“Captain! The image-processing results are in! What just passed through the formation were four mechs!” a soldier reported in astonishment.

Peter, too, gazed at everyone with an unusually earnest look in his eyes. His voice was deep, rich, and utterly sincere.

“Although the Jun and Ji families are in a rather poor situation at present, their ancestors were bound by deep ties. A complete break is impossible. At times, they may even share common goals, which makes their relationship exceedingly complicated.” When Jun Wuyou mentioned the Ji family, he showed intense disgust, mingled with what seemed to be profound helplessness.

This did not escape the notice of Karak, who had been watching his expression closely. A sharp glint flashed through Karak’s eyes, but vanished at once, unnoticed by anyone.

“Proof?” Wasn’t he still asking for proof? That was what everyone was thinking. By now, they were growing somewhat impatient with Ding Yu’s unreasonable behavior, yet Yan Qing still smiled with perfect composure.

“That is filth! They are not new gods at all. They are demons! You are not allowed to disparage Lastili!” Totoori had been lost in thought for a long while before Ye Zi’s cries brought her back to herself. The old man had said something that sent Ye Zi’s emotions into an increasingly unstable state.

“Please, tell me more.” Although Xiao Ming was trading words with Dark Dragon, his right hand gripped a triangular military spike tightly, concealed behind his back in case the killer who threw playing cards launched another surprise attack.

Su Lei looked at his silver-haired father and spoke with deep concern, his expression filled with anxiety.

“Boom!” With a muffled report, a shell burst from the cannon and flew toward the arms dealers several hundred meters away.

I reached out and removed the roast meat clenched between their teeth, completely unconcerned by the searing heat against my injured hand.

Daoist Yichu drifted forward through the air like a fish swimming through water. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the five corpse platforms before him seemed to form a ritual array. Each summit served as an altar. Four had already fallen silent, leaving only the central platform—the main altar—which still held a trace of life and continued to radiate terrifying fluctuations of magical power.

Ordinarily, if these demon beasts saw him, they would bare their teeth and eagerly choose someone to devour. But now, they treated him as though he were completely invisible.

Realizing that it was inappropriate to display such a dejected appearance in front of everyone, Chen Lu steadied himself and adopted an official tone. “Cui Zhen, do you know that a new king is about to arrive?” He was testing him.

The wolf-fang lamp in Sha Dutian’s hand had fallen into the ravine when he lost his footing. From the way it looked, the bottom was more than twenty meters below the cliff edge, yet the lamp illuminated everything there with perfect clarity.

In the haze of drowsiness, Li Jing’er’s eyelids grew heavy, and she fell asleep with her head on the table in the pavilion.

With a thunderous crash, the ancient banyan beside them exploded! Countless fragments and leaves scattered in every direction, yet the two of them remained standing straight, staring fixedly at each other. At last, the two swords collided one final time between them, then fell back beside their feet and plunged upright into the ground.

The Seven Stars Escort Agency still guarded the surrounding towns, just as it always had. Once every half month, it went into the towns to collect its protection fee. None of the towns objected; after all, the agency had driven away countless criminals, allowing the surrounding region to enjoy a measure of peace.

“Young Master, I wonder whether anyone will be able to find the supreme treasure this time?” a wolf-headed demon in sumptuous human attire murmured respectfully with his head bowed.

Something was better than nothing... The paparazzo expressed his gratitude profusely, repeatedly saying that he now knew exactly how he should write and what he should do.

Leng Yue also sensed the intense killing intent emanating from him. She knew that if she wanted to survive, her best option was to choose one at random—which would amount to admitting defeat outright.

After pasting the talisman into place, the Prime Minister of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom slowly let out a long breath. His expression was no longer quite so panicked.

Hongjun often thought that perhaps everything would eventually pass, just like the stars that had shone for billions upon billions of years. Once An Lushan’s rebellion was over, the story of the demon exorcists, too, would ultimately sink into history and dissolve into countless motes of dust.

Suddenly, Hongjun struck Li Jinglong on the back of the neck. Li Jinglong had never imagined that Hongjun would attack him at that moment. A wave of dizziness swept over him, and he collapsed into Hongjun’s arms. Morigen moved to leap down, but Qiu Yongsi raised a hand from the shadows and stopped him.

Hongjun gazed silently at Morigen, tears nearly spilling from his eyes. Morigen merely looked up at him, the corners of his mouth lifting faintly. As the two faced one another, Morigen’s younger brother, Qiluo’er, arrived. Reaching them, he suddenly spoke a sentence in the Shiwei language.

Chaoyun flew halfway around the mountainside. The radiance of the Wisdom Sword in Li Jinglong’s hand never dimmed. When Chaoyun reached the mountaintop, however, the light weakened somewhat.

Wu Hua nodded, then asked Liu Dongmei and Wu Xuan a few questions. Seeing that neither of them was drunk, he finally felt somewhat reassured.

Besides, all of this had been arranged with painstaking effort by Jinqing and Rusu. How could she destroy another person’s intentions? To do so would be an immoral, shameless, and despicable act.

“Director Chen, let’s think of another solution. Perhaps there’s still some other way,” Wu Hua said anxiously. He did not want Chen Kaige to suffer the losses caused by the suspension of the broadcast.
