Chapter 1227

"Heaven and earth are a chessboard; all living beings are pawns..."

In that instant, Mo Hua gained a deeper understanding of these words.

As Mo Hua was moved by this thought, a familiar malevolent thought suddenly spread, and a strange, lifeless aura rose from beneath the earth.

It seemed as if something had come back to life.

Mo Hua froze, then his pupils trembled slightly, and he shouted at once:

"Lord Lugu, beware!"

This remark was abrupt, shattering the moment.

With her involvement, the battle shifted once more; three of the Five Demon Princes were already gone, leaving only Thousand Faces and the Earth Demon Sect's demon prince.

Qiao Ba bowed respectfully and left; after all, Qiao Ba was merely a servant of the Qiao household, and not every servant dared to stare so boldly at the master—though Ninth Brother was an exception.

"What do you mean by that, Mu Ge?" Lawrence frowned, hearing Mu Ge's words as if they carried hidden intent. He wasn't unaware of Mu Ge's implication—he simply found it impossible to accept.

Since Su Jingyang heard the term "Commander of the Expeditionary Force," his mouth had stretched ear to ear; as soon as Huang Yuying left, he could no longer hold his tongue.

The reason for this effect, it was said, was that the Jade King's jade carvings could protect the wearer.

So... Ning Xu naturally did not let any hint of unease show on his face because of Long Teng's matter.

"I suspect this person intends to reveal his identity at the year-end Array Peak Competition and stun everyone," another disciple speculated.

The middle-aged lecherous man, upon seeing Chu Feiwu, was utterly astonished—but when he noticed the child was staring blankly downward, leaving his back completely exposed, a sly grin spread across his lewd face; he raised his palm and struck the child's back.

"Because she bet herself, and when they tried to detain her, she..." Lü Ying'er shrugged and spread her hands; everyone knew what came after.

"Find another sixty or seventy! Ah, you know—men as loving as me are exceedingly rare in this world. You must make the world full of love, you know?"

Then he laughed three times loudly, and suddenly a black shadow flashed, swept up Tianyuan Ji, and vanished.

Although he felt he should have shown more backbone and not accepted the other's gift so directly, at this moment he truly felt powerless to stop himself.

"I'd gladly be cheated—if you'd just mind your own business, hmph!" Zhang Xiue glanced at Tang Long's crotch, then turned and walked out, face stern.

The weather was clear, with white clouds drifting across the sky; Zhang Yi walked down the street with Li Xiaoqing and everyone else, and they felt unprecedented happiness.

He knew well that Wei Yangyang currently worked at Di Hua International Group, a luxury-accessible jewelry design company, and that she was now the Chief Designer for the Asia-Pacific division.

Even today, Song Caicha's family remained dissatisfied with Song Yuanchao, despite having been neighbors for decades.

Lin Yunzeng tugged at his lips; in Liwang City, he had never lost a fight, and with that, he stepped forward.

Capture the king first; Zhang Yi had resolved today to fight to the death against Lu Bing, a top-tier Yin Si expert, and win—otherwise, the lost souls following them would vanish forever.

The shopkeeper, who had merely suspected before, was now greatly startled. He had no idea that this Manager Ji was married—and had a son this old?

Ji Yan glared coldly at Tian Tian; that glare made Tian Tian flinch—but he refused to yield, glaring back fiercely.

Those who refused to be bound yet existed reasonably. This way seemed more suited to them.

In moments, he suffered severe injury—not only that, but his spiritual realm suffered massive backlash and destruction.

"Say my name," Zhi Shan frowned slightly, looking at Hua Weiluo, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure.

It was the Senior Brother currently using the Heaven-Piercing Array; he now controlled the Heaven-Piercing Array, much like Su Qingying when she became the Dao of Heaven—able to see every corner of Shenzhou at will.

He had just come downstairs and hadn't yet greeted them when Chu Hao Xuan and Ye Li suddenly turned around.

As soon as Yuan Xiao left, the Marshal locked the door from inside, opened the safe, and took out a box. His expression was grave.

Quietly lifting the blanket, Qian Xun saw crimson blood beneath her, streaming continuously from between her legs, staining her underpants and silk skirt; the icy sensation of blood draining away turned her face as white as paper, leaving her weakly slumped against the bedpost, gasping for breath.

The next day, when the sun was high, Nian Xi still hadn't risen; Ling Aotian summoned the imperial physician to examine her pulse, only then relaxing.

"See? I've spent three years with them, yet their bond with Shang Xufeng, that bastard, runs deeper than mine."

"If you say so, I'll reluctantly taste it!" Gu Feier said, then immediately placed Xia Chenman's plate on her lap and began eating.

"You say that? Isn't it because you're such a huge stud that I'm like this? If anything happens to the child, I won't forgive you!" Xia Nuanxin turned her head away angrily.

But no matter how good the script, without actors it's useless; Teacher Ye's mood seemed affected too. With winter break approaching, if they didn't seize time to cast roles and begin rehearsals, each passing day of the holiday meant one less day to raise funds.

Zhou Lin flung the Red Cloud Sword to the ground, formed a hand seal with his right hand, summoning a blue-water shield around his body, then changed the seal into a sword gesture and pointed at the sword embedded in the earth.
