2026-06-18 14:45:44Shen Wuyin opened the door to find ten men standing outside, their robes fluttering in the wind as they blocked the entrance, each wearing cold, unreadable expressions that carried clear intent.
“They must be Shan Lian's men.” Shen Wuyin thought.
One of them stepped forward and cracked his knuckles.
“Pay us what you owe our boss!” he yelled.
Shen Wuyin looked at him for a moment without saying a word.
Back at Tianji hall, he had requested for another bag to separate thirty thousand gold coins.
Then he reached into his robe, took out bag, and tossed it forward.
The man caught it instinctively.
A clicking sound followed as the gold coins shifted inside.
The group fell silent.
Even the man holding the bag seemed momentarily stunned.
“Thirty thousand gold coins,” Shen Wuyin said calmly.
The man's eyes widened.
“Don't ever come near me or my family again.”
Without waiting for a response, Shen Wuyin turned around and walked back into the house.
Bang!
The door slammed shut behind him.
The ten men stood frozen outside.
None of them had expected the debt to be paid so easily.
After staring at one another for several moments, they eventually turned around and left.
★★★
In the woods behind Yun Li's house.
Sunlight filtered through the branches, casting patches of light across the forest floor.
Sweat covered Shen Wuyin's skin.
His chest rose and fell steadily as he stood beneath a towering tree.
He had just completed one thousand and fifty push ups.
His muscles burned.
His breathing remained controlled.
A grin slowly curved across his lips.
“I need to practice my new techniques.”
He extended both palms.
Flames immediately appeared above his skin.
The fire danced wildly before settling into a stable form.
Shen Wuyin narrowed his eyes and pushed his palms forward.
Qi surged through his meridians.
The flames shot forward.
Their intensity increased as more qi poured into them.
Several plants caught fire instantly, dry leaves curled into ash.
Branches blackened beneath the heat. The scent of burning wood filled the air.
Shen Wuyin nodded slightly.
“Not bad.”
Next, he focused on another technique.
The Spike Strike Technique.
Silver light gathered around his fingers, sharp metallic spikes formed rapidly around them
The moment he pointed forward, the spikes launched through the air.
Several trees were struck instantly.
The spikes buried themselves deeply into the trunks.
“Ouch!”
A soft voice suddenly echoed from one of the trees.
Shen Wuyin frowned.
His head snapped toward the trees.
“How long have you been there?” he asked, stepping forward.
A masked figure sat casually on one of the branches.
The figure narrowed its eyes.
“A duel?” the voice asked.
The masked person jumped from the branch and landed smoothly on the ground.
Shen Wuyin watched carefully.
“How long have you been there?” he asked again.
“Long enough to know you are still learning your way around cultivation.”
A small smirk appeared on Shen Wuyin's lips. “Quick to judge.”
The masked figure stepped forward. “Agreed.”
Shen Wuyin's eyes brightened. “Finally, a proper training partner.” He thought.
“Take off your mask,” he said as he slowly circled around.
“No.”
The masked figure moved as well.
Both of them walked in a circle while studying one another.
Cling!
The masked figure suddenly drew a sword.
The blade gleamed beneath the sunlight.
Shen Wuyin looked at it and sighed.
“I was beginning to feel bad for you. I thought we were only going to exchange punches.”
“Pity yourself.”
The masked figure moved first.
A sword strike sliced toward Shen Wuyin.
Immediately, he widened his palm.
Green light gathered in his hand. A sword materialized instantly.
The masked figure's eyes narrowed. “Impressive.”
Clang!
Their blades collided. Sparks erupted immediately.
The sound of metal striking metal echoed through the forest.
Both of them moved rapidly. Each strike collided with a sharp cling.
Clang!
Leaves drifted from nearby branches as shockwaves spread through the air.
The masked figure was competitive, far more competitive than most cultivators Shen Wuyin had encountered since arriving in this world.
The masked figure's sword suddenly flew from their hand.
It spun through the air before crashing onto the ground.
Shen Wuyin lowered his sword.
“So that was your plan to beat me?”
The masked figure rolled their eyes.
“I let you win.”
Shen Wuyin laughed.
“Fine. Then let's go all in.”
The masked figure stomped a foot onto the ground.
Immediately, a white circle spread outward beneath them.
Qi surged around the figure.
“Boy, show me what you've got.” She said.
Shen Wuyin grinned.
He wrapped qi around himself.
The duel resumed, this time neither side held back.
They exchanged strikes continuously. The ground cracked beneath their feet. Several trees were sliced apart by stray attacks.
Just as the masked figure launched another strike, the mask suddenly loosened, it slipped free.
Shen Wuyin froze briefly.
“A girl?”
The mask fell completely.
Long hair cascaded down. Delicate features were revealed beneath it.
The young woman raised an eyebrow.
“Yes. I'm here.”
A grin spread across Shen Wuyin's face.
“Interesting. Not bad for an opponent.”
The girl clicked her tongue.
“Focus.” She attacked again.
The strike narrowly missed Shen Wuyin by less than an inch.
He immediately countered. Silver spikes formed around his fingers.
Several spikes shot forward.
The girl reacted quickly, dodging the spikes as she moved across.
Just when she thought it was over, a silver spike pierced her neck.
Her body stiffened almost immediately.
Her eyes widened slightly, then they rolled upward while her knees buckled.
A moment later, she collapsed unconscious.
Shen Wuyin crotched beside her. He checked her pulse.
“She's alive.” He muttered.
Without wasting time, he lifted her onto his back and carried her home.
The moment he stepped through the door, Mei looked up.
Her brows immediately lifted. “Who is she?”
“She's injured.”
Shen Wuyin walked across the room and gently placed the unconscious girl on his mat.
Mei folded her arms. Her brows furrowed deeply.
“It hasn't even been a day since Aunt Ruoxi was taken away, and you're already bringing another one.”
Shen Wuyin stared at her blankly.
“What are you talking about?”
He turned around and headed back toward the woods to get herbs that would wake her up
As he disappeared among the trees, a man watched Shen Wuyin silently from the shadows.
His gaze never left Shen Wuyin's back.
“Shen Wuyin.” The man's eyes narrowed. “I'm certain that is him.”
A faint smile appeared on his face as he continued watching from afar.

“Father, please,” Chen Ruoxi pleaded, tears streaming down her cheeks.Mei, Qing, and Yun Li’s mother were dragged out of the house and forced to their knees before Chen Guowei.Ruoxi knelt beside him, gripping his leg as she pleaded, her voice cracking.“Please… let them go… please, Mother Wang Jun is terribly ill, please,” she cried.Chen Guowei kicked her aside, his foot slamming into her stomach.She crashed into a nearby shrub, her face twisting in pain.People gathered in large numbers, watching not with pity but with scorn and mockery.“At least now our clan will be cleansed of their bad luck,” one of the onlookers said.“Chen Ruoxi is so foolish. Why choose this worthless punk over Gu Yunfeng.” One of them interjected, scorn dripping from her tone.Beside Chen Guowei stood three well built men. Their faces were expressionless, their eyes dark and cold.Chen Guowei, Ruoxi’s father and a powerful weapon merchant in the Ashen Sky Clan, had always detested her association with Yun

Shen Wuyin arrived at the Tianji Hall. The moment he stepped in, Bai Xue rose to her feet, her brow furrowed, her nostrils flaring.“You scum,” she muttered through gritted teeth.“Nice to see you again,” Shen Wuyin scoffed, taking a step forward.Bai Xue hissed, her fingers curling into fists at her sides. Veins bulged from her neck as she moved toward Shen Wuyin.“Brat!!!” she snapped, stopping in front of him.Shen Wuyin tilted his head, amusement dancing in his gaze.“How dare you return here after lying about the Spirit Jade?” she yelled, saliva flew from her mouth and landing on Shen Wuyin’s cheek.He leaned back, his nose flaring with irritation.“Return to the dumpster you came from!” Bai Xue thundered, more saliva flying from her mouth.Shen Wuyin took a step back, a dark shadow crossing his pupils.“The only dumpster I know is your mouth,” he sneered. “This hall already reeks of rotten meat. Don’t intensify it.”Bai Xue’s eyes turned bloodshot. Her nails dug into her palms a

Thoom!!!Shen Wuyin vanished beneath the southern sea, sending a towering plume of water soaring into the air.His body continued sinking through the ocean's depths, descending farther into the deep. The moonlight above gradually faded from view.“I... can't die,” he muttered within his soul.The dark veins marring his skin thickened with every passing second, spreading across his body until not a single patch of skin remained visible.“The Guixin beast can't end me like this. Not when I finally have the chance to live again.”He struggled to move his arms and legs, desperately trying to swim back toward the surface, but his limbs remained stiff and unyielding,The poison had completely paralyzed his body.The harder he fought for control over his body, the deeper he sank.The Guixin Beast's poison corrupted mortal souls, reshaping them into grotesque beasts of every unimaginable kind..Although Shen Wuyin had reincarnated into a mortal body, his soul remained that of a God King.

CHAPTER 5
“The Guixin Beast.”The beast towered over Shen Wuyin. Its body was covered in dark violet scales that trembled with every breath it took.Its dragon eyes narrowed, locking onto him.A faint haze of memory surfaced in Shen Wuyin's mind.The Guixin Beast had once been an immortal being. Her defiance and conspiracy against an ancient goddess had condemned her to this monstrous form.Shen Wuyin studied it carefully."It awakened right after I completed the Spirit Jade Crystal summoning."His gaze fixed on its eyes."Then she must be the carrier of the spirit jade crystal."A brilliant green sparkle glimmered deep within its pupils.Smoke escaped its nostrils, carrying scorching heat.Shen Wuyin swiftly bent down and picked up a sharp stone shard.Pew!Several scales shot from the beast's body.They crossed the distance in an instant.Shen Wuyin channeled qi into his legs and darted aside.The scales buried themselves into the summit behind him.The beast's gaze never left him."It has to

“Tianji Hall. Every secret has a buyer.”The store sign shone brightly under the morning sun.A few steps into the store, two young men stepped into his path.“Didn’t you read the sign?” one of them said, his gaze dragging over Shen Wuyin’s worn sandals with open disgust. “Filth isn’t allowed in here.”Shen Wuyin barely acknowledged them. He turned to the reception counter.“Good day, miss. I have information on the location of an ancient hidden gem deposit.”The receptionist leaned forward. She adjusted her glasses, letting them sit low on her nose, then ran her eyes over him from head to toe.“This is Tianji Hall,” she said, lowering her gaze to his sandals. “False information is punishable by soul sealing. Though your soul isn’t worth the hassle.”Shen Wuyin shook his head slightly.“Elegance is all that matters to these mortals,” he muttered in his thoughts.“Ignore him, Miss Bai Xue. He must have crawled out of some homeless shelter,” one of the young men jeered.“What a waste of
