Volume 1, Chapter 24: Forced to Kneel, a Humiliating Punishment

Jiang Yutang turned and walked toward the exit. The study door opened, and Ji Lin'an and Xu Ze stepped inside.

Their gazes toward Jiang Yutang were filled with pure hatred, clearly convinced that she was the true culprit behind Yun Qianqian's kidnapping.

Jiang Yutang brushed past them and descended the steps, faint curses from Xu Ze trailing behind her.

"That poisonous woman should be sent to the imperial prison for brutal torture..."

Lei Li finished speaking and pulled the blade downward once more. It completely detached from the coffin lid, but the moment the blade cleared the wood, the entire lid sank downward.

Maokai is a hero who offers both crowd control and self-healing; he can control the field and tank damage in late-game team fights, and he remains a solid choice for absorbing pressure in lane swaps.

"Liu Muye." A middle-aged man with long hair and white robes appeared at the entrance of the teleportation array. As he sensed his presence, the Dark Blade began to hum violently. Liu Muye hovered in mid-air, his eyes sharp as lightning, exuding an oppressive aura that commanded respect without a word.

Bai Ruozhi wore an expression of intense frustration. She understood the importance of the Heavenly Eye, and she knew full well what it would mean for a practitioner like Xiao Rang to enter it.

However, the poison was not without an antidote, and she quickly regained her smug, faint smile. Young Master Zhuyue frowned slightly, feeling a sudden sense of physical discomfort.

"Attempt to establish communication with the other side simultaneously," Deputy Captain Ju instructed both communicators at once.

Oli let out a shout, fired his Q-skill, Peacekeeper, and then immediately placed a trap right at Nami's feet.

Suddenly, She Tianyi thrust his golden snake sword forward with cunning precision, striking like a viper; the cold glint of the blade seemed to pierce through the very soul.

"Things are getting lively tonight!" Everyone was filled with terror at the appearance of the Level 6 Bone-Armor Zombie, Liu Kaizhen and Xie Shengxiong included. Seeing it roar at the giant zombie, I instantly understood the situation.

In the Origin World, the laws of heaven and earth are more rigid; one must possess at least the cultivation level of the Pill-Forming Realm to fly through the air.

"Respected envoy, I did indeed endure cruel hardships in my youth..." King Black accepted the flattery in Yang Yi’s poem and began to boast. Yang Yi’s vision blurred; was it really this difficult to just eat a meal? Fortunately, King Black was not very eloquent, and the banquet began after he bragged for a few moments.

The soldiers were stirred up, their expressions turning hostile again as they began to murmur and grow restless.

"Xiao Lai will still need many years to break through the late Foundation Establishment stage, and it will take at least fifty years to reach the Golden Core stage. As for Dan Ming, he returned to the sect severely wounded after being sent on an errand, and while he is currently recovering, his cultivation remains stalled at the seventh level of the late Foundation Establishment stage," Wan Qinglong sighed as he explained.

After tending to their physical needs, Zhang Tianyi and Kayako opened the office door and sat on the sofa to talk.

I was speechless. My luck has been strange lately; these people are all starting to pry into my family background one after another.

A moment later, his body finally recovered. He thought to himself: This black-armored man is so mysterious yet powerful—a single strike left me unable to move. His cultivation must have reached the Harmony-Cultivation stage, so why didn't he finish me off?

The Heaven, Earth, and Human Formation was broken, and the Taoists Yuqing and Shangqing had vanished. It was clear that Taishang Laojun had been seriously injured; were it not for the presence of the Great Sage of the Supreme Purity, the Moral Heavenly Lord, personally presiding over the Jade Pool, Taishang Laojun would never have been able to leave so easily.

After the tea was brewed, Kayako shifted her seat slightly to maintain a distance from Zhang Tianyi, though her eyes kept drifting toward him.

Everyone was still feeling their way through the struggle against the Japanese, and experience was scarce. Even the Military Statistics Bureau could not, in the beginning, perform as miraculously as in the movies. Only time and setbacks would allow them to gradually master the sophisticated arts of underground warfare.
