The two walked through the vast desert for another two days. By now, Qingxin Yinyue’s stamina was no longer sufficient to support the recovery of her inner energy, leaving them to resign themselves to fate.

"Hmph, you say that, but if I didn't reach out to you, were you never planning to contact me?" Ye Shitong pouted, acting coquettishly.

For some reason, as Lin Xinying spoke those words, her heart felt a slight ache, and a faint bitterness spread within her.

"You only need to envelop the giant dragon with the blue light of the Cold Orchid Herb, and its soul-summoning power will manifest. I will perform the Supreme Summoning alongside it; we shall act in tandem!" Yun Feng said, the golden light radiating from his body growing increasingly intense.

The members of the Evil Shark Squad, who had been staring intently ahead from within the carriage, suddenly erupted into a chorus of furious wails.

Under Vivinier’s escort, the cavalry of the Rock Mountain Legion finally charged forward in a grand, sweeping wave. The cavalry and other units following behind also rushed into the city, engaging in a chaotic melee with the ordinary infantry of the Light Alliance.

Over the past month, An Ning and Lan Qingyue had accompanied Lan Junyao every day. Her injuries had actually healed, yet she continued to feign a lingering ailment. She quite enjoyed these leisurely days, though at times she deeply missed those who had passed on.

The Foundation’s headquarters was no secret to the cultivation world. Initially established in North America, it was later moved to New Zealand due to various complex factors. It wasn't that New Zealand held particular importance, but like Geneva, it was chosen as a neutral geopolitical location after intense maneuvering, serving to signal their commitment to neutrality.

For convenience, Zhang Maoxiu decided to travel along the Grand Canal for a stretch, intending to continue overland to Guangdong once he reached Yangzhou.

"I presume this must be Han Yun, the younger brother you have mentioned to me so often!" Liu Ping said, nodding as he looked toward Han Yun.

During the bath, the man inevitably found himself aroused once more. He hadn't had his fill yet, and how could he resist such naked temptation? As Zheng Chenheng cleaned Xichen’s body, his fingers gradually grew restless, pressing and kneading at the warm, tight entrance.

"Alright, go on with what you were saying!" Seeing that Fu Rongxi was truly at a loss for words, Zheng Chenheng couldn't bear to see him distressed, so he spoke softly.

Zheng Chenheng glanced at her indifferently and said nothing. Seeing her turn and head back to the bedroom, he showed no reaction at all. Zheng Xichen felt a sense of awkwardness regarding Cong Huifang; watching her leave without a word, he felt there was something strange about the situation.

The Guardian Pact is a bidirectional contract; both parties must protect one another. If one party is severely injured or dies, the other is also affected. However, there are corresponding benefits: both parties’ cultivation speed is enhanced, and the use of Spirit Possession carries no side effects.

As it turned out, it was a case of being blinded by the light of the lamp; everyone knew he had already advanced to the First Grade and, through Sun Zhongyang, were aware he had long since experienced the Martial Dao Resonance. Consequently, when the resonance occurred this time, no one suspected him at all.

"Ah Gui, you’ve finally arrived! Comrade Yaqiao and I have been waiting for you for quite a while!" The middle-aged man in a long gown said with a smile as he looked at Ah Gui.

"Future, don't participate. I can stay with you." Molin suddenly ran over and took my hand.

"Overestimating your capabilities. I want to see just how much power you truly possess." The Black Flood Dragon opened its massive maw, lunged forward with a sudden burst of speed, and charged at Qi Shanshan.

She was truly married—married to someone else. It turned out her words weren't just spoken in anger; she had really left him behind, she really didn't want him anymore. He had nothing left; to be without her was to be without everything.

The third esper was a burly man walking at the rear. One look at his physique revealed him to be a fierce and powerful individual named Wu Baiwan.

"Fang Tong has agreed to sell the controlling interest in Weiyuan?" Cui Bin had only met Fang Tong once.

"Let’s rest for a moment. Even if you can handle it, I can’t. This thing consumes too much stamina." Ye Zheng said with a wry smile.

Cat’s Eye remained silent, merely watching Wang Qiang. In truth, while he recognized that the Black Flood Dragon harbored ill intentions, he couldn't pinpoint the specifics of the conspiracy. Ultimately, such mentally taxing matters were for Wang Qiang to solve.

However, the Bodhi tree only bears eighty-one seeds every ten thousand years, and it is guarded by high monks of the Deity Transformation stage. Thus, although everyone covets them, those who truly obtain a Bodhi seed are few and far between.

Or was it that Ice Flame possessed some hidden foundation they were unaware of? If that were truly the case, the plan for annexation would have to be suspended for now.

After looking it over, Zhang Fei felt his initial speculations were largely correct. He set the alchemy aside for now, as he currently had nothing worth refining.

At that time, Mo Wuying happened to be away, which allowed him to escape the catastrophe. As for the Patriarch of the Mo clan, there had been no word of him for many years, and it was unknown whether he had successfully captured the Fire Spirit, or if he was even still alive.

The smile on Chairman Huang’s face froze instantly. He stared at Ren Xianzhi, stammering and completely at a loss.

They were not demons, but pigeons. A massive loft was hidden within the woods, and hundreds of doves soared across the sky. Among them was one, a messenger bringing news of turmoil to the world.

"Your subordinate is here." Hearing Li Yu call him, Li Xin immediately stepped before him and bowed in salute.

Upon hearing the words of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Gonggong felt dismissive. What did such petty tricks amount to? If Houtu had participated in the previous trial, she would truly have understood what power meant.

"Hey, Brother Wen!" Wen Zheng gave a nonchalant smile. "Let’s be straightforward; don't be wishy-washy. Ten million—not a cent less!" After speaking, he cast a furtive glance at Lin Tiansheng.

As a relative by marriage, Yuan Shao sent congratulatory gifts. As "allies," the Han Emperor Liu Xie and Situ Cao Cao also sent gifts, and former subordinates such as Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan likewise sent very generous wedding offerings.
