Despite some bargaining, Zhou Hongyun remained calm and steady, refusing to yield easily. Left with no choice, the envoys from the Four Great Sacred Grounds had to agree to his terms.

His nervousness did not stem from fear that Gu Yi would die at the hands of the goblin. While the two psychics were not exceptionally powerful, they wouldn't be easily killed by a single creature, and judging by the footprints, there was only one. What Nan Yao feared more was stumbling into a goblin’s den; such an event would likely trigger a massive battle and once again draw the attention of the griffins.

However, Yi Qiu did not know what rank Xichang held among legendary creatures. Although it appeared fierce, it seemed to be in a weakened state, having only just broken free from its seal.

After discussing this matter, Zhou Fangyuan finally decided to leave, and Lin Yueya had to return to school as well.

Human beings are like this—let me teach you a way to identify it: when people are making excuses for their mistakes, they habitually perform certain reflexive actions. This is definitely not nonsense; it is just that some are obvious, while others are subtle.

Emma had set the time for the weekend in three days. Although Yi Qiu did not quite understand the significance of the weekend to them, he felt no need to rush.

The core of NetEase is and remains its portal. It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but for now, the portal is the absolute core.

Mount Sumeru, nine million zhang tall, emitted a brilliant golden light, appearing holy beyond measure. This was a sacred site of Buddhism, and countless Buddhist disciples prostrated themselves at the foot of the mountain in worship.

Gu Yi’s gun had already fired, blasting away the first few parasitic beasts that climbed up. More beasts, unable to scale the wall, were blocked behind the corner of the stairs by the fire burning the carcasses. Before the fire died out, it was unlikely that large numbers of them could rush up.

An Ge felt a sense of anxiety. It was clear that Chong Yuan was approaching a breaking point. It was not that she worried for his life, but rather that she did not want to be someone who gave up when they were ninety percent of the way to the finish line. Though she knew Chong Yuan had yet to reveal his trump cards, a shift in her state of mind was inevitable.

Tonight’s live show was simple, continuing the "live broadcast" plot from Monday, with the competition structure largely the same as the Monday Night Raw.

At this, the old man was not just surprised; he was moved. A manual for alchemists that could facilitate advancement, reaching Earth or Heaven tiers, was an invaluable treasure and a fatal temptation for any alchemist.

As for the other cultivators, they stared blankly at Ye Tian, none of them speaking, their breathing growing slightly more rapid.

In the urgent situation, Liu Zixuan could not afford to worry about anything else; he could only let Zhao Yi take Gu Yu and the others away first. If Sect Master Quan truly realized what was happening, every extra minute of delay would bring significantly more danger.

Though he was extremely reluctant to believe it, Ao Fang had to admit that it would not be so easy to harm Mu Chen anymore.

The chasm extended forward, and even the stone walls of the valley could not stop its path, as they were split in two by that invisible force.

While holding Shen Yue, she could not see Di Xiuhan’s expression. His dark eyes were churning; any normal person would be astonished to hear such a bizarre tale.

Afterward, the ugly toad croaked twice and then went silent. At that time, Liu Zixuan did not think much of it, as he was already severely wounded and only wanted to return to the shore to rest.

"Damn it!" Upon learning the truth, Yu Yifeng clutched his head, nearly pulling out a handful of hair.

Charlotte placed the crown on Li Tianze’s head. In this moment, Li Tianze truly became the King of E.

"I..." Su Bingyun opened her mouth to say something, wishing to explain. It was truly not worth it for such a charming person to be this heartbroken over that man, but love is selfish. If I explain the mistake of that night clearly and she intervenes again, wouldn't I find it even harder to enter his heart?

There was not much land naturally near the tributaries. Han Qi knew about the scope of the northern agricultural water conservancy project that Ye Qingchen had initiated. He hadn't thought much of it at the time, but now, while developing Lingzhou, he easily recalled it.

"Returning to the Duke, I agree with Earl Jini’s point of view. Now is not the best time to dispatch troops; we need to wait patiently and prepare for the final victory," Bishop Rusade said after a moment of contemplation, looking at Ander.

"It doesn't matter. Since everyone has arrived, I shall set off for the Demon Ruins!" King Ye waved his hand.

Therefore, Liu Lang’s focus was on how to capture the Jingxing county seat in the best way, rather than whether it could be captured at all.

Ye Haoxuan was still there asking questions. After a while, he suddenly felt something strange under his feet. He looked down and—good heavens—a living person was lying face down on the ground, and he had stepped right on the man’s shoulder, preventing him from getting up.

How could I have forgotten this? Chang Ge sighed to herself. In the game, the Holy War was a PvP-focused instance similar to the Brawl of Silver City. However, unlike the Brawl, the Holy War was not fought by individual players, but by factions—a PK between the Navy Guild and the Pirate Guild.

"Drogo, Humphrey, so it was you two who refused to listen to my advice, blinded by greed, and incited your brother to charge into the enemy’s trap, yet you still do not repent."

When the young Oscar-winning actor in front of him so casually told him that he was confirmed to be the lead in this upcoming romance film, and that all he had to do was wait for the start date, it was truly hard to believe.
