God of Destruction Chapter 105: The Assault
Meanwhile, Zhi Hao moved steadily toward a small village at the foot of the Black Mountain. The village seemed ordinary from the outside, but information from the Hao Clan’s legacy revealed that it was merely a cover for a hidden cave, which was one of the main sources of power for the Fire Dragon Sect.That night, the village was silent. The lanterns hanging in a few houses provided dim lighting, casting moving shadows around. However, Zhi Hao was undisturbed. Utilizing his "Silent Thunder Step" technique, he sneaked past the village guards without making a sound.In the middle of the village, he spotted a small path that appeared ordinary. However, his instincts told him something was off. He activated his spiritual energy and scanned the area, detecting a protective formation hidden behind an illusion."They really are cautious," he muttered coldly. He pulled out a formation-destroying talisman from his spatial ring, placed it at the center of the formation, and activated it.Insta
God of Destruction Chapter 106: Back to the Zhi Clan
Amid the chaos, Zhi Hao stealthily infiltrated the main stronghold. Every step he took was filled with deadly silence. He didn’t waste time fighting weaker guards, but for those foolish enough to block his path, his blue sword moved with lightning speed, leaving bodies that collapsed without a sound.Finally, he reached the main hall. There, the leader of the Fire Dragon Sect, a large man with flaming red hair, stood waiting with a furious expression. His body was surrounded by an aura of fire that radiated extreme heat, causing the floor around him to melt.“Zhi Hao! So you're the mastermind behind all this destruction!” the leader shouted angrily, his voice echoing through the room. “How dare you come here and destroy everything? Do you think I will let you live?”Zhi Hao didn’t respond immediately. He raised his sword, which shimmered with blue light, and the surrounding thunderous aura pulsed, ready to explode at any moment. “You and your sect took my family. You burned the Hao Cl
God of Destruction Chapter 107: The Silent Return
Zhi Hao walked through the gates of the Zhi Clan with calm steps. The guards escorted him respectfully, but he waved them off, signaling them to return to their posts. His eyes were not drawn to the clan’s grandeur or the curious gazes of the young disciples who watched him. His focus was singular: his mother’s grave.The evening sky began to turn orange as Zhi Hao arrived at the family cemetery of the Zhi Clan, where ancestors and deceased family members were laid to rest. He paused momentarily at the small gate of the cemetery, gazing at the neatly arranged tombstones on the small hill.After taking a deep breath, he stepped inside. His feet carried him to a quiet corner, where a simple grave stood. The headstone was clean but appeared worn, indicating that not many had come to tend to it.Carved on the stone was the inscription:Mei Lan. A faithful wife, a loving mother.Zhi Hao’s eyes softened, a rare sight. He kneeled before the grave and placed a bundle of white flowers he had c
God of Destruction Chapter 108: The Marriage Proposal Plan
Zhi Hao stopped in front of the envoy. “I heard you're here with a marriage proposal. Get to the point; I don’t like small talk.”The envoy gave a thin smile, trying to hide his surprise at Zhi Hao's firm demeanor. “Indeed, Young Master. We, on behalf of Patriarch Ling, come with the intention of strengthening the bond between the Ling Clan and the Zhi Clan through marriage.”Zhi Hao stared at the envoy with a neutral expression. “Who am I expected to marry?”“Patriarch Ling’s eldest daughter, Miss Ling Mei. She is known for her intelligence and talent, and is highly respected within our clan,” the envoy answered proudly.Zhi Hao furrowed his brows. The name sounded unfamiliar to him. He had never heard much about Miss Ling Mei, but if she was the eldest daughter of the Patriarch, this marriage clearly had bigger motives.“And what does the Zhi Clan stand to gain from this marriage?” he asked coldly.The envoy smiled, as if he had been expecting this question. “Through this alliance,
God of Destruction Chapter 109: In the Shadows of the Ling Clan
The quiet of the night enveloped the Ling Clan's headquarters, with only the moonlight reflecting off the grand stone walls. Inside the main pavilion, the atmosphere was livelier. Black 1 stealthily crept towards one side of the building, approaching a half-open window. Inside, Patriarch Ling was sitting with five clan elders, their faces serious, indicating the discussion underway."This marriage is a golden opportunity for us," Patriarch Ling said in a low voice, full of authority. His sharp eyes swept across the table, ensuring every elder understood his point. "Zhi Hao is not just a genius, he is the key to our future power."One elder, an old man with gray hair and a long beard, nodded slightly. "But Patriarch, Zhi Hao is known to be difficult to control. If he doesn't agree with our terms, this plan could turn into a threat for us."Patriarch Ling smiled coldly. "We don’t need his consent directly. If he marries Ling Mei, we can slowly use that relationship to gain control. Ling
God of Destruction Chapter 110: Ling Mei: Trapped Between Obedience and Freedom
Zhi Hao sat casually, his gaze sweeping the room before finally settling on Patriarch Ling. “Let’s get to the point, Patriarch Ling. I don’t like wasting time with pleasantries.”Patriarch Ling was slightly taken aback by the direct tone, but quickly masked his discomfort with a thin smile. “Very well. We would like to propose a marriage between you and my daughter, Ling Mei. This marriage will not only strengthen our relationship but also bring great benefits to both clans.”Ling Mei lowered her head gracefully, appearing shy, but Zhi Hao, with his sharp observation, could see the tension in her face.Zhi Hao smiled faintly, his gaze cold and piercing. “Interesting. But what benefits will the Zhi Clan gain from this marriage?”The elders of the Ling Clan exchanged looks, but Patriarch Ling quickly responded, “Full support from the Ling Clan in any conflicts the Zhi Clan may face. Additionally, the Ling Clan has resources and networks that could strengthen your position.”Zhi Hao chuc
God of Destruction Chapter 111: Ling Mei's First Step
Ling Mei stood on the balcony of her pavilion, gazing at the starry night sky. Her mind was filled with images of her meeting with Zhi Hao. His sharp words, his cold demeanor yet full of power, and his calculating gaze made her feel both intimidated and captivated."I have to do this," she muttered to herself, trying to gather her courage. Patriarch Ling had entrusted her with the task of approaching Zhi Hao and ensuring the success of the alliance.The following day, Ling Mei began preparing her first step. With the help of her personal maid, she decided to send a private invitation to Zhi Hao, asking him to meet her in the bamboo garden at the edge of Linggau City. The place was quiet and beautiful, far from the bustle of the clan—a location she hoped would make their conversation more personal.The message was delivered by a messenger of the Ling Clan and was received directly by one of the Black. Zhi Hao, who was reviewing documents about the Ling Clan's weaponry at his residence,
God of Destruction Chapter 112: Web of Intrigue and Preparation
On the other side, at the Ling Clan's residence, Patriarch Ling stood in front of a large window, gazing out at the tranquil garden below. His eyes were vacant, yet his mind was filled with plans and concerns. The sky, tinged with red, seemed to reflect the pressure he was feeling.Ling Mei approached with light steps, but there was tension in her expression. She carried a cup of tea for her father and placed it on the small table beside him."How was your meeting with Zhi Hao?" Patriarch Ling asked without turning, his voice low yet full of attention.Ling Mei sat in the chair near him, adjusting the folds of her long skirt before answering. "He’s clever and hard to read. But I feel he hasn’t completely closed himself off from our approach."Patriarch Ling chuckled softly, but there was no humor in his tone. "Of course. A man like Zhi Hao won't be easily trapped. He plays at a different level, and that makes him dangerous."He took a sip from his teacup, then continued, "However, tim

Chapter 169: The Shadow Behind the Recruitment
Amidst the bustling disciple selection, Zhi Hao remained silent, his attention fixed on the sharp gaze he sensed from one of the buildings near the square.A bad feeling crept into his heart."Black 3, Black 4," he whispered softly. "Someone is watching us."Black 3 subtly lifted his head, pretending to observe the stage while quickly scanning the surroundings."The source is from the tall building on the western side," he said without moving his lips.Black 4 nodded. "I can sneak in and investigate," he offered quietly.Zhi Hao thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No need. We just need to stay alert. If they intend to make a move, they’ll reveal themselves sooner or later."Ling Xue, standing beside him, gazed toward the mentioned building. "Could it be the Red Cloud Sect?"Zhi Hao narrowed his eyes. "Maybe. But I won’t rule out the possibility that other parties are also starting to take an interest in us."Meanwhile, on a balcony of a tall building, a man in a gray robe s
Chapter 168: Recruitment of Disciples by the Great Sects
Black Dragon City was one of the largest cities on the borders of the Mainland. Its wide streets were filled with shops, restaurants, and merchants selling goods from all over the world. The buildings were far grander than those in the smaller towns Zhi Hao and his team had passed through, showcasing the advanced civilization of the Mainland.As they entered the city, they noticed a large crowd gathered in the main square. Banners bearing the symbols of famous sects fluttered in the air, and a grand stage had been erected in the center.Ling Xue narrowed her eyes. "It looks like there's a recruitment event for the great sects."Black 3 was intrigued. "Interesting. So this is how they find new talent?"Black 4 gazed sharply at the stage. "The great sects of the Mainland… If we want to survive here, we need to know who holds power."Zhi Hao remained silent, but his eyes observed every detail.On the stage, an elderly man in a blue robe with a white dragon emblem stood with his hands beh
Chapter 167: Towards the Mainland
Boom! An explosion rocked the sect as the rage of an old man who lost his son surged.The elders and core disciples of the sect stood in tense silence, not daring to utter a word.In the middle of the hall, an old man in a red robe with golden flame patterns stood, his face filled with fury. The Qi he released was so powerful that the air around him felt heavy and hot.He was Lei Zhang, the leader of the Red Cloud Sect—one of the most influential sects in the region.In his hand was a communication device that had just been used by his son, Lei Tian, now cracked and shattered.“Who dares do this…?” His voice was low, but full of terrifying rage.An elder cautiously stepped forward. “Master, based on the last message from Young Master, the perpetrator is a man named… Zhi Hao.”Lei Zhang’s eyes blazed with hatred. “Zhi Hao…”CRACK!The air trembled as Lei Zhang struck a stone pillar beside him. The pillar instantly cracked and crumbled into rubble.“Everyone… gather all the disciples an
Chapter 166: The Relentless Battle
In the cloudy sky, the once quiet New City was now transformed into a battlefield. Shadows of red-cloaked figures leapt between the rooftops, surrounding a single point—the inn where Zhi Hao and his team were staying.BOOM!The first explosion shook the building next door, sending dust and splintered wood flying. Screams of terrified people echoed throughout the city. The citizens ran in panic, while the city guards dared not approach.Amidst the chaos, Zhi Hao stood in front of the inn, his sword drawn. Black 3 and Black 4 were by his side, while Ling Xue had already climbed to the rooftop, surveying the situation.“Have they lost their minds? Attacking the city so openly?” muttered Black 3.Black 4 smirked. “If they want to die for nothing, I have no objections to helping.”Zhi Hao remained silent. His sharp gaze focused on the figure hovering in the air—a young man in a red cloak adorned with golden flame patterns. His expression was one of arrogance, and behind him stood more than
Chapter 165: Conflict in New Town
Zhi Hao and his team trudged through the dense forest, leaving Black Sky Mountain behind. The journey was silent, but the tension lingered. Ling Xue occasionally glanced back to ensure they weren’t being followed.“We’ll stop at New Town before deciding our next move,” Zhi Hao said after a while.Black 3 nodded. “Good. We also need time to prepare in case the Red Cloud Sect decides to strike.”After half a day’s travel, they finally reached New Town, a small trade hub bustling with activity. The streets were filled with merchants, buyers, and travelers. The lively hum of the marketplace was a stark contrast to the eerie silence of the forest they had just traversed.“We must stay vigilant,” Ling Xue said as she scanned the crowd. “A place like this is a haven for spies.”Zhi Hao nodded. “We’ll only stay briefly. Find an inn, gather supplies, and leave.”They entered a small inn at the edge of town. The owner, a friendly old man, greeted them warmly. After booking rooms, Zhi Hao laid o
Chapter 164: The Meeting in the Grand Hall
Zhi Hao and his team’s footsteps echoed along the long corridor leading to the Grand Hall of the Red Cloud Sect. The atmosphere was heavy, with the cold stone walls adorned with ancient carvings and dimly lit torches. Every corner of the corridor seemed to watch them, creating an invisible psychological pressure.Black 3 glanced around, his voice low but sharp. "This place is full of protective formations. One wrong move, and we’ll all be trapped."Zhi Hao kept walking calmly, his expression unchanged. "Exactly. We must stay composed. They're testing our resolve."Ling Xue, walking at the rear, clutched her cloak tightly. Her eyes scanned every detail around them. "If this meeting turns into a trap, I won’t let them lay a finger on the Solar Crystal," she said firmly.After several minutes, they reached a massive black wooden door adorned with carvings of red dragons. Two guards standing at the door silently pushed it open. As the door creaked, the hum of conversation within the hall
Chapter 163: An Invitation Cloaked in Threats
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of faint footsteps outside the cave. Ling Xue immediately stood, forming a seal with her hands. Zhi Hao gripped his Black Sword tightly, ready for a sudden attack.But what emerged from behind the curtain of roots wasn’t an enemy. A small bird with blue feathers and golden patterns on its wings flew inside, hovering in the air. The soft glow it emitted made the cave feel warmer.Ling Xue was startled. “That’s... a messenger bird from the Red Cloud Sect.”Zhi Hao eyed the bird with suspicion. “Have they finally tracked us down?”The bird floated in front of Zhi Hao and opened its beak, speaking in a whisper-like tone. “Zhi Hao, this is Young Master Lei from the Red Cloud Sect. I know you have the Solar Crystal. Come to Black Sky Mountain within three days. We can discuss cooperation. If you don’t…”The voice paused briefly, then turned cold and threatening. “...prepare to face the wrath of the entire sect.”The bird vanished as soon as it
Chapter 162: A Decision Amid Silence
Clang!Black 3’s sword clashed against the spear of his opponent, sparks flying from the impact. “Too slow!” he taunted, spinning and driving his knee into the enemy’s stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.On the other side, Black 4 charged forward, his fists colliding with his opponent’s shield in a thunderous blow.Bang!The force of the punch shattered the ground beneath them, forcing the enemy to stagger backward.Standing at the rear, Ling Xue’s expression was cold as ice. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a rain of ice spears that shot toward two of her enemies.Swish! Swish! Swish!The spears struck the ground, erupting into frozen explosions that froze everything within their reach. One of her enemies tried to escape, but a spear pierced his leg, rooting him in place.Meanwhile, Zhi Hao faced the woman with the purple sword.Clang!Clang!

Chapter 161: The Journey to Maturity
Black 3 and Black 4 had cornered their two opponents. With perfect coordination, they attacked simultaneously, creating pressure their enemies couldn’t withstand. One enemy fell after the combined strike of Black 3's "Shadow Strike" and Black 4's "Thunderous Blow" smashed into his chest.Ling Xue, supporting from the rear, saw the enemy's defenses weakening. She created an even larger ice spear and hurled it at the last enemy attempting to escape. The spear struck the ground in front of him, sending a wave of frost that froze him in place, rendering him immobile.Zhi Hao noticed the battle was nearly over. Gathering all his strength into his Black Sword, he unleashed a crescent-shaped dark energy slash that sped toward the enemy leader.The leader attempted to block the attack, but his spear couldn’t withstand the full power of the strike. The weapon snapped in two, and the energy wave slammed into his body, throwing him several meters backward.The leader staggered to his feet, his f
