Siyao was stunned for a long time. “I’m carrying Bai Yu’s child, holding my belly and telling you, ‘This is our child…’” Siyao seemed lost. “I’m carrying Bai Yu’s child, holding my belly and telling you, ‘This is our child…’” Suddenly, her mouth was covered.

……

According to Qin Ye’s analysis, the public’s impression of him across the country was probably still stuck on his appearance in the variety show “Masked Singer King.”

However, although the influence just now was caused by Zhao Chengping’s skill activation, the camaraderie among the soldiers was real. Though they were enemies, they still watched out for each other.

“Don’t worry! We never rely on anyone else’s help—we’ve always depended on ourselves!” Zhou Yuan clenched his fists as he spoke.

If, before, they didn’t know who was behind all this, perhaps everyone would have hated the culprit to the core. But now that they knew it was one of the company’s major shareholders, a different calculation began in their hearts.

Ever since the last series of scams and swindles in this region, Mufeng had stationed members from several unofficial corps here to maintain order.

As the two of them spoke, the car drove out of the forest road, and suddenly the view opened up—a military base lay ahead.

The Desolate Clan looked around in confusion, not knowing what to do. Scenes like this were unfolding all over the city, gradually catching the attention of the Demon Clan.

But these people didn’t realize that those running the gambling rings were secretly laughing, for they belonged either to the City Lord’s Mansion or to Chen Xuefeng Trading House.

“Haha, Xianhao is truly a remarkable young man.” Yin Jijun reached out and shook hands with Li Xianhao.

If it hadn’t been so sudden this time, she would have wanted to bring her teammates to meet these two remarkable new companions.

If he wasn’t really paving the way for Jiang Xuelin, then it meant he knew Jiang Xuelin extraordinarily well—even planning ahead for possible mid-route changes.

Previously, Jiang Ling had been anxious to find the Imperial Garden and hadn’t paid much attention to her. He had even probed her multiple times with his psychic power but never sensed any cultivation fluctuations, so he assumed she wasn’t important. But now, with her odd behavior, Jiang Ling carefully pondered and sensed something was off.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. That day, Liu Yi bid farewell to his master Leng Huan, packed his belongings, and once again arrived at the Inner Sect Square.

The front lines were known as the Blood Demon Front; the buffer zone was divided into nine major areas—eight sects plus the True Dragon Dynasty, each occupying one. They were named Demon Zone One, Demon Zone Two, Demon Zone Three, Demon Zone Four… and so on, all the way to Demon Zone Nine.

The arena was built from solid logs. Under Liu Tuo’s iron fist, the log beneath Liu Xianzhi’s head snapped, caving in his skull. Amidst his wretched screams, Liu Xianzhi’s nose was smashed askew, the corner of his eye split, and dark purple blood spattered everywhere.

Among the gazes cast their way, some were kind, others indifferent, and one in particular was cold and mocking.

“It’s not just you who broke your word. I once swore too, that I would protect the one I love, never letting her suffer a single hurt or grievance. But just now, you almost left me forever—how can that be? That cannot be!” Lei Yu roared inwardly.

The man sitting across from Chen Ba made no comment, simply watching everything unfold with a cool detachment. Chen Ba glanced back and, seeing the look on the man’s face, his expression turned cold, but he said nothing.

After a bout of furious words, the player placed a card in the Magic Trap Zone on the field, and the turn passed to You Jian.

Luo Shan and Yan Fang were startled by Xia Zhi’s actions. Although Raven Feather could temporarily alleviate the poison in those already afflicted, for someone taking it for the first time, it was the deadliest of toxins. With Luo Shan’s tragic experience as a warning, how could Xia Zhi be so foolish?
