However, finding no answers, Li Jie jumped down and dashed toward the largest tent. From the flickering firelight inside, he could see several human silhouettes within.Moving stealthily, Li Jie approached the tent and stopped right behind it. He sharpened his hearing, trying to catch the conversation of the people inside."Three hours before sunrise, we must set off. They certainly won’t expect our attack this time!" said one of the voices inside.Li Jie furrowed his brows, wondering silently, Where are they planning to attack?He kept listening, hoping to learn the main point of their discussion. But even after the men dispersed and left the tent, he still had no satisfying answer about their target.When the area grew quiet, Li Jie returned to where Jian Ying was waiting."So, who are they actually?" the beautiful girl asked."I don’t know. The information I got is very little. All I know is that they’ll depart before dawn to attack—but where, I have no idea," Li Jie replied in fru

Emperor Zan Ziming smiled at Li Jie’s question. He did not answer immediately, but stood up and walked toward a large cabinet in the corner of the hall.A heavy sigh escaped the lips of the forty-year-old man before he opened the cabinet. It was as if he were holding back a crushing weight upon his chest.When the cabinet doors swung open, Emperor Zan Ziming retrieved a magnificent diamond-encrusted crown. He also took out the royal robe, folded neatly."Brother, as I once promised, I will hand over the throne when you return. But since it is your son who has come, he is the one who rightfully inherits it," Emperor Zan Ziming said silently in his heart, his eyes fixed on the robe and crown in his hands.He approached Li Jie and then knelt before the handsome young man.Li Jie was startled and immediately helped Emperor Zan Ziming to his feet. "Uncle, what are you doing?""Li Jie, I once promised your father that if he returned one day, I would hand over this throne to him. But when I

"What’s so special about your sword? I don’t feel anything that would make me afraid to hold it." Commander Wei Zi's tone grew sharper. The young woman’s words seemed to have insulted him in front of his own soldiers.Jian Ying smiled as she handed over the Demon Blade of the Warrior to the middle-aged man. "Don’t blame me if something happens to you."Wei Zi was further provoked by her challenge. He grabbed the Demon Blade of the Warrior, holding it as if he were cradling a child."See? Nothing’s happening to me. You were just bluffing!"Li Jie could only sigh. He could sense that the man’s inner energy was being slowly absorbed into the blade he was holding.With arrogant pride, Commander Wei Zi swung the blade up and down like a toy. But suddenly, he felt a strong pull draining his energy. "What is this!? Aaakh!"A low groan escaped his lips.Despite his efforts to resist, the commander couldn’t withstand the force that was sucking out his inner strength. Worse, the sword stuck to

Sin Wei and Wu Long remained silent as they listened to every instruction given to them by the Demon King, Han Zifeng.Afterwards, the two of them left the hall to deliberate on who they would recruit to join them in hunting Mao Tung and the others on Earth.They also had another plan: to undermine the dominance of trust that the members of the Warrior Demon Clan placed in Mao Tung. Their method would be to spread rumors that Mao Tung had joined forces with Xiao Chen.Of course, they wouldn't spread the rumors themselves. Instead, they would use members of the Warrior Demon Clan who already leaned toward supporting them as the rightful leaders of the clan.Eventually, the devious plan was set in motion. Sin Wei and Wu Long appointed four of their followers to spread the news among the rest of the Warrior Demon Clan.The rumor of Mao Tung's betrayal spread quickly, stirring up both support and opposition. Those who knew Mao Tung well refused to believe the rumor without seeing the trut

Li Jie nodded. “Very well, Aunt. But we might not be able to stay there for long,” he replied while taking the package she handed him and tucking it inside his clothing.Queen Yue Qi and Emperor Huang Jia saw Li Jie off until he reached the city gates. The two young warriors then continued their journey toward Mount Gobi.---Meanwhile, in the realm of the gods…Demon King Han Zifeng had been restless for the past few days. He still couldn’t accept the fact that his warlord had been killed in battle against Mao Tung.To replace Tan Hui’s role as the Demon Nation’s warlord, King Han Zifeng summoned two figures who looked almost identical, distinguishable only by a slight difference in height.Sin Wei and Wu Long were twin brothers, both appointed to become the new warlords of the Demon Nation.The two demons strode confidently into a grand hall resembling a throne chamber, where Demon King Han Zifeng ruled.“Do you two know why I summoned you here?” asked the king.“We do not, Your Maj

"All this time, I’ve only been using you, Queen. I never had a real problem with you, so it’s better for you to step aside—or I’ll make you my enemy too!" shouted Commander Wei Zi."By trying to kill my husband, you’ve already made me your enemy, Wei Zi!" snapped the beautiful woman."Hahahaha…! You’re too stubborn, Queen. Now, no one can save your husband from death!" roared Commander Wei Zi."Says who? Look behind you!" Queen Yue Qi replied with a faint smile.Curious about what the queen meant, Commander Wei Zi turned his head. But just as he did, a swift slash severed his right arm. The hand that still gripped the sword fell to the ground.Li Jie had taken advantage of Commander Wei Zi's lost focus after responding to Queen Yue Qi's rage. In a flash, he moved and stood behind the traitor.It took precision and speed for Li Jie to sever Commander Wei Zi’s right arm. One wrong move could have put Emperor Huang Jia’s life in grave danger.After a painful scream escaped Commander Wei

“But I will not accept being accused of belonging to that cursed sect! If they dare accuse me again, I’ll make sure everyone here dies!” A Long’s yellowish skin turned white as his anger flared.“Don’t be afraid, he’s only trying to scare us!” shouted A Fu, trying to sway the others.“If you accuse us one more time, I will let my brother here kill all of you!” Fang An barked, pointing his finger straight at A Fu’s face, which immediately froze in silence.“Watch your tongue, A Fu!” another man shouted, backing Fang An.Ying Sue and all the villagers in the dining house swallowed nervously. They didn’t know whether the young, sharp-eyed man’s words were true or just a bluff. But one thing was certain: the accusations A Fu hurled at the two young men were a mistake.“If you don’t want us in this village, we will leave. But only after we finish our meal. If I hear even one more accusation, I’ll hang the man’s head at the village ga

"Yu Wei, how are the preparations for the Grand Blood Moon Ritual? Is everything ready?""My apologies, Leader… Of the thirteen virgins required for the grand ritual, we are still short of two. Our members are already moving to find the remaining ones. I am certain that before the ritual begins, the number will be complete," replied the long-haired man named Yu Wei."For the success of this grand ritual, I entrust everything to you, Yu Wei. Do not fail me, for I have never known the word failure. You know very well what I will do to you if the ritual fails!" said the man who was, in fact, Ren Zhi, the leader of the Holy Blood Moon Sect.It should be known that the Grand Blood Moon Ritual was a mandatory ceremony for Ren Zhi. Besides strengthening his martial power, the ritual also served to keep the leader of the Holy Blood Moon Sect eternally youthful.If at present his face looked around thirty-five years old, then after the ritual he

Fang An gave a small smile and nodded."At the very least, we need some information from you, Sir, about the situation inside that sect."Duke Song Jian took a deep breath and released it slowly."As for the current situation, I do not know, Prince. It has been more than twenty years since I last joined them.""It’s all right, Sir. At least it can serve as a rough picture for the two of us about the situation there. But for now, we want to bathe first. Later, we will meet you again," Fang An said."Very well, Prince." Duke Song Jian bowed slightly to show respect. After that, he walked back to his chamber.Nearly two hours passed before Fang An and A Fu came out of their room. The two of them hurried toward Duke Song Jian’s private chamber to continue their discussion.Inside the chamber, Duke Song Jian still looked uneasy about the situation he was facing.On one hand, he feared that Fang An and A Fu might fail in their plan to attack the Holy Blood Moon Sect. If that happened, he to

Although it looked like a smile, to the four figures dressed in black, the smile on Fang An’s lips appeared terrifying and intimidating. The wide grin of the young man with white hair instantly drained their courage.“You must have thought we had already left this province, didn’t you?” Fang An chuckled softly, recalling how he and A Long had led their horses out of the palace gate earlier that morning.The four figures exchanged disbelieving glances. They, who were used to spying, had now been thwarted by two young men still younger than them in age.The exits were sealed tightly, leaving the black-clad figures confused about what decision to make. Their only hope of escape was to fight back, though they knew the chance of success was almost nonexistent.Unconsciously, cold sweat began to drip from their pores. The chill that gripped their bodies was nothing compared to the icy sweat brought on by fear.“Why do you look so confused? Relax, I won’t kill you. But on one condition—tell

“The Sacred Blood Moon Sect is a dark sect hidden in a valley beyond Mount Yuelu, Prince. They use the blood of virgins for their offerings,” explained Duke Song Jian.“Then why are they extorting you, Duke? What connection do you have with them?” Fang An pressed. He already sensed a breakthrough.The duke lowered his head, regret written across his face.“I was once part of them, Prince. I joined secretly before I was married.”“And after you married, you left them?”“Yes, Prince. I left without permission from Ren Zhi, the leader of the Sacred Blood Moon Sect.”Fang An nodded, understanding. He could see the duke’s regret was genuine.No matter how strong a man was, when the safety of his wife and children was threatened, he would become fragile—especially when he was powerless to act.“Very well. Now we know who the perpetrators are. What remains is to uncover which of their members is hiding inside this palace.” Fang An’s gaze lifted to the ceiling as he thought hard.“Do you have

Not long after, the two of them finally arrived in front of the palace of Province Sihan. The gates, which had been tightly closed, opened at once when the two young warriors arrived.From inside, a finely dressed man escorted by two guards hurried toward the gate.Fang An and A Long leapt down from their horses and handed the reins to a soldier.“Welcome to Province Sihan, Prince Fang An, Prince A Long. It is truly a great honor for me to receive the arrival of both Princes.” The finely dressed man, who turned out to be Duke Song Jian, bowed respectfully.“Do not be so formal, Duke. We just happened to pass by, so we decided to stop here. Besides, we also need a place to rest for the night,” replied Fang An with a smile, though his sharp eyes studied the finely dressed figure before him.From his experience dealing with officials, such respectful behavior often had two meanings. Some showed respect because of rank and position, while others used it to flatter or to cover up their wro
