Seeing the fearful expression on one of the women targeted by Brother Long, a sense of excitement and satisfaction filled his heart. He laughed happily, becoming even more convinced that these two women had neither strength nor backing. According to his logic, if they had power or support, they wouldn’t show such fear. With his experience dealing with women from elite clans, his confidence grew even more. Brother Long declared again with full certainty, “I promise I won’t hurt you. So, come along. I’ll escort you.”“D-don’t come closer. You just want to capture us, right? Try to be honest!” Lan Lihua trembled in fear, playing her role perfectly. However, deep down, she actually felt like laughing at how easily Brother Long and his group were deceived by her acting.Brother Long waved his hand arrogantly. Two men followed his command, stepping forward toward Lan Lihua, who appeared frightened. Seeing them reaching out with wicked smiles made Lan Lihua shudder. But in an instant, her fe

Prince Hengyun moved swiftly, gathering strength by persuading the officials he had targeted one by one. He dug up and collected various pieces of information about the people he intended to approach, then used that information to pressure them. Nearly half of the high-ranking palace officials were now on his side.

"I cannot let my guard down, because these people could become enemies in disguise if given the chance.""Brother, everything is going according to plan!" Baiyu Shengri delivered the good news.Hengyun smiled, "I didn’t expect it to be this easy. If it weren’t for Mr. Chen’s idea to find their weaknesses and use them as leverage, I might still be struggling to gain their support."Shengri nodded, "Mr. Chen’s idea

In the very center of the Cultivation World, there exist two extremely important soul markers: the Soul Lamp and the Soul Jade. The Soul Lamp is shaped like a beautifully carved glass lantern with a flickering glow inside, reflecting the potential and strength of its owner. Meanwhile, the Soul Jade is a gleaming oval gemstone, with varying color patterns that represent the unique characteristics of each individual.Every clan and sect possesses these two soul markers, which are kept in the most sacred and protected place.

The people who had sworn loyalty to Chen Nian were now watching the enemy’s futile attempt to destroy the Dragon Trap Layered Formation. They laughed at the enemy’s foolishness, because every time the Formation was destroyed, it would reform as if it had never been damaged. Now, the enemy would not be able to escape after recklessly entering the territory of their Clan.The members of the East Wind Sect were furious beyond measure, but they tried to ignore the ridicule thrown at them. With full determination, they launched one final assault to break through the last layer of the formation.Chen Nian, along with Long Xia Mei, arrived at the place where their supporters had gathered. Dong Li immediately welcomed them. “Young Master, you came as well? Actually, it wasn’t necessary. With us here alongside Zu Yu, these enemies are nothing but insignificant dust!” Dong Li said confidently.A smile spread across Chen Nian’s face as he looked at Dong Li and Zu Yu in turn. “I trust in both of
