Song Que tried to push aside the strange feeling by changing the topic. With a concerned expression, he looked at Ling Mei."It seems your cultivation progress has been rather slow, little sister. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Song Que asked, trying to lighten the atmosphere.Hearing the question, Ling Mei smiled faintly."I just haven't cultivated much lately. There have been many things I needed to handle, especially the weapon business. Oh right, Brother, there are several orders for custom Spiritual Weapons. Father hasn't picked them up yet, probably because you've been busy. How about starting to forge Spiritual Weapons again once we return?" she said hopefully, her eyes shining with anticipation.Song Que smiled."Of course, little sister. That won't be a problem, as long as we can return quickly."He then turned toward Gong Hye and Zhou Ruyu."What about you two? Do you have any goals you want to achieve?"Gong Hye gently shook her head and smiled."I don't have any,

The moonlight hanging in the night sky illuminated Ling Mei's breathtakingly beautiful face as she lay unconscious upon an altar surrounded by a complex ritual formation. The black-robed man's gaze grew increasingly intense, overflowing with greed and desire as he stared at Ling Mei's enchanting beauty.Unable to restrain himself any longer, the man hastily removed his robe, revealing the light clothing beneath. Consumed by madness, he strode toward Ling Mei with unwavering determination. Crouching beside her, he gently caressed her smooth and delicate face."Ah, how beautiful you are. What a waste it would be to sacrifice you so easily. Before you meet your end, allow me to grant you a more perfect pleasure," the black-robed man said, his voice thick with lust and malice.With lightning-fast movements, his hand reached toward Ling Mei's tightly fitted clothing, preparing to tear it apart. At that moment, he no longer cared about the sacrificial ritual that was supposed to take place,

Song Que, who was now being hunted by the Wei Clan, was focusing on helping Ling Mei raise her cultivation to a higher level. The cruelty and brutality of the world had opened Ling Mei’s eyes, making her realize that there were people willing to sacrifice lives for the sake of hollow power. Because of that, she became determined to grow stronger so she could protect those around her and prevent further suffering.With the aid of abundant resources, high-grade pills, and the rich spiritual energy within the Spiritual World, Ling Mei soon felt a profound wave of sensation flowing beneath her lower abdomen. Every cultivator believed that this was where their Dantian was located.“Focus your energy and slowly circulate it through all your meridians. Force open any blockages you encounter so the power you gain can accumulate perfectly,” Song Que instructed in a confident voice.Ling Mei neither nodded nor spoke, but she immediately followed Song Que’s guidance without hesitation. Her trust

The tension in the air felt so thick it could suffocate anyone present. Wei Han, his face tense yet composed, finally broke the silence by inviting Jo Han and Ja Mong into his residence.“Let’s talk calmly inside,” Wei Han said, gesturing toward the door.Jo Han and Ja Mong, still carrying their arrogant demeanor and cold gazes, stepped inside without hesitation. Wei Han followed after them, slowly closing the door behind them.Outside the residence, Wei Yan stood together with the household guards who had been helping maintain security. He looked toward his father with countless questions swirling in his mind.“What exactly is going on, Father? Who are they, and why are they looking for someone? Why are they questioning you? Does this have something to do with us?” Wei Yan muttered, trying to untangle the confusion in his thoughts.No one could answer the questions tormenting his mind. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Eventually, he sat down on a long bench

Suddenly, Song Que vanished from before Wei Han's eyes.The old patriarch, whose body could barely move anymore, remained slumped against the wall. His vision blurred as the figure before him dissolved into a fading shadow.Only then did Wei Han realize the truth.The Song Que standing there all along had merely been another clone.His heart trembled.Even at the very end, he had never managed to grasp the true depth of Song Que's abilities.Meanwhile, as the poisonous mist gradually thinned, Wei Yan finally arrived at the entrance of the ruined hall.Without hesitation, he swallowed an antidote pill and activated a protective aura around his body. A faint layer of spiritual energy enveloped him, shielding him from any lingering toxins.His eyes immediately scanned the devastated room.When he finally spotted Wei Han collapsed in a corner, he rushed forward."Father! What happened to you?"Wei Yan carefully lifted his father and supported his back.Yet Wei Han only stared blankly ahea
