Chapter 218: The Replaced Head
The room was silent, broken only by heavy breathing and the angry snorts of an old man dressed in a black and gold robe. Dorman, the Head of the Family, sat on his grand throne. His sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, burned with rage as two guards carried in Roen on a simple stretcher. Roen’s body was limp, his left leg wrapped in thick bandages soaked with dried blood. His face was pale, clearly enduring excruciating pain.Without a word, one of the guards threw Roen to the floor in front of Dorman. The weakened body tumbled, crashing onto the cold marble floor.Dorman stood, his body trembling. "Tell me who killed my son?" His voice was low, yet carried a weight that shook the entire room.Roen gritted his teeth. The pain in his leg nearly made him faint, but he forced himself to stay conscious. "They were from an assassination organization," he replied softly."Assassination organization?" Dorman frowned. "Do you think I don't know there are thousands of assassin groups across thi
Chapter 217: The Phoenix Crystal Key
Hansen stepped into the Sky Pavilion chamber with steady strides, but halted for a moment as his eyes landed on Mei.His surprise was evident and hard to hide. The sheer gown worn by the woman seemed intentionally designed to expose her shoulders, revealing porcelain-like white skin. Her neckline was daringly low, displaying alluring curves difficult for any man to ignore.And even without all that, Mei was already stunning. Her gaze was sharp yet radiant, her smile sweet, and her aura as calm as a spring evening breeze. But of course, for Hansen, there was always a comparison. Serisya—with her tall figure and charming round face—still ranked higher in terms of allure. Mei had a slimmer face, a more mature appearance, and an aura full of mystery.Mei noticed Hansen's gaze, and her smile widened. She gestured toward the chair in front of a small table."Please, sit down, Young Master Hansen," she said softly, her voice hoarse with a seductive undertone. Her hand poured tea from a jade
Chapter 216: Bait and Blood
Swoosh!Teng!A knife shot out from the crowd, slicing through the air at incredible speed, aimed directly at Adaru’s heart. The man had been strolling casually through the central market with two of his subordinates, completely unaware of a deadly attack in broad daylight.But one of his men, Roen, reflexively slashed the knife midair with his sword, redirecting its path into the nearby brick wall.Craak! The blade embedded deeply, sending chills down the spines of onlookers.Adaru halted instantly, his eyes wide. "Damn it! Who are you!?" he shouted, glaring toward the direction the blade had come from.A masked figure appeared from behind a flagpole, dressed in dark clothes and a light cloak tightly wrapped around their body. The figure said nothing, merely leapt onto a nearby rooftop with astonishing agility."After him!" Adaru shouted, launching himself into pursuit, with Roen and the other subordinate, Kiva, close behind.They chased the assassin across rooftops, jumping gaps and
Chapter 215: A Blazing Fury
Chief Heng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes sharply fixed on the subordinates kneeling before him. His face appeared shadowed under the flickering firelight at the center of the room. A heavy silence hung in the air—only the sound of burning wood could be heard, intensifying the tension."Has Lui sent his final message?" Chief Heng asked coldly, his tone firm. "It’s not like him to let a night pass without returning."Tung, one of his most loyal subordinates, bowed deeply. His voice was heavy, slightly trembling as he answered, "I just returned from the river, Sir. I found Lui’s cold corpse... without a head."He clenched his fists tightly, trying to contain his emotions. "He... was my best friend. We grew up together. But... to die like that..."Chief Heng let out a long sigh, not out of pity. His face remained expressionless. "A cultivator can die in many ways," he said calmly. "Don’t mourn. It won’t bring Lui back. But revenge... revenge we can carry until the
Chapter 214: The Phoenix Body Inheritance
"This happened twenty years ago..." the Ancestor’s voice was deep, hoarse, but filled with meaning. Inside the main meditation chamber, the glow of spiritual crystal lamps illuminated his calm, aged face. In front of Hansen and King Boman, the Ancestor closed his eyes for a moment, as if reliving that time."Siora," he said softly. "She was an extraordinary woman from a distant land. A rare expert—she possessed the Phoenix Body Constitution. When she cultivated, the energy of heaven and earth flowed to her effortlessly. The fire she produced wasn’t just any fire—it was the Ancient Phoenix Flame. Even among the pinnacle cultivators, her name once caused a stir."He paused, his eyes staring blankly ahead."But this world is cruel, especially to strong and beautiful women. Siora wasn’t just sought after for her power, but also for her beauty. Many powerful figures, sect leaders, even royal nobles from her homeland, wanted her as their wife or ally. But Siora rejected them all—and that wo
Chapter 213: A Father's Gratitude
Hansen closed his eyes, calming the waves of energy still surging within him after the event inside the Dragon Slate. He held Serisya’s hand, and in an instant, their consciousnesses were pulled back into their respective bodies.As their eyes opened simultaneously, both of them gasped for breath. There was a strange connection between them, as if their souls were still resonating—like two notes that had just merged in perfect harmony.Without thinking, Serisya hugged Hansen tightly. Her face pressed against his chest, as if she needed to confirm that all of this wasn’t just a dream. And before Hansen could say anything, her lips had already kissed his cheek gently. The intimacy came so naturally—without planning, without awkwardness... until—Ahem! A soft cough followed by a heavier throat-clearing sound came from behind. Then came the sound of firm, deliberate footsteps.Hansen and Serisya both flinched.Serisya turned her head and gasped, "Eh... Father! Since when have you been sta
