A moment ago, after Prince Wang Wei's body exploded, the Golden Sword that had flown away unexpectedly returned to Song Rui. The teacher of Prince Wang Wei was surprised by the sword's return, which suddenly embedded itself in front of his meditating body.

The wrinkles on the old man's forehead deepened. His initial surprise quickly turned into concern for his only student, Prince Wang Wei.

The return of the Golden Sword, which he had entrusted to Prince Wang Wei, could only mean that something terrible had happened to him. Song Rui suspected that his student was no longer alive.

Slowly, he pulled the Golden Sword from the ground. Then, he placed the blade against his forehead and closed his eyes. As his thoughts focused on Prince Wang Wei's face, he muttered an incantation.

In his mind, Song Rui saw his student fighting against a handsome young man wielding a sword that radiated a white glow. The old man frowned—he recognized that swo

    "Where have you been? Have you forgotten that you have a wife? Or are you looking for another woman out there?"The handsome young man gently stroked his wife's long, black hair. "Now tell me, is there any other woman more beautiful than you, my wife? How could I ever look for someone else when I already have such a beautiful and devoted wife at home?" Li Jie replied with a smile."Then why did you leave without telling me?""I had something important to take care of. If I had told you beforehand, you wouldn’t have let me go. But what I did was to save Hong Li's life.""Next time, you must ask for my permission before leaving!" Mei Lian snapped."Alright, my princess." Li Jie bowed with a broad smile. "Or perhaps… you missed what we did that night?"Mei Lian glared at him before wrapping her arms around her husband. But suddenly, Li Jie lifted he

    Mei Lian smiled upon hearing Li Jie's response. She embraced her husband tightly before they both fell into a deep sleep.Without realizing it, the crowing of roosters welcomed the arrival of the morning sun. All the palace residents had awakened from their dreams and were busy with their respective activities.Meanwhile, Mei Lian, who had also woken up, hurried to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her husband, who was still sound asleep. She didn’t know why, but her heart told her to make something special for Li Jie. Since leaving her home and journeying with him to the palace—until she became his wife—this was the first time she had cooked for him.After finishing her cooking, Mei Lian rushed to their chamber to wake Li Jie."Wake up, my beloved husband. I've made something special for you," Mei Lian said while gently patting his hand.The handsome young man opened his eyes and smiled at his wife."Wash

    The young man's smile widened. However, he still felt unsatisfied with his achievement. He believed that his technique could still be improved. Moreover, he was aware that there were techniques out there more powerful than his.Meanwhile, dozens of soldiers moved out of the capital after receiving orders from Emperor Li Wei to investigate the cause of the explosion and the tremors that were felt all the way to the royal city.The soldiers followed the trail of thick black smoke rising into the sky. They were convinced that the billowing smoke was the aftermath of the explosion they had heard.Halfway to their destination, the soldiers encountered Li Jie, whose clothes were dusty and tattered. They all halted and dismounted from their horses. Then, they immediately bowed in respect."Our respects, Your Highness," one of the soldiers said."Where are you headed?""His Majesty has ordered us to find the source of the explosion, Prince.

    "Chen Li, I've found that young man!" Chen Su whispered."Isn't that the one chasing you?" Chen Li asked, watching a young man running across the rooftops, pursuing his brother."Yes, that's him. Lure him out of the capital. He won't get any help from the soldiers once he's outside.""Where are you going?""I have unfinished business. I'll catch up with you later! Go now!"The two of them swiftly scattered, both heading out of the capital. Chen Su intended to deceive the young man before returning to the palace.Li Jie had to choose which one of them to chase. Though both were heading out of the capital, he needed to catch at least one of them.Once outside the capital, Chen Su hid behind a tree, allowing the young man to chase his brother."Stop right there!" Li Jie shouted as he pursued Chen Li.After gaining some distance from the capital, Chen Li stopped and turned to face Li Jie. His sharp eyes

    The handsome young man was lucky enough to dodge the strike just a fraction of a second before his ribs were hit hard."It turns out your abilities are far beyond my expectations, young man. No wonder you were able to kill Wang Wei!" said Chen Su.Li Jie smirked mockingly at the old man in front of him. His hands rested on his hips, and he remained completely calm, but his vigilance did not diminish in the slightest."Your disciple was indeed foolish, and that usually comes from an equally foolish teacher!" Li Jie retorted quickly, his mocking sneer clear on his lips.Chen Su's eyes widened as his emotions surged. Li Jie's humiliating words instantly ignited his fury."I will tear that sharp mouth of yours apart, you mangy cockroach! I will not let you live!"Li Jie scratched his head slowly, smiling amusedly as he imagined the shape of a mangy cockroach. "Besides being stupid and short-tempered, you’re actually quite funny too, you old goat!"Chen Li chuckled softly upon hearing the

    A strike unleashed by Li Jie sent Chen Su staggering backward, and the young man took advantage of the opportunity to execute one of his signature techniques.His body shot forward, his right hand forming a claw in front of him. "Die!" he shouted.Chen Su, unable to evade, could only raise both hands to block the attack. He channeled more than half of his strength to withstand the immense energy directed at him."Hyaa!" Li Jie shouted loudly just before his attack landed.Chen Su had been prepared to receive the blow, but to his surprise, the young man suddenly changed the direction of his strike. Li Jie planted his foot firmly before shifting sideways, redirecting his claw toward his opponent's neck.The old man could only widen his eyes in shock, unable to react to Li Jie's lightning-fast feint. Just as he resigned himself to his fate, Chen Li lunged to grab his brother's body."You're too foolish, Su! Can't you read that young man's movements?!" Chen Li scolded."Easy for you to say

    Li Jie gave a faint smile before shifting his stance to the Thousand Sacred Lights Sword technique, increasing his attack speed. He only needed a moment of their carelessness, as this technique was most effective when attacking from a distance.Without pause, the young man, who had just lost his wife, continued to move, launching swift close-range attacks while searching for an opportunity to unleash a long-range strike. He then leaped far back and channeled his inner energy into his sword blade. With a faint smirk, he slashed, sending a distant attack targeting the three opponents."Thousand Sacred Lights Sword!" Li Jie shouted. Dozens, even hundreds, of small white beams shot out from the blade in his hand.The two old men leaped into the air to avoid the incoming assault. However, they were shocked when the hundreds of white beams continued to chase them.Using all their speed, Chen Su and Chen Li moved to evade the relentless pursuit of the light beam

    After everyone left his chamber, Li Jie walked toward the door and locked it. He then returned to the large bed and sat cross-legged beside his wife's pale corpse."I would trade my life to bring my wife back to life," he murmured in his heart.The young man then closed his eyes, focusing his concentration on the core of his life energy. He channeled the Devil's Fire energy into his wife's cold body.Slowly, Mei Lian's body regained its color, appearing as if she were still alive. However, there were no signs of life from the beautiful woman. Li Jie infused more Devil's Fire energy into her body, but she still did not move.Exhausted, a strange-faced man suddenly appeared before him and scolded him harshly."You fool! The Devil's Fire energy I granted you is not a life-giving force! Even if you use it all, your wife's soul will never return!"Li Jie opened his eyes and looked at the figure before him. His gaze was empty and wea

    The silence between them lingered for quite some time. Li Jie had nothing to say, while Liu Zixuan was overwhelmed by the feelings she had for the young man beside her.The atmosphere grew even more solemn as a gentle drizzle slowly began to wet the earth that night.In his mind, Li Jie suddenly remembered the moments before his wife’s death—those quiet evenings when he and Mei Lian sat together on the front porch after a long day of farming. Without realizing it, Li Jie reached out and held Liu Zixuan’s hand tightly. His emotions swept him away, as if the girl beside him was Mei Lian.Liu Zixuan was startled and confused. She looked at Li Jie’s face, but there was no expression—his handsome features were flat and cold, his gaze blank, staring straight ahead.From a distance, behind the wall, Empress Li Meifang watched the scene with a joyful smile. She had been looking for her daughter but held herself back upon seeing Liu Zixuan alone with Li Jie. She decided to simply observe from

  • Birthmark

    Curious about what Emperor Liu Zuan would ask him, Li Jie followed the request of the Tang Dynasty's ruler.Upon arriving at the palace hall, Emperor Liu Zuan asked Li Jie to recount the rescue of his daughter."At first, I didn’t know that Princess Liu Zixuan was in that sect, Your Majesty. My only intention was to eliminate the remnants of the Black Peak Sect at one of its branches," said Li Jie.Emperor Liu Zuan furrowed his brow deeply. He had heard of the sect Li Jie mentioned. His gaze shifted to his prime minister who was also present in the hall."Prime Minister Guang Zi, didn’t you once mention that sect?""Yes, Your Majesty. That sect followed the path of the dark arts," answered the white-haired man, who was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty."If I may ask, where exactly is this sect located, young warrior?" Guang Zi asked Li Jie.Li Jie gave a faint smile. He knew the white-haired man was testing him."The main sect lies atop Mount Lawu, Prime Minister. Its branch was

  • 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

    "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’
