As daylight gradually gave way to dusk, the setting sun burned the clouds crimson. Its glow cast a hint of sorrow over the silent battlefield.
Hawk Eyes emerged from the woods behind the castle, his body covered in wounds, passing through the broken walls and ruins mottled with light and shadow.
The moment he came out, he ran straight into Sanji, who had just finished a battle nearby and was rushing toward the woods.
"Mihawk, Hawk Eyes?!"
Seeing Hawk Eyes emerge from the woods, Sanji's eyes trembled. He charged forward in alarm—
Two seats stood side by side. Jiang Xing sat by the window, and beside him was, naturally, the tall, thin young man who looked underdeveloped.
After changing out of his imperial robes, Li Shimin recounted everything that had happened in the Golden Throne Hall to Empress Zhangsun in meticulous detail. As he spoke, he kept cursing Li Tai, calling him nothing but a walking disaster.
The Demon Race and humans were very different. Most demons were tall, dark-skinned, and hideously ugly, with a pair of black horns atop their heads.
At the sound, everyone looked over and saw that the flat-top man's head had been crushed flat beneath a horse's hoof, blood and brains splattered everywhere.
There was a force within the Butterfly Sand Sect that was targeting the Killing Sect. It had to be found—that was the only way to find Renyi. If things were indeed as he suspected, then what came next would be simple. He had been here for over a month; it was time to make his move.
"These pastries, fruit, and inkstone are all merely embellishments for these two things." Fourth Master casually pointed at the rewards before him.
By rights, someone completely controlled by their inner demon shouldn't be able to come to their senses again. It was like expecting someone who had been killed to come back to life. Yet Daoist Xia Yun had returned from the dead.
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ruoyin's nerve endings could no longer take it. She clung tightly to the man's neck with both hands, letting out a melodious, lilting cry.
What she truly wanted to hear was him telling her that he wouldn't treat her like someone else just because of another person, the way the Fourteenth Prince treated the Wanyan Clan.
Seeing how adamant she was, Elder Xie could only feel helpless. It was the first time he had seen Gu Qiulan so unyielding.
The cold mist dampened everything, and Lu Xueqing, already chilled by the cold, couldn't help shivering. He looked up at the blazing sun high above, yet felt an inexplicable chill.
Song Ziming helped her put on the ring, then eagerly pulled her into his arms. Too excited to speak, he kissed her on the lips.
"Mom's so angry because I went out with Uncle Song, right? If I'd gone out with Uncle Lin, Mom wouldn't be angry." An An said.
"They're up to no good. I think we should send all these disciples away," another instructor said.
Chen Han and the First Elder of the Chen Family, both Half-step Innate Grandmasters, immediately charged at Chen Xuanfeng with murderous force.
It took less than half a day to reach the confluence of the three rivers. Li Ergou only had to cross the main river channel to see the person he had longed for day and night.
The leaders of the sixteen major forces still remaining in the Hong Kong Martial Arts World had gathered in the main hall of the Taiyi Sect.
Westerners had always been open-minded. Even ordinary citizens would be looked down on if they were still virgins at eighteen, let alone someone of Conrad's status.
"The Nine Revolutions Exquisite Pagoda is a sacred artifact. It's perfectly normal for a Martial Saint to be inside. You'd be better off thinking about how to get the treasure in front of you!" Dragon Elder said indifferently.
"You're crying so ugly!" Gu Wu also thought it was best not to cry along with Fu Xi unless he was truly heartbroken.
The walrus briefly recounted what they had been through to Tiger Martial Emperor and the other Martial Emperors who were gradually gathering around. Knife Fish and Water Buffalo corroborated his story.
"I want to destroy this Birdcage. To do that, I'll have to use extremely forceful means—in other words, a ghoul."
"Haha... Li Xiuning, you're surrounded. Give up resisting and come quietly with us!" a military officer said with a loud laugh, holding a long saber.
