The morning sun struggled to pierce through the heavy gray smog hanging over the capital city, casting long, grim shadows across the grand courtyard of the Lin Clan estate. Inside the main audience hall, the atmosphere was thick with dread, completely stripped of its usual arrogant grandeur.High Priest Mo, the corrupt and terrifying leader of the capital's sacred elite, strode down the center of the hall, his dark violet robes sweeping against the polished marble floor. His eyes carried the weight of a man who viewed entire provinces as common stepping stones for his own ascension."You have failed me, Lin Tian," High Priest Mo said, his voice dropping to a dangerous, low frequency that made the nearby stone pillars vibrate with heavy spiritual pressure. "I did not grant your pathetic family political immunity just to watch you lose our primary sacrifice to a crippled dog.""High Priest, please understand!" Lin Tian stammered, his face completely pale as he dropped to his knees, his

Crack!High Priest Mo slammed his golden scepter into the Lin Clan pavilion floor, the heavy marble splitting into deep, smoking chasms. The shockwave blew the wooden doors right off their hinges, sending a terrifying wave of dark violet divinity magic rolling across the courtyard."One million spiritual stones! Your entire treasury spent on empty air!" Mo roared, his face turning completely black with unbridled fury as he stared at the bleeding figure on the floor. "You let a random merchant spin you around like a common animal!"Lin Tian lay in a pathetic heap, his ruined jaw roughly wrapped in bloody bandages, his body shivering from the leftover traces of the contract explosion. He couldn't even speak properly, only letting out small, wet whimpering sounds as he clutched his empty hands."High Priest, please," Lin Muyao whispered, stepping forward with her head bowed low, though her exceptionally beautiful features remained completely frozen in a cold, rigid mask. "The old merchan

The massive white-marble courtyard became an arena of absolute chaos and blinding terror within a single second.The five thousand allied cultivators, who had been marching with proud expressions just a moment before, stumbled backward in total panic, their weapons clattering onto the stone.The invisible weight of Lin Feng’s Peak Sky-Realm presence pinned them to the wet cobblestones like common, crawling insects. Their breastplates groaned under the vertical pressure, and many felt their teeth rattle as the cold air froze inside their lungs."What is this power? It's impossible! He was a cripple!" a high-ranking commander from the Northern Province screamed, his face pressed flat into the mud as he struggled to lift his shield."His meridians were completely rotten! I saw the medical records myself!" another elder wailed right beside him, his fingers clawing at the broken stones in sheer desperation. "This is not human! This is the aura of a supreme emperor!"High Priest Mo stood at

The big silver ship flew fast through the soft white clouds. Bright golden marks on the ship shone in the morning sun. The sky was quiet, and the big boat moved nicely over the giant mountains below.Little Nina ran around on the big wooden floor of the boat. She laughed and tried to catch the clouds with her small hands. She was happy, and her small face looked very healthy now."Daddy, look at me!" Nina yelled with a big smile on her face. "I can touch the big clouds! They feel like very soft wool!"Lin Feng stood by the big wheel of the boat. His large hands held the iron wheel very gently. He looked at his happy daughter, and his face became soft and kind."Do not run too fast near the edge, my sweet girl," Lin Feng said. His voice was soft and full of love for his child. "The wind up here can blow very hard.""I will be good, Daddy!" Nina laughed as she skipped over to a wooden bench.Lanying sat on the bench in her pretty silver dress. She smiled nicely and caught Nina's small h

Lin Feng held the shiny plastic card. He took it from the bad lady. He opened the big door.The door went down, down, down. It went into a dark basement under the market. The bad prince had his big money house down here."We must be very quiet, Lin Feng," Lanying whispered softly. Her eyes looked at the dark walls."The big lasers are moving," Lin Feng said. His voice was completely flat."I will step here," Lanying said. She put her small feet on the floor.They walked past all the big magic guns. The guns did not see them because of the shiny card. They slipped right inside the big stone halls.Lanying looked at Lin Feng's face in the dark. His face was cold like a big block of ice. He did not smile, and he did not look happy.Her heart felt very sad for him. She knew why he was so cold and scary to bad people. He wanted to make the whole world safe for little Nina."You look so sad, Lin Feng," Lanying said gently. She touched his big black cloak."I am not sad," Lin Feng said. He ke
