Chapter 185
Author: Blanco Burn
Boom!

Theodore’s statement shocked Kian as he lay limp on the ground. His eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Mr. Theodore, you must save me! I’ve always been your loyal subordinate. Please, you can’t treat me like this.”

However, Theodore ignored Kian’s wailing and waved for the armed guards to take Kian away.

Soon, a vehicle from the supervisory department appeared before the city hall. The staff got out and loaded Kian into the car, capturing the attention of journalists who immediately broadcasted it as breaking news.

Back at the hospital lobby, Robert looked smug as he sneered, “Kenneth, you should apologize to Mr. Kian as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll lose your position as the city’s mayor.”

Kenneth scoffed before putting his hands behind his back and composing himself. He retorted, “You can’t intimidate me, Robert. I’ve led an upright life and have never done anything that goes against my conscience.”

Robert laughed and said, “Fine, you may be upright, but you dared to re

    Robert paled with shock as he looked up and stared at Xayne. He trembled while asking, “Was that your doing? How could you have so much power?”Xayne scoffed and retorted, “Do you have anything left to say now, Robert? Would you like to call the Ambani family again?”His words struck Robert, and the latter pulled out his phone to call Joseph, “Mr. Joseph! There must be a misunderstanding. They took Mr. Kian away to the supervisory department. What should I do?”Robert was utterly panicked as he had never imagined facing such an unfortunate day.‘Won’t I face decades of imprisonment if this happens?’Joseph mirrored Robert’s shock at the other end of the line. The former asked, “What did you just say?! Are you sure?”Robert felt like crying but had no tears, saying, “Yes, I am! It’s already on the news, Mr. Joseph. What should we do?”Joseph was at a loss since Kian’s arrest was too sudden. He figured Kian must have committed a serious offense.“Robert, you better tell me who yo

    Xayne’s cold and indifferent response urged Joseph to rush to Shalholm to see who was on the other end of the call.‘This bastard is arrogant to disregard me, the head of the Ambani family. People know me as the Miracle Healer, damn it!’“My friend, though I don’t know much about you, the fact that you know Donovan and Kenneth suggests you possess some authority. It’s better to resolve conflicts than to escalate them. Why don’t we discuss this?“Why resort to drastic measures that lead to death or injury? My family will owe you if you release Robert and the Hugos. If you and your family encounter future troubles or illnesses, feel free to seek my help. Does that sound good?” Joseph persisted.However, to his surprise, Xayne remained silent momentarily before saying, “You make a compelling point.”Joseph could not help but smile faintly at his response. The former walked around his yard, saying, “Of course. I’m a medical practitioner myself—”Before he could finish, Xayne interrup

    Donovan was just as shocked as everyone else. Although he knew Xayne had a unique identity, trying to contact Stephen seemed too bold.Kenneth was in awe but remembered Xayne’s actual status a second later. With that, his worries faded away.‘Of course, the King of the North will always keep his word!’Xayne remained calm as he took his phone and called Stephen, asking, “Do you have an apprentice named Joseph Ambani?”Stephan was in Drakonix when he received Xayne’s call. The former excused himself from attending to a wealthy magnate and the mayor of Drakonix to answer the call, “Supreme Commander, why the sudden question? Yes, I have an apprentice with that name. He’s from the Ambani family in Tandu.”Stephen was in his seventies with a ruddy complexion and robust physique. Although his hair and beard showed traces of gray, they did not hide his righteousness.Xayne restrained his hanger out of respect for Stephen and said, “I don’t like him. Please warn him that I will take act

    Cold sweat formed on Joseph’s forehead when Stephen ended the call.‘How could I have known that Xayne is the King of the North who saved my master’s life? I-I’ve just offended the King of the North!’Joseph felt like he had dug his own grave and hurriedly called Robert.Meanwhile, Robert and the other two mocked Xayne, Kenneth, and Donovan, “You were way too arrogant! Joseph might be one of Stephen’s apprentices, but he’s also a renowned doctor in Tandu. People know him as the Miracle Healer!”“Yeah, he treats high-ranking officials and mayors. He even has connections in Drakonix. You must be delusional if you think you can contact Stephen,” Robert’s voice dripped with sarcasm. Although he thought his life was over earlier, he had regained his confidence.Caspian and Wyatt added, “Hahaha, that’s right. This guy needs to know his limits. He shouldn’t force himself to be something he’s not, or he’ll get a harsh reality check. You guys are done, especially Xayne and Kenneth.”Xayne

    “I-Isn’t that Joseph Ambani, the head of the top family in Tandu?! He’s Stephen Selby’s apprentice, yet he’s kneeling and begging for Xayne’s mercy!”Robert’s mind went blank, and he felt like the world was spinning. His body went limp, and he fell to his knees before a puddle of yellow liquid seeped from his pants. He was so scared that he peed on himself.Caspian and Wyatt were flustered as their faces paled. After all, Xayne had contacted Stephen and even made the head of the Ambani family kneel. The father-son duo were utterly terrified.Meanwhile, Joseph’s voice echoed through the video call, “Mr. Xayne, Robert is worthless and deserves any punishment you see fit. However, I implore you to reconsider for mine and my master’s sake.“Caspian’s daughter has married into my family. Please show mercy and spare the Hugos, Mr. Xavier.”Xayne frowned and glanced at the father-son duo. Immediately after, Caspian and Wyatt crawled to Xayne and repeatedly banged their heads on the groun

    Ethan grew excited as he pushed Sophia’s hand and hurried forward, shoving Xayne aside with a curse, “Move it, scum!”Then he extended both hands and smiled. “Mr. Kenneth, I never expected to see you here. Hello, I’m Ethan Brown, son of the president of Brown Corporation. My dad is Seth Brown. Do you remember having dinner with us?”Kenneth frowned and nodded once in response without shaking Ethan’s hand.‘How dare he shove Xayne like that? Is he looking for trouble? Didn’t he see how Xayne removed Robert and Kian from their positions? Even Joseph knelt before Xayne.’Ethan was embarrassed but quickly caught on and turned to Donovan. With a similar attitude and a hint of fear, he said, “Mr. Donovan, I’m Ethan, the son of the president of Brown Corporation. I—”Smack!Before he could finish, Donovan slapped him. The latter widened his eyes and roared, “How dare you push Mr…”Xayne frowned, and Donovan noticed, so he corrected himself, “What Brown Corporation? Get lost!”The sudd

    Serena and Coco knelt on the cold tile floor, enduring the Swifts’ scolding.Tim was outraged, with his bruises still apparent. He pointed at Serena and thundered, “Look at the mess Xayne has caused! Our family has offended the Lennings. Tell me, what do you expect us to do now?”Vivian had dark circles around her eyes as she scolded, “You’re a curse to this family! We wouldn’t have offended the Lennings if it weren’t for you and Xayne. That’s Adrian’s family. If we upset the soon-to-be Lieutenant, our family will be in hot water.”Serena held her frightened daughter and looked at Eric, who sat on the high chair. The older man had a bandage wrapped around his head. Serena said, “Grandpa, it was all my fault. I beg you to forgive us. Xayne didn’t intentionally offend the Lennings. He was just—”"Hmph!" Eric scoffed and slammed his cane on the floor. He scolded, “Don’t bother pleading for that useless guy. If he cared, he wouldn’t have let you two return alone. That good-for-nothing

    The Swifts turned to the source of the voice and saw Xayne storming in. His face was flushed with anger as he shoved the servants aside. "Serena, Coco, are you two okay?"Xayne hurried over, knelt on one knee, and shielded the frightened Serena and Coco.Serena’s face was tear-stained as she shook her head. She wanted to say something, but her words failed her and became sorrowful sobs instead.Coco clung to her father and sobbed, “Grandpa wants to send Mommy and me to the Lenning family. I’m scared, Daddy. I don’t want to go there. I just want to be with you and Mommy!”Xayne caressed her face and stood up, his expression exuding a chilling aura. He glared at Eric and said, “I’ve said it before, Eric. I’ll handle the Lennings. Is all this necessary?”He was furious, and his frigid gaze could terrify anyone. After all, Xayne possessed exceptional skills and was no ordinary man.Eric was alarmed by Xayne’s terrifying aura. The former slammed the table, causing the teacups to jump

    "There are more than thirty of them?" Xayne's heart pounded. That meant there were people even stronger than Horin."They're all waiting... waiting for the Ruins of the Dragon Clan to surface. 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
