Chapter 367
Author: Blanco Burn
Marianne scoffed disdainfully, “It’s funny to hear a useless man talk about making amends. How cute!”

Xayne’s expression darkened as he emanated a cold aura.

Violet rebuked, “Enough! Xayne, you have no say here, so just sit quietly. I’ll throw you out if you dare speak again.”

Xayne took a deep breath and tenderly glanced at Serena.

Violet said apologetically, “Marianne, don’t stoop to this useless person’s level.”

Marianne snorted and turned toward Serena. The former stood up with a glass of wine and approached Serena with a fake smile, saying, “Serena, long time no see. Let's have a toast, shall we?”

Serena did expect Marianne to offer her a toast. The former felt flustered and stood up. “Marianne, I can’t drink now—”

Before Serena could finish, Marianne splashed her wine on Serena, painting her clothes red. Marianne expressed fake concern, “Oh, I’m so sorry, Serena! I lost my balance. Are you okay?”

Serena was stunned as she took a deep breath, her eyes welling with tears. S

    Everyone in the room gasped in shock.‘How dare Xayne say Morris isn’t worthy of toasting with him?!’Though Morris was just a deputy, his role was equivalent to a high-ranking official at a county government in Shalholm. Even officials from the Shalholm Tax Bureau would nod in respect when meeting Morris.After all, taxes from Shalholm to the provincial city had to go through Morris. Moreover, he had connections and influence in the provincial city. Still, Xayne dared to reject his toast.Morris was furious. He slammed his glass onto the table, shouting, “Very well! Then I won’t drink this wine!”In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became heavy. Charise pointed at Xayne and reprimanded Violet, "What's with your son-in-law’s attitude? Does he look down on my husband?"Marianne added, "Serena, what's your husband trying to do? Is he picking a fight with us? We invited you for a meal out of courtesy, yet he behaves poorly. How dare he underestimate my family?”Violet

    Violet scolded Xayne, “You spineless bastard. Why don’t you apologize to Morris and Chandler?! Must we all suffer because of you?”Tony added, “Xayne, you’ve caused enough trouble. Apologize, now!”Xayne remained calm and indifferent. Immediately after, Violet and Tony turned their rebukes to Serena. Finally, Xayne helplessly raised his glass to Morris, saying, “I apologize for earlier, Uncle Morris. I hope you can overlook my mistake, sir.”Morris scoffed after finally regaining some dignity.Serena looked at Xayne with a hint of guilt and whispered, “I’m sorry. I caused all this.”Xayne smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’d give up everything for you. It was just an apology, so it’s no big deal.”Serena felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing that. However, the atmosphere in the private room remained awkward. Suddenly, Morris received a sudden call. After seeing the caller ID, he spoke into the phone with deference, “All right, I’ll go and greet him immediately.”Morris beamed when

    Morris and his family could not suppress their shock as Chuck hurried to shake Xayne’s hand. After all, Chuck was the wealthiest man in the city and a financial powerhouse who commanded respect in the city's economic circles.A figure of such caliber did not bother shaking hands with Morris yet was thrilled to greet Xayne instead. Morris and his family were devastated. They looked like they had forgotten to breathe as they watched Chuck’s interaction with Xayne.Meanwhile, Xayne held Coco in his arms and nodded. However, he did not shake Chuck’s hand. The scene shocked the others even more.Morris could feel beads of sweat forming on his head.‘How dare Xayne embarrass Chuck like that?!’Morris was so shocked that he had forgotten about Chuck’s disregard for him. Instead, the former rebuked Xayne, “What are you doing, you idiot?! Mr. Chuck wanted to shake your hand, yet that’s how you respond?!”The others only regained their senses after hearing Morris’s furious shout.Chandler

    Xayne held Coco as he said, “Apologizing to me won’t suffice. You owe my wife and her family an apology.”Marianne grew annoyed upon hearing Xayne’s words. She retorted, “Don’t push your luck, Xayne! We know you’re a nobody. Don’t assume having a connection to Mr. Chuck allows you to act recklessly.”Charise followed suit, “Who do you think you are to demand an apology from us? My son-in-law is the heir family. We can simply choose not to open a company in Shalholm.”Of course, she spoke out of anger, and Chandler would disagree with her.Xayne raised a brow and prepared to leave with the stunned Serena.Chuck followed closely after angrily scoffing, which made Morris panic. The latter slapped Marianne and reprimanded her, “Quiet! You’ve gone too far. How does offending Mr. Chuck benefit us? Apologize now!”The slap left Marianne in a daze. She looked at her father fearfully because he had never struck her before.“I-I’m sorry, Serena. I shouldn’t have spilled wine on you earlie

    “Everyone, out of the car! Now!” The leader, a tattooed brute, slammed his steel rod onto the car’s hood.Serena held Coco tightly, trembling. She asked, “Xayne, who are they? Should we call the police?”Xayne turned and smiled at Serena and Coco in the back seat. “It’s okay, I’ll handle it. You and Coco stay in the car but don’t get out no matter what you see. Understand?”Serena nodded. Her heart pounded as she watched Xayne leave the car. She could not help but say, “Be careful!”Coco clenched her fist and encouraged Xayne, “Go, Daddy!”Xayne smiled before pushing the car door open. It sent three thugs flying. They groaned as they fell into a nearby bush. Xayne calmly stepped out of the car and locked the door before lighting a cigarette and taking a drag.After exhaling the smoke, he asked, "Who sent you?"The thugs in the bush got up, grimacing in anger. One yelled, “Damn you, you little runt!”Another thug swung his baseball bat at Xayne’s head.Snap!Xayne caught the b

    “Ah! Run, it’s a ghost!”No one knew who shouted, but the remaining thugs dropped their weapons and bolted for their lives. They scrambled into the vans and stepped on the gas.The leader was the first to run. He squeezed his hefty self into the van and shouted desperately, “We ran into a tough one! Step on it!”However, his men saw a godly apparition with a chilling aura standing before the van. The leader sneered, “Run him over!”The van revved and hurtled toward Xayne. He remained composed as he faced the oncoming van without intending to move aside. To everyone’s shock, he punched the speeding van head-on.Boom! An explosion sounded as an immense impact crushed the front of the van. Due to inertia, the vehicle lifted off the ground. Inside the van, the tattooed thugs flew forward.Crash!The windshield shattered as three bloodied and mangled figures flew out. The driver’s body jammed against the windshield, rendering him unconscious. Meanwhile, the leader was half out of t

    In the heart of Shalholm, Fenton sat on a sofa in a small villa. He held a seductive lady wearing a bikini. She teased him, creating a sultry and alluring atmosphere.Fenton grinned as he took a drag from his cigar. He had a stack of cash on the coffee table, totaling over a hundred and fifty grand.“Hahaha, okay! Perfect!” Fenton hung up the phone, beaming with satisfaction. He looked at the piles of cash and grabbed the lady, firmly squeezing her. He chuckled and said, “I got you in my grasp tonight, babe.”"Oh my, Mr. Fenton, you're so naughty—"Boom! The villa’s front door flew open, the entire door frame exploding inward. The two guards at the entrance flew aside and crashed onto the ground. They coughed blood and fell unconscious.Soon after, a figure radiating a murderous aura stormed into the living room. Xayne glared at Fenton and said menacingly, “You’re Fenton?”Fenton snapped to attention. His anger flared as he yelled at Xayne, “Who the fuck are you?! How dare you

    "What's going on? Where are all my men?!" Fenton cursed in anger as he began to sweat."What's wrong, Mr. Fenton?" The lady at his side began to worry.Fenton mustered his courage and said, "It's nothing—probably just a bad signal."Then, he turned and stared at Xayne. With an icy tone, he asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"Xayne replied, "Were you the one who ordered the attack on my family?"Fenton finally realized who Xayne was. Fenton felt slightly relaxed as he plopped onto the sofa and continued smoking his cigar. He spread his arms and sneered, “Hahaha, I never thought it’d be you, Xayne. Since you found your way here, Chase and the others have failed.“It seems you're pretty skilled. How about you work for me? I promise you’ll have more money than you can spend and more women than you can handle. What do you say?” Fenton grinned at Xayne.Strangely, the former became interested in Xayne.Xayne smiled faintly. “I don’t think so. You’ve got it twisted, Fenton. I’m he

    "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
