Chapter 52: A Man of His Word

At this moment, a yellow and a white figure silently descended upon two perilous peaks at the summit of the mountain. Separated by a distance of some tens of zhang, the razor-sharp cliffs were so sheer that they offered barely enough space for a pair of human feet to stand upon.

After a thorough examination, Stephen was sent to the South Texas Medical Center, where a specialist in foot injuries conducted yet another checkup. To Stephen's surprise, the doctor informed him that there were certain underlying health risks hidden within his feet and advised him to pay close attention to the issue.

Repeating his old trick, Wang Dao suddenly unleashed his primordial spirit power. Time and orchard seemed to freeze; formless and intangible, it left no room for escape.

There was no other choice. Reno's public identity was currently that of a Coordinator, meaning only Orb and PLANT could offer him sanctuary in this world.

Twelve eerie, white bone-jade talismans suddenly separated and stationed themselves in various spots, faintly forming the shape of a bizarre magical array.

Seeing that Muyi had personally stated he would no longer pursue the matter of Han Xuemei possessing the Profound Ice Jade Tome, everyone understood tacitly and felt little surprise.

Mom glanced unintentionally at the list in Reno's hand, and a particular weapon listed there caught her attention.

Standing at the peak of Blood Yin Mountain, she gazed toward the northwest with a serene and peaceful expression, her thoughts at that moment completely unreadable.

With a deafening explosion, the surging, towering waves were cleaved right down the middle by a purple-gold crescent blade, splitting left and right before shattering and dispersing with a roar.

Huangfu Jiang had not expected that Liu Sisi would truly dare to air this matter, especially now that she lacked the protection of the Ji family. Such an act was no different than throwing an egg against a rock, leaving him utterly at a loss for how to retort at this moment.

Yet, Zhang Chu had no wish to harm Li Jiaojiao. At that moment, Zhang Chu felt like a stray lamb, having lost all sense of direction and his own existence.

Expecting pitch-black darkness below, everyone had already braced themselves to plunge into the abyss. To their surprise, however, not only was the cavern not dark, but the soil on the cave walls was tightly packed and smoothed, as though it had been meticulously polished.

Magic has always been an equivalent exchange between the wizard and the world. Whatever you possess is what you receive, and anything beyond that will inevitably exact a price from you.

Leng Lingyun looked at him with a puzzled expression, utterly unable to guess what he was trying to convey.

Her grandfather was watching her affectionately from not far away. Seeing the radiant smile on her face, so endearing and lovely, filled him with immense joy.

He surely could not have anticipated that his loose tongue would lead to such severe consequences, but I had to act this way. If I failed to establish rules even for matters of this magnitude, I truly would not be worthy of carrying this banner.

The following morning, though reluctant to leave Ye Shanshan, I feared arousing suspicion from her mother, so I ate breakfast and headed back to school. Upon arrival, I first called Ye Shanshan to let her know I had arrived safely, and then spent the time doiling away in the dormitory.

Half an hour later, the examination for three-star alchemists concluded. Aside from Yue Tong, who had already received her badge earlier, over eighty others successfully earned the qualification of three-star alchemist.

She simply read the text message and offered no reply, having made up her mind. What, then, was left for me to hesitate about?

Avoiding the gaze, Fu Lang looked at Yang Shulin’s face. It was expressionless and chillingly cold, as if he did not know him at all.

From far away, Sada spotted Jiang Feng's figure standing right at the very center of the camp, while the former Lord of Mozhou, Aloy, stood slightly behind and to his side.

One should always pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. Rather than facing enemies from both front and rear, it was better to take a calculated risk and pluck out the thorn in one's back first.

Shortly after, several others also realized that the air was poisonous and quickly produced antidote pills to ingest, while some directly used their spiritual energy to force the poison out of their bodies.

At that very moment, the invisible hands clutching the chests of the villagers from the two settlements seemed to vanish. They were finally able to breathe again.

After exchanging so many words with Seser, whatever lingering nausea or churning discomfort remained in Yin Xinmei's stomach vanished instantly at the sight of the sumptuous delicacies before her.

"Then I must thank you, First Brother. Since work is resuming shortly anyway, I'll just stay at my parents' place; it's a hassle to run back and forth!" In truth, Zhou Yingying was extremely eager to visit her maternal home, but with Zheng Tian absent, she had felt too embarrassed to suggest it.

At first, she was nearly frightened out of her wits, believing she was dreaming. When it happened several more times afterward, she could only find a place to hide whenever she transformed into a cat, waiting until she shifted back.

The northern city wall was already damaged, and now it faced a tenfold enemy force. A slight miscalculation could result in the rebels breaching the city within an hour.

Four aircraft carriers were scattered across the sea surface, sailing at full speed against the wind, maintaining a distance of about three nautical miles from one another.

"Hmph, mere shrimp soldiers and crab generals. You lot are actually worthy of wielding the power of the Asura Realm? It is an absolute insult to it," Zhujiuyin sneered, glaring at the trembling desolate wolves.

After Ma Feifei unleashed her formidable fury, the surroundings instantly quieted down. Within a ten-meter radius, not a single male creature remained, and even Wei Wuji, who had been raring to go just moments before, hesitated uncertainly.

Sister Miaoling seemed to have had her fill of exploring the Merfolk Kingdom, as she grabbed my hand and glanced at Bai Ze.

"Then tell me, what should these noble consorts do? Accommodate you? What about the ministers outside? Is this how you plan to report to His Majesty?" the Empress demanded angrily, firing question after question. Regardless of the truth, it undoubtedly boiled down to a mutual betrayal and harm between the two of them.

Ge'er leaped onto Sangji Xinhrao's back, and the three of them vanished into thin air, instantly fleeing far into the distance.

This was the first time Jiang辰 (Jiang Chen) learned anything about the true nature of his master, Sovereign Cangqiong. As for why his master had never mentioned anything back in Crocodile Valley all those years ago, the reasons behind it were likely known to him alone.
