Volume One, Chapter 22: Would You Do Anything for Wan Yan?

Li Xuandao’s eyes flashed with intensity as he unleashed the "Five Emperors Fist." Instantly, the phantoms of the five ancient emperors emerged, their majestic imperial aura surging to shake the heavens.

Four years later, if she were to speak of the events of that year and claim it was all the work of Qin Sixue... this man would likely never believe her, assuming instead that she was merely slandering others.

Next, the two celestial beads rotated in opposition, erupting with spiritual power. After observing for quite some time without discovering any anomalies, Tun Tian withdrew.

Terrified screams filled the space. The mysterious fairy, no longer maintaining her previous calm and composure, cried out in alarm, her body trembling violently in a manner that appeared somewhat comical.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Yaoguang asked a curious question, causing Yazhao to fall into silence once again.

Huang Xu was quite satisfied with Shen Chun’s display of respect. Consequently, he acted "generously," granting the members of the Sword Sect an opportunity to bask in the baptism of the dragon's aura.

However, before he could finish rejoicing, a blood-drenched figure descended before the imperial palace and charged in, disregarding everything else.

After a minute of walking, the three of them finally arrived at the private room reserved by Xu Gang, guided by a waiter.

Beside him, Yi Juncai, dressed in white, also drew many gazes. After all, being ranked third was proof enough of his strength.

Li Xuandao raised his hand with unremarkable simplicity and then brought it down. The phantoms of immortals and demons, wielding a great seal, suppressed the area once more.

I thought I had disguised my intentions flawlessly; I thought Fan Ye was a fool... How is it that after living with Fan Ye for only one day, my lies have already been dismantled?

"Lord Gao, by suddenly moving up the schedule of the Karluk tribe, are you not afraid of arousing the suspicions of the Arabs?" Zhang Ji pondered, ultimately feeling that this move was far too risky.

"What do you think you're doing?! I am the owner of this company! Do you all not want your jobs anymore?!" Her roar attracted every gaze, and as they looked at her, everyone furrowed their brows slightly.

With no strength in his right foot and his hands restrained by the snake's fangs, Lan Hai’s only remaining support was his left foot. Moreover, the strength of this hydra underwater was truly astonishing; for the moment, Lan Hai had no way to escape.

Zhou Chuanming realized that if he rejected Wu Ziqiang’s entry today, he would offend Zhou Mingchuan on the spot and lose Li Daili. Was it worth it for the sake of one Wu Ziqiang? Was it worth it for an unpredictable future?

Subsequently, I pulled out the IV line from my hand, climbed off the bed, grabbed a change of clothes, and went into the bathroom to shower.

Fu Jinxi felt no confusion as to how Qianli could order the palace eunuchs to summon her. What imperial palace did not have spies from other nations, and what monarch did not plant their own eyes within the palaces of others?

His eyes remained fixed on me, unblinking. I stared back at him with wide, incredulous eyes.

Though spoken in such a manner, everyone actually understood the true purpose of this meeting. Director Gu simply wanted to use this opportunity to squeeze out Chu Mochuan, using the current online controversy as a pretext.

Upon reaching the hall, the soft jazz music instantly changed the atmosphere. Mu Xia had never been to the other entertainment sections of Rui, but she couldn't deny that she quite liked the vibe of this pure bar.

She was annoyed. If they weren't going on stage together, how was she supposed to stir up trouble while the crowd was gathered?

As soon as the second senior brother spoke, the other disciples chimed in all at once, not in the least bit afraid of being reprimanded.

Watching the contestants leave happily, having shed the dejection of their previous elimination, Wen Ningyu smiled and turned back to her bedroom.

"If you don't want to make me angry, then shut your mouth!" Liu Changgui then left, leaving Su Ruyi standing there in embarrassment. What was wrong with Liu Changgui today? Why was he treating her like this?

"Don't worry, this small amount of soul power is far from enough to solve my problems." In the end, Jiang Dong gave the Earth Element Pill to Shangguan Qiudie.

"Die for me!" Number Two appeared behind Shirou, dagger in hand, striking directly toward his chest.

She felt that the way he looked at her was different. Bai Mo did not understand, so she followed Yi Yi out as well.

After I called for Xu Hu to stop, he halted his advance. He, too, had realized that the person before him was not Tingting, but something else—a ghost or a similar entity. Though it possessed no ghostly aura, its ability to drift within this river of blood proved it was certainly no benevolent being.

Before bed, she checked Weibo and saw her fans comforting her and taking her side in the comments. She posted a beautiful bare-faced photo and wrote: "No matter what happens, we must maintain a good mood. Goodnight, everyone."

However, whether it is the Dao of Dreams or an illusion, when wielded by a powerful practitioner, it can become impossible for an opponent to resolve, ultimately leading them to sink into it forever.

The two brothers chatted as they reported the battle situation to Gao Chong and assigned tasks. Stilwell organized the watch, cooked, and rested, preparing to push forward throughout the night.

Those who had just mocked the old man selling grass were trembling all over, fearing that this person, whom the Master of the Xiao Gate called "Senior," would erase them with a flick of a finger.

She was quite satisfied with the current situation. If only she had met Brother Chu Feng earlier, Zhao Jing kept thinking, she wouldn't have missed out on so many of her best years. She could have traveled wherever she pleased.

Luo Ping did not care at all about the confusion of the crowd, directly summoning the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, which grew to an immense size in the void.

Every ancient family has its own foundations; otherwise, they certainly could not have stood on the Nine Immortals Continent for ten thousand years without perishing.

Tang Daoxi said viciously, "A hero? No matter how great a hero, when backed into a corner, they will still end up with no place to be buried." With that, he turned and left.

"Are you from the Xuantian Sword Sect? Is it originally the same as the Qingyang Sword Sect?" The young man finally awoke from his shock and brief confusion. Feeling a sense of kinship with this boy, he asked this question naturally to help him out of his predicament.

Seeing Cui Zhubo being dragged away, and with the Prince of Shu in a fit of rage, no one dared to step forward to persuade him otherwise. Wei Zhuang had the heart to intervene, but he understood that Cui Zhubo’s words had touched upon a great taboo. Staying silent was safe, and no one would come looking to blame those who brought him. If he were to step forward, he feared he would only invite disaster upon himself.

I saw ten first-tier major cities, which left me stunned. I took a breath and thought, "Walk slowly; there will be opportunities in the future." Ignoring the other places, I teleported directly to White Cloud City.

Su Huangxi contemplated for a moment. "I am going too, wait for me!" She quickly dressed, opened the door, and, supported by Mei'er, headed toward the Yuxiao Palace.

In the car, Mu Xingtong initially let Annie speak, but she didn't know what he wanted to hear. After being pulled into his arms for a fierce kiss, she became cleverer. Realizing that he listened with great interest even to the trivial things she said after they met, she simply started telling him about what had happened at home and the company during this period.
