“The Academy is deciding to hold the Faction Leader Meeting early.”Li Shen said.“I’m not sure if it’s related to the recent events.”Li Shen said once again after seeing the questioning looks on everyone’s faces.“I’m leaving, I shouldn’t have to tell you all to stay put until I get back.”Li Shen then turned to leave the courtyard, having everyone watching as he goes.Walking to the Teleportation Hall on the Sword Pavilion, he noticed the strange movements of the disciples.Most of them he walked by had apprehensive looks on their faces as if they were waiting for something to happen.“Have you heard? The Academy Alliance have taken action against the Demonic Cult, even sending out Elder-level cultivator to destroy their hideouts.”“Of course I’ve heard, no one can stop talking about it.”“What do you think about it?”“What do I think? I think finally one of the Powerhouses stepped up to do something about the vile retches from the demonic cult, neither the Seven Clans nor even the
‘W-Why is there so many?!’With a glance and Li Shen estimated it to be around half a million.That was not to mention the Spirit Artifacts he saw off to one side, along with the cases of wooden boxes and vials containing valuable Alchemy medicinal pills.There were manuals of various techniques as well but they weren’t the academy’s own but ones donated or sold by disciples who acquired them outside of the academy.“Do you like what you see?”Li Shen heard the Head Elder ask with a chuckle.He looked up to see while he was busy being shocked by the number of resources, the hall had cleared out some time ago.Turning to the Head Elder, Li Shen asked.“Can I ask why I’m getting so much resources from the academy?”Li Shen understood this might be Ye Fei’s doing, but there were others in charge of decision-making. It was unheard of that one faction was receiving all of the resources, even if the accumulation was only equivalent for a year.“The Sword Pavilion has acknowledged your Facti
“I went too far? Your Demonic Cult has been on a rampage across the continent, if I don’t send you a message then you all would go unchecked.”“Fucking bastard, do you intend to start a war? Are you prepared for the consequences of that?”“No war is going to start, I forbade it.”Li Shen didn’t know who the voices of the previous two were, but from the Academy leader’s name being mentioned and using context clues, the Academy Leader was likely speaking with the leader of the Demonic Cult.As for the third voice, he immediately recognized it as his father’s own.“You forbade it? Don’t make me laugh you little brat, even if your father was here he wouldn’t dare provoke us into taking action. Do you have any idea what my Assassins Guild is capable of? Continue to pressure us and I’ll turn this Continent into a bloodbath.”The Leader of the Dark Moon Assassins Guild was the figurehead of the Demonic Cult.‘It sounds like he’s completely unhinged. Such a person in charge of the Demonic Cul
The person who just showed up was the young man who Li Shen stole the Dragon Qi from!“Oh! Where are my manners, respected seniors, I’m Long Feng, the Young Master of the Ancestral Dragon Clan.”“Ancestral Dragon Clan? I have never heard of such an Ancestral Clan before.”The Mercenary Association Leader said with a hint of confusion in her voice.“Ah, my Clan is quite far away from this small continent, so I understand if you haven’t heard of it.”Calling the Maple Continent small, everyone's curiosity as to who this person was piqued even more. He sounds extremely young, and his soul hasn’t even transformed into a Nascent Soul yet, meaning he was below the Nascent Soul Realm.However, none of them were fools. Just the technique he used to extend his Soul up here was enough for them to know this person was from a mysterious background. One they haven’t heard of before.“Is there something that prompted you to reach out to us?”Li Shu asked.“Ah, yes yes, I was honestly worried about
‘That woman better not say anything rash! Especially Huifen, I suppose he didn’t mention my identity to anyone and was working alone. But I can not rule out the possibility that he told her.’Li Shen began cursing in his heart.At that time, it was smart on his part to make negotiations with Huifen, and even had the balls to reveal his identity. That was because they were a neutral power and wouldn’t have benefited from revealing his identity as the Faceless hero. That was just creating an unnecessary enemy. Plus, he had something they wanted, knowledge about the Central Continent.But now this came back to blow up in his face in dramatic fashion.‘Dammit, is this my skewed luck trying to pull a practical joke on me? How can this situation line up so perfect for my identity to be revealed, and in front of people who would want me dead if told no less!!’This was a cataclysmic disaster that completely blindside and smack him square in the face.He was done for, finish! kaput!It was co
Li Shen grabbed at his head as he couldn’t comprehend what was happening. This was just way too sudden!BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!More banging sounds echoed out and Li Shen raised his head to the sky to curse.“You have to be fu-”However, he paused when he saw that the bell was slowly dissipating. The noise hadn’t come from it.“EIGHTH ELDER!! JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!!”Li Shen’s head swerved to look towards one of the floating islands in the distance, to see the chains that extended from it into the void had been severed. They let out an irritating clanking noise as they send shockwaves everywhere as they swerve around erratically.The island itself was tittering to one side about to fall over.Screams of disciples were heard in Li Shen’s ears that sent a chill down his spine.The shout from before came from a streak of silver sword light.Li Shen recognized it as Ye Fei’s own.A terrifying Sword Energy suddenly slashed across the sky and shot from him to t
Li Shen stared down from his position in the air.What remained of his clothes was already soaked in blood. His burly appearance added to this gave him the look of an unbeatable titan in myths and legends.Down on the ground, within the crowd of disciples, a few of them were looking up at Li Shen with expressions of terror.Li Shen had carried out a massacre targeting them from the crowd like he knew they were from the Demonic Cult.These demonic disciples have long come to realize this and were now filled with apprehension. The joy of watching these fools from the Celestial Academy run around not knowing they were seconds away from being stabbed in the back was completely gone.They lost the ability to keep to the shadows and mingle with the crowd. All because of that monster who just appeared all of a sudden.‘What are we going to do now? He’s able to somehow know our identities!’‘Fool! Don’t panic and continue to carry out the orders. He’s only one person and there are many of us,
The demonic disciple who was looking at Fuangu with mockery was at the early Foundation Realm as well but had formed his 3rd Divine Platform, making Fuangu one stage weaker than him. He had been toying with him so far but seeing Fuangu’s actions he couldn’t help his eyes from going wide.“Are you insane burning your life essence like this?!”Fuangu burning his life essence gave him strength equal to his own. He was already weakened so with this Fuangu went from someone he could kill with a bit of effort to being able to threaten his life.Even though it was temporary Fuangu looked completely out of his mind.He took a step back, but Fuangu didn’t hear him and with eyes completely red he reached him before slashing down with his sword as hard as he could.The demonic disciple awkwardly blocked his attack but was pushed back.Fuangu continued to bombard him with attacks relentlessly, even managing to pierce his shoulder. He pulled out his sword causing blood to spurt from the demonic di
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
