Chapter 55: Mulberry Elm

Fang Xiaofeng had a lingering sense of familiarity with the girl's voice, so he took off running in that direction.
Su Qiao exchanged a glance with her father and quickly followed. Fang Xiaoying, supporting her grandmother, chased after them as well.
By the time Su Qiao got close, she saw several individuals wearing red armbands dragging a young girl. The girl's braided hair had come undone, and her clothes were torn to shreds.
Her face was deathly pale and she was terrified, yet she still clutched the little boy in her arms tightly.
The dock was packed with shipyard supervisors and craftsmen, a bustling sea of humanity. The white-uniformed sailors of the Yangtze River Fleet stood in neat, single-file rows, holding rifles with an imposing and majestic air.
Therefore, as soon as the captain of the Black Wind Empire finished speaking, the remaining five members of the empire scattered outward toward the edges of the ring simultaneously.
All of these terms were completely foreign to these officers. A humanitarian disaster? Preserving regional peace? Humanitarian relief?
Lin Yitong suddenly recalled that time, also at a hospital, when her phone cases had been scattered all over the floor. Yun Shang had stabbed her arm with a syringe of anesthetic, blood flowing freely, yet Huo Siran had said, "Since you are capable of sleeping around and cheating on a man, what else is there that you cannot do?"
As fellow members of the Elder Council and peak saints of the Spirit Sect, every member possessed a tethered object that stored their vital life state. Normally, they never interfered with one another, but the moment anyone died, everyone would sense it instantly. Right now, not only Xu Pei and Xu Ting, but all the Turtle Spirit clan elders located at Nine Dragons Peak had received this signal.
Therefore, had she chosen this method to take her revenge on him, and to make him experience the agony of losing his most cherished loved ones?
At that very moment, the killing intent around her surged abruptly. The intense hostility jolted Qingchen out of her own thoughts. She whipped around with her sword, mimicking Xiao Yi's movements, and slew the murderous man in black.
Hiding in the shadows, Qingchen cast her gaze around, searching for a way to ascend the city wall to survey the surroundings and rescue Ye Xi along the way.
"I am aware. Tell Consort Yang to rest well and not wait up for me tonight; I will go see her another day," Xiao Ling said, clutching the silver needles in his hand before turning and walking out of Purple Smoke Palace.
When we are young we meet so many people. How they concealed things, what they truly thought—it takes so long, so long until after we have lost them, to finally understand.
Hearing Tong Ti's words, the group recalled that this was the Abyss of Curses, and their expressions grew much more cautious.
Because this was an unprecedented phenomenon, the vast majority of cultivators who managed to reach the top floor of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda would naturally rush forward in a mad swarm.
Sophie did not decline and took it. Their relationship had long since moved past the need for polite refusals or words of gratitude; such gestures would only feel affected. Besides, Sophie genuinely needed a trusted subordinate, and a powerful intermediate-tier sovereign god was precisely what she required.
The God-Slaying Lightning, carrying the divine wrath of the King of Gods Zeus, transformed into millions of lightning spears that filled the entire domain of the Thunder God.
Delis gazed infatuatedly at Xu Zhe, deeply captivated by his expression at that moment. Not only she, but Lin Baizi as well, looked at Xu Zhe with similar infatuation. As for Stone, when Xu Zhe shouted those words, his fists clenched involuntarily, his eyes filled with a fierce conviction—the unwavering resolve to become an absolute powerhouse.
"Underworld Slash Combo!" As three consecutive Underworld Slashes assaulted the Sea-Swallowing Whale, Xu Zhe's saber materialized directly before the beast.
Meanwhile, the corner of the Star Magus's mouth curved into a cold sneer, as if all of this had been anticipated.
Although Xu哲's attacks were bizarre, tricky, and unexpectedly powerful, Liao Yun felt no fear or cowardice; instead, he was filled with a frenzied fighting spirit.
"I am Jun Liyuan's personal chef, and my name is Qian Fei." He looked at Xia Xi with a beaming smile.
