Chapter 61: Black clouds press down on the city, threatening to crush it (Part 1)

"You used to treat money like dirt and have a zero-tolerance policy for evil, but now you are instigating..." Qin Chuchu's voice was trembling, as if she could not accept the transformation she perceived in him.

This was the spirit beast of the Inner Courtyard Dean, having guarded the gates of Misty Academy for thousands of years, even longer than the Dean himself had been at the institution.

While her hands and feet were indeed bound by Jiang Tingting, Tang Xiling was not someone content with being subjugated; naturally, she was watching for an opportunity to act... especially upon learning that the other party intended to threaten her husband. For the sake of Chen Yaozhong, she was willing to risk everything.

Mi Xiang'er heard every word clearly... It was turning out exactly as Huang Limei had said, with scandalous rumors flying everywhere.

Having finished this, Wu Yue showed no intention of lingering. Donning the spirit-dispersing gloves, he darted into the woods and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

While others might not know Qing He's surname, he was well aware of it. Lord Qing He's secular surname was Li.

She felt that the event organizers were truly pitiful beyond measure for inviting such an unpredictable character to serve as a judge.

Judging by Jing Huaibei's situation, he was not necessarily certain of Huang Hai's next move; rather, he simply did not want his own people defecting to the opposing side. Connecting this with Jing Huaibei's arrival in the capital, Zhang Jialiang had already figured out his intentions.

Ye San had followed Jun Mo the longest. Upon hearing Jun Mo's instructions, his expression shifted, and without a moment's hesitation, he strode directly out of the Zhang residence.

Like the sounding of a battle horn, the members of the Jing and Lu families leaped up simultaneously, charging fiercely toward the guards of the Tian and Kong families.

What was going on? Could this be some sort of trump card left by the Overlord, preventing them from lingering in this region for too long?

Zhao Yuan and the other two were equally delighted. With their troops outfitted with robust warhorses, their combat effectiveness would undoubtedly ascend to a whole new level.

Acquiring the black soil from the previous Star-Desolation warrior had been sheer luck, primarily because that warrior had been preoccupied with other matters and had not yet gotten around to devouring it.

And it was precisely after those words left her lips that, with a clank, the hard hat in Kaxiu's hand dropped to the ground.

Such a spectacle instantly left many people utterly baffled, completely unable to fathom what kind of madness had seized the other party.

"Rest assured, Qinghua Ridge is under my command now. Whatever conditions and demands Twin-Gun Ma has, lay them out!" Fang Hua dispensed with pleasantries and asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"Heh!" Qian Zhougang chuckled. "You have also spent considerable time studying abroad in Japan; are you truly so completely ignorant of it? Have you never looked into their internal connections? My teacher could be considered one of the planners of the invasion of China, while Terauchi Hisaichi is one of its most ardent supporters."

Had he not known he was no match for Lü Tianming, Huangfu Qi would certainly never have mentioned this matter to Huangfu Changming.

These factors alone were not enough to give Xiao He a headache; what truly troubled him were the few leaders standing on the opposite side.

With the surroundings completely encircled by the Sui-Gui Army, the unarmed New Army prisoners, though somewhat chaotic, showed no trace of cowardice. Instead, they watched their surroundings with tense vigilance.

One might say that even if steel production capacity were to triple right now, Chang'an Prefecture could still readily absorb it.

Looking across the entire world, how many aristocratic families could rival the Gu family? How many maidens were truly worthy of Gu Shiting?

However, he could no longer afford to give those people an opportunity to mock them; he had to take Chen Yu out for a proper makeover.

"He used to be a good boy back then, what a pity!" Gu Daoqingyun let out a sigh.

Wang Yanran cursed under her breath. Chen Yu had given her not an ounce of face, especially considering they had been together for a full year.

Normally, quite a few people stumbled into this shopping mall by mistake, and the security guards were not in the habit of chasing people out. After all, they wanted these impoverished folk to thoroughly gaze upon the mall's luxury, planting a seed deep within their hearts.

The immortals naturally sensed that someone had entered the Thousand-Flower Maze Array, yet what they failed to anticipate was that Ning Bugu was among them.

"Fraud, what are you doing? Have you realized there's no saving him and you don't want to keep up the charade anymore?" his uncle sneered. Though he had been frightened just moments earlier, he still refused to acknowledge Chen Yu's strength.

"Yes, that is the vulnerability of the Flicker-Extinction Space." Pisen felt a certain sense of relief as he said this; if his portable, perspective-capable Flicker-Extinction Space had fallen into the hands of aliens, it would have spelled immense trouble.

Parents are all alike; as their children grow increasingly accomplished, they never probe deeply into the reasons behind the improvement, attributing it entirely to the cumulative effect of their years of guidance finally reaching a qualitative leap.

After saying this, Dongfang Yan's eyes revealed a profound exhaustion, giving Dongfang Yuqing the illusion that he had seen through the mortal world.

Zhang Rang and He Jin both attached great importance to Hua An's mission, yet neither trusted the other. Consequently, five hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards and five hundred Feathered Forest Guards were dispatched along with him—first, to protect the physicians on this journey, and second, and more importantly, to obey Hua An's commands and secure Zhang Jiao's head at all costs.

Inside the office, the sound of keyboard clicking echoed sharply. Ye Erruo was wearing a radiation-proof suit, allowing her to work normally for the time being, though people's gazes would occasionally drift in her direction.

Dong Baichuan, however, declared, "They are disciples of my Iron Sword Sect, my descendants and pupils. What does their life or death have to do with you? Liu Wu, our Iron Sword Sect lives and dies together, haha..." At the end, he actually burst into laughter.

Hua An took the hot towel from Zheng Lian'er's hands, wiped his face haphazardly, and tossed it into the wooden basin nearby.

You should be well aware that this nation is diligent and ambitious, yet equally arrogant and conceited. They will have no regard for our dignity; instead, they will view him as a spy cultivated by our country and strike at him without the slightest hesitation.

As a result, Daoist Du'e essentially chose to abandon the defense against the golden flames, allowing them to incinerate his right arm unchecked.

White Impermanence patted my shoulder and said, "I'm going to report for duty. You can stay here for about forty minutes." He then waved at the underworld attendants and led them outside.

Head lowered and biting into his bread, Wu Dao failed to notice Wu Lian'er's unusual demeanor. Giving little thought to her deeply ambiguous remark, he casually replied.

Fortunately, following Situ Yi, there appeared Fairy Xiaoyue, whose innate talent far surpassed even Situ Yi's. In less than a millennium, her cultivation had reached the peak of the Celestial Realm, making her the undisputed second-in-command in the Xuan Sect right after Master Xuanqing—a true rarity in this world.
