Zhao Jia walked in front, leading Lu Xun around the screen wall.
In the courtyard stood a large pagoda tree, its branches spreading like a canopy, gathering a faint aura of spiritual energy.
Stepping into the inner courtyard, Lu Xun felt a moment of disorientation.
The layout here was identical to Mei Lan’s residence, only larger and deeper in scope.
He allowed Zhao Jia to keep a firm grip on his wrist.
"Brother Cat is here!"
Hearing Jia’s hearty laughter, the visibly pregnant Wang Ruo frowned.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s words, the others also wore expressions of anger, but since Shen Zhi did not retort, they dared not speak out of turn and could only follow him away with sullen looks.
As for the members of the Ye Tian team, a dangerous and ominous piece of news was rapidly closing in on them.
First summoned by the strongest captain of the intermediate class, and now by the captain of the Devil Team—my god, this guy is simply too powerful. He has barely arrived, and he has already attracted the attention of two terrifying existences.
Chu Tian’s expression turned cold as he looked at the fragments on the ground. These shards emitted a soft, crystalline white light; when pieced together, they appeared to be an artifact of white jade.

Moreover, the heads of the major aristocratic families, the elders, the Great Sages, and the Great Saint Celestials had all discovered the commotion here.
The expressions of everyone changed in unison, realizing that it would not be long before more ferocious beasts came surging in.
"Thank you for protecting me. Don't worry, even if you are killed by them, I will avenge you when I grow up," Er Danzi said with a sincere expression.
Every bit of his mockery was for Su Wanbai’s sake. If it had been his own affair, he would not have bothered to utter a single word of retort to those hateful trolls in the audience.
"Certainly, certainly!" Chu Tian smiled faintly. Though he said this, he knew in his heart that it would likely be impossible. After today’s events, he would be lucky to escape unscathed.
Since this so-called Immortal Donghua dared to claim the title of Immortal and throw his weight around in this massive Dongyun City, he certainly had something to rely on.
"The General once promised to take Lan’er." Lacking the natural advantage of Huan’er, Lan’er chose a sentimental approach, looking up at Li Yu with a pitiful, fragile expression.
Seeing Xiao Wen agree, a wave of cheers erupted from below, and the new disciples began to cheer him on.
If not for the fact that Li Deming was his father, Li Yuanhao would have already lunged forward with his powerful eagle-claw technique to tear that hateful old mouth to shreds.
Liang Qiru had felt a hint of panic when Zhu Jianhua informed him that the meeting was postponed. When he learned that Xiao Hanqing had actually gone as far as Hainan, this panic turned into terror. He frantically dialed Zhu Jianhua’s pager; Zhu returned the first call, then claimed to be busy and turned his pager off.
"If one were to conquer this city, one hundred thousand soldiers would not be enough," Li Yu remarked, looking down at the sturdy, imposing city beneath his feet.

After all, Wu Dawei’s performance had been so formidable that the Charlotte team naturally had no reason not to double-team him as he attacked the rim.
With this jolt, Jian Yi realized that compared to the inexplicable environment he had suddenly found himself in, the two things that had appeared in his mind were far more worthy of attention.
The progress of the work over these past three days was much better than he had initially anticipated. As long as they maintained this pace, the Seven Luminaries Flame Burning Formation, which enveloped the entire valley, would be completed in about two days.
"What is it? Comrade Malinovsky, what does Comrade Chapayev’s telegram say?" Seeing the expression on his chief of staff’s face, a sense of foreboding rose from the bottom of Frunze’s heart.
Staring at the pink diamond, which glowed with a magnificent, quiet light, Hua Cuo curled his lips in disdain with his deep, peach-blossom eyes.
The implication was that they did not see any issue with that pile of mud at all; even if the mud stayed there forever, it wouldn't matter.
She deliberately spoke in circles to play mind games with Gu Guilan, consciously avoiding the main subject, intending to hide her strength and prevent leaking any information to her opponent.
