Chapter 2462: Era

After they washed up, both lay down in bed. Qi Lianchen, as was his habit, turned his back to Qingyi.

Ouyang Hongyu gazed at the zither in front of her. Though utterly exhausted, her mind was a jumble of thoughts, leaving her with no desire to sleep. She rose, paced to the window, and stood with her hands clasped behind her back. After a moment, she calmly said, “Thankfully, the Emperor is resting in the Qinxin Palace today; otherwise...” She then couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath.

With bloodshot eyes, Yan Lin soared towards the shattered West City Gate. His battle energy surged, and his fierce roar was laced with incomparable malevolence.

As he spoke, he began to weep. Of course, thinking more deeply, he couldn't afford to cause any further commotion. His brother-in-law advised, “Why are you crying? This will only add to your elder brother's grief.”

Yang Cuihua screamed in terror, her eyes rolled back, and white foam frothed from her mouth, as if she were having an epileptic seizure. But I knew with one look that it wasn't epilepsy; she was possessed.

Jin Yu nodded and went down with Jin Tong, Jin Zhou, and Jin Feng. They wanted to see if the underground world of the Gu family's residence was as complex as the one above ground.

See? Now *that's* a true 'Phoenix Master.' When it comes to commanding these shapeshifting beasts, she's even more powerful than the actual owner.

A damp, eerie chill permeated the old house, yet it felt cool. Despite the scorching heat, Liu Pa was still wearing a padded jacket.

“Father, this is wonderful!” Yi Yingbo had been frightened by the incessant demands of the young ladies from Jinan Prefecture. Although he hadn't let them succeed, his daily routine had been completely disrupted, making his life quite miserable.

In early September of the first year of Zhangwu, Shu Han, Emperor Liu Bei of the Great Han raised a force of seventy thousand Sichuan troops at Baidi City, advancing by both land and water. This combined with the forty thousand troops from Jingxiang under General Zhengdong Guan Ping, making a total of one hundred and ten thousand soldiers, boasted as two hundred thousand, who then moved downriver, pressing directly towards Jiangxia.

Su Yuche suspected there was something wrong with his ears. Just mentioning Gu Anxing's tragic experience made him clench his teeth in anger. Now Gu Anxing actually wanted to take care of the very culprit, making him want to knock some sense into her.

Let him look if he wants; she didn't believe that if Long Shaoyan wanted to hide something, Long Haoran could find anything. After all, Long Shaoyan had hidden things right beside Long Yuechen for twenty-two years.

“We don't focus on the process, only the outcome,” Mo Li chuckled. “The outcome is that you agree, and with you acting as a decoy, she will be deceived and then enter the palace.”

“What good news?” Su Ruhui pushed him away, gathered her completely unbound long hair, and asked curiously.

However, estimating the distance with his eyes, he realized they were not within handgun range. He then quietly thought, “If only I had a sniper rifle, it would be much easier to take these guys out one by one. But acquiring a sniper rifle now is nothing short of a pipe dream.” Still, Guan Jinlin's fondness for sniper rifles remained fresh in his memory.

At this moment, Lu Mingduan, draped in a kasaya, was like a tiger wearing prayer beads, feigning compassion, as he put his hands together and uttered 'Amitābha.'

From the moment she finished her morning studies, Su Jinxi spent the entire morning reading military memorials. In the afternoon, she was continuously discussing important military affairs with several generals.

Even this ancient divine artifact felt threatened. Its body plunged directly into the ground with a resounding 'bang,' and the concrete on the surface shattered into countless flying debris.

“Don't be polite with me; get in the car.” After saying that, Luo An gently put his arm around Yaya's shoulder and walked towards the car.

Noticing the halo being obstructed, Xiao Yan's eyes grew slightly cold. His battle energy surged out overwhelmingly from within him, completely pouring into the dark halo. The Great Heaven's Creation Palm was a Heaven-tier Dou Technique, possessing infinite power. Unless one's strength far surpassed Xiao Yan's, trying to withstand it head-on would be a joke.

After annihilating Chu, pacifying Han, and subjugating Qi, the state of Yue had seized control of the entire realm, and King Yin Xu of Yue became the supreme hegemon. In spring, he devised a brilliant strategy, thoroughly defeating the Xiongnu, and Yin Xu's prestige reached an unprecedented height.

“Mom, let me interrupt you for a moment! Your idea is quite enlightening, but I have another idea here; listen to this!” Su Xing, hearing Tang Yawen describe the funeral arrangements with such flair—even things that couldn't be called mere tricks—felt an itch to interject.

Hehe, do you think you can escape? Will I let you get away? Don't even think about it; whether it's one or two of you, or all of you, stay right here. Otherwise, how will you ever escape me?

After comparing these locations on the map, it was discovered that they were not temple, shrine, or ancestral hall ruins at all, nor were they the remains of the governmental offices of Qionglong Silver City. Instead, they resembled inns, or even brothels—places of entertainment. Naturally, they held little value for investigation.

As a necromancer, Bavlis had naturally been here before. Hearing Hall's inquiry, he quickly nodded and replied.

Watching Niu Da grapple with the armored zombie, Li Tianming, lying on the ground, knew in his heart that the power disparity was immense. Niu Da wouldn't last half a minute before being beaten to a pulp.

From the elevator, Wei Chen, leveraging the convenience of his supernatural ability, could directly pass through the wall into the elevator shaft and then climb up along the elevator.

“There isn't just one type of energy here, but two, perfectly integrated,” Three-Foot Sword stated his guess. “If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Qi of Yin and Yang.”

He lacked neither shrewdness nor loyalty. Hall simply wanted to see if he had the courage to face enemies. If he only possessed the former, then O'Lade would be treated as merely a servant or a butler in the future.

After consuming the Earth Fire, the True Fire's aura instantly surged, and its dazzling red glow illuminated the entire room in a crimson hue.

I abruptly drew the dagger from my waist, holding it defensively in front of me, terrified that the massive weasel might suddenly cast a demonic spell and transform into something horrifying.

Before Gu Xu could speak, Su Yang had already poured a drink into Gu Xu's cup, wearing an expression that clearly sought praise.

“Alright, as long as you let him go, I'll give you anything you want.” Qin Xunyan nodded and agreed immediately, with almost no hesitation.

Ye Feng had always held no fondness for the Japanese pirates. After all, as someone from a later generation, he clearly knew how much harm this exceptionally wild nation would inflict upon his homeland over the considerable period to come.

“The hidden compartment is only this small; I estimate that not everything was taken. There must be other places where things are hidden,” Mu said, squinting his eyes.

As soon as he approached his grandfather, the strong smell of blood intensified, mixed with a foul stench of urine and feces, making it nauseating.

Large red lanterns hung high, a red carpet stretched from the entrance to the very end, firecrackers exploded in unison, and guests arrived en masse.
