Ritchie stood with his hands behind his back as he looked at Cornelius with an intense gaze."Deputy Mayor Cornelius, you sure like throwing your weight around, don't you?" he said icily. Cornelius felt a jolt of panic in his chest. He quickly wiped the cold sweat forming on his forehead."Commander Ritchie, you must be joking. I was just helping Chief Faust arrest a criminal. This madman dared to attack the police, and he even hurt the chief!" Cornelius's voice grew louder. "Now that you're here, why don't you lend us a hand and arrest this arrogant thug?"At this point, Cornelius was not worried about why Ritchie had shown up.In his mind, the most important thing was taking down Xayne. He had attacked his nephew and even injured the police.However, Ritchie let out a cold snort."Deputy Mayor Cornelius, I'm afraid things won't go your way." He turned to his soldiers and commanded, "Arrest Cornelius !"At his order, several armed soldiers rushed forward, grabbing Cornelius a

Lincoln, with Lisa beside him, smiled and nodded as he watched Xayne leave.Lisa tugged at her grandfather's sleeve as she pouted, "Grandpa, you knew he was the King of the North, didn’t you? Why didn’t you tell me? I embarrassed myself in front of him... Ah, I could just die from shame!"Lincoln chuckled at his granddaughter’s antics. He had long since grown accustomed to her mischievous nature.Now, seeing her shy and embarrassed was something new. 'Girls really do grow up fast,' he thought with a sigh.Back at his villa, Xayne found himself deep in thought about the Light Order.The Ten Lords of Light were all Divine Commander-level warriors, with the weakest among them being a Tri-Divine Commander. Even more terrifying were the Six Elysium Lords from the Elysium Clan, all of whom were divine beings. Their power was so immense that they could practically walk unchallenged in this world.As for the founder of the Light Order, the Creator, the mere thought of him was terrify

Upon hearing those words, Xayne chuckled. As expected, he had not misjudged this man. Elias was someone with real potential.After thinking for a moment, Xayne said, "Good. Listen carefully to Elias's orders, and make sure to follow them strictly! No hazing the new recruits!"Ace replied, "Don't worry, Commander. Commander Elias is already part of the crew. But, Commander, when are you coming back? The guys miss you."Xayne sighed with a hint of hesitation. "Protecting the country is your duty. If there's nothing else, I'm done now."With that, Xayne ended the call.He sat back on the couch, gazing out the window as his thoughts drifted far away.'Who knows if I'll ever get back to the Northern Plains in this lifetime? Those familiar faces, those loyal soldiers... Will I ever see them again?'At that moment, Serena pushed open the door and walked in. Upon seeing Xayne's expression, she asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong? You don't seem happy."Xayne smiled faintly. "It's

The disciple standing next to the old master flared with anger the moment he saw Xayne's defiance. He pointed at Xayne and shouted, "Kid. Do you have any idea who you're talking to? This is the Seventh Elder of Healers Valley, and you dare show such disrespect?"Sure, you used to be the King of the North, but now you're nothing more than a civilian without a title. What right do you have to stand on equal ground with our elder?"Hearing this, Xayne frowned. His sharp gaze shifted to the young men standing behind the Seventh Elder.He sneered as he replied coldly, "From what I'm hearing, should I be bowing in their presence?""Well, no need for that," one of the young men said, arms crossed and arrogance written all over his face. "A simple bow and tea offering will do.""I see." Xayne nodded. Suddenly, a chilling light flashed in his eyes. Without warning, needles flew from his palm.In a split second, the sharp needles pierced the knees of the arrogant young man who had spoken.

The Seventh Elder chuckled. "Exactly. Working with Healers Valley is a blessing for you. It's the only way your company will ever grow."Xayne, you'd better think this through. Healers Valley dominates the pharmaceutical industry in Drakonia. We control, if not 80%, at least 60% of the market and all its key players."In Drakonia's medical field, our word is law. If you refuse this partnership, with just one order from me, Healers Valley will blacklist Serena Group. You won't be able to get a single ounce of medicinal supplies within the country."His words dripped with menace, and the threat was clear.Xayne frowned, his expression darkening.Beside him, Serena, who had been listening quietly, couldn't contain her anger any longer. She snapped, "Old man, I know you're here on behalf of Healers Valley to discuss cooperation, but I don't see any sincerity in your cooperation. Do you think you can bully us just because you represent Healers Valley? Even if my husband agreed, I would

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Xayne asked with a teasing smile.Serena shot him a look. "No, I'm just worried. It's not just about us anymore. There are shareholders, employees, and a lot of people depending on this company."Xayne nodded thoughtfully. "I get it. But don't worry, whatever comes, we'll handle it. Let them throw what they want at us."Serena nodded but stayed quiet, the concern still visible in her eyes.Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical market in Folksworth was thrown into chaos. Companies, trade associations, and executives had all been called into an emergency meeting.The Healers Valley blacklist was real.Serena Group was being cut off."How did this happen so suddenly? Did Serena Group offend Healers Valley?""No clue. The blacklist came out of nowhere, and Healers Valley made it clear, anyone who works with Serena Group gets blacklisted too.""What do we do? We have ongoing contracts with Serena. Are we supposed to cut ties just like that?"The meeting ro

"Action? What kind of action?"The leader of Dispenza Circle was baffled. Healers Valley controlled most of the medicinal supply chains in Drakonia. Without cooperating with them, there was no way anyone could secure resources. He couldn't see any other way forward, but he didn't dare to question Xayne.Xayne calmly placed the phone back on the table, completely unfazed.Three hours after Healers Valley's blacklist was issued, another bombshell rocked Folksworth and the pharmaceutical industry in Drakonia.One of the world's top three pharmaceutical giants, United Med, announced that it would be selecting a new business partner in Folksworth, Drakonia.United Med dominated over 60% of Newcroa and Western markets, with a trillion-dollar empire in its grasp. It was a behemoth, an uncontested titan in the field of medicine.Even the top ten pharmaceutical companies in Drakonia had ties to United Med. The nation's pharmaceutical export industry was largely influenced by them.As

The Seventh Elder spoke with confidence."Understood."Lionel quickly ordered his secretary to contact the heads of various pharmaceutical companies and instructed them to meet the Seventh Elder at Skyvilla Pavilion.Just then, an emergency news broadcast interrupted the TV show playing in the room. The announcement came from Serena Group, explicitly naming Healers Valley's Seventh Elder and demanding that he come to their headquarters within two days to kneel and apologize.The Seventh Elder spat out the tea he had just sipped, his face turning an ugly shade of purple. He threw his teacup furiously at the television.The TV screen cracked, sending out a puff of black smoke.Behind him, three young men clenched their jaws, bristling with anger. "Seventh Elder, Serena is already at death's door, and yet she still dares to act so arrogantly. Let us go teach her a lesson."The Seventh Elder turned his sharp gaze on them, and the three young men, recognizing his displeasure, quickly

"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
Chapter 2686
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
Chapter 2684
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
Chapter 2682
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
