422: Chapter 422 The Price of Offending the First Beast Taming Empress in History

Boom!

Above the Imperial Capital, a sudden thunderclap rang out.

In an instant, the sky became thick with rolling black clouds.

Rain began to pour down in torrents.

No, it was a torrential downpour!

As the rain hit the Fire Domain, it was instantly evaporated and vaporized.

Inside the Fire Domain...

Shrill, wretched screams sounded exceptionally piercing through the noise of the rain.

The screams came from eight women—eight women who had desecrated the Empress's majesty.

Madam Liu, Madam Zhao, and the others...

“I knew His Highness wanted to protect him, even if he made a mistake!” Liu Bowen smiled slightly.

Even though he had long known the destined outcome, when this moment arrived, Zhang Muzhi still couldn't suppress the emotions surging within him like a collapsing dam.

The night passed in silence. When Chu Zheng woke up early, he felt in high spirits and began practicing his swordplay in the courtyard.

This thing would be an absolute disaster for ordinary people. If it were placed in the center of a large city, it probably wouldn't take long to spark a 'Resident Evil'-style crisis led by Qi-Sucking Ghosts.

Luo Yi noticed Dr. N's gaze and calmly shifted his eyes over. To his surprise, he discovered a trace of abnormality within Dr. N's body. Though he couldn't put his finger on what it was, it made Luo Yi sense danger.

Under the cover of Absolute Defense, the group escaped this fierce attack. However, the surrounding ground had already become riddled with scars and devastation.

Jiang Yao didn't hesitate for a second. Stepping onto the Scarlet Shadow Blade, he turned into a streak of light, dodging the opponent's attacks at an incredible speed.

The moment they left, over a dozen indistinct ghostly creatures arrived at the spot. They looked like rotting corpses with bodies stitched together from various parts.

But as the Aberration and Pollution divine authorities merged, Odin felt his power returning.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the fire pit that had exploded earlier; the aura of the Unusual Fire was gone from the pit.

“I'll say it one more time. From now on...” Lu Yao frowned slightly and repeated his previous words in a low, heavy voice.

With a million points of internal conflict, I still called Diao Chen. He had just returned to work after recovering from his injuries and was incredibly busy, yet he could chat with me while answering others fluently. Crucially, his thoughts and speech remained perfectly clear as he navigated between two completely unrelated matters. His capability was simply god-tier.

“Eh? What did you say? The probability of what?” Lu Qingyu stopped his flailing, his face full of tension.

Her eyes felt sore. Tears couldn't help but fall. Ruosheng looked at Liu Yue'e, her eyes filled with gratitude.

The further they went inside, the harsher the climate became. There was constant yellow sand, a baking sun, and frequent sandstorms. With such weather, one wonders how mortals in the past ever crossed this desert. Was the desert climate better when the Great Array wasn't active, or was there some other reason?

Upon arriving in Tianfu City, they didn't contact the Earth Group members there this time. They checked directly into a hotel, appearing perfectly normal, not at all like they were there on a mission.

“You actually called me a tomboy!” I was fuming from all seven orifices, the heavy breaths from my nostrils making me look like a steam train right now.

The most suspicious mountain was called Mount Taihuang. The records were extremely sparse. Back in Daji's time, it hadn't even emerged yet; it was as if a gap had suddenly appeared in the middle of the history of the Demon Realm.

“Yu Han, you...” She didn't quite dare to speak, a thought faintly popping into her mind.

“But, what about these people?” Magpie frowned as she watched the assassin cultivators charging toward Ye Yu.

She had always disliked having everyone's eyes on her, but it was unavoidable whenever she was with Gong Shaoxie because he was simply too eye-catching.

The wine was so sweet and fragrant that the scent of pears overflowed just by pouring it. It couldn't help but trigger Cen Xi's cravings. Without realizing it, she poured herself a cup and drank it. Still unsatisfied, she poured another.

“Your Highness—” Cen Xi bowed first. Behind her, Kong Xiuran immediately knelt on the ground. The Third and Fourth Bosses were stunned. The Third Boss was about to step forward, but the Fourth Boss grabbed him and gave a subtle shake of the head.

Therefore, despite trying his best to calm down, he still couldn't be completely composed. The calm wisdom he once took pride in had vanished, and his mind was filled only with Wu'er's safety.

Feng Wu slowly curled her lips. There were far more provocative dances in the modern era; what they were performing now was just a slightly more open version of a standard dance, but the effect was good.

Because of Madam Wang's persuasion, Xing Shuang reflected on herself. She was reluctant to take medicine because she believed all medicines had some level of toxicity. Whether it was Chinese or Western medicine, she rarely took any back in the modern world.

When the finite life of a creature tends toward infinity, making them maintain a sense of justice becomes an extremely difficult task.

Perhaps because she hadn't cut any corners, the cake underneath was very soft. The jam and cream on top must have been very expensive, so the taste was truly excellent.

“It's okay, we won't mind. Get in the car.” At that moment, Gong Shaoxie's voice came from the front.

Li Jingfang felt very aggrieved, and he had the right to be. As Li Hongzhang's son—and the one Li Hongzhang valued most—he was involved in almost all matters of the Huai Army and the Beiyang fleet. According to Chinese custom, he was essentially the heir to everything Li Hongzhang owned.

From the moment Wang Wei appeared, Zuo Tianci sensed something fishy. At this time, he absolutely didn't dare to let thousands of Beggar Sect disciples swarm into the manor all at once.

Qing Feng wasn't gay, so hearing Sima Yu's words, Qing Feng wanted to take action. His hands were about to reach for Sima Yu's 'peaks'.

After fighting together, Big Horn temporarily stayed at the Amber Pine Camp. The Druids had issued a public statement welcoming all powerful hunters to come, as they would choose the most worthy partner for Big Horn.

“We are here to offer our condolences,” Zeng Jinling introduced herself. She and Feng Yan were colleagues as well as friends.

In the Soviet Air Force's 'Zveno' (Link) parasite aircraft project, the sub-planes were connected to the mother ship via struts, sometimes placed above the mother ship's wings and sometimes suspended below. When a sub-plane needed to detach, the mother ship pilot would open the struts via control lines from the cockpit, and the fighter pilot would then maneuver the sub-plane away.

An extremely concentrated God-level Void Arrow whistled through the air. The Lich King couldn't dodge in time, and his left arm was shot right through. Subsequently, a wall of black void fire formed further ahead.

Prince Lu grew a dragon horn and a demon eye, shrouded in resentment and blood mist. Just then, the demon dragon hovering over Prince Lu seemed to sense the prying eyes; with a roar, the vision shattered.
