489: Chapter 489 The Four War Zones Arrive Simultaneously, Who Dares to Harm My Great Xia Divine Mosquito!

Principal Wolf on the mountain ridge had to make a decision: should he follow them into the dense forest or enter the bushes?

Those few coughs just now were clearly the signal Choi Jin-hee had agreed upon. As soon as the lookout outside saw Lu Ying arrive, they immediately gave the alert, allowing Choi Jin-hee to make the necessary preparations based on the situation.

"Alright." Mu Yi nodded and sat down in a chair, while Kong Ren gave orders to call for someone.

An aura of authority emanated from Shi Jiaqiang. Despite the pain he was in, as a commander of many years, he naturally carried the air of someone long accustomed to giving orders.

Feng Li looked up at the Source Formation Platform in the sky, which was nearly shattered. It was vibrating violently and covered in cracks, destined to crumble before long. Suddenly, a jade talisman on his person vibrated. Feng Li was startled; it was a signal from the Hundred Flowers Heartbreak Valley—something must have happened.

The three of them walked through the hall to the mahjong table at the very front. Wan Shanshan called out "Dad," and Gui Qing addressed him as "Uncle." Zhou Yi looked closely and saw that this Wan Jinlong was a large, burly man with a very fierce countenance, his large eyes radiating an intimidating light.

Without his talismans, fighting Jia the Bachelor barehanded would be like the God of Longevity hanging himself—he must be tired of living.

The Taotie is an ancient vicious beast; the very fact that it's categorized as such reveals its true nature. Although King Yan currently only possessed a trace of the Taotie's bloodline, he was undoubtedly influenced by it.

A dry branch wouldn't just snap for no reason; it must have been stepped on, or perhaps it was the sound of something hitting the ground after falling from a tree.

Mu Yi stood at the door, watching until Su Zhongshan and the others disappeared at the foot of the mountain. By now, a red sun had leaped out from the sea of clouds in the sky, sweeping away yesterday's gloom.

"Gao Yang, Spirit Protector of Huaizhou City, greets Second Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, and Seventh Senior Brother." The youth bowed to everyone with a grin.

Kyoko Yamamoto's eyes widened at Li Zhi's sudden, rough kiss. After a moment of being dazed, her rage flared up. She bit down on Li Zhi's lip and wouldn't let go, the faint taste of blood spreading in her mouth.

"Abroad? But Dad, isn't your health poor? Flying such a long distance will be very exhausting." Chen Wanyi looked at Gu Shengming with concern.

Even if the Four Wonders of Dream Ridge were to reappear, what would it matter if they weren't the winners? Both sides bowed to each other and left the stage. Those from Dream Ridge were naturally not concerned with winning or losing, but were simply lamenting that this might be their last appearance after all these years.

Every time he saw Yue'er's discomfort, his own heart felt heavy. But there was nothing he could do; since things had already come to this, there was nothing left to say.

Many people rushed toward the arena together, their faces filled with panic and confusion. One of them had already reached the edge of the First Heaven's fracture. His spiritual hand was scorched by the aura of intense flames, but he ignored the soul-searing pain. Just as he was about to jump down, a sound made him stop.

During the Battle of West Yue, enemy forces captured Feng Jincen's parents. The elderly General Feng, devoted to his country, refused to be used as a hostage, and both parents died on the battlefield. After the war, Feng Jincen was framed by the Beigong family for unauthorized troop deployment to save them, disregarding the rear battlefield, and was imprisoned. The person who testified against him was Yun Xiuya. Subsequently, Yun Xiuya was promoted from Vice General Yun to Great General Yun.

Lao Lai ordered his men to launch a counterattack while he and his driver quietly slipped away through the massive boulders.

Jack of Diamonds and Jian Anguo watched as the situation spiraled out of control. The entire Jian family was in chaos. The Jian family bodyguards, terrified by the Japanese killers, now practically viewed Li Zhi's men as their saviors.

The voice was faint, yet even the unspoken words were crystal clear, allowing everyone to hear them distinctly.

There was no shortage of smart people among the students; they had just been too focused on Hu Liena earlier to think about anything else.

The singing of Feng Fei and Dong Lin was only mediocre, and Ma Tianchang tore their performances to shreds in his mind.

But they had certainly defeated the first, second, and third elders. Even if one wasn't convinced, they had to accept it; they simply didn't have the same capability themselves.

After the morning meeting, Jiang Lanzhou already felt immense pressure. While painting at home, she hadn't felt such urgency, but seeing Zhang Ting's confident demeanor made her start to doubt herself.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zheng didn't rush to act as he had last time. Instead, he stared in shock at the few newly grown medicinal herbs below.

"Your younger sister greets Sister Mei and Sister Cheng. May I ask why you have called me here?" Su Zhenzhen asked calmly.

This realm seemed as if the Ancient Heavenly Court had regained its former glory, with lotuses of the Great Dao blooming with eternal light.

However, Wang Tingting had only heard from Section Chief Sun Haobo that a student named Ma Tianchang would come to see him in the morning. As for what he was coming for, it wasn't mentioned at all.

As the words fell, Jiang Yixiao's lips twitched, wanting to blurt out a retort like "What's there to be afraid of?" but he forced himself to swallow it back.

He set aside the cultivation of formation diagrams for the moment. Drawing them so effortlessly would only increase his nausea and attract all sorts of flamboyant heavenly phenomena.

Du Bian raised his sword, and his internal energy, mixed with Soul-Severing Shadow energy, surged toward Tang Yan. It was an unprecedented spiritual attack, a history-making mental strike.

The forces seeking to put him to death would be so powerful they would drive one to despair, enough to crush anyone into bone dust.

However, as soon as the Profound Energy touched the Nether Scratches in his hand, it was entirely assimilated into Nether Death Qi.

"I'm sorry, but it's not convenient for me right now. Let's talk another day. Please bear with me, Brother Hao, if I've offended you." Sun the Cripple's tone grew increasingly submissive, as if he were wary of the consequences.

Li Mulin felt a sense of despair as he was escorted by the police toward the interrogation room. Before leaving, he glanced in Xu Chuan's direction, only to witness a scene that terrified him.

He couldn't understand why these people had suddenly become so crazed that they would even attack their own.

Li Yu was overjoyed and immediately issued an imperial decree: Han Ran was appointed to oversee the military affairs of Fengzhou. Following the Tiance Prefecture's system, eight hundred elite soldiers were selected to join Zhou Bao's Backbone Battalion. The remaining Fengzhou soldiers were reorganized into the Fengzhou Independent Regiment, with Han Ran as the regiment commander.

Old Gu was dumbfounded. Before Li Tianchou arrived, he had been furious and prepared to burn his bridges. But now that he had some support, he naturally lost that aggressive edge and was unwilling to risk butting heads with the old man again.
