Long Hu Tong died a gruesome death, reduced to a corpse of nothing but bones wrapped in skin, lying stiff and motionless inside his cultivation chamber.The Clan Elders immediately realized something was wrong when Long Hu Tong’s life crystal shattered. They rushed straight to the Patriarch’s residence.“Father!” Long Xiao Lin was the first to arrive. He immediately went to the cultivation room, pushed the door open, and discovered his father’s corpse.Long Xiao Lin, who had always been calm and indifferent to everything, his expression eternally flat and emotionless, changed completely. His eyes widened, his mouth fell open, and his expression froze entirely. For a brief moment, it felt as if his heart had stopped beating.“F… Father…” Long Xiao Lin walked forward slowly, approaching his father’s body with hesitation.He knelt beside the cold, rigid corpse and touched the dried skin. He could not sense even the slightest trace of life or energy from it—not even a shred of Dao. Long H

Unlike Luo Ning’er, who was still hesitant about whether to try recruiting Ye Yuan and Vyserielle, Xiao Zhiyi herself had no doubts at all—she wanted the two of them to join the Yin Luo Palace.“But they’ve caused a lot of chaos. The other factions, especially those who suffered the most, definitely won’t accept it,” Luo Ning’er voiced her concerns.“Haha, Ning’er, you’ve lived for thousands of years, yet you’re still thinking about things like this? Well, you do want to be a fair, firm, and trustworthy leader, but don’t forget the most fundamental rule of this universe.”Luo Ning’er fell silent. Of course, she knew what fundamental rule Xiao Zhiyi was referring to.“Everything is about strength—strength above all else. Do you think they’ll listen to and obey your orders just because you’re kind, firm, and trustworthy? The most important reason they follow you is because you’re strong, because you’re feared and respected. Without strength, you’d be kicked aside immediately.”“Of cours

Lord of Nine Hells and the Lord of Great Abyss were holding a meeting in a secret location, discussing their next attack on the Yin Luo Immortal Realm.They were attacking the Yin Luo Immortal Realm due to an order from God of Beast, one of the Supreme Immortals of the current era.However, in truth, they also had another objective.“That bastard only gives us orders without offering anything in return. Heh, but fortunately, the Yin Luo Immortal Realm has something quite interesting,” Mo Gui said with a faint smile.“Heavenly Dao Dust, huh.” Shen Yin could not suppress his own grin, making his already grotesque form appear even more terrifying.Heavenly Dao Dust was the fundamental resource that formed Heavenly Dao Gems, as well as many other resources imbued with the Heavenly Dao. It was exceedingly abundant.The Heavenly Dao Dust was located at the core of the Yin Luo Immortal Realm. Taking it would be no different from destroying the Yin Luo Immortal Realm itself.The reason the tw

Chaos within the Yin Luo Immortal Realm continued to intensify. All factions across every Heavenly Region formed alliances to protect one another from attacks by those death creatures. Everyone remained on high alert—no one was exempt from danger, as the death creatures could appear from anywhere at any time.Meanwhile, Ye Yuan and Vyserielle never once interfered in the battles against the death creatures.They traveled to various places using different identities. Ye Yuan would not use his identities as Long Xuan or Feng Ling unless he was visiting the Heavenly Jade Pill Sect or the High Realm Sect, and he had not gone to either of them since Vyserielle broke through to the mid-stage Heaven Immortal realm.They truly moved from place to place, gathering information. Whenever death creatures launched an attack, they would immediately leave the area, or observe from afar. They would never help—even if the cultivators were slaughtered by the death creatures.If not for the fact that Ye

“I thought my disguise was flawless. How did you know it was me?” Ye Yuan let out a soft sigh.“I was only guessing and following my instincts.”Long Xiao Lin didn’t actually know for certain that Feng Ling was Ye Yuan. If she hadn’t previously confirmed that Ye Yuan was Long Xuan—through his battle with Vyserielle, where she discovered that Vyserielle was Long Lian, Long Xuan’s wife—she would never have guessed that Feng Ling was another identity of Ye Yuan.Ye Yuan’s disguise was truly perfect. Long Xiao Lin couldn’t find a single flaw. However, through several subtle traces, she was able to make an educated guess.In any case, even if Feng Ling had turned out not to be Ye Yuan, and she had killed him earlier, it wouldn’t have caused Long Xiao Lin any trouble. Even if Feng Ling were the Grandmaster of the High Realm Sect, she would not have hesitated to swing her sword.“In that case, you’re quite lucky,” Ye Yuan said. He had done his disguise well; it was just that some things were
