2026-06-18 14:45:44Shen Wuyin opened the door.
Ten men stood outside, their robes swaying in the wind as they blocked the entrance. Their expressions cold.
One of them stepped forward and cracked his knuckles.
“Pay us what you owe our boss, the three days are over!” he yelled.
Shen Wuyin looked at him for a moment without saying a word, and then he reached into his robe, took out a coin 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 slammed the door shut.
Bang!
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 of the trees, casting patches of light across the forest floor.
Sweat covered Shen Wuyin's skin.
His chest rose and fell steadily.
He had just completed one thousand and fifty pushups.
His muscles burned yet 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, clutching its left arm.
“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.”
“You should save that pity for 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.” The masked person 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.
The mask fell completely.
Long hair cascaded down. Delicate features were revealed beneath it.
Shen Wuyin froze briefly.
“A girl?”
The young woman raised an eyebrow.
A grin spread across Shen Wuyin's face. “Interesting.”
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 shoulder.
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, hurriedly checking her pulse.
“She's still alive.” He muttered.
Without wasting time, he lifted her into his arms 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 three hours since Aunt Ruoxi was taken away, and you're already bringing another girl?.”
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.

Shen Wuyin dipped his head briefly. His mind rummaged through Yun Li’s memories searching for a possible connection Yun Li might have with the old man.But found none.The old man glanced at the dead bodies of the brothers briefly, before returning his gaze to Shen Wuyin.“Your combat skills are impressive.” The old man said, a small smile pressed on his lips.Shen Wuyin lifted a brow before tilting his head slightly.“Who are you?”“Oh, my bad.” The old man muttered. He took a step back, sun rays dazzled in his pupils. “I am Luo Yuyan, leader and founder of the Baiyun Sect.”A fragment of Yun Li’s memory flooded Shen Wuyin’s mind.The Baiyun Sect was one of the most formidable sects in the eastern region, acclaimed for their impeccable healing techniques and combat techniques. Unlike the Tiaxun Sect they weren’t feared, but their praises were sung like a mantra.Shen Wuyin stared at him for a few seconds. “What brings you to the Ashen Sky Clan?” He asked his voice firm.The old man's

The voice rang out behind him.Shen Wuyin paused mid-step."Please, someone go after them!" the woman's voice broke into a desperate plea.People stood along the street, their eyes locked on the wailing woman."Please... they stole all my savings." She choked out.Shen Wuyin stared past her. A shadow hopped away, hauling two bags in its hands.A small smile touched Shen Wuyin's lips."A hopping shadow," he muttered.The shadow bounced swiftly, imitating the agility of a Xuankong Kangaroo."Help me." The woman dropped to her knees, her hands folded in a plea.The onlookers murmured amongst themselves. Their gazes held nothing but compassion."The Shadow Thieves.""Thieves?" Shen Wuyin tilted his head slightly. "But I only see one shadow," he thought, his gaze remaining fixed on the disappearing figure."Last time Han Xiao tried to apprehend them, he got thrashed badly. He's still recovering.""Those thieves are something else. But at least they attack only the wealthy."Han Xiao was a

The young woman stirred, her lashes fluttering before her eyes snapped open. The moment they met Shen Wuyin's calm gaze, she lurched upright and shoved him aside.He staggered back a step.A sharp pain shot through her shoulder. She winced and looked down to find the wound tightly wrapped in a strip of bloodstained cloth."Where did you bring me?" she demanded, clutching her injured shoulder.Her gaze swept across the room."Cracked walls... an algae-covered ceiling..." she muttered, her face twisting with disgust.A faint smirk tugged at Shen Wuyin's lips."You were struck by my spike technique," he said. She glared at him."So you dragged me into this shithole without my permission?"Manners, Shen Wuyin thought.Without another word, he walked to the door, pulled it open, and stepped aside."You seem fully recovered," he said calmly. "Please excuse us and our shithole."The young woman stared at him for several seconds, studying him in silence."So he isn't the rookie I thought he

CHAPTER 8
“Father, please,” Chen Ruoxi’s voice broke into a plea. Tears streamed down her cheeks.Mei, Qing, and Yun Li’s mother were forcefully dragged out of the house and thrown to their knees before Chen Guowei, Ruoxi’s father.Yun Li’s mother winced as pain shot through her knees. She leaned backward, trembling as her vision began to blur.“Ma…” Mei gasped. She crawled behind her mother and wrapped her arms around her, supporting her with her little figure.Ruoxi knelt beside her father, gripping his leg as she pleaded, her voice cracking.“Please… let them go… please, Aunty Wang Jun is terribly ill, please,” she cried.Chen Guowei kicked her aside, slamming his foot into her stomach, hurling her into a nearby shrub.Ruoxi’s face twisted 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 the Li’s bad luck,” one of the onlookers said.Beside Chen Guowei stood three well-built men. Their faces were expressio
CHAPTER 7
Shen Wuyin arrived at the Tianji Hall. The moment he stepped in, Bai Xue rose to her feet, her brow furrowed, her nostrils flared.“You scum,” she muttered through her teeth.“Nice to see you again,” Shen Wuyin scoffed, taking a step forward.Bai Xue hissed, her fingers curled 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 landed on Shen Wuyin’s cheek.He leaned back, his nose flared with irritation.“Return to the dumpster you came from!” Bai Xue thundered, more saliva flew from her mouth.Shen Wuyin took a step back, a dark shadow crossing his pupils.“The only dumpster I know of 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 at her si
