2025-06-19 09:45:05Lu Zheng’s benefactor failed to realize the reason Lu Zheng came back to exact revenge on his clan, when he was just a year present there, was for his mother.
His mother was a Handmaid of the clan, as well as the hidden concubine of the deceased Clan Head.
His mother was very proud of his son’s talent in martial arts, but he was hidden from the clan until he reached fifteen.
Only then did her mother agree to enter him into the clan.
He also badly wanted to enter the clan to meet his father, even from afar, and he succeeded.
However, there was nothing more rewarding for him to see his mother every day.
It was one of his desires why he worked hard to enter the clan, even when he finally was in the clan.
It was all to make his mother proud.
However, while he was on his first mission outside of the city, as inner disciples only had the privilege to accept the mission outside of the city, he received devastating news that his clan was slaughtered.
When he returned… all he saw was the endless and scorched corpses of his clan members.
He could not even determine which corpse belonged to his mother.
***
Lu Zheng lost his dagger, but it was reachable anyway.
However, he also lost his reasoning, for what only he had in mind was to kill the benefactor who betrayed him.
His heart ached when he recalled trusting his benefactor just in three days to the point he admired him.
Who would have thought it was nothing but just a fantasy?
He felt suffocated, tears crawling out of his eyes, pouring rain on the earth.
It was unacceptable.
Unbelievable.
Unknown to him, the rage continued to accumulate in his mind when new memories popped up.
It was also filled with betrayal, thirst for revenge, and hopeless vengeance.
Hence, not knowing where the energy came from, perhaps from the rush of adrenaline, even ignoring the poison running through his body, he leaped at the back of his benefactor like a predator brandishing his claw.
However, his benefactor smirked and casually slid to the side, making Lu Zheng pounce on nothing but the air.
“Do you still have that energy? I wonder where it came from?” His teasing voice echoed behind him.
Lu Zheng, who had lost his mind in extreme blood lust, roared in rage, knowing he failed, but he pounced at him again.
The benefactor’s lips curled up as he dodged it again.
Lu Zheng pounced once more, but his benefactor dodged it with ease.
It even reached the point where his benefactor was closing his eyes as he continued to elude his attacks.
Gradually, his benefactor felt it was not fun anymore and his mischievous face turned solemn.
He opened his eyes and gave Lu Zheng a ridiculous look.
Lu Zheng pounced at him again, aiming to swipe his benefactor’s face with his sharp claws.
“Where did you get the idea you could harm me?” His benefactor snorted, not aiming to dodge Lu Zheng’s attack.
“This?” His benefactor caught his wrist with his hand.
Lu Zheng roared.
Instead of trying to get his hand away from his benefactor’s grasp, he used the chance to attack him with his other claw at such a close distance.
“How about this?”
However, his benefactor caught it with ease.
Lu Zheng struggled.
He pointed to Lu Zheng’s crimson eyes, whose face distorted in anger as he growled at his benefactor.
“You really have lost your mind, huh?” He sneered.
Lu Zheng responded with a growl.
Suddenly, he tried to bite his benefactor, to which the latter backed away just in time.
However, due to their position, it was impossible to stop Lu Zheng’s bite.
So, he did not hesitate to raise his legs and kicked Lu Zheng away from him.
Lu Zheng flew backward.
Before he hit the wall, his benefactor suddenly appeared above and gave him a slap to his face.
He fell to the floor and stayed still.
He lost consciousness.
His benefactor landed gracefully on the ground beside the bloodied and disfigured face of Lu Zheng, looking down at him for a minute.
His face was solemn as he said, “Now, that’s better. Wait for your death as I feast on your clan’s meals.”
He finally beamed a smile.
He perceived Lu Zheng was still breathing, even hearing his heart palpitating.
But, with the poison on his body, it would only be a matter of time before Lu Zheng died.
So, he did not bother killing Lu Zheng with his own hand.
The treasure was more important than Lu Zheng's life.
Hence, without further ado, he began to saunter towards the opened wall, where treasures awaited him.
***
It was unknown how much time passed in Lu Zheng’s mind.
However, when he lost consciousness in rage, he was befuddled to discover he was standing in an eerie, bizarre place.
The place was filled with skeletons, even forming a mountain.
He scrutinized the place above and discovered it was all crimson.
When he looked below, his body trembled as his heart palpitated to see he was standing on the ocean of blood.
He stepped backward, and due to panic, he fell.
He unconsciously grabbed the surface of the ocean of blood to lessen the damage to his butt, but he panicked as he pulled his hand away from the viscous blood.
He glanced at his open palm and discovered it was dampened with blood.
He wiped it away by rubbing it onto his clothes.
“Is that the first time you have seen blood? Didn’t you just kill two people earlier?” An imposing, mysterious voice suddenly echoed from above, startling him.
He hurriedly searched for it, trying to determine where it came from.
He thought it must be coming from the sky, but he saw nothing but the crimson horizon.
“Where are you looking?”
When the voice echoed again, he finally guessed where it came from.
He glanced at the mountain of bones, sliding his vision below to upward, but only saw countless bones.
Lu Zheng had no choice but to ask, “W-Where are you?”
“Stop acting timid.” The voice snorted. “You were not like that seconds ago.”
This time, Lu Zheng knew where it came from.
It came from the peak of the mountain of bones.
But due to the distance, he could not see the face behind the voice.
He squinted his eyes to have a better look.
However, what he saw skipped his heart a beat.
There were two thin, crimson eyes staring at him as though seeing through his soul.
His mind wavered.
He felt like an insect being stared at intensely by a terrifying predator.

Baiyan
When Lu Zheng was actually about to call him, he felt lost.He had forgotten the most important thing.Naming him!He scratched his cheeks with his left hand after trying to do so with his right hand that was actually missing.He tilted his head sideways, contemplating deeply.The Whiteflame Cub was staring at him, a bit confused, waiting for his master to respond.At the same time, Lu Zheng went back to the dictionary he used to read back in the clan.In a minute, his eyes finally lit up.He glanced at the Whiteflame Cub and said, “Baiyan. Your name is Baiyan, which means White Flame. Do you like it?”The Whiteflame Cub, or better call it by its name Baiyan, roared in excitement.He nodded his head vigorously.He said through telepathy, “Thank you, Master! I am Baiyan. Baiyan!”Lu Zheng smiled and said, “That’s right, Baiyan. Your name is Baiyan.”Baiyan stood up and jumped out of his legs, circling around in the soil.He said, jumping from time to time, “I am Baiyan. I am Baiyan!”L
Pills Effeciency
When the sun was about to set, only then Lu Zheng felt his stamina return.Staying in the same position would have numbed his butt and legs, but with the Wave Breathing, it kept his blood flow as natural as he was moving.In the past two hours, Lu Zheng did not think of anything. He simply swung his right elbow from time to time, getting used to the absence of his right hand.At the same time, not only was his mind trying to get accustomed to the absence, but also his emotional state, too.It would be a lie if his mental and emotional state did not improve significantly for the past two hours.After all, accepting he was now crippled was difficult and it would take some time.Finally, before the sun was about to set, he glanced at it and pondered, “I deserve it, right? The beautiful sun sets.”Ravyn said, “You’re being philosophical now, huh? Doofus? Should I call you Confucius?”Lu Zheng frowned and shook his head.He did not even know who or what Ravyn meant.He went quiet but Ravyn
Whiteflame Cub Obtained!
The Whiteflame Cub enjoyed Lu Zheng’s patting.Lu Zheng suddenly stopped and the Whiteflame Cub stared at him weirdly.Lu Zheng was currently communicating with Ravyn.He asked, “So, what’s next?”Ravyn snorted. “Go and figure it out yourself.”Lu Zheng rolled his eyes and did not mind.Of course, he was a bit suspicious that Ravyn might really not know and just refused to answer it.Ravyn rolled his eyes and said, “Cursed me again and I won’t help you next time.”Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and focused on the Whiteflame Cub.The Whiteflame Cub suddenly raised its paws out of nowhere and conjured a Whiteflame Qi.Compared to the Whiteflame Qi covering the paws of the Whiteflame Lion, the Whiteflame Cub’s Whiteflame Qi was more gentler and welcoming.Lu Zheng even felt attracted towards it.That was then he realized something, stunning him.He thought, ‘Is it asking to form a Soul Pact with me?’Without hesitation, just following his intuition, he conjured a Water Qi straight from his mer
Cutting His Right Arm
Lu Zheng was stunned.He frowned.He was silent for a while.Until he finally asked Ravyn, “Are you serious?”Ravyn immediately replied, “Dead serious, doofus.”Lu Zheng was silent once again.He was deeply shaken.After all, even if he cut a single finger, it would have a huge impact on his overall strength..Now, to give up one of his arms?Ravyn was simply telling him to cripple himself.However, Ravyn said he was serious.So much that it was visible on his tone, he was not joking at all.Lu Zheng hesitated.He slowly became anxious and he was not even aware he was shaking.A second later, as he felt like suffocating and about to faint from overthinking, Ravyn sighed.It seemed to have cleared his mind.He said, “This is a problem, you’re having thoughts like those who were about to commit suicide. You are not running out of options.Do you really believe that Elder will not help you regrow your arm? If he possessed the same technique as that venomous woman, then at his current lev
Whiteflame Cub
Two seconds passed and Lu Zheng finally sliced through the touch muscle of her neck and was about to end her life by severing her neck completely when another roar shook his Partial Domain.He was surprised and cursed under his breath.He thought, ‘Damn it! I completely forgot about the cub. Who would have thought it would fight when it was just born?’Ravyn said, “End her life immediately, doofus. Don’t wait for the cub to realize it can fight and protect its mother.”Lu Zheng replied, “I’m trying to.”Lu Zheng then shifted his body and now stood above the vertical line, showing the devastation he caused on the Whiteflame Lion’s neck. He remained the Tsunami Stance but executed the first technique.The Tsunami Crush, the technique that relied the most on strength. However, with the Wave Surge, as he forcibly spent more Qi that could break his body, lessening the Wave Surge’s duration into a single second, his strength multiplied manyfold.Raising his sword upward, the Partial Domai
Ocean's Heart Fury
Now that he was closer to her, he was able to discern her appearance up close.She towered at nearly 3 meters at the shoulder, with a regal, broad chested frame.Her fur was silvery-white, shimmering with iridescent embers that glow brighter during combat or aggression.Her mane was composed of slow-burning white flames that move with unnatural grace, making her more intimidating, especially the thick concentrated Whiteflame Qi.Obviously, the Whiteflame Lion also has nine balls of Qi, the same as Lu Zheng. Her eyes glowed with molten gold, as though it was capable of seeing Qi flow and detecting deceit or cowardice.Her tail was long and narrow, and on its ends was a burning tuft that arcs with heat pulses.If Lu Zheng was to describe the Whiteflame Lion, she was simply too beautiful and graceful.Lu Zheng spotted a mini silhouette below her, but he was not given a chance to leave his gaze off of her.After all, once he went closer to her, her roar abruptly stopped. Her molten gold e
