Wang Xiang glanced at Wang Sani, then patted his shoulder gently. "We're not acting recklessly, San. His strength has already exceeded our expectations. Even though I'm in the same realm as him, I can't guarantee victory in the duel if we attack now, it will only bring us destruction.""Then, what is the plan, Patriarch?" Wang Sani asked, although his tone was still filled with impatience.Wang Xiang smiled faintly, a smile full of strategy. "We need help from stronger alliesWang clan is no small force, and we have ties with the Purple Heaven Sect, one of the strongest affiliated sects. I will send a message to their Elders for help."The other clan members nodded, although some of them looked doubtful. Wang Xiang continued, his voice firm. "You have to understand. In this battle, we are not only facing Zhi Hao, but also the Zhi Clan which is starting to rise with the Purple Heaven Sect on our side. We can not only destroy Zhi Hao, but also humiliate the Zhi Clan in front of everyone.

Zhi Hao looked at his father with eyes flashing with emotion. On the one hand, he understood Zhi Sao's concerns. But on the other hand, his mind was churning with unwillingness to leave his family in danger.“Father,” Zhi Hao said in a trembling voice. "How could I leave you guys at this time? This is our home. The Zhi Clan is my responsibility too. If I leave, what will happen to all of you?"Zhi Sao patted Zhi Hao's shoulder, his expression firm but loving. "Kid, a leader must know when to defend and when to attack. You are our last hope. If we all fight and lose, the Zhi Clan will be completely extinct. But if you live, then the Zhi Clan still has a future."Zhi Hao tightly grasped the Lightning Star Core in his hand, feeling the extraordinary energy flowing within it. "I can't leave you, Father. Let me fight. I'm strong enough. With this Core, I can fight them all."Zhi Sao shook his head slowly, his tone hardening. “Your strength is indeed great, Hao’er, but our enemies this time

With the Lightning Star Core fused in his body, Zhi Hao had already surpassed his previous limits. His realm leaped up to the Seventh Star, lightning aura coiled like a raging dragon, and Qianlong, his divine weapon, shone with a deadly light."Is this... the power of a god?" Nong Bai muttered softly, feeling himself like an ant before the immense power.Zhi Hao appeared in front of Nong Bai in the blink of an eye, his smile cold. "You called me weak earlier, didn't you? Let's prove it."One swift swing, the sound of lightning ripples echoed in the air.Swoosh! Slash!Nong Bai's body stopped for a moment before being split in half, from head to waist. Blood sprayed onto the ground, while his aura shield shattered as if it was nothing but fragile glass.Nong Bai's corpse fell with a silent thud, watched by the members of the Zhi Clan in the distance. They were all stunned, watching the feared enemy leader die in an instant by Zhi Hao's hands.Zhi Hao stood there, Qianlong returned to t

Zhi Hao was unfazed by the threat. He raised his sword high. "Then let them come. I will face anyone who dares to threaten my family."With one lightning slash, Zhi Hao ended Elder Liang's life. His body fell slowly to the ground, and the purple aura surrounding him vanished like smoke blown away by the wind.In the distance, Wang Xiang who watched the event from behind a tree gritted his teeth. "That boy… he's not an ordinary human. This is worse than I imagined."Wang Xiang was shocked when Zhi Sao suddenly appeared in front of him with incredible speed. His steps stopped, and the faint, threatening smile on Zhi Sao's face made his body tremble.“Zhi Sao… I just—” Wang Xiang tried to say, but his voice was muffled by the pressure radiating from the Zhi Clan Patriarch's body.“Having come all this way, why rush to leave?” Zhi Sao said casually, but his eyes flashed sharply. "Don't you want to enjoy a little dishThe Zhi clan always welcomes guests with open arms."Wang Xiang gritted h

The Zhi Clan enjoyed a temporary moment of peace after their great victory. Zhi Hao spends his days strengthening the Clan's defenses, restoring its energy, and strategizing for potential future threats. He knew that the Purple Heaven Sect would not remain silent after losing one of their Elders. This peace is just the beginning of the storm to come.In the midst of the Zhi Clan's frenzied preparations, a spy from the Purple Heaven Sect, Rong Wei, had infiltrated Linggau city. wearing ordinary merchant robes, he mingles with the townspeople, hearing rumors and finding out about Zhi Hao.In a small tavern, Rong Wei sat in a corner, listening to the conversation of two young men who seemed to be disciples from one of the small clans."You heard the story about Zhi Haothey said he killed Elder Liang of the Purple Heaven Sect!" said one of the youths excitedly."Not only that," his friend answered. "He also defeated Patriarch Lin Feng and made the Lin Clan and Wang Clan hand over their tr
