Chapter 698: Fruits of High Summer

In early summer, the Yellow River's flood peak arrived once more. Along the riverbanks north of Bianzhou, many dikes were leaking, but fortunately they were sealed in time and did not cause much damage.

In light of this, Fang Chongyong ordered the Bianzhou court to issue a decree: urgently relocate the villagers living along the Yellow River ten li inland for centralized resettlement, so that when the floodwaters came, the first wave would not swallow their villages.

Besides the flood control efforts, there was another matter that drew considerable attention—the annual

Especially before any special processing, tobacco was extremely pungent when lit. Ordinary folk clearly would not accept such a strange thing. Even if Shen Xi wanted to promote it, he would have to process it first—at the very least, he should begin by gradually promoting it in the form of snuff.

This time he had really gone too far—only ten yuan in cash, no WeChat, no online banking, and no Alipay.

If the other party refused, he would order the surrounding armies to encircle and kill them together, and his war blade would attack as well.

This Wang Lun had originally been only the hexarch of the Kan Hexagram. When the cult leader was captured, Wang Lun renamed the Kan Hexagram the Clear Water Sect, declared himself its leader, and continued preaching with his own disciples.

The moment Auntie Zhang saw Chu Yuan return, she was overjoyed—the household finally had someone who could take charge.

Her beauty would absolutely not lose to those big-name celebrities; she and Chu Yuan were simply not in the same class.

Under the gaze of countless experts, Ye Hai surged upstream against the current, channeling the power of the Five Elements through both hands and tearing apart the divine radiance of the Heavenly Abandonment Supreme's magic.

Within the city, the Southern Barbarian chieftain, the Southern Barbarian prince, and the Southern Barbarian tribal leaders gathered at the city lord's mansion, set up a massive bronze cauldron, and boiled the people of the Great Yuan race—using this method to vent the hatred in their hearts.

"You!" Meng Can was choked speechless. They had indeed fought the Qing demons before, and had even been defeated and captured. Li Qingyuan's way of cursing people by deliberately exposing their shortcomings immediately earned him naked hatred. Meng Can glared at him so hard his eyes looked ready to shoot fire.

Upon returning, Qi Lin immediately examined his own body—he had successfully formed his core.

The moment Sanada Genichiro stepped through the entrance, Echizen Akaya came over, wanting to tell Sanada Genichiro a piece of news he had just heard.

A tremor rippled through the Eternal Prodigies Ranking, and it burst forth with brilliant rosy light, exceedingly dazzling and radiant. Faintly, wisps of Dao resonance and laws descended from the ranking.

By then I was drenched in cold sweat. I hastily wiped the beads of sweat from my face while being helped up by Du Kang, only to find that my legs had already gone weak.

Hearing these words, Sheng Ruosi subconsciously paused in her steps, and then Fang Chenxi's voice came through.

Yuhui stepped forward, recalling how her master's forgiveness and charity toward this fellow had been repaid with a gruesome death beneath his concocted poison—and all those years of patient forbearance and withdrawal, and his crimes of framing fellow disciples.

Su Wanyu's head felt as though it had been struck by something, slightly dizzy. Her face flushed crimson, red as a ripe tomato.

I looked at the three cards in my hand. If I guessed correctly, the spirit techniques used by this masked man… should be the same ones the Great Serpent had used before, and among them, spirit techniques number four and five were already thoroughly familiar to me.

Through their physiognomy one could see that their fortune was good, yet a layer of dark qi hung over their faces—meaning there was a tribulation in their fate. If they passed it, the rest of their lives would be worry-free; if not, they would await reincarnation.

Because of Chiyo's arrival today, Fujii Umeko brought out her finest skills and prepared a spread of dishes that looked mouthwateringly appetizing, specially to entertain Chiyo.

If Ye Xiu had left a few minutes later, he would probably have easily recognized the bearded man in the lead.

On the other side—Yaoyao, Huahua, mounts, maidservants, and many familiar-looking TikTok influencers gathered together, and in terms of looks and poise they clearly eclipsed the spirit pet side.

The vibrant Konoha Village also fell into silence as the bright white moonlight spilled down. Occasionally a night-patrolling security squad passed by, but they came and went without a trace, stirring not the slightest ripple. The entire village presented a scene of tranquil serenity.
