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.

“Nan’er, don’t go near your father! His memories haven’t fully recovered yet!” Yuan Yin shouted in panic.However, the caregiver named Fei Yi suddenly changed her appearance into Wen Shi. Everyone was instantly shocked by this sight—especially Luo Xiang, who had already regained all of his past memories.“Shi’er… h-how can you be alive again?!”Pulling the sword out of her own chest, Wen Shi gave a faint smile and said softly,“My fate has always been cruel. My life was toyed with… This reality was never fair to me. Gege, I was resurrected by Chang Guan…”Her body then turned into black smoke and slowly dissipated.In the next moment, Luo Nan rushed forward and hugged his father tightly. He cried uncontrollably, and his sobs soon spread to Yuan Yin as well. She ran over and embraced her husband tightly.With his memories restored, deep regret surged within Luo Xiang’s heart. He had left Yuan Yin when she needed him the most. Even worse, he felt he had failed Luo Nan as a father.“Yin’

“I don’t remember what kind of relationship you have with me. I don’t even remember anything about myself. I only want to know one thing… wasn’t it you who gave energy to the Third Heavenly Judge? What exactly are your intentions?”Setting down his small cup, the masked man clapped his hands, clearly praising Luo Xiang’s words.“In short, it’s very simple. I want to restore your lost memories. Living without a clear identity—doesn’t that lead to endless loneliness?”“With such good intentions… you must also want something from me, right?”“Hahahaha! Nothing in this world is free. Sword God, my request is very simple… I only want you to appear and kill the Supreme Emperor during the Ranking Tournament.”The Sword God fell silent in deep thought. But suddenly, Long Hua Chen, his three brothers, and Yuan Yin emerged from the void.“Gege!”Swuuuuuush!“Do you want to interfere? Isn’t it true that, to avenge the hatred in your hearts, you all share the same plan as mine? Or will you all be

Just as he was about to leave to meet the person in question, thousands of Heavenly troops suddenly surrounded Yuan Yin and the Light Clan forces.“The Light Clan has allied with the power of the Main Gods to betray the Supreme Emperor… A decree of extermination has been issued. You are now surrounded. Surrender!”Yuan Yin smiled faintly and struck the ground with her palm. Instantly, a massive formation shaped like radiant swords emerged from every corner of the grand formation established by the Light Clan. All the swords were now poised to launch an attack against the thousands of Heavenly troops.“Wife of the Sword God… why do you still insist on rebelling?”“If you hadn’t impersonated the Sword God and schemed to overthrow the Supreme Emperor’s throne, we would never have acted!”“Now, surrender!”Rooooaaaaarh!Swuuuuuuuuuush! Swuuuuuuuush!The Dragon God—and the entire Dragon Clan army—suddenly appeared from multiple directions. Their arrival immediately put the Heavenly troops

“Th-this technique…”The Sky Judge’s body trembled. He was vaguely familiar with several of the Sword God’s techniques.The moment he realized that his opponent was the real Sword God, he immediately ordered several five-star True God–stage resurrection soldiers to destroy the barrier formation that was imprisoning them.However, thousands of swords had already shot forth, slicing their bodies into countless pieces. The outcome was completely unexpected.Slaaaaaaash! Slaaaaaaash!The thousands of swords controlled by the masked man grew even more frenzied. Every single resurrection soldier present was annihilated without leaving a trace.In the end, only the Third Sky Judge remained.Luo Xiang clearly intended to kill him. Yet suddenly, a wisp of black mist surged into the Sky Judge’s body. Instantly, his eyes turned blood-red.“Damn it… Who interfered?”Luo Xiang spread out his divine soul perception, trying to locate the entity that had released the black mist.Suddenly, the Sky Jud

“Then what should we do?”“Hua Chen, you search for and monitor the masked man’s movements… As for the others, continue carrying out the plan as arranged. Qin Yan, do your utmost to conceal my husband’s existence and identity. Do not let him be exploited by the Supreme Emperor’s faction…”“We have heard and accepted the Queen’s command!”*High above the sky, after concealing his aura, Luo Xiang was utterly shocked by the conversation he had just overheard. Everything sounded extremely reasonable—especially the implication that he himself seemed to have a deep connection with that group. Moreover, because of the golden sword that had pierced the ground, he could not approach them directly, at least not before obtaining solid proof of the truth.“I’m aware that I have no one by my side. The only clue I possess is a single letter left by the Enlightened Emperor… It’s better if I don’t reveal myself for now…”Swuuuuuuush!Using his spatial power once more, Luo Xiang arrived above the cen

“Report this matter to the Queen…”Swuuuuuuush!Long Hua Chen chased after the direction in which the golden sword had flown. As for Qin Yan, he also departed, but headed in a different direction.*Elsewhere, Luo Xiang saw Xue Xan Kong leave through a teleportation formation and immediately used his spatial power. He appeared right in front of the man, whose face instantly turned pale.“M-my lord… D-didn’t you say you would release me and my family?!”Without replying, Luo Xiang sensed the aura of a mysterious figure approaching his direction and swiftly struck Xue Xan Kong’s movement meridians. After that, he carried the immobilized man into a quiet forest.Releasing the seal, Luo Xiang said, “I don’t wish to kill anyone else… Now tell me, what exactly happened to the Sword God one year ago?”“W-who are you? How could you not know such a major event?”“Speak clearly. I don’t like beating around the bush!”Xue Xan Kong’s body trembled. Although the masked man’s tone sounded calm, he
