Jhi Chen then flew toward the location of the people he had to save. Along the way, his gaze swept in all directions, piercing through the black mist that shrouded the Death Black Swamp. Every step he took felt light, as if this entire place was submissive to his existence. He shook his head slightly. A place that for others was a nightmare and a source of destruction, turned out to be a field of fortune for him. Every danger he faced brought a new blessing, as if every path in this swamp had been arranged for him from the very beginning. In his heart, Jhi Chen swore, “I will not disappoint my Master’s sacrifice. Even though he did not guide me directly, every opportunity and strength I gained was the result of preparations he had planted.” Moments later, Jhi Chen arrived at the location where the disciples of the Holy Gate were imprisoned. In front of him stood a layered confinement formation, surrounded by thick black mist and destructive energy. A single careless step inside cou

After completing all transactions with Manager Touba Mei, Jhi Chen left the meeting room and walked toward the room where the eight disciples of the Holy Gate were resting. The attendants who saw him immediately bowed in respect, while his calm aura made everyone reluctant to utter even a single sound. When the door opened, the eight disciples instantly stood up. Their faces still showed exhaustion, but their eyes were filled with deep respect and gratitude. Jhi Chen looked at each of them one by one. “I will be leaving for a while. You all stay here in this pavilion. Once I’m done, we will return to the Sun Clan together.” The strongest man among them, who had previously clashed with Jhi Chen, stepped forward. His face looked sincere and slightly embarrassed. “Junior brother may leave in peace to handle his matters. We will wait here. We have been saved by you. If we cannot repay this kindness, we are truly lower than dogs and pigs.” He bowed deeply, then continued, “But until no

Jhi Chen, who had been silent, finally spoke. His voice was calm yet carried firmness that made both generations before him fall silent. “Grandfather is right; we shouldn’t care about others’ opinions. But honor cannot be sacrificed. It’s fine if we act mysteriously, but we cannot allow others to look down on our family. Grandfather can protect his own honor wherever he goes because he has the strength to silence others. But the rest of the clan cannot do the same, because they lack the power to silence others’ mouths.” Jhi Chen looked at both of them with a clear gaze. “When they go out, they have to walk like mice, afraid of others’ ridicule. Uncle is not wrong. Uncle is thinking about the entire clan. So Uncle must indeed be able to solve this problem.” Mu Sangdaoxiao slightly turned his body, a mocking smile appearing on his face. “Father, you’ve grown old. Even a young man his age can think that far. Aren’t you ashamed?” he said, using Jhi Chen’s words as an opportunity to teas

Mu Sangdaoxiao looked at his daughter. “Mu Meilie, your cousin has returned. He will participate in the ceremony, and his abilities are extraordinary.” Mu Meilie stood tall before them. She was a woman known for her pride and strictness toward everyone, including her own family. At only forty years old, she had already become an early-stage grand master alchemist, capable of refining mid-grade noble pills with a high success rate. Furthermore, her cultivation was remarkable, having reached the third rank of the Great Realm. Among the younger generation of the Sacred Sun Star Galaxy, her name was recognized as one of the most outstanding. The moment her gaze fell upon Jhi Chen, her eyes changed. She did not look at him with doubt, but with curiosity and the enthusiasm of an alchemist eager to test someone deemed her equal. After hearing her father’s explanation that the young man before her was the son of Aunt Xiao’er, Mu Meilie smiled faintly. Without giving anyone time to react, h

The elder wasted no time speaking. As soon as Jhi Chen’s words ended, his body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The air around him trembled from the force of his attack. Everyone could feel the heavy pressure he released. But in Jhi Chen’s eyes, that attack seemed slow and meaningless. For the Gu Clan elder, this was not merely a duel, but a matter of pride. He knew he couldn’t win through words, so he chose to rely on power to silence the youth before him. Unfortunately, that choice became the start of his downfall. With a ninth-rank Great Exalted cultivation, his power was terrifying to most people. Yet before Jhi Chen, it meant nothing. There was no comparison at all. It was as if an ant tried to shake a mountain. Jhi Chen watched his opponent rush forward and shook his head slightly. “I didn’t expect a clan like this to rule a galaxy. No wonder my galaxy is often looked down upon by others.” When the elder was only a hundred meters away, Jhi Chen raised his hand
