Chapter 1220: Divine Name
Lord Lugu's heart surged with fury.
The barbarian soldiers of the other Tie Shugu divisions were equally stunned.
They did not know what had happened, why the armor passed down by their ancestors—the symbol of the Tie Shugu division's supreme honor, an invincible suit of armor—was now worn by their enemy.
And now, these Tie Shugu barbarian soldiers were to fight a powerful foe clad in their ancestors' heavy armor?
The morale of the entire Tie Shugu division was shaken.
Seeing Dan Zhu seized the opportunity to wave his hand and shouted: "Kill!"
Liang Feiyu obediently opened his mouth; Lin Long flicked his finger, and a pill flew into the man's mouth and landed in his belly.
He did this to refine the White Moon Pill and elevate his own strength to the Fourth-Level Beast Practitioner realm.
Xiao Xiao had assumed this would be like before—gaining no information at all—but unexpectedly, heaven had not completely sealed her path.
After Wu Yi spoke, those cowering men all lit up with excitement; treasure—that was a priceless artifact! Think about it: such a powerful eight-clawed evil dragon guards it; surely the treasure must be of unimaginable power.
But just then, a "crack-crack" sound suddenly erupted between the withered bones and the opposite stone wall—a massive fissure split open in the ground, and then a gigantic figure emerged from that gaping crack.
Yun Shiyang volunteered to buy the tickets; Dong Xue bought popcorn, drinks, and other items, all of which she shoved into Ye Feng's hands to carry.
Today, Qian Chengjue still did not appear; to everyone's surprise, the Empress Dowager arrived.
Ye Feng's words were spoken from genuine feeling, but to Huang Lianquan and others, they sounded like Ye Feng's arrogance and conceit.
A Jiu finally exhaled in relief; she smiled at San Er, signaling him to calm down. San Er had been so overwhelmed by the scene before him that he gazed at A Jiu with deep gratitude, and from that moment on, his reverence and admiration for her grew another layer.
The palm strike landed true—he was immediately knocked down by the black wolf, and then the wolf's gaping maw bit straight for his legs.
Throughout Chinese history, many families managed water control; why do we never mention others' sons, yet whenever we speak of the Dujiangyan or the Western Shu Governor Li Bing, we always mention Li Erlang—this is why. Later generations even built the Erlang Temple in the Guan Kou town of Dujiangyan to commemorate Li Erlang's slaying of the dragon and chaining of the serpent.
To avoid Yang Xiuxing's suspicion, after detailing all the instructions, Hong Renda immediately took his leave, repeatedly urging Shi Daka to prepare quickly lest he delay matters. Shi Daka, with no choice, called upon his two absolute confidants, Zhang Suimou and Zeng Jinqian, after seeing Hong Renda off, to discuss a response strategy.
Upon hearing this, several Xuan Gate companions close to Chen Yan all broke into smiles. Due to the complexity of the Eastern Wasteland's situation—with demons and monsters prowling and the rebellion against the Heavenly Court pressing hard—they had been stifled these past days; now that two great demons had been captured, their morale soared.
"If the two races wish to reclaim the pinnacle of the Three Realms, even the Saint who is the Dao Ancestor would not agree," said Fu Xi.
Romanov did not drag out the suspense for others; he granted them the right to glimpse the secret. Before the meeting, he satisfied their curiosity.
"Thank you, Lin Sheng. On behalf of the fortress, I thank you for your generosity," He Liming said with a smile, clasping his fists in salute to Mr. Lin.
With the departure of the Heaven Monkey Holy Emperor and the truthful reporting of the meeting's outcome, Su Chen's title of Watchful Holy King began to circulate among the true top-tier powerhouses of the Cosmic Elite Training Camp, and gained some fame due to the battle on Di Luo Star.
"How is this possible?!..." Lin Jianqi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured into a pot of hot oil—the crowd below erupted in chaos.
External refinement focuses on purifying and refining the physical form; internal refinement, also called nurturing the vessel, uses one's bloodline to remove essences incompatible with one's internal Qi, extracting and refining those that harmonize with it, ultimately achieving unity of spirit and form.
He hesitated, for Liu Moyan knew he had ordered the arrest, yet still willingly healed him.
"Yin Laoer, tonight we'll give our three younger brothers a proper lesson—cut freely; if anything happens, I'll take responsibility," Ye Feng grinned.
The Fire Serpent King seemed to hear the greatest joke imaginable; his eyes widened in utter disbelief as he stared at Wang Jie, who wore a broad smile.
Though Ye Ying's words carried some jest, Jiang Qiuer still nodded in agreement; yet with resistance from Beijing, Yuyuan's future development was destined to be fraught with hardship. After all, it was the capital of Huaxia, the center of power.
Lu Fangjun indeed found two guns on him, both fully loaded; Lu Fangjun, having gone this far, stripped the policeman bare, bound his hands and feet, locked him in a room, and threw his clothes far away.
A poem says: "An old friend departs west from the Yellow Crane Tower; in the misty blossoms of March, he heads for Yangzhou." Now is precisely the most beautiful time in Yangzhou.
Yu Hangkang saw that Li Ye did not recognize Dong Chang, yet was willing to meet him—he realized the two might know each other. "Invite General Dong to the mansion for a meeting," Yu Hangkang ordered.
"Speak. Let's hear what kind of ivory might come out of a dog's mouth," Lu Xuan paid no mind to Gao Jiancheng's sarcasm.
When Ma Yun knelt on the ground, weeping and sniffling as he told Yang Tianhao about today's events, Yang Tianhao instantly crushed the wine cup in his hand.
"Everyone, please remain calm. Master Liu's and Third Master's injuries have largely stabilized; we're just short of medicinal herbs. Fifth Master, did you obtain the herbs from the prescription I gave you last night?" Huang the Physician had dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes—he hadn't slept for a full day and night.
Seeing the outside sky pitch black, I guessed Qin Shi Huang wouldn't return tonight, so I bathed and lay down on the large bed, yet could not sleep for a long time. The more I thought about Empress Dowager Xia's words, the more suspicious they seemed. Could Cheng Jiao truly harbor disloyal intentions? Should I tell Qin Shi Huang? No! This is a matter that could cost one's head—I absolutely must not speak rashly.
