Twenty-six thousand and twenty-six

"How are you going to kill them? You hide here and can't even touch a hair on a worm, yet you claim to have them trapped?" Captain Chrome spoke up suddenly, his voice dripping with sarcasm. His resentment toward Tungsten had been festering for a long time.

The more this went on, the more greedy he became for Apocalypse’s mutant abilities. Integrating all those powers into his own soul would undoubtedly be a massive windfall.

He had begun to sense that something was wrong; the Federation, which styled itself as the world’s police, along with the other four major powers, were turning a blind eye to such formidable military strength.

"No need to look, it’s real. Do you really think I would try to fool you with a fake?" Shen Gu found it amusing; the old man was really something else.

Ning Hanmang held her with one arm while drawing his sword from the saddle, batting away the incoming arrows.

"Could it have been stolen?! When the time comes, Beauty Lin will frame the Empress for stealing someone else's property!" Bishui immediately exclaimed.

The adjutant certainly remembered this big shot. Since his boss treated him with such special consideration, he had to be polite.

Raising the entire Nine Provinces nation to a new level in just three months was no simple task. Qin Mu sent the plan he had spent all night writing to every elder and then opened the PowerPoint presentation on his computer to begin his lecture.

Just as they looked in the direction Tong Zhijia pointed, a massive shadow suddenly flew overhead. The hurricane stirred up by its wings nearly blew them right out of the forest.

During this period, as the Lord of Blood Prison City, he had fully reaped the benefits of the Main God’s Cemetery.

Zhao Yun’s arrival had helped us just in time, but I had more suspicions about her identity. For someone so young to command such respectful speech from Chai Shan meant she was clearly no ordinary person.

When everyone heard this, they felt assured. No need to ask; they knew Wu You had it in the bag.

I asked Granny Wang, "Granny Wang, what did my master go down there to do?" Hadn't he already been sentenced to have seven years of his lifespan cut short?

After Chief He finished his overbearing declaration, he left the child aside, which made Ke Xiangbao unable to help but laugh.

The city was quite spacious. Many people sat cross-legged on both sides of the road, with shimmering crystal balls laid out before them, containing a dazzling array of various artifacts.

Ye Lingchen’s heart stirred. A peace fruit... Although he felt he could keep her safe, would she be even happier with one?

Two minutes later, Mo Fei changed his palm to a finger, moving up four inches. He channeled an extremely pure yet gentle strand of immortal spirit energy into three major acupuncture points in the heart meridian, which were the key to suppressing the Fairy of Hundred Flowers' own immortal energy.

Three hours passed. Beads of sweat appeared on Wu Lei’s forehead, but the seal formation remained stubborn.

After a long while, the Fairy of Hundred Flowers walked gracefully from the pear trees, tear tracks still on her face. Her time in the Heavenly Court had taught her to hide her emotions, so after leaving the pear grove, she wiped away the tears, and an indescribable smile immediately bloomed on her face.

Once granted permission, Luo Kang’an felt a surge of joy. "They might be on duty. I’ll go look for them; I’ll be back within an hour at the latest." Dropping those words, he ran off immediately, not taking the proper path but leaping off the terrace instead.

Along the way, they encountered people bowing to them, but the three ignored them and headed straight for the prison where the captives were held.

What kind of reason was that? Bai Linglong asked, "What guest is so important?" The implication being, important enough to delay work?

Of course, unless one encountered top-tier pills or found a Pill Master to refine a Life-Force Pill, restoring her eyes would be impossible. However, in the Martial Soul Continent, even Pill Sects were rarely heard of, let alone a Pill Master. Even if one were found, given Lin Kun’s current Pill Soul Realm, the hope of requesting such a service was slim.

In her previous life, Qin Tingting feared the original owner would reveal the truth. After casting her into the cold palace, she would send people to pose as ghosts every evening to terrify her.

It was worth it! Regardless of victory or defeat, Qin Yi felt that for Luo Kang’an to achieve such a feat, the money she spent was well-invested. She believed Luo Kang’an’s contributions had far exceeded what the Qin Corporation had provided, and she even felt the company had previously mistreated him.

Seeing that the young woman was beautiful, he had subconsciously dreamed of her, yet he always touted himself as a man of virtue. Deep down, however, he was just like any other mortal, filled with seven emotions and six desires. How laughable! To think he could compose such a lewd and clever poem. Perhaps upon returning to the capital, he should find a matchmaker.

If someone were useless, rather than keeping this variable around, it would be better to let her fend for herself.

She could feel Xiao Liangmu’s current indifference toward her; even her current position was only salvaged by that past event.

Waiting here, there was no telling when the rain would stop, though she likely wouldn’t get soaked too badly.

Meng Li said, "That is why I suspect the City Lord has already been murdered, and that the current City Lord is likely the Demon Emperor." Long Luo replied, "Even if your theory is correct, many people have met the City Lord, haven't they? After all these years, has no one discovered the difference?"

"Heh, I am of the Daoist lineage, Supreme Xuanwu, Ru Huan. You demons are certainly bold, daring to come to the Bloodthirsty Battlefield so openly. Do you truly think the Daoist and Buddhist paths have no one left?" the young man in the black robe, Ru Huan, sneered coldly.

"Brother Mu Yue, isn't it a bit too early to say that? Hahaha!" Yi He replied with a soft chuckle, followed by a burst of loud laughter.

Long Zhiru said, "I understand. Telling them will only add to their troubles." She looked back at Long Luo once more before leaving. As soon as she departed, Xue Qingru appeared on the snowy mountain. Seeing her, Mo Li said, "Master, Supreme Zhiru has been here."
