The atmosphere at the five-star hotel dining table grew even more oppressive, like the air before a thunderstorm breaks.

Irma was momentarily stunned by Erina’s blunt and protective words. But before she could respond, a transparent blue light—visible only to Fang Zhe—suddenly flickered at the edge of his vision.

    The escalating quarrel between Su Yin and Fang Zhe came to a sudden halt. Su Yin, whose fingers were just reaching into her spiritual stone storage pouch, froze in her tracks, while Fang Zhe slowly lowered the hands he had been using to beg for a loan.Both turned their heads simultaneously, staring at the silver-robed youth with narrow eyes in utter bewilderment—as if they had just witnessed a madman suddenly leap into the middle of the street.Even Ling Yin, usually calm and composed, raised an eyebrow, gazing at the shimmering Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stone atop the dingy table with a perplexed expression.The old merchant swallowed hard, his eyes bulging at the Heaven-Grade Stone—a sum capable of purchasing an entire treasure shop in this courtyard. "T-this... a pure Heaven-Grade Stone?! Y-young Master... you are truly throwing this away just for this piece of rusted scrap iron?!"The youth clad in silver-embroidered silk smiled with even greater arrogance. He snapped his jade fan s

    "One Thousand Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stones?!"Hearing the absurd figure come out of the old merchant's mouth, Su Yin’s eyes instantly widened. Without wasting a single second, her delicate fingers darted like lightning—ZRAAP!"A-AWWW! Su Yin! It hurts, hey! Let go, let go!" Fang Zhe grimaced, twisting his head frantically to follow the 180-degree turn of Su Yin’s relentless grip on his ear."It hurts, you say?! Where on earth is your brain installed, huh?!" Su Yin raged, her face flushed red with rising anger. Her sharp eyes glared back and forth between the wincing Fang Zhe and the slyly smirking old merchant."I’ve told you over and over that this place is full of cunning scammers! And you... you actually walk up to the dingiest stall to grab a piece of rusted scrap metal that isn't even fit to chop firewood!" Su Yin twisted her grip even tighter."One Thousand Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stones could buy two pure Earth-Grade weapons back at the Sect! Yet you want to hand them over to t

    Before Su Yin and Ling Yin could reply, Fang Zhe had already turned around and strolled casually down the airship's stairs. Hands clasped comfortably behind his head, his saunter was so relaxed that one would think the Bao Clan's outer courtyard—currently filled with arrogant geniuses—was nothing more than his own backyard playground."Tsk, that guy truly can't stay still for a single second!" Su Yin grumbled, stomping her foot in annoyance. Nevertheless, she and Ling Yin quickened their pace to follow closely behind him, ensuring he wouldn't get into trouble.The moment he merged with the sea of cultivators along the main avenue paved with white jade tiles, Fang Zhe's eyes lit up. This was his very first time stepping into the bustling center of the Immortal Realm, having previously spent his days only in the relatively isolated environment of the Virgin Valley Sect."Insane... absolutely insane," Fang Zhe muttered, his gaze sweeping over the vendor stalls neatly lined up along the c

    The standoff on the airship deck ended in an awkward silence. Under the Sect Master’s stern instruction, the Elder of the Hall of Punishment immediately activated the ship’s propulsion formation to maximum capacity. The protective barrier vibrated violently, cleaving through the sea of clouds at lightning speed and leaving that perilous zone far behind before the Main Leader of the Black-Winged Bandit could even realize the slaughter that had taken place.One Month Later....A month passed without any significant hindrances. Throughout the journey, no other bandits or enemies dared approach the airship of the Virgin Valley Sect. The tense atmosphere aboard the vessel gradually softened, though the minor bickerings between Fang Zhe and Su Yin continued to serve as entertaining diversions for Ling Yin and the elders.Until one bright morning, the thick blanket of clouds ahead slowly parted, revealing a breathtaking vista that made everyone catch their breath."We have arrived..." murmur

    The icy aura emanating from the Immortal Snow Soul Ice Sword suddenly peaked to an extreme level. The air surrounding the Sect Master of the Virgin Valley froze like a crystal mirror, right before she swung the Emperor-Grade sword in a remarkably graceful and effortless sweeping motion.SRRRRRSHHH—!It was no ordinary slash, but thousands of icy sword shadows shaped like giant lotus petals blooming in the middle of the sea of clouds. Golden and purple lights intertwined, cleaving through the sky at a speed surpassing the limits of the naked eye."NOOOOO—!"The Bandit Leader and the remnants of his men didn't even have time to flee or beg for mercy. The moment the wave of lotus-ice slashes crossed their bodies, their screams were cut short instantly.In a matter of seconds, the bodies of more than a dozen formidable bandits were chopped into fine ice crystals before completely shattering into glowing dust, swept away by the night wind. Not a single drop of blood remained; not a single

    The sea of clouds surrounding the airship suddenly split apart by brute force. Bone-chilling air rushed past as the shadow of a colossal ice palm—the size of a mountain—descended from the highest heavens, pressing down with crushing force!"Madness! Formation! Hold the line together!" shouted the Bandit Leader, his eyes bulging in sheer panic. His confidence shattered into a million pieces in an instant.More than a decade of Five-Star Sky Fighter bandits channeled every drop of their blood-red Qi. Thick threads of crimson energy swirled rapidly, forging a massive blood-skull shield in the air to block the assault from above.Yet, before the absolute power of a King Fighter at her peak, their efforts were nothing more than a spiderweb trying to stop a falling boulder!BOOOMMM—!A violent impact shook the sky. The blood-skull shield held for less than a second before fractures of ice-blue spread across its surface.KRAAAGGH—!With a deafening explosion, the Blood Slaughter Formation th
