Chapter 61

How could that be? After all, that place is by the coast, and the ocean moderates the temperature. It surely won't be as hot as Pingjing, where even the wind feels like fire, Xiao Jianyong persuaded.

Sima Yi sat upon the dragon throne, his expression terrifyingly gloomy. Ever since the Great Han dispatched troops against the Great Jin five years ago, he had scarcely received a single piece of good news. Every day brought reports of lost cities and territories, or of people turning traitor and surrendering entire cities, filling Sima Yi with profound rage.

Of course, such techniques of concealing one's aura on Oslo were, in the eyes of the Invincible, exceedingly crude.强者 of the Saint rank merely used their control over power to restrain most of their aura, but in reality, their lingering presence remained as obvious in the Invincible's perception as a giant torch in the pitch-black night.

Unless one's cultivation had reached the quasi-Sage level, opening the three flowers atop the head and moving with a protective canopy of cloud light, one would not fear the avatar of this Primordial Demonic Bead.

Hongjun glanced at the empty stool on the debating platform—the one originally prepared for Li Song, upon which Li Song had ultimately not sat—and said, "Had it not been for that single glance of care from Ruoshui, I'm afraid Xuanmu would have already taken his seat." Upon hearing this, the Ancestor of Demons, Luo, also fell silent.

Hearing this, Emily could not help laughing softly. "Since you are so confident, let's wait until the city is breached before we talk about leaving!" With a teasing look, she gazed at Bart.

Asura had a square head and a broad face, with plump earlobes and a wide nose, wearing an expression of compassionate benevolence toward all living beings in the three realms. There was no longer a trace of the fluttering white robes and the lean, handsome demeanor he possessed when he was Duobao in the截教, leaving one to sigh at the unpredictable turns of the world.

"Then let's park the car in the alley, close to the edge. I doubt any other vehicle will try to pass through here," Xiao Han had no choice but to say.

Yuanshi Tianzun removed his bamboo hat with his left hand while simultaneously flicking his right hand, instantly manifesting a massive tomb. The corpse of the Kunpeng Patriarch was placed inside—this was the grave erected for the Kunpeng Patriarch. A tomb built by a Saint was indeed unimaginably grandiose, towering a thousand zhang high and a hundred zhang wide.

Seeing the dual cultivator of magic and martial arts instantly charge toward the dark dragon, another dual cultivator let out a cold snort. "This time, let's not kill the prey at the same time again. That takes away the fun." With a flash of his figure, he vanished.

Seeing that everyone was calling Boss Wang, Li Zhao knew that the task of applying pressure on Boss Wang was complete. With so many distinguished guests facing threats in his establishment, it would be a wonder if he dared not return.

"Father, why did that old bastard Li Yuanqing summon you to go see him?" Zhang Tianshan hurriedly asked.

Elder Huang's lips moved again, though in the end he said nothing. Yet one could tell from his expression that doing such a thing seemed highly unusual.

Moreover, he had absolute confidence in his footwork, for what he excelled at most was movement and speed, not hand-to-hand combat.

The three strikes that managed to hit him were blocked and neutralized by the scroll, while the others lost their mark, striking the ground and leaving shallow pits.

Elder Du looked at the young disciple before him, who had already experienced the baptism of blood. A youth who had endured countless perilous battles and numerous injuries without shedding a single tear was now welling up with moisture in his eyes simply because he felt he had brought shame upon his sect.

Liang Can remained expressionless as he walked slowly to Liang Sui's side, supporting her onto the bed while speaking in a soft voice.

Jia Mingkong hurriedly swapped the exploding Dao talisman in his hand for a Water Dragon Talisman, attempting to annihilate the fire puppet using a water dragon.

Besides, young people should not always hide in greenhouses; they need to weather more storms and trials. After all, you cannot stay in a greenhouse forever, and sooner or later you must face the cruel world.

Passing through the bird-headed gate and crossing the covered corridor, one came to the estate's floral pond, where fish played among lotus leaves and ripples gently danced.

In less than two minutes, the entire plate of food was completely devoured by Jack. This was perhaps the first time Jack had eaten until his stomach felt truly full. Reaching out to touch his abdomen, a faint trace of a smile finally appeared on his otherwise completely expressionless face.

Even the Heavenly Emperor was thus, and mortal rulers could hardly be exempt from such common human sentiments. Ever since the Ninth Brother's birth until his youngest son recovered from illness, it was a tale of bitter tears and hardship. Believing the trials were finally over and that he could henceforth tend to matters with peace of mind, he had not expected the Empress Dowager to fall ill as well. The Ninth Brother felt a breath stuck heavily in his chest, unable to dissipate no matter how hard he tried.

Losing the traction of the jellyfish-like demon, the flesh-egg plummeted toward the ground. Yet in that brief moment of delay, the flesh-egg had completely closed up, squirming as a whole, though what bizarre trick it was about to pull next remained unknown.

Not to mention, such a vulgar remark by Han Meng actually resonated with quite a few people present. Many of them on the scene were practitioners themselves and deeply disliked the arrogant tone Vichai had just used.

At this moment in the loading hall, the ponytailed man was sipping red wine in leisurely ease, though the unease between his brows grew increasingly intense.

Lady Shen took a silver comb from her hair and handed it to Sister Yu, saying, "I've often meant to give it to you, but with so many people around, I always forgot to present a greeting gift. This pattern is this year's newly issued palace style, notable for its exquisite craftsmanship." Sister Yu glanced at Xiuying, and seeing her nod, she offered a deep curtsy to express her gratitude before accepting it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng instantly understood. He knew that yesterday morning, Zheng had ordered the burial of the corpses from the slaughtered city, and he had even heard that Zheng intended to build some sort of Dragon King Temple near the deep pool.

What Tang Xuan said coincided precisely with Ye Wei's thoughts: they would combine his invisibility bracelet with Tang Xuan's telepathic detection to slowly probe toward the center of the enemy forces. They would strive to have the entire team reach the central port, halt the transport of the iron cannons, and, if possible, capture the cannons intact.

His mind went completely blank. All the supreme lightness techniques he had ever studied vanished from his memory, leaving only the singular impulse to step forward, protect his wife and child, and shield them from all incoming harm.

The trade delegation previously dispatched by Russia carried the intention of probing to break this deadlock, hoping at least to find a portion of general magical artifacts at the Chinese Magus Association that could replace European and American products, thereby easing the exploitation by Western nations.

Lacking communication yet possessing such an imposing aura, Qiuyue and the others naturally reacted this way in front of Yang Yi. Although this could hardly be blamed on Yang Yi—she wasn't doing it on purpose—Yuan Fang simply found her grating.

"Understood, Teacher." The red and green brilliance intertwined into a spiral within Shiki's eyes. This spiral, perceived through her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception of the highest rank known as "Rainbow," manifested within the scenery reflected upon her retina.

There were simply too many guards at the palace gates. If the boxes were opened here, Jia Lian's news of bringing silver into the palace would likely spread throughout Great Xuan before he even laid eyes on the Emperor.
