Chapter 34

His slender frame was perfectly enveloped by impeccably tailored attire. His chiseled, profound features, usually marked by a sense of cold detachment, now bore a faint, repressed anger.

Relatively speaking, the other factions faced the same situation; while dispatching massive armies to Yingzhou, they were also required to send Semi-Ancestral realm powerhouses to stabilize the morale of their troops.

When he heard the Blood Night Demon Lord claim that their opponent was the Yiling Old Demon, he could hardly believe his ears.

Hundreds of high-intensity maneuvers caused Mu Fan’s skin to vent heat mixed with the scent of blood.

Based on his understanding of Daoist Duobao, although this fellow possessed decent strength, he surely knew that compared to him, he was nothing more than a grasshopper.

It is human nature to treat others as one wishes to be treated. Flight attendants are kind to passengers, and naturally, they hope the passengers will reciprocate that kindness by addressing them by their surnames.

In high spirits, Zhou Qingfeng laughed wildly. He sent Rachel and Angie through the spacetime portal, then returned to the surface with the Enclave personnel in the information hall who had ceased all resistance.

This was the origin of the two "bodyguards" by his side—two veterans who had stood the test of time, whom Tian Xin deemed steady and reliable, and had brought with her to Shuangqing.

Mu Tie was immediately struck speechless. He opened his mouth, but ultimately closed it honestly and signaled his entourage to return to the spacecraft.

Then, before the terrified eyes of the white-haired man, the remaining half of the freak, who had previously seemed completely unkillable, vanished into the air at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The collection, scheduling, and transport of grain and fodder shall be handled by Brother Jingcheng. The memorial submitted by General Xuanwu did not specify the size of the bandit forces, nor whether we need to send a detachment of reinforcements," Liu Qian said, rubbing his slightly reddened eyes as he looked at Grand Chancellor Shi and Li Jingcheng before him.

Under the protection of Yan Xing, Xu Shu led five thousand troops out of Hangu Pass to the west, arriving at Youfufeng. After receiving the imperial decree, Zhao Yun prepared his men to take over defense duties from Huang Zhong. Since Lü Bu was coming from Shuofang Commandery, it would take some time, and Xu Shu had to wait. Yan Xing, being a young man, could not contain his impatience and snuck off to see Ma.

The Ox-Eyed Lad was about to lash out. This was the Marquis’s residence; it was not a place for just anyone to run wild. If the Marquis had truly committed illegal acts, there should be an imperial edict to summon him; they should not be treated so rudely.

Tang Wannian turned his worry into joy and shouted to the guards at the tent entrance: "Men! Convey my order: assemble all troops, strike camp immediately, and follow me back to Pingzhou to defend the throne and save the Emperor!"

Master Hu would not give a direct refusal; swaying with the wind was the hallmark of such men. He was testing the waters with the Jiang Garden to see how other wealthy merchants were responding. If others contributed, he would no longer insist on his stance.

"Scoundrel!" Wei Banti was furious. She continued, "Let Dominique lead the main force back; I will personally lead my own troops to fight Roenthal in a decisive battle!" Her gaze told others that no further dissent would be tolerated.

She was sent to a palace named Wangchen Pavilion. This palace had long been swept clean, as if it had been waiting only for her arrival.

"I am naturally concerned about my own affairs. Even if not for myself, for you and the child in your womb, I would be very concerned," Ji Wuqing promised solemnly.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Hongyi led three thousand soldiers through the "Road to the Underworld" and quickly laid in ambush in the mountains and forests. When the night was at its deepest and everyone was at their sleepiest, Li Hongyi gave the order, and they launched their attack. Suddenly, thousands of men surged from Nanshan, catching the Xiou off guard.

"What are you thinking about?" Perhaps I was too sensitive, jumping straight to negative conclusions.

When Jiang Ciyun and I returned to the seaside room, the damaged door had been repaired. It was half-open, and we walked in one after the other.

The sound of shattering armor echoed incessantly. The black-clad warrior was sent flying over six meters away, and a damage number exceeding 25,000 flashed above its head.

After arranging matters for Skye and Matt, a weight was lifted from Zhang Taibai's heart.

"Don't worry, I will be by your side. At the very worst, we can just start over. Your father was able to do it back then, and I believe you can too," I said hastily.

Didn't he say he hated Shen Ziyan? Didn't he say he refused to appear anywhere with her? Didn't he say Shen Ziyan was our common enemy? Didn't he say he was so repulsed by the engagement to her?

"If we can make it back alive, I'll cook for you." I knew he was comforting me, and I said with a heavy heart.

Or, if he captured Qiu Ming, the elders of the other party's sect might attack him without asking for reasons, or they might attack him knowing he had killed Qiu Ming—in either case, he would have the capital to resist.

Seeing this, Jin Yan gave me a look to suggest we go outside to talk. We told them we were going to buy something and walked out the door.

"Alright, there’s no need for polite words. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first. You shouldn't have any trouble handling things here, right?" Zhang Taibai asked.

The sliding door did not reveal the fixed chairs or luxurious box-like layout that the two had imagined.

But there would always be those who viewed this tragic event as a means to manipulate and win over public opinion.

In utter desperation, Cromwell, who was in charge of the Irish campaign, began to shift from offense to defense. He could only hope that the Spaniards lacked the courage to push deep into the Irish interior. Moreover, no matter what, the Huamei Navy could not possibly come ashore.

Watching the hand grenades being sold off, Ding Yi secretly tugged at Shi Heng and Sun Tang. After the preoccupied Minister Yu hurried away, Ding Yi continued his arms exhibition, though the venue moved from the Wanggong Factory to Sun Tang’s camp. This time, he brought out one-piece molded breastplates.

While the fifty masked assassins opposite were looking at each other, trying to track Ye Zhen’s movements, the shrill sound of a bamboo whistle and the glare of alarm signals burst forth over the street once more.

The sharp rocks on the ground and ceiling of the cave suddenly seemed to come alive, extending rapidly to pierce the three of them.

And the one who performed the greatest service for the spread of Catholicism during the entire process of Western learning entering the East was Matteo Ricci, who successfully won over that shining gem, Xu Guangqi, with his scholarship.

As soon as Uchiha Itachi’s words fell, the Ten-Tails arrived before the two and swiped down with its palm.
