“Oh? Haha, that’s one wild theory you have.”Li Shen said with a chuckle.Shoi-ming stood up, a serious expression on his face.“Can’t all of you see it?! That flute he’s been playing has some hypnotic effect that’s slowly taking over your mind making you become loyal to him! How else can you explain the absurd notion that all of you would support this trashy prince?!!”Shoi-ming looked around and spoke to the crowd of disciples as if he was trying to wake them up from a dream.However, he only got expressionless faces in return.“Bastard, what are you talking about?! It’s because of that flute that we can break through, it’s nothing like you said. Your just some spy sent here from another Faction to sow discord here!”Shoi-ming didn’t deny it and said.“That’s right, I’m a part of the Stormy Violet Sword Faction. I was sent here to investigate this place to find out what’s going on behind these closed doors. But I wouldn’t imagine the Second Prince of the Li Royal Family was brainwas
East Lake City was a Nascent Realm level city and was like any other cultivator city around the Celestial Academy.It had massive Auction Houses with rare and precious items being sold. Grandiose pavilion restaurants that sold ambrosia-like food, and even pavilions that held otherworldly beautiful women, or men, no one would judge, that would entice you to spend more.It was currently nighttime, and the streets were lit with lanterns while people busily or casually stroll about.Inside of the high-end area of the city, was a completely empty reputable restaurant, except for the youth sitting alone on its top floor.He was casual as he repeatedly poured himself wine from a jug nearby.Across from him was a single empty seat.The young man that looked no more than twenty took up the cup that he filled with wine and swirled it a bit.Staring at his reflection inside the cup for a moment, his face could be seen twitching while a surprising light flickered in his eyes briefly.“I never tho
Weisheng look towards the pavilion and he saw Li Shen’s unscathed figure walk out.A feeling of invincibility was radiating from him and Weisheng couldn’t help but have his skull go numb.Messing with him was a major blunder on his part! This person likely had the ability to ruin everything he had built up until now.Not wasting time, he immediately turned around and dashed off.Li Shen coldly watched as he ran with his tail between his legs.The three cultivators, however, floated into the air to block his path.“So what if you are the rumored Faceless Hero? Your nothing more than a Sea Expansion Realm cultivator in the end.”One of the cultivators said with ridicule.Li Shen looked at these three with complete indifference.“Why are you ants standing in front of me?”Step.He casually said as he step forward off the ledge, his foot stepping on the void.The three cultivators wore ugly expressions when they heard Li Shen’s words, but they quickly turned to shock when they saw him fly
Looking back, Weisheng had all of these things happened to him but they were so random he couldn’t have found any connection between them.He was completely defeated by the one thing he was good at, now his mind and heart were now in chaos.It was at that time Li Shen’s hand suddenly shot out and grabbed his face.Weisheng immediately let out a guttural scream because of the pain coming from his head. It felt as if something was branding itself on his soul and his head feel like it was about to explode.After a few seconds, Li Shen removed his hand and Weisheng fainted.A small plum blossom engulfed in dark flames was seen on his forehead that soon slowly started to fade away.Suddenly, a furious shout roared from above.“Bastard!! Get away from my grandson?!”The figure of an old man appeared above the west gate. He immediately teleported in front of Li Shen and grab for his throat. His hand in the shape of a hawk's talons caused the void to tremble.He was fully intending on wringin
Li Shen stepped outside and saw the boys of the group.“Hey guys, you finally decided to leave seclusion?”He said with a smile, but as soon as the others heard him they visibly flinched.Mu Fan who was in Jun’s face quickly turned to look at him with an apprehensive gaze. The others also had similar looks on their faces.“Hey hey, you aren’t going to torture us, aren’t you? We just came out of seclusion!”Mu Fan slowly backed away and looked as if he was ready to run away at any moment.Li Shen only looked at him casually and said.“You think you could escape if I wanted to catch you?”Hearing that, Mu Fan’s skull went numb and like a veteran that came back from a brutal war, he had PTSD images of Li Shen’s “training” flash across his mind in horrific fashion. And so did the others.However, Li Shen only shook his head and then said.“So? How did your seclusions go? Have you all broken through your current cultivation bottlenecks?”Mu Fan scowled at that and then said while pointing
“Anyway, now that you guys are back we need to resume our missions. But before we discuss the Demonic cult…”Li Shen turned to Lihua.They were all seated around a table.“How did those spies infiltrate our faction?”“Huh? Something like that happened when we were gone?”Mu Fan said surprised.Lihua explained the details of what happened yesterday morning to him and the others before she responded to Li Shen’s question.“After some investigation, we discovered that those two entered the Celestial Academy with fake identities. The Stormy Violet Sword Faction executed an elaborate plan to have them enter the Outer Academy for us to scout them in the future. We also have reason to believe that more of their members are mingled in with the Inner Disciples while disguised as an Outer Disciple turned Inner Disciple.”Fang Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold light upon hearing that.“They would go that far to put a spy in our ranks? We refrain from doing the same to not cause a major conflict in
Flipping open his fan, Li Shen walked into the courtyard where Mu Fan, Fei Yin, and Fang Chen were lying around chests heaving while groaning in pain. For the past few days, they’ve been in Li Shen’s brutal training sessions. He was those types of instructors that put emphasis on learning the basics. But what basics?!! They were well past the stage where basics should be a factor in their training. They can break a massive boulder with one strike of their fists! They can split, no, utterly destroy a river with one slash of their weapon! And with one step they could jump or move dozens of meters in an instant! The feats they were capable of were beyond what a normal mortal human can fathom. But here he was making them do basic training. And if you’re wondering how basic training could make cultivators of their level lay on the ground exhausted while groaning from the immense pain coming from their bodies, then looked to that accursed pole! Li Shen walked over to them while ca
Despite Ling Xia’s words, the figure remained silent. ‘How could she sense me? I wasn’t doing anything for her to notice me. Maybe she just has an inkling and isn’t really sure of my presence, right? Are her senses really that sharp? Wait no, her senses have always been sharp, she might have actually sensed me!’ As soon as the figure finished his thought process panic ensued. Ling Xia not getting a response got slightly upset and said. “I don’t appreciate being secretly guarded and you can tell my brother I don’t need it!” The figure hearing this froze. After a slight pause, he said. “...I was only doing what I was told, I have no ill intent towards the Young Lady.” Hearing the figure’s distorted voice, Ling Xia frowned. “You can carry out your orders without spying on me in secret. If anything it makes you look like a weirdo.” The figure hesitated upon hearing her, it wasn’t his intention to trick her, however… A moment later, the figure’s body could be seen leaping out of
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
