In her residence, Lu Rao thought intensely, connecting each event and recalling what Gong Hanbu had said. No matter how stubborn she was about wanting to punish Gong Hanbu, she did not want to die in vain. What was the point of winning if she herself had to die? What benefit would there be?She stared at the bottle in her hand, then suddenly shot out through the window.A single figure followed her.…Song Que walked through Green City accompanied by Gong Hye. The now-grown woman occasionally smiled as she looked at Song Que. Although Song Que appeared cold, for some reason he spoke more than usual. Normally, when faced with a man, she would choose to avoid him—keeping as much distance as possible. But now, she instead wanted to stay close, as if being near Song Que was an addictive drug to her.“Let’s go eat. That place over there is my favorite restaurant to visit with my friends,” Gong Hye said, pointing across the street.Without refusing, Song Que followed. He was new to Green Ci

“Forget it, dear. Let’s just go. Arguing with an idiot will only make us idiots too!”The sarcasm was clearly directed at Wang Zhou.Wang Zhou forced himself to stand up. He glared sharply at the young man and woman before him, seemingly no longer caring about the influence of the Gong Clan. He was confident that his first and second elder brothers would back him up against what he considered a mere country bumpkin.Of course, the “bumpkin” he referred to was Song Que.“Beat him! Break his arms and legs!” Wang Zhou raised his hand and shouted.Immediately, six men stepped forward, surrounding Song Que and attacking without hesitation. Their fists carried destructive force, and a powerful fluctuation could be seen as all six struck at him simultaneously.Although Gong Hye had seen Song Que’s medical skills and how he treated the sick and even the insane, she had no idea how capable he was in combat. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes as she watched the six fists converge on him.“Hm

Under the bright sunlight, two clans of different ranks now faced each other. Yet the obvious difference did not make the Mo Clan afraid to disturb the Gong Clan’s residence. They had brought so many Fighter-level experts in this assault and were fully confident that the Gong Clan would be wiped out today, with the sun and all the witnesses serving as proof.Gong Juan’s arrival did not create much impact on Mo Sang. Mo Sang was certain he could defeat Gong Juan, who was only at the Initial Stage of the Fighter Realm, while he himself had already reached the Mid Stage. With this one-stage difference in strength, victory felt firmly in his grasp. That was the main reason he dared to launch the attack.Ever since Gong Hanbu had fallen into madness, everyone had wanted to seize control of the Gong Clan’s authority in Green City and turn them into slaves. They might have once been a first-tier clan, but what was history worth now? History would not help if one lacked the strength to defend

One question was answered with one reply, and so it continued until Lu Rao finally understood the true sequence of events. After piecing together every fragment, all the threads led to Wang Bao alone. At this moment, her anger toward Wang Bao burned intensely. At first, she had believed he had saved her, but now she realized it had all been a carefully prepared plan—kindness used as a disguise to exploit her.“That bastard must die!” Lu Rao growled. She was furious that she had been forced toward such a painful death. She was not afraid of dying, but if she had a choice, she would rather live. Yet Wang Bao had pushed her toward a cruel end, forcing her to sacrifice her cultivation level. Even if she managed to kill her opponent, she would still suffer. Now that everything was clear, she decided to drink the potion Wang Bao had given her—but not to kill Gong Hanbu. Instead, she would turn around and attack Wang Bao himself.Gong Hanbu was pleased that Lu Rao could accept his detailed e

“Young man, you are truly annoying me!” An invisible pressure was released by Wang Bao. Several people present at the scene were immediately slammed to the ground. They could not withstand the heavy burden pressing down on their backs. “You’ve made me very angry!” Wang Bao roared like a man who had lost his family. A loud explosion sounded behind him as flames shot high into the air, spreading and burning everything around.Song Que quickly retreated a considerable distance, carrying Gong Hye, who had already fainted. He then placed her in a relatively safe spot to keep her away from the battle that was now inevitable.Song Que also released his own power, which neutralized Wang Bao’s pressure. Finally, everyone could breathe properly again, though they still could not immediately stand. However, it was clear that the pressure had truly disappeared. They did not know what had happened or why the pressure was gone—but Wang Bao knew. The shock on his face showed his disbelief that the p
