2025-06-29 11:51:44The two elders of the Wei clan fell silent. They exchanged glances before nodding in unison.
“Hahaha! If that’s what you wish, then we truly shall issue an open declaration of war!”
Baaam!
Wei Tian immediately detonated a small orb. Within seconds, smoke billowed out—clearly a diversion as both elders made their escape.
Swuush!
In just a few seconds, both of them vanished from sight. Seeing them flee without a trace, Luo Jin’s anger slightly subsided.
“Han Yu… If you hadn’t laid a hand on Luo Lan, perhaps I wouldn’t have asked for your life… But the truth is, you’ve done something you should never have… So, surrender your life… Or a massacre in the Han clan will be the price,” Luo Jin said coldly.
Knowing there was nothing he could do—especially with five elders from the Luo clan, all clearly stronger than him—Han Yu closed his eyes.
“Very well, I will—”
“Wait!” Luo Xiang interrupted Han Yu’s words.
Han Yu instantly turned his eyes toward Luo Xiang, a glimmer of hope flickering in them—perhaps he could calm Luo Jin’s fury.
“I have a battle agreement with Han Lu… If you accept it, then my grandfather won’t take your life!”
“Can your words be trusted?!” Han Yu was visibly shocked by Luo Xiang’s request.
Meanwhile, the five elders from the Luo clan, who had just arrived, were astonished by their young master’s cultivation. The presence of cultivation meant Luo Xiang’s dantian had been restored.
This puzzled them deeply. With the Luo clan’s resources, they couldn’t possibly afford a pill strong enough to heal a shattered dantian. So the question loomed: how had their young master recovered? This mystery weighed heavily on the minds of the five elders who knew Luo Xiang well.
“Of course they can… Right, Grandpa?”
Luo Jin gave a reluctant nod, his anger slightly quelled despite his son’s injury. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to his grandson’s request.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa… This matter started because of me, and I will end it with my own hands… Besides, I owe Han Lu something for what Han Yu did to me,” Luo Xiang spoke telepathically to his grandfather.
Luo Jin nodded again, reassured by Luo Xiang’s words. Han Yu, eager to preserve his life, quickly summoned Han Lu.
Fifteen minutes later.
Han Lu finally arrived at the Han clan’s martial training grounds. Unaware of the clan’s dire situation, he smiled gleefully upon seeing Luo Xiang.
“Are you here to get crippled again?” Han Lu mocked.
Instantly, Han Yu’s face turned pale at his son’s provocation.
“Damn brat…”
“Enough… Let’s begin. But I have one condition for this duel…”
“What is it?” Han Yu asked eagerly.
“The rule is… the winner lives, and the loser dies.”
This life-or-death wager drew a serious reaction from Luo Lan.
“Son, isn’t that too much?”
Luo Jin immediately used telepathy to explain the events Luo Xiang had gone through. After hearing this, Luo Lan finally trusted her son's resolve.
“Very well, I accept!”
Swuuush!
Luo Xiang stepped into the battle arena. Han Lu shot him a disdainful look.
“Come on, then!” Han Lu challenged.
A slight smile formed at the corner of Luo Xiang’s lips. Seeing Han Lu’s overconfidence, Luo Xiang quickly lunged forward, sword in hand. Han Lu’s eyes widened in shock at Luo Xiang’s speed.
Tiiiing!
Blocking the sword strike, Han Lu felt a numbing sensation surge through his entire body.
“Damn… I underestimated him…”
Swuuung!
Releasing his five-star Dao Core cultivation aura, Han Lu began counterattacking. But Luo Xiang easily read most of his moves, forcing them both to back off and create distance.
“Since when could trash like you fight evenly with me?!”
Without replying, Luo Xiang spun around and slashed toward Han Lu.
“Heaven-Splitting Slash!”
“Annihilation Blade!” Han Lu shouted in return.
Swuuuuush! Swuuush!
Two sword energies made of pure Qi clashed in midair. In mere seconds, an explosion burst forth with shockwaves radiating across the arena.
Booooms!
Dust clouded the field. As it cleared, Han Lu was seen coughing up blood, while Luo Xiang stood unmoved—clearly, he had the upper hand.
“…”
Everyone was stunned by the outcome of their technique exchange. Even Luo Lan couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Not only was her son’s dantian restored, but he could now fight on equal ground with an opponent five levels higher.
“Incredible!”
“If that incident hadn’t happened… I believe our young master could’ve competed with the greatest geniuses of the Empire…” said the Luo clan elders in awe.
Meanwhile, Han Yu clenched his jaw. With his current strength, there was nothing he could do to help his son.
“A-Am I really going to lose you…”
“I refuse to believe I could lose to you! Did you cheat?!” Han Lu denied the results of their first exchange.
“Those words suit you more… like a frog trapped in a well,” Luo Xiang sneered.
Han Lu’s face turned beet red with fury. In an outburst of rage, he charged again with another technique.
“Death Sword Steps!”
A thin smirk appeared again on Luo Xiang’s lips. With a contemptuous gaze, he began moving his sword.
“Phoenix Sword Dance!”
Swuuuush! Tiiing! Tiiiing!
The sound of clashing weapons echoed through the arena. From the beginning, it was clear—Luo Xiang’s attacks had the advantage in every way.
Like a phoenix gracefully dancing, Luo Xiang, who could have killed Han Lu with a single strike, instead toyed with him.
“Xianger is becoming more and more mysterious…” Luo Jin muttered.
“Did you teach him that sword style?”
Luo Jin shook his head, and the two elders exchanged glances. Neither had any idea where Luo Xiang learned such a refined sword technique.
“Then who taught him? Even a genius wouldn’t be able to wield a sword with such mastery so soon!” Luo Jin realized.
“Enough… We’ll ask him after this.”
Ten exchanges passed, and Han Lu finally understood. His seventeen years of training meant nothing in front of Luo Xiang, who had trained for just one month.
Finally bored of playing with Han Lu, Luo Xiang added a feint into his Phoenix Dance.
Slaaaash! Slaaaash!
The feint worked. Both of Han Lu’s arms were severed.
“Arghhh!” Han Lu screamed in agony as a pain he had never felt before wracked his body.
“The final move!”
Slaaaash!
After severing his arms, Luo Xiang sliced cleanly through Han Lu’s neck—killing him instantly.

The attacks came in relentless succession, yet Xian Si and Xian Su easily repelled the old man’s assaults with nothing more than a single hand.BOOOOM! BOOOOM!Continuous explosions echoed through the air. However, upon seeing the Poison God’s disciple lying powerless on the ground, one of the old men swiftly secured Luo Xiang and immediately exited the small world.After returning to the formation altar at the entrance and exit of the Heavenly Arts Pagoda, Luo Xiang spoke,“Elder, I was merely a tool used by the two of them. Please, do not involve me in this matter.”The elder nodded.“I know. They have already told us everything. Do you know who their allies were?”“Xian Si, Xian Su, Sky Qilin, and lastly—the Sword God.”“H-he was there as well?”“Elder, didn’t we say earlier that the Sword God had already injured us?!” Ling Chao reminded him.“Ah, right! How could I forget! Oh no, my brothers! All of you, stay here!”Swuuuuuuush!The elder vanished. Ling Chao then approached Luo Xi

Luo Xiang once again revealed his talent, causing all the manuals to react once more. This forced him to unleash the Heaven-Devouring Flame Essence again, shattering the sealing formations.*Outside the pagoda, fifteen great forces—composed of Main Gods and Heavenly Judges—halted their steps as they were about to leave the small world.Their movements stopped the moment they saw the Sword God standing at the teleportation gate, gripping a golden sword in his hand.“Where do you think you’re going?”They exchanged glances with one another.“O-Our Lord God, we have no grievances with you! Please allow us to leave this world!”“Sureee,” he replied lazily.Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. They immediately knelt down and expressed their gratitude. Unfortunately, the clone spoke again—and hurled the golden sword toward them!“Cut off your left arms as the price for leaving this world…”His voice turned icy cold.“W-what?!”Although they could regrow their arms, they hesitated. It fe

“Y-you’re right… I feel the same way! But it seems that his good intentions must hide some sinister plan against us!”“Hahahaha! Brother, just stay quiet! Once we break through, we’ll smash him to pieces!”On the other side, Luo Xiang remained silent, listening to a conversation that would never come true for him. How could a mere three-star True God Realm cultivator possibly injure him?“Enjoy yourselves inside those prison bars… Later, I will need you again!”Swoooooosh!His soul vanished, forcing Xian Su and Xian Si to refocus on themselves. Meanwhile, Luo Xiang had already regained full control of his body. He slowly raised his gaze toward the five-story pagoda standing before him.“It’s time to begin!”The three of them entered the pagoda together, while his body clone vanished without a trace. In the next instant, they appeared inside the pagoda, a space filled with thousands of technique manuals.All the manuals floated in the air, protected by layers of sealing formations. How

However, before the three of them left, he realized that the figure beside Luo Xiang was none other than the ruler of Yao Yan Forest.“Why did you bring him here?” he asked in confusion.“Tch! What does it have to do with you? I’m an ally of the Poison God faction, here to secure the young master’s safety. Or do you think his identity is nothing but empty boasting?”The five men exchanged glances. Realizing their mistake, they immediately lowered their heads.“With such a lofty identity, there is naturally no issue!”Swuuuuuush!The three descended from the sky. After that, they walked casually forward, even though every cultivator’s gaze was fixed firmly upon them.‘Your Majesty, bringing the ruler of Yao Yan Forest—was that truly a good choice?’Long Hua Chen felt uneasy and sent a telepathic message.‘Relax. I’ve prepared an extremely shocking plot twist. Once the plan unfolds, chaos is inevitable!’Following Luo Xiang’s lead, the three arrived at the center of an ancient altar. At

“D-Don’t just stand there talking!”BOOOOOOM!Blocking Long Hua Chen’s punch head-on, Xian Su was sent flying backward, smashing straight through a sect warship. He had never expected that the man standing beside Luo Xiang possessed strength on par with the Main Gods. At that moment, he was finally forced to restrain himself.“Why are you all just standing there?! Have you already resigned yourselves to death and accepted your fate?!”“Tccccchhh! How ridiculous! Watch how I summon the Poison God here!”Using telepathy, Xian Si instantly felt delighted. However, Luo Xiang sneered and pointed toward the golden barrier that sealed the area.“How foolish. Are you even aware that this barrier also contains spatial power? No matter how strong you are, sending out a distress signal within a spatial domain like this is completely useless. Don’t tell me you don’t even understand something so basic?”Xian Si’s and Xian Su’s faces instantly turned pale. They finally realized their mistake.At th

Feeling guilty, Yuan Yin could only lower her head.“Gege…”“Yiner, I’m not making an issue out of it. I was just surprised… so you don’t need to feel guilty!”Yuan Yin ran forward and hugged Luo Xiang tightly.“After all this vengeance is settled, I promise our child will live happily. In the future, I won’t care about our status anymore. Living happily is my goal after revenge…”“Alright, I understand, gege! You’re returning to the soul world again—does that mean there’s a problem?”“Not a problem. Tomorrow I’ll go to the Sky Knowledge Pagoda. There, I have a few plans to cause some trouble…”“Xianger, won’t this endanger your life?” Qing Tian said with slight disapproval. He knew very well how dangerous the God Realm was, especially considering that the Sword God was a wanted figure.“Father, don’t worry. I have two different identities…”“Gege, be careful!”Luo Xiang nodded, then left them and went to meet Long Hua Chen, who was currently cultivating at the Cultivation Pagoda.Aft
