"A change of power?"
Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, the situation is about to change drastically."
Shengtian Sect is already the strongest force in Linhai Prefecture, and with the backing of Ba Dao Sect and Yushou Sect, they have a significant advantage.
On the surface, the combined strength of Wanxiang Sect, Shenjian Sect, and Jinhai Sect is slightly inferior to that of Shengtian Sect, Ba Dao Sect, and Yushou Sect. However...

As soon as Lin Qian spoke, Gao Benli's eyes widened in shock, unable to find words. After a long pause, he furrowed his brow and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, my grandfather is already dead?"
Lin Qian sighed and produced a strange crystal, tossing it onto the table.
Everyone looked at the crystal with curiosity and confusion. The crystal appeared spherical but had a flat surface, rolling until it came to a stop on the table.
"A Light Projection Crystal? Junio...

"Remember, conceal your presence. Don't let anyone notice you're there," Lin Qian instructed, waving his hand to signal the soldiers to begin their mission.
"After you're done, go to the secret valley behind Wanxiang Sect and investigate Gao Yuefei's situation."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The swift soldiers nodded, then disappeared into the shadows, leaping off the cliff.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Lin Qian watched as the soldiers vanished into the abyss, their form...

After Wei Wushuang left Linhai Prefecture, he joined a certain force, and Gao Benli, who became his disciple, naturally joined as well. Within this force, there was a man named Tong Emeng, who constantly opposed Wei Wushuang.
In the end, when Wei Wushuang let his guard down, Tong Emeng schemed against him, poisoning him with a deadly toxin that left him with no choice but to wait for death.
Qian Long and his brothers, along with the people who accompanied them, were discipl...

“Gao Benli, can you show some dignity? Besides complaining to Master, what else are you good at?” Lin Qian dismissed his Equipment Armament and walked over, curling his lips in disdain.
After finishing his cultivation, Wei Wushuang also shook his head at Gao Benli with a hint of helplessness. "You, Gao Benli, are truly hopeless. How did you manage to regress so much over the years? You can't even defeat your junior brother and yet you still have the nerve to come crying to me...

After leaving Liu Yu's residence and returning to his own place, Gongsun Zan looked at the ruins that had once been his home. His face twisted in rage. The little bit of rationality he had left was gone, replaced by pure anger. The fire of fury blazed in his chest, fueling his reckless resolve.
"Let's go! To the military camp!" Gongsun Zan stood in front of his collapsed courtyard, took a deep breath, and then mounted his horse, heading straight for the camp outside the city.

This time, Liu Yu could have pretended that Gongsun Zan never existed. After all, the supplies Gongsun Zan was using were from his own reserves. By logic, Liu Yu had no right to withhold anything from him. However, as the Governor of Youzhou, Liu Yu held the greatest authority in the region!
Now, Gongsun Zan found himself in a pitiful situation. Liu Yu weighed his own strength against the battered and bruised Gongsun Zan, who had been thoroughly beaten by Yuan Shao. Realizing tha...

Gan Ning, along with Taishi Ci, bought a few items and quickly disguised themselves. With ease, Gan Ning led them to a restaurant and secured a private room on the second floor that provided a clear view of the governor's mansion. They sat down comfortably.
"See, it's that simple. Just sit here, and we can keep an eye on the governor's mansion. With our eyesight, we can see everything clearly. So relax, if there's any chaos inside, we'll know and can go in," Gan Ning said proudly...

Gan Ning grabbed Taishi Ci's arm, and with a few leaps, they covered over a hundred meters. They turned into an alley before the Gongsun infantry stationed outside had any chance to react. By the time Gongsun Zan and his men furiously emerged from the rubble, Gan Ning and Taishi Ci were long gone.
"Search for them! If you find Gan Ning, kill him on sight!" Gongsun Zan roared in fury, having made up his mind to eliminate the insolent Gan Ning who dared to challenge him.

As Gongsun Zan headed north, he was fortunate not to encounter any of Yuan Shao's pursuers. Although he felt groggy on the way, he safely returned to Youzhou. However, perhaps due to the long duration of his fever or the severity of his defeat, Gongsun Zan showed signs of irritability and his thinking had become somewhat irrational.

Ever since parting ways with Gan Ning...

Even a genius like Zhuge Liang had moments of ignorance, so it was no surprise that Chen Xi didn't fully understand Liu Bei's thoughts. However, since Liu Bei had said not to worry about it, Chen Xi wouldn't interfere. As long as Liu Bei wasn't acting irrationally, he generally knew what he was doing and what he was good at.
With Liu Bei's assurance, Chen Xi didn't linger. After exchanging a few casual words, Chen Xi left before Liu Bei could even offer him tea to see him off. De...

"This is the situation. Although your horse-slaying sword design is impressive, replacing all the weapons with horse-slaying swords would leave our army without combat capability for over a year. The process of nurturing weapons on the battlefield is faster, and those with inner energy can accelerate it, but most of our soldiers don't have inner energy because they can't even get enough food. It would take at least a year and a half for our soldiers to bring a horse-slaying sword to it...

Liu Bei glanced at the gift list in his hand and felt a bit embarrassed as he looked at Lady Zhang. Previously, when he had repaired Fenggao, it could be considered a gesture of apology. However, this gift list seemed to be taking advantage of the Zhen family.

Ignoring the schemes that Ma Teng and Han Sui, two sly characters, might be plotting, it's quite surprising that these two actually became sworn brothers. They even started addressing each other as "older brother" and "younger brother" in such a friendly manner.

The bitterly cold land of Xiliang had seen Ma Teng and Han Sui rise to power after Dong Zhuo’s downfall, both stepping into the vacuum left by his absence. However, as the saying goes, "One mountain cannot house two tigers." Once Dong Zhuo was gone, the two former comrades immediately turned against each other, openly clashing with their armies across Xiliang.
Compared to Ma Teng, Han Sui had more troops, more capable generals, and superior strategies. However, Ma Teng had his ...

The vine elder took the lead, wanting to make up for his previous oversight. He raised his hand and struck out suddenly, his palm emitting a purple-black print formed by withered vines. This contained the ultimate meaning of his self-created martial realm, pressing down with immense power.
The void in his palm seemed to be sliced apart. The Tiger Dragon Formation formed by the arriving soldiers...

Li Tiangang commanded an additional 40,000 soldiers from the 200,000-strong army, integrating them with the existing 10,000 to provide the formation with a continuous supply of energy.
As the formation's demonic spirits activated, a series of roars erupted from within. The demon spirit that had previously merged with Li Tiangang had already returned to the formation. Now, replenished with energy, it charged out again, joined by four other unbroken-state demons.
They clashed...

Liangzhou, Eastern Territory.
Beyond the Great Wall of Black Stone, the vast expanse of the land could be seen. The sky was overcast with gray clouds, and the grasslands lay still without a breeze. Within the Great Wall, a vast border defense line extended, where patrol teams clad in light armor patrolled back and forth.
In the military camp, Li Tiangang held a military report detailing the recent intelligence on the various regions of Liangzhou.

Rhett was filled with wonder. "Wow, the saying 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight!' even holds true here? Or is it just a coincidence?"
As Rhett admired the sunset, the caravan pressed forward and finally reached a spot that could be considered scenic—a forest of colorful pine trees. The vibrant pines were a sight to behold, but the others, who had passed through here many times, were already tired of the view. Instead, it was the sunset that drew their attention.

Rhett pondered over Tuck’s explanation. Without witnessing the actual effects, he might not have given this technique much thought. At first glance, it seemed like a movement skill that only allowed for quicker retreats along recently traveled paths. Most movement techniques, however, offered a more versatile boost in speed and agility, allowing for swift movements in any direction. Compared to those, this technique appeared limited.
But recalling Tuck’s near-instantaneous ...

His previously calm expression showed intense fluctuations as he rubbed his eyes and stared directly at the ceiling.

Alongside these were diagrams of human movements, with a particular emphasis on the lower body—marked with significant points on thighs, calves, and ankles.
