CHAPTER 48:THE SECT MASTER’S DECISION
The war between Azure Cloud Sect and Crimson Serpent Sect reached a critical point. Losses were starting to pile up on both sides. The atmosphere started becoming heavy. The Sect Master sat at the head of the long table as the elders argued endlessly over the strategies they were to use in battle. Elder Zhao pushed his agenda forward. He claimed that Kai’s growing influence was dangerous. Other elders countered it. They insisted that without Kai’s victories, the sect would have already fallen.The Sect Master just watched as they continued debating. When the noise reached its peak, he raised his hand, and the hall became silent. His voice was calm. “That's enough! Kai proved himself to everyone. From this day forward, he will take temporary command over three outer divisions and two inner battalions. He will act under my direct authority.”The decision struck the room like a thunderclap. Zhao’s face went pale before turning dark with rage. “Sect Master, you cannot give such power to a
Chapter 47:THE TURNING TIDE
After Kai’s victory over the Crimson Serpent heir, the morale of Azure Cloud Sect increased. His name was was on the lips of everyone in the sect and beyond.

Within a few days, disciples all over the sect began to call them the Ascendant Battalion. They were no longer a small group led by a rising talent. Kai felt proud of himself. He gathered his guild leaders in their headquarters that was near Ironwood Valley. They discussed the current situation, the movement of enemy forces, and how to fortify their defenses against it. The atmosphere became tense. Kai stood before them. “We have come this far. The Crimson Serpent Sect will retaliate. We have to be ready.”Bef
Chapter46: clash of heirs
The declaration of war had already set the entire cultivation world on edge. Clashes on the borders continued, but now both armies prepared for something larger. The Crimson Serpent Sect, unwilling to let Azure Cloud Sect gain confidence, sent their young sect heir to the battlefield. His name was Jiang Ren, known across the region as a monstrous genius with mastery over poison flames. He had defeated every opponent in his generation, and his arrival carried the intent to destroy Kai’s growing reputation.The challenge was delivered formally. Jiang Ren demanded a duel in front of both sects. If Azure Cloud refused, it would be seen as weakness. If they accepted, Kai was the obvious target.The Sect Master called Kai to the council. “This is a trap, but refusing will only weaken us further. Are you prepared?”Kai stood calmly. “I will face him.”The System responded instantly.[System Alert: Major Duel Event Triggered.][Quest: Defeat Jiang Ren, Crimson Serpent Heir.][Reward: +500 War
Chapter 45:zhao’s gambit

His guild members were recovering from their injuries, some with new scars and others with broken confidence.

Chapter 44:the siege of the iron wood valley

Whoever controlled it had would have access to trade routes and spiritual ore veins that were vital for cultivation resources. Losing it would weaken Azure Cloud greatly.Kai and the Ascendant Path arrived with a vanguard unit of sect disciples. Smoke already rose from the valley. Screams and the clash of weapons echoed between the cliffs. Crimson Serpent disciples swarmed the defensive walls, pushing the Azure Cloud defenders back with there sheer numbers and coordinated assaults.The System immediately updated Kai’s mission.[System Alert: Battlefield Detected.][New Sub-Quest: Defend Ironwood Valley.
