Volume One, Chapter 26: The Alarm Sounds

The man sprang up again like a monkey dragging a long tail, but this assault was far more ferocious than the previous two, as if someone had granted him an acceleration cheat.

However, a cold, piercing glare from Jiang Rui forced him back. Jiang Rui’s eyes were as sharp as a starving wolf's; the moment they swept over the dog-like man and his lackeys, those who had intended to advance all froze in their tracks.

She fell heavily to the ground and saw A-Ling one exit away, still huddled in the darkness on the floor, having tripped.

Shi Qian fell silent for a long moment, fixing his gaze on Shi Nan. He could not define the exact emotion in his heart; although Shi Nan was still deathly pale from illness, the unyielding defiance emanating from his very bones was clearly etched upon his face.

Uncle Shen’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent. Instead, he whispered instructions to the servants to put in more effort and carry the bed to He Zhaoyun’s quarters.

However... she could never break her habit of being scatterbrained. Bubbles were flowing into her eyes, yet she did not even think to wipe them away.

Originally, he had long been qualified to enter the headquarters of the Allied Military, but because of his love for Earth and his attachment to his homeland, he had remained in the China Military District, becoming the official spokesperson for the Chinese military.

Yet, Zerg interstellar destroyers also launched a counterattack, utilizing exceptionally wicked weaponry—they deployed space debris weapons against the Dragon Soul military satellites.

Li Hai suppressed his wild imagination and the urge to rush in to take control of the situation, continuing to crouch outside and listen. The situation in the room did not yet seem beyond repair; if he were to burst in now, he might inadvertently make it impossible to salvage.

Guohan, fearing the old nanny would keep pestering him, quickly interrupted, "I won't speak with you any longer, Nanny. I must hurry to seek the Prince's instructions." With that, he hurried away.

Later on, just as she was about to give up searching, Lin Yue displayed the Flame Sun Three Profound Variations during the Nine Luminaries Martial Arts Tournament. It was exactly the same as the way he looked when he first met Shen Hai.

Dawn had broken, but the falling snow made the day seem gloomy. Though the fifth watch had long since passed, there was no sign of true daylight. The entire Sui Garden was brightly lit, and nearly a thousand imperial guards stood on high alert, surrounding the premises so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

If it were an energy shield on armor, higher-end versions possessed special shielding capable of absorbing the high-voltage electricity of thunder-striking swords and the high-temperature energy of laser rifles.

"I wonder why Consort Hua has come?" The Empress had long since observed Consort Hua’s defiance, though she had never bothered to hold it against her.

"The imperial fugitive Nangong Yi?" The Emperor found these words grating. His Yi’er was so outstanding; he should have absolutely no connection to a fugitive of the imperial court.

Compared to the elite troops of the Imata people like the Tamihoros, the threat posed by General Kuangfeng’s personal guard to Wu Ma Xiaolang and the others was far less significant.

The reason Master Wei’s products had no side effects was that they were extracted from active plant ingredients. But what kind of valuable substances could possibly grow in that godforsaken place of theirs?

If this dragged on, there would be no need for the Wei state’s troops to attack; even if only one or two more monsters appeared, it would be difficult for the soldiers to maintain their full combat effectiveness.

Xiao Lingxiao opened her eyes, warily scanning the newcomers. They were dressed in lightweight night-traveling gear, with black cloth wrapped around their heads and masks over their faces, different from the attire of the previous group. She had just heard a whistle and knew someone was calling for reinforcements, but she did not know if these fellows were friends or foes.

The layout of the left path was no different from the middle one. After walking a certain distance inward, I first looked back to ensure no one was following. Then, I checked to make sure no strange talismans had been stuck onto my body.

At this moment, Han Ying walked in. Lin Canghai was somewhat surprised to see her, but he said nothing, watching her quietly.

As he approached Ye Xuan, he raised his hand and pushed forward, causing a wave of thunder to roar toward him.

"You old dog, if you have the guts, repeat the disrespectful words you just said about the Emperor and Consort Meng." Liu Yang flicked his wrist, the tip of his spear tapping against Qin Hong’s cheek as he spoke with extreme sarcasm.

After all, the magic artifacts in the hands of these six were all of the spirit-treasure grade. If Ji Changfeng could so easily and casually toss them to these people, just how wealthy must he be? To be able to serve such a powerful figure! Naturally, the group silently marveled that their choice that day had been the right one.

Lin Canghai and his brothers left the police station feeling somewhat depressed, unable to help but wonder how this had happened. They had done a good deed only to end up in the police station being grilled with questions. Remembering the stern demeanor of the police, Lin Canghai could not help but shake his head and sigh.

We slept until the next morning, and after everyone had returned one after another, we prepared to set off. Just then, three young men arrived at the hotel. I was sitting in the lobby waiting for my brothers to assemble when these three approached.

Even this kind of aura was enough to make Ji Changfeng feel quite uneasy—otherwise, he wouldn't have brought in a Nurarihyon to deal with Zhou Tai and Song Buwei that day. Finding himself in the midst of it now, Ji Changfeng secretly broke into a cold sweat, though on the surface, he still feigned indifference, picking up a cup of fragrant tea from the bedside table to take a sip.
