"J...I...N...Z...H...A...O...," Ronin enunciated each letter slowly, his resentment growing with every word he uttered.He vanished from his previous location, reappearing in Jin Zhao's room. "There are no traps; it seems he truly trusts his strength," Ronin thought inwardly. He surveyed the room, spotting a scorpion symbol. With a swift movement, he stood before the symbol on the wall, pressing it. A stone with the scorpion symbol receded, revealing a door that opened into a secret room.Cautiously, Ronin stepped inside, immediately sensing the presence of the sword. With a snap, the sword materialized in his hand. Upon leaving the secret room, the door closed automatically. Ronin teleported out of Jin Zhao's room and appeared beside Mei Ling."Mo...mo...mo...ther..."Startled by the trembling voice next to him, Ronin widened his eyes and turned towards Mei Ling."Mei… Ling…," Ronin reached out, gripping her shoulders and calling her name, but she remained frozen."Boy, she has experi

Meanwhile, in the depths of the First Hell..."Chen Mei, return to your cell," a resounding voice reverberated throughout the infernal hell."You scoundrel! I'm not your servant to heed your pitiful commands. If I choose to leave, not even your grandfather could prevent my departure," Chen Mei retorted, her visage contorted in anger."Presumptuous!" bellowed a subordinate of Yōumíng Wáng, hurtling towards Chen Mei."Before, I bowed my head to you and accepted your punishment as a means of repentance for failing to shield my master from your treacherous betrayal. I've atoned enough; now, it's time for me to resurrect my life from where it was cut short!" Chen Mei shouted, snapping her fingers. Yōumíng Wáng's subordinate transformed into a crimson mist, splattering across the faces of the demons below.Chen Mei vanished from the depths of hell, reappearing amidst the vast expanse of space. From there, she gazed upon a distant realm before vanishing once more, this time materializing with

"Do you truly believe you possess what it takes to acquire this treasure?" asked Tu Sha while summoning the weapon from his storage ring."Haha, why don't you let me show you if I have what it takes to acquire this treasure or not?" said He Gar, taking out his weapon from his storage ring.He Gar disappeared from his original position and reappeared behind Tu Sha, then used his Three-section staff to target vital points on his opponent's body."Hmph, paltry tricks. Let me show you what speed looks like," said Tu Sha before the Three-section staff hit his body. He disappeared from his spot, and his attack reached He Gar before he reappeared in front of him.He Gar defended against the incoming attack and took a few steps backward. "I never thought you made a breakthrough in your family's Black Lightning Step movement technique," he said, his face showing surprise."You also made a breakthrough in your sect's Green Viper Step movement technique," replied Tu Sha with a furrowed brow."But

He paused his thoughts, contemplating a few hours of rest before embarking on the new journey to the continent of the ocean. However, upon entering his room, he discovered the absence of Zhen Xia, Xu, and Sese. Ronin sighed and exited the room, proceeding to inquire with the inn's receptionist about their whereabouts."Madam mentioned they've all gone to the market," the inn receptionist conveyed respectfully."Thank you," Ronin acknowledged before hastening towards the inn's entrance and stepping out. He soon reached the vicinity of the inn's entrance.Then, he vanished, moving at an astonishing speed above the rooftops of the houses. After a few minutes, he arrived at the market and ventured inside. He began scanning the surroundings, determined to locate Zhen Xia and the other two.Walking for several minutes, he discerned a commotion and swiftly vanished from his spot, reappearing in the open space amidst the bustling crowd.Zhen Xia bore severe injuries, Xu lay unconscious, and
