“Father… He—” Zhou Ruyu wanted to introduce Song Que, but for some reason, her father’s gaze was unusually deep as he looked at him. It was somewhat strange, but she thought there was no reason for her father to feel hostility.“He saved me in the Demon Forest, Father! If it weren’t for him, I would only be a name by now.”In the end, Zhou Ruyu explained why Song Que was with her and what had happened to the guards who accompanied her into the Demon Forest, so that her father would not harbor any hostility—though she herself did not fully understand it.“Child, go inside! I will speak with him alone.”Zhou Yang did not look at his daughter when he spoke. His gaze seemed to lock onto Song Que.“No, Father. Judging from your expression, it doesn’t seem like you’ll speak kindly to him. Don’t treat my savior like that. If you keep being angry, you’ll grow old quickly,” Zhou Ruyu said with a smile, though her eyes revealed deep emotion.Zhou Yang frowned upon hearing that. When had his dau

In a beautiful and spacious room, a young man sat. The clothes he wore were quite striking, bright crimson red in color. Even though it was already night, he now stared at the woman before him with a gloomy expression—completely unlike the brightness of his attire. “Why did you fail?” Mo Sang said, his gaze like that of a predator ready to devour its prey. The woman was helpless; she collapsed to the ground in fear. She had never imagined that failing to subdue a single man would cause her to fall into the abyss called death. At this moment, her body was drenched in sweat, and she could only blame herself for her lack of skill. If only she had known that this mission could not fail, she would have forced it at all costs. Of course, she still did not know why the young master of the Mo Clan wanted that man dead. He had seemed completely harmless, to the point that she even thought of seeking shelter with him for the night. But how could she have the time? If given the chance, she d

Five guards felt that something was strange about Bing Hao, but they could not pinpoint what exactly was wrong. They continued carrying that soulless body as they sped forward. After arriving and landing at the gate of the Bing Clan residence, they lowered Bing Hao’s body while one of them said, “Young Master! We’ve arrived.” The wind blew rather strongly, causing their hair to flutter. Silence fell, as if the world itself had stopped turning. Bing Hao still lowered his head and gave no response—clearly because he had already become a corpse. One of the guards stretched out his hand, convincing himself that Bing Hao was just joking. His hand moved toward the nose to check for breathing, since he could no longer hear any breath or heartbeat. “This is bad… the young master is dead.” After confirming it, one of them spoke, causing an uproar. “Quick, bring him inside!” someone else urged. … … Bang! A loud crash echoed through the family hall. Several chairs were shatter

Bing Luyang fell from the sky after being struck by the lightning-infused punch unleashed by Song Que. He was unable to dodge, and even the protective aura that was usually always active due to his Saint-level cultivation did not function at all.Boom!Although the blow did not kill him, a deep sense of humiliation immediately took over. How could it not? The person he fought was merely a young man—one who even appeared very weak. It was the uniqueness of the technique used that caused Bing Luyang to lose his momentum. He could feel it, and his heart cried out, ‘If this young man’s cultivation were equal to mine, I would definitely die.’ He could not hide his admiration. If his son, Bing Hao, had possessed even half the strength of this young man, perhaps the Bing Clan would have long stood on equal footing with the Shi Clan.After all, he himself had already reached the Middle Stage of the Saint realm, yet he was struck down so easily.“Patriarch!”Everyone from the Bing Clan shouted

“They have their own territory, which has remained undisturbed all this time even though the Shi Empire is very powerful. That’s because they also have strong figures backing them. Why are you asking about this?”Zhou Yang was quite curious, so he asked again, “Do you intend to kill someone by involving them?”“I want to destroy the Mo Clan by borrowing their hands. Can you tell me the names of the important figures in the Mo Clan? I can’t sit still. Surely they will also do something to me after I killed their Patriarch.”Zhou Yang was shocked, but he quickly understood Song Que’s situation. Although he had only just met him, he already had a good impression. “They are located southwest of this capital. They have their own city called Ho City.” Then Zhou Yang stood up, took paper and a brush. He was no longer in pain as before—the miraculous pill from Song Que had not only healed him but also restored his depleted strength rapidly.He began writing several names, then handed the pape
