The wind rustled through the ancient trees surrounding the Zhi Clan residence, carrying the scent of pine and the whispers of a thousand secrets. Inside, the air felt heavy with anticipation. Zhi Sao, the head of the family, sat in his study, his brow furrowed in worry. He had just received news that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

“Master, first Young master is back,” a voice announced, breaking the silence.

Zhi Sao's eyes widened. "How could he come back so quickly?" he asked, his voice filled with astonishment. "Does he look different? I mean, injured or disabled?"

"Absolutely not, sir," answered the messenger, a man named Dong. "The only apparent difference… he was very brave. Even hitting Xiao Lui, a member of the Xiao Clan."

Zhi Sao's eyebrows rose. "I don't know who Xiao Lui is, but I know that both disciples and descendants of the Xiao Clan have quite high cultivation. They would at least be in the Fighter Realm if they were the same age."

"That's right, sir,"

Looks like the Xiao Clan is making a move. What are they really thinking? Even though Xiao Lui is just an insignificant slave," he muttered, slightly dismissive.

Her eyes, which usually sparkled cheerfully, now radiated strong determination. He had seen for himself the cruelty of Zhi Sao, the leader of the Xiao Clan who had usurped the Patriarch's throne in a cruel way.“You calm down. I've already contacted someone in the Xiao Clan. Come with me to meet him.” Xiao Ming said.

The cold wind whispered, carrying a scent of mystery and threat."We meet again for the second time today," Xiao Ming said, his voice hoarse, full of enigma. "I rejected your cruel plan earlier. However, I have a new strategy. Would you be interested in hearing it, RenXiao?"Zhi RenXiao, who had always been known as a cunning and ambitious figure, sank into silence, letting the cold wind hit his face. "I'll give you a chance," he answered, his voice flat, "Tell me your plan."Xiao Ming, who was much older and full of experience, leaned in close and whispered as if the world wanted them to keep it a secret. “Well, this ploy will open a new curtain on our rivalry,” he whispered, his eyes sparkling with hidden plans.Zhi RenXiao, intrigued and stunned, finally nodded, “More enticing… I wi

"Did you know, it turns out that Zhi Hao is not Zhi Sao's biological son," whispered Zhi Lan in a deadly tone.Tension gripped the room. “Elder Lan, aren't you afraid that this is pure slander?” asked the Third Elder, Zhi Xing, his gaze piercing directly at Zhi Lan. “Why should I lie?” Zhi Lan said calmly. "I'm the only one who knows this secret, because when Zhi Sao married, that woman was already pregnant by another man!" Doubts abounded, but Third Elder remained unmoved. “I still find it hard to believe. however, if this is true, then Zhi Hao is not worthy of inheriting the Lightning Sword Technique, which is the pride of the Zhi Clan.”Meanwhile, the Fourth Elder is torn between loyalty and righteous

Because some of them don't know about this problem.Fifth Elder looked at the other elders who were silent. "It seems that I am the only one who doesn't know about this matter.""Now you know, Elder Ling. So I have the right to become the next Patriarch." Zhi Long answered confidently. He knew that Renxiao had spread information about him being the Patriarch's biological son, not an illicit son.Zhi Renxiao stood up, "Nephew, you are still young, it is not time to ascend the throne." he said.

"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.

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.

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

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.
