“Damn bastard, idiot, why was his mouth so cruel! Stupid man! Could he not learn how to talk to a woman! Idiot!” That scream shattered the silence of the room. Those words spilled out without pause, like a rush of anger that could no longer be contained. Her tongue almost slipped from cursing too fast, but she did not care. What mattered was that Xiao Tian’s name was torn apart in every insult that left her lips. Shangguan Yueyu kept shouting angrily in her room. Her breath rose and fell unevenly, her chest moving quickly with emotions she could not hold back. Her hands clenched so tightly that her knuckles strained, as if she wanted to throw anything nearby just to vent her frustration. From time to time, her fingers lifted, as if ready to grab a pillow, a small table, or anything she could use as an outlet, but they stopped in mid-air. Her eyes glinted with anger and a hint of embarrassment she refused to acknowledge. Even the way she stood showed how chaotic her mind was, her le

“Father, you did not come to comment on my condition, right?” Shangguan Yueyu asked. Her voice sounded more controlled now. She turned and walked toward the bed, trying to regain her image as the daughter of a city ruler who always remained calm in facing anything. Although her emotions had not fully faded, she made sure each of her movements did not show any remaining irritation. The man sat on Shangguan Yueyu’s bed. His sitting posture was simple yet still showed his position as the city’s leader without needing any emphasis. “Yu’er, Father came to deliver good news,” the lord of Siyung City said. Shangguan Yueyu, who was still upset, immediately composed herself. Her eyes observed her Father’s movements more seriously, trying to push away the remnants of personal emotions that had filled her mind earlier. She realized that her Father never came for trivial matters. “Father, what good news?” Her face relaxed slightly, she approached her Father and sat beside him. The distance

His eyes stared sharply at all the troops, his gaze moving slowly to ensure that every formation was in a state of readiness. No soldier dared to divert their eyes from him. His gaze swept from the front line to the furthest row as if he wanted to make sure not a single soldier had lost focus. Every face was observed, as though he intended to remember each person standing before him today. “The troops of the Quemo Realm have arrived, the formation I placed at the border has already been breached. So now it is time for us to welcome the arrival of the enemy.” Those words made the already tense atmosphere grow heavier. That sentence seemed to signal that the three days of rest had officially ended. All soldiers clenched their fists, realizing that the time for the real battle had finally arrived. No one voiced an opinion or complaint, only determination appeared in the way they responded to his words. Some soldiers drew in a long, subtle breath, as if locking their resolve together

“I will do it,” Xiao Tian answered firmly. His gaze did not shift away from Jiang Zhenlie, but from the soldiers’ perspective, they could feel that his words were not just a formal reply. There was controlled firmness in his voice. His eyes swept over his ninety million troops. His gaze moved from one side to the other, assessing the density of the formations, the distribution of cultivation realms, and the positions of each division. In his mind, he had already begun arranging short-term and long-term formations. “Those in the Supreme God Realm, gather in the North!” The Supreme Gods, the weakest realm among Xiao Tian’s troops, immediately gathered in the North. They moved without sound, following the command without questioning the reason. The formation that had previously been united slowly split apart in an orderly manner, as if his command had just opened a path they instinctively understood. There was no commotion in their movement. They did not understand why Xiao Tian fi

After all the arrangements were completed, Xiao Tian saw the city rulers begin to move. With the power of the city rulers, a single blink was enough to cross tens of millions of miles. Each figure disappeared from sight as if distance no longer mattered to them. Their movements produced neither shockwaves nor disturbances detectable by the soldiers, but the disappearance of hundreds of powerful figures at once made the entire space around the main base feel as if its pressure had shifted. That was why they were assigned to lure away enemies of their level, because even the slightest ripple from their battle would be enough to turn the ninety million soldiers under Xiao Tian’s command into ashes. The soldiers who watched the city rulers depart could only remain silent. They understood that the battlefield for the city rulers was not something they could even imagine. Even for those who had trained themselves to a high level, facing a war on that scale would end only in destruction.
