Chapter 382
Author: Blanco Burn
Siegel slammed his head against the uneven floor, causing it to bleed.

Xayne watched indifferently and said, “I’ll spare you, but you must reveal your backers.”

He knew Siegel must have some real power to maintain control here for so long. Since that was the case, the latter must have influential figures on his side. Since Siegel was here, Xayne decided to uproot the problem at its source.

“T-That’s…” Siegel stammered.

After all, it was a serious matter that involved people’s lives.

Martin detested criminal forces and the people supporting them. He added, “Who are you trying to protect at this point, Siegel? Speak now!”

After some hesitation, Siegel finally responded, “Sirs, you must apprehend my supporter if I betray him. Otherwise, he’ll kill all my friends and my men.”

Xayne’s voice turned even colder, “Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate with me?”

Siegel knew he was at the end of his rope. He took out his phone and called someone, “Bart, it’s me, Siegel. I ran in

    Martin, hiding in a nearby breakfast joint, strode out. His combat boots clacked against the ground as he glared at Bartholo and his crew.Bartholo narrowed his eyes upon seeing Martin, a hint of surprise and coldness flashing in the former’s eyes. 'What’s Martin doing here?' He glanced at Martin, then at Siegel. Suddenly, Bartholo kicked Siegel and shouted, “You’re setting me up?! Did you think I wouldn’t kill you for this?”Bartholo pulled a pistol from his waist, cocked it, and aimed at Siegel. The latter was terrified as he wet his pants, begging, “I’m sorry, Bartholo. I didn’t mean to do this. M-Major General Martin told me to do this—”“Enough! How dare you pull your gun before me? Don’t you respect your superior officer?” Martin was furious.‘Bart is out of control. I never thought he’d gather thugs and engage in illegal activities. It’s unforgivable!’Bartholo holstered his gun and squinted. He looked at Martin indifferently and declared, “While you may outrank me, I’m

    Bartholo burst into disdainful laughter. “Are you trying to scare me, Martin? If he’s the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains, I’m the king of the world.”“Hahaha! Bartholo’s right. If that kid’s a Supreme Commander, pigs can fly.”“You’re quite the joker, Major General Martin. Why would you let a random person on the street impersonate a Supreme Commander? That’s a severe offense, you know.”“Bartholo, don’t waste time with them. I’ll call for backup.”Bartholo’s henchmen joined in the mockery. One took his phone and called headquarters, “Gather the crew and head to Western Petrea’s breakfast street. That’s Bartholo’s order. It’s showtime, boys!”Martin was outraged when he heard the mockery directed at Xayne. The former released a fierce aura, shouting, “You’ve lost all sense of decency, Bartholo! How dare you mock the Supreme Commander? Do you have rocks for a brain?”However, Bartholo remained unfazed. He grinned and retorted, “All right, Major General Martin. You don’t

    Bartholo paused and turned to frown at Xayne. The former rebuked, "Martin Hamilton, quit trying to fool me with this nonsense! You're just looking for an excuse to arrest me and use it to threaten my brother, aren't you?"Did Linford put you up to this? I knew it! Linford has been itching to get at the Womacks for a while now! I never thought he'd trap me today."Martin, you should know who my father is! He is the former Chief Military Strategist at headquarters and had many disciples in Venzor. Crossing my family will end with you getting skinned alive."Martin smirked. "Who ends up skinned will become clear soon. Take him away!"Several soldiers moved to apprehend Barholo and his men. Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the end of the street, “Who dares to arrest my brother?!”A flurry of urgent footsteps approached, growing louder and nearer. A group of over a hundred soldiers charged in, led by a man with a shining Lieutenant insignia on his shoulders. The lead figure was

    Benedict glared at Xayne and growled, “You have a death wish, don’t you?”“Maybe,” Xayne calmly replied.Benedict roared, "You're asking for it!"He lunged forward to punch Xayne. The force from this punch could knock down a bull in one blow. Next month, Benedict would head to the capital for intense training and trials. He was among the top five most skilled fighters in the Southside District. Ordinary men and regular soldiers under his command would not last.Bartholo grinned as he watched Benedict strike at Xayne. The former even imagined his brother sending Xayne flying with a single punch. Even Martin exclaimed, “How dare you, Benedict! Do you realize who he—”To everyone’s surprise, Benedict’s iron fist halted just before Xayne’s face, unable to move an inch. Xayne had effortlessly caught Benedict’s fist, shocking everyone.The seemingly unremarkable young man had just stopped Benedict’s attack. The latter grew frustrated as his eyes turned bloodshot. He swung his left fi

    Benedict glared at Xayne and roared, “What did you just say, punk? Have you lost your mind? Do you think you can show off just because Martin’s here?”Xayne remained calm as he stood there with his hands behind his back. He shook his head and replied, “I don’t need any backup because there’s no one with a stronger backbone than me.”He exuded an overbearing aura as he spoke. It swept through the entire street, causing the onlookers to shiver.Benedict widened his eyes and gulped.‘What an incredible aura.’Benedict was terrified when he recalled how Xayne had blocked his two punches and sent him flying. Cold sweat formed on Benedict’s head as he glanced at Martin. The latter had been standing behind Xayne silently the whole time, displaying his respect for Xayne.‘Does this kid have an extraordinary background?’After some thought, Benedict shouted angrily, "I'd like to see if your backbone is as strong as you claim! Even if you have some status, no one dares lay a finger on me,

    Half an hour later, a group of cars appeared at the breakfast street.Thud! Doors swung open as several elderly men stepped out. Their presence was commanding, and their strides firm. Steven and his group respectfully saluted, their expressions filled with reverence.Benedict and Bartholo lit up with excitement when they saw their father."Dad, over here!""Dad, please make them release us!"Steven pointed at Martin and reprimanded, “You’ve overstepped for arresting my sons. Who gave you the authority to do that?”Although Martin was displeased, he dared not go against Steven. After all, the latter was a former Chief Military Strategist and Novice Warrior. Moreover, his comrades were Novice and Graduate Warriors who had sacrificed much for Drakonia.Martin could only bow and apologize, “Sir, your sons have broken the law. I must bring them in for investigation—”“What law did they break? Let’s see if you dare to take them away.” Steven exuded a fierce aura as his comrades fol

    Steven gazed arrogantly at Xayne, saying, "It's best to resolve conflicts than to escalate them, young man. Many heed my words in Venzor. How about we drink and discuss this matter?"However, Xayne coldly reprimanded, “Steven, you’re a retired individual who has cultivated a sinister influence in Venzor under the guise of a hero. You even defend your sons’ misconduct. The evidence of these crimes is enough to put you away for decades.”Steven laughed, “Hahaha, who would dare put me away? You, Martin, and Linford? If any of you lay a finger on me, all of Venzor will shake. How dare you threaten me? You’re overestimating yourself.”Soon after, there was a commotion in the crowd. A furious roar echoed, “You’re out of control, Steven! When Mr. Xayne said he’ll detain you, no one can save you. Men, apprehend Steven and the others.”The crowd turned and saw Linford leading soldiers over. The soldiers quickly sealed off the surrounding streets. They even prohibited all vehicles and pedest

    As Coco’s words fell, Serena looked at Xayne in puzzlement and asked, “What’s going on? Supreme Commander? Bad guys?”Xayne chuckled, “Coco, don’t say things like that. Daddy was just playing pretend.”Serena sighed in relief while Coco pouted and mumbled, “But there were so many people…”“All right, sweety, let’s not say such things next time, okay?” Serena affectionately patted her daughter’s head and prepared to leave after breakfast.Xayne watched her with concern and asked, “What’s the hurry? Is something happening at the company?”Serena bent over to wear her high heels, unintentionally displaying her curves to Xayne. She replied, “Yeah, some materials arrived for the company. I need to go to the government office to inspect them.”Xayne nodded and escorted her out. Since their car was still in the shop, Serena had been taking the bus to work. Meanwhile, Coco looked at Xayne and asked, “Daddy, why’d you lie to Mommy just now?”Xayne picked up Coco. "I didn't lie to Mommy,

    "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
