2025-04-03 10:00:33Last night, after meeting his deceased family, Li Jie recalled two major events that Setya Dewananta had once mentioned would happen soon. He suspected that these two significant events were Mei Lian's inability to bear a child and her tragic murder.
Upon arriving at the palace, Li Jie noticed several people already wearing white sashes, including Emperor Li Wei and Song Rui.
The ruler of the Shang Dynasty immediately handed a white cloth he carried to Li Jie. "Change your clothes with this, my grandson. This is the palace’s way of honoring those who have passed away. White symbolizes purity, and we believe your wife has returned in a pure state."
Li Jie nodded, took the white cloth, and went into his chamber to change. Afterward, he emerged to begin the burial process for Mei Lian.
After a few monks finished reciting prayers, four soldiers stepped forward to lift Mei Lian’s body, but Li Jie quickly stopped them.

With arrogance and pride, he walked toward Li Jie. Without warning, the soldier immediately launched his strike as soon as he was within range."Akkkh!" A sharp cry of pain rang out.The soldier was thrown back without knowing what had happened. Suddenly, he collapsed after feeling a powerful impact strike his leg.Seeing their comrade fall and crash hard, dozens of other soldiers jumped off their horses and surrounded Li Jie. Swords and spears were already drawn, gripped firmly in their hands.Li Jie channeled his energy into the thumb-thick branch he held. "Ah, this makes it much easier for me to deal with you all. I won’t kill you, just teach you a lesson on how an elite soldier should act—not just in name, but in conduct as well!""Hahaha...! You plan to fight us with that twig? It seems your brain has truly shifted out of place," scoffed one soldier, prompting laughter from his comrades.Li Jie smirked. "If you can break thi

"Wake up, all of you!" Prince Liu Eng barked.The forty royal special forces soldiers of the Song Dynasty were stunned, both fearful and bewildered, as they witnessed Prince Liu Eng showing such deep respect toward the young man. Not only did he address him as a prince, but they also noticed that Prince Liu Eng did not even dare to look directly at the young man's face.It was understandable that they were unaware of Li Jie. They rarely left their barracks unless a critical situation required them to do so."Apologize to Prince Li Jie! You have made a grave mistake!"Thud!The soldiers' hearts pounded furiously. No wonder this young man had been able to defeat them so effortlessly. Aside from holding the position of Grand Commander, he was also the future ruler of the Shang Dynasty."No need to apologize! They already know what they must do," Li Jie said calmly. He cast a sharp gaze upon the forty special forces soldiers."Forgive us,
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Black Peak Sect
Li Jie fell silent. Emperor Liu Zun's words reminded the young man of Song Rui's message, instructing him to protect Mei Lian. He was traumatized and afraid that the same tragedy would befall Princess Mei Shin if he agreed.Li Jie did not answer. He simply smiled as if he had already agreed."You may go with him, Princess. But remember, mind your manners and do not attract unnecessary attention!""Yes, Father," Princess Mei Shin replied cheerfully.Li Jie and the beautiful young woman walked out of the palace together. As they strolled through the capital, the eyes of the townspeople remained fixed on them. They knew that the beautiful woman accompanying the young man was Emperor Liu Zun's daughter, but why would such a noble princess willingly and unashamedly walk with a man dressed in ragged clothes? Despite his handsome face, it was improper for a princess to be seen walking beside such a man."Look at their stares, Princess! Are y
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Terror
The slash of Li Jie’s claw instantly sliced through the neck of the man in black, swiftly ending his life.The agonized scream escaping the dying man’s lips immediately caught the attention of his comrades. A dozen men dressed in black turned toward Li Jie, their gazes meeting his cold, piercing eyes.Seeing the young man’s blood-soaked hands, they instantly deduced that he was the one who had killed their companion.“Bastard! He killed our brother...! Kill him!” shouted a man whose right eye was covered with a cloth.He seemed to be the leader of the group.Li Jie’s sharp gaze fell on the left chest of the man he had just killed. There, a symbol was embroidered—a mountain peak with a black scorpion perched atop it.“A fortunate turn of events!” he thought. He hadn’t expected to encounter members of the very sect he was seeking in this village.The dozen black-c
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR "The Battle at the Foot of Mount Lawu"
Li Jie swiftly dodged the initial attack aimed at him. The young man pulled his body to the side and launched a quick counterattack. His leg swept toward the man’s stomach, but it only hit empty space. The one-eyed man managed to avoid Li Jie's kick by leaping three steps back."Do you want to fight inside this cave or outside so you can escape again?" Li Jie mocked."Curse you! I won’t run away!" the man shouted angrily as he attacked Li Jie again. This time, his attacks were faster and more relentless without pause. Yet again, Li Jie effortlessly dodged each strike directed at him.The slight smile curling on Li Jie's lips made the one-eyed man feel utterly belittled. His emotions flared, fueling his desire to kill the young man before him.With careful calculation, Li Jie lured his opponent outside the cave. He was worried that their battle might collapse the cave and block the path to the peak."Hahaha... So this is all you've got, bastard!" the man felt victorious, thinking he had
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR The Heretic Grandmaster
A man, appearing to be around 30 years old, sat on an opulent chair within the hall, furrowing his brow upon hearing the explosion. This man was the Heretic Grandmaster, the leader of the Black Kala Peak Sect.Although he appeared youthful, in reality, he was over 100 years old. Thanks to his martial arts prowess, he could make his physical appearance much younger than his actual age.With decades of experience in the harsh martial arts world, the Heretic Grandmaster understood that the explosion was the result of a battle. However, he was puzzled—who could be fighting in his domain?The youthful-looking elder then ordered two of his subordinates to investigate the cause of the explosion and identify the combatants."Hao Wen, Sin Lao, go down and find out what caused that explosion.""Understood, Grandmaster. We will depart immediately," replied Hao Wen, a tall, thin man with curly hair. Beside him, Sin Lao had a short but muscular build and a bald head.Both bowed respectfully before

"This is my uniform, Elder." Li Jie extended the uniform forward."That's indeed our sect's uniform," Hao Wen whispered to Sin Lao.The short, stocky man with a bald head still couldn't fully trust the young man before him. His instincts told him something was amiss."Then why did you extinguish your torch earlier!?"Li Jie was at a loss for words. Besides not carrying a torch, he had no other alibi to deceive them."You ask too many questions, Sin Lao! Perhaps his torch ran out of oil and went out. The important thing is he has shown proof of his uniform. Let's hurry down. We need to find out the source of that explosion!""Alright..." replied Sin Lao. "Take this torch!" The bald man handed his torch to Li Jie.The two of them quickly departed, leaving Li Jie to finally breathe a sigh of relief.The young man promptly donned the Black Peak Sect uniform. He didn't want to arouse further suspicion if he enco
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Infiltrate 2
In his view, Li Jie could see that the arrangement within the sect complex was very orderly. A spacious training ground for sect members was also equipped with various tools to enhance physical fitness and stamina. Further inside, rows of wooden barracks served as sleeping quarters for the members."Put the wood you're carrying over there, Li Jie! Don't forget to arrange it neatly. Our leader really likes tidiness. I'll take this wood to the kitchen for cooking preparations later this afternoon." Yung Min pointed to a spot designated for collecting firewood.The young man, who was the same age as Li Jie, then carried the firewood on his shoulders into the kitchen.After that, Yung Min returned to meet Li Jie."Which barrack are you sleeping in?""Yesterday, before going home to get clothes, I slept in that barrack." Li Jie randomly pointed to a barrack.Yung Min furrowed his brow. "Isn't that the barrack for senior students?""I didn'

Apology
Liu Zixuan sat in silence, her head bowed. Her tears began to flow again as she listened to Li Jie’s words. She could no longer count how many hearts she had hurt with her terrible behavior.“How long can a person live in this world? Will they live forever?”Liu Zixuan slowly shook her head.“If you’ve come to your senses, then change your attitude and behavior. And now, I’ll take you home,” Li Jie concluded.Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes watched them from afar. A faint smile formed on the face hidden beneath a bamboo hat.After helping Liu Zixuan mount Ireng’s back, Li Jie leapt up with ease. He then spurred his horse forward, following the path toward the palace of the Tang Dynasty.Liu Zixuan, struggling to sit in front, eventually moved to the back. She wrapped her arms tightly around Li Jie as the horse galloped swiftly.On the third day, they finally arrived at the gates of t
The Man in the Bamboo Hat
"It looks like we've got ourselves a very special catch today, boys! A beautiful goddess sent down just for us. Look at that body... so firm and full. I'm sure we'll be more than satisfied enjoying her!" one of them said."Let’s just hope she’s strong enough to serve us all, hahaha!" another one replied."Judging by her figure, I bet she's still a virgin. How about we draw lots to see who gets to take her virginity first?" said a slightly chubby man. "But first, let’s catch her!"The beautiful girl was clearly not ready for the situation she was facing. Yesterday, she had been kidnapped by members of the Black Peak Sect for ransom, but this time, it was different. These six men were burning with lust to lay their hands on her."Don't come any closer or I'll scream!""Scream all you want, pretty girl! There’s no one else here but us. You'd better obey, and we can all enjoy a piece of heaven together!" said a tal

"I still have a lot to do! I’ll take you out of this forest. After that, you can find your own way to your father's palace!" Li Jie replied."If you’re asking for payment to guide me, just tell me how much you want. Once we arrive, I’ll ask my father to pay you."Li Jie stopped walking. He turned around and looked at the girl's beautiful face."So, you still haven’t learned to appreciate others, have you? Do you think everything can be measured with wealth? Do you even realize that your father’s riches and power mean nothing in this place!?"The beautiful girl fell silent and lowered her gaze. Slowly, warm tears trickled down from the corners of her long lashes. Never in her life had anyone raised their voice at her. She had always been pampered in luxury by her parents.And now, in front of her, the only young man she hoped could lead her back to safety, had spoken so harshly—yet awakened her at the same time."Do you think your tears will soften my heart and make me help you? Don’t
Heading to the Tang Dynasty
Some members of the sect moved forward to attack Li Jie. Others, thinking more rationally, ran away from the place. They didn’t want to die in vain. Seeing four of their comrades die so easily was proof enough that they stood no chance. Especially against a young man capable of hurling fireballs to attack them.An unbalanced battle ensued. One by one, the sect members were killed and burned by the searing claws Li Jie unleashed upon them. The members of the Black Peak Sect were unable to withstand the deadly assaults.Screams of pain and death echoed repeatedly. It didn’t take long for Li Jie to wipe out all the sect members who had dared to attack him. They died at his hands, their bodies charred to ashes.Li Jie let out a long breath after finishing off the last living member of the sect. As for those who had fled, he made no effort to chase them. Instead, he focused on searching for any valuables that might still be left inside the now-deserted sect compound.After thoroughly check
The Death of Duke Yu Zun
But an unexpected and ridiculous incident caused Duke Yu Zun to fall flat on his back. His backward step had tripped over the charred corpse of a member of the Black Peak Sect.The tall and burly man cursed incoherently. Before he could get up, the young man who had become his greatest nightmare was already standing nearby."Forgive me, Prince! I surrender!" Duke Yu Zun knelt down with both hands clasped in front of his face.Li Jie gave a cynical smile at the sight of the frightened face. Before he could speak, Emperor Sin Jinhao suddenly rushed forward and swung his sword at Duke Yu Zun’s neck."Arghhhh!"The strike from Emperor Sin Jinhao was so strong that it severed Yu Zun’s head clean from his body."He doesn’t deserve to live, Prince. His crimes are beyond forgiveness!"Li Jie let out a heavy sigh. He actually had the same thought as Emperor Sin Jinhao, but he had intended to extract more information about Yu Zun’s allies before killing him."It’s fine, Your Majesty. I understa
The Final Attack
At the same time, Duke Yu Zun and Li Shimin lunged toward the young man, using the same technique as before. They were still curious about Li Jie's ability to expel poison from his body so quickly. Both of them thought to combine their venomous power to defeat the young man.Unlike the previous two strikes, this time Li Jie did not allow his body to become the target of their blows. Using the Flaming Dragon Claw technique, he charged straight at their attacks.The first clash of their opposing energies produced a muffled explosion. The two enemies were forced several steps back, while Li Jie remained firmly in place without moving an inch.Not only were they pushed back, but parts of the clothes worn by Duke Yu Zun and Li Shimin were also burned.“He’s not our match, Elder. I think he truly did defeat Elder Datuk Sesat,” said Duke Yu Zun. Doubt began to creep into his heart. Doubt that he could win against this young man standing before him.“Shall we stick to the original plan, Sir?”
The Insult of Duke Yu Zun
Li Jie simply smiled and stepped four paces forward. "Your Majesty, assist the soldiers in dealing with the sect members I’ve already crushed. These two are mine.""Very well, Prince," replied Emperor Sin Jinhao.The emperor’s respectful tone toward Li Jie left Duke Yu Zun confused. Before the emperor of the Tong Dynasty could walk away, Yu Zun shouted at him."Where do you think you're going, Sin Jinhao? We’re not finished yet!""Now that Prince Li Jie is here, you’ll be dealing with him!""Who is this snot-nosed boy that you show so much respect to?" asked Yu Zun, baffled.Emperor Sin Jinhao didn’t answer right away. He glanced at the handsome young man beside him."Just tell him, Your Majesty. So he won’t die full of curiosity," said Li Jie.The emperor nodded."This is Prince Li Jie, Supreme Commander and heir to the throne of the Shang Dynasty. Since you’ve caused trouble within the Shang Dynasty’
The Battle at the Luhan Duchy
"Who are you, and why are you blocking His Majesty from entering the Luhan Duchy!?" a head soldier barked."By order of Duke Yu Zun, no one is allowed to enter the Luhan Duchy, not even the Emperor himself!" replied a man dressed entirely in black. The sword in his hand was drawn, signaling he was ready for battle."Duke Yu Zun is not the ruler of the Tong Dynasty! You've made a serious mistake!""I don't care if you're from the palace. Anyone who dares to enter Luhan Duchy—we will eliminate them!"Hearing faint commotion from outside, Emperor Sin Jinhao turned to one of his soldiers and asked, "Soldier, what is the disturbance outside?""Forgive me, Your Majesty. We are not allowed to enter Luhan Duchy. A group assigned by Duke Yu Zun is guarding the gates."The Emperor frowned with rage. "Who are they?""Judging by their uniforms, they appear to be
Rebellion
That night passed, and morning came.Meanwhile, the three soldiers who had been ordered to arrest Duke Yu Zun finally arrived at the Luhan duchy after traveling all night without rest."Forgive us, Lord Duke... His Majesty has commanded you to appear at the palace!" said one of the soldiers while showing the royal seal given by Emperor Sin Jinhao."What is the matter that His Majesty summoned me for? And how did you end up at the palace?" asked Duke Yu Zun, curious."We were caught extorting protection money from the people, my Lord. After that, His Majesty ordered us to bring you to the palace to take responsibility for what you commanded the soldiers to do."The tall, burly duke immediately stood and put on a fierce expression. His anger surged upon hearing the news."If I refuse, what will you do? What will that foolish emperor do to me!?""We will take you to the palace by force!" one of the soldiers replied."Hahaha... The three of you want to take me? Have you suddenly grown bra
