General Shobi returned and reported several matters that he indeed had to report to Prince Hengyun. He expressed his gratitude before leaving, and if assistance was needed, he would help as much as he could.Meanwhile, Chen Nian was still staying within the Chen Clan’s residence. Ma Lang escorted Lao Din back to the inn, where Lao Ann was waiting.Ma Cun looked at Chen Nian. He was deeply amazed throughout the battle as he watched from afar how Chen Nian fought against Chen Sugan. His experience and unique techniques, including teleportation, allowed him to surprise his enemies. A sense of envy arose within him, wishing he could possess such abilities. But he knew that it was impossible for him.However, he felt no jealousy. Because following someone like this could make him grow much stronger. In the past, he didn’t even dare to dream of reaching the Cave Realm. But after meeting Chen Nian for the first time, he had already been given a chance at a better life along with power that c

“I don’t care about you. But if you force your way in, I’ll have to turn you and all of them into tempeh stir-fry first,” the guard said firmly.“So arrogant!” Chen Cheng sneered. “I’d like to see who gave you such courage.” He stepped forward to barge in, but the guard once again blocked him with his spear. He even dared to attack despite his inferior strength.Annoyed at being treated like this in his own home, Chen Cheng immediately retaliated. The guard was only at the early Fusion Realm—easily overpowered. With a single punch, Chen Cheng struck him, causing his face to bruise and swell. Then he kicked him, sending his body crashing into the stone wall.The other guards didn’t have time to react. As they were about to move, Chen Cheng said, “If you make things difficult, I will kill! That was just an example—I think it’s enough for you to understand.” After all, the blood of the Chen Clan still flowed within those guards.They all stepped aside.Chen Cheng then invited his master

Chen Nian continued smiling as he saw how cautious Zu Yu was toward the situation. This was actually a good thing. He looked at him and asked, “What is your name, old man? Before becoming my subordinate, shouldn’t you at least state your name?” Zu Yu felt mocked by a young man, but he still replied, “Before death, it is indeed good to know the name of your killer. I am Zu Yu. Remember that name in your next reincarnation.” Even though Zu Yu spoke harshly, Chen Nian did not mind it. He simply stood there with his hands behind his back, waiting. Feeling deeply underestimated, Zu Yu spoke to his two companions, “Don’t interfere. Let me handle him alone.” The other two nodded. They knew that a cultivator’s pride must not be tarnished. However, as friends, they would step in if the situation turned unfavorable. Zu Yu attacked. He swung the heavy sword in his hand forward. The sword itself was only half its length, clearly broken. He was confused as to why his opponent did not move at

Under the blazing sun, Chen Cheng felt the veins in his head throbbing as if they were about to burst when he saw how drastically the situation had changed. This was not the course of events he wanted. This was not how he had imagined it. “Master!” A trace of sorrow was etched in his eyes as he saw Cao Ge lose consciousness. Who else could he rely on now? He had lost hope. This was truly a real misfortune. As Chen Cheng lamented in grief, two people appeared from a distance. They moved swiftly and arrived beside him, who was still grimacing in sorrow. “Brother!” shouted the person now standing beside him while looking at Chen Cheng. He was the second son, also Chen Cheng’s younger brother. At such a young age, he had already reached the mid-stage Cave Realm. Valuable resources had also been given to him by one of the best sects in the Baiyu Empire. Seeing Chen Cheng’s miserable condition, Chen Sima felt bitter. Although he was not very close to this brother, since he had been in a

Under the sunlight that had begun to dim as clouds helped prevent the earth from overheating, a tense battle unfolded between two young men with completely different auras. A sense of grandeur could be seen and felt from Chen Nian’s aura. In contrast, Chen Sima’s aura was darker and more terrifying. At this moment, Chen Sima felt delighted because he believed he had gained the opportunity to kill Chen Nian with the deception he had executed. To him, Chen Nian’s life was already at the tip of his short sword. However, he celebrated too early. Chen Nian suddenly vanished from his sight, and in the next instant, he reappeared. A surge of energy struck Chen Sima’s waist. Bam! Chen Sima was sent flying, thrown quite far from his original position as blood spilled out. Fortunately, his body was protected by a spiritual armor capable of withstanding the shockwave of Chen Nian’s sword. His short sword had also been raised in time to block part of the incoming attack. Now Chen Sima grim
