Volume One, Chapter 38: The Peacemaker

The two individuals involved in the wager with Hongtian began to discuss the situation, their eyes filled with a trace of pity as they looked at him.

In broad daylight, and without the aid of binoculars, Ye Tian could easily spot human-sized targets at a distance of 2,500 meters.

"Thank you." She quickly brushed aside her momentary look of disappointment, breaking into a smile as she took the skewers and expressed her gratitude.

"What is going on? So much time has passed; why hasn't anyone come out?" Lie Yan frowned. Not only was there no sign of anyone emerging from Tongtian Peak, but even those who had failed and been teleported out early were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Lancelot drew his dagger and lightly grazed the face of the unfortunate drug lord. The sharp blade easily sliced through the skin, and blood began to stream down the wound like thin strands of noodles.

Regrettably, however, car sales in March were barely three million, and April only just managed to break the five-million mark.

"Hongtian, how could you..." Feixuan was also startled and wanted to call out a warning, but seeing Hongtian’s absolute concentration, she held her tongue.

Tohka’s eyes were wide with surprise. If the other person were also a Spirit, she would naturally feel a sense of affinity, much like she did with Yoshino. The Fraxinus, which was constantly monitoring Tohka’s emotions, had also heard Tokisaki Kurumi’s words; acting on a hunch, they investigated and discovered that she was indeed a Spirit.

In the heat of the recent battle, some of the Japanese soldiers and collaborators had been left severely wounded but not killed.

"Wait!? There's no time left!" Long Yun checked his watch. There were only fifteen minutes remaining. According to the mysterious informant, after fifteen minutes, those monitoring him would realize he had escaped once they lost contact with their surveillance team.

In order to keep pace with Qu and Shanyu, Wei Wuji ordered his entire army to advance at full speed, yet the heavy cavalry remained a significant constraint on the Wei army's mobility.

After all, in the original story, aside from the tragic reunion at Naruto's birth, this family of three never appeared together again.

Although he did not personally know this man, the fellow had been pestering Yang Weiwei constantly back at school, so Luo Hebin was not surprised to find him here looking for trouble.

That aura emanating from the soul is something that, no matter how many barriers stand in the way, lovers can always find in each other.

"You bear responsibility, but so do we. Now that things have reached this point, blaming anyone is meaningless. What we must do now is find a way to resolve this," Master Song said in a deep voice. Yet, he truly had no idea how to solve it.

Seeing Zhang Yifan look up, Qianru and the others followed his gaze to the sky, but they saw nothing. Qianru was about to make a sarcastic remark when Sister Hui nudged her with her elbow. Qianru started to ask what she was doing, only to notice that everyone else was looking at the sky with expressions of astonishment.

With just a cursory glance, a sense of immense joy washed over the faces of He Hu and his companions. Not daring to delay, they hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

The fiercely loyal Demon Saint Guiche, dragging his heavily wounded body, collapsed onto his knees before Lu Ya with a thunderous thud.

Kakashi created a shadow clone and, with Sora, followed Asuma and Kurenai to their home, while his true self returned to the Hokage building to report the situation to Tsunade.

In the center of the hall inside sat a massive wooden table, with various strange-looking members of the demon race seated on both sides. Although they had taken on human form, the clear marks of their bestial origins made it easy to recognize their true selves at a glance.

She retrieved from the cloakroom the local specialty gifted by the enthusiastic client: a monster's horn, absurdly large and impossible for an average person to lift steadily. Yet, in her hands, it was as easy and casual as picking up a glass of cold water from a table.

"I’ll kill you! You pervert!" While Tang Chuan was immersed in his grief, Fire Phoenix suddenly charged at the black-robed cultivator like a madwoman! A flush of unnatural crimson appeared on her delicate face, as if she had fallen into a state of delirium.

Xiao Li remained silent, letting out a heavy snort before closing his eyes and ignoring them. Li Qing glanced at the group and motioned for them to leave.

"You really are a dreamer. Let me tell you, if you want the spirit of the Nine Nether Treasure Pagoda to revive, don't even think about it without ten thousand living souls," said the Purple Gold Divine Dragon.

However, as Ye Ke took out her key to open the door, her heart suddenly began to pound violently.

Jiang Dashu and Li Jinyan looked back to see the newly awakened Ni Xin'er trying to rush over like a madwoman, only to be held back by Li Hongjing, who gripped her shoulders tightly. She waved her hands frantically in the air, her face covered in tears.

Xiao Li’s temperament was indeed remarkably resilient; even Li Qing had to admit it. With his hand and foot tendons severed by the longsword, Xiao Li lay limp on the ground, his eyes filled with malice as he struggled to lift his head to glare at Xu Panyan, as if he could kill the man with his gaze alone.

Wang Shishi had been traumatized, and though she felt as if she had been snatched from the jaws of death by Xiao Feng's sudden arrival, she simply watched him quietly, not interrupting.

General Dong, standing to the side, finally couldn't hold it in and burst into laughter. Tang Chuan forced himself to control his expression to avoid losing his composure, though his face had already turned beet red. Old Man Qingmu's words were truly devastating.

Fortunately, the hotel where the film crew was staying was not far from the Huafeng Gentlemen's Club, just a few minutes away by car.

He was not at all worried that these students would be overly competitive; on the contrary, if all the students were indifferent in the face of competition, that would be exactly what worried him most.

"Department Head Guo, has your company made a decision?" Alice asked hurriedly upon seeing Guo Fengchun.

When they met, Alba displayed great enthusiasm and brought Hu Shitan along to help bridge the gap between the two sides.

Kongtong Aohuo felt that was the most terrifying thing in the world—more terrifying than any monster or mist.
