Elsewhere, Cheng Yu and Mo Lin, along with their fifty men, had already returned to the fortress. Their arrival, much earlier than expected, left Qian Hao and his two brothers puzzled.“Did the two of you find out who was spying on our fortress?” Qian Hao asked.Cheng Yu drew a long breath. His eyes wandered far away before answering.“We didn’t find any clue. In fact, during our search, we received bad news.”Qian Hao furrowed his brow.“What do you mean by bad news?”“It seems that a hundred of our men have been awakened. I’m still uncertain, but I strongly believe the one responsible is our master,” Cheng Yu replied.This time, both of Qian Hao’s eyebrows knit together. His growing shock was clear.“How could Master be behind this? He is supposed to be in seclusion, meditating to strengthen his martial arts.”“I thought the same at first,” Cheng Yu admitted. “But think carefully—do you even know where Master has been meditating all this time? And don’t you remember? The only one wh

Mo Lin and Cheng Yu had no inkling of what was about to happen. They were confident in their own abilities, especially since within the Tong Dynasty there were not many warriors of true caliber. And the two of them were among the strongest.The sound of dry leaves crunching and bushes rustling accompanied the sweep led by Mo Lin and Cheng Yu, who commanded the Dark Prince’s followers. Every suspicious spot was thoroughly examined.Following the directions given by the gate guards, Mo Lin and Cheng Yu led fifty men. They would not stop until they reached the edge of the forest. Their eyes scanned not only the ground but also the treetops. From time to time, the two of them leapt lightly onto branches if something seemed suspicious.The farther they went, the less sign they saw of the spies they were searching for—nor of the more than one hundred men who had gone ahead in pursuit. Everything seemed normal, even after three hours of sweeping.As nightfall approached, Cheng Yu and Mo Lin

Suddenly, his gaze shifted elsewhere. His eyes narrowed as he spotted a group of followers of the Dark Prince running toward their position. Not just a group—more than a hundred members of the fortress were charging straight at the three of them. “It seems we have another problem,” said the old man. A Long and Fang An followed A Fu’s gaze. Both were startled at the sight of more than a hundred of the Dark Prince’s followers rushing at them. It wouldn’t have been much of an issue if the three simply killed them all, but Fang An insisted they must not kill—still holding onto the hope that these people’s minds could be restored. The problem was, it was equally impossible to incapacitate them all without causing injury. “Their number isn’t too great. Don’t you think, Grandfather, you could use that spell to awaken them?” Fang An asked. A Fu understood what Fang An wanted. The young

Atop a giant tree with lush, sprawling leaves—on one of its broad branches—the three of them observed sharply, like an eagle stalking its prey. The density of the great tree was the very reason A Fu chose it as their vantage point. Not only was it difficult to spot them from below, but from this towering height they could clearly see the inside of the fortress. Hundreds of members within the fortress were busy with their respective activities. Yet strangely, all their faces looked the same—blank and cold. There was no conversation, no laughter exchanged among them. Not even a simple greeting was seen. It was as if none of them knew one another. “So this is what happens when a human’s mind is washed. They’re nothing more than the living dead—moving and working, yet devoid of thought,” Fang An whispered. “Yes, this is the result… and I feel deeply guilty. If I had known this was w

The five black-clad figures who had been thrown far back earlier had now regrouped behind the old man. Though badly injured from the recent clash, they still managed to stay alive.“Master…!” they called out in unison.“What were you doing to this young warrior, my disciples?”“We only tried to stop him from going deeper into the forest, Master,” one of them replied.“You five should never have forced yourselves to fight him! Fortunately, this young warrior was merciful enough not to unleash his full power,” said the old man.“My apologies, Elder. My troops and I were only passing through, we had no intention of causing trouble,” Fang An replied respectfully.“Troops? Where are they?”Fang An turned his head when he heard the sound of galloping hooves drawing near.“Are you all right? What happened?” asked A Long as he leapt from his horse.“It’s nothing, just a misunderstanding.” The old man cut in before Fang An could answer.“Is that really so?” A Long stared at Fang An.“Yes, just

“Be careful! If he can see through the Shadow Illusion Technique, then we’ll have to fight hard to defeat him,” said one of the five figures.“You’re right. He’s coming this way, get ready!” replied his companion.“I don’t know what you mean. But if you intend to block my path, I won’t hesitate to kill you!” Fang An’s voice rang out cold and flat.“Don’t get arrogant, warrior. I admit you’re impressive for breaking through our Shadow Illusion Technique—but you haven’t seen our true formation yet!” one of them shot back. “Formation—now!”Two of them immediately launched an attack with incredible speed. Their movements were so fast, precise, and coordinated that Fang An found it difficult at first to counterattack.A third man soon joined in, forcing Fang An to stay on the defensive as attacks rained down in succession. Bit by bit, however, Fang An began to adjust to their rhythm and started landing counterstrikes.General Lao Zun observed the battle from a distance. He had no intention

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
