The dark, tiny wooden hut was cold and quiet. Outside, the heavy storm continued to rage. The rain beat against the thin straw roof like thousands of tiny drums. Cold wind blew through the wide cracks in the rotting wood walls.

Li Chen stood perfectly still in the center of the dark room. He closed his eyes and took a slow, deep breath. The air smelled of wet dirt and old wood.

For the first time in his life, he did not feel weak. He did not feel cold. The dark energy, the Qi—flowed smoothly th

    The grand ice palace of the Frozen Moon Peak was quiet. Outside, the snow fell gently, hiding the violent secrets of the night. Inside a deeply hidden room of the palace, Su Binglan stood with her hands crossed. This was her private armory. The room was beautiful. The walls were made of clear, shining blue ice. Resting on the walls were hundreds of incredible magical weapons. There were glowing silver swords, bright blue spears, and heavy golden axes. Every single weapon hummed with high-level Inner Sect magic. "If you are going to fight 8th Level assassins in the dark, you need a weapon," Su Binglan said. Her icy blue eyes looked at Li Chen. "Your bare hands are strong, but an 8th Level killer will not fight you fairly. They will use traps. They will use long-range attacks. Choose a weapon. Anything in this room is yours."Li Chen nodded. He walked slowly around the room. His heavy black boots clicked on the ice floor. His grey, metallic skin glowed faintly in the dim light. He re

    "It is an ancient, sealed dimension," Su Binglan explained, her voice echoing softly in the cold hall. "It opens once every ten years. The sky inside is always blood red. The land is filled with broken castles, ancient curses, and extremely powerful, mutated demonic beasts. The sect sends disciples inside to harvest rare magical herbs that only grow in the bloody soil."Li Chen crossed his massive arms. "And Elder Mo wants me to go inside.""Yes," she nodded. "It is a brilliant trap. The magic of the ruins is very strict. Only cultivators at the Qi Condensation Realm can enter. If a Foundation Establishment Elder tries to walk through the door, the ancient magic will rip them to pieces."She turned around to face him. "That means I cannot go with you, Li Chen," she said seriously. "I am at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The Sect Master cannot go. Elder Mo cannot go. Once you step through that dimensional door, you are completely alone. No magical messages can escape. No one can

    "You will surround Li Chen," Elder Mo commanded. "You will cut his arms and legs off. You will stab him through the heart. You will chop his head off and throw it into a pit of monsters. I do not care about his grey skin. I do not care about his dark magic. You are an 8th Level master of assassination. Do whatever it takes. Ensure he never, ever leaves that dimension.""It will be done, Master," Gui whispered. He bowed deeply, melting backward into the shadows of the office until he completely vanished. Elder Mo sat back in his comfortable chair. He let out a long, slow breath. His perfect plot was set. The boy would be forced into a sealed, dark cage with four highly trained killers. No one would hear him scream. No one would come to save him. The loose end would finally be cut, and Elder Mo’s righteous reputation would remain perfectly clean forever. High above the Discipline Hall, on the freezing, snowy peak of the Frozen Moon, Li Chen walked back into the grand ice palace. The

    "He must die," Elder Mo hissed, crushing the old yellow scroll in his fist. The paper turned to dust. "The boy must die immediately."But how? Elder Mo stopped pacing. He thought about the problem like a cold, calculating killer. He could not just walk up to the Frozen Moon Peak and murder Li Chen. First, the boy was incredibly strong. Elder Mo had felt the heavy, dark power when Li Chen caught his sword. The boy had easily crushed Zhao Feng. Killing him would cause a massive, noisy battle. Second, and more importantly, Li Chen was protected by Su Binglan. The Ice Empress was a monster. Her freezing magic was stronger than Elder Mo's power. If Elder Mo attacked her mountain, she would freeze him into an ice statue, just like she did to Elder Zhao. Furthermore, Su Binglan claimed Li Chen was the Sect Master's property. If Elder Mo killed the Sect Master's property, the Sect Master would melt Elder Mo into green slime. Elder Mo was trapped. He could not attack Li Chen on the mounta

    "This area is forbidden," Elder Mo said. He quickly reached out and snatched the yellow scroll off the table. He rolled it up tightly and hid it inside his wide white sleeve. "I will not kill you tonight, Li Chen," Elder Mo announced, playing the role of the strict, righteous judge. "Because you belong to the Ice Empress, I will show mercy. I will respect the Sect Master's favorite disciple. But if I ever catch you in my halls again, no token will save you. Get out."Elder Mo waved his left hand. The glowing red magical seal on the heavy wooden door instantly turned green. The door clicked and swung open. Li Chen stood perfectly still. He looked at Elder Mo. He memorized every single detail of the man’s face. He memorized the shape of his nose, the coldness of his eyes, and the sound of his breathing. "I will remember your mercy, Elder Mo," Li Chen whispered. The words were a deadly promise. Li Chen turned around. He walked out of the red room. He walked down the dark, creaky woo

    The red magical light in the Restricted Archives glowed like fresh blood. The heavy wooden door was locked. There was no way out. Li Chen stood in the narrow aisle between the tall bookshelves. He looked directly at Elder Mo. The man who had signed the paper for the cowardly poison. The man who had ordered the death of his family. "I am not looking for ghosts," Li Chen whispered. His voice was dark, heavy, and full of a terrible promise. "I am looking for the butcher."Elder Mo’s handsome, expressionless face did not change. He stood perfectly straight in his spotless white robes. The pure white sword in his hand hummed with high-level magical power. "You speak in riddles, boy," Elder Mo said smoothly. His voice was calm and strict, exactly like a teacher scolding a bad student. "You broke into the Restricted Archives. You are a thief. In the Azure Sword Sect, thieves lose their hands."Elder Mo did not waste any more time. He was a Foundation Establishment Elder. He was incredibly
