Chen Qing was just about to ask what was going on when a tremendous boom suddenly erupted beside her ears, leaving them ringing.

The ground began to tremble. From the large mound beside them, covered in ginseng plants steeped in sinister energy, a column of black smoke suddenly shot into the sky.

The moment the black smoke appeared, the sinister ginseng plants seemed to be coated in fluorescent paint, giving off a faint blue glow. Chen Qing's eyes lit up at the sight.

“No wonder the Mass Grave is full of such strange and unusual things. So there was a powerful ghost hidden here, protecting them all this time!”

Chen Qing spoke in a low voice.

“Boom!”

At that moment, the mound exploded. A gigantic shadow crawled out from within, its pair of oily green eyes fixed coldly on Chen Qing and—

Just then, standing inside the enormous maw of the Chaotic Nether Demon was an old man. He looked over in astonishment. It was none other than the elder who had once tricked Chen Feng into traveling to the Immortal King Star Domain.

“I know. The Black Kunpeng was a mighty powerhouse of the Origin Era. Once the seal is undone and his bloodline is fully awakened, he’ll reach an extraordinarily high level—at least seventy or eighty percent of his peak strength,” Lin Qi said, drawing a deep breath.

“That’s none of your concern. When the time comes, our leader will come personally and explain everything to you. As for whether bringing back a vegetative patient is useful or not...” The other man smiled maliciously, as if Qin Qingchen’s question were absurdly laughable.

Ling Feng looked toward Wasteland Rope Island behind him. It had already sunk into a sea of flames, while the aircraft carrier had been blasted apart and sent beneath the waves.

After hearing what the Qin siblings had said, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He was no saint, but Qin Kai had helped him so much and had always shown true loyalty. He could not bring himself to commit such a treacherous act.

“A sense of familiarity? How could I have felt familiar with you when this is the first time I’ve seen you? Are you kidding me?” Qiu Yue said.

“She is my subordinate.” Yan Jun gave Xia Zheting such an upright and proper explanation that he could find no way to refute it.

Originally, Xingyu had also planned to stay and look after Dai Dong. But halfway through, her poor mental state nearly caused her to faint. Under Dai Dong and Su Xiuyue’s repeated insistence, Xingyu reluctantly returned home.

Gu Yu arrived at the place where he attended class, only to find that the lesson had already begun. After calling out an apology at the door, he dashed straight to the back of the classroom.

Only someone with knowledge of magic arts could withstand the River Earl. Whether his own shoulders could bear the burden or not, he had no choice but to stake everything on it.

She placed the box on the dining table and opened it, taking out a diamond necklace crafted with utterly extravagant luxury.

Liu Shi quickly had Xiang Huan prepare an ordinary carriage of the sort normally used by servants. She quietly left the residence, afraid that anyone might learn where she was going.

Ji You’s expression finally changed. He was certain that he had held nothing back, yet he had gained not the slightest advantage. This meant that even if Yan Bei had not become a Divine Emperor, he could still fight opponents of higher cultivation just as he had before.

The hotel was not especially tall, but it covered a vast area. It had everything from a swimming pool to sports grounds, and outside there was even a large golf course carpeted in green grass. The scenery was pleasant, though the darkness made it difficult to see clearly.

“All right, all right! We’ll set out at once!” Ansi and the others were still caught up in their recent shock. Only after hearing his order did they come to their senses, immediately turning the ship around and sailing back in the direction they had come from.

“I don’t know who he really is. I only know that he’s incredibly powerful!” Mo Qianyuan drew a deep breath.

“Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you all doing here? Why has everyone come?” Seeing the huge crowd of villagers gathered at the entrance to the village, Chen Maocai instinctively rubbed his eyes. After confirming that he was not mistaken, he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted toward them.

She was inwardly unwilling in a thousand different ways, but with Zhou Rui present, she was too embarrassed to say so openly. With his advice, she finally selected a dance.

Just then, a rapid pounding sound came from outside—bang, bang, bang. Clearly, someone was striking the gate.

“Our troops are highly trained. Victory in this battle is assured. Don’t believe me? My friends, look at those pitiful Armenians over there!” Apis smiled proudly and pointed in another direction. His attendants raised their hands to shade their eyes and looked over.

Lu Su bowed for a long while, yet did not hear a single word from Pang Shanmin. When he raised his head, he saw Pang Shanmin deep in thought and could not help giving a light cough.

“Listen carefully. You must remain confined in the dungeons of Tulianum for now. Only after roughly one market day will the truth of everything finally be made clear,” Dilos said in a low voice.

Then the human shield collapsed with a crash. Karabis sprang in from the side and drove his sword into another man’s soft abdomen. He yanked it free at once, then dropped to one knee and swept the blade horizontally, slicing through another man’s lower arm. The severed limb flew high into the setting sun.

“Centurion Hebrida, Centurion Uteris, I am willing to go and see Adiana. After all, I once served her for some time. I beg you—do not execute the hostage yet. Let me try once more!” Karabis leaped down from the carriage and walked up to Hebrida.

At dawn the following day, Liu Bei was summoned by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu handed him a letter and ordered him to open it and read it.

These people would open a shop in the capital and use it as a base to provide all kinds of support for Mao Family Village. Of course, once the factory in Mao Family Village began operating properly, this would also become the primary sales outlet for the self-ringing clocks.

Magu wore a long, floor-sweeping gown of finely woven brocade, its moon-white fabric embroidered with brilliant crimson flowers. The red blossoms against her jade-like skin dazzled Shi Qing until his eyes blurred.

After the Lutes were dispersed, they were assigned to various camps as menial laborers. Following the defeat at Zhuyang, the Great Wei forces from every camp gathered at the central command post, sending all the laborers instead to the Fuyang River camp. The Lutes were thus reunited, and Lute Kang came up with this proposal.

Xu Chu relied solely on his immense physical strength, whereas Huang Zhong excelled at using deft, controlled force. After only a few exchanges, Xu Chu felt a chill in his heart and thought grimly that the old soldier’s strength was astonishing—surpassing even Ma Chao’s.

I shook my head firmly and told him that the Thunder-Struck Ghost Clapping Hands was mentioned not only in the Ghost Spirit Arts, but also recorded in the Taoist scriptures of the Three Pure Ones. It could truly be called a heavenly spirit and earthly treasure, a sacred relic of the arcane sects.

They had witnessed every perilous moment within the formation, and their admiration for the valor of General Pei Feng had risen to an entirely new level.

Cang Lan’s gaze fell upon that piece of calligraphy. She froze for a moment, then could not help pressing her lips together in a smile.

Jingzhou was Liu Bei’s vital base and could not afford the slightest mishap. Though everything appeared calm on the surface, who knew whether Cao Wei and Eastern Wu were plotting schemes in secret?

When the butcher left, his retreating figure appeared deeply tragic, evoking an indescribable feeling that left everyone sighing with sorrow.

She actually had very little to pack. She took only a few changes of underwear and one or two pairs of relatively understated jeans with some T-shirts. Since she was leaving, there was no need to take the beautiful clothes the Xiao family had once bought for her. From now on, those things would no longer suit her.
