2024-07-12 01:12:18The General took Wangmei’s body back to the Kingdom. Wang Chong welcomed their arrival. After hearing the whole story, Wang Chong didn’t care about Xiao Tian, as he also believed that wild beasts indeed ate Xiao Tian.
“Prepare a funeral for my sister! As for Xiao Jian’s body, throw it into the soul-tracker dog kennel.” Wang Chong was genuinely ruthless, letting his brother-in-law’s body become food for his pet dogs. After Wangmei’s body was buried and Xiao Jian’s body was thrown into the dog kennel, they didn’t know that both bodies had transformed into a tree branch. **** In a place far away, not in the Ming Dynasty nor Wuyu City, a middle-aged man stood with a wonderful woman on a mountain peak that reached beyond the clouds. The man and woman bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Jian and Wangmei. The woman gazed at the vast sea of clouds spreading out before her. Even though she looked at the sea of clouds, her vision could penetrate everything in every direction. She sighed softly with a sad face. “Husband, aren’t we being excessive, leaving our child like that?” The man smiled faintly, though his body trembled slightly at the question. “He’ll be fine. If he can’t survive in such a small world, he’s not worthy of being my son.” “Husband, why didn’t we take Tian’er with us? He could grow better, especially if he received your guidance; he could surely become a great expert in this universe.” It turned out that the man and woman talking were Xiao Jian and Wangmei. The bodies killed in the Wang Kingdom were just replacements, not their natural bodies. “Tian’er must find his path in cultivation. The hatred in his heart will make him grow faster. If he follows me, he might increase, but it would diminish his potential. Moreover, those who become true experts have lived through various hardships. Without hardship, pain, and humiliation, one cannot ascend to the peak of glory. Only those who have endured numerous challenges can stand at the pinnacle of cultivation. Now, it’s time for us to go. I can’t leave my clan any longer, or else a great catastrophe will occur in the entire universe.” No matter what, Wangmei was a mother, and a mother’s worry was far more significant than a father’s. However, she couldn’t oppose her husband’s decision, who held the status of the Supreme God Emperor. Xiao Jian held his wife’s hand and then walked across the stars. After reaching a certain height, he tore through space and disappeared. Xiao Tian sank into the great river, unconscious. Various ferocious beasts approached to devour him. However, when the beasts were just a few meters away from him, Xiao Tian's body suddenly shone. The light was so intense that it blinded the approaching beasts. They seemed confused and frightened, quickly retreating from Xiao Tian. The scene was astonishing because these beasts were known to be extremely powerful and fierce. The weakest among them were level two beasts, equivalent to third-class warriors in the human realm. The strongest were beast kings, equivalent to earth king warriors in the human realm. The beasts fled in fear from Xiao Tian's weak body. The light emanating from the minor child's body drove away all the ferocious beasts. How could a child make such fearsome beasts retreat? What happened to Xiao Tian's body that allowed him to emit such powerful light? After the beasts fled, the light disappeared from Xiao Tian's body. **** At the calm riverbank, two figures were practicing together. One was a small girl, about eight years old, with her hair tied in a ponytail, fluttering in the wind. The other was an older man, standing tall and wise, watching the girl's every move intently. The little girl was practicing sword techniques. Although the sword she wielded was just a wooden toy, her swings were lively and unpredictable. The wind complemented her swings, creating a mesmerizing rhythm. "Ziyan Rouxi, it's time to go home. You've been practicing from morning till near sunset, making Grandpa waste a lot of time watching you," the old man sitting on a rock grumbled at the little girl. "Grandpa, you finally have time to watch me practice, but you're already complaining so much. It seems you don't care about me at all!" the little girl pouted. Despite her young age, she looked lovely. Before the older man could reply, he saw a small child's body drifting in the river's current. "Wait, Grandpa!" the girl shouted. "Where are you going? Don't...." Before Ziyan Rouxi could finish her sentence, she saw the child's body being carried by the current, not far from a high waterfall. The older man ran into the water, retrieving the minor child's body—Xiao Tian. After bringing him to the riverbank, the older man still heard Xiao Tian's heartbeat. "This child is not dead." He immediately channeled his internal energy into Xiao Tian's body. Xiao Tian suddenly coughed, expelling a lot of water from his mouth. After continuous internal energy transmission, Xiao Tian began to open his eyes slowly. When he fully opened his eyes, he saw the little girl's face very close to his. Their eyes met. "Are you the angel of death? Why isn't your face scary?" Slap— Ziyan Rouxi immediately slapped Xiao Tian's face. "Ahh.... Why did you slap me?" Xiao Tian didn't understand why the angel of death slapped him. "What did you just say? Angel of death? Do you want me to kill you?" Ziyan Rouxi was annoyed with being called the angel of death by Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian tried to get up but felt his whole body ache as if it were shattered. After a while, he realized an older man was channeling his internal energy to heal his injuries. "Don't move too much! Your body has suffered severe injuries. Let me heal you first."

When Xiao Tian arrived at the law enforcement division, the atmosphere changed instantly. The guards, who had previously stood tall with fierce auras, immediately bowed in respect upon seeing his presence. Some even swept aside their robes in reverence, making way for him. Though their faces remained expressionless, the look in their eyes reflected sincere respect—bordering on hidden fear. After all, the person they saw was no ordinary disciple. He was Puyanghai. The second young master of the law enforcement division. The son of Puxue. The grandson of Pujangshan. Puyanghai’s aura had changed. So powerful, so majestic, that his presence alone made many Elders hold their breath. “Young master, the vice leader and leader are currently not in the headquarters. They’re sweeping the entire Holy Moon Sect territory to find the killer of young master Pukaishan,” one of the guards said politely, though he couldn’t hide the slight tremble in his voice. “I know, but there’s something urgen

“Young master, I will definitely do my best,” said the Sect’s Vice Leader quickly, bowing deeply with a pale face. But in his heart, suppressed rage and hatred began to stir. ‘Damn it, how can I be controlled by a mere brat? I have to find a way to—Aaahhhh!!!” A scream echoed. The Vice Leader suddenly cried out in pain, his body faltering, knees crashing into the hard ground without resistance. He saw Xiao Tian still standing calmly, but his gaze was now sharp and cold like a dagger slicing through bone. “Old dog, so you chose death! I already said that I can not only see your actions, but I can also hear your thoughts and inner voice. But it seems you doubted that!” said Xiao Tian, his face expressionless. There was no visible anger, but the aura of death enveloping the area was too real, too silent, and too cruel. “Young master, please forgive me. I swear I’ll never think anything evil again, I swear upon my life!” The Vice Leader was utterly terrified. He no longer dared to res

The Azure Dragon snorted. His gaze burned like a flame that despised false praise. That look pierced every layer of the heart and judged every lie. “Hmm… you’re quite the bootlicker, aren’t you? Your task isn’t much—just protect Daniel and Ershita’er in this Sect. If anything goes wrong, don’t blame me if you die suddenly without even realizing it!” Every word that came from his mouth was like an inscription on a Divine tablet. He wasn’t issuing commands, but verdicts. And in this world, no one dared to defy the decree of a resurrected Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon then turned his gaze toward Daniel and Ershita’er, who stood not far away. The two remained frozen, eyes wide open, still unable to fully comprehend what had just happened. But that fear quickly turned into the next shock. In an instant, a beam of light shot forth from the dragon’s eyes, darting straight into their minds. The light did not cause injury, did not cause pain, but left behind a deep imprint that would neve

The Azure Dragon God Emperor hovered silently above the sky, his eyes coldly observing the figure who could no longer stand. Cold. Neutral. It held no anger, yet that made it even more terrifying. He floated as if unbound by any law, becoming the center of the world through mere existence. He deliberately did not kill him, due to Xiao Tian’s request. “If you held no value, I might have already erased you. However, since you still have your uses, I shall grant you the chance to live!” The Emperor’s voice was not loud, yet it struck directly into the soul. Every word carried pressure that froze blood. Just hearing it made breathing difficult and the heart tremble violently, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer. The Azure Dragon then slowly turned toward Xiao Tian. “Young friend, shall I do it now?” His gaze was serious, deep, and held the weight of a life-or-death decision. “Do it. We can’t stay here forever, so it’s time we had a puppet we can control!” Xiao Tian’s tone wa

Xiao Tian remained standing, calm as a rock. He raised his eyebrow slightly before sending a silent voice transmission. “Senior,” said Xiao Tian to the soul of the Azure Dragon God Emperor residing in his divine ring. “Young friend, there's no need to worry. Ants like them can be crushed with a spit from me.” A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Tian’s lips. “Good, but please don’t kill the Vice Leader of the Sect. He may still be useful.” “Just a mere God King, and you dare act wild here!” BOOM!!! Just before that power touched Xiao Tian’s body— Everything vanished. The suppressive force disappeared like smoke blown away by a storm. Not a trace remained. Instead, the air around them suddenly turned thick and heavy, filled with a deadly pressure far beyond the comprehension of anyone present. The atmosphere seemed to solidify into invisible walls piercing down to the marrow. DUARRR!!! An explosion of energy shook the dimension. The shockwaves spread like an unstoppa

Daniel and Ershita’er immediately felt the pressure piercing through their bones. Their chests felt tight, as if crushed by an invisible mountain. Breathing became difficult, and their bodies began to tremble. “Th—they’re really Supreme Gods,” Daniel said in horror. His voice was soft, like someone half-awake in a nightmare that felt too real. But before that aura could reach Xiao Tian’s residence and destroy it, something they couldn’t comprehend happened. When the aura was only forty meters away from the residence, it suddenly vanished. Not weakened, but disappeared—as if swallowed by an unexplainable void. The atmosphere shifted again, silent yet uncomfortable. This silence was even more terrifying than the explosion of aura earlier. Xiao Tian stood up, then turned his face toward Daniel. “Daniel, pay attention. This concerns your power. So don’t let yourself miss any enlightenment.” Though still confused by what he meant, Daniel followed Xiao Tian’s steps. Ershita’er didn’t w
