Qing Yuan stood in the center of the circle, gripping his staff tightly.“We have accused one another far too much without proof. If you still doubt Bintang, then let him answer for himself. Summon him here.”He glanced at Lue Yinan, who obediently nodded.A low murmur rippled through the chamber. Some agreed, some opposed, but in the end, the decision was accepted.Not long after, the heavy iron door at the far end of the room creaked open. The sound of footsteps echoed softly, yet each step felt as though it pierced straight into the heart.Bintang appeared, dressed in deep black robes with a long cloak trailing behind him. His hair flowed freely, and his eyes were calm like the night sky. The aura he carried was immense, as if a dragon had slipped into that confined chamber.Several elders instinctively tightened their grip on their staffs, even drawing deep breaths. Once again, they felt pressured simply by his presence.The white-haired elder, who had been the most vocal opponent

Inside the secret gathering of the Council Elders.The underground meeting chamber of the Soul Council was filled with dim torchlight, making the atmosphere even more suffocating. Twelve chairs formed a circle, all occupied by the most powerful elders of the Soul Nation.Silence lingered—until the white-haired elder finally broke it.“Bintang… that man is not an ally. He is poison. If we continue to let him remain by Kiana’s side, this nation’s throne may eventually fall into the hands of the ruler of Amerta.”“Exaggeration!” the long-bearded elder snapped, slamming his staff against the floor.“Without Bintang, Kiana would already be dead at the hands of Kancil Wong! Have you all gone blind? Or are you deliberately closing your eyes because you fear the shadows of the past?!”Wuuuuung… the air tightened.Some council members murmured and lowered their heads, while others dared to glare back sharply.“No matter how great his contribution,” the white-haired elder continued, “remember t

Bintang slowly lowered his sword. His gaze did not leave his disciple’s body, still bound by the remaining chains. Lue Yinan finally managed to remove them completely, and Kiana collapsed weakly into her master’s arms.“Master…” her voice was faint, but her eyes still carried that light of unwavering courage that always reminded Bintang of her indomitable spirit.“You have walked through hell, my disciple,” Bintang whispered. “But remember, suffering is not the end. It is the beginning of your destiny as the Emperor of the Nation of Jiwa. Even I did not expect that you would be the future Emperor of this land…”Kiana fell silent, her body trembling from the lingering sedative poison. Yet her master’s words were like a mantra sinking deep into her soul.That night, the Sky Dragon forces lit torches, guiding the way out of the headquarters that was now beginning to burn. Flames licked the steel walls, illuminating their faces.Qing Nan looked at Bintang’s back as he walked while carryin

In front of him stood Kancil Wong—thin, with a face carved by cunning lines. Beside him, a man in a black mask stood silently, yet the killing aura radiating from him was more terrifying than any army.Bintang stepped inside, his sword dripping with blood. His gaze locked instantly onto Kiana.“My disciple…”Kiana lifted her head, a faint smile appearing on her pale face. “Master, I knew you would come…”Kancil Wong burst into laughter. “Hahaha! So you really came alone. Good, good. Tonight will be the night of your death, and after this, the Nation of Amerta will be mine!”Bintang looked at him coldly. “You are not my match, Kancil Wong.”With lightning speed, Kancil Wong threw a small dagger. But before it could touch Bintang’s body, his sword had already moved, splitting the dagger in two.Wuuuuush!In the blink of an eye, his body vanished, reappearing right in front of Kancil Wong.A flash of steel cut through the air. Kancil Wong leapt backward, his robe sliced open. His express

The Dragon Axe headquarters truly changed after the Soul Nation Council decided to accept Bintang and the Sky Dragon Organization as official allies. Although most of the elders still looked at him with suspicion, they could not deny reality—only the Sky Dragon Organization was capable of matching Kancil Wong’s network.In the underground hall, a large table was filled with maps, photos, and intelligence reports. Bintang stood at the far end, his sharp eyes examining every detail.“Kancil Wong’s main base is at the northern harbor, an abandoned military weapons warehouse,” one of the scouts reported.“It is surrounded by seven-meter-high steel walls, guard towers at every corner, and more than two hundred armed troops.”Qing Nan looked serious. “A direct assault would be suicide.”Bintang smiled faintly. “Who said we’re going to attack from the front?”He stabbed a small dagger into the map, right on the water channel that ran beneath the base. “This is the way. This route has long be

Tuuut… Tuuut… Tuuut!Suddenly, Qing Nan’s phone rang. Bintang and Lue Yinan exchanged glances for a moment. Then a clear voice came from the other end of the line.“Kiana has been kidnapped… Honorable young master, forgive my troops for failing to protect her!”Deeeeggh!Qing Nan instinctively ended the call. His body trembled. If Kiana was in danger, how could he ever repay his adoptive father?“If only I had killed Kancil Wong back then… this would never have happened!”“There’s no point in regret now. Return to headquarters and prepare a plan,” Bintang replied quickly, a trace of worry finally appearing on his face.*At Kancil Wong’s headquarters.Kiana was chained to an iron chair. Her eyes were dull, her body weak from the sedative poison. Yet her gaze still burned with courage.Kancil Wong, thin and cunning-faced, circled around her like a snake.“Hahaha… Princess Qing, you don’t even know how many people want your head. You are the most valuable treasure in this country! Whoev
