Cao Huan, noticing the tide turn, unleashed a full-force strike to repel the two servants, then swiftly returned to Li Shen’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Close enough! But I still need to go over tomorrow morning… Since I’ve saved the man, I might as well see it through to the end! I promise you—once Old Cheng’s matter is settled, I won’t interfere in that affair anymore!” Fang Yu gripped Mei Xingyun’s shoulder and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mei didn’t understand what Jiang Tong meant, but she vaguely sensed it wasn’t good news—at least not for Liu Feng. He had been determined to seek the sword, yet now he claimed there would be no more chance—what reason could he possibly have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why can’t you just kill this disgusting monster—the gargoyle—right now!” Zhang Qin blurted out again, dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, Xiao Lingyun was woken by her father and sent out with her younger brother Xiao Zhan. Though she didn’t know the details, she roughly guessed it had to do with Qi Chunmei, so she understood she needed to consider Xiao Zhan’s feelings and left the Xiao household early with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I know—I feel a deep sense of closeness when I’m with you, and I’ve long regarded you as my grandfather. My mother is dead, my father is either dead or missing—I’m an orphan. To be favored by you is already more fortune than I deserve.” Liu Feng blinked hard, struggling to hold back tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan also nodded in agreement, indicating it was acceptable. Seeing the two so confident, he felt tempted to give it a try himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire morning, Li Mang stayed in his bedroom, not stepping out a single step. He couldn’t sleep, so he idly flipped through the marketplace and various items in his mind—and to his surprise, he actually found a few pleasant discoveries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s naturally gifted at trash talk—probably played guns before; he shoots well, at least his stance is correct, and he hits every target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You? How dare you show up here again?” Seeing the sudden figure, Lin Shan’s heart leapt with joy, then he glared fiercely at Lin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Sheng, I’m handing command to you—don’t let a single one escape.” Yun Ji glanced once, then immediately handed over command to Huang Zhong, while drawing his long spear, preparing to join the fray himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man with the Ling surname flew toward Liuyun Mountain. Before death, one most often thinks of returning to one’s roots—and the Ling surname man was no exception. He had split from Qizhongzhi to escape precisely so Qizhongzhi could flee, for he could sense the black-masked men’s target was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around her, silence reigned—no sound at all. The only thing reaching her ears was Shi Wushuang’s steady, rhythmic breathing—each inhale, each exhale, plucking at her heartstrings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhibai carried her luggage behind Pei Qingxi, strolling slowly along the tree-lined path toward the dormitory, the air filled with everyone complaining about too much homework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qin had barely returned to his seat when he spotted Su Ke holding half-eaten pomelo in her hand—his face instantly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are immensely powerful and stable great worlds, overflowing with spiritual energy, their levels far surpassing that of the Beiming Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was merely an ordinary, common meal—but Pei Qingxi, in her daze, felt that his slow, deliberate eating, bathed in the faint morning light, carried an aura that could bewitch all beings. She stared, transfixed, unable to tear her gaze away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yun Ji saw their respectful demeanor and said nothing—he understood perfectly what they were thinking, yet he also couldn’t bring himself to point it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t know why the enemy had suddenly retreated despite having complete superiority, Guan Yu would not ignore the fact that they had nearly been killed—no matter how inexplicably the enemy now withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In later eras, this would’ve been just an ordinary general store—but at this time, it was the largest cassette tape wholesaler and tape recorder seller in the entire Yunze region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Average, but not bad. How much resource does it consume? If the cost is low, replicating an Ultraman army isn’t even a dream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Su Ha stopped, the others halted too, standing before the towering gate, their right hands resting on their giant swords, eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the son of the Northern Continent’s Lord, Su Ha found no reason not to rush to the battlefield—he understood he needed to be tempered, especially this kind of razor’s-edge tempering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This child is three years older than Guo’er, yet far inferior to her. Yu Liniang watched her, shook her head, and felt a chill in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, they had clung to this dream and idea, walking countless paths together. Qiu Liju’s title as Great King of Liaoxi wasn’t earned solely by Qiu Liju himself—it was also built on the silent sacrifices of many unknown others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the hazy night, they broke into strangers’ homes, ready at all times to swing their blades and kill—or to be ambushed themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hadn’t even finished speaking to you, and you ran off on your own—how could they sell you the item?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confucianism teaches the Way of the Gentleman: no one picks up lost things on the road. Yet now, not even that ideal remains—demons and monsters have emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>",977,"2026-06-20T03:53:10.154Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ae8484ae7b714ee9054a72bf7b67c762801c08354ffa8f166d51f9d1f07436ca","i-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-chapter-604","i-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-chapter-602",623,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-not-crazy-this-is-the-emperor-s-banner-cover.jpg"]
