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
God of Destruction Chapter 113: Intrigue Behind the Shadows
The mysterious man unrolled another small scroll, revealing a document detailing secret transactions. The writing on the paper recorded the shipment of weapons and hidden agreements between the Grey Sky Sect and several small clans in the region. He grinned. "I got this from an informant in the black market. This is proof that the Grey Sky Sect has a contract to supply weapons to the Ling Clan and other clans. If this document reaches Zhi Hao, he'll definitely use it to expose the Ling Clan's betrayal."The younger man sitting across from him, still sharp but appearing less experienced, chuckled softly. "You're truly crafty. With this, Zhi Hao will shift his focus to destroying the Ling Clan while we remain in the shadows."The mysterious man nodded slowly, his eyes gleaming with the calculation of a well-thought-out plan. "And that’s just the beginning. If Zhi Hao and the Ling Clan destroy each other, we only need to wait for the right moment to swoop in and take what's left."The yo
God of Destruction Bab 114: Moves in the Shadows
The following day, Linggau City was shrouded in an invisible tension. Rumors of a potential conflict between the Ling Clan and the Huai Clan spread quickly, leaving merchants and ordinary citizens anxious about their safety. Behind the scenes, Zhi Hao continued to maneuver his pieces, unseen by anyone.In a secluded tea house at the edge of the city, Black 1 sat at one of the tables, conversing with a nervous informant."The Huai Clan has started deploying small forces along the border. They're preparing for something, but Patriarch Ling doesn't seem fully aware of it yet," the informant said in a low voice.Black 1 gave a slight nod. "Keep watching. Make sure we know their every move. Zhi Hao wants this information on time."The informant hurried away, leaving Black 1, who soon melted into the bustling market crowd. He knew Zhi Hao's next steps would be pivotal.Meanwhile, at the Ling Clan residence, Patriarch Ling felt pressure mounting from all sides. Reports about the Huai Clan's
God of Destruction Chapter 115: Shadows Behind the Chaos
The dark night enveloped Linggau City. In a luxurious inn on the outskirts, the mysterious man sat in a dimly lit room. Several documents were scattered on the table before him. He gazed at them calmly, lifting his teacup and taking a sip.A plain-looking man entered the room quietly and bowed respectfully. "Everything is going according to plan, sir. Zhi Hao continues to pressure the Ling and Huai Clans. Tensions between them are escalating."The mysterious man placed his cup down and nodded slowly. "Good. Has the document reached Zhi Hao?"The man nodded. "Yes, sir. An anonymous courier managed to slip it into one of his frequent haunts. He must have read it by now."The mysterious man smirked, his eyes gleaming coldly. "Zhi Hao will see it as a golden opportunity. He’ll use the document to humiliate the Ling Clan and possibly provoke direct conflict with the Gray Sky Sect. In the process, he’ll expend considerable resources and energy.""And if he succeeds?" the man asked cautiousl
God of Destruction Chapter 116: The Hunt Begins
That night, Zhi Hao prepared his next move. Calm and composed, he stood in a dimly lit room at his temporary base, illuminated only by the faint glow of a small lantern. Before him lay a map of Linggau City, marked with strategic annotations.Black 5 returned from his reconnaissance, bowing respectfully before speaking. "Master, the hooded man appears to have connections with the shadow group from the West. They’ve been using the teahouse on the city outskirts as a temporary meeting place, but their movements are swift and difficult to track."Zhi Hao didn’t respond immediately, his sharp gaze fixed on the map. "How many people did you see?""At least seven, including the hooded man. Four looked like seasoned mercenaries, while the other two seemed to be intermediaries or messengers."Zhi Hao nodded slowly, then shifted his gaze to a burly man standing in the corner—He Lian, one of his combat commanders. "He Lian, assemble the team. We begin the operation tonight."He Lian grinned bro
God of Destruction Chapter 117: The Hunt for the Eastern Shadow
The man in the black hood lay sprawled on the floor of the cave, his body trembling from the agony he had just endured. Black 5 stood beside him, twirling a small silver needle between his fingers, a cold smirk on his face.“You thought you could toy with my master and walk away unscathed?” Black 5 said in a low, menacing voice. He crouched down, slowly pressing the needle into the man’s shoulder, sending sharp pain coursing through his body.“Aaagh!” the hooded man screamed, his body arching in agony.Black 4 stood nearby, arms crossed, his expression unyielding. “You’ll talk eventually. We’ve got plenty of time. But for you, every second will feel like an eternity.”Zhi Hao stood a short distance away, his piercing gaze fixed on the man. He raised his hand slightly, signaling Black 5 to continue.Black 5 chuckled darkly. “You know this is just the beginning, right?” He pressed the needle into the man’s knee this time, twisting it slowly. “This pain won’t kill you, but you’ll wish it

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! Clang!The woman launched a flurry of rapid strikes, each swing of her blade laced with a violet energy that made the air hum
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
Chapter 160: The Beginning of a New Journey
The morning breeze gently brushed Zhi Hao’s face, carrying the fresh scent of dew—a gift after a long and grueling journey. They had emerged from the Tomb of the Dragon and Phoenix, but the sense of relief lasted only a moment. Zhi Hao knew their struggles were far from over.The Solar Crystal in his grasp radiated a peculiar warmth, as if it were alive. Its aura felt like waves of power constantly flowing into his body. Ling Xue and the others stared at it with mixed expressions—admiration, weariness, and curiosity mingled in their gazes.“You know this will bring trouble, don’t you?” Ling Xue’s soft but concerned voice broke the silence.Zhi Hao nodded without hesitation. “I know. But this isn’t something we can just ignore. It’s far too valuable to fall into the wrong hands.”Black 3 stepped closer, scanning their surroundings. “I doubt this is over. If Young Master Huai made it out alive, he’ll surely come after us.”“He’ll make it out,” Black 4 said flatly. “People like him have
Chapter 159: The Final Trial and the Way Out
The Dragon and Phoenix Palace stood majestically before them. Its grandeur was awe-inspiring, but the heavy aura emanating from within reminded Zhi Hao and his group that this was no ordinary palace. An ancient power resided here, waiting to test them.As they stepped inside, the grand main hall greeted them. At its center stood a massive altar, glowing with a dazzling golden light. Atop the altar rested a large golden crystal, radiating a searing heat that enveloped the entire room.“The Solar Crystal,” Ling Xue whispered, her eyes sparkling with awe. “This must be the core of this Tomb.”Black 3 stepped forward, but Zhi Hao quickly raised a hand to stop him. “Don’t act recklessly. This place is undoubtedly protected.”Qianlong’s voice echoed in his mind. “Indeed. The Solar Crystal is an artifact of immense power. Approaching it without completing the final trial will only bring destruction.”As if in response to this warning, the walls around them began to glow. The images of dragon
