Chapter 36

Amidst the calculated waiting, Zhao Chuanzhi ascended to the sea surface and, under the protection of his robots, headed toward the base where the twelve families were preparing for nuclear war.

"There were times when I even felt you weren't the Gao Yue I knew, yet... you are still the Gao Yue I love most. So often, I have no idea what you are thinking or what you are doing," Han Bing said.

As the men were busy spouting nonsense, a troop of cavalry clad in gleaming silver armor emerged from the left flank of the Ming army. This unit was impeccably drilled; in less time than it takes to brew a cup of tea, they had formed three neat wedge formations and, at the sound of the war drums, charged diagonally into the Qing vanguard.

I had assumed that entering the city meant reaching the dark prison, but who could have known that once we crossed the gates, the interior would still be nothing but a vast, desolate wasteland.

Cannons roared, but those three fist-sized iron balls flew into the midst of over four thousand cavalrymen like stones dropped into the ocean, failing to stir even the slightest ripple.

This reorganization of the salt administration provided him with a breakthrough. Although he had thoroughly offended the Duke of Wei, Li Pengju of Nanjing, the Marquis of Linhuai, Li Yi, and the Jin merchant Fan Qianshan, he had simultaneously won over the influential clans of Yangzhou and other regions.

"You possess no foundation in divine arts. To study this technique rashly, even if you learn only a fragment, means you do not have much time left." The golden-eyed youth spoke with a gentle, flowing cadence, yet his words left Ye Yuan feeling as though his entire body were freezing, sinking into an abyss.

In this world where magic reigns supreme, the ancient profession of the archer has not been rendered obsolete because archers possess advantages that magicians do not.

If Zhang Tong were truly preparing to make a cameo as the Russian character from Street Fighter II, then playing Blanka would undoubtedly be the most fitting choice for him.

The ice wine appeared incredibly frigid, and its taste upon entering the mouth was chilling to the extreme, yet once it reached the stomach, it suddenly ignited a burning, searing sensation.

The point was, Shangguan Zhixing feared that the servants might tell her mother that Shangguan Che had appeared in her room.

"My lord, are you speaking of Li Ru, the chief strategist under the treacherous Dong Zhuo?" Liu Ba asked.

"Then, my two seniors, could you please give me some face? If you must fight, could you go outside to do it?" Long Tianxiang finally asked the pair. If that truly wouldn't work, he would have no choice but to set up a formation for them to fight within.

To prevent unnecessary casualties, the school had specifically arranged for lifeboats, just in case someone suffered a cramp and needed to be fished out.

I don't know what to do. If he were willing to quit smoking and seek treatment at a major hospital, it might be curable; I hear that tuberculosis can be completely cured nowadays, but he simply refuses to go to a major hospital, and no one can persuade him.

"I don't know either, but that’s the reality. Boss, you had better come up and see for yourself." The subordinate, trembling with fear after being roared at by the Hand of God, didn't know what else to say, only insisting that the Hand of God see the situation personally.

Militarily, Zheng Qingying did not send troops to the mainland again. In order to have the Kuomintang help him pin down the main forces of Japan, the country once again supported his establishment of a new expeditionary force.

Rising to a point where I could see various aquatic creatures, I took out the Rhinoceros Horn of Water-Parting to divide the sea and initiated a spatial jump using the Water Escape technique, landing directly in Qian'ao Town. It was just past midnight, and upon returning to the yacht, the lights in the room were still on; Lin Mei had not yet slept.

The Violent One had once personally witnessed White Tiger Young Master use his world-shaking eloquence to single-handedly persuade the Indian nation not to launch a joint attack against China.

Shangguan Zhixing's curiosity was instantly piqued, and she couldn't help but lean in, wanting to see what trick he was playing.

Over the next few days, Zhong Xingyue indeed patrolled and inspected the camp, with Pharmacist Lu following behind her. Whenever they encountered a case, Zhong Xingyue would demonstrate the treatment herself.

Having heard some recent news about the Long family, Zhan Zixian was slightly worried: had this fool perhaps stopped being a fool?

Yun Haotian, thinking of how Yun Chong used to discipline him, raised his leg, intending to grab the person and teach them a lesson, only to have his leg swatted down by Shui Yiren.

At dusk, as the sunset slowly faded, a lingering remnant of light floated above the mountaintops in the west.

Is that so? Yanxiang’s eyes lit up, and in her surprise, her brows arched high. This is truly wonderful. If there is an imperial decree, then Senior Brother cannot be considered to have escaped from the Heavenly Prison.

Lucy’s movements were restricted, causing her to slow down as she snorted loudly through her nose.

Watching the immortal-like man appear, everyone exchanged calm glances. They could sense the undeniable, astonishing charisma and power radiating from him. His natural aura was like high mountains and flowing water, or a secluded valley lake, invisibly exuding a powerful majesty that commanded reverence and an indescribable sense of oppression.

Now, hearing young master Li’s question, the few attendants following him instinctively glanced at the spot where he had been struck.

Everyone present was experienced in the ways of the world, and thus, upon seeing the medicinal pill, they immediately realized its extraordinary nature.

"Is that so? If he knows, he knows; it cannot affect my plans," he said with composure, showing not a hint of worry.

I let out a long sigh of relief. Half of what I had done was a gamble, and the other half was mere posturing. This Jun Qing was blinded by his concern; if he were not so deeply worried about the safety of the flower demon, he would certainly never have made this deal with me.

After personally imprisoning Diao Feng to await trial—and even using his private connections to ensure that her time inside would be absolutely miserable—he hurried to drive to the Ban family residence.

The speaker’s voice was immensely resonant, almost piercing the eardrums, yet the speaker was nowhere to be seen. Qian Fanchen’s heart sank slightly. A feat like this voice-transmission over a thousand miles suggested at least a strong practitioner of the Eternal Realm. He wouldn't say he was afraid, but it would certainly be easy for such a person to crush him like an ant.

The abandoned dormitory building appeared incredibly desolate and gloomy, draped in cobwebs, with the corridors covered in a thick layer of dust.

At this time, the marriage alliance between Yunyue Villa and the Feng family was of immense benefit not only to the Feng family but to Yunyue Villa as well.

His eyes were as brilliant as the stars, and that single glance felt like looking into a bottomless vortex, drawing one in deeper and deeper, unable to extricate oneself.

"Young Mistress, we have arrived." On the bustling street, in front of the Quanjuli Restaurant, the Zhou family’s coachman, Zhao Er, stopped the carriage and spoke respectfully toward the interior.

Yet this sound did not seem intended to harm us. Le Yan was clutching herself, her face, which had previously been expressionless like a machine, now filled with agony. If one listened carefully, her cries contained a hopeless sorrow, and beneath her feet, a pool of water was gradually forming.

Kai Yang, who was driving, was in no better mood. The light music in the car could not dispel his irritation; as he thought about how Jia Yu wanted to escape him, a sense of loss gradually permeated every cell in his body.
