The atmosphere in the room instantly turned heavy again.Yet strangely… the person at the center of all that pressure remained standing calmly by the window. There was no trace of surprise. No tension. Not even the slightest hint of honor—the natural reaction one would expect from someone personally summoned by the ruler of a nation.Alex simply gazed at the city panorama beyond the glass, as if the Emperor of Heliox’s message were nothing more than a passing morning breeze.The room stayed silent. Several seconds passed without a response.The Chief Warden remained respectfully bowed. He did not dare to press. He did not dare to repeat himself. Because he knew that the man before him was not an ordinary former inmate of Dragon Prison.He was someone whose very presence had altered the prison’s structure itself.Lori was the first to react.“A direct summons from the Emperor…” she murmured softly.Her tone was no longer relaxed.“This isn’t something that can simply be ignored. Even w

The VIP room fell silent in an instant. Even the soft hum of the air conditioner sounded clearer than before.Candra lowered his head slightly, trying to grasp the meaning behind his master’s words.Unlike him, Lori wore a faint smile. She was already accustomed to Alex’s style of play—not destroying things head-on,but building the illusion of victory first, then crushing it in a single move. Just like what Alex had done to her back in the Dragon Prison.Clara looked at Alex for several seconds. Her gaze was calm, yet it was clear she was thinking deeply.“So… you want to raise their expectations first,” she said softly.Alex did not answer immediately. He walked toward the living room sofa and sat down casually. His posture was relaxed, as if they were discussing an ordinary business plan—not the downfall of one of the province’s great families.“Overconfidence,” he said calmly, “is the most effective poison.”Lori crossed her arms and leaned lightly against the wall.“And the Han f

The atmosphere fell silent again after Alex’s final sentence landed lightly—yet carried invisible pressure.Han Yi did not respond immediately.His gaze grew even colder. His mind was clearly racing. Information about the welcoming banquet for Investor AX was a top-level secret within the Han Family. Even many major families in Sky Phoenix Province might not know about it yet, since the official invitations had not been distributed.Yet Alex spoke of it as if it were something trivial. That was what made Han Yi feel as though his chest were being pressed down.Alex waited a few seconds.One.Two.Three seconds passed without an answer.Only silence—and the wary stares from Han Yi and his entourage.The faint smile on Alex’s lips never changed.“No answer?”His tone remained relaxed, as if he truly didn’t care about his opponent’s response.Han Yi clenched his fist beneath his sleeve. His anger was clearly surging. But he was also aware—this was the city center. Many eyes were watching

That voice wasn’t loud. Yet it was enough to make several guests on the second floor turn their heads.Han Yi’s eyes were still wide open. His gaze was fixed straight on the young man sitting casually, slowly swirling a glass of wine.That calm, faint smile on his lips hadn’t changed at all since the last time he met Alex.‘Impossible…’His steps halted. His entourage also stopped, confused by the sudden change in their young master’s expression.In front of him… Alex remained seated in a relaxed posture. One hand rested on the table. The other held a wine glass. There wasn’t a single wound on him—only a face full of calm, unwavering confidence.Han Yi’s mind raced.A week ago, he had personally sent a secret message. He had ordered someone from the underworld of Sky Phoenix Province to “take care” of Alex in the remote territory of Dragon Prison.That person was no ordinary figure.Luke, the Leader of the Axe Gang.A shadow ruler whom even several major families were reluctant to pro

Alex only smiled faintly.“If that’s the case, I’ll take my leave.”He cupped his hands politely. He did not bow deeply, nor did he lower himself excessively. Yet it was enough to show respect.Silva watched him until the young man turned around.For a brief moment, their gazes met. There was no hostility. No awkwardness. Only a silent acknowledgment that today, Silva Acker had seen a man who was not captivated by beauty.'If only I…'*The evening sky of Phoenix Sky Province gradually turned orange. A gentle breeze drifted along the edges of the main road. Alex walked leisurely, as if he had not just made the provincial ruler promise to appear in a major conflict.But his steps stopped.Two figures appeared from across the street.One was a young man with slightly messy hair and a serious expression. The other was a somewhat muscular man with a firm face and sharp eyes.“Young Master.”Candra greeted first. Lori stood beside him and spoke without any small talk.“Everything you arran

Alex looked at Silva, who was now lowering her head.The daughter of the Acker family—the woman who, just minutes ago, had nearly ordered his execution—was now apologizing.“I misjudged you,” Silva said softly. Her voice was no longer cold, but heavy with regret.“As the young lady of the Provincial Ruler… I acted without fully understanding the situation.”The room fell silent again. Alex merely gave a slight nod.“I don’t mind.”Simple. Without sarcasm. Without satisfaction. It was precisely that calmness that made several elders feel even more pressured.Mr. Acker observed everything with sharp eyes. The more he watched Alex, the more he realized one thing.This young man was not only talented. He possessed a steady heart and an unshakable mentality, even when surrounded by death.A person like this, if he became an enemy, would be extremely dangerous.But if he became family… Mr. Acker took a deep breath as a brilliant idea suddenly appeared in his mind.“Alex.”Everyone straighte

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

“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

Qing Yuan stood in the center of the circle, gripping his staff tightly.“We have accused one another far too much without proof. If you still doubt Bintang, then let him answer for himself. Summon him here.”He glanced at Lue Yinan, who obediently nodded.A low murmur rippled through the chamber. Some agreed, some opposed, but in the end, the decision was accepted.Not long after, the heavy iron door at the far end of the room creaked open. The sound of footsteps echoed softly, yet each step felt as though it pierced straight into the heart.Bintang appeared, dressed in deep black robes with a long cloak trailing behind him. His hair flowed freely, and his eyes were calm like the night sky. The aura he carried was immense, as if a dragon had slipped into that confined chamber.Several elders instinctively tightened their grip on their staffs, even drawing deep breaths. Once again, they felt pressured simply by his presence.The white-haired elder, who had been the most vocal opponent

Inside the secret gathering of the Council Elders.The underground meeting chamber of the Soul Council was filled with dim torchlight, making the atmosphere even more suffocating. Twelve chairs formed a circle, all occupied by the most powerful elders of the Soul Nation.Silence lingered—until the white-haired elder finally broke it.“Bintang… that man is not an ally. He is poison. If we continue to let him remain by Kiana’s side, this nation’s throne may eventually fall into the hands of the ruler of Amerta.”“Exaggeration!” the long-bearded elder snapped, slamming his staff against the floor.“Without Bintang, Kiana would already be dead at the hands of Kancil Wong! Have you all gone blind? Or are you deliberately closing your eyes because you fear the shadows of the past?!”Wuuuuung… the air tightened.Some council members murmured and lowered their heads, while others dared to glare back sharply.“No matter how great his contribution,” the white-haired elder continued, “remember t

Bintang slowly lowered his sword. His gaze did not leave his disciple’s body, still bound by the remaining chains. Lue Yinan finally managed to remove them completely, and Kiana collapsed weakly into her master’s arms.“Master…” her voice was faint, but her eyes still carried that light of unwavering courage that always reminded Bintang of her indomitable spirit.“You have walked through hell, my disciple,” Bintang whispered. “But remember, suffering is not the end. It is the beginning of your destiny as the Emperor of the Nation of Jiwa. Even I did not expect that you would be the future Emperor of this land…”Kiana fell silent, her body trembling from the lingering sedative poison. Yet her master’s words were like a mantra sinking deep into her soul.That night, the Sky Dragon forces lit torches, guiding the way out of the headquarters that was now beginning to burn. Flames licked the steel walls, illuminating their faces.Qing Nan looked at Bintang’s back as he walked while carryin

In front of him stood Kancil Wong—thin, with a face carved by cunning lines. Beside him, a man in a black mask stood silently, yet the killing aura radiating from him was more terrifying than any army.Bintang stepped inside, his sword dripping with blood. His gaze locked instantly onto Kiana.“My disciple…”Kiana lifted her head, a faint smile appearing on her pale face. “Master, I knew you would come…”Kancil Wong burst into laughter. “Hahaha! So you really came alone. Good, good. Tonight will be the night of your death, and after this, the Nation of Amerta will be mine!”Bintang looked at him coldly. “You are not my match, Kancil Wong.”With lightning speed, Kancil Wong threw a small dagger. But before it could touch Bintang’s body, his sword had already moved, splitting the dagger in two.Wuuuuush!In the blink of an eye, his body vanished, reappearing right in front of Kancil Wong.A flash of steel cut through the air. Kancil Wong leapt backward, his robe sliced open. His express

The Dragon Axe headquarters truly changed after the Soul Nation Council decided to accept Bintang and the Sky Dragon Organization as official allies. Although most of the elders still looked at him with suspicion, they could not deny reality—only the Sky Dragon Organization was capable of matching Kancil Wong’s network.In the underground hall, a large table was filled with maps, photos, and intelligence reports. Bintang stood at the far end, his sharp eyes examining every detail.“Kancil Wong’s main base is at the northern harbor, an abandoned military weapons warehouse,” one of the scouts reported.“It is surrounded by seven-meter-high steel walls, guard towers at every corner, and more than two hundred armed troops.”Qing Nan looked serious. “A direct assault would be suicide.”Bintang smiled faintly. “Who said we’re going to attack from the front?”He stabbed a small dagger into the map, right on the water channel that ran beneath the base. “This is the way. This route has long be

Tuuut… Tuuut… Tuuut!Suddenly, Qing Nan’s phone rang. Bintang and Lue Yinan exchanged glances for a moment. Then a clear voice came from the other end of the line.“Kiana has been kidnapped… Honorable young master, forgive my troops for failing to protect her!”Deeeeggh!Qing Nan instinctively ended the call. His body trembled. If Kiana was in danger, how could he ever repay his adoptive father?“If only I had killed Kancil Wong back then… this would never have happened!”“There’s no point in regret now. Return to headquarters and prepare a plan,” Bintang replied quickly, a trace of worry finally appearing on his face.*At Kancil Wong’s headquarters.Kiana was chained to an iron chair. Her eyes were dull, her body weak from the sedative poison. Yet her gaze still burned with courage.Kancil Wong, thin and cunning-faced, circled around her like a snake.“Hahaha… Princess Qing, you don’t even know how many people want your head. You are the most valuable treasure in this country! Whoev
