Luoyang, the center of the world, yet also a battleground fraught with conflict. What can Zhu Changxun and Li Zicheng use to defend Luoyang? And if they are defeated by the Han army, even if they manage to escape, this failure will deal a heavy blow to those still harboring fantasies about the previous dynasty.

“What my brother said is right; we can’t just rely on the emperor’s decree, waiting for the vague news from him. After all, someone wants to ruin my marriage with Mingxuan, and I can’t let that person feel at ease,” Zijing said coldly as she clenched her hands. Since she was going all out, she wanted to see who would come out on top.

Princess Catherine opened her mouth but then waved her hand and said nothing further; her lack of interest in dressing up today was also because of this matter.

“Don’t be too sad. There’s a saying: Throughout history, how many have returned from battle? For a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the best fate. As for your family’s situation, I can only say it’s unfortunate,” Gu Changsheng said, standing up and patting Han Qiu’s shoulder, the intention of his comfort evident.

Thus, Luo Jue knew she hadn’t made a mistake; indeed, she should not have relied on Qi Heng, and luckily, she hadn’t expected anything from him.

Shu Wan’s eyes reddened as she rolled up her sleeves and headed to the kitchen. Ever since the Liu family moved into the Mu family, she had rarely cooked, but today she was pulling out all the stops to prepare a feast for everyone.

Meow Meow snapped back to reality, instinctively walking over but after a few steps, she remembered to glance back at Xize.

But he was truly afraid, more so than before. He knew that after his grandmother’s personal upbringing, once she passed away, he would be the next to die. No matter how mature he seemed, he was still just a nine-year-old child, and in the face of death, it was inevitable to lose his composure.

During the meal, a table that previously seated four people had to be expanded to accommodate around twenty.

“Understood, does the branch company in Yun City also need it?” came a question from Bai Changan on the other end of the phone.

As soon as the words fell, Gong Han and the others rushed across the street without hesitation, but although they avoided the enemies on the west side, their actions were still noticed by the enemies across the street. While they could not attack immediately, they were already on guard.

“Damn it, what the hell is going on?” The insect-controlling man frowned, about to release a reconnaissance insect when he noticed someone approaching and quickly retreated.

Five purple blood dragons scattered to surround their prey from above; their forms were not yet in sight when their long tentacles had already reached down.

Yu Qing’s eyes lit up in disbelief; such terrifying power was beyond his comprehension.

“I’ve seen the match you’re talking about; it was too strong—ten shots, instant headshots on eight, no one within two hundred meters should approach,” said the bespectacled commentator immediately.

The four had not undergone a day of training; they were merely flesh and blood, unable to withstand a divine blow.

The captain of the HHRTH team, Eagle Eye, was a slender but handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes. His high nose elevated his aura several levels; Chen Feng and the others had to admit that Eagle Eye was indeed very handsome.

“What we need to do is to publicly support Sword Sky Island in acquiring that ancient cultivation cave; when they are at a disadvantage, we can provide some assistance, but we absolutely cannot let the ancient cultivation cave fall entirely into Sword Sky Island's hands!” Li Jiangting continued.

Every word from Sun Zhiqiu struck Chen Zihan like a steel knife, causing her heart to ache.

And I still have great confidence in your current strength! Apart from that Yue Bing in the Emei Sword Sect, no one among the younger generation can compare to you…” Master Xuan Zhen still had some reservations about his disciple, reminding him again and again.

The cold light in Dong Jian’s eyes made the three men step back in fear, but they showed no intention of giving way.

Tang Feng looked at that man, who was wielding a great green dragon crescent blade, sporting a long beard of about twenty centimeters. At that moment, the rain soaked his beard, making it cling to his face like weeds.

But she didn’t mean to; even if she begged him to take her to Mu Han, it didn’t mean she liked him that much.

Indeed, his face didn’t look good, and Guomu was still the same. The matriarch of the Zhuang family wasn’t treated by Guomu, so her departure had nothing to do with him.

“Dong Jian, you can leave now; Miss Qin and I need to cultivate,” Wu Qianlian said unceremoniously, issuing an expulsion order. Although her opinion of Dong Jian had somewhat changed in Qin Baoyu's words, she was still very angry with him, and her determination to kill him hadn’t diminished at all.

Dong Jian’s displeasure made Xiu’er nervous immediately; this god of wealth, she was still trying to curry favor with, how could she offend him?

“Uh… did I ever say I wanted to buy information? How can you be sure I’m interested in this news?” Gu Feng asked, slightly taken aback.

Upon entering the territory of Liyan Mountain, the fire elements in the surrounding world became extremely active and abundant. It was even vaguely felt that a force enveloped the Liyan Mountain territory, containing the vibrant fire elements within and not allowing them to spread outward.

“What… what are you doing?” Seeing him suddenly grab her foot and place it on his thigh, Shen Yuan asked anxiously.

Jian Yaoming was indeed a cunning old fox; he directly thought of the furthest scenario, and there were not many people in Guancheng who could make him so humble.

The sounds of collision echoed in the air, and at this moment, some nobles had already fallen from the sky after being struck by the Holy Sword. Even though the initial group hadn’t yet been defeated, the gap in numbers was still significant. In the end, they might still not be able to defeat these holy envoys.

The bamboo green insect was a creature that could defeat enemies with a single thought; this was evident from the reactions of those who had just heard his voice. Such individuals would scare ordinary people half to death with just a casual sound, let alone when he spoke in an unhappy tone.

At this moment, Zhu Li from the Divine Fire Palace took advantage of the opportunity to intrude, bringing people from the Divine Fire Palace to press the Shen family for marriage.

It was a very dilapidated house, appearing extremely dark inside. By the light filtering through the surrounding walls, one could vaguely see the surroundings.

Xuantian sighed and glanced deep inside, seemingly recalling the words of Emperor Shizitian back then.
