Volume 1, Chapter 26: Laying Bare One's Heart

Before the movie began, Mu Shaotian and Liang Xia had come over to greet them. Ye Li felt that the way Liang Xia looked at her was strange; she couldn't quite name the feeling—it was a mix of scrutiny, pity, and something else she couldn't identify. She could only turn her head to look at Qin Lang, seeking help.

Now that the Entity had taken residence within Superman, the two had become physically and mentally fused. Thus, when the Black Lantern Martian Manhunter crashed into Superman's mental world, he was met by the Entity residing within.

Before long, Xiao Yi arrived at the so-called entrance. To his surprise, it was a pitch-black cave, bottomless at a glance. Had he not seen several adventurers leaping into it from time to time, Xiao Yi would never have believed this was the entrance to the second level of the Ancient Tomb of the King of Yan.

She was curious that Baili Liangdou had made his decision after only a few glances without wasting any time, so she casually voiced her skepticism.

The kidnapping was carried out in the name of benevolence, so the fact that he, the reserve Emperor, was being scolded for it was to be expected.

Bai Feng’s requirement for the Westminster Chamber of Commerce was to establish at least three supply storage bases in every imperial province. Of these three, two were to store mountains of grain and provisions, and one was to store enough weapons and equipment to arm five thousand men.

Those soldiers and warhorses made from soybeans were invulnerable and fearless, charging toward Su Ji like a tidal wave.

On the other side, the Teen Titans moved quickly. Nightwing drifted his sleek, bat-like motorcycle to intercept a fleeing superhuman, striking the opponent's temple with his custom staff with just the right amount of force, causing the man to collapse in a heap.

There was no blood on Qin Lang; he was perfectly clean. Ye Li held him as they sat in the car. The driver and the butler were locals who had gone to find a doctor, but it seemed they had been gone for a long time without returning.

"When I find the chance, I will surely kill her," Ji Gongcheng said, his brows knitted tightly together.

The State of Zheng lay in the heart of the Nine Provinces, bordering the State of Qi to the east and Haojing to the west. If the State of Qin were to send troops to fight the Eastern Yi, they would inevitably have to pass through Zheng. Therefore, the State of Zheng could never fall into the hands of others; this was a necessity regardless of the cost.

It was unclear whether the Nine-Thunder Beast had done so intentionally or simply forgotten, but it truly stopped pursuing Lu Liang and his group. Meanwhile, the Nine-Thunder Beast no longer attacked those still wandering the outskirts of the mountains. In the end, it was only Chen Zhi and the others who were truly unlucky.

"Whoever dares to touch her, I will send them to hell right now," Long Qianjue roared. A flash of black light from his hand swept across the necks of Qian Xiuxiu and Xi'er; before anyone could react, the two had already fallen to the ground, dead.

The first round consisted of a competition among the extended family members, with forty people vying for the top ten spots. Only then would the competition among direct lineage members take place. The top ten from the extended family would eventually join the top thirty from the direct line to compete for the top three spots and the championship.

Qin Ke smiled and shook his head, declining Wu Qi’s kindness. He pulled himself up with some effort by grasping the tree trunk beside him and stepped onto the slope covered in fallen leaves.

Li Yunqi and the others present had long known that so-called filler materials would be sent over, but they hadn't expected so many people to accompany them. The clearing was not very large, so they had to move aside to make space for the newcomers.

"Old Hong, take your wife to see God," Pan Chen muttered, his eyes wide.

The warm sun shining on his body could not dispel the chill radiating from his cold gaze.

Anxious, I didn't answer his questions but instead told him about the Yuan princess I had encountered while she was scouting our military intelligence, and I handed him the letter I had confiscated from Nuomin.

Mo Chen and his group of four followed the crowded flow of people on the street toward the Shiyun Auction House.

I was terrified of taking a wrong step, so I counted with every stride, my nerves stretched to the limit.

Tonight’s banquet was no ordinary affair. Those attending were people with ties to Mr. Jin, all titans of the business world. He wanted to use this opportunity to let everyone know about his relationship with Lin Xi.

Because Lin Wanzhong's tombstone and grave had vanished, all signs pointed to Tang Zhan. Yet, at this very moment, Tang Zhan arrived with gifts, leaving him uncertain whether his deduction was correct.

His face flushed red as he let out a series of heart-wrenching roars. From a distance, one could hear the continuous bellowing echoing through the mountains, startling the nearby birds and sending them flapping away in flight.

Though she tried hard to keep her eyes open and endure the churning in her stomach, her consciousness began to slip into chaos.

Although they did not know Tang Hao, they had at least heard the name "Boss Tang."

"What's wrong? No patience after just a little time? Where else can you find a life where you wait while watching a show?" Er Guzi cursed.

The weasel brought me back home. It happened to be the night of the full moon, so he didn't delay. In the center of the courtyard, where the moonlight could reach, he used chicken blood mixed with glutinous rice water to draw a red talisman. I couldn't understand what it was, but I could feel the faint, ominous yin energy emanating from it.

When the students in the classroom heard the news, their first reaction was shock, but as they pondered it, they felt it lacked credibility and began to suspect that Zhen Shanmei was lying.

At this moment, Murong Wan had become even weaker, and her cultivation had plummeted to the peak of the Void Realm within this month.

Outside, the armies of Li Yuan and Li Yingtu surrounded them, ten thousand strong, ring after ring.
