Shi Zilu stood in Shi Jing’s study and carefully recounted the entire affair, watching her elder brother’s expression with trepidation.

Would he scold her for not telling him sooner? She had nearly harmed Tingfeng as well...

Her eyes reddened. If only she had seen through that man earlier.

Shi Jing set down the brush in his hand without changing expression and looked up.

“If I want him dead, would you object, little sister?”

His gaze, devoid of the slightest emotion, struck her like a blade. Shi Zilu’s breath caught.

She knew her brother was serious, but...

“Brother, could you imprison him instead of taking his life?”

She heard her own strained voice fall into the silent room, and then—

With a dull thud, the purple goblin’s body burst apart, sending poisonous blood and chunks of flesh flying in every direction.

If an ordinary person put all his strength into smashing a piece of soft tofu, might he not even be able to deform it?

Was I willing to accept that? Of course not. But after Lord Hai’s family changed their attitude, continuing to press the matter would mean Fatty Sun and I were meddling where we had no business.

More importantly, he could finally loot the place. He wondered whether there was any monkey wine here. If there was, this trip would be a tremendous profit.

“Come on, climb up,” Joey said, riding over to him and extending a hand.

In Xu Gui’s eyes, Mu Yi might not yet be a lamb waiting for slaughter, but he certainly could no longer be his opponent.

After Mrs. Anderson left, Tommy asked Joey to come to his room. There was something he wanted to discuss with her.

After all, the beast tide that appeared later might well consist of aberrant beasts attacking alongside snow beasts. When that happened, the pressure they faced would be even greater.

From beginning to end, Old Master Ning seemed to have lost his soul. By the time everyone had left, he had collapsed completely onto the floor.

Under Yu Qing’s adjustments, some of them could display planets and even nebulae, while others showed nothing more than scattered points of light.

If they agreed but Lin Yiqiu was not in the residence, their search would reveal his absence, and that would create even greater trouble.

On the cliff, a clear tear slid from Lan Yue’s eye. If she jumped, would it hurt? Surely even the greatest physical pain could not compare with the desolation in her heart.

“You beast! I know you can understand me. Listen carefully: your children are in my hands. You cannot save them. If you want them to live, you must do exactly as I say!” a somewhat weak voice suddenly rang out.

What she said was reasonable, but the fact that the Emperor and Empress had been married for nearly a month without consummating their union was clearly far beyond Lu Yanzhen’s expectations.

Even if Qiu Shaoze were unbelievably powerful, he could not possibly be strong enough to fight all of Ye Lingfeng’s personal guards alone.

Ye Qinghuai knew he would not be able to get anything out of him, so she simply stopped asking. Her expression, however, grew darker and darker.

秋锦 was connected to her in some way, after all, and had accompanied her for so many years. She absolutely could not stand by and do nothing.

Jia Zhangshi was reluctant when she heard this, but after seeing Qin Huairu’s meaningful glance, she stopped haggling.

Did she really have to take that final step? Once she killed them, there would be no turning back. An Ge began secretly gathering her strength.

Li Yan’s brows drew together when he heard this. The envoy was right: the rear camp was filled entirely with people promoted by Li Zijing. He had no confidence whatsoever in how they would handle matters. Yet if he wanted to replace them, he had neither his own personnel nor any room to maneuver, and the interests involved were far too extensive.

“You—you, I only asked Wan Yue out for a meal. Why did you have to cut off one of my hands?” Ji Zhiwei hurriedly picked up his severed hand and swallowed a supreme-grade pill.

When he heard the voice, Gao Yigong immediately perked up. He stuck out his head to inspect the situation at Baofeng. The night was utterly dark; although he could hear the sounds, he had no idea what was happening beneath the city walls.

Li Daochen stared at the man and dragon in astonishment. They had not even met Li Lizhi, yet they had already started fighting?

After gathering the wandering immortals who had been thrown into chaos in the Western Sea, the Demon God Kongxuan dispatched some of them to seek information about the True Immortals.

His thinking was not nearly as narrow as that of the people around him. In later generations, there was a famous strategy known as “surrounding the cities from the countryside.”

Now another question arose: should he proceed using a domestic identity, or incorporate elements from some foreign companies?

There was another thing Zhang Rong had left unsaid. The revolution in the south was growing increasingly intense, and China seemed to be on the verge of a sweeping transformation. By contrast, the revolutionaries in the north had suffered repeated setbacks and accomplished nothing. Once the whole country was liberated, where would the revolutionaries of the Northeast stand? And how could Zhang Rong possibly expect to be entrusted with important responsibilities?

Luo Ben hesitated slightly. Should he take out his ducal insignia? Although, with the war already underway, it would seem strange for him, the grand duke in charge of military affairs as the leader of an allied nation, to appear here, his insignia was genuine and beyond dispute.

Time rewound to eight o’clock the previous evening. Even Fengtian Province had felt the distinct trembling of the ground, and in a few households, lamps had been shaken from their places and smashed on the floor. Japanese soldiers, having grown up on an island nation, were naturally no strangers to such tremors. Thus, the fierce battle ended abruptly because of the natural disaster.

Although Levi had not had much contact with Lancer, the other party had nevertheless left a deep impression on him. He was a soldier—and a general at that. As an assassin who had slain countless high-ranking officials, Levi trusted that he had not misjudged him.

The most troublesome part was that the other side’s Heroic Spirit seemed to possess a Noble Phantasm capable of resurrection. Without clarifying the giant’s identity and the exact nature of his Noble Phantasm, rashly confronting a Heroic Spirit with overwhelming parameters and the ability to revive would be a very poor bargain.

That fellow was simply an aberration. Three Purple Void talismans had actually been destroyed instantly by the Red-Dust Emperor.

Was it insane for the mongrel to summon Rice Cake? No. In fact, it was not insane at all. To discover where the insanity truly lay, one need only wait for Rice Cake’s final Noble Phantasm.

“Is your Seventh Senior Sister really that extraordinary? Why would she take a liking to your Seventh Senior Brother? He is only a doctor.”

Blue waves of light surged over Luo Ben’s body, each stronger than the last. He brought his five fingers together and slammed his fist into the ground. A blue ripple, resembling a wave of water, slowly spread outward from him.

“I had people make this during the past few days. Take a look.” Wang Yongjiang pulled out a bound stack of papers. They still carried the faint smell of printer’s ink. He handed them to Ye Zhong.

The three men frowned.

“Who are you? Is this really the research center? How can just anyone be allowed in?”

The man in front shouted disdainfully.
