The black lightning pierced through the iron gate in an instant, striking the mummy directly; the man screamed, one foot instantly charred and blackened! Had Jiang Dong not deliberately held back to avoid drawing too much attention, that blow alone would have killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who, in life, sowed discord among blood relatives—inciting conflict between father and son, brothers and sisters, husband and wife—after death descend into the Iron Tree Hell. The tree is covered in sharp blades that pierce through the back skin and hang the soul upon its branches. After this, they must enter the Mirror of Karmic Deeds Hell, then the Steaming Cauldron Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reactions of Grandpa Lu, of Lu’s father toward her—all of it had reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was back here again. He didn’t know if this time he could take her back. For the first time, he doubted his own confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at the truck—its entire left side of wheels was sunk deep in the sand; it wouldn’t be dug out anytime soon. The others were pulling out the three camels caught in the misfortune. Zhou Tong, seeing he couldn’t help just then, tugged my sleeve, signaling me to return to the vehicle and report to Sheng Shiyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was their first team training, the UF team’s overall atmosphere remained cautious; everyone was adjusting to the rhythm of the others in the room, for if they failed to synchronize and stumbled into a misstep, they’d likely crash hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baihe, slumped on the ground, had her mind utterly blank, her ears ringing, too terrified to even cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady’s eyes flickered, her lips parted, but no sound came out; her face turned pale and bluish, and soon she fainted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect her to instantly understand his thoughts, but he hoped she understood he had reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The experienced Billups immediately shifted his stance, but the next second, he collided with Marion, who had been standing unseen ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thug leading the charge was flung backward by Guo Lei’s palm, flying five to six meters away before smashing into a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the Spirit Beast Forest, in a dark cave dwelling, a middle-aged man stepped out, gazing toward Qianzhong City, his face twisted in a lewd grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Muzi hid under the covers, too afraid to close her eyes. Her body was utterly exhausted, but every time she shut them, endless nightmares lined up, waiting for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side of Zi Mu Gangyan, his face turned grim upon seeing the ten-meter-tall giant dango appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a setting, shouldn’t everyone be offering praise? Yet no one mentioned rewarding the four imperial princes—clearly, the Emperor and they had conspired together. Why exactly, he didn’t yet know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Ming, positioned above and seeing everything clearly, couldn’t have missed the venomous glares from below—but he himself felt a pang of guilt toward Long Hongxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diaries should record personal matters—why did Pei Yun’an write down this passage as a monologue about a nightmare?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Doudou firmly nodded to Wang Yizhi. Under Fan Rou’er’s tugging and waist-pinching signals, he reluctantly stepped aside, daring not to speak further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen clearly how those two men died—after a prolonged struggle, his own men gained no advantage, and were even caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days of rest and recuperation were decent; everyone returned to a regular routine. At night, the streets still buzzed with traffic. The Red Shield ten sat atop the roof, gazing at the vast, silver river of the Milky Way.\u003C\u002Fp>",664,"2026-06-20T03:53:09.499Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","afbc4eac3fefd9f63669e39d3236ad181a0a3e39204ce49eb7f3b8ea24ddfa31","i-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-chapter-230","i-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-chapter-228",623,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-cover.jpg"]
