The atmosphere in the hall completely froze. No one dared to speak.Dozens of guests could only stare at Alex in shock. The words he had just spoken were far too direct.He was no longer even trying to hide the hostility.Han Yi narrowed his eyes.But this time… Alex’s expression was no longer the same as before.The calmness was still there. Yet something had changed. An invisible aura… one that clearly carried pressure.Alex slowly stepped forward.The step itself was not loud.But the sound of his shoes touching the marble floor echoed in everyone’s ears like a thunderclap.His gaze was now fully fixed on Han Yi.“Because this game… has only just begun.”His voice was low, yet every word sounded perfectly clear.“And I want you to watch with your own eyes… how everything collapses.”Several guests felt goosebumps rise along their arms.Han Yi could only grit his teeth.“Stop pretending!”He pointed at Alex angrily.“AX? Destroy the Han family? You think I’ll believe that nonsense?!

Han Yi did not answer immediately. His eyes remained fixed on the screen of his phone.The message he had just read seemed to drain all the blood from his face. Someone behind him finally lost patience.“What is it, Young Master?”Han Yi swallowed. The hand holding his phone trembled slightly. He read the message again, as if hoping the contents would somehow change.But the numbers on the screen remained the same.Finally, he spoke quietly.“This… is impossible…”Several members of the Han family exchanged glances.“What happened?”Han Yi raised his phone slightly, but his voice sounded stiff.“The stock market…”Several guests immediately straightened in their seats.“Several of the Han family’s major stocks… suddenly dropped.”Whispers instantly spread throughout the hall.“Dropped? How could that happen?”An elderly man from the Han family quickly stepped forward.“How many percent?”Han Yi looked at the screen again.“Eight percent…”The words immediately shocked several people.

The hall grew even quieter. Some guests even held their breath. The gazes of dozens of people were now fixed once again on Han Yi.The phone was still in his hand.The mocking expression on his face had not completely disappeared… but now a trace of doubt had begun to appear behind his eyes.Alex still stood casually in the same spot.As if he already knew exactly what would happen next.“Call him,” Alex repeated calmly.Han Yi clenched his teeth slightly.But in front of so many people… he could not back down now.If Alex was merely bluffing, then this call would only embarrass him in front of all the guests.With a firm movement, Han Yi opened the contacts on his phone.A few seconds later, a name appeared on the screen.Candra.Several members of the Han family immediately recognized the name.It was indeed true. He was the person who had long served as the intermediary between the Han family and the mysterious investor AX.Han Yi pressed the call button.Several guests leaned forw

The hall fell silent once again. Han Yi’s question hung in the air. Dozens of pairs of eyes were now fixed on Alex again.Some of the guests began nodding in agreement with Han Yi’s logic. In the business world, reputation was indeed just as important as money.However, Alex remained standing casually in his place, as if all that pressure had not touched him at all.He even gave a faint smile. Then he slowly clapped his hands once.Tok.That small sound was enough to draw the hall’s attention back to him.Alex looked at Han Yi calmly.“Reputation… influence… and business networks.”He repeated Han Yi’s earlier words in a light tone.“A rather good opinion.”Several guests were slightly surprised. They had expected Alex to feel offended.But no… Alex looked as if he were simply speaking casually.He continued.“And you’re right.”“Money alone is indeed not enough.”He glanced at the large screen displaying the Han family’s investment charts.Then he looked back at Han Yi.“But there is

Several Han family technicians immediately turned on the large screen behind the podium.The lights in the hall were slightly dimmed. The atmosphere grew even quieter. Now everyone was waiting for Alex’s reaction.The gazes of dozens of influential figures in the province were fixed on the table where the young man sat.But what was surprising…Alex did not look pressured at all. He was still sitting casually in his chair. His hand reached for the glass of water on the table.He took a small sip. Then he placed the glass back down.His movements were calm. Unhurried. As if he were enjoying an ordinary dinner, not being the center of an interrogation in front of the province’s elites.Clara glanced at him briefly. The corner of her lips lifted slightly.Yet strangely, the three great family heads beside him also remained calm. They even gave Alex respectful looks.Finally, Alex stood up. His chair slid softly across the marble floor.Everyone immediately fell silent.Alex did not walk

The roar from the head of the Saw family instantly made the atmosphere at the entrance tense.The guests who were lining up immediately turned their heads. Some even began whispering among themselves.After all, it wasn’t every day they saw the head of a major family getting angry in public.However, the security staff remained where they were standing. Their faces were slightly pale, but they didn’t dare step back.“Sir… we are only following orders.”The atmosphere grew even hotter.At that moment, a calm voice was heard from inside the building.“There’s no need to make a scene.”Everyone immediately turned around. The sound of leather shoes echoed clearly across the marble floor.Han Yi walked out from the main entrance with a composed demeanor. His black suit looked perfectly neat, and several personal bodyguards followed behind him.His gaze swept across the crowd briefly, then stopped on Alex. Yet his expression remained indifferent.“Head of the Saw family,” he said lightly.“

“Nan’er, don’t go near your father! His memories haven’t fully recovered yet!” Yuan Yin shouted in panic.However, the caregiver named Fei Yi suddenly changed her appearance into Wen Shi. Everyone was instantly shocked by this sight—especially Luo Xiang, who had already regained all of his past memories.“Shi’er… h-how can you be alive again?!”Pulling the sword out of her own chest, Wen Shi gave a faint smile and said softly,“My fate has always been cruel. My life was toyed with… This reality was never fair to me. Gege, I was resurrected by Chang Guan…”Her body then turned into black smoke and slowly dissipated.In the next moment, Luo Nan rushed forward and hugged his father tightly. He cried uncontrollably, and his sobs soon spread to Yuan Yin as well. She ran over and embraced her husband tightly.With his memories restored, deep regret surged within Luo Xiang’s heart. He had left Yuan Yin when she needed him the most. Even worse, he felt he had failed Luo Nan as a father.“Yin’

“I don’t remember what kind of relationship you have with me. I don’t even remember anything about myself. I only want to know one thing… wasn’t it you who gave energy to the Third Heavenly Judge? What exactly are your intentions?”Setting down his small cup, the masked man clapped his hands, clearly praising Luo Xiang’s words.“In short, it’s very simple. I want to restore your lost memories. Living without a clear identity—doesn’t that lead to endless loneliness?”“With such good intentions… you must also want something from me, right?”“Hahahaha! Nothing in this world is free. Sword God, my request is very simple… I only want you to appear and kill the Supreme Emperor during the Ranking Tournament.”The Sword God fell silent in deep thought. But suddenly, Long Hua Chen, his three brothers, and Yuan Yin emerged from the void.“Gege!”Swuuuuuush!“Do you want to interfere? Isn’t it true that, to avenge the hatred in your hearts, you all share the same plan as mine? Or will you all be

Just as he was about to leave to meet the person in question, thousands of Heavenly troops suddenly surrounded Yuan Yin and the Light Clan forces.“The Light Clan has allied with the power of the Main Gods to betray the Supreme Emperor… A decree of extermination has been issued. You are now surrounded. Surrender!”Yuan Yin smiled faintly and struck the ground with her palm. Instantly, a massive formation shaped like radiant swords emerged from every corner of the grand formation established by the Light Clan. All the swords were now poised to launch an attack against the thousands of Heavenly troops.“Wife of the Sword God… why do you still insist on rebelling?”“If you hadn’t impersonated the Sword God and schemed to overthrow the Supreme Emperor’s throne, we would never have acted!”“Now, surrender!”Rooooaaaaarh!Swuuuuuuuuuush! Swuuuuuuuush!The Dragon God—and the entire Dragon Clan army—suddenly appeared from multiple directions. Their arrival immediately put the Heavenly troops

“Th-this technique…”The Sky Judge’s body trembled. He was vaguely familiar with several of the Sword God’s techniques.The moment he realized that his opponent was the real Sword God, he immediately ordered several five-star True God–stage resurrection soldiers to destroy the barrier formation that was imprisoning them.However, thousands of swords had already shot forth, slicing their bodies into countless pieces. The outcome was completely unexpected.Slaaaaaaash! Slaaaaaaash!The thousands of swords controlled by the masked man grew even more frenzied. Every single resurrection soldier present was annihilated without leaving a trace.In the end, only the Third Sky Judge remained.Luo Xiang clearly intended to kill him. Yet suddenly, a wisp of black mist surged into the Sky Judge’s body. Instantly, his eyes turned blood-red.“Damn it… Who interfered?”Luo Xiang spread out his divine soul perception, trying to locate the entity that had released the black mist.Suddenly, the Sky Jud

“Then what should we do?”“Hua Chen, you search for and monitor the masked man’s movements… As for the others, continue carrying out the plan as arranged. Qin Yan, do your utmost to conceal my husband’s existence and identity. Do not let him be exploited by the Supreme Emperor’s faction…”“We have heard and accepted the Queen’s command!”*High above the sky, after concealing his aura, Luo Xiang was utterly shocked by the conversation he had just overheard. Everything sounded extremely reasonable—especially the implication that he himself seemed to have a deep connection with that group. Moreover, because of the golden sword that had pierced the ground, he could not approach them directly, at least not before obtaining solid proof of the truth.“I’m aware that I have no one by my side. The only clue I possess is a single letter left by the Enlightened Emperor… It’s better if I don’t reveal myself for now…”Swuuuuuuush!Using his spatial power once more, Luo Xiang arrived above the cen

“Report this matter to the Queen…”Swuuuuuuush!Long Hua Chen chased after the direction in which the golden sword had flown. As for Qin Yan, he also departed, but headed in a different direction.*Elsewhere, Luo Xiang saw Xue Xan Kong leave through a teleportation formation and immediately used his spatial power. He appeared right in front of the man, whose face instantly turned pale.“M-my lord… D-didn’t you say you would release me and my family?!”Without replying, Luo Xiang sensed the aura of a mysterious figure approaching his direction and swiftly struck Xue Xan Kong’s movement meridians. After that, he carried the immobilized man into a quiet forest.Releasing the seal, Luo Xiang said, “I don’t wish to kill anyone else… Now tell me, what exactly happened to the Sword God one year ago?”“W-who are you? How could you not know such a major event?”“Speak clearly. I don’t like beating around the bush!”Xue Xan Kong’s body trembled. Although the masked man’s tone sounded calm, he

The sky over the Lotus Kingdom that night was covered in a thin mist, while the sound of night insects mixed with the ringing of palace bells that signaled the changing of the guards. Inside a chamber carved with jade lotus patterns, Prince Arka sat in his chair, his face half hidden in the shadow of an oil lamp.His loyal servant, Xu He, knelt before him.“Your Highness… your wounds have not yet healed. You should not push yourself too hard.”Arka gave a crooked smile, though there was still a trace of dried blood at the corner of his lips. But he refused to let a mere fly disturb the dream of his life.“A wound on the body is a small matter. The wound in my heart is far deeper… I was humiliated before the entire people of Lotus. The girl who should have belonged to me instead descended to approach that foreign man with admiration in her eyes. Xu He… do you think I will allow that?”Xu He lowered his head. “Of course not, Your Highness.”Arka stood and gazed out the window toward the

The cheers of the spectators were still roaring, but among the thousands of faces filled with admiration, there was one pair of eyes burning red with anger.“Wait?!”His voice cut through the cheers, and even Lily smiled cynically. At last, someone had stepped out of hiding.It was Prince Arka, the son of the highest noble of the Lotus Kingdom and the heir whom the people had long believed would one day be paired with Lily. The man stood on a side balcony of the palace, his face handsome but his gaze dark—filled with an excessive sense of possession as he looked at Lily’s elegance.“Lily…” he muttered bitterly. “You should belong only to me. But now… a wandering stranger dares to stain my dream.”His hand clenched until his knuckles turned white.*Meanwhile, Bintang bowed respectfully toward the golden tower where Lily stood. His expression did not change—still calm, still filled with confidence—but in his heart he whispered,“The first trial is finished. But I can feel it… something

On the third dawn after the wedding celebration, Bintang left the palace without any escort. He wore simple gray-black clothing, hiding his identity as the Dragon King. At his waist hung a jade sword, a gift from the Grand King, but he covered it with a coarse cloth.He knew that the journey to the Lotus Nation was not a diplomatic visit, but a personal trial given by the Goddess of Wealth.*The Amerta Sea was calm, yet the small boat he rode swayed with the waves. Throughout the journey, he was accompanied only by the sound of the wind and the cries of seagulls.In his heart he whispered,“My four wives looked at me with such trust… I cannot disappoint them. But Goddess of Wealth, why test me in this way? What are you really hiding?”*Several days later, the Lotus Nation appeared in the distance. White-walled palaces stood in the middle of a vast lake, surrounded by countless lotus flowers in shades of purple and gold that never withered.However, the moment his feet stepped onto t

That afternoon, the sky above Amerta seemed to glow in celebration. Thin clouds drifted slowly, while golden sunlight fell upon the Dragon Palace adorned with thousands of colorful lanterns. The flags of the Amerta nation once again fluttered proudly on every tower, while the streets were filled with cheering citizens.“Victory—and this celebration is for the Dragon King?!”“Long live the Dragon King!”In the main courtyard, a grand wedding platform made of gold and jade stood magnificently. Four smaller thrones were placed beside Bintang’s seat, each prepared for his four mentors: the Goddess of War, the Goddess of Gambling, the Goddess of Medicine, and the Goddess of Beauty.The sound of gamelan blended with the melody of dragon flutes, creating music that carried both sacred and joyful tones. The fragrance of incense mixed with the sweet scent of jasmine flowers filled the air.Two ancient families, noble houses, and even representatives from allied nations had come to witness the

The morning fog over the Eastern Sea waters slowly cleared. Merchant ships that once carried the proud flags of the Eastern Sea now sailed empty, without destination. The Pearl Route, which had been the lifeline of Eastern Sea trade for centuries, now lay silent like a dried river.The Emperor of the Eastern Sea stood inside the coral palace that had once been magnificent, surrounded by glittering walls of sea crystals. Yet the luxury now felt hollow. Outside, the voices of hungry and restless citizens never ceased. Merchants were furious, fishermen could not sell their catches, and noble families were fleeing one by one to foreign lands.Inside the council chamber, the ministers bowed in fear. One of them whispered,“Your Majesty… the nation can no longer endure. All our assets have been frozen, our supply routes severed, and every ally has shut their doors. If we continue to resist, our own people will be the ones to ignite rebellion.”The Emperor of the Eastern Sea clenched his fis

After the great battle ended, Bintang ordered all members of the Sky Dragon Organization to assist the civilians and the wounded soldiers. Soon after, Kiana, the Emperor of the Soul Nation, arrived with many physicians from her country.“Master… my condolences.”Bintang looked at his disciple gently.“Kiana, battle cannot be avoided. Thank you for coming.”Kiana nodded and looked seriously at the dozens of physicians behind her.“Help everyone who is injured until they recover. Remember, do not take any advantage of this place.”“Yes, Your Majesty.”The heavy workload soon became lighter as ships carrying aid began arriving from several other nations.*After the situation gradually became stable, Bintang returned to the Blue Dragon Palace. Many important high officials gathered for an emergency meeting to face the serious challenges ahead.Bintang looked at them one by one.“The sea war was decided by strength. But the next war will no longer be about weapons or power. It will involv

King Tian's eyes widened in shock. The moon pendant in the young man's hand was exactly the same as the one shown by the Fire Emperor. For a moment, he stared at Yuan Bei's face. But in the end, he had to accept the reality that his life was now in the hands of the very young man he had been searching for all this time."Y-you...""Your comrades are all dead. How about you join them in the afterlife?!"King Tian shook his head and quickly spoke in a desperate tone."N-no! Didn't you say you would consider sparing me if I told you who ordered me?"Yuan Bei smirked and replied, "What I meant was, I would consider how you die under this flaming sword..."Slaaaaash!"K-King Tian is dead?!""Oh no! This is the first time I've seen a young man kill the strongest King in the Eastern Region... Who is he really?!""Whoever he is, he must have an extraordinary background! Look, King Tian didn't even get to use his full power! But now, he has died like a demonic beast being slaughtered!" The cul

"Looking for the King? Then step over my dead body first!"General Yuan dashed forward with her sword. As she arrived in front of Yuan Bei, the woman immediately thrust her sword forward.However, Yuan Bei did not move an inch from where he stood. Instead, he raised one hand and opened two fingers, pinching the blade between them."I am looking for KING TIAN!"Swooooosh!He unleashed the Dragon Heart Flame, burning the sword trapped between his fingers. Instantly, the black-golden flames spread and began consuming General Yuan’s body. The woman’s eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly tried to let go of her sword’s hilt."It's... it's burning!"She frantically waved her hands, desperately trying to extinguish the flames. But the Dragon Heart Flame could not be put out. Slowly, her eyes remained wide open as she watched her fingers and arms turn to ash."Pl-please help me... this fire won’t go out at all..."Swuuuuuuush!A blood-red shadow flashed through the air, speeding toward the p

Yuan Bei stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with sharp eyes. He then responded to the question in a flat tone."I did it because he made a mistake against me...""A mistake? In this city, I make the rules… Since when does a young cultivator dare to act so recklessly here? And you even dared to injure my son's wrist!"Yuan Bei's face turned red with anger. The hatred and resentment that had consumed him after discovering the mastermind behind the destruction of Cenayang Village only fueled his frustration even more."So, what do you want to do about it?""Break both of your hands and leave this city immediately!""Father, isn't that too lenient?! Wouldn't it be better if you broke both his arms and legs instead?!" Qing Tian's demands became even more outrageous."Hmph! Do you even have the power to do that?"Uninterested in engaging with them, Yuan Bei prepared to use his Qi wings to leave the city. However, before he could take off, Qing Lao suddenly leaped toward him using

"So, do you consider my life as nothing more than a wolf’s stepping stone?"Swuuuuuush!Qing Tian leaped forward. Without hesitation, he launched a fierce attack, his fist hurtling towards his opponent.Seeing the incoming strike, Yuan Bei casually shifted his body to the side. With ease, he caught Qing Tian’s fist in the palm of his hand.Kraaaaaaack!Qing Tian's eyes widened in shock as he felt the bones in his arm snap when Yuan Bei twisted it clockwise."Y-you broke my arm…" Qing Tian staggered backward, his face turning red with a mix of pain and frustration."Next time, don’t act recklessly if your skills aren’t enough." Yuan Bei spoke coldly before turning away, leaving Qing Tian behind as he made his way toward the grand Information Tower.The surrounding cultivators who had witnessed the brief confrontation murmured among themselves."It wasn’t Qing Tian who was reckless, but that young man… Offending Qing Tian in Black Rain City might bring serious trouble upon him.""True,

Flashback.When Yuan Bei was just five years old, on his birthday, a great tragedy befell his family. A group of people suddenly came and destroyed their modest home.At the same time, both his parents were killed by a technique eerily similar to the one Bai Chen was now using."Bei, what are you thinking?! Your opponent’s technique isn’t ordinary!" Cai Lin quickly reminded Yuan Bei.Snapping out of his thoughts, Yuan Bei realized too late that the lightning attack was already upon him. He hastily created a shield using his fire element.Craaaaack! Boom!Although he managed to block it, the stream of lightning energy kept surging forward. Bai Chen, seeing his opponent struggling to withstand the attack, smirked faintly and said,"Do you think you can stop it? Tch! Why bother watching someone who’s about to die? I’d rather…"He paused mid-sentence and turned around, now gazing passionately at Ling Ying’s figure. Slowly, he began walking toward her, licking his lips as he went.But in t

"Although he was only pushed back a few steps, this was enough to prove that the young man in front of me must have obtained unimaginable fortune. With such terrifying growth, I cannot afford to let him become my enemy in the future!" Bai Chen muttered to himself before quickly dashing toward Yuan Bei, forming a sword of lightning elements from within his body.Observing Bai Chen's movements, Yuan Bei swiftly summoned a sword of flame elements. Instantly, the two elemental swords clashed with each other.The resulting energy fluctuations filled the air, but both combatants pulled back their swords and began engaging in an intense exchange of sword techniques. The graceful yet lethal movements displayed by Yuan Bei left Bai Chen in awe. For a moment, he admired the beauty of Yuan Bei's swordsmanship. However, he quickly snapped out of it, realizing the danger in underestimating his opponent."Damn it, I let myself be mesmerized by his sword technique..." Feeling cornered by Yuan Bei's
