*Twang!*Xi Shen missed played a note due to the bellowing shout that suddenly echoed from outside.The entire hall became silent and a few people’s expressions turned venomous as stared at the entrance of the hall.In the outside world, droves of people leaped off the ships and fly into the air before entering the Imperial Palace.These people showed no regard for where they were, it was a blatant disrespect to the Li Clan Royal Family.Guest they maybe, but barging into someone else’s home and bellowing out your presence would get the homeowner to look at you with ire.In the lead of these droves of people was an old man. He looked to be around his late sixties, but cultivators with his appearance could only mean that his cultivation was very profound.Walking just behind him was a group of youths that were curiously looking around the hall, specifically at the people around their age. They seemed to be probing them more than anything.In the lead of these youth was an otherworldly
“WHAT?!”“WHAT?!”Two shouts of surprise occurred after Lu Xue Feng’s words echoed out.One was from Xi Shen, who had snapped his head up and was wide-eyed with a disbelieving look on his face.And then…*Slap!*He felt a burning sensation on his cheek, as this sudden development came from right around the corner to smack him right across the face.The other shout was from someone unexpected, it was from the little brother of Lu Xue Feng.His expression mirrored Xi Shen’s own as they both stared at Lu Xue Feng in shock.They both suddenly glanced at each other when they saw each other's reactions.The hall was silent at this moment as everyone was busy reeling back in shock at what they just heard.Some of the youths in the hall looked between Xi Shen and Lu Yue. They can’t understand what the hell the Profound Sword Sect was thinking to betrothed her to him.Lu Xue Feng hearing his little brother’s sudden shout frowned before turning to look at him.His gaze showed signs that say he
“No, I’m getting that same feeling too. I don’t know what it is, they’re nothing alike, neither in personality or demeanor, but seeing them together is like looking at a perfectly whole picture.”“It irks me to no end this second prince who can’t cultivate is just being handed this beauty, but seriously seeing them together I can’t help but agree that they look like a perfect match somehow.”“Is this perhaps what happens when two people are fated? This feeling will even be sensed by bystanders looking on?”Murmurs like this echoed in the crowd, but mostly among the youths.People were starting to discuss the weird chemistry between Xi Shen and Lu Yue.Shin who was hearing all of this grind his teeth.Xi Shen heard them as well, and his face couldn’t help twist slightly into an ugly expression.He wanted out of this situation since he was still by no means in agreement with this marriage arrangement.With a soft pluck from Xi Shen, the guqin let out a crystal clear note of the Silent W
*Sniffle**Sniffle*“Damn it…”Xi Shen wiped his face with the hem of his sleeves as he moved along the various corridors.His nose was slightly red and his eyes were quite puffy.While wiping his face Xi Shen said annoyed.“What is this? Are these tears?”“Is this what it’s like to cry?”“It feels like my eyes are leaking salt water. It's annoying, I don’t like it.”Xi Shen finish wiping his face and as he continue to walk his mind went back to the previous events. The look in his mother’s eyes was replaying in his head repeatedly.He let out a long sigh.“I screwed up by letting my emotions get the better of me.""My position now couldn’t be more ironic, could it?”Xi Shen asked self-deprecatingly.He was feeling quite down, but now that he was out of there this was a good opportunity to deal with a few matters.He was very worried about the commotion he caused by injuring those disciples, but he hoped his father could handle it.He didn’t want to return, but after this, he should a
*Step**Step*Xi Shen’s feet landed on the cobblestone ground, as he walked towards Fu Wei who was still convulsing.He was extremely leisurely and had his hands behind his back.Xi Shen wasn’t in a hurry. He had been waiting for fourteen ears for this so a few seconds wouldn’t be a big deal for him.However, his leisurely steps suddenly grind to a halt when several runes flashed into being around Fu Wei and the entire room as a whole.This sudden development stun Xi Shen. He actually didn’t sense these runes previously.The runes were blood-red and with Fu Wei at the center, several complicated symbols that resemble chains spread out to all corners of the room on the ground.Looking around at these runes, Xi Shen’s eyes flickered intensely before his face suddenly scrunched up into a completely ugly expression.“These runes-”“Hahaha!”Xi Shen was suddenly cut off by Fu Wei who had opened his eyes to look at him.Despite the fact that he was in immense pain with his body convulsing,
Despite pulling out the plum blossom, some tentacle-like strings were still connected at the end of it that led back into Fu Wei's forehead.It looked like a parasite more than a Divine object.The orange petal in Xi Shen’s right palm released a light that encapsulated the plum blossom and the tentacles then began to shrivel up before they wilted away leaving it whole in his palm. Immediately after this happened, Fu Wei’s twisted expression faded and a light that had long disappeared seemed to reappear in his eyes once again.Fu Wei blinked a few times looking like he just woke up from a long dream.Looking around, his expression turned to confusion as he wondered where he was. His eyes landed on Xi Shen and his confusion increased.“Little Shen, is that you?”Hearing this question, Xi Shen felt a bit bad in his heart.It’s like he had thought, the plum blossom had changed Fu Wei ever since he had given it to him. Xi Shen didn’t know that was the case since he hadn’t known his brothe
“It was during this time that I stumble upon Chaos Qi. My focus shifted slightly and my desire and greed for knowledge thrust me into another obsession. But I eventually succumb to that insatiable greed and died.”“But to my surprise, I woke up here in the body of a baby. I struggle to adjust a lot, I couldn’t come to the reality of my situation. I was relieved that I had escaped that tortuous life, but at the same time, I was feeling regret. And that’s despite the demons I now possess in this life because of keeping my past memories.”“My emotions had returned but even though I studied them before, having them was not the same thing.”The different language, the different people, and simply wearing shoes and dressing appropriately wasn’t the only thing Xi Shen struggled with after he reincarnated.He also struggled with having emotions he had long gotten used to not having.His mother would have called him temperamental if anyone asked as a kid growing up, but he had gained some cont
“His majesty this is just completely ridiculous!!!”“The second prince blatantly attacked us, look at what he caused!! Our disciples' souls have been severely damaged?!!”“His Majesty please give us an explanation, these injuries caused to these disciples will severely hamper their future cultivations!!”“Yes that’s right, compensation should be given to us, how else can we make up for the cost of healing these disciples' souls?!!”“His Majesty all we weren’t is an explanation we need not any compensation. It is unbecoming of a prince to act this way, some form of punishment should be dealt out.”As the crowd of people in the hall bellowed out their demands at an expressionless Li Shu, his ears picked up on that last sentence.His gaze moved to that Elder from one of the Noble Families under his command.The Elder went rigid when he saw the cold look in Li Shu’s eyes.“Are you suggesting that my Shen’er should be punished? Who are you to suggest that?”Li Shu’s words were calm but tha
So, that's the end of Book One."..."Are you mad?"..."Of course you are, I'm sorry."Fuck you, Author..."Wah! I'm really sorry!!*start groveling and begging for forgiveness.*For those of you who haven't seen it in the last chapter(it's not like I didn't put it in the title.) I made the decision to end Book One here, right on the edge of a massive cliff... don't kill me haha, I swear I'll write Book Two.Oh, did you see the title of Book Two? If not here it is again... BOOK TWO: War Of Continents... coming soon.I always intended to split this novel into separate books, but I never planned on stopping Book One here. At first, I made the decision to go on hiatus, but then as I read over the last few chapters I realized this was somewhat of a good place to end Book One... please don't kill me.For all the readers who have reached this point... thank you.I've been writing this book for over a year now. Arguably I haven't posted much in the last three months, but we don't talk about t
When Gu Min landed in front of him, Yang Su stood there staring at him with a blank expression while tears ran down his cheeks.“What, you won't even come running to hug me after not seeing me for so long? You always did when we were little. Or have you grown too big now? You’re almost as tall as I am.”Gu Min said this jokingly, but Yang Su could only lower his head and began wiping his tears.Gu Min walked up to him and hugged him.“It’s okay, why are you crying?”“I-I thought you died because of me. And Mom and Dad, they…”“Did they blame you?”A sad expression appeared on Gu Min’s face, but Yang Su shook his head.“No, after they thought you died they wouldn’t let me out of their sights. It's because of you that I couldn’t even set foot outside of the house.”Gu Min cracked a smile when he heard his little brother’s words.“I’m sorry I didn’t come home, I-”“It’s fine.”Yang Su suddenly said cutting off Gu Min.“As long as you’re fine I don’t care if I never see you again, I just
Ling Tian was in the sky scanning the crowd of disciples down below.His heart was filled with both anger and frustration.Soon, his gaze stopped on a figure that was trying to blend into the crowd as much as possible.But despite the hood hiding their appearance, Ling Tian knew exactly who this person was.In a fit of rage and worry, he bolted toward this person.On the ground, Li Shen looked at Yang Su and asked.“Yang Su, what do you mean, is that person your older brother?”Everyone in the group heard this and they all turned to look at Yang Su.Yang Su nodded and said.“He looks slightly different, but I’m sure that’s him.”While Xian was smiling off to the side, Mu Fan glanced at Yang Su’s brother in the air and scowled.“His hair is ever redder than yours, how revolting.”Jun frowned and elbowed Mu Fan to shut up.As Yang Su continued to look at his brother he started to become more agitated.He was skeptical of Xian’s words before but now that he saw his brother he was overcom
Mu Fan placed everyone down before they all glared at Xian.Xian shrugged his shoulders in response.Jun was about to comment on Xian being here, but Li Shen placed a hand on his shoulder.“Look after Lu Yue for me.”Hearing this, Jun turned to look at Lu Yue before hurrying over.Fei Yin hurried over as well, it looked like she had a few superficial wounds he was able to heal.Li Shen then looked at Xian and asked.“What’s the point of you joining? You seem to have a group of your own.”“Well, that doesn’t mean I can’t join yours right?”Li Shen went silent for a moment and then said.“I’ll think about it. For now, we should focus on why we were teleported here.”Xian turned to look at the front of the hall where a throne was before saying with narrowed eyes.“Isn’t it obvious my other half? Someone wants us here.”Hearing Xian’s words, everyone in the group had their expressions change.They suddenly had a bad feeling rise in their hearts. One that Mu Fan long had.“Master…?”Li She
“D-Damn it, what is happening now?!”Mu Fan cried out as he saw his fingers fading away.Li Shen looked over at him and then down at his own hand to see his fingers were fading away as well, and at a rapid pace at that.Li Shen then looked towards the sky to see that after shattering, what was revealed was a clear blue sky.The shattered fragments of the previous crimson sky were still hovering in the air, reflecting the blue sky above and the Fiery Dimension below at the same time.Looking away from this scene, Li Shen bent down to pick up Lu Yue and carry her bridal style. He then turned to Mu Fan and said.“It’s okay, we’re being teleported to the Hidden Fragmented Realm. Hold onto me.”Mu Fan hurriedly got up and place his overly large palms on Li Shen’s shoulders.Mu Fan then watched in curiosity as a strange black light with starry light in it spread from Li Shen’s body to cover both him and Lu Yue.“What kind of ability is this?”Mu Fan said looking around. It almost seemed as
“Stop being so dramatic, I barely touched you.”Li Shen said as he gave Mu Fan who was on the ground a cursory glance.Mu Fan wined.“It is you. Bastard, do you want to get hit in the head and see how it feels?”Mu Fan then glared at Li Shen, but in response, Li Shen merely rolled his eyes and then turn back to check on an unconscious Lu Yue.Mu Fan also turned to her and asked.Is she going to be alright?”“If we can get to Jun in time, then everything will be fine.”“Is that why you let those bastards get away?”Mu Fan said as he watch Gu Jin and Shiming fly away with the rest of the Fire Empire’’s disciples and Ming Clan members.Li Shen shifted his head to look in their direction before turning back to Lu Yue.“There will come a time when they can longer run away from me, but that time hasn’t come yet. Rather, you should be healing your injuries before thinking about fighting in your condition.”“It merely scratches, I’m fine!”Mu Fan said confidentially, but Li Shen suddenly saw
“You fucker, I’ll definitely kill you for this!!”Shiming’s face was deathly pale, but intense hatred was evident in his eyes.“Huh? How are you going to do that when you’re going to see King Yama?”Mu Fan kicked Shiming’s severed arm that held his saber to the side as he walked towards him.Shiming manage to stop his bleeding and he held his stump as he slowly got up.A crazed look was in his eyes that matched Mu Fan’s own.Mu Fan didn’t care and he rushed to lop off his head like he promised he would.He appeared in front of Shiming and did a horizontal slash.However, a crazed Shiming suddenly grasp the void and a red illusory blade appeared in his remaining hand.Swoosh!Shiming swung it towards Mu Fan’s incoming saber and a Blade Energy no weaker than Mu Fan’s own swept out.BANG!A loud explosion occurred that caused the ground beneath the two to form a massive crater.Shiming was seen flying out of the dust that had risen in the area.Even when he called on his own Blade Will h
Shiming wasn’t in a hurry as he flew over to where Mu Fan was.Previously when Mu Fan had reached this location and realized he had found Lu Yue, he didn’t hesitate to start hacking.Now laying around him were numerous bloody corpses of the Fire Empire Disciples. But of course, there were also disciples who came from various small Sects that were transported here with Lu Yue. A few disciples in the group Mu Fan came with had died too.Mu Fan frowned at this sight.Something didn’t feel right to him. He loved hacking these fuckers for what they were doing, but this type of massacre irked him.It’s as if it was all planned.Mu Fan didn’t know, but he could vaguely sense something was wrong.As Mu Fan was feeling repulsed by this massacre, Shiming’s voice echoed behind him.“Why do I always have to deal with you?”Mu Fan slowly turned to see Shiming land not too far away from him. His eyes narrowed.“You don’t have to worry about that for too long. Once I lop off your head then you never
Gu Jin would send out a fist or a palm strike towards Lu Yue and she would counter it with her Sword Technique.However, she would be blown back and injured every time.After a few more of this, Lu Yue realized that she was getting further away from the battle.Gu Jin had purposely brought them here.“Are you just now realizing the situation you’re in?”Gu Jin said with a laugh.Lu Yue had fallen to the ground and as she slowly got up, Gu Jin’s gaze roamed over her slightly disheveled body.It didn’t take a genius to understand what was going on.However, Lu Yue seemed unphased despite the blood at the corner of her lips and was even weak to the point where she had to lean on her sword for support.Looking at Gu Jin, she said.“And it seems you haven’t realized the situation you're in yet.”Upon hearing that, Gu Jin frowned.However, a moment later his expression changed.Inside his body, he sensed several strands of frigid energy slowly circulating in his meridians.If it weren’t for
