Yun Feng and Xiao Chen were alone in the tent, Xiao Chen's arm wrapped around her waist while she was pulled close to his chest."Sure you can handle him alone, sweetheart?" Xiao Chen asked, breaking the silence between them."You doubting my strength?" Yun Feng replied, a frown etched on her face, and Xiao Chen smiled, nodding negatively."I would never. I just think if he was strong enough to take out Mo Juan all on his own, he has gotten far stronger than we thought and probably has some tricks up his sleeves," Xiao Chen continued."And I have you," Yun Feng said immediately, and Xiao Chen's smile widened."And I still have this from Heaven's Sky Court from that old man," Yun Feng added, bringing out a golden ball.Xiao Chen's eyes glinted with recognition, taking the golden ball from Yun Feng's hands and assessing it. "I did not think this would end up in the Holy Land Sect's hands."Yun Feng's eyes crinkled in curiosity, watching him. "You know the golden ball?"Xiao Chen grinned

Xiao Chen remained in the midst not moving a muscle as he awaited Yun Feng's signal, a scowl on his face. He couldn't help but notice that is was taking far too long for her to release the signal. With the blood control formation he gave her, she should have long dealt with Lin Feng but there was no response from her. "Lin Feng!" Xiao Chen clenched his fist in fury, at the mere thought of him. One thing he had not expected was the boy from over two decades ago to have gotten this strong.Then he was weak and it was the only reason they had left him weak. If only they could see the future and see what a nuisance he would be, they would have killed him all those years back. Someone walked up to him from behind. He didn't bother turning, recognizing who it was. "You know, you have a lot of guts allowing your woman go against the shadow lord on his own," Lin Lin said, settling down beside him. Xiao Chen's eyes remained fixated o

The battle in the settlement was still raging, but Lin Feng could feel through his connection to the Dark Abyss and could tell the others were holding their ground. But something else was approaching. A presence, cold and deliberate, making its way toward him through the mist.Lin Feng turned slowly, his eyes narrowing as a figure emerged from the grey. The man was tall and lean, his features sharp and his eyes cold. His robes were dark and fitted, the fabric moving like liquid shadow around his frame. He moved with a confidence that bordered on arrogance, his gaze fixed on Lin Feng with predatory intensity."You must be Lin Feng," the man said, his voice smooth and measured. "I have heard a great deal about you."Lin Feng's hand tightened on his blade. "Who are you?"The man smiled, a thin expression that did not reach his eyes. "My name is Di Lan. I am a servant of the Xiao family."Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. "You work for Xiao Chen.""Master Xiao Chen is my young master. I have bee

The moment Xiao Chen breathed his last, his life lantern went out, alerting the Xiao family mansion of his death.The family mansion broke into commotion, the maids and servants muttering amongst themselves, wondering who was brave enough to hurt the young master of the Xiao family. For centuries, no one had dared go against the Xiao family, as they were known for their ruthlessness. Hence the reason why the number one house belonged to no one else but them. They had burned down villages for even the slightest thing and hunted people for treating their servants poorly. Everyone in Jade Lotus City and even beyond knew well to never cross the Xiao family.But for the first time in centuries, someone finally did, and no one knew what to think of it. One thing on the lips of the servants and disciples was: "Who is the mad man that dares stir up trouble with the Xiao family?"Approaching footsteps were suddenly heard throughout the manor. Although light, they sent tremors through the heart

A veil of peace settled over the sect once all the enemies were killed. Some surrendered before they were killed, after seeing that they had no chance of getting out of the situation alive. Those who they followed in the first place were already dead. Surrendering so they could keep their lives sounded like the best option. The Shadow Guards rounded up the prisoners, taking them to the dungeon. Others set out to different parts of the settlement, trying to put things back in place, as everywhere was mostly destroyed after all the fighting.Meanwhile, after killing Xiao Chen, Lin Feng did not leave just yet. He remained sitting in the same spot, staring at Xiao Chen's dead body. Like what had happened the previous time, a dark soul had been drawn from Xiao Chen's body, and his fourth core had stirred awake again, spinning furiously as he absorbed the dark soul. There was a great increase in his strength, and he could feel himself on the verge of breaking through, but he felt nothing.H
