Chapter 2470: The Most Familiar Stranger

The sounds of clashing voices, busy cooking, and boisterous greetings from bustling relatives filled the air during the celebratory feast. Lively discussions eventually settled into harmonious conversations.

A woman along the scenic path observed the auspicious landscape. Amidst the rustic mountain setting, the sounds of cooking and hurried congratulations filled the air, as people began to move and arrive, perhaps through challenging terrain.

Some individuals, though outwardly refined, carried an air of weariness. Their actions were decisive and resolute, born of intense effort and meticulous preparation, observed by their companions. Amidst the joyous sounds of celebration, there was an underlying sense of a momentous, perhaps sacrificial, event being prepared.

Then, a swift, ceremonial moment...

He had arrived at the Nine Profound Palace earlier than expected, but only met his own son on this, the day of his wedding.

"Your master is looking for you this time, likely because of the corpse you brought back previously," Gui Chou whispered.

Yun Xiu exerted force on his finger, and slowly, blood seeped from the wound, dripping onto the ground.

Song Yanyan thought of Grandpa Huo. *That's right,* she told herself, *I absolutely cannot be soft-hearted now; I cannot let my previous efforts be in vain.* With this thought, Song Yanyan resolutely pulled her hand from Huo Shangning's grasp. It had not been held very tightly to begin with, and now, with just a little effort, she was able to break free.

She harbored intense resentment. Why did An Qingyan, having committed the error himself, use it to torment her? Would it have been better if he had said nothing at all?

"Today, you'll be facing many large companies and business elites. Don't be discouraged by this; you are the best!" Tan Zhongzheng encouraged Xia Junlin. She was the most outstanding employee of the Tan Group, and he believed she would surely deliver a great surprise.

"That's right, you've guessed correctly. What she's about to write is indeed 'not suitable for children' material."

Upon seeing this, Feng Ji frowned. His body instantly shot skyward, and he then unleashed several sharp, arrow-like beams of light, surging aggressively towards Yi Shuilan.

Now that Raymond had discovered him, the outside was likely heavily guarded. Yuan Futu was trapped here, truly unable to escape even if he had wings. He planned to first bypass the stone platform to the other side, using the rolling thick smoke to conceal his movements as much as possible, and then find an escape route through the arched openings.

Yang Jinxin lowered her head, feeling her heart pound. She nodded gently and then heard Huo Donglai's gentle voice.

For the next few days, Chen Tian continued to do the same thing tirelessly. The family remained busy as usual, and the young people were all engrossed in their cultivation. During this period, Li Qi visited once, and it was obvious why. Chen Tian put him off, claiming he was busy cultivating martial arts and that the special training would have to wait.

"Captain, we don't have much ammunition left! What do we do now?" a team member couldn't help but ask.

Yang Jinxin stared blankly at her, her mind completely empty. Then, scenes from the past began to play out like a movie in her mind.

I presumed these two quiet police officers had told me because they witnessed my devotion. At the time, I wondered if they would have shared so much information if they had known Fang Ting's true identity.

Guan Yu had initially intended to persuade the Governor of Hejian to surrender, but after being fiercely reprimanded by Governor Shen, he had no choice but to prepare for a siege.

After a screeching of brakes, the car stopped at the entrance of the church hospital. Before it had even settled, the door swung open, and Qin Muyang, dressed in an iron-grey military uniform, strode quickly into the hospital.

No sooner had Gui Ji's words fallen than a sharp crack echoed from behind, followed by whimpers from within the main hall. Wang Yan's brow instantly furrowed.

Seeing Yang Jinxin constantly turning her head to look at her unfinished painting, Qin Muyang felt a surge of frustration. Unable to bring himself to blame her, he turned his head and called out loudly.

"Cheng Jun, do you believe His Majesty treats me with such consideration simply because we knew each other in childhood?" He was unsure, wondering if he only received so much admiration because of Liu Bingyi's trust.

"Sigh," Xu Renguang murmured, letting out a sigh. Not knowing what to say, he watched the two individuals walk into the station, their figures gradually disappearing. He shook his head and turned to leave.

Di He spoke these words with a smile, yet Nan He detected a hint of weariness in his tone.

"Are you truly thinking that way, intending to fight to the death for a chance at new life?" He Haikuo walked over to Ye Tianyi, patted his shoulder, and asked.

If she were to use it, he might consider lending it. However, if it were for someone he did not know at all, he would be completely unwilling.

"The European Union Fleet, North American Union Fleet, South American Union Fleet, and African Union Fleet have already occupied the four sea regions of the Free Empire," Zhao Hao stated, rising to his feet. "It seems they could launch a full-scale attack on the Free Empire at any moment."

Zhong Wuqi watched the departing figures of the few people, remaining silent for a long time, as if he had suddenly aged considerably.

The arm-thick black iron chains beneath his feet extended as far as the eye could see, continuously interweaving to form a network of cross-shaped iron bars.

In Sanya, China's southernmost mainland city, what unique experiences awaited this pair?

Luo Wusheng slowly fanned herself with a paper fan as she strolled leisurely towards the carriage rental area. On her way, she also intended to carefully observe the daily lives of the common people in this era, curious to see how it compared to modern times.

"We are about to begin the punishment for the losers," the staff announced. Each of them then drew a large machete and rushed forward, striking Yu Kang, who had not yet recovered his senses, to the ground with a single blow.

However, Dengfeng Pass was now blocked by Cao Hong, who had suddenly emerged. The common people could no longer use the main road between their two camps to escape towards Wulongkou in Bingzhou. Since their lord wished to help the populace, his mission was to open this passage and ensure the people could pass through safely.

In other words, even a King Realm powerhouse might not necessarily gain entry into the War Dao Sect. And even if one did, the difficulty of becoming a core disciple of the War Dao Sect was self-evident.

On that day, Chen Rong departed so abruptly that people didn't have time to panic, as Wang Hong had already sent someone to explain her departure. However, while *they* weren't flustered, the people of Jiankang City were deliberately searching for her. Even His Majesty had sent inquiries twice.

Consequently, after the immortal gathering had been held for half a month, Er Qing had already mastered most of the Heavenly Star transformations and even learned a few of the Earthly Fiend transformations. Even the incantations were perfectly clear to him.

However, these collision sounds did not last for very long. After the fiery clouds and the white pillar of light had collided nearly thirty times, the fiery clouds' intensity was noticeably weaker than that of the white pillar. The fiery red that had initially covered the entire South Pole slowly receded until, finally, the entire sky was filled with white light, and the red had vanished.
