Hong Yi nodded, now fully understanding his master’s explanation. This was evident from the close-combat training he had never done before—except with his teacher.A few days later, Bai had grown quite close to Hong Yi after some casual conversations. During a rest period while they were gathering Qi energy, Luo Xiang sensed several auras approaching."Can you feel it?" Bai asked, unfazed by the group that was about to stop right above them in the sky."Yeah... but I don't care either," Luo Xiang replied, glancing at Hong Yi who was trying to suppress the poisonous aura from her body."I expected this… You’re actually quite a genius to grasp what’s usually difficult for ordinary cultivators.”He looked at her proudly—until suddenly, his gaze was drawn upward after hearing a sharp screech from a silver-winged eagle above.“Fools who seek death never seem to run out...” Luo Xiang muttered.Swuuuush! Swuuuush!Five young men and a middle-aged man descended from the back of the silver-win

Realizing who the informant was, Luo Xiang let out a soft chuckle. In his mind, the Star God had no reason to do something so foolish.Still, he felt grateful—because the information the Star God gave him marked the beginning of his journey back to godhood."Let’s go back..." Bai suddenly lost interest in fighting over the Phoenix Flame amidst the thousands of cultivators struggling for it.Hearing this, Luo Xiang nodded, understanding Bai’s concerns."Yier, will you follow your master’s request?" Luo Xiang asked seriously."What is it, Master?""Even though the Star Steps can strengthen your physical training, in the current situation, fighting over the Phoenix Flame will surely result in a terrible bloodbath... So, I ask that you return to the Luo Clan with Senior Bai.""No. I want to stay and protect you..."Luo Xiang gently shook his head while brushing Hong Yi’s soft hair."Trust your master."Bai, who had lost interest, suddenly changed his mind. This surprised Luo Xiang."Since

Swuuush! Baaams! Baaams! Baaams!Hundreds of energy blasts exploded across the sky. Waves of spiritual power collided violently, shaking the entire Ghost Desert. In just a matter of seconds, casualties from all sides began to fall.Swuuush! Swuuush!Wei Yun appeared alongside Luo Kang Yan, blocking Luo Xiang's path."Hand over your Heavenly Flame," Wei Yun said coldly, his sharp eyes locked onto Luo Xiang.“Ours,” he emphasized. “That flame must belong to the Luo Clan…”Luo Xiang’s brow furrowed as his gaze shifted to Luo Kang Yan, whose features bore a striking resemblance to his own.“You’re from the Sword Domain?” Luo Xiang asked.“So you’ve realized it,” Luo Kang Yan sneered. “Give me your Heavenly Flame, and your life will be spared.”“Only if you’re capable of taking it.”Swuuush!In a zigzag movement, Luo Xiang disappeared without striking, leaving Luo Kang Yan and Wei Yun behind. But suddenly, a powerful palm-shaped Qi blast struck Luo Xiang directly.Baaams! Baaams!Balancing

A week passed quickly. Throughout the journey, Luo Xiang worked to suppress the growing worry in his heart.“Can’t you go any faster?” Luo Xiang asked gently, stroking the feathers of the phoenix beneath him.Kyaaat! Kyaaat!The phoenix let out a sharp cry and nodded in response, accelerating swiftly. Two days later—Swuuush!Luo Xiang finally arrived at the Luo Clan grounds. His expression turned cold and flat. A fierce sword aura surged violently around his body.Bwoooong!“Just as I thought…”“Whoever dares to touch my family—will die!”Dhuuuuaar!An even stronger sword aura erupted, slicing through the air like countless invisible blades. With just this wave of killing intent, the nearby buildings crumbled to dust. Then, Luo Xiang’s eyes fell upon a blood-written message scrawled across a wall before him.“If you seek your family, come to the Demon Dragon Sect. I’m waiting... Don’t take too long.”The message was crystal clear. It wasn’t just a threat—it was a direct challenge to

Baaams!Baaams!In just a matter of seconds, Luo Xiang's cultivation aura soared to the three-star Dao Master level. The rapid surge in cultivation made the four elders exchange quick glances."It seems he's using a secret technique...""Be careful... He once defeated someone five levels above his own realm!"Wei Tian's brow twitched as he sensed Luo Xiang's aura continuing to rise."This boy..."Elsewhere, the old man beside Yun Rou was stunned by the young man's sudden leap in cultivation."It seems... we won’t need to help him after all!""Master, do you really think he can still win against them?"The old man stroked his long beard and shrugged."Who knows...""I've come this far... Even if I have to pay a steep price, this ends now," Luo Xiang said coldly, as a pair of golden-black wings unfurled from his back.Swoooosh!"I don’t believe you can defeat us!"Swoooosh!One of the elders dashed forward and launched a punch. In response, Luo Xiang struck with a fist wrapped in the Sk
