2025-06-07 15:30:12Fang Yun could sense that something was wrong. And when he connected it with the code his father had given earlier in the hall, he felt there must be a connection.
"Father, is something wrong?" Fang Yun asked. His eyes glanced at Ho Chen, who was also watching him.
As a father, Duke Fang An certainly didn’t want to worry his son. He forced a smile onto his lips as best as he could. Though bitter, he had to manage it.
"There’s nothing, my son. Just a small matter, nothing you need to trouble yourself with. Your father is still more than capable of handling it," he replied.
"But, Father..."
"That's enough, Fang Yun. It’s your father's matter, let me handle this little issue," Duke Fang An interjected, stopping his son's words. "Why are you home already? Isn’t the long break still a year away? And who are your two friends?"
"Star Sword Sect no longer exists, my husband. So our son can’t train there an

A Difficult Battle
The son of the Sun God, born as a human, swiftly drew his yellow iron staff and blocked the strike just in time before the sword of one of the soldiers could cleave his head in two. Ho Chen was pushed back a dozen steps from the sheer power behind the attack.Before he could regain his balance, a spear came thrusting toward his stomach. With no other choice, Ho Chen threw himself to the side—better that than ending up skewered like a satay lamb.He was truly struggling against the relentless combination attacks from the two large-eared soldiers. He could tell their strength and speed were far greater than the gatekeepers he had fought at the entrance to the demon realm.Their movements were coordinated and seamless. When one finished attacking, the other would follow up immediately. That was what made it nearly impossible for Ho Chen to counterattack. A moment's lapse could lead to severe injury—or worse.“You two won’t defeat me that ea
A Human in the Demon Realm
Deep down, Ho Chen felt like throwing up—and laughing—at the same time when he was forced to lie. The truth was, he had no idea who Qiang Mo even was. Other than the demon he had fought inside a large house in a dense forest, he knew no other demons by name. Fortunately, he played his role perfectly, and the suspicion of the four gatekeepers gradually faded. Eventually, they allowed Ho Chen to enter the Demon King's domain. Without even a hint of a smile, Ho Chen stepped through the gate—only to be left gaping at the sight that awaited him on the other side. It was nothing like he had imagined. He had expected the demon kingdom to be somewhat similar to human realms. But now, seeing it for himself, he realized the differences were vast. From the architecture to the environment, everything was completely unlike the human world. Most of the buildings in the demon realm were massive and made of stone. In addition, ornate and h
Entering the Demon Realm
Ho Chen ducked low and twisted slightly as the demon gatekeeper’s spear swung toward his neck. He aimed a punch with his left fist toward his opponent’s stomach, but the attack was narrowly dodged.The cave trembled slightly as Ho Chen’s missed blow released a surge of stray energy from the Drunken God Strike, which slammed into the cave wall.Fortunately, he hadn’t used his full inner energy—fearing that a missed strike could collapse the cave. His caution was justified. If the cave crumbled, he would be buried inside along with it.Before he could retract his palm, the demon’s spear slashed toward his arm. He barely managed to block it with the heirloom staff in his right hand.However, the force of the block left him vulnerable—a kick landed squarely on his chest, sending him hurtling backward. His body crashed into the cave wall, but not too violently, as he had driven his Yellow Iron Staff into the ground to slow his momentum, leaving a long scar along the cave floor.He hadn’t y
The Death of the Demon Beast and the Guardian Hound
"I have to kill that damned hound first!" Ho Chen muttered furiously. Every time he launched an attack, it was always disrupted by the demon hound that aided the two demon gatekeepers. As a result, he couldn’t land a direct blow on his enemies.Ho Chen increased his speed. This time, he focused solely on the demon hound. He was convinced that once the hound was dead, he could take down the two gatekeepers much faster.Realizing that the hound had become the young man's main target, the two demon gatekeepers tried to protect it. They fought desperately to block Ho Chen’s swift attacks within the cave-shaped dimensional portal.Their large, towering bodies were also hindered by the cave’s ceiling, limiting their movement. So, defense became their temporary solution until the gate would close again.But Ho Chen didn’t let them breathe even for a second. He kept chasing them wherever they moved. His smaller frame compared to the demons gave him a distinct advantage, one he utilized to its
Battle Within the Dimensional Portal
“You’d better avoid fighting the portal guardians, Ho Chen. Look for the right moment to sneak in. They won’t hesitate to kill,” said Qiang Mo.“Why should there be a fight? Can’t I just walk in?” Ho Chen asked, clearly confused. His expression said it all.“You are not one of them, Ho Chen. No matter how well you disguise yourself, the demon hounds will still detect you,” Qiang Mo explained briefly.“Demon hounds? You’re kidding, Grandpa!” Ho Chen chuckled lightly.“You’re laughing now because you don’t know what the demon realm is really like. Once you’re inside, you’ll encounter many strange things,” Qiang Mo said with slight irritation.“Sorry, Grandpa.” Ho Chen lowered his head apologetically.“It’s alright, Ho Chen. Let this be a lesson. People have different levels of understanding. What you think is right might not be so for someone with a deeper insight—and vice versa.” Qiang Mo smiled as he gently stroked the young man’s hair.“I understand what you’re saying. There’s still
the Green Turtle Talisman
Ho Chen swallowed hard. Although he had never directly encountered the power of the Hell Serpent Demon, the fact that Qiang Mo was this concerned was enough to confirm that the demon’s strength was truly terrifying. “I have to stop it, Grandpa. No matter what it takes, that cursed creature must not rise again.” “There’s one more problem, actually, Ho Chen.” Qiang Mo let out a long sigh. “What now?” Ho Chen asked curiously. “Her Majesty Qiang Hui said your friend has already fallen in love with the demon king’s daughter. And that means your task will be even more difficult, Ho Chen. If your friend refuses to return, then you must kill him,” Qiang Mo replied. It was a heavy truth, but one he had to tell. “Does it really have to go that far, Grandpa?” Ho Chen rubbed his forehead. It was a situation he had never wished to face. Killing Fang Yun would be like killing himself. “If you don’t want to kill him, then you must take him away from that place!” Ho Chen blinked several times.
