Chapter 161: The First!

Puh—

The man coughed up blood, and in the next instant, his entire body was thrown off the lotus platform. He crashed heavily onto the ground.

“D-Damn it…”

Blood continued to trickle from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to get back on his feet, wiping the blood away with trembling hands. His face had already turned pale.

"Overestimating oneself," scoffed several Martial Master-level warriors who witnessed the scene. The first lotus platf...

Chapter 165: The Tianheng Tribe, Imperial Weapon

Qin Chuan and Qin Zi arrived at the stone gate and saw the crimson fragment circling outside, as if trying to enter but unable to.

"It seems something inside is calling to it," Qin Chuan remarked with a smile.

"Then please open the gate, Father!" Qin Zi said excitedly.

Qin Chuan shook his head. "I told you, this gate requires you to open it yourself. If you can’t, we’ll have to come back another time."

Qin Zi pouted. "Fine."

With that, he pressed his h...

Chapter 164: Return to the Mysterious Stone Cave

Qin Chuan walked along the stone paths of the Seven Martial Sect, taking in the familiar landscape of green hills and clear waters, feeling a slight sense of disappointment.

Sigh.

There was no one around to witness his display.

Why had he come back to the Seven Martial Sect? It wasn’t just for any serious purpose—he had come to show off. After all, the essence of showing off is doing it in front of people who know you.

The saying “riches unshared are like ...

Chapter 163: Did the Seven Martial Sect Flee?

Bai Yichen was in a state of indescribable shock.

Had the person before him truly become a Sovereign?

Their family had strived for over a thousand years, yet they couldn’t produce a single Sovereign. It was said that even the imperial clans of the Eastern Domain faced the same issue.

Throughout history, countless geniuses had been stuck at this very threshold, and now, the man standing before him had broken through?

How long had it been?

Less than three ...

Chapter 162: Qin Sovereign's Word is Law!

Qin Chuan's gaze sharpened suddenly, as though two beams of fire lit upon the sword before him, yet he found it impossible to see through its depths.

This was a Sovereign Sword.

Not just any sword, but a powerful one. Fully awakened, it exuded an overwhelming killing intent, its sharpness unparalleled.

Bai Yichen spoke in a low voice: "This is the ancestral treasure we’ve been seeking. Our branch came to the Jiuyang Dynasty over two thousand years ago, and a thousan...

Chapter 161: The Tragic Fall of the Jiuyang Imperial Family

A few days later, the events that took place on Shenxia Mountain spread across the Eastern Domain.

The entire domain was shaken.

The ruthless Qin Chuan had successfully overcome the terrifying Ninth Heaven Sovereign Tribulation, defying the heavens to become a Sovereign, and was rumored to be the reincarnation of an ancient titan!

The news was so shocking that it stirred people's blood, while others trembled in fear.

It felt as though an ancient beast had sudden...

Chapter 280: Urgency

At first, the local officials thought they had offended the prefectural authorities in some way, assuming that Prefect Tong was using this matter to cause trouble for them. However, when they saw Adviser Xue Chengfeng’s serious and thorough investigation, and considering Prefect Tong’s usual upright demeanor, they realized that something truly significant must have occurred.

Under the guidance of the local villagers, Xue Chengfeng’s team eventually located the mountain vill...

Chapter 279: Investigation

After some thought, Han Weishu decided it would be best to report the matter to the authorities. Her father was unreliable—who knew what kind of considerations and trade-offs he might make, turning a blind eye to the situation.

Watching the spirit ship disappear into the horizon, Han Weishu sent Qiuqiu after it, then began retracing her steps, planning to find the nearest government office to report the abduction. However, as she ran, she realized not all government officials were wil...

Chapter 278: Crossing the Border

By this time, the sky was beginning to brighten.

The captors were rushing, afraid that if they lingered until daylight, they might be discovered. They used tremendous force, dragging the bound villagers along, who had no choice but to follow, no matter how unwilling they were.

“What are you people doing? What’s the meaning of this?”

“Is there no law left in this world? How dare you come to our village and tie us up!”

“Let me go!”

The villager...

Chapter 277: Changes in the Mountain Village

While Shuishui Village was bustling with activity, Han Weishu and Tong Jialiang, who were traveling southeast from the southernmost part of Pusi Country, encountered some unexpected troubles on their journey.

To save money, the two mostly took smaller roads. These paths were often ones created between villages, which allowed them to bypass the need to constantly stop at county towns for rest, as they could instead stay in villages for a few coins. It was much cheaper than staying...

Chapter 276: The Experience

Due to Gu Yuxiao announcing the opening date earlier, Shuishui Village was particularly crowded today. On such an occasion, Ma Changlong was naturally present. These days, he would rush over at the mere hint of anything related to Lingxian Sect, fearing he might miss the chance when they started recruiting disciples.

However, Ma Changlong did not participate in the recruitment for waitstaff positions. His goal was clear: he only wanted to become a disciple of Lingxian Sect, not t...

Chapter 280: Guardians and Colonizers

"No!"

Rhett suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of shock.

He hadn’t expected that this simulation would contain such a wealth of information. As he suspected, the presence of the Blood God Patriarch couldn’t be overlooked at the Coldstream Front!

The mysterious disappearances of corpses, and the subsequent appearance of those who controlled blood energy, though lacking direct evidence, were undoubtedly connected to the Blood God Patriarch.

Even more impo...

Chapter 279: The Pinnacle of the World Is Not Far

Kurs glanced at Tadel and said, "That’s right, I’m definitely going this time. If Tadel falls to the orcs, I’ll be the one to carry his body back and bury him in his homeland."

"Enough with the bad omens! Can’t you wish me well for once?" Tadel shot Kurs a glare, then looked up at the clear blue sky and sighed, "Our lord really is a visionary. Far-sighted, even beyond the sky, for training our knights against orcs in advance. It’s greatly made up for the lack of battlef...

Chapter 278: The Cold Breakfast

"That's right," Rhett said. "So there's no need to worry. I have enough power to protect myself at the Coldstream Front, and I'll do my best to ensure the safety of those under my command."

He continued, "However, the battlefield is not a greenhouse; there is no such thing as absolute safety in the face of brutal life-and-death trials. We must face this storm head-on without fear. I believe that by crossing this harsh sea, the Green family will undergo an unprecedented transforma...

Chapter 277: The Impending Battle

"No need to be so formal. In Dark Hawk City, it’s difficult to buy property in good areas without connections. Given your status, you’re entitled to certain privileges. I’ll have Riley pick out a house near the blacksmith shop for you, so it’s easier for you to visit your father in the future."

Aldis, with his rugged exterior, paused at these words, his thick eyebrows twitching with emotion as he said, "Thank you, my lord!"

"We’re all on the same side, so there's ...

Chapter 276: The Blacksmith

Taylors' face showed a trace of anger. When he and White Hat found the bandits, dozens of people in the small village had already been killed, and the entire population of the village was barely over a hundred. The brutality of the bandits was evident.

Count Nilo drew in a sharp breath. He was confident that a marquis' territory would have the power to eliminate such bandits, but he also knew that it might not be done swiftly enough to prevent the loss of innocent lives. After al...

Chapter 370: Didn't Hear Clearly, Say It Again

Whether it was the Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect or the four elders from Shuangji Palace and Blood Spirit Valley who accompanied them, they were all deeply convinced by Lin Qian's capabilities. Their gazes towards him were now filled with respect, without the slightest hint of disdain.

They had already witnessed Lin Qian's innate talent and battle prowess firsthand, and there was nothing more to be said. However, what truly astonished them now was the power that the Huaxia Empi...

Chapter 369: The Terrifying Huaxia Empire's Army

Next to Zhou Yian, Fang Shuiwen and Yang Guixiang had already disappeared, soaring into the sky towards the Qin Dynasty's territory. They wanted to see for themselves what was happening, to understand the bizarre events that were unfolding.

Not just them, but representatives from other Southern Domain factions also flew into the sky, eager to witness the situation firsthand. But one thing was certain: this terrifying event was definitely connected to Lin Qian.

"Offend my Hu...

Chapter 368: Offend My Huaxia, Even If Far Away, You Will Be Punished

The mocking laughter of the Qin Dynasty's vanguard soldiers filled the air, echoing across the battlefield. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty regarded the opposing forces with nothing but scorn.

At this moment, the vanguard soldiers were relaxed, confident in their superior numbers and superior equipment compared to the three allied factions.

As soldiers of the Qin Dynasty’s vanguard, they had undergone rigorous training, regularly practicing both charge formations and clos...

Chapter 367: Just You

In the Linshui region, a group was moving cautiously. To avoid being detected by the Qin Dynasty's forces, everyone flew close to the ground towards their destination.

Their goal was the Yuanhe River in Shunshui Prefecture. Once they reached the river, they would submerge themselves and lie in wait for the Qin Dynasty's vanguard, planning to ambush them when they passed by.

This group was naturally led by the treacherous Eighth Elder, along with members of the three allied ...

Chapter 366: Three-Dimensional Tactical Map

"What? He's from the Qin Dynasty?" Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, Zhou Yian abruptly stood up from his chair, staring at Lin Qian in disbelief.

Not only him, but Fang Shuiwen and Yang Guixiang also looked at Lin Qian in shock, clearly not expecting such news.

Zhou Yian quickly asked, "Is this information accurate? Where did you get this from?"

"The information is absolutely accurate. As for the source, I'd rather not say," Lin Qian replied seriously, looking at Zhou Y...

Chapter 680: The Vanishing Spiritual Energy

"Alright, you'll take on Tian Feng," Chen Xi said, fixing his gaze on Guo Jia. "But if things don't go as expected, or if you can't figure him out, let me handle it. I'll take the risk of directly confronting Yuan Shao's elite to eliminate Tian Feng!"

"Agreed, but I am confident that my strategy won't be seen through," Guo Jia replied, nodding in agreement to Chen Xi's condition.

Chen Xi knew that this decision was somewhat reckless. The most prudent approach would have bee...

Chapter 679: I Will Face Him

In a secret letter, Cui Jun had included some speculations, but due to limited contact with Tian Feng, many of these could not be confirmed. Nevertheless, the information provided enough insight for Chen Xi and Guo Jia to be cautious. If they had encountered Tian Feng without any prior knowledge, they would have been severely disadvantaged.

Upon receiving this secret letter, Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that he hadn't attempted to directly scheme against Yuan Shao ...

Chapter 678: Tian Feng's Spiritual Gift

As Shen Pei left, he felt a deep sense of helplessness. The moment he stepped out of Changli, a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

"Sometimes wars are nothing more than the result of personal grievances that could have been resolved with a simple conversation. But because of the pride of those involved, who stand too high and hold too much power, and because of the countless lives at stake, something that could have been settled peacefully instead leads to one party's downfall,"...

Chapter 677: Final Evaluation

As Gongsun Zan stood there, his face full of indignation, Shen Pei found himself at a loss for words.

"It's that simple. I don't trust him," Gongsun Zan said, laying everything bare. It was as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and his expression returned to its usual calm as he looked at Shen Pei.

"Are you sure you won't reconsider?" Shen Pei sighed. He had considered many possibilities before coming here, but he had never anticipated that he would fail at...

Chapter 676: I Don't Trust Yuan Benchu

Shen Pei was momentarily stunned as he silently observed Gongsun Zan. He could feel the sincerity in Gongsun Zan's words, and because of this sincerity, Shen Pei realized that, despite Gongsun Zan's stubbornness, narrow-mindedness, and arrogance, there was a certain admirable quality in him.

"Perhaps Gongsun Zan indeed made countless mistakes, but as a frontier general, he has no reason to be ashamed before the people. His only mistake was choosing the wrong opponent; in terms of...

Chapter 675: Dare to Ask Your Ambition

Gongsun Zan, upon seeing the figure in black, once again found himself in a state of confusion. Even now, he still didn't know what he should do. He couldn't manage the thick-skinned strategies of a warlord, nor could he be deceitful. From a certain perspective, Gongsun Zan was simply a straightforward military commander.

Shen Pei stood calmly before Gongsun Zan, having disguised himself as an emissary from Liu Bei. The guards, including Tian Kai, had confirmed that Shen Pei was ...

Chapter 674: Shackles of the Heart

After the declaration was issued, many scholars praised Liu Yu for his benevolence. They admired that he bore no grudges against Gongsun Zan and even advised his subordinates and the Hu people, further enhancing Liu Yu’s already excellent reputation.

This brought great joy to Liu Yu, who valued his reputation above all else. His previous resentment toward Gongsun Zan began to dissipate as he focused on boosting his own prestige. When Liu Bei and Chen Xi learned of this, they we...

Chapter 673: The Troublesome Gongsun Zan

Lü Bu’s northern return began on a positive note. Upon receiving intelligence about Lü Bu’s move north, Shen Pei, who was stationed in Youbeiping, made a surprising decision.

After being driven out of southern Youzhou by Ju Yi and then blocked by Shen Pei, making it impossible to advance south from Youbeiping, Gongsun Zan had no choice but to occupy the Liaodong Commandery and station his troops in Changli, gathering forces in preparation to retake Youzhou.

Thanks to ...

Chapter 672: The Northern Return

With the addition of Cai Yang to their group, Li Dian felt much more at ease. Upon learning that it was Li Jin who had injured Lü Bu, Cai Yang was filled with admiration. Having witnessed Lü Bu's ferocity firsthand, Cai Yang knew just how formidable he was. Although Li Jin was now essentially incapacitated, the fact that he had forced Lü Bu to retreat was a testament to his immense strength.

Similarly, Li Jin was astonished to hear that Cai Yang had fought Lü Bu to a standsti...
