Song Li nodded slightly. Just as Soaring Moonlight said, if there were any treasures in this forsaken place, the most likely spot would be the residence of the people who once lived here.
That probably wasn’t their purpose in coming here this time. Or could it be that they actually knew what was inside?
Guo Ye recounted the events of the day to the two of them, though he dared not mention the incident of teasing Empress Changsun.
Fortunately, the bombing run by the aircraft was brief. From Lenin to Bayan is a full 130 kilometers; a round trip is 260 kilometers. While this is within the aircraft’s attack range, it was clearly impossible to sustain bombing for too long.
“Ninth Master, what did Boss Fu say?” Joyce asked with concern, noticing my uneasy expression.
Zhao An suddenly broke out in a cold sweat; his face flushed red instantly. His body trembled slightly, as if he wanted to vanish into the ground.
Indeed, his words were highly effective. Some hesitant attendants began to steady their minds and stirred the true energy within.
While we rested, Stutterer continued to chant his incantations as before, and Chen Jiujiu kept watching him intently.
This ordeal was truly uncanny. Yuchi Gong was a famed fierce general of the Tang Dynasty. Killing a few men was as effortless to him as drinking cold water; countless people had died by his hand. To be stabbed in the chest by him and not die was a heavenly blessing, yet here the man was, unscathed and calm.
“Too bad it’s not you to accompany me in the end…” Suddenly, the damned phone on Fang Tianbao’s waist rang at the worst possible moment.
Only a few drones remained, carrying Dragon Squad members ready to retreat. The stone door had been blasted open by the Tigers, and the dogs were widening the exit. Just as the evacuation was underway, the entire tomb chamber collapsed. Fortunately, the massive boulders above showed no signs of shifting; otherwise, we would have been completely buried alive.
“Could you pay attention for a moment?” Nian’er came over, watching me eat with a smile threatening to break free.

Wei Changfeng looked up to see hundreds of Xiongnu cavalry approaching, torches in hand, evidently intending to burn the Divine Machine Chariot.
Fifteen thousand cavalry were naturally to replenish the northern forces’ losses, but five hundred saber-wielding soldiers were certainly not good news.
The Qi cultivator replied, “Your Majesty is the supreme sovereign, the true dragon incarnate. Yet you have not fully transformed into a dragon, remaining mortal flesh. I can arrange a Great Dragon Transformation Formation to mold your golden body, transforming you into a true dragon, thus granting you eternal life.”
A cigarette twisted between slender fingers flickered in the breeze. When Zhongli peeked out, he saw the man leaning against the wall, eyes fluttering as if gazing at nothing. He took a drag, pursed his lips to exhale, then, sensing her arrival, squinted lazily and beckoned her with a crooked finger.
The gray mist gradually dissipated. As Su Chenyang’s consciousness cleared, coupled with his waning spiritual power, the illusion elements were completely depleted. That terrifying scene had stemmed entirely from Su Chenyang’s fury. Yan’er was so important to him that anyone daring to strike her would compel him to fight with all his might.
The perseverance required to awaken supernatural abilities the day after tomorrow was beyond ordinary people’s reach. The near-death experiences were indescribable. Jiu’er could not truly empathize but was genuinely happy.
He wanted to check on Tong Haoran. After all, other generals had returned in prison carts; he feared Tong Haoran would be beaten as badly as he was.
Upon receiving Ye Huan’s reply, Zhang Cong tossed the phone to Ye Yuzhao. At that moment, the Land Rover stopped nearby, and Lesen stepped out, face grim, holding a double-barreled shotgun.
Tian Ci was truly stunned here. There were only a dozen coffins, nothing else. Seeing this, he realized he had finally found the right place: the corpse cultivators’ lair.
“What room?” Lin Feng was baffled. He wanted to ask, but the waiter had already gone ahead.
“I didn’t provoke you; I’m just speaking the truth. Am I wrong?” The more my body ached, the deeper the hatred in my heart grew. The more I hated, the more I wanted to be strong.
Tang Ya still felt no danger approaching her and turned around, enjoying the view of the lake with ease.

The Demon Sect consisted of only two clans: the Cimi Clan and the Lesembra Clan.
If he hadn’t come, it was indeed because he didn’t know. If not for bringing Shifang down the mountain for training this time, he might never have come here.
Although Elder Xiang was a mage, he was also a third reincarnate and thus had some knowledge of Feng Shui. Yu Ying hadn’t expected Elder Xiang to be so approachable; he nodded happily. Then Yu Ying went over to Tang Yan, and the two began chatting.
A powerful aura drew closer and closer to Qiu Ming. He detected it early because the other party made no effort to conceal their presence.
Zhao He gazed at him silently yet seemed not to be looking at him. Her hazel eyes were like a vast, tranquil sea—no ripples stirred even when a stone was thrown in, until it sank to the bottom, forever imprisoned there.
Nowadays, with the prevalence of WeChat, more people seemed inclined to use it for one-night encounters. There was even a more popular term called “P-friend.” The wretched society: the reason Dad and Mom quarrelled was because Dad searched “people nearby” on WeChat.
For example, a fundamental requirement was that if many cultivators wanted to communicate through the One Element Spirit Jade, everyone needed to send their spiritual senses into it.
She intended to find a secluded place and use body seizure to take over the fire spirit’s body. But unexpectedly, after only one day of running, she was caught by two awakened senior brothers. What followed was the scene just now.
Cang Hai glanced over and saw the matchmaker enter another private room with two young ladies. Soon, noisy voices rose from inside.
