Chapter 350
Author: Blanco Burn
Xayne said smilingly, “It’s nothing. You should continue resting.”

Serena responded with a hum but could not fall back to sleep. Instead, she asked, “Xayne, can you talk with me for a while? I can’t sleep.”

Xayne nodded and sat by her bedside, smiling. "Of course."

The two conversed for the next half an hour. Gradually, Serena fell asleep. Xayne covered her with her blanket and left the ward soon after.

Later that night, a stern-faced Ace and a worried Harold stood outside the ward. Ace stepped forward when he saw Xayne, asking, “Supreme Commander, we didn’t wake Madam, did we?”

Xayne shook his head and then turned to Harold. “Have you cleared everything?”

Harold handed three blood-stained photos to Xayne, saying, “Yes, sir. However, we found something on the assassins.”

Xayne looked at the photos solemnly as a dangerous aura emanated from him. Indeed, the assassins were targeting him, Serena, and Coco. He asked, “Any other leads?”

Harold shook his head. "Not yet. We have foota

    The two assassins met their end. The masked man sneered at the assassins lying in a pool of blood, eyes widened. He scoffed and spat, “Worthless, incompetent fools! I have to do everything myself.”He doused the abandoned villa with gas and flicked a lighter. Immediately after, the villa turned into an inferno with a resounding whoosh. The masked man stood at the entrance for a while before driving away.The following day, Xayne received a call from Harold as he sat by Serena and Coco’s bedside. Harold reported, “Sir, someone set a villa in Shalholm’s outskirts ablaze. We recovered two male bodies at the scene. They were likely involved in the attempted assassination.”“All right, I’ll be there soon,” Xayne replied and hung up the phone.Serena looked at him curiously and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”Xayne smiled. “It’s nothing. Some friends of mine found out I’m back and want to discuss something with me.”Serena only nodded.Xayne quickly left the hospital and

    Although Xayne could not understand why the attractive policewoman harbored such resentment, he did not intend to argue with her. He simply offered a faint smile and stood there quietly.Harold rushed over from a distance. He was anxious when he saw the policewoman blocking Xayne. He bowed to Xayne, saying, “Mr. Xayne, you’re here.”Xayne nodded but said nothing. Meanwhile, Frances was startled when Harold came to greet Xayne. She did not know who that man was, but he had an extraordinary presence.‘This guy got Harol here with a single phone call.’Xayne glanced at Frances, standing in his way, and asked, “May I go in now?”Frances was flustered, unsure of what to say. On the other hand, Harold looked at her sternly and said, “Frances, step aside!”“Huh? Oh!” Frances quickly stepped aside and lifted the police tape.Xayne entered with the smiling Harold. The latter said, “Please go ahead, sir. Mr. Ace hasn’t arrived yet.”Xayne nodded and approached the burnt villa.Meanwhile

    At that moment, Ace and four soldiers in military uniforms approached."Attention!""Salute!"Ace sternly reported, “Sir, these four are colleagues from the intelligence department. They rushed here overnight from the Northern Plains.”Each of the four soldiers held a silver briefcase. They stood at attention and saluted, “Supreme Commander, sir!”Xayne nodded. "Let's begin.""Yes, sir!" The four soldiers opened the silver briefcases and began extracting evidence from the scene.Harold smiled as he observed them, saying, “Mr. Xayne, though we belong to different divisions, our capabilities are similar. There aren’t valuable clues left here. You might be wasting your time.”Xayne gazed at Harold indifferently. “Chief Harold, sometimes there are leads you can’t uncover. We can help with that.”Harold shivered. Although he smiled, he still felt doubtful. After all, he had faith in the personnel from his division. Even those investigating the leads could not help but feel resentme

    Xayne tensed up and coldly replied, “Who is this? Don’t touch my wife and child! I’m coming now!”His murderous aura swept through the scene. Suddenly, Ace sprinted toward Xayne. He saw the look in Xayne’s eyes and asked, “Sir, what happened?”Xayne hung up with a frown. “They’ve taken action. They’re holding Serena and Coco hostage at the hospital!”He got into the Jeep, started the engine, and stepped on the gaze. The vehicle roared as it sped off. The commotion caught the nearby officers’ attention, including Frances. She blinked and pursed her lips in confusion.Meanwhile, Ace ran toward the approaching Harold and shouted furiously, “Chief Harold? How did your men fail to secure the hospital?!”Ace’s anger resembled a raging storm that shook Harold to his core. The latter bowed, asking, “Sir, what happened?! Mr. Xayne—”Ace scoffed, his eyes bloodshot as he exuded chilling air. He glared at Harold and roared, “If anything happens to Madam and the young missus, you will answer

    “Dammit, no wonder those five losers failed. So, you’re the mastermind behind last night. So what if you dodged a bullet? Can you dodge them all? Prepare to die!” The assassin unleashed a barrage of shots at Xayne.Clang! Clang! Clang!Xayne raised his hand as soon as the assassin fired. The former shot several throwing needles with a flick of his wrist. Four intercepted the bullets, altering the bullets’ trajectory.As a Supreme Commander, Xayne possessed unrivaled speed and strength. Skills like using throwing needles were second nature to him. Stephen had forged Xayne’s thirty-six Spirit Needles with steel. They could even pierce through steel plates.Stephen had specifically gifted them to Xayne, intending to teach him the art of acupuncture. The former had imparted all of his medical expertise to Xayne. Although Xayne did not use these skills often, he always carried the thirty-six Spirit Needles.They were not only for saving lives but also formidable weapons. Xayne had also

    Xayne looked at the panic and frightened Serena. He crouched and gently held her ice-cold hand, saying tenderly, “Don’t overthink it. Remember that I served in the military as a special forces soldier. Dealing with people like him is simple.”Serena sighed in relief upon hearing this. Still, her eyes showed a lingering fear as she asked, “Who was that person? What did he mean five years ago? Do you have a history with him?”Xayne frowned as he said, “I’m not sure, but I’ll find out.”At that moment, several patrol officers approached and presented their badges to Xayne. One said, “Sir, could you cooperate with our investigation, please? We have a few questions to ask.”Serena grew anxious, but Xayne had already risen. He turned to the patrol officers and said, “All right, let's go over there.”Xayne patted Serena’s shoulder. “I’ll be right back.”"Okay." Serena nodded, watching as Xayne left with the patrol officers.Once out of earshot, the lead officer said, "Mr. Xayne, are yo

    With an enemy lurking in the dark, Xayne felt a growing concern for Serena and Coco.Ace arrived, asking, “Sir, are you okay?”Xayne’s expression was cold and determined as he looked at Ace. “I’m fine. There’s no longer a need to investigate the fire. From now on, you’ll stay with Serena and Coco to ensure their safety. The enemy will strike again.“Yes, sir!” Ace responded resolutely.When Xayne returned to Serena’s side, she looked at him worriedly. “How are you? They didn’t harm you, did they?”She was concerned, knowing Xayne had killed someone, even if it was to save her. Xayne smiled reassuringly and shook his head, saying, “It’s okay. They’ve sorted everything out. That man was a wanted criminal who had taken over twenty lives.“He was desperate and took you two hostage to escape. I’ve served this country, so they wanted to commend me for bravery, but I declined.”Serena sighed in relief upon hearing Xayne’s cheerful explanation. She playfully glared at him and said, “Don

    Sophia trembled upon hearing her father’s words. She nervously asked, “What are you suggesting, Dad?”Tim said lowly, “Did you watch the news just now? If we scare Serena a little or injure her child, they’ll have to stay in the hospital longer. Then, we’ll have full control over the party. I believe even Chuck can’t do anything about it.” Tim smirked at the end. He had just thought of this scheme.‘It’s seamless and will leave no trace.’Sophia lit up with delight. “That’s a perfect plan! With that, the association will likely transfer the membership qualification to us. After all, Serena is injured and can’t sign the agreement. We only need to apply slight pressure on that little bitch.“We'll coax her into giving up the qualification. Then everything will be easy.” The more Sophia spoke, the brighter her smile became.Tim nodded in approval. "That's right, honey. I'll leave it to you. Remember, leave no traces. Find someone who's discreet and efficient. Don't hire those only

    "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
