In Wuyu City, a large city of the Ming Dynasty, its ruler was the Wang kingdom. However, the current king did not bear the Wang surname but instead bore the surname Xiao. The current king was Xiao Jian, the son-in-law of the previous Wang king. Xiao Jian's wife was the eldest daughter of the previous Wang king. Now, Xiao Jian, along with his wife and son, were surrounded by generals of the Wang kingdom itself, assisted by influential figures from other forces.Xiao Jian stood with his wife, Wangmei, while behind them was their seven-year-old son, Xiao Tian.“Xiao Jian, now I will take your life and also the lives of your wife and son. I will take the throne that rightfully belongs to me!”The person speaking was Wang Chong, the younger brother of Wangmei. But now, the brother she loved most was rebelling, daring even to kill everyone loyal to Xiao Jian.“Brother Wang Chong, why are you doing this? If you want the throne, I won’t hesitate to give it all to you. After all, I do not desi

The General took Wangmei’s body back to the Kingdom. Wang Chong welcomed their arrival. After hearing the whole story, Wang Chong didn’t care about Xiao Tian, as he also believed that wild beasts indeed ate Xiao Tian.“Prepare a funeral for my sister! As for Xiao Jian’s body, throw it into the soul-tracker dog kennel.”Wang Chong was genuinely ruthless, letting his brother-in-law’s body become food for his pet dogs.After Wangmei’s body was buried and Xiao Jian’s body was thrown into the dog kennel, they didn’t know that both bodies had transformed into a tree branch.****In a place far away, not in the Ming Dynasty nor Wuyu City, a middle-aged man stood with a wonderful woman on a mountain peak that reached beyond the clouds.The man and woman bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Jian and Wangmei.The woman gazed at the vast sea of clouds spreading out before her. Even though she looked at the sea of clouds, her vision could penetrate everything in every direction. She sighed softly

“Respect to the patriarch.” The gatekeepers immediately bowed in respect upon seeing Fa Wa. Fa Wa merely smiled and led Ziyan Rouxi and Xiao Tian inside. Xiao Tian arrived at Fa Wa’s residence. Fa Wa looked at Xiao Tian. “Tian, you will stay here now. However, although I have adopted you as my grandson, you will not be exempt from duties. Your task is to clean the entire courtyard and the training area. You must also take care of all the books in this house; do not let a single book gather dust! When you turn ten, I will register you as a disciple of this sect. Even though I am the patriarch, I must follow the sect’s rules. Do you understand?” Xiao Tian clasped his hands together. “Grandfather, I understand.” **** Every day, Xiao Tian diligently performed his tasks. Every morning, Xiao Tian diligently swept the courtyard, removing the scattered dry leaves. The morning sunlight reflected off the sweat on his innocent face. After that, he moved on to his next task, dusting off the

“Daniel, have you been hiding your strength?” Daniel smiled slightly. “If you can hide yours, why can’t I?” “Daniel, don’t rejoice yet. I haven’t lost to you!” Lu Xuan tried to stand up, but Daniel didn’t give him the chance. He moved very quickly and stood before Lu Xuan, placing his sword at Lu Xuan’s neck. “You’ve lost!” Daniel smiled, seeing Lu Xuan’s face that could not accept this reality. “How could I lose to you? Please explain to me how you can be stronger than me? I’m not just a talented disciple, but I also come from a strong background. While you, you have no background, so how can you be stronger than me?” Daniel didn’t answer. He just smiled as usual. However, when Liu Qingyun was about to announce the winner, an old man’s voice suddenly rang out. “Fa Wa, why didn’t you tell me there was such excitement happening at your place?” Fa Wa immediately stood up, frowning. He saw an old man coming with two middle-aged men and a young man about Lu Xuan’s age. Fa Wa reco

After blocking Xing Han’s sword slash, Xiao Tian swiftly twisted his wrist with agility. The sword, previously used to block Xing Han’s attack, became a deadly strike aimed at Xing Han’s abdomen. Bang— “Ugh...” Xing Han was thrown several meters away. After stabilizing himself, he suddenly spat out blood from his mouth. Xing Han glared at Xiao Tian viciously while wiping his blood. “Kid, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such strength. Now, you won’t have another chance to defend yourself!” Xing Han released his true aura. Now, everyone could feel Xing Han's power. “Damn, this kid Xing Han has a massive amount of inner energy, he's nearly a fourth-class warrior. What do we do? Tian is surely going to be defeated by him!” “Don’t panic, look at Tian’s face. Even though that guy revealed his power, Tian is still very calm. It means Tian has a way to deal with him.” Many people doubted Xiao Tian, while some remained optimistic about the boy. “Kid, now it’s time to e
