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

    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

    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

    In mere seconds, they moved like shadows. Black 5 attacked the guard on the left with swift precision, striking his neck and causing him to collapse without making a sound. He Lian fired an arrow at the guard on the right, dropping him to the ground.Zhi Hao darted into the center of the camp, his sword gleaming as he slashed at a guard attempting to resist. “Don’t let anyone escape!” he shouted.A few guards tried to flee, but Black 3 and Black 5 intercepted them with ease. Within moments, the camp fell silent, leaving only one trembling man encircled at the center.Zhi Hao approached the man, his sharp gaze piercing through him. “Who sent you? What are you planning here?”The man shook his head, his body trembling in fear. “I... I’m just a guard... I don’t know anything!”Black 5, already losing patience, kicked the man, sending him sprawling to the ground. “Do you think we’ll believe that nonsense? Speak up before I break your arms!”The man sobbed in terror. “Alright! Alright! I’l

    Amid the tense atmosphere at the Ling Clan’s residence, Ling Zhen decided to take a drastic step. Standing in the main hall, surrounded by the clan elders awaiting his orders with bated breath, he broke the silence. “The situation is spiraling out of control,” Ling Zhen said firmly. “We’ve lost control over key territories, and the Eastern Shadows are pressing us relentlessly. Zhi Hao and the Huai Clan can’t be underestimated either. The only way to secure the Ling Clan’s survival is to ally with the Grey Sky Sect.” The first elder nodded in agreement. “This is a wise move, Patriarch. The Grey Sky Sect wields immense power. With their protection, we can at least withstand the Shadows’ assault.” The third elder, a sharp-eyed man with graying hair, added, “But what price will they demand? The Grey Sky Sect never acts without a substantial benefit.” Ling Zhen sighed, his face hardening. “I’ve considered that. If we must cede some territory or resources, it’s a fair price to pay fo

    Zhi Hao left the grand hall of the Huai Clan with steady steps. Outside, He Lian waited with a serious expression.“What’s the result, Master?”Zhi Hao glanced at the imposing gates of the Huai Clan, his gaze sharp and calculated.“Huai Yan agreed to hold his ground and fortify their defenses. It’s enough for now. But this is just the beginning.”He Lian nodded and handed him a small scroll from his pocket.“This is the latest intel from Black 5. It seems the Grey Sky Sect has accelerated their weapon shipments. There’s a chance the Eastern Shadows are forcing them to move faster.”Zhi Hao unrolled the scroll and quickly absorbed the details. A cold smile formed on his lips.“If they’re rushing, it means they’re starting to feel cornered. Good. We’ll strike at their weakest point.”That night, Zhi Hao summoned his team for a secret meeting at a small cabin outside the Huai Clan’s territory.“Black 4,” he called.Black 4, sitting quietly in the corner, stood up straight.“Ready, Master

    The sound of clashing weapons echoed loudly as the burly man launched a ferocious attack against Zhi Hao. The room shook with every strike of the man's massive weapon, leaving cracks on the floor and walls. Zhi Hao, moving with incredible agility, continued to dodge."Fast, but that won't be enough!" the man roared, leaping forward in an attempt to crush Zhi Hao with a heavy swing.Zhi Hao calmly sidestepped, twisting his body gracefully. With a precise yet powerful motion, he slashed his sword across his opponent's shoulder, causing the man to stagger backward as blood flowed from the wound."Who are you, really?" Zhi Hao asked coldly.The man grinned despite his pain. "Just another pawn, like the rest. But my job is to make sure you don’t leave here alive."Elsewhere in the room, Black 4 and Black 5 were locked in battle with a group of masked men who seemed well-trained. The clanging of weapons and war cries filled the air."Master, we need to eliminate them quickly. This noise wil

    The sky began to redden as dawn broke, but exhaustion had yet to touch Zhi Hao and his team. They arrived at a remote hillside marked on the map, seemingly a secret rendezvous point for the Shadow Eastern organization.He Lian spread the map over a large stone, pointing at one of the symbols. “This point should be one of their small bases. But we don’t know how many people are inside or how tightly guarded it is.”Black 4 scrutinized the map closely. “If they know we took documents from the warehouse, they’ve likely increased their defenses here.”“Even better,” Zhi Hao replied emotionlessly. “We’ll keep them busy here while I infiltrate the interior.”“Master, it’s too risky for you to go in alone,” Black 5 protested.“I’m not asking for your permission,” Zhi Hao replied firmly. “Black 4, you and He Lian will create a diversion on the western side. Black 5, cover the eastern side. Don’t let anyone escape.”“Understood,” they responded in unison.Zhi Hao moved like a shadow, utilizing

    In the Ling Clan, Patriarch Ling furrowed his brows as he read Zhi Hao’s message. “Zhi Hao wants us to join him? How dare he threaten the Ling Clan!”An elder beside him tried to calm him down. “Patriarch, our situation is dire. The Eastern Shadows are pressing hard on our territory. If we don’t act, we might truly be destroyed.”Ling Yuan sighed deeply. “I dislike being coerced, but I won’t let the Ling Clan fall. Prepare an envoy. We’ll discuss terms with the Zhi Clan.”Meanwhile, in the Huai Clan, Patriarch Huai reacted differently. He chuckled softly after reading the message. “Zhi Hao is bold, but he’s not wrong.”One of the elders hesitated. “Patriarch, must we truly ally with them? The Huai Clan has its pride.”Huai Yan placed the letter on the table, his gaze serious. “Pride means nothing if we’re dead. Send a reply to Zhi Hao. Tell him the Huai Clan is willing to hear his offer. Let’s see how he plans to ensure our safety.”At the Zhi Clan’s stronghold, Zhi Hao sat in the mai

His eyes gleamed gold, his hair flowing wildly as raging energy surged around him.First Disciple, Ham Ra, narrowed his eyes. “So, you’ve truly taken over his body?”Qianlong stared at him sharply. “I had no choice. If I let you live any longer, this world will be destroyed sooner than it should be.”Ham Ra scoffed and raised his hands. Dense black energy enveloped his body, forming a shadowy armor that seemed fused with his soul.“I want to see if you’re still as strong as before, Qianlong Sword.”BOOM!Ham Ra shot forward with speed almost impossible to track.But—CLANK!His attack was stopped effortlessly by a single finger from Qianlong.Ham Ra's eyes widened. “What—?!”Before he could react, Qianlong had already moved.DUARRR!A golden energy wave exploded from his body, forcing Ham Ra back dozens of steps.Qianlong raised his

    Silence.Xuan Ji, Rin, and Tie Shan stood in a triangular formation, surrounding Zhi Hao from three directions. Even though they had just witnessed their Dark Hand Technique being shattered effortlessly, they were not fools who would retreat without a fight."Let's finish this together!" Xuan Ji shouted.Without hesitation, the three of them charged at once.BOOM!Tie Shan swung his giant sword from the front, creating a shockwave that shattered the ground around him.At the same time, Rin moved like a shadow, circling to Zhi Hao's left with incredible speed, her dagger aimed at his vital points.Meanwhile, Xuan Ji stayed at the back, forming a complex seal with his hands before unleashing the Deadly Shadow Technique—a dark energy attack capable of paralyzing an opponent instantly.Their coordination was flawless.There was no escape.But Zhi Hao simply stood still.Until—WHOOSH!In a fraction of a second before their attacks landed, Zhi Hao vanished.Tie Shan's eyes widened. “What—?

Yet, standing before them, Zhi Hao remained unmoved, his expression calm, as if completely unaffected.Tie Shan, impatient, stepped forward, swinging his massive sword into the ground with a thunderous boom. “I don’t care who you are! Tonight, I’ll show you true strength!”In an instant, he lunged forward, his speed defying his massive build. The colossal sword sliced through the air, sending a violent gust that shook the ground.BOOM!The attack struck the earth with devastating force, creating a massive crater.

    Black 4 dropped to one knee, his sword embedded in the ground as his only support. His breaths were ragged, wounds multiplying across his body. Blood dripped onto the earth, mixing with dust and scattered leaves.Around him, enemies still stood. Some were wounded, some had fallen, but those remaining still far outnumbered what he could handle in his current state.The man in the purple robe stepped forward, his face filled with satisfaction. “Enough. You’ve lasted longer than I expected. But this is the end.”He raised his hand, giving the final signal. Several men prepared to lunge, their weapons gleaming under the moonlight.Black 4 exhaled. Was this really the end?But before the attack could land—WHOOSH!A shadow streaked through the air. A flash of silver sliced through the darkness, and in an instant—SLASH!Two men fell silently, blood spraying from their wounds.The purple-robed man’s eyes widened. “What—?”The figure landed in front of Black 4, standing tall with an aura tha

    Explosions echoed through the forest. Trees trembled, leaves scattered, and the ground quaked from the overwhelming clash of energy.Black 4 stood amidst the swirling dust, his sword still vibrating from the force of his last attack. His breathing was slightly labored, but his eyes burned with determination. In front of him, the man in the purple robe remained standing, only having taken a slight step back.The man smirked. "You're strong. But... are you strong enough to survive alone?"Black 4 said nothing. He already knew the answer—because he truly was alone.Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Zhi Hao sat silently in his headquarters. Ling Xue and Black 3 stood nearby, awaiting his orders. One thing was clear—no allies were coming to their aid.Ling Xue sighed. "They're all just watching."Black 3 clenched his fists. "Cowards. They're waiting until one side weakens before deciding who to support."Zhi Hao closed his eyes briefly, then gave a faint smile. "It doesn't matter.

    Night descended with a tense silence. The air felt heavier than usual, as if carrying an ominous premonition lurking within the darkness.Standing on his balcony, Zhi Hao gazed at the dimly shining moon. His sharp eyes reflected the swirling thoughts in his mind.Black 3 appeared behind him, speaking in a low voice. "They've made their move."Zhi Hao nodded slowly. "As expected. After today's incident in the arena, they can no longer afford to wait."Black 3 handed him a small piece of paper. "A message from Ling Xue. She has traced the individuals targeting the Heaven-Shattering Codex. They’ve entered the city in small groups, scattering to avoid drawing attention."Zhi Hao read the message and then folded it back. "They're careful, but they've overlooked one thing."Black 3 raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"Elsewhere, in a secluded inn at the city's outskirts, a group of figures sat around a wooden table. The flickering lantern light cast shifting shadows on the walls.At the center

    The midday sky stretched vast, thin clouds drifting lazily, while below, the Zhi family’s training arena bustled with dozens of people practicing. Some engaged in sparring duels, while others focused on breathing techniques to enhance their energy.Yet, amidst the seemingly ordinary atmosphere, tension slowly crept in.In the main stands, Zhi Hao sat calmly, accompanied by Black 3 and several elders. He observed the ongoing duels with a neutral expression, but his mind was working swiftly.“Any movements?” he asked quietly.Black 3 nodded. “Ling Xue successfully thwarted their kidnapping attempt last night. Black 4 also reported an encounter with a group of assassins at the border before managing to escape.”Zhi Hao tapped his chair’s armrest with his fingers, his gaze sharp. “They’re getting bolder.”Before Black 3 could respond, a loud noise suddenly echoed from the center of the arena.Boom!The ground trembled as one of the disciples was sent flying, landing harshly after being st

    The sharp sound of swords slicing through the air echoed in the dark forest. The man in the purple robe felt a chilling presence as Black 4's blade neared his neck.However, just before the sword could strike, the robed man's body suddenly dissolved into shadows and vanished.Srak!Black 4’s blade sliced through nothing but empty air."Shadow techniques as well?!"Before he could react, a whisper came from behind him."You're fast, but I'm far more accustomed to the darkness."Black 4 immediately leaped forward, dodging a counterattack that nearly pierced his back. He twisted midair, landed on a tree trunk, and propelled himself back to the ground in a defensive stance.From within the shadows, the robed figure emerged once more, his eyes gleaming with intrigue."You're more interesting than I expected. I thought Shadow Fang only had ordinary assassins, but it seems I was mistaken."Black 4 remained silent, his eyes scanning for an opening.The man smirked. "Unfortunately, I don't hav

    Deep within the dark forest, Black 4 stood still, his sharp eyes scanning the hooded figures now surrounding him. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, glinting off the blade of his slowly unsheathed sword."You think you can stop me?" His voice was low but carried immense pressure.One of the hooded figures stepped forward. "You don’t have to struggle. Give us information about Zhi Hao, and we will spare your life."Black 4 smirked coldly. "You think I would betray the Young Master?"Without warning, he lunged forward, his sword slicing through the darkness. Srak! A sharp sound echoed as one of the hooded figures fell before they could react.The others immediately sprang into action, drawing their weapons. Some wielded daggers, while others unleashed energy attacks from a distance.Black 4 dodged nimbly, leaping back before twisting in mid-air. His sword danced, reflecting the moonlight as he swiftly took down another opponent.But just as he prepared for the next strike
