Chapter 206: What Matters Is Speed

The Heavenly Pillar General's Manor.

The imperial court's decree was officially issued, and General Er Zhu Rong became the Heavenly Pillar General, taking charge of all court affairs.

General Er Zhu Rong pressed on at full speed; the next two things to do were already set.

Replace all key positions in the Luoyang court with his own people, and grant titles to the northern martial merit holders.

On these two matters, General Er Zhu Rong had no intention of consulting anyone; he would decide them himself.

On the table lay a sheet of white paper, on which were written the names of a group of northern martial merit holders.

She went in and saw three rows — one called Haoyou Liaozhuai Ye, one called Binglin Chengxia. None of them had voice chat on; they were typing. She entered the game and started picking a hero. She hadn't played with them before and didn't know what heroes they usually played, so Baili Guo didn't pick a hero first; she'd fill whatever role was needed later.

An Junxi said nothing more, and following Yinuo Han's arrangement, took his change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Lan Ranzong watched for a while, a surge of heat rising in his chest, which made him suddenly reach a decision and tap the comms on his smart glasses.

Having said that, she plopped down on the steps and started playing with her phone — the vegetables she'd planted in the Animal Crossing mobile version before heading out that morning seemed ready to harvest.

Yu Tianyang took the pill from Yang Xia with trembling hands, then knelt and kowtowed three loud times to Yang Xia. After rising, he slapped his chest and vowed, "Uncle Yang Xia, don't worry. I'll walk the righteous path for sure, and once I've mastered immortal arts, I'll protect Yu Family Village and never let outsiders bully our village."

Not many people knew about this matter, and those who had been present at the time all knew that if this blew up it would do no one any good, so naturally they wouldn't go out of their way to tell Li Yuan about it.

He realized he'd misspoken. "No, of course I don't dislike you, but we're not that kind of like — you get what I mean!" Xu Chen said anxiously.

At the time, he really had just said it offhand. If Wen Jingzhi hadn't suddenly popped up and wedged himself between him and Wen Nuannuan, he wouldn't have had to resort to such a desperate move.

Ge'ermu's gaze was terrifying, and seeing him like that, Yu Xinyu instinctively took a step back.

The Progress Bar had not a single sharp edge on its entire body, like an inflatable toy, perfectly suited for children aged two and up to play with.

The heat waves ahead grew heavier and heavier, and the danger his body instinctively sensed grew more and more lethal — but Dagu didn't care about any of it.

In the era of cold weapons, agriculture was a pillar industry of the state, so in Liu Xiang's eyes, Zhao Guo's merit was no less than that of the Han generals who campaigned abroad.

For anyone else, finding this kind of demon would be quite a chore. But he was different — he knew of one. One top-tier demon who had always lingered in the mortal world while occupying a divine seat.

Spirits as a class of life were generally quite decent; even the more ill-tempered Ghost-type spirits could get along very well with humans.

Students of the War Academy were natural scout candidates — they possessed extreme single-target combat burst capability, as well as a sense of smell and speed far beyond that of ordinary military scouts.

At that moment, a sweat-drenched Reina was practicing as she always did, her eyes fixed on the red cloth hanging on the cliff.

"Before that, may I ask you a question?" the man said softly. His tone was no longer as listless and weak as before; instead, there was a certain depth to it — whether or not this had something to do with the eerie red light was unclear.

As Yan Qing spoke, she turned and went back inside. That figure of hers was the very picture of frail weakness, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Because Chu Yueyao had been previously cast aside by Xuan Mubai, when Xuan Mubai was called to account for the monstrous crimes of regicide and patricide, she escaped culpability and was not charged.

Back then, he was still a sixteen-year-old youth. Looking at it now, the oath from those years was nothing but a joke.

The Light of Demons is the greatest secret of the Demon God Altar. Back then, when the Demon Armor was dismantled and destroyed, only eight components were dealt with — and the final component was the Light of Demons.

After a long while, Su Tang had finished speaking, but Helan Feiqiong was still staring transfixed at the pool, saying nothing.
