Chen Xi's appearance piqued Zhou Yu's interest. The reason was simple: Chen Xi's abilities had already been proven to many. By now, he no longer needed to demonstrate his competence through achievements or governance. The prosperity of Mount Tai and Liu Bei's repeated victories spoke for themselves.
What intrigued Zhou Yu the most was that Chen Xi was only one year older than him. Zhou Yu was nineteen this year, and Chen Xi was twenty. Both were in their prime, and it was precise...

Although Lu Jun didn’t fully understand what his father was thinking, from his father’s expression, he knew that any thoughts of pursuing Cai Yan had been completely dismissed. It seemed that his son, Lu Xun, would not have the fortune to marry such a beauty.
“The Mi family then. When the time comes, you can discuss it with Mi Zizhong,” Lu Kang sighed. In his view, the Mi family was the most suitable in all aspects. It wouldn’t be seen as social climbing, nor would it d...

"Sun, take your uncle to play. I need to discuss some matters with your father," Lu Kang gestured to eleven-year-old Lu Xun. The more mature Lu Xun nodded and led Lu Ji away.
"Jun'er, my injuries have stabilized. As you mentioned, we need to find a new path. If the three major families of Jiangdong don’t come for us, we might as well abandon Jiangdong entirely. We can let go of those assets; if we lose them, so be it," Lu Kang said as he watched Lu Xun leave. Compared to his le...

“This situation feels odd. It seems like Sun Ce’s army isn’t concerned with our movements,” Gan Ning remarked after several distant encounters with Sun Ce’s forces.
“I don’t know either. Who knows what Zhou Gongjin is thinking? If he’s not targeting us, that’s better for us. Or perhaps he simply doesn’t want to engage in battle right now,” Chen Xi speculated, considering Gan Ning’s thoughts.
In truth, Chen Xi suspected that Zhou Yu was avoiding land ...

Zhou Yu watched as Pang Tong eagerly prepared for action. He didn't say anything to dissuade him, thinking that maintaining such enthusiasm was beneficial. After all, Zhou Yu needed someone with both drive and intelligence, like Pang Tong.
"Gongjin, I will join you when the time comes," Sun Ce said, placing his hand on Zhou Yu's shoulder, a fierce gleam in his eyes. "I will make Gan Xingba pay for Youping's injuries."
"Master, please allow me to accompany you into battle. T...

"The term 'Undying Monster' refers to Zhou Youping's incredibly tenacious vitality. He's nearly impossible to kill," Chen Xi explained with a shrug. "Unless you cut off his head on the spot, even if you leave him barely alive, the next time you see him, he'll be as lively as ever."
"You must be joking!" Gan Ning said incredulously, all the while using his internal energy to treat his injuries. "I've never heard of such a person."

Chen Xi frowned as he observed Sun Ce’s forces gradually organizing a counterattack, along with the reinforcements pouring out of Lujiang City.
"Xingba, finish off those two quickly!" Chen Xi ordered, while simultaneously gathering his own troops and shouting toward Gan Ning.
"Got it!" Gan Ning responded without turning his head. Although both Zhou Tai and Sun Ce were injured, Gan Ning knew that defeating them wouldn’t be as easy as just saying it, but he enjoyed challe...

"Can you make the unleashed cloud energy even more violent?" Gan Ning asked, quickly manipulating the cloud energy while glancing to the side.
"As long as you can control it!" Chen Xi replied with a smile. He then split his spiritual power in half, then into four parts, and then even more, intertwining the cloud energy with each thread of his spiritual power as they moved together.
"It's done!" Gan Ning shouted in surprise. He hadn’t expected Chen Xi to achieve this level...

There wasn't much danger in staying with Gan Ning, and it was clear that Gan Luo had been sent ahead in case Lujiang fell, and the Lu family couldn't make contact.
Gan Ning thought about it and decided not to say more. He immediately activated his internal energy and led his troops, with Che...

When Huang Gai and the other two generals arrived, they saw Zhou Tai decapitate a Sun family soldier. They were shocked and quickly held their weapons against Zhou Tai, who appeared ready to execute another soldier.
"General Zhou, what do you think you're doing?" Huang Gai shouted, barely containing his anger.
Zhou Tai, though visibly frustrated, restrained himself. "Generals, do you know what these men did? We're here to reclaim these lands, not destroy them. Our lord made...

Despite his age not being the youngest among those who had been tested before—like Mingyue Jian, who was only fourteen—age was one thing, but cultivation was another.
Li Hao's strength was well-known, and considering his numerous feats, many of the older generation couldn't help but sigh, lowering their heads in bitter smiles. Some couldn't believe that someone at sixteen had already reached heights they could only look up to.

In the sky, the golden light slowly split open, revealing a towering gate that seemed impossible to look at directly.
Around it, energy surged and spread like rippling waves in the air, exuding a mysterious aura.

"More than that. Beyond that gate lies the distant realm of the Saints, a truly brilliant and dazzling world."

"Recruiting disciples again..."
Emperor Yu frowned slightly. A thousand years ago, when the Immortal Gate recruited disciples, countless prodigies flocked to join, leading to the gradual decline of the Dayu Dynasty. He had agreed to it then because it was a rare opportunity, and he foresaw that when their ancestor's incense offerings were nearly complete, the dynasty might be targeted. He sent Jiang Ziyan and the royal family members to cultivate in the Immortal Gate, hoping they...

The taste of the Dao Comprehension Fruit was strangely fragrant, invigorating the mind and body, making Li Hao feel his consciousness become more active. After consuming it, his breathing became smoother, and his senses heightened.

Immediately, he immersed himself in thoughts of culinary Dao. As his thoughts deepened, he approached the gate un...

Princess Chu Yun flew for a long time, finally leaving the wild forest behind. In the distance, a city came into view.
“As long as I get into the city, where there are crowds and eyes everywhere, those who tried to assassinate me won’t dare to make another move!”
“In the city, no matter how carefully they act, they’ll leave some clues behind, and they’ll be found out.”
She thought to herself confidently.
However, the next moment, her body suddenl...

Amid the verdant mountains, two battered figures suddenly stumbled into a secluded and hidden valley.
"Ugh!"
As soon as they landed, Qin Zi spat out another mouthful of blood, falling to one knee, his face pale as a sheet.

The Chu Yun Princess stood nearby, unsure of what to do.
"It's just a minor internal injury. I just need some rest."
Qin Zi replied, struggling to his feet. He conjured a ball of fire in his right hand and pushed ...

"And what if I do kill you?" Lin San responded coldly.

The meat of a seventh-rank beast was incredibly nutritious and could replenish a significant amount of energy. The meat and bones of those two seventh-rank beasts were extremely valuable, but lingering there was far too dangerous. Lin San decided to forgo the idea of taking the beasts' carcasses with him. It would be foolish to risk everything for a small gain.
