“What a pity, what a pity.” Su Tong laid the dead youth on the ground. She did not blame Big Horn, but instead walked away with an unusual coldness, seemingly unwilling to prepare the boy’s body for burial.
Next came an examination of Second Sister’s condition. After Elder Mo took her pulse, he discovered that the girl had been infected by the mutants’ toxins. The reason the infection had not erupted immediately was the silver hairpin she wore.
The first time she had encountered the Red Lotus Incident, she had been unable to hold herself back. Her emotions had risen and fallen so violently that even secluding herself in meditation had failed to calm her mind. Now that it was happening for the second time, she was far more composed.
Seeing that something was wrong from his seat in the stands, Cheng Xuan immediately contacted Zhou Yu. “What is going on? Who is this person? Shouldn’t we have been notified in advance about a newcomer? Why haven’t we received anything?” A barrage of questions came one after another.
The Undying Bird excitedly threw a few flashy punches in midair. Judging from that hateful expression, it probably had not yet shown its full strength.
The Cloud Palace had also suffered considerable damage. Fortunately, its protective formations remained intact. Spiritual light flashed, restoring it to its original state in an instant and barely making it suitable as a place to receive guests.
Once a rift appeared between the two sides, what followed might well be a war involving the entire Western Continent.
Tonight, Wang Tianhao was not the only one in the spotlight. Everyone’s attention was also focused on Li Ya’er. Without her, Wang Tianhao would never have appeared here.
On the balcony, Ye Wuwei’s pupils contracted sharply. From there, he could not see everything in front of the hotel, but he could make out the few family warriors standing in the open space. Just now, a black shadow had flashed past, and he immediately knew—
The Azure Infant in Su Tong’s hand began struggling violently, as though she were trying to restrain a maddened wild horse with one hand. Though Su Tong exerted all her strength, the Azure Infant still tore free of the fiery breath binding it and swiftly escaped toward the lamp opening.
To the Jade Emperor, an existence like the Nine-Headed Infant was useless without a powerful background. Even possessing the strength of a Great Unity Golden Immortal would mean nothing.
Onstage, even Phillips, who was doing his utmost to keep his composure, was utterly bewildered. He thought this was an extra act arranged by the organizers.
After tailing old Mr. Newt Scamander for a week, he never appeared again. There had been no greeting and no warning, as though he had never shown up at all.

Influenced by films and television dramas, many people probably believe that jumping from a great height is perfectly safe as long as one lands in water—even from an airplane. In truth, that is completely wrong.
Princess Longji had always believed that Su Cheng’s strength was at least at the Great Unity Golden Immortal level. When she sensed the fluctuations of his power, she assumed only that Su Cheng had unleashed his full strength, intending to fight Qiongqi to the death. She could never have imagined that Su Cheng had only just broken through to the Great Unity Golden Immortal realm at that time.
Yan Shifan frowned. How had coming to the Student Growth Management Committee turned into this?
More terrifying still, the final batch of Wolf Fangs was utterly deranged. Hidden inside each blade was a dagger with an edge honed to the nanoscale. It could cleave even diamond in two, making it capable of cutting through virtually anything.
In an instant, an incredibly violent force erupted beneath Yuan Hong’s feet. A colossal typhoon swept forth with a thunderous roar, flinging Yuan Hong away.
A layer of fury lingered around Nangong Moyan, causing his body temperature to drop considerably. A biting chill radiated from him.
The passage within the tomb changed once again, becoming as spacious as an underground tunnel. Zhang Lei ran for a while before suddenly seeing light ahead. He immediately switched off his flashlight and hid to one side.
At the banquet, Governor Zhong kept his eyes almost exclusively on him, striking up conversations and drinking with him, showing concern at every turn.
“My defense was not meant to strike you. It was meant to help disperse the force so that you would not be injured. After you bewitched me, I could no longer defend myself, so you attacked my body directly. My body is countless times stronger than yours.”
They knew that a coup always resulted in deaths. They had merely lost, and those who lost had to pay the price.
“Domain!” Gu Tianfeng exerted himself frantically. The liquid internal energy within his body surged outward and spread across him, helping him withstand the force of that distance.
Whenever Lin Chuan practiced the Five-Animal Exercises, Cao Jie would come into the courtyard to “admire” his “performance.”
She was delighted. She walked two extra blocks to buy her son his favorite hamburger, then went to the butcher’s and bought a kilogram of spare ribs.

Since the Boundary-Breaking Stone was carried with the Bitter Sea Old Monster wherever he went, obtaining it meant that they had no choice but to make a trip to the abandoned Dragon Palace.
Then Chu Xujun crushed the wild fruits and the fire greens separately, making fruit juice and green-vegetable juice and placing them apart.
As if. No matter what, Meng Lingchuan would never agree to this. It was an heirloom meant to be passed down through the family.
Yet precisely because of this, Ye Chen grew increasingly curious. After all, Gu Yun possessed the aura of life.
“Er...” Geralt wanted to say something, but he did not wish to be bound by the title of nobleman of Rivia. The witcher knew very well that while nobles enjoyed the privileges granted by the kingdom, they also had to shoulder corresponding responsibilities. Even honorary nobles were no exception.
The story that “Consort Su had been disfigured and left with a rotting face” had been spread by her. She had thought she could ruin Consort Su, never imagining that both the Emperor and the Empress would stand by Consort Su.
Qin Chuan pushed Li Zhiyu away. “I thought you were going to say something important. What law says that people under twenty are forbidden to date?” With that, he left.
There was still a great deal to do. Besides, they had many matters to resolve, and could not afford to waste any more time here.
“You are right.” John knew when to speak and when to remain silent. He was the king’s most trusted man, and Foltest regarded him as a friend with whom he could speak freely.
Hearing Xuanyuan Haoran’s words, Tang Yan frowned slightly. Clearly, she had no idea what Xuanyuan Haoran was planning.
In the director’s office, the door was suddenly kicked open. The director inside shuddered, and two men walked in.
