94 Morning Star (1)

Around him, countless comrades were cheering his awakening. Yet he could hear nothing at all. Or rather, he could see his friends opening their mouths and speaking, but he could not make sense of a single word.

"Nothing's wrong." Chen He gave her a faint smile, then casually reached out and took her soft hand. At that moment, Li Peijiu could no longer stay composed. She, too, sensed the strangeness in Chen He... He had never been this odd before.

"All right, sirs, your meal is ready. I’ll have it brought out right away. Please, once you’re done, go back to your room and rest." After speaking, the innkeeper bowed and slowly withdrew.

The infant’s eyes were tightly shut, its body having been simmered at high heat... One could only imagine how much torment it had endured before death. This was a living life, a life that had not yet even entered the world. And now it had perished here... before it had even had the chance to open its eyes.

Today, word had spread that he was getting married, so the Shi family from the city had even sent people to deliver gifts. More of the city’s other powerful figures had come as well, merely to show the Shi family respect.

With such hesitation on their side, Long Jun found it effortless to evade the sabers slashing straight toward him.

The Zhang family was a true top-tier noble house. With a clan as vast as theirs, even Mo Dao could scarcely imagine the power their main line could marshal.

At that moment, the soldiers snapped to attention and saluted Chu Zhongtian in unison, shouting, "Thank you, Boss Chu! Boss Chu is mighty!" Thousands of voices rose together, earthshaking and awe-inspiring.

Just as they were about to enter the city, the gate officer ordered the spirit ship to stop and began checking everyone’s identity one by one, forbidding any drifter from slipping aboard.

Time passed. Backed by Great Yong, the Longxiang Army received a steady stream of resources and troops. Its spearpoint grew sharper and sharper, and the army expanded step by step, from one hundred and twenty thousand at the outset to one hundred and sixty thousand, then two hundred thousand. In the end, once its grand formation was unleashed, heaven and earth changed color. With a single display of the Blood-Slaying Saber Formation, it swept across the world, and the Imperial Heaven Army was terrified beyond measure.

Blood trailed from the doorway all the way into the dining room. The dining room door was shut, and in Li Lang’s home, the living room, dining room, and kitchen were connected, only separated by opaque glass doors. At that moment, Li Lang could see the blood entering the dining room, and he could even make out that there seemed to be a pile of something on the table.

His mind rang like a thunderclap, leaving him utterly at a loss. Just that morning everything had still been fine, so how had half a day been enough to turn life and death into irreconcilable separation?

Zero and Orb teamed up against one of them, while Taro and Xiaolong took on the other. These two Galactrons, enhanced by Gilbaris, had already reached the peak of level five in strength. The hard metal shell alone made them extremely troublesome.

Wushen glanced at Huangfu Xu with a look that carried both shock and regret. To be so daring, to show such disrespect toward the Emperor of Heaven, and even to speak the words of being consigned to the grave—if he did not die, he would still have to shed a layer of skin.

A variety show? Whether it was Running Man or Extreme Challenge or anything else, leaving aside whether the planning could even be pulled off, even if it were made, it might not necessarily win people’s affection. In the era of the Interstellar Federation, variety shows about extreme cosmic travel were already everywhere.

Lin Chen roughly estimated that, aside from Mu Fengsheng, the others were hardly worth mentioning. As for Mu Fengsheng’s strength, it was only slightly weaker than the black-clad man they had encountered before, and probably on par with Luo Tiancheng.

Among the supreme sages who chose to sleep, each time they woke, the Saint Realm was still the Saint Realm. The things they had grown tired of were still tiresome. Some chose to remain asleep, some chose to destroy themselves, and some chose to be reborn through reincarnation.

Earlier, the Bird Emperor had secretly sent a voice transmission to Qin Lie, telling him plainly that his earlier feigned contempt for Qin Lie had been entirely to enrage the Azure Emperor.

"Tch! Isn’t it just Yapool’s Ultra Killer? What some ‘ultimate killer’—he’s twenty thousand years behind me!" As he spoke, Zero fused the two ice blades into one and swung down at the Ultimate Killer.

Xiaoyuan’s fingernails scraped against the car window. "I... I was afraid you’d be unhappy."

Han Mingjin smiled and shook his head. "You’re afraid I’d refuse, aren’t you? You think I don’t care about you as much as I care about others, so you feel you don’t have much say in front of me, right?" Xiaoyuan said nothing, and did not look at him.

He turned back, held out his hand, and with a pull from Yue Zanghua, the two rode the same white horse and slipped out of the imperial city.

As the long halberd in his hand swept through the air, it produced terrifying whirlwinds, enough to twist the currents of countless streams into chaos.

Naturally, this pained Mingnan to no end. But that was simply how the company’s work was. He could do nothing but stand helplessly by. He wanted to help Yulu, but he did not even know where to begin. He was fine when it came to managing the company, but on matters like these, he was only half-educated at best.

Shaking his head in confusion, Lin Xiao glanced toward the direction from which the singing was coming, then turned and walked toward the place where Dushima Saeko was resting.

Han Mingjin wore a disdainful expression. "My standing as chairman doesn’t even count for much, let alone his as a president." Park Jin-young shook his head and burst into laughter. Kim Taeyeon gently nudged Han Mingjin. "Aren’t there still us older sisters? We all really like you." Suddenly, shrill screams erupted from below.

Shengshi did not mind the heat at all. He held her like that, his hand lightly stroking Ji Liunian’s jet-black hair. Such a tender gesture almost made Ji Liunian mistakenly feel that he was a very gentle man.
