Wei Zhao would certainly not do anything so foolish.

Therefore the matter of paramount importance next was to launder these gray-market assets into legitimacy as quickly as possible.

And in this regard, the Academy of Wealth was acknowledged throughout the Divine Domain as the foremost authority.

It was no exaggeration to say that at least forty percent of the core resources across the entire Divine Domain were managed and operated on behalf of the various factions by the Academy of Wealth.

How much of that consisted of gray-market assets that could not stand the light of day, only they themselves knew.

Originally, given Wei Zhao's rank and standing...

"The art of spatial mutation!" Ling Lin was somewhat startled as well once she sensed the power of space.

What is cloud gaming? It means, in fact, placing all of a game's computations, all of its data, and even the client entirely onto the servers, so that users need not download anything to log in and play normally. It boasts three great advantages: play at the click of a button, cross-platform operation, and freedom from hardware limitations.

Hah! The rest of the family now wished desperately that she had already borne Su Luo a child—how mercenary they were.

"I understand, Elder Sister. I will be sure to put them all where they are needed." Chu Liyue nodded. She had always been the one to allocate those who had been culled in the past, so she had already accumulated considerable experience, and now she had even less reason to decline.

But after a series of upheavals, the balance of status and strength among the three had quietly shifted.

Not only the mages—everyone else in the great hall likewise wore looks of profound relief—yet Li Qi was secretly growing anxious. At this moment he wished he could teleport straight over and seize the man at Romulus's side.

The muscleman nodded noncommittally. Lately the Horn of Friendship had been building warships and bearing the enormous expenses of war, and it was already running a deficit; even Sakura's reserve funds were nearly exhausted. Yet these things—these things were being spent by the thousands upon thousands, and not a single brow was furrowed.

Was this not doubting that the medicine was poisoned? Everyone knew that he himself had personally overseen the brewing of this bowl from start to finish—how could there possibly be a problem with it?

Inugi, having accelerated, hacked out more than a dozen sword strikes at me within a single second, each carrying hidden force, which left my defense somewhat flustered—though the power of space still had some effect on Inugi in high-speed mode.

The First Madam and the eldest young master were absolutely out of the question; they still wanted to make use of her, and would never be so foolish as to wreck their own game. As for the first concubine, the second concubine, the third concubine, and the newly arrived fourth concubine, it was impossible to say.

Ugh, you goof, a real goof. I already called you a goof, and here you are still asking me whether I'm calling you a goof.

With this move of hers played, the Dove Heavenly King, in order to avoid a clash with the River Heavenly King, would inevitably let Jiu Geyan take two palms. And Jiu Geyan was her greatest rival; once she was injured, her own chances of contending for the top three would improve considerably.

Lian Bao stood in the void, killing intent surging in his gaze. At a single thought, a flying sword appeared hovering before him, its cold light glinting, and in the blink of an eye it shot straight toward Xue Sha.

"Hmph, as if I'd believe you! Have you gotten tangled up with someone again, and, driven into a corner, you've come looking for me?" the City Lord's wife said, thoroughly displeased.

Zhong Sheng made up his mind, thought no more of it, turned to the right, and plunged deep into the vast starry sky to seek out a place where he might stand.

In a foul mood, he came to the Chuigong Hall and dismissed all his attendants. Zhao Shen stared at a desk full of memorials, and suddenly resentment welled up in his heart.

Yan Jin said nothing; he took the pill from Mu Ruyue's hand, waved his palm, and a beam of black light shot toward the man. Seizing the moment the man opened his mouth to cry out, he flicked a finger, and the pill dropped into his mouth.

"The more it itches, the more it proves your inner qi is abundant. Bear with it a while—if you cannot even endure an itch, how will you endure the pain to come?" the Evil Sovereign said faintly.

But at this moment Lian Cheng simply could not break free. Although Xue Tian had been badly wounded by that one sword strike, his fighting strength remained monstrously formidable.

Hu Li rarely wore such an embarrassed expression, and she spoke up: "I originally worked out the general pattern of the illusion formation in the forbidden forest, but now it seems this illusion formation is far more complex than I imagined—the pattern is changing at every moment of the day."
