52nd Iron Pillar

So much so that when the exalted personage handed the gold coin to the man, he was first in a daze, followed by an all-consuming, bone-deep terror.

Though she was ingratiating herself, it was met only with a light hum of disdain from her senior sister, yet Ling Shan remained all smiles and utterly unbothered.

As the hour of Hai approached, Wang Guichang had already replenished the lamp oil in the hall three times; it was somewhat dim, but still reasonably bright.

Even so, not only could Li Yunsheng not dodge, but he also had to continuously repair the soul net and keep fending off the attacks of the dark shadow.

Originally, Tianlong thought Elder Yan would take him to some kind of alchemy room or similar place, but unexpectedly, after the time it took to burn a stick of incense, he was led to the entrance of the grand hall where he had previously met the sect master.

Then, without a doubt, the fire demon must be inside this cave. Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to go in and investigate. After all, he had already made a promise to the villagers; words spoken were like spilled water, and a promise given must surely be fulfilled.

To better enjoy the rare quality time alone together, Chen Lingxi intended to cook personally and showcase her culinary skills by preparing dinner for Han Hao.

After repeating this a dozen times or so, the female mage finally stopped running. She had finally realized that her abilities were completely countered by this cloaked hero before her.

Immediately, dozens of people walked in carrying fruits, vegetables, and spiritual nectar. In the blink of an eye, the six-foot-wide table was completely covered, and then they filed out one by one with utmost reverence.

Although Director Sun was immensely pleased with himself, he also knew that Song Duanwu was only being so amiable toward him out of regard for his current position. Clearly, this Director Sun was not someone completely devoid of self-awareness.

"Then I must ask the Beast King to impart some knowledge regarding the Domain Formulas. This junior would be immensely grateful," Xiao Yan pleaded to the Beast King.

These people were frightened into scattering in all directions. To them, Xiao Yan was like a grim reaper of death; whoever dared to cross him would surely die.

"Hahaha, pirates will always be pirates. Even if you put on a dragon robe, you won't look like a crown prince! Men! Ye Feng, Cao Tianquan, and the others have colluded with pirates. Take them down!" Luo Pingwei's face darkened as he shouted sternly.

"Only through a hidden dark heart can blessings be restored; with every thought raised, know that ghosts and gods are watching." Gao Gong blushed slightly, pondered for a long time, and then shook his head in bewilderment.

She did not say a word, only sat quietly with her eyelashes drooping, quietly enduring the destiny that belonged to her.

Yanhong smiled coldly: "How could you bear to let such wonderful zither music go forever unappreciated? Don't tell me you can also play this pipa." As her voice trailed off, she had already drifted gracefully into the distance.

The giant Vermilion Bird flew to the horizon and then swept across the demons' skies like a bomber. Wherever it passed, a rain of fire fell across the heavens.

Later, Nie Rong, the elder sister of Nie Zheng, heard that an assassin had murdered the Prime Minister of Han and had his corpse exposed on the streets. Suspecting it might be her younger brother Nie Zheng, Nie Rong immediately set off for the State of Han to investigate the truth.

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, but then recalling the polite pleasantries the two had exchanged in the past, he could not help feeling a bit awkward. After so many years, the emperor still remembered a casual remark, making it seem as though Xiao Yan was at fault.

The cultivation base of the uncanny youth was far from weak—a mid-stage Martial Spirit. Coupled with his identity as the young master of a central clan, he undoubtedly possessed formidable trump cards. Under the suppression of his powerful cultivation combined with unpredictable mysterious trump cards, and with Ye Feng still carrying injuries, defeating the uncanny youth would likely prove extremely difficult.

A miserable screech burst from the armored rhinoceros, which shook its massive body like a mad beast.

"The sun, moon, stars, and the floating earth are all pieces on this chessboard, and their movements follow the paths laid out on the board. But as for stones dropped haphazardly into the chessboard, where is one to track their traces?" The old Daoist sighed aloud, his long beard fluttering, exuding an immortal and transcendent aura.

Seeing Ye Feng stammering and completely clueless when questioned, Yu Fengwu truly grew somewhat angry, shouting loudly: "You are the one who brought Sisi back, how can you not know?" Her ringing voice caused the many disciples who had not yet dispersed to cast sidelong glances, looking over in this direction one after another.

Everyone drank to their hearts' content, reveling for three full days and nights. Afterward, A Liang slept for another three full days and nights before finally waking up! Upon waking, A Liang felt weak all over and had a dizzy, heavy head. He reckoned he must have really overdone it with the drinking this time.

Lin Xiao's talent was evident to all. If his cultivation were to stagnate because of this incident, it would truly be a scene the contemporary Sword King would loathe to witness.

With these words, Dong Tuo turned and walked toward the Deyang Palace. Li Ru followed closely behind him. Just as he was about to step into the Deyang Palace, Li Ru turned back to glance at Lü Bu, who was being subjected to punishment not far away. A trace of worry welled up in his heart.

"You think far too highly of yourself. If we were to choose a general stationed domestically, my camp is brimming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers; it would never be your turn," Zhang Yaoyang said unmercifully.

Naturally, Lu Tianxiang understood this as well. Putting aside the fact that he did not possess the local currency here, even if he did, he could not afford to pay with it. After all, how could someone coming out of the deep mountains possibly have money? Everything there was self-sufficient, requiring no monetary transactions at all.

"Master, this disciple and Brother A Liang discussed it and decided to host a banquet tonight, inviting everyone to gather here at the Snow Alliance. First, it can boost everyone's solidarity, and second, we can discuss grand strategies together. What do you think? Does Master have any thoughts on this?"

"Who is willing to be a slave, who is willing to be a beast of burden, the beacon fires of humanity have ignited across the whole of Europe..." Professor Shi sang the song of midnight voices.

However, her infatuation with Ning Daoxuan went unrequited, and ultimately her Heavenly Demon Sect was destroyed primarily by the Northern Underworld Sword Sect.

With a movement of his divine sense, he discovered that the Old Freak of the North Sea had long since vanished to goodness knows where. It seemed this old man was quite considerate, knowing to leave space for him and Zhao Mingyue to spend time alone.

"Someone is here." Jun Nuo raised his middle finger and index finger, laid his other hand flat horizontally, and made his two fingers walk across the other palm.

As this shout subsided, the people in the general seating area immediately closed their mouths. They were well aware that compared to others in terms of wealth, they fell far too short. Better not to participate in the bidding at all, lest they bring humiliation upon themselves.
