The seven disciples lunged toward Kai, their robes fluttering, fists wrapped in flickering qi. The air trembled as their combined force surged forward, slamming into him with the weight of a collapsing mountain. Dust exploded across the courtyard, shaking nearby walls, the ground cracking beneath the impact.

But when the smoke cleared, Kai was still standing exactly where he’d been, still calm, steady, and unbothered. His hands were still tucked loosely behind his back, his expression unreadabl

    Kai immediately looked toward the sky as though asking whatever power existed above him why his life kept turning in these directions. “Of course it does.”Emily stared at him while Abigail’s lips twitched again, but Zora continued before either of them could start teasing him. “Marriage is not the only recognized bond. Soul contracts, Dao partnerships and several ancient cultivation agreements would also work. But considering the relationship between the three of you, marriage is the simplest and most stable option.”Kai slowly lowered his gaze. “The three of us?”“Yes.”Emily folded her arms. “So now I’m supposed to marry him because some strange realm might otherwise decide to assign him another woman?”Zora raised a brow. “Would you prefer that?”Emily opened her mouth, paused, then closed it again.Kai immediately began fighting a smile.She noticed.“Don’t.”“I didn’t say anything.”“You were about to.”“I was breathing.”Abigail sighed quietly, while Zora shook her head at the

  • Chapter 765: Another World

    As everything finally settled and the wasteland began learning how to exist without war, Zora appeared again.As usual, there was no warning, one moment, Kai was standing beside Abigail and Emily near the remains of the old command area, watching workers dismantle another section of temporary housing. The next, space twisted a few steps away and Zora walked out of it as casually as though she had merely stepped through a doorway.Kai looked at her then he sighed.“No.”Zora stopped.“I haven’t even said anything.”“You appeared.”“And?” Zora raised her brows “You never appear when good things are about to happen.”Emily immediately laughed, Abigail, however, looked more carefully at Zora.There was something different about her expression.Normally, Zora arrived wearing that annoying look of someone who already knew exactly how much suffering Kai was about to endure and intended to enjoy every second of it. This time, however, the amusement was there only faintly. Beneath it was some

  • Chapter 764: After the Last War

    The war was finally over.For the first time in years, nobody woke expecting the portal to open.There was no emergency bell in the middle of the night, no injured cultivators being dragged toward the medical tents or formation masters running around shouting that another defensive node had collapsed. The portal itself was gone, leaving only scarred ground where it had once stood and an enormous silence that felt almost unnatural after so many years of noise.At first, nobody really knew what to do with that silence.Then someone suggested a feast and that was all it took.By evening, the wasteland looked completely different from the battlefield it had been only days earlier. Huge fires burned across the open ground, tables had been dragged out from every surviving camp, wine appeared from storage rings that people had apparently been hiding through the entire war, and several of the dead beasts were already being cleaned and roasted.Kai watched one enormous piece of beast meat turn

  • Chapter 763: Three Days at the Gate

    The time for the battle finally came.By then, nobody needed to be called twice. The remaining cultivators had already gathered across the wasteland in the formations assigned to them, weapons ready, pills distributed, damaged equipment replaced and every defensive array pushed to full strength. The internal chaos that had nearly torn them apart only a short while ago was gone, replaced by a tense silence as thousands of eyes remained fixed on the portal ahead. Even those who had survived several invasions could feel that this one was different. The distorted space around the portal had been growing more violent for hours, and now the sealed surface was twisting so badly that streaks of dark energy kept bursting across it like cracks in glass.Kai stood near the front with Abigail beside him, both completely calm compared to everyone around them. Emily, Elder Harkan, Allen, Elder Sophia and the Grand Elder were positioned farther back with the command groups, while Vivienne and Jian

  • Chapter 762: Through the Portal

    They returned to the house not long after leaving the assembly behind, and for the first time in hours, the wasteland outside felt almost strangely quiet. The rebellion had been cut out before it could spread any further, the remaining cultivators had been given clear orders, and everyone now understood that the next problem would not come from inside their own ranks. It would come through the portal. Kai barely had time to sit down before another set of footsteps approached, and moments later the Grand Elder, Elder Sophia, Allen, and Jian entered together.Jian was the first to properly look at Kai.His brows pulled together almost immediately.“So when exactly did you two come back?”Kai leaned into his chair with the relaxed expression of someone being asked about something completely unimportant. “A while ago.”Allen stared at him. “A while?”Kai nodded.The Grand Elder’s eyes narrowed. “You returned and didn’t tell anyone?”“Well…” Kai rubbed his chin, pretending to think about h

  • Chapter 761: One Last Battle

    The purge left the wasteland noticeably thinner.Entire sections that had been crowded only an hour earlier now had gaps running through them, with several camps already being dismantled as the people Kai had expelled gathered their belongings and prepared to leave. Some went quietly, too frightened to risk attracting his attention again, while others carried the bitter expressions of people who still believed their punishment had been unfair but possessed enough sense to keep those thoughts inside their heads. The dead were removed quickly, the wounded treated, and what remained of the alliance slowly reorganized itself around those who had chosen to stay loyal when it mattered.Emily watched all of it from the edge of the gathering.Kai stood nearby with his hands behind his back, looking almost bored now that the internal problem had finally been dealt with. Abigail was speaking with Elder Harkan a short distance away, while Vivienne stood farther off with several people from the d
