Chapter 710 The forest path fell silent after Wang Lei's arrival.The mocking smile on his face grew wider as he observed Jiang Su's calm expression.For Wang Lei, this was one of the few pleasures he still enjoyed.Humiliating the former genius.Humiliating the person who had once stood above him.Years ago, Wang Lei had been one of the many young cultivators overshadowed by Jiang Su's brilliance.Back then, whenever people spoke of Fang City's younger generation, only one name mattered.Jiang Su.The unparalleled genius.The pride of Fang City.The child destined to shake the heavens.Every accomplishment Wang Lei achieved was compared to Jiang Su's achievements.Every breakthrough he made was dismissed because Jiang Su had done it faster.Every praise he received was overshadowed by the brilliance of another.The resentment had accumulated for years.Now that Jiang Su had fallen, Wang Lei naturally seized every opportunity to repay that humiliation.He slowly folded his arms and

Chapter 712 Felix remained kneeling beside Cui Qi after Wang Lei and his followers disappeared into the depths of the forest.The laughter of the group still echoed faintly in the distance.The humiliation.The beating.The helplessness.Everything was real.Pain radiated from his broken ribs.Blood stained his robes.His fists trembled slightly from the overwhelming desire to retaliate.For a brief moment, Felix felt an urge unlike anything he had experienced since entering the inheritance trials.He wanted revenge.Not later.Not tomorrow.Now.Immediately.His mind naturally began calculating possibilities. If he were Felix Author, Emperor of Victorium, none of this would have happened. Wang Lei would not even have the courage to stand before him.A mere Ninth Stage Qi Condensation cultivator was weaker than an ant in Felix's eyes.The difference between them was greater than the difference between heaven and earth.The thought intensified his anger.Then suddenly, a strange

Chapter 714 After hearing Long Wu's shocking revelation, Jiang Su no longer had any interest in arguing with the chief guard. The situation was far more serious than exchanging insults. If what Long Wu said was true, then the entire Jiang Family was facing a crisis. Without saying another word, Jiang Su turned around and hurried into the City Lord's Mansion. Cui Qi followed closely behind him. The two moved swiftly through the sprawling estate. Servants bowed as they passed. Guards respectfully stepped aside. The atmosphere inside the mansion appeared normal on the surface, but now that Jiang Su paid closer attention, he noticed subtle changes. Many servants looked worried. Some whispered among themselves. Others immediately lowered their heads when they saw him approaching. The entire mansion seemed burdened by an invisible pressure. It was as if a dark cloud hung over everyone's heads. The deeper they went into the estate, the more obvious the tension became. Final

Chapter 716 Jiang Su stood silently before the Immortal Flower for a long time.The silver petals gently swayed in the breeze while faint streams of spiritual energy continuously gathered around it. Although the flower still had not fully matured, its aura had become noticeably stronger than before.The sight brought a complicated expression to Jiang Su's face. For years, this flower had been both his greatest hope and his greatest curse.Because of it, he had fallen from heaven into hell.Because of it, he had endured countless humiliations.Yet because of it, he still believed that one day he would rise again.Slowly, Jiang Su sat cross-legged before the flower.He closed his eyes and began circulating the little spiritual energy he could absorb from the surrounding heaven and earth.Thin strands of Qi flowed into his body.The process was painfully slow. Compared to his former cultivation speed, it was like comparing a river to a dripping faucet.Still, he patiently gather

Chapter 718 As Mu Ruxue stood gracefully in the center of the banquet hall, countless eyes remained fixed upon her.The atmosphere that had been lively moments ago suddenly became quiet.Everyone could sense that something important was about to happen.Whispers continued spreading among the younger generation."Miss Mu and Young Master Jiang are finally meeting.""I wonder if she'll still acknowledge the engagement.""How could she?""Jiang Su is already finished.""Someone like Di Tian is more suitable.""Exactly.""The number one genius of Fang City should be with the number one beauty."These discussions gradually grew louder.Jiang Su naturally heard every word.His expression remained calm, but inwardly he felt a bitter sensation.The mention of Di Tian caused certain memories to surface.Di Tian.The nephew of Vice City Lord Di Long.A youth with thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, and an imposing heroic aura.Back when Jiang Su was still a genius, Di Tian had constantly challenged
