2026-05-01 09:44:14The air in the soundproof VIP room felt heavy and hot.
Zhao Ming sat frozen in his chair. The black pouch containing three hundred gold pieces and forty medium-grade spirit stones that he had arrogantly thrown just moments ago now spun slowly in Xiao Chen's hand. The Third Prince frowned, staring at the dagger the servant-clothed young man had just tossed onto the mahogany table.
The tip of the dagger still had a crust of black blood from Xiao Chen's

Chapter 37: The Cunning Mind's Move
The silver light from Xie Yunfei's sword glowed dimly, dampened by the sea of torches that now surrounded him from all directions.In the center of the Blood Ghost Sect's camp, the chaos had solidified into a deadly encirclement. Xie stood, panting, in front of the skull-carved stone pillar. The tip of his sword trembled, dripping with the blood of an enemy he had just cut down, but his own body was not unscathed. His silk robe was torn at the shoulder and waist, the result of a machete slash from the one-eyed field commander.Behind Xie, Ning'er whimpered softly. The black iron chains wrapped around her neck and hands were still intact. Xie's emotionally charged sword strike had not only failed to cut the formation-coated metal, but had also triggered an energy explosion that now brought hell before them."Yunfei... why did you come?" Ning'er whispered between her suppressed sobs. "You're just... throwing your life away
Chapter 36: Infiltration of the Blood Camp
The night wind carried a thick, foul-smelling fog from the Forbidden Forest. Behind a dense thicket of thorny bushes, two figures lay prone on the muddy ground, completely blending in with the darkness.In front of them, less than fifty paces away, stood the elite camp of the Blood Ghost Sect. Torches stuck in the ground cast a yellowish-red light, illuminating the rows of black tents and a stone pillar in the middle of the field where Ning'er was tied.Xie Yunfei gritted his teeth. His hand gripped the hilt of his silver sword so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. His emotions were in a violent turmoil, making the Qi circulation in his Titled Warrior's Dantian unstable.Suddenly, two ice-cold fingers pressed precisely on the Fengchi acupuncture point on Xie's wrist, instantly locking the young man's Qi flow."Hold your breath, you fool," Xiao Chen whispered almost silently, his l
Chapter 35: The Cry on the Iron Wheels
The atmosphere at the rickety wooden table instantly plummeted to its coldest point.PRANG!Shards of a ceramic cup scattered across the dirty floor of the Shadow Auction House. Expensive wine spilled, soaking Xie Yunfei's silk boots. The young man, who had been chattering away with a wide laugh and showing off his wealth just moments ago, was now frozen. His naive smile was dead. The veins on his neck and jaw bulged, while his widened eyes reflected a shadow of rage ready to explode at any moment."Ning'er..." Xie whispered, his voice hoarse and trembling, as if his soul had just been ripped from his throat.Outside the dusty window, the procession continued to move. The iron wheels of the cage carriage creaked horribly as they ground over the rocky street. Dozens of elite warriors from the Blood Ghost Sect, mounted on warhorses, guarded it tightly, their black robes fluttering and carrying an aura
Chapter 34: The Incredibly Rich, Foolish Noble
"Hahaha! Goodness, my eyes are truly dazzled! Sorry about that, brother! It was an accident!" the rich young man exclaimed in a loud voice with a wide laugh, as if he were in a palace flower garden, not a den of thieves.Xiao Chen didn't answer right away. A vein in his temple throbbed faintly."What foolish noble is this?" Xiao Chen thought coldly. His eyes swept the surroundings, catching a dozen fierce-faced men starting to shift in their chairs and place their hands on their sword hilts. "His conspicuous behavior will trigger a bloodbath in less than three breaths. I came here to find Earth Sand, not to deal with the trash in this place that will attract attention."Without making a sound, Xiao Chen channeled a bit of his 2nd-Class Qi to the soles of his feet. He stomped the tip of his shoe on the wooden floor.Wush!A thin suction of Qi swept the floor, pulling dozens of the
Chapter 33: The First Adventure in the Mortal World
Xiao Chen crushed the cloth into dust in his palm. A cruel smirk played on his pale lips."So quickly. The pigs from the Sun Family are not only good at sucking up to princes, but also quick to bark to their masters in the dark sect," Xiao Chen thought.Based on the information he had absorbed from Advisor Zhao's memories and his analysis of the local factions, the Blood Ghost Sect was the absolute ruler of the underworld in this remote region of the empire. They were a mid-level sect filled with assassins, poison users, and cultivators who practiced forbidden Yin techniques. The scale of their threat was hundreds of times more deadly than the combined thugs of the black market or the mercenaries at the border outpost."Something troublesome," Xiao Chen hissed.He walked to the shattered window, looking out at the dark courtyard of the residence. The Heart Demon in his chest suddenly throbbed gently,
Chapter 32: The First Alliance
The oak door of the VIP room creaked open, breaking the tension that had been suffocating the main hall of the Sun Residence. Hundreds of pairs of noble eyes, which had been busy whispering and guessing how badly the servant's corpse would be mutilated, turned in unison.Patriarch Sun Biao, still holding his swollen cheek, held his breath. City Lord Chu Yunqiong unconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword.However, the scene that unfolded completely tore their common sense apart.It wasn't a blood-soaked corpse that was dragged out. Xiao Chen stepped over the threshold with a very calm posture. He straightened the wrinkled collar of his gray robe, then lowered his gaze and gave a polite smile, a mask of a submissive servant so perfect that it made Lei Tie, who was on guard in the corner of the room, frown.Behind him, Zhao Ming walked out casually. The Third Prince was once again holding the jade win
