Chapter 1100
Author: Blanco Burn
A hush fell over the entire venue at that announcement. Everyone began to look around anxiously, searching for the representatives from Venzor.

"Table 26!" someone shouted, and instantly, all eyes turned toward Table 26.

At this moment, Serena, Jackie, and the others were dumbfounded, exchanging puzzled and uncertain glances.

"Wh-what is happening?"

"Why are they singling out the representatives from Venzor?"

"Where is Mr. Chance? Is something wrong?"

While the entrepreneurs from Venzor were confused and anxious, the young lieutenant on the stage had already started walking toward them with a cold expression.

The young lieutenant gave the order. "Take them all away!"

This declaration sent all the Venzor representatives into a panic.

"Why are you taking us? What did we do wrong?"

"Oh my God! What's going on? We came for a business exchange. Why are we being arrested by soldiers?"

"Mr. Chance, help us..."

Panic spread among the crowd, including Serena. She was trembling, unsu

    After taking Serena and the other company representatives away, the soldiers shoved them into several military vehicles outside the hotel entrance. Later, the soldiers put their prisoners in detention cells at a nearby military base.There was no daylight in these cells. Instead, they were dark and damp, with many mosquitos. The environment was harsh, especially for businesspeople like Serena. One of the soldiers pushed her into a cell and then shut the iron gate.Serena anxiously grabbed the door railings and shouted, “Lieutenant, can I make a phone call to tell my family where I am?!”No one answered, and the soldiers stood at the doorway like statues. They would not converse with Serena without an order, no matter how much she shouted.Meanwhile, the previous junior lieutenant entered a mansion on Drakonix’s outskirts. “Flame King, we’ve captured all the targets.”The junior lieutenant bowed to Flame King, who was sipping tea on the living room sofa. The latter was bare-chested

    Flame King was no fool. He quickly understood the situation. “So, your target has always been the Supreme Commander’s wife.”Hadden smirked and nodded. “Indeed, who would’ve thought that her husband was the Supreme Commander’s wife? What surprised me and my family even more is the fact that he’s the remnant of the Xavier family.”His eyes turned cold as he spoke. The Bullards had just found out about Xayne, and the news shocked the family’s high-ranking members. Even the five elders were alarmed.After destroying the Xaviers, the Bullards checked several times and found no survivors. Until recently, Alexander told them that there was indeed a survivor and that Xayne was just a nobody.Initially, the Bullards did not care much about Xayne. After all, a nobody was not worth their time. However, they found out during a secret meeting with the other three prominent families that the Xaviers could decipher the Heavenly Tome’s fragments.For that reason, the Bullards spent considerable

    Flame King turned to the junior lieutenant and said, “Gather some men and head to the hotel those business representatives stayed in. You know what to do.”The junior lieutenant nodded and left the mansion. Soon after, news of the Venzor business representatives were in possession of contraband and firearms, resulting in their official arrest by the military.Furthermore, additional information circulated that the CEO of Serenco, who represented the Venzor delegation, was under strict investigation for stealing military and national secrets. The news shook Drakonix.While ordinary people might not recognize Serena, the higher-ups in Drakonix were well aware of her background. Even the Draconian council was outraged."That’s absolute nonsense! How can they pin such absurd charges on the former Supreme Commander's wife? What are these fools thinking?!" Hammond was furious as he slammed the table and continued, “Find out which department arrested the business representatives and who f

    Echoes of miserable screams filled cell nine. Each cry sent shivers down the spine, leaving one trembling uncontrollably."Ah! Please stop! Have mercy...""Help! Someone framed us! We don’t know what you’re talking about!""Ah! Okay, I'll confess!"In the innermost room of the cell, the sound of a whip echoed. Each strike resembled thunder, making hearts pound and bodies shudder."I don’t know what you’re talking about! I didn't do anything! I'm not a spy, either!""I didn't steal any secrets. I don't know what happened. You must’ve made a mistake."Miserable cries resounded from the interrogation room. Serena's bloodied hands were suspended in mid-air. The whip had torn her clothes. Her arms, legs, and waist were a bloody mess as drops of blood fell to the ground.Serena had blood dripping from her face. Her lips were pale as she gasped for air. She shouted with all her might, "I didn't do anything! I'm not a spy, and neither is my husband! I'm just a businesswoman. You've got

    "Don't worry. We'll clear you of all charges if it’s all your husband's doing. You're just an innocent bystander. Nothing will happen to you."Serena shook her head vigorously and shouted, "No! My husband didn't tell me to steal any secrets! You're bullshitting! My husband is the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains. He has made significant contributions to Drakonia. He wouldn't do such things. It’s all a set-up!"The sergeant frowned and ordered, "Pluck her nails off!"The burly man gripped one of Serena's fingernails with the plier and asked, "Will you talk?"Serena trembled as she shook her head, saying, "No, I—""Stubborn little brat!" The burly man rebuked, slowly pulling at Serena’s fingernail.An excruciating pain spread throughout Serena's body. It felt like her soul was getting ripped apart, causing her entire body to tense. She bit her lips until they bled and then screamed, "Ahhh!"The burly man had pulled out her fingernail, causing blood to splatter and Serena t

    The Military District Seven soldiers were stunned. The captain saluted and shouted, "Duty Captain Ericson at your service, Mr. Hammond."Ericson knew who Hammond was and that stopping him would resemble seeking death.“Company, salute!” Dozens of soldiers stood at attention and saluted.Hammond scoffed and asked coldly, "Where are the businesspeople from Venzor? Take me to them now."Ericson responded, "Sir, yes, sir!"He then quickly led the four elders to cell nine. Inside, Serena was in a bloody and fleshy mess. Blood dripped from her fingers and fell to the ground. She was unconscious and unable to hold on any longer.The burly man tried several times to wake her with cold water, but it no longer worked. He said, "Sergeant, it's useless. She won't wake up.”The sergeant glanced at the time and said grimly, "Is there another way to make her confess?"After some thought, the burly man glanced at the red-hot branding iron in the nearby stove and said, "I could use that."The

    The sergeant bled from his lips as he looked up and saw the figure standing before him. He was terrified, quickly lowering his head and stammering, “M-Mr. Hammond, sir…”Hammond was outraged as he turned and glanced at Serena, who was bloodied and bound to a chair. The older man was anxious as he looked at the young lady. Hammond roared, “Quick, get her to Dr. Stephen now!”Several guards untied Serena from the chair and then removed her from the interrogation room. Meanwhile, Hammond glared at the sergeant and said, “Take him away, too. Don’t let him contact anyone without my permission. Wait until the Supreme Commander returns before any further discussion.”“Right away, sir!”Afterward, Hammond jogged to catch up with the other guards. Warren and the other two elders were waiting in the courtyard. Warren’s expression turned grave when he saw the Drakonian guards carrying a severely injured woman out.‘It’s over for whoever did this. Something terrible is about to happen.’Warr

    The lieutenant was in a dilemma. One side was the Drakonian Council, and the other was Flame King. He dared not defy either side. “Please forgive me, Mr. Warren. My unit has orders to seal this place off. If you have any issues, please consult Flame King.”Ultimately, the lieutenant gritted his teeth and waved for his men to reinforce the blockade.Warren had never felt so angry. A cold aura engulfed him as he roared, “Let’s see if any of you dare to shoot me when I try to leave this place!”When he stepped forward, the five hundred soldiers stepped back. They dared not shoot Warren as he was the Grand Elder of the Drakonian Council. His authority was even higher than Flame King’s in certain aspects.“Let’s leave,” Warren told the other elders as he took another step, causing the soldiers to step back again. He continued to walk, and the soldiers kept retreating.The lieutenant’s expression turned solemn when he saw the elders almost leaving the area. He shouted, “Stop them! That’

In the end, anyone who craves that treasure will lose their life to greed. That is the cycle of the world." Horin gazed into the distance with a calm expression.He had not been avoiding conflict—he had been biding his time, accumulating power. Xayne could sense it in his eyes. There was ambition there. Every move Horin made served his ultimate goal. Even forging a connection with Xayne had been a calculated step to expand his influence.Xayne was a lone warrior, with no faction backing him. From Horin's perspective, all he had to do was lend Xayne a hand, earn his gratitude, and that was enough. That was why Horin had treated him so favorably. He had even shared some of his own insights, sharpening Xayne’s mindset, strengthening his abilities. Someday, Xayne might become one of his strongest ass

    Xander sized up Fent and spoke coldly. "Fent, will you not turn back from your misguided path?"Fent struggled to his feet, his glare filled with hostility. He spat on the ground and growled, "I will never stand on the same side as Xayne! And you, mark my words—when I return from this mountain, it will be the day of your demise. Just you wait!" With that, he dragged his battered body away, limping down the mountain path without looking back. Stringer and Yeti flanked him, offering their support as he leaned on them for balance.At the Heavenly Water Sanctuary, to the east, a towering waterfall crashed down in torrents. To the west, a quiet river snaked through the valley, its current slow and steady. At the river’s heart lay a tranquil pool, its surface untouched by the world beyond.A hundred feet above the gorge, nestled into the cliffside, a cave overlooked the breathtaking scenery. The air was crisp and pure, carrying the scent of fresh earth and mountain blossoms."Senior, this p

    Fent did not dare utter a single word of protest. Clutching his chest, he trembled as he knelt before Horin."How is your teacher?" Horin turned slightly, directing his question to Yeti."It has been a hundred years since I last saw him. I do not know," Yeti replied with the utmost reverence.Horin suddenly shifted his gaze to Xayne. "The secret of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars… lies like the self—no thoughts, no desires, no life, no death! It does not rely on the power of the stars! The world follows the Path of Veyara, but what is the Path of Veyara? The radiance of the stars is not true light." His words were spoken softly as if he were merely muttering to himself—or perhaps offering Xayne a lesson.Xayne's heart stirred. Horin’s insight was astounding. The eight words—"No thoughts, no desires, no life, no death."—lingered in his mind. They placed Horin far beyond the comprehension of ordinary cultivators."Magnetic fields… are simply the pull of the stars. They have al

    "Do you yield?" Horin gazed at Xayne with a calm, indifferent expression.Fent and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Just a single finger—that was all it took. It proved that Horin’s power was unfathomable. Standing before him, they felt no different from mere ants. But what was even stranger was the complete absence of dominance around Horin. No oppressive force. No overwhelming presence. It was as if he, the heavens, the earth—everything—were one. His arrival, and that single finger strike, felt less like an act of man and more like the will of the universe itself.Xayne was beyond shocked. But he was not the only one. Andrea, watching the live broadcast, sat in stunned silence. He could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. Because the one who had been defeated—was Xayne.'Then what realm had this man reached? Quad-Radiant Commander? Rising Numen Commander? Or had he already ascended to Numen Commander?' The mere thought sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.The Light Order’s

    Xayne’s comprehension must have been immense—not only to counter Fent’s attack but to transform it into his own. Fent would have easily blocked this spear had he not taken that devastating palm strike.But now, his entire right side was caved in. One arm hung limply, the other completely empty. No sword, no weapon, not even a sliver of metal remained to block Xayne’s spear. It was no different from trying to catch a nuclear warhead.Yet, Fent had no choice. His retreat had already been cut off. If he turned his back, he would only meet a deadly stab from behind—a certain death sentence."If I die—then I'll drag you down with me!" Fent’s face twisted in fury. With only one thought in his mind, he lunged toward Xayne. He would deliver a lethal palm strike, even if it meant taking Xayne’s spear head-on."Master, he's going for mutual destruction!" From a distance, Esmond saw Fent shooting forward and cried out in alarm.But Xayne had already seen through him. And now, there was no turning

    Xayne appeared to be at his limit, yet in truth, he was far from it. From the Heavenly Tome, he had already mastered the Seven-Star Footwork to perfection. With the slightest lift of his feet, his positioning shifted unpredictably.Three consecutive strikes from Fent were missed completely. The sheer force of the sword energy alone shattered the nearby trees into splinters.Xayne lunged forward, spear in hand, as a formation flared to life around him. In an instant, multiple spear projections erupted outward, each infused with lethal intent, hurtling toward Fent from every angle."Not good! Fall back quickly!" Elder Stringer suddenly shouted toward Fent.But at that very moment, just as the spears were about to pierce into Fent's body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Fent's lips. It went exactly as he had planned. From the very start, his attacks had merely been probing. Through those exchanges, Fent had already figured out that Xayne's strength was high, but his battle exp

    Just as Fent unleashed his full-force attack, far away in the Skyveria Cave Heaven within Nindragon Mountain, a young man with long hair slowly rose from a white lotus platform. He turned to the elderly figure beside him and murmured, "Fent of White Blossom Mountain?" The elderly figure was none other than Xander. Xander frowned slightly and said, "Your Excellency, in truth, the moment Killian's descendant was attacked days ago, forces from outer battlegrounds had already begun their plans. This time, they've dispatched eleven Radiant Commanders just to erase the last glimmer of hope for Drakonia. If Xayne dies, the three Dragon Hearts will be masterless, and the Ruins of Dragon Clan will never be opened again!" Xander spoke with no emotion as if merely stating an unrelated fact. Upon hearing this, Horin Tamie, the Creator of Light Order, turned his gaze toward Xayne's distant battlefield before suddenly tilting his head back and laughing. "Xander, are you truly not worried about

    Xayne let out a sudden roar, and his Scarlet Dragon Lance erupted with a dazzling radiance. The void within hundreds of meters shuddered violently, while the earth beneath them cracked open with deep fissures. At this moment, the sky seemed on the verge of being torn apart by the overwhelming force. Xayne's aura surged to its absolute peak. "Elder Stringer! Hurry! You and I must join forces to kill him! He's burning his life force, he can't last much longer! Just hold out a little longer, and he will surely perish!" Fent roared at Elder Stringer. But there was no need for Fent to say anything; Elder Stringer and Yeti could already feel it. Xayne was igniting his very soul. Elder Stringer unleashed his full strength at that instant, his sword slashing toward Xayne with killing intent. They needed just five more minutes. Xayne's aura would surely weaken, and when that moment came, it would be the end of him. "Hold out? Do you think you have a chance to kill me?" Xayne let out a c

    After the relentless battles, Xayne was clearly at his limit. Fent refused to believe that Xayne could still put up a fight. He could distinctly sense Xayne's aura weakening. As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot." With a sudden tremor of his body, Fent flicked his wrist, and the sword he had tossed aside earlier shot back into his grasp. With a single thrust, his blade erupted with a dazzling silver radiance, peerless sword energy piercing straight into the sky. Fent wasn't regarded as the peak combatant among the eleven just because of his raw power. It was because he wielded a lost secret formation from White Blossom Mountain, the "Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars."Strictly speaking, this formation surpassed conventional formations. It was a forbidden secret formation. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a peerless heavenly skill. The origins of the Nine Luminaries of the Heavenly Stars could be traced back to the first ancestor of White Blossom Mounta
