Zuo Ci took a deep breath, disappointment evident on his face. "I'm too late," he murmured softly, cleaning his sword of the masked assassins' blood.

"Senior, thank you for your help, but we still need to save Young Master Mi, my Master, and the others." Ba Bel showed his respect and gratitude to Zuo Ci for saving him from a dangerous situation.

Zuo Ci's spirits lifted when he learned there was another martial artist protecting Mi Suo. Zuo Ci still held hope that Li Dian and Mi Suo were safe. Since Ba Bel referred to this martial artist as his master, Zuo Ci reasoned that if Ba Bel alone displayed such terrifying talent at a young age, then the martial artist who was Ba Bel's Master must surely be capable of protecting Mi Suo, perhaps even more formidable than Li Dian.

"Young man, please lead the way," Zuo Ci said with a smile to Ba Bel.

The three then hurried towards the reception hall of Mi Suo's future in-laws' residence. Sure enough, as they entered the main courtyard, the intense

  • Chapter 77: The Golden Lotus Pill

    Ba Bel exited the Imperial Palace without difficulty. When the palace gate guards questioned him, they immediately stopped asking and permitted Ba Bel to continue his journey after he showed them a gold token given by Jiang Ji.Once outside the palace, Ba Bel moved quickly toward the Lotus Flower Pavilion using his Wind Step technique. It didn't take long for him to arrive.When Ba Bel arrived in front of the Lotus Flower Pavilion, Xiao Xiao greeted him with a smile. “Young Master, please come in. Miss Sima is waiting for you inside.”Ba Bel nodded and walked into the Lotus Flower Pavilion. Upon entering, Manager Yu immediately welcomed Ba Bel and escorted him to the special room where he and Sima Lian had first spoken.“Young Master Ba, I have been waiting for your arrival,” Sima Lian said, smiling at Ba Bel.Manager Yu immediately excused himself, leaving Ba Bel and Sima Lian to speak privately. Unlike before, this time Si

  • Chapter 76: The Young Demonic Emperor's Strategy

    Jiang Ji and Wong An sighed deeply upon hearing Ba Bel’s question. Both were just as confused as Ba Bel, as the Earth and Sky Sword Sect was the only remaining loyal supporter of Prince Liu Chan.“From what I know, the Noble Mi Family and the Noble Jiu Family have declared their support for Prince Liu Chan. Representatives from both noble houses will likely come tonight to pay their respects and declare their support directly to Prince Liu Chan. However, if it's only those two noble houses, I don't think it will be nearly enough to handle the Death Mask and the Bloodthirsty Demonic Sect, who are staunch supporters of Prince Liu Chong,” Wong An stated his opinion, looking at Ba Bel.Jiang Ji then exhaled roughly. “I have spoken privately with Prince Liu Chan....” Jiang Ji then glanced toward Wong An. “I also told Prince Liu Chan about my plan to acquire resources that could draw White Path Sects to the Crown Prince’s side. The C

  • Chapter 75: Fateful Chains in the Palace

    Ba Bel finally regained consciousness a few hours later. He then drank a cup of water to quench his thirst.“It’s a good thing the Sect Master was satisfied with my explanation. If he hadn’t been, I wouldn’t know what I could have done to escape his wrath.” Ba Bel breathed a sigh of relief and gazed at the Blood Ginseng lying on the table.“Ah... at least this whole tragedy brought me a high-value treasure.” Ba Bel chuckled to himself while looking at the Blood Ginseng. “I should absorb the nutrients from this Blood Ginseng immediately. If the King-level cultivator who caught me last night hadn't been the Sect Master, I would certainly be dead.” Ba Bel clicked his tongue in frustration because his cultivation was still far from what he had targeted.Ba Bel then began to consume and absorb the Blood Ginseng. Just as he finished consuming the entire 200-year-old Blood Ginseng, a huge surge of energy rushed thro

  • CHAPTER 74: A Dying Bargain

    "Chief, you yourself said that even with heretical arts, and even among the Dark Faction experts in the Shu Empire, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate at my speed, wouldn't it? I believe the Chief already has his own guess about how I could improve this quickly, right?" Ba Bel attempted to stand firm, restraining his body from trembling in fear before Jiang Ji.Jiang Ji furrowed his brow when he saw Ba Bel still standing firm and not trembling with fear, despite Jiang Ji projecting his killing intent directly at him.Not only was Ba Bel’s unafraid reaction outside his prediction, but Jiang Ji currently saw Ba Bel as if he were enjoying this dangerous moment."Don't play games when the boundary between life and death is thinner than a strand of hair. You not only possess a mind far more mature than others—even your master—but you are also exceptionally bloodthirsty!" Jiang Ji spoke in a slightly raised tone, still restraining himself f

  • CHAPTER 73: Jiang Ji’s Suspicion

    “Sect Leader, do you mean that the noble Emperor Liu Bei did not attend the funeral of his two grandchildren and asked the Sect Leader not to investigate their deaths because of the Five Dragons, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Sect, and the other Dark Faction martial artists who are standing with and supporting Prince Liu Chong?” Wong An said, staring at Jiang Ji. Wong An was now beginning to understand the entire situation.Jiang Ji nodded his head. “That is most likely why His Excellency did not attend the funeral of his two grandchildren. Besides them, there are still the bandits from the Black Centipede supporting the Second Prince.” Jiang Ji then looked at Ba Bel and Wong An alternately. "...And from what I hear, you and your disciple paid them a courtesy visit, wiped out dozens of Black Centipede strongholds, and freed the captives.” Jiang Ji openly praised Wong An and Ba Bel's actions.Wong An and Ba Bel's destruction of the Black Centipe

  • CHAPTER 72 The Secrets of Death and Succession

    “What? Prince Liu Chong gained the support of the Green Dragon Elder!? How can that be?” Wong An couldn't believe what he was hearing.Both he and Ba Bel never expected Prince Liu Chong could secure the support of the Green Dragon Elder.“The Five Dragons? Why are they interfering in the current imperial succession struggle? In my first life, they only intervened when rumors spread about the seven sacred weapons and the four unparalleled martial arts manuals, objects supposedly originating from another world—that’s what triggered the age of darkness, and they were also the masterminds behind the annihilation of the Heaven and Earth Sword Sect in my first life!” Ba Bel muttered inwardly.Ba Bel and Wong An stared at their Sect Leader. Both wanted to know why the largest Black Faction organization in the Shu Empire was meddling in the fight for the emperor’s throne.“This is all due to the Jiu family....” Jiang Ji’s face hardened as he said this. “The Jiu f
