Even though the three factions’ armies were already locked in battle, Luo Xiang, Hua Wei, and Feng Lao Zi remained in place, silently watching the bloody conflict unfold with countless questions racing through their minds.“They are far too confident about winning this war… There must be something much greater behind all this,” murmured Feng Lao Zi, glancing at Hua Wei, who seemed to share the same thought.“Something is wrong… We should speak with Luo Xiang at once.” Hua Wei vanished from her spot, followed closely by Feng Lao Zi as they rushed to Luo Xiang’s side.Upon arrival—“Y-your arm…” Feng Lao Zi gasped in shock when he saw Luo Xiang’s maimed body.“Child, tell us—who dared to oppress you?” Hua Wei asked quickly.A faint smile curved on Luo Xiang’s lips. Everyone around him grew tense, waiting for his answer.“This all happened after I destroyed the She Clan. Just after the battle ended, Luo Kang Yan suddenly appeared and challenged me to a duel.”Luo Xiang explained what had

Before striking, the Demon Prince’s clone raised his right hand, golden-black flames erupting and igniting the blade he held. Luo Xiang narrowed his eyes—the flames were none other than the Heaven-Devouring Fire.“H-how is this possible…” Luo Xiang muttered in shock, his expression turning serious.“Even if it’s only one element… it’s more than enough to wound you!”Swuuuuuuush! Tiiiiiiiiiiiing!The Demon Prince’s clone dashed forward, slashing his burning sword at Luo Xiang. Not willing to let the strike land, Luo Xiang countered instantly. Their blades collided, the piercing screech of clashing steel echoing across the skies above the Luo Clan.They exchanged sword techniques in rapid succession. Yet soon, a flaw appeared in the clone’s movements—subtle, but unmistakable. Luo Xiang seized the opportunity, weaving feints to widen the gap until it was impossible to ignore.Slaaaaash!Changing the direction of his strike at the last moment, Luo Xiang targeted the opening. The blow seve

“Die, boy!”“Just a Soul Dao cultivator wanting me dead? That’s hardly worthy!” Luo Xiang retorted, extending his hand forward.Boooooooooom!At once, the spirit shadow behind Luo Xiang’s body moved, blocking Gu Yan’s attack.“H-he can block the technique of a Fourth-Star Soul Dao practitioner so easily? Am I seeing things?”“If this is all you can do, then you’d be better off dead!”As the energy fluctuations spread across the hall, the spirit behind Luo Xiang moved again—this time swinging its sword at Gu Yan.Slaaaaaaaash!“Arghhhhh!”“W-what! That figure behind him can move on its own!”“I-it even has the power to—”Swuuuuuush!After severing Gu Yan’s left arm, Luo Xiang suddenly appeared before him, seizing the spatial ring that had fallen.“Now get out of here!” Luo Xiang commanded, startling Gu Yan, who was still writhing in pain.“Y-you… Just wait until Patriarch Gu avenges this humiliation!” Gu Yan cursed, storming out of the hall.“So young, yet possessing strength equal to

“Hand over the girl to me. If not, we will kill you…” one man said coldly.A faint smile curved at the corner of Luo Xiang’s lips. “Actually, I dislike being threatened the most… But the truth is, I have no relation to this girl. So, I will hand her over to you.”“Now you know your place, brat,” one man sneered in delight.“Wait!”Before he could hand the girl over, the voice of a middle-aged man made Luo Xiang pause.“Tchhh! That old man is still alive!” Fen Zi turned toward the source of the voice.“Old fool… Just hand over your daughter. Isn’t it simple? You don’t need to waste your life protecting her!” Qin Li added mockingly.Hu Liang wiped the blood from his lips. The young man holding his daughter looked familiar. Hu Liang quickly clasped his fists in respect.“Young master… Please take my daughter somewhere safe. Once she awakens, the Hu Clan will surely grant you a great reward.”“Crippled brat… If you obey him, we will hunt you down. Even your entire family. Do you know who

“Since senior already knows, if you wish not to live in the same mistake again, then beyond vengeance, you must awaken Luo Jian. Though you share a twin body, your souls are bound as one. Each time Luo Jian dies, have you not felt certain oddities yourself?”“Yes… After I killed the Demon Prince, I felt as though I was living in solitude. Loneliness, even with Shi Shi by my side. I thought this emptiness, this solitude, was due to Yan Su’s death.”“My task is complete. Surely, senior already knows what must be done, don’t you?”Luo Xiang nodded. “Black and white can never be merged. Evil and righteousness coexist. Even if evil is slain, balance will be destroyed. And in turn, that very evil will re-emerge from someone who walks upon the path of righteousness.”The Grand Master was astonished at such a metaphorical answer from one so revered among the Divine Realm.“Senior, I shall take my leave… Should you encounter difficulties or have further questions, you may seek me at the Sacred
