The Imperial Guard and the National Defense Force were the main forces of the Empire's army, and all their units were at full strength—unlike the reserve units, where a division had at most thirty percent of its troops.
Aside from guiding missile strikes, our response times for things like calling in fire support were always slower than in training, arriving several seconds later than the time Tyrant had specified.
Seeing Bai Ze deliberately feign ignorance, Morgana couldn't help giving the two of them a strange look. Still, she maintained her earlier aloof demeanor and said nothing.
"It's fine. We'll wait. Go ahead and take care of your business." Madam Li had a very good impression of everyone at the Qin Clinic. She felt that everyone here was kindhearted.
As a True Immortal at the peak, his every move not only escaped the constraints of the world's order, but even drew aid from heaven and earth.
Then why were they all working themselves to the bone to raise their status levels? Joseph looked at the expressions of the people behind him. No one looked as though they agreed, which showed that status levels still mattered.
Even the Sect Master fell silent. He couldn't see how Su Ting had turned the tables and won, but he knew that Su Ting was truly no less formidable than Ge Zhengxuan.
Yang Zheng raised his wine bowl to the other man, then tipped his head back and drained it. Jiang Hanxing refused to be outdone and downed a bowl as well.
"Where's that pouch? Aside from the things you took out back then, we haven't been able to open it again since." Shen Qiu looked at Zhao Zihang, having seen him use a storage pouch before.
"How are Leng and Lingxi doing right now?" After hearing the report from the angel Kayla, Kesha immediately asked her. She was clearly still worried about how Angel Leng and the others were faring on Earth.
"It's fine!" Meng Niang caught Xuan Junyao by the wrist and gently shook her head, hoping she wouldn't say anything.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the living room, but Cheng Donglin felt rather aggrieved. How had all these girls managed to blame him for what happened last time? He was a victim too, wasn't he? Of course, Cheng Donglin had to admit that he had indeed gotten the better end of things during that incident in the restroom.
He would rather something happen to him than to his son. If he couldn't cure his son, he really would take those people's heads.
For two days, Nangong Lie, the Old Princess, and several princes and princesses from the palace kept appearing in front of Xia Beibei, trying every now and then to stir up some trouble.
It wasn't that Lord Zun had impure thoughts. It was just that Cang Sheng's disheveled clothes and messy hair were liable to make anyone's mind wander.
The light gradually softened, and Cheng Donglin could see the land, the mountains and rivers, and the vast, surging sea.
Afraid that the damn fatso would cause more trouble, Long Xiao simply used his Illusory Shadow technique to whisk the whole bunch of troublemakers away.
Of course, blood-light skills that attacked Divine Souls, like the one Hu Gao had mastered, still worked, since they weren't considered attribute-based powers.
Just as he was about to order his guards to ambush Xia Beibei on the way, the guard added, "Situ Yulong and Hua Qian are going with her as well."
Unwilling to look at the pair of eccentrics before him any longer, Kang Ba picked up his Long Spear and left to inspect the troops.
Entering the main hall, the Shu County governor, Li Qing, sat high at the head of the hall without speaking. Instead, he looked toward the peerlessly elegant Luan Yu, seated below Li Qing. Seeing the governor's unmistakable hint, the clever Luan Yu took the excuse of having business to attend to and tactfully left the hall before Li Qing could speak.
"Ming Lei, I'm curious. What are these two kinds of worlds like—the one that gives rise to two, and the one that gives rise to three?" Lu Xuexin asked curiously.
"Alas, it seems I just wasn't blessed with that kind of luck!" He shook his head with a sigh, then turned and strode away without looking back.
The purple-robed elder furrowed his brow. He had sensed those three ghost cultivators in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm too. Their cultivation was at least at the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. Ghost cultivators like them had varied and unpredictable methods and were extremely difficult to deal with. Perhaps they were the variable in all this. Unfortunately, the Fire Source Pearl was indeed more or less dispensable to the Purple Bamboo Holy Land.
A quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man in a Duyu's military uniform, whose build was nothing to write home about, appeared before the officials in the great hall. The moment Li Qing recognized his face, his gaze sharpened slightly. This middle-aged Duyu was none other than the man who had helped him out of a tight spot at Chang'an's western gate the day before.
"Could we take advantage of Zhang Chu's main force being away to retake East River and Lushun?" Huang Taiji was deeply uncomfortable with having a huge thorn in his side.
Likewise, Wang Lie, who had made the move, was momentarily stunned by Qin Mu's actions. Then a flicker of delight appeared in his eyes. If Qin Mu had let Mu Yuehan take action, he might have found it troublesome, but now the man had stepped forward himself, plainly intending to face the three of them alone.
"I know this is asking a lot, but right now, you may be the only ones who can deal with them." Bai Mu gave a wry smile, a little awkward. In this alliance, Qin Mu and the others would have to face the most troublesome opponents.
