Chapter 36

The giant monument stands ten zhang high. It is not particularly large, nor does it possess any extraordinary features; it is merely an ordinary monument.

With that, the representatives of Maink departed the arena in silence, as if this grand event had never had anything to do with them from the very beginning.

Beyond the wall lay a corridor, and to one's shock, it was packed with a dense crowd of figures.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure. To say it didn't hurt would be a lie, but he knew he absolutely could not fall.

After spitting out that mouthful of blood, Beiluo’s face turned deathly pale, yet his expression grew increasingly sinister and triumphant, causing even Soul-Detainer, standing nearby, to tremble.

"Oh, these two," Li Linhao said as he personally brought the dishes out from the kitchen. Zhang Junbao followed, bringing out several jars of fine wine from the cellar. The brothers ignored the other two and began to drink on their own.

According to the prior agreement between Master Zuoqiu and Meng Hanran, when he launched a fierce assault from the inner city gate, Meng Hanran’s side would coordinate by gathering over a thousand men to force an attack from the outer city gate.

Upon hearing this, Nolan straightened his expression and instinctively touched his neck. The skin there was discolored from a burn, forming a distinct mark shaped like a pendant or some similar ornament he might have once worn.

Even specialized combat mages rarely achieve this level of proficiency. It is no wonder that with Xiao Yi’s participation, the combat effectiveness of the Alchemist Division saw a qualitative leap.

Yang Yi did not care about the opinions of anyone present; he simply felt annoyed, and since he was annoyed, he naturally had to speak his mind.

Having said this, Wang Jiahe stopped and looked at Nakagawa Jiei, waiting for a response.

Xu Muqing looked deeply at Xiao Linye and said righteously, "Of course we must go together. Murong Ding is such a scoundrel for harming you so severely, nearly taking your life, and now he even wants to scheme against me. How could I not go and pay him a visit?"

Sinking beneath the water, his body began to rise again after a moment. During this interval, breathing ceased, everything around him stood still, and the only thing he could hear seemed to be his own heartbeat.

Having watched for less than a second, Squadron Leader Shiro Sano flew into a rage, jumping up and bellowing in fury.

She took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, her voice sounding aggrieved and hoarse as she explained how she had met Ji Yingyue at the jewelry shop, how Ji Yingyue had used honeyed words, and how the two of them had eventually gone to the Jade Nectar Tavern to eat and drink.

Hu Guang was not well-known among the various armies of the Wei State, but his reputation among the common people was immense. Wherever bandits or outlaws appeared, the Pacification Army would arrive, eliminating them in the shortest time possible. Because the Pacification Army did not harass the people and maintained strict military discipline, Hu Guang’s fame spread far and wide.

"Sneaking out has nothing to do with me anyway. If you are Tong Zhao’s disciple, you are welcome to stay here; there are empty rooms upstairs regardless."

Seeing the puzzled look on Katherine’s face, Bambi continued, "Right now, I presume Ye Zi must be the medic for Evelyn and her group—the kind that is kept as a prisoner."

Unable to grasp the logic of time, Sean had no time to ponder before a portal appeared behind him. A hand rested on his shoulder, and he was pulled inside.

The arrogant air of the men vanished as if a basin of cold water had been poured over them. How could they dare to attack now? Blades have no eyes; if they were actually hacked to death in a brawl, Tang Huizhu had the Emperor and Empress protecting her, so their deaths would be in vain, and no one would stand up for them.

Thus, Madam Liu was rushed to a medical clinic—strangely enough, whether by coincidence or because it was so conveniently located, despite there being so many clinics in Mianzhu County, she was sent to this one.

Occupying resources and attaining status are the only ways to fundamentally change one's own survival status and that of one's descendants. This is human nature; no matter the form of society, this nature never changes.

"Oppressive pressure?" At the thought of these words, Jin Shaoyun’s heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. "Could it be that the initial oppressive pressure was forced upon me by this person?" Although he did not understand how this was possible, he had heard of the existence of a 'Dog King.'

Regardless, she understood Benedict’s words. She became somewhat silent. As a soldier, Qin Shuiyan acknowledged the point, but she did not like the way the other party had phrased it.

I kept chanting in my heart that there are no ghosts in this world, no ghosts, and that what I just saw was merely an illusion. After chanting this for a long time, my heart finally calmed down, and I regained my courage. I felt that if someone gave me a condom at that moment, I would dare to rape the planet itself.

After traveling for a short while, another general charged out—none other than Hua Hu, the great general guarding Shouyang Pass. Hu Xie roared, leveled his spear, and met him head-on.

"Get out!" Zong Tianrui was burning with rage, venting all his fury upon Ye Chen.

"Do as you please, but... you must ensure we achieve final victory." I looked up, meeting Xiao Chen’s eyes with a firm gaze.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace secret guards are still in a stalemate with the Duke Protector’s men. It is estimated that neither side will be able to overcome the other for a while, but..." Li Jin stopped there.

He was dreaming of a beautiful future. Once Kang Yan wiped out Qin Hao and the others and achieved his goal, he would receive great rewards from Kang Yan and gain unimaginable benefits.

The Demon General Saint King was somewhat dazed. He had no idea who these people were or what their identities were, but even with his eyes closed, he knew their origins were extraordinary.

It was just as Ye Yun had guessed: the owner of this Flower Tomb was a close confidante of the Reincarnation Heavenly God and was practically Ye Yun’s mentor’s wife.

The two ended their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere. After washing up, they lay on the bed and chatted.
