“Uncle Kang, let’s go. We have no business with them. Keep your dignity—don’t lower yourself before a dog that likes to lick boots!”Chen Nian’s harsh words were clearly aimed at Chen Dunrui.“We should fill our stomachs instead. Come, Young Master. I’ll take you to a restaurant famous for its delicious cuisine!” Kang Kung smoothly played the role of guide, since he had already claimed that Chen Nian came from another empire.The two tacitly agreed to maintain this act. It would be impossible for others to quickly verify Chen Nian’s origins. In truth, even Kang Kung himself did not know which empire Chen Nian came from. Given the urgency of the situation, he had fabricated the story that Chen Nian hailed from the Jing Empire and possessed high status—hence addressing him as “Young Master.”Watching them leave, Chen Dunrui felt the veins on his forehead bulge, anger throbbing painfully within him. He had come to corner Kang Kung, yet he was completely ignored. It was utterly humiliatin

“Hahaha… Your Highness is still too young to sneer. We’re finished here anyway. Please, enjoy the room,” Kang Kung said to Jie Qian. Then he glanced at Chen Nian and added, “Young Master, it seems our gathering has been disturbed again. There are indeed many clever people in this Empire.”He shot a sideways look at Jie Qian—the word clever clearly laced with sarcasm, implying someone skilled only in twisting words.Chen Nian merely nodded and followed Kang Kung toward the exit.“Stop right there!” Jie Qian shouted without turning his head. There was no way he would let this end so easily. “Apologize to me—kneel!” he roared again.His shout drew more people closer. After all, who wouldn’t be curious about a free spectacle? They watched cautiously from a distance. If a fight broke out, they did not want to be caught in the aftermath. From afar, at least, they could still flee.The two men continued to ignore him and walked toward the exit. The crowd that had gathered instinctively parte

Elder Tu naturally gave his opponent no time to think. He lunged forward with an open palm, a sinister smile spreading across his face.The woman reacted swiftly. Though inferior in cultivation, she still possessed remarkable speed. She shifted her body to the corner of the room and unleashed her strongest punch at the wall.Boom!A deafening explosion rang out as a massive hole tore through the structure. She dashed forward with all her strength—but a powerful strike from behind slammed into her back, propelling her violently forward.She crashed to the ground miserably.Many witnesses saw what happened. Yet none dared intervene or even voice protest. Such matters were the responsibility of government authorities—but if even they remained silent, who would dare interfere?The madam rushed toward the source of the explosion after receiving word. She never imagined that something built over many years would be destroyed in a single fight—especially by a woman she had only recently recr

Whoosh!Something shadowed Tu Pae’s retreat.He did not realize that his life was about to end the moment a divine weapon locked onto him. He was still inwardly mocking Chen Nian’s “foolishness” for letting him go. When he had reached a distance of five hundred meters—An arrow shot forth at terrifying speed.Tu Pae glanced back. He saw Chen Nian holding a bow. The arrow was already upon him.Boom!Before he could evade, Tu Pae exploded into a spray of flesh and blood that scattered in all directions.Chen Nian calmly stored away the Wind God Bow and returned to where Kang Kung remained.“How is she, Uncle?” Chen Nian asked from a distance. Kang Kung was treating the woman’s injuries, and Chen Nian chose not to approach—her torn clothing revealed smooth, pale skin, clearly marking her as a young woman.“Her back was severely injured. If not for the medicinal powder you gave me, it would have rotted from the vicious poison embedded within. Even with protective armor, she couldn’t fully

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!The three figures shot forward through the air at a certain altitude. They were incredibly fast and did not slow down in the slightest. After all, Kang Zhangsun’s life could be in danger the moment he reached the mainland.…On the calm river, a boat drifted slowly. There were three people aboard.The boat was not powered by any engine, but by Qi energy directed into the water to propel it forward. They could have moved much faster, but they chose to conserve their energy so it would not be depleted too quickly.Among the three was Kang Zhangsun, standing in the middle. He felt immense joy at being able to breathe fresh air once again.His gaze reflected happiness. Even though he was now crippled and without cultivation, he held many secrets. Because of that, once he was free, many people would target him the moment he stepped outside.“We’ve arrived. Get off!” said the person at the bow of the boat.Kang Zhangsun made a light jump and landed on the ground.The
