Chapter 61

Unable to contain his rage any longer, the guard let out a fierce roar, drew the longsword at his waist, and lunged at Emperor Zhang with formidable momentum and ruthless intent, aiming straight for his vital points.

Fortunately, Elder Li of the Third Martial Arts Hall had left Ruoshui Town a few days prior; otherwise, seeing this spectacle would have surely made him spit blood in anger.

However, this pristine appearance was merely on the surface—an illusion conjured up by that entity.

The wild jungle area in Invincible mode was exceptionally easy to play through. This was a low-tier match, completely devoid of any need to guard against enemies invading the jungle or stealing the red buff.

Upon hearing Li Runze say this, the group kneeling before him finally let out a sigh of relief.

The smile on Emperor Zhang's face grew even more radiant, his wise eyes seeming to pierce through everything about the guard.

Never before had the Never-Forget Bell undergone such a transformation, and for this very reason, Ling Hanshan grew even more worried.

Although their relationship was now public, in an occasion like this, Yan Ying could only address her as instructor.

Having finally negotiated the job, Yun Lai felt she ought to find something to occupy herself. With a husband who served as mere decoration and completely ignored her, she could never expect a man to support her. Yun Lai had never even entertained such a thought; no matter how bitter or difficult things got, she would simply grit her teeth and push through.

I remember once when it brushed against your sideburns, a half-bed of cool moonlight lingering in half-sleep. Past joys remain within the dream-soul, naturally breaking one's intestines—why bother waiting for the autumn wind?

"When the imperial prince was born, his cry was so loud," the wet nurse said with a hint of flattery, the joy on her face making Imperial Concubine Rou exceptionally happy.

The only thing the immortals knew was that the three of them frequently made appointments to duel in distant, desolate heavenly realms to test their progress in the Dao. Upon returning, Great Immortal Yue Zhan was mostly smiling, Lu Li mostly sighing repeatedly, and Hongchen mostly calm and composed, making it impossible for the immortals to determine who was stronger and who was weaker.

"Naturally, it's our Jade-Faced Alliance," Wen Qiuxia said with a sense of pride. However, Ning Hong failed to understand this; why would someone so powerful not participate in guild wars? It left him completely baffled.

Hearing the cloaked figure's growing irritation, Yuri Yu knew he could no longer escape and blurted out everything he had previously discussed with his friends. It was only when the vines wrapping around his entire body tightened relentlessly, making him feel suffocated, that he finally spilled every single detail in one breath.

Seeing this, Gu Qingwan could not help but admire the Empress's capability, resolving a potentially grave situation into a minor one with a gentle touch. One must know that if the matter of cursing a princess were truly pursued to the end, it really could cost people their lives.

As for the location received on her phone just moments ago, Xiao Hansheng was virtually certain of the identities of those involved.

The Emperor stripped off his external accessories, such as his jade pendant, preparing to go down into the water to save someone. Right at that moment, Jiang Xue placed one hand on the riverbank.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingwan hurriedly scooped the child from the wet nurse's arms. She carefully inspected Qingcheng's swaddling clothes and her body, and even had Hongzhi thoroughly check the wet nurse.

Luo Feilin had not seen Qin Mohuan for a long time. She had been missing him constantly before, but now that Qin Mohuan had returned, she hadn't found an opportunity to go in and see him.

Furthermore, the two of them simultaneously planted array stones around Manshali and then advanced forward with full confidence.

"No way, does he really have it?" Turning their heads in unison, they caught sight of Gu Feng's furrowed brows and thoughtful expression, causing them to cry out in astonishment once again.

Seeing this pure white knight appear before him, Li Lin smiled, stepped forward, and helped her up. Yet Lily seemed somewhat reserved in the face of Li Lin's slightly intimate gesture.

"My—my place?" The beauty clearly had not expected Bao Bei to make such a request; her tone wavered slightly, uncertain of how to respond.

That was a dog as white as snow, without a single stray hair of another color. Its coat was white, glossy, and exceptionally beautiful. As soon as Bao Bei pushed the door open and entered, the dog immediately leaped up from the bed and turned its gaze toward him.

Yet Fang Hao did not stop. He assumed a lunge stance, thrust both hands forward, and with a resounding boom, another massive beam of blue light shot forth, reducing a dozen black-armored guards to fine dust.

The Biluo Stone slid slowly forward. As it brushed past the massive Huangquan Stone Stele, Baixue felt an inexplicable sense of trance, as if all of this were real—as if he had truly walked past the Huangquan Stone Stele and was genuinely walking along the legendary, ancient Road to the Underworld.

Lin Xiaoxiao was flustered by her anxiety, but hearing Rose put it this way, she also felt it made sense and immediately nodded in agreement.

The bodyguards outside had dispersed, and Mingyue led Bao Bei into the house. Just as Bao Bei had imagined, it consisted of standard guest rooms—not large, but extremely luxurious, with breathtaking scenery and complete furnishings.

The dance floor in a venue like this was exceptional, something Bao Bei had always adored. Powered by advanced technology, the visual effects of the dance floor were remarkably stunning and grandiose. Virtual projections and true-color pigments ensured that both those dancing within and those watching from the outside were deeply mesmerized.

The guild channel was the most convenient place for guild members to communicate. Furthermore, beneath the main guild channel were various mid-level channels, and beneath those mid-level channels were countless sub-channels. Most people resided permanently in a single mid-level channel, interacting with a community of merely a few hundred individuals.

Cao Long and Cao Hu were two Seven-Star Origin Masters of the Cao family. Judging by their appearance, they were around fifty years old and bore a strong resemblance to one another, suggesting they were brothers.

Seeing this, Liang Dong understood instantly. It seemed the Four Grandmasters were also captivated by the cultivation techniques and had no time to deal with these cultivators for the moment. There was nothing Liang Dong could do in this situation; surely he couldn't order the Four Grandmasters to go find manuals for them, could he?

The Star Nation was the lifeblood of his father and brothers. If asked to abandon it, they would rather perish alongside the stars than leave.

"Ah-Jie, is it about that assassin? Is the situation very tricky?" Qin Hu asked, having already guessed a few things from Feng Liangjie's expression.

Grandpa Zhang was somewhat stunned by Zhou Baodong's shout, staring closely at Zhou Baodong with a rather surprised look on his face.

Dantai Mingyue gave a faint smile. The old Daoist's pagoda had some unique properties and seemed quite formidable, but wanting to suck her inside was no easy feat. She immediately formed a hand seal, and countless green vines spread outward, sweeping relentlessly toward the old Daoist and his two disciples.

Lin Xifan was now filled with doubts. In order to figure out the reason behind all this, he pursued the ninja even more cautiously, determined to uncover the adversary's true intentions.

An Undying Body lived up to its name: it would not perish. Of course, this was only relative; all things in existence reside within cause and effect—where there is a cause, there is an effect, and where there is an effect, there is a cause.
