Tian Chen walked through the city of Chaozhou alongside the city guards. News of his success in driving away the bandits had already reached the townspeople. As he strolled, many of them greeted him warmly and offered gifts.

Tian Chen initially wanted to refuse, but seeing their sincerity, he accepted the gifts out of respect for them.

After wandering through the city, Tian Chen returned to his residence, bringing lots of food for Yinlei.

“Oak.” The black horse with golden eyes became excited and immediately devoured all the food Tian Chen gave him.

“Yinlei, get some rest. It might not be long before we face a great battle.”

“Oak!” the black horse replied with full spirit.

Tian Chen chatted with Yinlei. Even though Yinlei only said “Oak,” Tian Chen seemed to understand his meaning.

Before they knew it, their conversation stretched into sunset, and night arrived.

As night fell, all the guards stationed at Tian Chen’s residence felt short of breath. It wasn’t without reason—a ki

    Tian Chen glanced at Shisi and Singzhi. He gave a slight nod, needing no words. Both responded with meaningful looks. Concern was implied in their gazes, but no one dared to hold Tian Chen back. Then, his body rose along with Shu Hen's. Without another word, they flew straight through the sky of Tianjian Peak. The trail of wind left behind seemed to show how urgent the summons was. It didn't take long before they arrived at the courtyard of the Main Sect Hall. The courtyard was filled with people. Rows of disciples from various peaks, elders, and even some outer disciples who had infiltrated the crowd—all gathered without official invitation. Rumors had spread quickly, and their curiosity overcame their fear of breaking the rules. Their eyes moved quickly, searching for famous figures they could only see from a distance. “Look, isn’t that Tian Chen? Why did he come? Does he want to see Holy Disciples like us?” Whispers arose like a rapidly spreading current. Sharp and questioning

    Shisi observed carefully. She repeated the movement, adjusting as taught. This time, her body didn't sway at all. When she finished the move, her breath wasn't interrupted. "That's right," she murmured. "You keep too many tricks." "Not tricks. Just the result of living too long in the wrong place," Tian Chen replied. His tone remained flat, but didn't imply coldness. Singzhi rose from his seat and began to move. He imitated the same move, but then added one or two quick movements characteristic of his own fighting style. His body was more flexible, but there was a slight haste visible. "If I add this, then continue with this... how is it?" Tian Chen only glanced. "Against wild beasts, maybe enough. But if your opponent has a brain, you'll be knocked down before you can finish the second movement." Singzhi sighed deeply, then patted his own thigh. "So I have to practice more diligently, huh?" "You should have done so a long time ago," Tian Chen replied, his tone still flat. It d

    Morning light illuminated the valleys surrounding Tianjian Peak. The gentle glow of the sun crept slowly, unraveling the thin mist that hung low between the peaks. The floating mountains stood tall like islands in the sky, welcoming the new day in an almost sacred silence. Birds with delicate wings glided peacefully, painting curved lines in the air while occasionally emitting soft sounds that blended with the whisper of the wind. On one of the most secluded floating mountains, Tian Chen sat cross-legged on a flat, moss-covered rock. He was positioned on the eastern side of the platform, facing a gap in the clouds that constantly shifted shape. His back was straight, his shoulders aligned. His eyes were closed, but not in shallow meditation. His breath was long, deep, yet so light, as if the entire world adjusted its rhythm so as not to disturb the silence. The aura around him remained calm. There were no visible ripples of power, yet that silence formed an invisible boundary, sugges

    Although Tian Chen was forbidden from becoming a disciple by the Patriarch's direct order, they initially disagreed. But after considering it deeply, they finally reached an undeniable conclusion: What mattered most was that Tian Chen was officially registered as a member of Tianjian Peak. Even if he wasn't their personal disciple. That was enough. Tian Chen smiled slightly. A genuine smile. “Senior, with pleasure.” They headed towards Shu Hen's residence together. Their steps were calm, yet they carried an aura of victory. The eyes of the servants who saw them immediately lowered, but in their hearts they acknowledged: this was a new beginning for Tianjian Peak. Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, a figure was already waiting. Singzhi. He stood with his arms crossed, a wide smile on his face. Upon seeing Tian Chen, he immediately strode forward and clapped him hard on the shoulder. A clap that showed closeness, as well as an admiration that couldn't be hidden. Singzhi immed

    Tian Chen smiled wryly. He turned slowly towards Shisi. In his gaze, there was not only disappointment but also wonder at a woman's heart. It was clear that Di Wuxu had initially intended to rape her. Yet, she still showed reluctance towards her own enemy. “Senior Sister, he deserved this. He’s more suited to making love with animals than with humans. Besides, this punishment is actually too light for someone like him.” There was nothing more to be said. After leaving Di Wuxu in the cage of female tigers, Tian Chen didn't look back. He walked away, and Shisi followed behind him. They climbed onto Yinlei's back. The night wind greeted them with a cold gust. The night sky gradually calmed. The screams from the valley were still faintly audible, like echoes from the depths of hell opened for one person alone. But Tian Chen remained silent. Shisi sat on Yinlei's back, gazing at Tian Chen's back. Silent. In her heart, there was a sense of awe, but also an inexplicable admiration. “Ju

    Tian Chen looked at Shisi. His eyes no longer held doubt, only an unshakeable cold firmness. “Senior Brother, if you can’t kill him, then I will teach you how to kill.” His words were like a boundary line etched into the ground. No gray area. Only life or death. Di Wuxu, witnessing all this, sank deeper into fear. Tian Chen's gaze didn't change, even after slaughtering seven people before him in an almost emotionless manner. Di Wuxu's breath came in ragged gasps. His legs trembled violently, and his face was as pale as a corpse recently pulled from the riverbed. All his self-respect crumbled. The threat he had previously uttered, which he considered his last weapon to pressure Tian Chen, now became a boomerang that struck back with tenfold force. Tian Chen's approaching footsteps made the ground seem to tremble. Di Wuxu tried to back away, but his legs felt rooted. And when Tian Chen stopped before him, a pungent, foul odor immediately pierced his nostrils. Tian Chen frowned. His
