Hours later, Emperor Zan Ziming surveyed the area, confusion clouding his expression. The ruler of the Song Dynasty could not find his nephew or Jian Ying—the heroes who had brought victory to his kingdom. Even the soldiers sent to search returned empty-handed. It was as if the young pair had vanished into thin air.

“Did none of you see where they went?” the emperor asked his men.

“Your Majesty,” one soldier replied respectfully, “I saw them whispering to each other earlier. Then the prince took the young lady’s hand and led her away. I thought they merely wished to rest… but apparently not.”

Emperor Zan Ziming shook his head slowly. He knew his nephew well—the boy had left to avoid fame and praise. The emperor felt nothing but admiration for the young man’s humility and modesty. He thought to himself that, when Li Jie someday took the throne of the Shang Dynasty, he would gladly submit under his banner.

About two hours later, just before sunset, Li Jie and Jian Ying arrived at

  • A Happy Ending

    Thank you for reading this entire story. To complete and meet the required word count for this month, I will include several chapters from my next book, titled “The Rise of the Sword of Darkness.” *** Mao Tung nodded solemnly. After paying their final respects to the late Mahaguru, the three of them turned back toward the palace in the heavenly realm. The journey took them two days, yet they encountered no significant obstacles along the way. Once they arrived, Li Jie immediately made his way to the grand hall, eager to meet Xiao Chen. The Heavenly Palace, which had been left in ruins from the recent war, was slowly but steadily being restored. Gods and Demons, once adversaries, now worked together in harmony to rebuild what had been destroyed. Even the demon troops that had been enemies only a few days ago now joined in the restoration efforts, contributing their strength to the reconstruction of the palace. Upon entering the grand hall, Li Jie approached Xiao Chen and Zhu Fe

  • Mistrust

    “After my father passed away, Li Jie continually encouraged me to rise again and again. He, too, had experienced what you went through, Grandfather. His parents died when he was only five years old. You were fortunate to have someone to care for you, but Li Jie had to survive by wandering from childhood until he became an adult,” Jian Ying spoke, her voice filled with calm determination as she recounted the hardships endured by the young man she regarded as her own.Mao Tung remained silent, absorbing every word that flowed from Jian Ying’s lips, his mind turning over each detail carefully, like a man weighing precious gems.“You are right, Jian Ying. I should not allow myself to be lost in this sorrow. I must accept that every living being faces death, and so too must Mahaguru,” Mao Tung said, straightening his hunched back that had been bent under the weight of grief. Suddenly, the small urn in his hands vanished without a trace, as if swallowed by the air itself

  • Punishment for the Traitor

    Elsewhere, three Hell Demons, who initially struggled against the shapeshifter army with their thick, weapon-resistant fur, finally unleashed their true forms—beings of fire.Millennia of meditation in the depths of Hell had forged their mastery over the element of fire into something truly terrifying. Slowly but inexorably, the hellish flames they commanded began to incinerate the thick fur and the bodies it covered.In a relatively short span of time, more than five hundred shapeshifters had perished in the flames. Their bodies turned to ash almost instantly each time they were struck by the searing fire conjured by the three Hell Demons.High above in the sky, Jian Ma, fully aware of Li Jie’s superior power, nonetheless chose to resist the young man.At first, Jian Ma was confident that the shapeshifter troops he had summoned would be able to make a difference against the combined forces, who were already fatigued from battling Emperor Guo Yin’

  • Niskala’s Betrayal

    Slowly, he stepped forward, carefully gathering the ashes of Mahaguru’s body and placing them into a small urn that had suddenly appeared in his hands. The act was solemn, almost reverential, and the entire palace hall seemed to hold its breath in that moving moment. Every person present bowed their heads in deep respect, honoring the departure of Mahaguru.Li Jie and Xiao Chen abruptly turned their gaze when one of the warrior demons of the Petarung clan hurriedly entered the hall.“I apologize for the intrusion, Sirs,” the demon said, bowing slightly. “But something is happening outside.”Li Jie’s brow furrowed. So did Xiao Chen’s and the others’. Only Mao Tung remained still, silent and lost in thought, still struggling to cope with the loss of his master.“What is happening outside?” Li Jie asked, his voice calm but tinged with concern.Before the demon could answer, a loud explosion shook the air.“Currently, Wu Long is enga

  • Mahaguru’s Message

    Zhu Feng followed the three of them, walking alongside as they made their way toward the palace hall. The air was thick with the lingering remnants of the battle, yet the young and old alike moved cautiously, their eyes scanning every shadow, every corner, as if danger might still lurk unseen.“Truthfully,” Mahaguru spoke softly, his voice barely a whisper yet carrying a weight that made the air feel heavier, “from the very beginning, I never intended to oppose you.”“But Mahaguru,” Xiao Chen interjected, his brow furrowed with confusion, “didn’t you already write a letter to Grandfather Mao Tung, declaring your support for King Guo Yin?”Mahaguru’s calm gaze met theirs. “Regarding the letter I sent to my cherished disciple, Mao Tung, I had no choice but to write it while Guo Yin stood before me. He pressured me constantly, demanding my support, and attempted to sway my intentions by reminding me of the oath I once swore long ago,” he explained,

  • The Death of King Guo Yin

    The golden energy sword in Li Jie’s hand suddenly grew larger just moments before reaching its intended target. It was as if the young man had infused his own strength into the weapon, causing the sword’s size to surge dramatically. The glow of the energy emanated brightly, illuminating the battlefield in a blinding golden light.King Guo Yin caught sight of this sudden transformation, a flicker of disbelief crossing his face. Yet he had no time to react. His body could not dodge, could not counter, could only surrender to the strike that came faster and more powerful than anything he had anticipated.Blaaaar!The explosion that followed was the most catastrophic of the entire battle. The thunderous blast resonated so loudly that the surrounding soldiers on both sides were thrown into chaos. Many were torn apart, their bodies shattered into fragments by the sheer force of the detonation.A gaping, deep crater formed instantly at the stri
