"General, the problem is that the White Horse Cavalry at that time wasn't led by Zhao Zilong! Now the commander is Zhao Zilong, and that's a completely different situation, just like how Bingzhou Wolf Riders are completely different with or without Lü Bu!" It was clear that this military supervisor named Li Zheng was a sensible person.
"Don't worry. If a few hundred of our heavy infantry could withstand the first charge of over ten thousand White Horse Cavalry, then my Cao famil...

After watching Liu Bei's army depart, under Chen Xi's coordination, the entire Mount Tai went into a frenzy of activity. Tens of thousands of idle workers who had been participating in public works projects during the winter now found new employment. Not only did they receive two meals a day, but they also earned a minimum wage of ten coins per day, along with a two-coin meal allowance.
Chen Xi sometimes wondered if his public works projects were overly generous. Normally, his wa...

“Zichuan, you will stay behind to gather supplies while I, along with Fengxiao, Ziyang, Yun Chang, Yide, and Zilong, will lead 50,000 men to rescue Tao Gongzu. Once you've gathered enough supplies, take Zijian and others and act as you see fit. Anguo, you will serve as Zichuan's protector,” Liu Bei decided after a brief moment of thought. He had resolved to personally stop Cao Cao's massacre, no longer concerned about whether Tao Qian had asked for help.

In a certain place in Xue County, Lu State, Cao Lie, who had lost his right arm, listened to the news from Xu Province that Cao Song had been murdered and that Cao Cao had angrily marched on Xu Province. He couldn't help but burst into tears.
On the day that Cao Song had ordered Cao Lie to deliver a letter, they were ambushed. After a bloody battle, only Cao Lie barely managed to escape. Fortunately, heavy snowfall deterred the pursuers, allowing him to survive, but not long afte...

The battle between Dong Zhuo's remnants and Ma Teng of Xiliang did not have much of an impact. At most, it made others slightly envious of the two newly ascended internal energy masters. As for Zhang Xiu's display of strength, it was enough to make all the warlords in the land take notice.
Cao Cao led his army directly from the Ru region of Yuzhou, passing through Fan County. Strategically, he ordered Yue Jin to station 3,000 troops there, guarding the city to prevent Liu Bei or ...

These two sacred treasures, one a pale yellow short sword and the other a purple pagoda, exuded a dazzling brilliance as they floated in the air, merging with the heavens and earth.
With the sacred treasures in their hands, Dragon Jueshen and Feng Lingxiao exchanged glances. They knew that if they didn't quickly defeat the Li family, they would be unable to answer to the three Desolation Gods.

Qingzhou City, within the God General's Mansion.
The light of the ancestral blood formation dissipated, and Li Tiangang, after bidding farewell to the ancestors in the ancestral hall, returned to the Shanhe Courtyard.
He glanced at the stern-faced Li Xiaoran, without attempting to explain anything, and said: "Fourth Uncle, those returning to support the Li family will need you to receive them. I am preparing to activate the ancestral secret passage and have them enter from ...

In a secluded, elegant courtyard, only a few old servants were attending, making the place extremely quiet. Birds perched on tree branches were startled by an urgent voice from the house, flapping their wings and flying away.
In the main hall of the courtyard, siblings Li Jiangying and Li Rumeng were anxiously looking at the elder in front of them.

Her husband, Li Fenghua, had returned from Cangzhou with his troops. He had nearly perished in the previous battle to defend Qingzhou and was now gravely injured, looking pallid and weak.
Li Xiaoran shot her a cold glance, ignoring her, and instead looked at Li Tiangang.

The relentless downpour severed the advancing demon horde. Reinforcements could not keep up, and the sword energy from the city walls stabilized the previously retreating and struggling defense line. The Xia family's banner once again flew over the blood-soaked walls.
All the soldiers felt a sudden relief as the demons were slaughtered, and no more continued their assau...

This youth, who had emerged from the Qingzhou Tianyuan God General Mansion, was now being personally greeted by their family head at the Xia family's Zhenwei God General Mansion. Such an honor was unprecedented, even for the Imperial Envoy from the Emperor himself, who had only been invited into the mansion.

Amidst the splattered flesh, a struggling figure tried to escape but was immediately subjected to intense pressure, wailing in agony before dissipating, his soul ...

The severed Flame Winged Serpent hadn’t yet expended all of its life force. After falling to the ground, it convulsed as if in spasms, its tail lashing out and leaving whip-like marks on the earth. The snake’s fist-sized head gazed up at Tark’s towering figure, which blocked out the sunlight. In the shadow of his form, a trace of venomous hatred flickered in the serpent’s eyes as it mustered the last of its energy to spit out a few small sparks.

Through this simulation, Rhett could basically confirm that Blackstar was backed by an organization. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how he had such accurate knowledge of the movements of evildoers. It would be nearly impossible for an individual to achieve this on their own—such efficiency in locating criminals surely required a well-established information network.
As he pondered this, Rhett felt even more perplexed. "If this organization is solely focused on capturi...

If children are not properly disciplined, it is the fault of the father.
