If the hearts of the people turned away, Cloudfirm City would be completely isolated, leading to its ultimate decline, and would inevitably be swallowed by the Fangtian Sect.
Due to the immense distance and the dead of night, it was difficult to observe further with the naked eye. When he activated the Eye of Truth and Warning, he found that the energy disturbances near the rift were far too violent. It only allowed him to perceive massive, blotchy clusters of energy, forcing him to abandon the attempt.
However, he was met with disappointment; even after a dozen seconds or so, Benin maintained her initial cold and aloof expression.
Looking at the steaming, dark liquid, Yu Zhe felt a bit curious, picked it up and took a sip. Finding it rather tasteless, he put it back down. Bogar, on the other hand, was sipping it with great relish, even pulling out a smoking rod-like object to take a puff, looking extremely content.
Later, Zhang Wei bought a batch of armor-piercing arrows for Xu Xiaona. Having seen someone selling them, he bought them on a whim. Xu Xiaona did not possess the "Arrow Forging" skill, so the arrows she used were always purchased from others; she would surely love these arrows that ignored 100 points of defense.
Elder Yuan nodded, which completely matched his conjectures. Naturally, he did not believe that Sword Sovereign Jianyuan had died at the hands of Xiao Cheng, especially since Sword Sovereign Jianyuan had left behind a final will before his death. Even so, many doubts still lingered in his mind.
Aside from Floating Cloud Rabbit, who was a military scion of the third generation, even Northern Wolf felt immense pressure. The title "Northwest Energy Crown Prince" alone was enough to impart a strong sense of oppression.
Yang He had done a marvelous job. Relying merely on the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver squeezed out from Emperor Chongzhen's own budget, he successfully pacified the rebellious mobs. In just a few short months, the situation in Shaanxi had stabilized.
A sound like leather being struck rang out, and a dazzling ball of fire burst forth from within the opponent's carriage. Golden flames ignited from the void, resplendent and bright. They met the fatty's great spear, and without pausing, the flames rapidly raced up along the shaft toward the fatty's hands.
After murmuring to himself and pondering the complex situation, Yu Zhe closed his eyes to rest, preparing to restore his energy to peak condition, until a subtle vibration from his alarm woke him up. It had begun.
"A map? How can such an item be sold casually? It concerns the safety of the entire Spirit Clan," Liuguang frowned, clearly expressing strong disapproval of this proposal.

Lin Hao did not rush into the deep, dark cave where Tony Stark was imprisoned, but instead headed toward the encampment in the valley.
If the Crown Prince did not show his face today, how could a mere Crown Princess and an eunuch enter the palace to see the Emperor? They probably wouldn't even be able to find out how the Emperor was actually doing.
Over the years, Master Qi had been secretly working for the Emperor, keeping a good number of hidden guards by his side, every single one of them possessing exceptional martial arts skills.
Carol looked at the global panoramic map scanned by the spacecraft—the territory of China was completely blank, showing as unable to be scanned, while the territory of America was dotted with numerous ruins. She fell silent for a long while.
Yet compared to this despicable spectacle, the uncertainty of Richard's hand placement was the greatest challenge of this operation.
"You and she are of the same family, naturally wading in the same cesspool," remarked a potbellied man, his hatred for Chen Yanrun and Chu Yixin evidently reaching its absolute limit.
Since these items were destined for the Friendship Store and the Overseas Chinese Store, she had to ensure there were no flaws whatsoever; otherwise, no one would come out of it looking good.
Riba stayed until the very end, sharing an affectionate embrace with Naza, and spoke to her with utmost sincerity.
Yet she was filled with curiosity: what on earth was wrong with the Crown Princess inside? Why did her voice convey both a sense of pain and an overflowing of pleasure? It was truly baffling.
However, Jidu Luohou was inherently an enemy of Hongjun and bore the identity of a Chaos Demon God. How could the Heavenly Dao Hongjun willingly allow him an opportunity to grasp at the position of the Heavenly Emperor? Thus, he hoped the Seven Sages would proactively respond and, under the pressure of Jidu Luohou, select a Heavenly Emperor.
Njord also burst into laughter: "Outsider, why don't you take a look at yourself?" His expression achieved a god-like synchronization with Altar's just a moment ago.

The Eighth Business Department had been established for less than a year, and the most senior employee in the department had not even worked there for a full twelve months. As for Tang Xiao, the manager, he was a newcomer who had joined the company just five months ago. For such a brand-new department to achieve notable results was extremely difficult.
That body resembled a withered tree that had been dead for tens of thousands of years, its exterior covered in rough, cracked skin of an unknown texture. The limbs, however, were like soft, flexible snake-skin tubes, capable of extending and retracting freely. Gradually, sharp angles began to form, as if the body were also growing blades. Upon closer inspection, they were actually square-shaped—four sides to a single body, resembling a square pillar.
Lacking an alchemy furnace for the time being, Tang Xiao instead used a precisely electrically controlled pressure cooker. The temperature and pressure inside the cooker were kept constant. After setting the parameters, he tossed the ginseng inside. A single ginseng root like this was worth anywhere from two hundred thousand to four hundred thousand, but not daring to put everyone's in all at once, Tang Xiao decided to test it with a single root first.
"Truly a fine piece of jade!" Tang Xiao had previously felt a pang of regret, wondering if spending over twenty million to buy a jade plate was too exorbitant.
After all, she genuinely loved music, rather than being driven by a fleeting impulse to become a star and chase a brilliant, glamorous future simply because she possessed a good singing voice.
In the past, Mango TV had several blockbuster dramas that even broke ratings of 8 and 10, but those were from many years ago. Nowadays, Mango TV's peak ratings barely reached around 3.
Wang Ke said that if he didn't come, he would bring Mu Shihan along to visit old classmates at Liaoshi Affiliated High School.
