Chapter 29: Have I Not Satisfied You?

It is worth noting that there are quite a few empires across the continent capable of fielding armies in the millions. However, doing so requires exhausting almost the entire strength of the nation. An operation of this scale—using millions of troops to lay siege to a single city—is indistinguishable from a war of annihilation.

Guang Hanzi’s eyes suddenly twitched. Brilliant laws manifested instantly atop Flat-Top Mountain, and a chilling frost coalesced into a giant, three-zhang-tall cage of ice, locking Ling Songzi within.

Arriving at the cave entrance, Huo Ziying sat atop the Great Serpent King. Although the Great Serpent King appeared heroic and extraordinary, it was fighting against its own nature by engaging in a brute-force contest with the Minotaurs, suffering many injuries in the process. Huo Ziying, clutching Ye Yuanyuan, kept his eyes fixed on the distant sky.

As He Liuhun pressed his hand against the stone stele, it fit perfectly. Even more bizarre, the moment his hand touched it, he felt as if the stele were a door that could be pushed open with ease. To Miss Hu, it appeared as though He Liuhun’s hand had turned into white jade and passed directly into the stone.

"Understood," Magellan said. He sat down in a chair, grabbed a teapot, and began to drink greedily straight from the spout.

To both of them, the old man was like a grandfather, teaching them lessons about life and constantly sounding alarms to keep them from straying onto the wrong path.

Without military orders, the White Horse Guerrilla Battalion was forbidden from allowing anyone entry, not even the Tang Emperor himself—let alone Fu Xiao, who was merely an ordinary Taoist from Wudang Mountain.

"Since the fishing team belongs to the military," Xu Song said, "then please have the military come to collect payment for the fishing boats."

Later, Ye Lan discovered an open door. He walked inside without a second thought, but the scene that met his eyes within the room left him deeply shaken.

Da Fei turned his head to look at Fang Yan and let out two cries as a greeting. Fang Yan looked at Da Fei in astonishment; she knew this mountain eagle was highly intelligent, but she had not expected it to actually understand human speech.

Cold sweat drenched me, and a wave of despair washed over me. It was over. This boss’s attack power was too formidable; I couldn't possibly withstand it head-on. If I were hit by one more fireball, I would likely meet my end here today.

"Morse, acting lovesick again?" Su Tao walked over, looked at Morse's expression, and said with disdain.

Yang Lan had carried out a massive expulsion of the three religions and had become inextricably linked with the Demon Realm. How could he abandon the Demon Realm to act as the champion for the common people of the world?

Hua Feng looked around as he spoke, but he found that after walking a long distance, aside from some dead fish and shellfish washed up on the beach by the tide, there was almost nothing to eat.

Another figure, a swordsman clad in a set of black armor, held a sword in one hand while the palm of the other faced upward. A wisp of fire elemental energy danced in his palm, ready to transform into a fireball at any moment.

I am far too busy to investigate. Even if I had the time, I would respect Jia Xu; after all, it isn't easy for old Jia to keep a secret, and there is a certain charm in maintaining the suspense.

Xu Xiaoliang didn't know that Lei Zhiming was simply feeling depressed today and was out drinking his sorrows away.

Although one's ability to comprehend laws grows stronger with higher levels, Li Xiang felt a vague intuition that the more laws one mastered at lower tiers, the simpler the path to becoming a God Emperor would be, perhaps even allowing one to go further.

"Our army currently possesses 17 quadrillion troops. One quadrillion of those are still on cooldown after launching a suicide attack at the end of the last conflict. Excluding the troops currently holding various defensive sectors to block the enemy, our mobile force is approximately 15.5 quadrillion."

Just as the old man was puffing on a cigarette, contemplating the future of Dark Night Heaven, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

Hearing the words of the Blood Demon Sect Master, the Seven-Kill Demon Marquis revealed a look of disbelief. In his mind, the Nine Li invasion should have been met with resistance from the Great Han Empire and the Primordial Sect; he could not understand how they could simply stand by, appearing more like accomplices than opponents.

Xia Ping’s mouth twitched, his mood sour. Being an "outsider" versus being a "dragon" resulted in two completely different treatments. It was blatant discrimination; in the Dragon Realm, outsiders simply had no human rights.

"Courting death!" Black Rod threw the black staff in his hand at Nicole in a fit of rage. That single attack killed her instantly.

Because the land of Diaoyin was situated between Taichang Mountain and the Luo River, it was a place of great strategic importance. The Qin State had eventually paid a heavy price to capture Diaoyin City, using it as a stronghold to pacify the Wei forces in Shang Commandery and forcing the Wei State to relocate its capital to Daliang.

Finally, after Qin Changning’s repeated assurances, the Grand Princess relented and agreed to let her go into the mountains to search for the Dragon-Blood Tree. However, she insisted that she must take a squad of guards and return before nightfall; if she returned after dark, she would be forbidden from leaving the house the following day.

"Since the Crown Prince is unharmed, this humble younger brother shall take his leave." Sima Ruiyuan never liked socializing, and upon hearing that the Crown Prince was fine, he immediately wanted to return to his own manor.

Qin Miao kept her mouth shut, pretending she hadn't said a word. Qin Changning had no choice but to step up and convince the Grand Princess once more.

Ling Feifei looked at the two of them and couldn't help but chuckle. She thought that if she were truly beyond saving, at least she still had Yu Qian. Wouldn't living in such a beautiful, secluded place be like the life of an immortal? She made up her mind to speak with Yu Qian privately.

After swallowing the "Qi-Replenishing Pill," Feng Qianjing felt a wave of intense heat in his stomach. In the blink of an eye, the corroded back of his hand had completely healed.
