263: The Peak Master Returns!
The moment those words echoed through the surroundings, Liu Kang couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He knew he hadn't been a reliable Peak Master.He didn't even know what activities had been taking place on Divine Lightning Peak, let alone how its members had been managing their daily affairs. Most of the faces standing before him were completely unfamiliar, and if not for Elder Qin standing among them, he might have wondered whether Su Lingxi had gathered the wrong people.He glanced at the kneeling figures before slowly raising his hand.“Everyone, please rise.”His voice wasn't particularly loud, but it carried clearly across the area.The disciples immediately stood up, their gazes fixed on him with a mixture of respect, curiosity, and excitement.Liu Kang swept his eyes across the crowd once more. Xu Qiang, Han Wei, Gu Ren, Zhao Lin, Xiao Yu, Fang Hu, and Bai Yu were all standing near the front. Although he recognized their names, he couldn't help feeling that he had missed far
262: Members of the Faction
Ye Lan didn't answer immediately.“It could,” she finally said. “But I don't want you to misunderstand me. The pavilion isn't inviting you out of charity, and no force can guarantee your safety against every enemy. If you join us, we would expect you to contribute to the pavilion in return for the resources and support you receive.”She met his gaze without looking away.“I simply believe that someone with your talent deserves the opportunity to consider more than one path.”Liu Kang couldn't help but smile.That was a much better answer than the promises of absolute protection he had expected to hear.“Then let me ask you one more question. If I join the Flowing Mist Pavilion, what happens to my relationship with the Azure Cloud Sect?”Ye Lan's face became serious.“That depends on what kind of arrangement you choose. I haven't come here to demand that you abandon the Azure Cloud Sect, nor can I make that decision on behalf of the pavilion. If you are interested, we can discuss the c
261: The Invitation of the Flowing Mist Pavilion
Liu Kang glanced at Ye Lan for a moment before nodding.“Of course. We can talk inside.”He turned toward Su Lingxi, who was still watching them with a mischievous smile.“Senior Sister Su, I'll be back shortly.”“Go ahead!” Su Lingxi waved her hand carelessly, but the smile on her face only grew wider. “Take your time, Junior Brother. There's no need to rush. After all, Lady Ye came all this way just to see you!”“Senior Sister!” Ye Lan exclaimed, her cheeks turning red.Su Lingxi burst into laughter, clearly enjoying her embarrassment.Liu Kang could only shake his head helplessly. He had already learned that arguing with the little devil was a waste of time, so he simply led Ye Lan toward the nearby pavilion.Once they were seated, he poured her a cup of tea before taking his own seat.“Now, what is it you wanted to discuss with me?”Ye Lan accepted the tea but didn't drink immediately. She studied him for a moment, as though trying to decide how best to begin.“Liu Kang, have you
260: The Azure Cloud Sect!
Liu Kang finally emerged from the hidden dimension and found himself standing behind Lin Xue, who had her hands behind her back and wore an unreadable expression.The surroundings remained quiet for a while before she finally spoke.“The sect will take care of your Divine Lightning Peak. Besides, someone is waiting for you at the entrance to your peak.”She turned toward Liu Kang, who was busy thinking about something. The moment her eyes fell on him, he snapped out of his thoughts and recalled what she had just said. He nodded humbly.Besides, there was no longer any need for them to thank each other. Their relationship had grown closer lately, and Liu Kang valued such relationships. A part of him wanted to stay by her side, but he understood that the responsibilities she shouldered alone were far more important. He promised himself that he would grow stronger and help her bear some of that burden.Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “So, does my coming out first mean we've
259: Foresight
Even worse, the battle had taken place before countless powerful figures.There was no hiding what had happened.The Head lifted his teacup and took a sip."Tell me about the Saint-ranked sword."Chu Wushuang's expression became serious."It is called Heavenrend. Its power is extraordinary, and Liu Kang's sword techniques become considerably more dangerous when he uses it. However, I don't believe the sword alone explains his strength.""Why?""Because even before he fully relied on it, his control over lightning and sword intent was already remarkable. His cultivation is low, but his combat ability is far beyond what his realm should permit."The Head's eyes flickered with interest."And what do you think of his future?"Chu Wushuang fell silent for a moment."If he survives long enough to grow, he could become a formidable opponent."The Head chuckled softly."You sound as though you have already decided to fight him again.""I have."Chu Wushuang raised his head, and his golden eye
258: The Head of the Imperial Academy
The Imperial Academy stood at the heart of Stormfall City, its towering gates overlooking the bustling streets below.As one of the most prestigious institutions in Stormfall Prefecture, it had produced countless powerful cultivators over the centuries. Many sect masters, clan patriarchs, and influential figures had once studied within its walls, and even those who had eventually surpassed their former teachers still regarded the academy with respect.Yet, despite its illustrious reputation, there was one person within the academy whose true strength remained a mystery.The Head of the Imperial Academy.No one knew his exact cultivation realm. Some believed he had already surpassed the Astral Core Realm, while others suspected that his strength was comparable to the most powerful figures in Stormfall Prefecture.However, none of these speculations had ever been confirmed.Even the academy's elders rarely discussed his strength openly.At that moment, a young man in dark purple robes a
