The Lord of the City of Flame Demons, Flame Venerable Demon, was a Battle Venerable among demons. His true form stood a thousand zhang tall. Walls several hundred zhang high were enough to withstand Battle Ancestor demons. But if a Battle Venerable demon invaded, only the city lord himself could hold it back. The walls would be utterly useless.
When Liu Xing had said earlier that someone wanted him dead, she had not quite believed him. After all, over the years, there had been more than one or two people who wanted to kill him, yet none had ever truly managed to reach his side. But tonight was different. If Liu Xing had not been there, he would already have met with disaster.
This question had troubled her for a long time. Xu Ruozhao had avoided answering it then. Yilan remembered being subjected to two inspections when she arrived at Semiba. Before boarding the Fifth Starfleet, she had been thoroughly searched once more. Upon entering the country, she passed through customs robots and was scanned from head to toe again. There was simply no way she could have carried a weapon.
The one who believed in all this least, naturally, was Tai Mang. He had delivered the blow himself and knew its power better than anyone. Forget Roy—even the leader of another church could not have emerged without a single injury.
Zhang Xingba was leading the Imperial Guard around, setting fires everywhere. Had it been deep winter or early spring, a few dozen fire arrows would have been enough to ignite a raging inferno. Unfortunately, it was now almost the turn of spring into summer. The grass and trees had begun to green, making it very difficult to start a forest fire.
These people knew nothing about demons, but Lucy and Ruby did. Before coming to the Fire Dragon Cavern, Dean Lilith had already briefed them. Since demons dwelled inside the cavern, she had naturally described their appearance to the two girls.
Liu Xing’s face was pale. He truly was no match for the Blood Saint Hua Guan. The latter had not even used his full strength, while Liu Xing had already exhausted all of his. The Sword of Jun Xie had been activated once more in his hand. Pouring holy power into it, he unleashed all his strength and cleaved toward this world.
In the end, a young man in Private Room Seven bought it for three million seven hundred thousand gold coins. Only when Liu Xing extended his senses did he discover that the young man in the room was Chen Hao of the Chen family from the Western Lands.
Ye Xuan let out a gasp of amazement, then withdrew his gaze and looked toward the ancient, unadorned temple standing at the very center of the platform.
“All right, everyone, continue with your self-study. Cui Yiyang is a new student, so I hope you’ll all look after him.” Li Min repeated herself once more before turning and walking out.
However, a moment later, weakness surged from the depths of his heart. His powerful profound energy vanished in an instant, leaving his entire face as pale as paper. Zhou Chunfeng’s legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the floor.

Long Fengyue shook his head and solemnly refuted Long Fengyu’s words. He had sensed that something was wrong, but he could not say exactly what it was.
Meanwhile, Xia Nianyue, who had been dazed for a long while, suddenly came to herself. Without the slightest hesitation, she seized the hand of the person before her and bit down hard.
At that moment, Li Dalong was forcing Li Dejin to kneel before the ancestral tablets with his head bowed. He ordered Zhong Zhaogui to close the inner gate, take down the ruler hanging on the wall, and strike Li Dejin across the palms.
Suppressing the grievance in her heart, she hurriedly prepared to leave for Shu Wangyu’s company. Yet, when she reached the parking lot, she encountered someone unexpected.
Yu Tingting drove herself. After leaving the Yu residence, she went straight back to the villa where she lived with Gu Yichen. As usual, only the servants were there; Gu Yichen was nowhere to be seen. Unable to help herself, she called him.
“Hmph, this man really is—he’s driving me crazy!” By then, Leng Caier had already pulled her clothes over herself. Her face beneath the veil was flushed crimson, and she spoke in equal parts embarrassment and irritation.
Those among the crowd who saw it stopped what they were doing and nudged the people beside them, who were still bustling about. The scene fell silent once more.
The Sharp-winged Bird was not an especially advanced species. On the contrary, the sect kept large numbers of them, specifically for its disciples to practice talisman crafting.
Mu Huang saw that everyone was slightly tired, yet in remarkably high spirits, so she took them to the largest tavern in the Ghost Market and treated them to a lavish feast.
Thus, he could be considered one of the gods who communicated most frequently with the many lords. Accordingly, if he raised this question in the Hall of the Gods, it ought to attract the attention of most of the deities. He understood the authority wielded by the lords.
In other words, she was the client, while Zhou Qi was merely the contractor. She had no right to demand anything of An Yijing, even if it was for An Yijing’s own good.

The interrogators who returned to deliver their results were all utterly exhausted, their eyes dull and vacant, each looking thoroughly disheveled. Before Ethan could say anything, they began yawning one after another, found random places, and promptly fell into deep sleep.
“Well, I’d like to see what you can do to me today.” Zhao Qian’s face twisted into a contemptuous smile.
Alhatu was not a particularly clever man, but he was fiercely protective of his family. He genuinely cherished his younger brother and sister, and regardless of what others thought, he did everything in his power to defend them. In the past, he had lacked the ability, and that was one thing. But now that he possessed the strength, he would never again allow anyone to bully them.
Faced with such a spectacle, the first thought that occurred to the knight commander was naturally that Gerard had realized he could not win and was trying to flee. Maintaining his Judgment form, he beat his blazing six wings and immediately gave chase.
This was especially true of major companies such as Qixin Entertainment and Shengshi Entertainment. Their meticulous packaging of their artists was obvious to all. The currently unstoppable IZ, for instance, was managed by Qixin and enjoyed enormous popularity in China, Japan, and throughout Asia.
Xu Jiehong, standing nearby, was startled. Clearly, someone had been waiting at the entrance for quite some time, as though they had known the group would come.
Wherever this powerful surge passed, all the Flame Emperor Jangs on the stage froze in place.
This time, Yun Qi and the others said nothing at all. They obediently took their seats at the table and began eating in an unhurried manner only after Lady Ma had lifted her chopsticks.
When a superior personally came to visit, one naturally had to make a proper show of courtesy. Lanxi hurriedly ordered the maids to arrange refreshments, fruit, and drinks, while she herself welcomed the visitor inside with the grandeur reserved for receiving an empress.
