Two hours of uninterrupted travel passed before Luo Xiang and his group halted, their path blocked by a swarm of Yuan Lu bees—each one the size of a full-grown man.Recognizing the creatures, Qing Bei quickly urged the group to turn back. But before they could retreat, hundreds more Yuan Lu bees surged from every direction, encircling them completely.“Damn it, we’re too late…”Luo Xiang only nodded. With his sharp hearing, he picked up on the strange tune of a flute drifting from the dense trees ahead.“Wait… it seems these bees are being controlled by someone,” Luo Xiang muttered, spreading the last five percent of his Divine Soul Awareness.“There…”Swuuuuush!The swarm launched forward, stingers poised to strike. Without hesitation, Luo Xiang unleashed his divine lightning.Traaaack! Traaaack! Boooom!Lightning danced and erupted, blowing apart the bees surrounding him. His power then surged toward the figure hiding behind the trees—but suddenly, a fist of pure Qi appeared from th

“Ahh, is that so? Very well, but are you certain you can help me cure the Devil’s Palm Poison?” Feng Lao Zi asked, seeking confirmation.“Perhaps… once I’ve recovered my strength,” Luo Xiang replied politely.Feng Lao Zi nodded, then fixed Luo Xiang with a serious gaze.“Boy, where do you intend to go? You’ve only just returned, yet you rush away from the ruins of your Luo Clan?”Believing Feng Lao Zi to be a man of goodwill, Luo Xiang explained his purpose in detail. He had already gained some sense of the man’s character.“The Valley of the Maidens… so, you’re seeking resources there,” Feng Lao Zi muttered under his breath.“Do you know what it is you’re searching for?” he pressed.Luo Xiang shook his head. “I don’t know. But if it proves useful to me, then I will take it.”“Unfortunately, your hopes will never come to pass.”“What do you mean, senior?”“Yes! What you seek is the severed hand of an immensely powerful being. Even within a kilometer of it, the Yin aura and demonic mia

Upon arrival, Luo Xiang narrowed his eyes as he spotted Wei Yun and a black-veiled youth working to shatter the natural formation seal before the cave that was the source of the Yin energy.“Who is that youth standing before Wei Yun? Senior, can you discern his identity?” Luo Xiang asked, spreading out his Divine Soul Awareness.But to his shock, the youth casually flicked his hand—instantly dispersing Luo Xiang’s Divine Soul Awareness as if it were nothing.The Dragon God Ancestor attempted to probe the youth’s identity as well, yet the same result occurred, leaving him utterly shaken.“M-my Divine Soul Awareness—fifty percent of its strength has no effect on him! Xiang… I fear he is connected to the Demon Prince.”Luo Xiang nodded slightly. Though he knew the mysterious veiled youth had noticed his presence, the latter seemed utterly unconcerned, not even treating Luo Xiang as a threat.Meanwhile, Feng Lao Zi felt the Yin energy surge even more violently. Panic set in as his Soul Se

Hua Wei remained silent as he continued to practice the cultivation technique given by Luo Xiang. Hours passed before dark clouds suddenly gathered above, condensing at a single point in the sky.Witnessing the abrupt natural phenomenon, disciples of the Valley of the Maidens—along with the elders—hurried toward its source.“Interesting… In just a short time, he has already reached the threshold of a Half-Deity breakthrough,” Luo Xiang murmured.Swuuuuush!Stepping back, Luo Xiang shifted his gaze to Feng Lao Zi, who was now drenched in cold sweat.“Damn it, help me! I don’t want to be roasted alive by Heavenly Lightning!” Feng Lao Zi cried, realizing Hua Wei was about to ascend to the Half-Deity Realm.Boooom! A muffled detonation echoed as Hua Wei’s body absorbed the surge of spiritual power within.When he opened his eyes, Hua Wei first looked toward Luo Xiang, then lifted his head to the heavens, where tribulation lightning gathered menacingly above.“This… this is the moment I’ve

While waiting for a reply, Luo Xiang wasted no time and swiftly departed from Shen City.“South of Ceng Han City, Young Master. Do you wish to come here?”“Yes. Wait for me!”Swuuuuush!With the golden-black Qi wings of his past life, Luo Xiang soared toward Ceng Han. Along the way, the Dragon God Ancestor sent him a reminder once he arrived near the Luo Clan.“Yes… remember, Senior, your task is only to seal the Luo Clan so that the She Patriarch cannot act freely. Once your task is complete, I’ll personally finish them off,” Luo Xiang replied through telepathy.Moments later, another urgent message from the five assassins struck his mind.“Young Master… we are surrounded by ten Dao Soul Stage Elders, Star Three. It seems we cannot—” The message abruptly ended.Luo Xiang’s expression turned cold. Without hesitation, he accelerated to his peak speed toward Ceng Han. After ten relentless hours of flight, he arrived at a desolate city devoid of life.“If Ceng Han is this empty… then cle
