Chapter 23

What is this "City Lord’s Edict"? And who is this City Lord the man speaks of? Logically, shouldn’t a city like this be governed by the Imperial Court? Why does the concept of a "City Lord" even exist?

Then, Noxus walked straight toward Su Ye with a smile, his voice hearty and clear.

"You are too noisy!" Mu Lingtian said coldly, before walking into the inn with Luo Xue.

They were no fools; they could naturally see that what Long Chen displayed was the "Wrath of the War God," the talent of which the Eastern family was most proud.

Cheers and flattery echoed through the sky. Wang You’an’s expression remained unchanged as he heard them, but he was immensely pleased in his heart.

Initially, Zhu Qi did not know how to increase the power of the Samadhi True Fire, but now he understood: by devouring others who possessed spiritual flames, the power of his Samadhi True Fire could be enhanced.

It didn’t matter; the other living creatures in the forest were none of Wang Zifeng’s concern. He had absolutely no need to worry about their survival.

It wasn’t just the immigrants; even the boatmen who had originally set out from Yizhou were disoriented the moment they stepped ashore. Zhen and Zhao Yushuang, the leaders of the fleet, were both dumbfounded—had Yizhou really changed this much?

Moreover, although he was reluctant, the Chancellor estimated that one night was enough to transport enough supplies to sustain the Supreme City for five days. Five days later, the Centaur Legion would arrive, and that was when the horn of counterattack would sound. Success or failure hinged on this one moment, so bringing more would not be of much use.

In any case, they had no choice but to fight. The Sand Ninja Village was so poor they could barely put food on the table; only war could keep them going.

Actually, Hong Meng didn’t know for sure; he had deduced it. After all, even if the upper echelons of the Hong family were obsessed with saving face—insisting that being a miner for the Green Lotus Sect was a glorious endeavor—the fact that no one dared to speak of it for years, or even decades, suggested it wasn’t just about pride. There had to be a more significant reason.

"Three days from now is the Day of Travelers. We shall depart then," Juugo calculated the dates and said.

After sitting down, Shen Wan noticed no one was paying attention to them and quietly slipped a piece of paper into Xie Jingyan’s hand.

"In the modern world, I could not see love; it was truly like a ghost! Coming to this world, I have seen it. It turns out that love is so wonderful, even more beautiful than the Dao itself!" Wu Fan said.

The soldiers did not retreat. Someone shouted, and the others charged toward Shen Xiu once more.

Chen Nenghui shook his head and said, "Yuwei, as practitioners of medicine, we do not need to prove ourselves to anyone. We validate our own medical path; do not limit yourself to the Sacred Hand medicine of the Sacred Hand Sect. Because we have already left the cage, do you understand?" Ning Yuwei nodded, and then the two descended to the ground, walking forward slowly hand in hand.

The Tiger Demon: "Kuihu." Wu Fan looked closely and saw that the giant tiger was indeed covered in Kui patterns, appearing quite strange and mysterious.

Following Wang Jian’s order, the guards he brought did not hesitate and launched an attack on Shen Xiu.

After filling out the form, Luo Yi left the auction house with the consignment receipt. From then on, all Luo Yi had to do was wait quietly.

At the very least, Lingtian had never truly seen a prodigy use the Will of the Immortal Venerable, for this will was an absolute trump card.

The Wu family staged a masterful performance, pinning the troublesome blame on the Demon Race and successfully helping Su Qiong out of her predicament.

Zhou Weiwei’s interview was somewhat aggressive, constantly looking for faults in Dong Dazhi.

Though the Stone Essence did not look like a creature of flesh and blood, its way of thinking and its speech were more human than that of a real person.

Actually, in the heart of the Earth Dragon, there was a bit of curiosity and anticipation: could this "Lord of the Rankings" really rely on his flesh and blood to kill all ninety-plus people inside, or would he be riddled with holes by them?

"Louder, I can’t hear you." With another vicious, bone-drilling kick, Zeng Wanli, ignoring the trauma to his body, shouted with all his remaining strength: "I heard you!"

Seeing the sudden change in Chen Yuxiu’s expression, which appeared heavy, Dong Dazhi quickly took the newspapers. Upon glancing down, his own face immediately turned somber.

"Bastard!" The powerful entity within the spatial passage sensed the death of Ouyang Bei and flew into a rage, unleashing a wave of overwhelming spiritual consciousness that blanketed the area.

Thinking of this, Mu Feng vanished from the room, arriving at the Feiyu Pawnshop in the next instant. Compared to before, the shop was bustling; the auction had attracted a large number of experts, keeping the staff incredibly busy.

These four characters were written only after much agonizing thought. After all, in today's society, you cannot simply write "Divination and Fortune Telling" on a door sign; that would attract the city inspectors.

He walked to the window, and through the Great Dao Truths of the five Ancient Ones, he had already discovered his greatest enemy in this life.

Perhaps he would have to find a way to persuade the family, or at least his own branch, to reach a strategic cooperation with the Sage Paro’s Legion and attempt to introduce "Construct" technology.

Cultivation talent meant nothing; in the Central World, there were plenty of geniuses born as immortals.

The Heart Demon phantom transformed into the likeness of Jia Ren, burning with five-colored phoenix flames, and glared at the newcomer with resentment.

Yin Zhuzhi was not strong, but he possessed a unique skill for refining baleful stars, which ordinary Great Luo could not resist.

Zhao Jun was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it, although Xia Song was flattering him, the flattery was not entirely misplaced.

Once he acknowledged the "Heavenly Mandate" mentioned by Guang Chengzi, the rejuvenated Great Invoker would receive the news within half a day at the latest.

It was a color like bronze covered in a gray mist—a color so strange and unsettling.

Song Qingchuan, in a fit of rage, taught the He family a lesson. Mrs. He went to cause trouble for Qiao Shinian, and the incident was captured and posted online.

The barrier of Lin Yuan City crystallized, the crystal walls turning a purplish hue, and the defensive power of the barrier increased several-fold.

It was not just Noxus; Demacia had also begun pre-war mobilization. In a very short time, Demacia had endured a massive impact. Having just experienced the return of the Archangel Kayle, they were immediately faced with an assault from the Void.
