Although the nightly curfew was in effect, lights could be seen throughout the capital. Inns and similar establishments were especially brightly lit, as scholars prepared for the examinations taking place the next day. The examination hall had long since been cleaned, and today, the specially appointed officials responsible for proctoring had moved in; they would be required to live and eat within the confines of the hall for the duration of the three upcoming exams.

The market was not crowded. It was not a market day, merely a few early risers buying meat and vegetables.

It is said that the "Step of Yu" evolved from the arrangement of the Big Dipper and was allegedly created by Yu the Great. When Yu traveled everywhere to control the floods, he became so exhausted that he developed a limp, which is why the footwork mimics the gait of a lame man.

Li Tianyang was not surprised by this, nor did he intend to correct it or investigate who the girl's lover truly was. Regardless, in the end, whoever was supposed to surface would naturally reveal themselves.

The Emperor had treated the Marquis of Xintong well, so it was only reasonable for the Marquis to return upon hearing of this incident. Ning Zhaoge knew that the Marquis had once been on good terms with Ning Zhiyuan, so he ordered Xiong Huaiyuan to lead a detachment to intercept him and inquire about the situation clearly.

This was truly a good thing. If nothing else, the two Golden Glory cards, "Jaina Proudmoore" and "Grommash Hellscream," had taken him a great deal of effort to summon piece by piece. It would be a pity to let them become obsolete without ever being used; naturally, being able to upgrade them to 3 stars was excellent.

The colossal green wood, covered in countless vines, crashed down like a dragon, instantly swallowing Zhao Wuhen whole.

As the capital of China, the Imperial City gathered nearly 90% of the nation's top elites and nearly 30% of its elite military forces.

This gave Ye Feng a fright. He had to know that the curse he left inside the Ghost Host was meant to monitor it; if it harbored any evil intentions, the seal would erupt, causing its soul to scatter and perish.

The faceless head remained a bloody mess, the gore appearing as if it were still dripping. The two protruding eyeballs seemed to glare at Ye Feng, making his heart race with unease.

This completely shattered the status quo. If they could grasp this opportunity, it would be the perfect chance to resolve the Star Beast catastrophe.

With the retired Emperor Tianyan acting as a living testimonial, the Emperor of Daxi was determined to secure the divine medicine in Ao Yu's possession.

"He is a man who hides his true self," Tiger Sister stated clearly. When she had spoken to Jiang Yi about Z previously, Jiang Yi had not shown the slightest flaw.

For several full years, he had not spoken a single word, as if his ability to speak had atrophied.

Next, Li Huamei's two warships unfurled their sails and turned, heading toward the target that Yun Zhonghe had pointed out on the sea chart.

The two held each other quietly, both feeling the warmth brought by the other; this was the most profound memory they shared.

He had been coiled by the giant python for two or three minutes. It was fortunate he was rather stout at the moment, providing enough cushioning, otherwise his bones would surely have been crushed.

"Sigh, it is all because your father has been working away for years, so it is only natural that Xin'er has not seen me for so long." The father's figure was tall and imposing, and he was very efficient in all he did.

With the two prime ministers arguing, Quan Ce went with the flow, kicking the ball back to them while quietly waiting for Empress Wu to make her move.

Jing Fanxing's expression changed drastically. He had originally thought that Ning Jiang had chosen him as a breakthrough point because he wanted to cooperate with him to escape alive.

"As expected of Shimura-kun!" Akimichi Choza exclaimed after rubbing his eyes with his fleshy palms.

What were trenches or cheval-de-frise? All defensive fortifications were insignificant to hundreds of terrifying giant beasts.

At this moment, the Dao Master of Qingxuan appeared to them like a god. The overwhelming aura that made the very heavens change color left no one without fear. Many with weaker cultivation levels knelt directly on the ground, trembling.

She could feel a pair of burning eyes, filled with hidden agendas, stealing glances at her body. Gu Xuan did not mind; on the contrary, she puffed out her chest and cast a playful look that said, "You can look, but you can't touch—die of desire."

Gu Lie spoke up from the side. It was unclear what channel he used, but he had been in contact with the Gu family throughout these days, arranging both supplies and personnel assistance in an orderly fashion.

Two grown men also ran over to help. Helping was a good thing, but the problem was not knowing who to assign the tasks to.

"I'm going to commit robbery," Bai He muttered with a huff, thinking that he didn't know what kind of nonsense that old woman had been filling Sympathia's head with while he was away for all these years. If she changed her heart and cuckolded him, how could he swallow that insult?

The Green Dragon could breathe poisonous mist, a technique that ignored defense and poisoned the enemy, possessing great attack power.

As the power of the thunder poured down, the phantom of the Overlord slowly turned solid. An emperor wearing a thunderous crown and clad in robes of lightning appeared in the great hall. As the emperor opened his eyes, arcs of lightning swirled within them, majestic and imposing.

Upon hearing the man's words, Zhan Wuxu felt a sense of inexplicable sorrow, but after hearing Mo Wuya's words, he suddenly thought of a place. The two spoke in unison: "The Kong Mansion." They rushed off immediately.

Huangpu Yuzhu suddenly swept aside the carriage curtain, revealing a peerless face. Watching Li Jian, who was immersed in the mood of his song, she could not help but be entranced. With the melody being so lingering and gentle, and Li Jian singing with such deep emotion from his own experience, Huangpu Yuzhu was truly heartbroken.

This was almost the absolute limit of his outburst. The consumption of spiritual energy within his body was terrifying; with a single strike, he had exhausted nearly 20% of his power, leaving less than 60% remaining.
