Kaien and Chung Yi remained standing before the invisible barrier while carefully examining the mysterious structure blocking their path.The fragment inside Kaien continued reacting strongly, making it obvious that the missing half existed somewhere beyond the unseen wall.Kaien slowly raised his hand before allowing silver-white Qi to gather around his fingers.Without hesitation, he unleashed a concentrated strike against the barrier.The attack exploded upon contact.A powerful shockwave spread outward. Yet the barrier remained completely unaffected.Kaien narrowed his eyes immediately. He refused to stop there.Several more techniques followed one after another while waves of energy crashed against the invisible wall.The surrounding ground trembled violently beneath the force of every attack.Even the nearby trees swayed under the pressure.Yet nothing changed. The barrier remained completely intact.Not even the smallest crack appeared.Kaien eventually lowered his hand while s

The tension inside the Sky Envoy Sect continued rising as the four enforcers prepared to attack from every direction.Their combined pressure spread throughout the entire hall while countless disciples watched nervously from a safe distance.Kaien remained perfectly still while keeping his hand raised. The atmosphere became increasingly dangerous with every passing second.Then a powerful voice suddenly echoed throughout the palace.“That is enough.”A tremendous wave of pressure immediately filled the entire hall.Everyone instinctively froze where they stood. Even the four enforcers immediately stepped backward.Kaien slowly turned his head toward the source of the voice.An elderly man stood near the entrance while carrying himself with extraordinary composure.His robes moved gently around him while his powerful aura spread throughout the entire palace. The man calmly walked forward without showing any signs of concern.Chung Yi immediately narrowed his eyes.“This person is a B R

Kaien slowly walked toward the table before finally speaking.“I have decided to accept your offer, if it’s still on the table.”Li San smiled immediately after hearing his answer.“I had a feeling you would eventually come back after thinking everything through properly.”Kaien pulled out a chair and sat down across from her.“You seem strangely confident about things despite barely knowing me.”Li San shrugged lightly before answering.“You do not strike me as someone who makes reckless decisions.”“Perhaps you are giving me too much credit.”Li San shook her head immediately then stood up from her seat. “I honestly do not think that is the case. We should probably head home before it gets any later.”Kaien nodded once before following her out of the eatery.The streets of Cloudrest City remained lively despite the approaching evening.Warm lights illuminated countless buildings while cultivators moved between shops and marketplaces. Several bridges connected different sections of

The next morning, Kaien noticed that Li San was acting far more relaxed around him than she had been during their first meeting. It seemed she no longer treated him like someone she had been assigned to monitor but instead treated him more like an actual guest staying inside her home. Even though he appreciated the change in attitude, Kaien still felt uncomfortable relying on someone else’s kindness. He decided to help around the house so that he would not continue feeling like a burden to the people allowing him to stay there. Without saying much, Kaien began helping with simple tasks like, carrying supplies, cleaning sections of the courtyard, and repairing small areas that needed attention. Li San walked outside and stopped when she saw him sweeping part of the stone pathway. She stared at him for a moment before letting out a loud laugh. “I never expected to see someone who shattered a sect leader’s sword without effort, spending his morning doing ordinary household

The members of the Black Dragon Brotherhood immediately became infuriated after realizing that Kaien had absolutely no intention of stepping aside and allowing them to continue threatening Old Man Ho.Their expressions darkened while several of them began releasing spiritual pressure throughout the area in an attempt to intimidate him.The tallest member stepped forward while glaring directly at Kaien with visible irritation.“You are making a very serious mistake by interfering with matters that have nothing to do with you.”Kaien remained standing calmly in front of Old Man Ho while showing no visible reaction whatsoever.Another member folded his arms while speaking with a cold expression.“This old man belongs to a family carrying a debt that must be repaid immediately, outsiders have absolutely no right to involve themselves in this situation.”Kaien still refused to respond to their words.His expression remained calm while his attention stayed focused elsewhere.Then another me
