Song Que and Zi Shin stepped out of the tavern, which had been reduced to ruins.It looked as though a violent storm had swept through it, though only the interior had suffered severe damage. Fortunately, the protective formation surrounding the building had prevented the young cultivators from being injured.They soon joined Zi Hao, who had thoroughly beaten the five troublemakers responsible for the chaos.The three of them looked at the fallen men with satisfaction.The anger and resentment they had been holding back for so long had finally been released, leaving them feeling greatly relieved.Song Que's gaze wandered around before finally finding the old tavern owner, who was hiding nearby in fear.Walking over with gentle steps, Song Que said,"Please forgive us, Elder. We never intended to damage your tavern."His voice was filled with sincerity and regret.The old man nodded, still trembling."I-It's not a problem," he replied, forcing a smile.Without saying much more, Song Qu

The sharp sword slash was so swift and ferocious that Rayan's body was split cleanly into two halves. Blood gushed out endlessly, flooding the ground beneath him. Everyone who witnessed the scene fell silent, unable to believe what had just happened. "Rayan!" Royan screamed hysterically, his fists clenched tightly as he struggled to suppress the rage and grief tearing through his chest. He could not accept the cruel reality that his own brother had been killed in such a brutal and painful manner. Tears of anger and sorrow streamed from Royan's reddened eyes. His heart felt as though it had been ripped apart as he looked at Rayan's lifeless body lying on the ground, severed into two pieces. He could not understand why Rayan had not attempted to dodge the attack. There had been an opportunity to escape. Yet that question no longer mattered. Rayan was gone. Song Que, the executioner of this tragic scene, stared coldly at the remaining twin. There was no regret or

As they arrived near the palace of the Wu Empire, Song Que and Sanjung walked calmly as though they had no destination. They circled the palace streets while secretly constructing the mechanism of a Teleportation Formation. Not a single person noticed their presence, allowing everything to proceed according to plan.Sanjung felt that something was strange, as if everything was going too smoothly. He then asked Song Que, "Why does it seem like nobody can see what we're doing along the way? I saw quite a lot of people still walking around even though the air is getting colder and the moon is beginning to fade."Song Que smiled faintly before explaining while pointing at their seemingly fading bodies. "I've covered our bodies with an Illusion Formation. That's why they can't see us. We exist in a state between presence and absence," he answered confidently, causing Sanjung to nod in relief.As they continued forward, hiding within the palace's shadows, both of them felt they were getting

The soul lamp positioned at the pinnacle of power within the Wu Empire suddenly went out without warning.A symbol of life itself had vanished.The guardian responsible for watching over the soul lamps was stunned by the sight. Without hesitation, he rushed to report the incident to the high-ranking officials of the imperial palace.The atmosphere inside the palace immediately became tense and filled with anxiety.The officials engaged in long and heated debates, desperately searching for a solution to this unexpected crisis. They realized that Emperor Wu's remaining descendants were all daughters, while the only surviving prince was the crippled prince, who could never ascend the throne.The faces of the officials turned pale.Their voices trembled, and their eyes revealed growing fear. Some clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, unable to hide their frustration over the seemingly unavoidable situation.Amid the increasingly heated arguments, the crippled prince sat quietly in

Three figures streaked across the sky, slicing through the clouds at incredible speed. Powerful gusts of wind trailed behind them, startling the birds flying nearby.Song Que glanced back and saw that Sanjung and Han Reong had fallen slightly behind. His expression was tense, revealing just how urgent the situation had become."I'll move ahead at full speed. Catch up as quickly as you can," Song Que said firmly."Understood, Brother Song!" Sanjung replied, guilt lingering in his heart. He supported Han Reong's frail body, feeling the burden on his shoulders grow heavier because of her weakness.Song Que unleashed more of his power and shot forward at a speed far greater than before. His figure became increasingly blurred, as though he had merged with the wind itself. He knew he had to reach Botian Sect as soon as possible to confront the threat approaching them.Zi Shin had sent word that three mysterious individuals had arrived and disrupted the peace of the sect. Most likely, they w
