The Fire God of Muyun raised his sword, pointing it directly at Liu Xiaomeng. His body was suffused with sword energy, ready to strike her down. After this commotion, Lin Fan’s strength and magnanimity left everyone convinced and submissive. No one dared to pick a fight anymore. Once all the men in black had departed, the others tidied up and returned to their previous positions. "Tell me, Chief of Staff, what exactly are you trying to do..." Yusheng shuddered, looking at Fan Tianlei with lingering fear, unable to hold back his question. Jiang Yan’s movements were dazzling and complex; by the time the two reacted, Elder Ye had already been laid on the ground, gasping for air. If someone were provoking the Hunter School and he remained indifferent, he would not be worthy of being an instructor there. Although Mixue had only released three designs so far, there was no guarantee she hadn't plagiarized others. Aiqi also looked gloomily at the spot where he had just been standing; that grenade had nearly cost him his life. Had it not been for Robb’s timely warning, he would have been dead. After all, this place was already somewhat eerie, and if they couldn't even perform deductions now, what were they supposed to do? The two sides clashed instantly without further ado. All three were top-tier human combatants; as they let loose, the battle was nothing short of earth-shattering and breathtaking. Ye Lin was different; he only wanted to capture Xie Zhiming, or perhaps... simply killing him would be just as well. During this time, Qin Nian was very busy. Apart from attending classes and sleeping, she spent all her time in the dance studio, leaving Ji Jingrui unable to see her even once. Chuchu had transformed two spacious areas of the shop into modern showroom styles. These were the living room concepts: one in a low-key luxury style, the other simple and neat, left for customers to choose from.

He placed the application file into the "approved" pile without hesitation and marked it with a high-priority tag. Somehow, news of the Regent falling ill leaked out. Several imperial censors caught wind of it and came rushing over. The person sat at the vanity by the window, turned sideways to him, wearing a snow-white wide-sleeved dress. Her fair hand was holding a snow-white pearl ornament, pinning it into her hair bun. Chu Dazhuang and Chu Erkang were utterly disappointed in their younger brother and no longer held any expectations for him. Lilith opened her mouth, but could only babble, unable to speak, and then pointed to the corrective device worn on her head, shrugging helplessly. Lu Siqi roared, grabbing the giant black scythe with both arms, hacking wildly. The strikes forced Luo Xingyan to retreat repeatedly, the webbing between her thumb and forefinger splitting from gripping the longbow, blood flowing freely. The college students were bold and determined to prove they were no better than the elders. Ignoring their classmates' advice, they drew their bone spikes, stepped out from the group, and charged aggressively toward the Terror Crocodile. Speaking of this, Principal An pointed to the disheveled and battered faculty members behind him to prove his words were true. "In the campaign to destroy Jin, if the news has been leaked, the enemy should know we have the capability to pinpoint their general location as well as their supply lines. If I were the enemy commander, I certainly wouldn't keep all my supplies in one place to avoid losing everything at once!" Xu Shu explained. Dammit, if he had known, he would have dealt more patiently with that poor student to get him to sell the technology. He had thought victory was within his grasp, believing that under financial pressure, Liang Xiuqi would eventually sell it to him. He never expected Liang Xiuqi to turn around and defect to the Qin family, handing the technology over for nothing. At the time, Zisu could not understand it at all, but now that she had been with her mistress for a few days, seeing everything with her own eyes, she feared that the master was so cold-hearted that he only cared for that mother and son outside. Ten thousand rays of starlight descended upon Yunya Island. The phenomenon was clearly visible within a hundred miles of Central Province City, alarming the major clans, sects, and even the King of the Vast Sea. Firing the last tranquilizer dart from the gun, the sedative finally took effect on the half-orc; otherwise, Ning Fei would have been truly helpless.

She did not know much about combat and had rarely handled firearms, but as an administrator, she understood the importance of continuity. Therefore, for a weapon with limited ammunition, her primary consideration was the consistency of her attacks. Once Jiang Haoran had said this, even if Bai Chongxi were a fool, he would have understood the implication. He had never held any affection for Yan'an and was considered one of the more stubborn anti-Yan'an elements. Fortunately, establishing a manor was not difficult; governors and county magistrates could spare a few people, and once the task was completed, it could be built. It was just that time was too tight, and they had to attack Napoleon before they could even upgrade the settlement; for now, that was all they could do. Using the tracking artifact obtained while clearing the battlefield, Lin Tuo easily found his destination: an inconspicuous warehouse on West Street. When they arrived, they found Tianxiang chatting leisurely with Saiqila. Tada’s face darkened immediately, and he glared at Tianxiang. "As it should be, as it should be!" Wang Keming nodded like a pounding pestle, then walked out of the office under the guidance of his guards. High-altitude bombing inevitably caused collateral damage, but compared to tens of thousands of soldiers, such casualties were understandable. Especially now that Jiang Haoran held a grudge against the islanders, he felt even less restraint in using it. He realized something was wrong and followed Hu Yu to the lounge in silence. Qianjin Cape was a good place. Facing the sea in front and backed by a peninsula, its location in the western corner of the Japanese Marquis's territory made it a natural harbor. At the same time, Qianjin Cape was close to East Woju, making its geographical position highly significant. Even when it was just a level-two outpost, it had already become a busy port.
