Chapter 56

"Alright, go on then." Director Yang waved his hand to dismiss them, then walked over to his compartment to go to sleep.

"I'll take good care of Index!" Kanzaki Kaori said, looking with the tenderness of a mother at Index, who was currently fighting Last Order for food.

Zhou Bingbing launched into a frenzy of shopping mode, while Meng Hailong found an empty spot, sat down, and began to ponder deeply.

"Ten adventurers marched for a meal; one choked with no rescue available, leaving nine out of ten."

This time, the vital essence of seventeen thousand people had been absorbed, and after purification, it completely filled a full bottle. This new type of life-recovery potion was a novel product infused with that vital essence.

Noticing William, who distinctly stood out from the surrounding orcs, Xu Wanheng pulled him straight up into the air, opened a spatial gateway to send him away, and concurrently returned the brave warriors who were still battling orcs elsewhere back to the Tree Realm.

In terms of popularity, it should be Wen Chuliu and Bamboo God, Jin Yun and Jun Yiru, and Qingfeng and Zhan Bu.

However, Bao Tian immediately stomped down on his crown, nearly knocking Long Aotian's snot flying out.

"Grandpa, you knew full well that Mom was plotting this, so why did you still let me bring Zhang Wei along?" Shu Ye asked, confusion written all over his face.

Perhaps a hundred thousand catties meant nothing to him, but a million catties truly pushed his physical body to its absolute limit at the moment. Had he not been able to channel his magical power to assist, Bao Tian could never have flown away while carrying this massive iron pillar.

By this point, he was essentially certain that the sea crab had lost nine times out of ten. For a crab living in the ocean, the fat content could never possibly reach this level.

"Sigh! Fourth sister, saying things like that distances us. After all, we're all our own people, and I believe Eldest Brother wouldn't do such a thing," the third brother interjected.

Whether it existed or not, as someone born and raised on this island, whatever else he might lack, he certainly understood this matter better than the so-called experts.

Zhang Fu put the card away into his card case, which served as his exclusive item. Even if others happened to find it, it would be extremely difficult for them to use.

The scenes depicted were of Ultraman Ace battling the Zarab Seijun and Ultraman Leo fighting the Alien Kali.

Two more bizarre events were recounted by the town's people, both deeply strange, and the finger of suspicion pointed directly at the Qian family's ancestral grave.

Ye Yurou frantically twisted her neck in an attempt to resist, but her intense struggle only elicited an excited deepening of the kiss from Fang Zijie.

I immediately employed the Eye of Brilliance technique, which finally allowed me to see Song Suying's true appearance. It turned out that her face was merely adhered on, with a fine crack visible along the edges.

Up until now, the naval forces basically set sail from here, tasked with cracking down on the pirates entrenched in the East Sea and around Japan.

As officials, they held deep contempt for those imperial clan princes who threw their weight around and acted as tyrants in the localities.

Yet no sooner had they emerged from Turtle Island than they unluckily discovered a cultivator brutally slaughtering those who had fled the island. The cultivator's strength was so formidable that foundation-establishment disciples like them stood no chance of resisting.

"Hmph!" Zhang Zhiping's clone reluctantly accepted Gu Jianyi's explanation, knowing that this was no time to lose his temper. He immediately forced himself to calm down, while Yue Wuying beside him also wore a displeased expression, her attitude toward Gu Jianyi growing even colder as she silently focused all her energy on piloting the flying shuttle forward at top speed.

Seeing everyone staring at him with burning gazes, Zhang Zhiping hurriedly swallowed it down, causing a trace of regret to flash in their eyes. What they did not know, however, was that Shiyuan could not bear to waste it; he immediately used his magical power to encase and preserve it, saving it to be used at a critical moment in the future.

Chen Youting had specifically called Guan Xiaojun to tell him to mentally prepare himself for a scolding, purely out of concern for this very outcome.

"Understood!" everyone answered in unison. Following that, the company commanders and other basic officers who had been surrounding the area dispersed instantly. With their departure, the two Han military units—which had previously maintained subtle distinctions—rapidly began to merge into one, and the massive army surged into motion the very next moment.

He utterly despised such sordid affairs. True to his temper, his first instinct was to grab these street performers and give them a sound beating.

Things having reached this juncture, continuing to make a fuss was truly pointless. Unless he was genuinely willing to die here, his only option was to leave. When a wicked person encounters someone even more unscrupulous than themselves, they have no choice but to concede defeat.

Yet during his first two years as a teacher, his pedagogical skills had been abysmal to the extreme. To be blunt, they were inferior to those of many of his own students.

In her anxiety, Wu Hanmei disguised her voice to sound like the mating call of an alley cat, and the person outside the door left without asking any further questions.

"Good then, apologies for the intrusion." Liang Zian and Wang Nan's eyes lit up at the prospect of meeting the principal figure. The events that had transpired at the courtyard plaza three days ago had already spread throughout Qingyang Academy—the Five Giants and the Three Camps were unprecedented occurrences. As the head of the Verdant Nine Squad, Mu Sen had already become a legendary figure in the eyes of many students.

"The city gate captain invites General Meng to the South Gate; someone claiming to be Liu Xichuan wishes to see the General," a voice answered from outside.

Zhang Zheng promptly shut his mouth, but that single remark had already caused Li Chao to turn his head back. He took the menu and began to review it, but after a short moment, Li Chao frowned, gently placed the menu back on the table, stopped crossing his legs, and sat up straight to look at the server.

At that moment, amidst the gradually starlit dusk, the captain of the guards held the reins and whip, his gaze sharp and piercing, watching the path ahead vigilantly like a solitary prowling wolf.

Suddenly, a flash of purple light crossed her eyes, and the "Netherworld" treasured sword she carried unsheathed itself, leaping before her with a ringing clang.

Hearing Chen Xian's somewhat helpless explanation, Shen Qiu's round eyes widened even further.

Yijue said nothing, instead pulling her into his embrace before silently fleeing in the opposite direction.

Zhan Mo saw Zhao Yi staring intently at him, followed by a glare of fury. He felt that Zhao Yi was utterly bewitched by Wang Yuyan, completely contradicting what he had said the night before: that once Wang Yuancheng finished lying, everyone would band together to kill this old fox. Enraged, he flung his wine cup down and stormed angrily out of the council hall.

Xian'er sweetly thanked grandpa and grandma, her voice so delightful that it felt as sweet as honey melting in the hearts of these old men and women.

He abruptly glanced behind him, and seeing only pitch darkness, he could not help but exhale a breath of relief, then gritted his teeth and made his way toward the stairs.
