Volume 1, Chapter 60: Mount Wu

The young man appeared to be around thirty years old. He had a handsome face, and his attire instantly looked extremely expensive, with a Rolex watch on his right wrist, clearly indicating an extraordinary background.
The young man wore a smile as he produced a box, opened it to reveal an ancient jade of unique design resting inside.
"Elder Wu, I recently acquired another piece of ancient jade. I came to visit today hoping you could take a look and evaluate its quality for me!" the young man said with a smile.
As he spoke, he placed the box containing the jade before the elderly man.
Hearing the words "ancient jade," the old man's attention was instantly captured.
He casually reached over for his spectacles, put them on, and leaned forward...
If Song Zixian, the owner of the auspicious gambling house, was truly a demon from the Sui and Tang dynasties, then things would become very tricky, because I could never defeat such a millennium-old monster.
Under the amber light, her thick eyelashes cast a row of shadows beneath her eyelids, trembling gently and revealing her unease.
In his past life, he was able to cause the destruction of Yunlin Temple and the death of everyone in it. So now, if Lin Shisheng was going to take him back to the Lin family, did it mean that he might also drag the Lin family into an abyss of eternal damnation?
Facing a highly favorable battlefield situation, Xu Zifeng and Major General Morgan discussed the matter and decided to immediately advance two hundred kilometers northward to establish a second forward base, turning the current forward base into a rear strategic base.
Upon seeing the red area covering the entire map, most of it was crimson, while the black areas marked the core positions within each crimson region.
As it turned out, this school was not a public institution but a private one. Its establishment involved many complex factors; even the funds to build it came from various channels, including government allocations and donations from townspeople, with the largest share coming from sponsorships by various corporate groups.
A shifting, blurred giant hand pressed down on Bill's mouth. He struggled violently, looking toward the gray ape upon the throne, as a thick sense of death surged from the depths of his heart.
A look of melancholy appeared in the dead warrior's eyes. He stared at his own hands, a sorrow so profound as if it would swallow him whole. He still remembered the tumbling stones when Bansa left, sealing off the light outside. Back then, he was only half a person high, newly born, and the only thing he remembered was the task Bansa had entrusted to him.
Savi gently stroked the gun in his hand, recalling the visions of the past he had witnessed in the underground world. His father Ezekiel's demon-subduing gun seemed to have the function of enhancing power with blood.

Her statement that she didn't like it certainly wasn't the response she gave him when he first returned—that she wasn't used to undressing outside... She simply disliked that sense of instability, of something being forcibly thrust into her life.
Last year, the building materials merchant Jiang Nian brought his wife to see Lu Jinghuai. At the time, because a batch of materials had defects, Lu Jinghuai had refused to continue the cooperation.
"I know, I'm not nervous." Ares, who claimed he wasn't nervous, had his entire body unconsciously tensed up.
His appearance seemed to attract the attention of quite a few people. The din in the entire cafeteria suddenly subsided by a few degrees, like a cold breeze sweeping through, bringing with it a trace of unease.
Ye Yi slowly stepped into the room, his entire person exuding an undeniable majesty and chill. His gaze was like a torch, staring straight at the subtle atmosphere between Gewan and Chenyi, a playful smile hooking the corners of his lips.
Her cell phone rang, and she reached out to pick it up. A wave of soreness washed over her lower back, hurting her so much that she momentarily doubted life itself.
Gewan extended her right hand, her palm resting on the candied fruit she had just bought from the town market. Would eating it make the bitterness in her mouth a little better?
His hair had long since lost its luster from a few days ago, clinging messily to his pale cheeks. His eyes were tightly closed, and dried blood still stained the corners of his mouth, making him look exceptionally pathetic.
Due to the presence of dark matter, both the water sources and the soil in Mowei were unusable, which was also the reason for the scarcity of supplies.
Li Wuyou had originally thought that all celebrities should wear peculiar and uniquely styled outfits, so he had naturally assumed that the stylist was Xiao Xinglan, leading to a huge and comical misunderstanding.
Lu Xiao's head, however, crashed into Ares's chest, leaving her a bit dazed. She hadn't expected Ares to look lean, yet his body was so hard.
Lin Feng's brow furrowed even deeper. They were outmatched by the other party in both numbers and strength, and if two more experts were to arrive now, the scale would truly tilt in Peng Guobin's favor.
Although the Klamars had affiliated themselves with the Alliance, they possessed a high degree of autonomy over their own stellar territory. Without an order from the Alliance's Supreme Military Committee, no Alliance fleet could casually enter Klamar space.
Lin Feng was also momentarily stunned. Mount Longhu was both a Daoist sanctuary and a forbidden zone for outsiders. When he set out this time, he had arranged for his team members to wait for him at Mount Longhu because not only was it an excellent cultivation dojo, but it also provided effective defense against surprise attacks by outsiders.
For the first time, Han Yan felt a slight trace of regret for his absolute confidence. If he had only brought more men along, he could have stationed guards outside to find out the moment anything went wrong.

The old cargo ship occasionally emitted teeth-grunting sounds of metal friction. Lear curled up in the interlayer of a shipping container, watching with a cold expression as a screen showed Ningning weeping while explaining his whereabouts to a man.
Though Tang Chen couldn't fathom why Zhou Xuanying was angry, he was much more "slick" now and understood the logic of taking a roundabout approach and saving the nation through a detour.
Bai Yu smiled, saying there were many gods in the West, and Athena was merely one of them, and not even the strongest at that. In other words, beyond the superior gods, there were even stronger existences.
"It's settled then, let's do it that way." Lear turned off the communicator, sat blankly in his chair for a moment, and then once again opened the files of the two people, reading through them carefully before glancing at their current address.
The immense explosive energy instantly filled a range of several light-seconds, and countless fragments scattered in all directions like a rainstorm. The Alliance fleet was caught completely off guard and forced to scatter its formation; the sudden massive explosion delayed them by a full fifteen seconds.
"No, I originally wanted to contact you too, but the digital watch malfunctioned as soon as I entered those ancient ruins," Hong Wu hurriedly explained.
Although Tang Feng was already at the sixth stage of initial comprehension, the deeper he went into the Eight Needles of Taiyi, the more energy and true qi it consumed. Having completed the needles, while Tang Feng wasn't reduced to exhaustion, he was too tired to have much strength left.
Under the protection of the golden lotus, even though the Scarlet-Fire Eagle exerted all its might, blowing the wild grass on the ground down to the roots and even ripping up vast patches of topsoil, Sun Cheng remained completely calm and composed in the face of this gale.
"You want to stop me too?" Lin羽 glared angrily at Fairy Bingning, who stood before him with her proud sword, killing intent raging.
Suddenly, the Mirror of Reflection erupted with a dazzling light. A strand of true qi within his body surged out of control, plunging directly into the mirror. A moment later, a figure appeared upon the surface of the Mirror of Reflection.
"Before the second wave of the infected arrived, a stampede had already broken out in the city, hadn't it?" Unohana Retsu calmly put down her scalpel, looking without grief or joy at the military police corps member whose body was gradually breaking down before her.
Wasn't this fellow that legendary, mystical divine swindler from the early Tang dynasty in Earth's history? Was he also an immortal cultivator? And he even created the Sword-Casting Valley!
