Chapter 396
Author: Blanco Burn
Everyone in the room was shocked.

Tim asked, “Military trucks? Where’d they come from?”

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances and shook their heads. Just then, Serena remembered her earlier phone call with Xayne. He had mentioned having a few friends in Venzor who could provide alternative materials.

'Was this what he was referring to?’

Serena timidly explained, "Uncle Tim, Xayne said he knows some friends in Venzor who might have alternative materials. He said they could deliver them to our factory."

Tim narrowed his eyes upon hearing that. He asked, “Xayne? Hah, who can he possibly know?”

Tim strode out of the factory area and headed to the parking lot. The high-ranking members of the Swift Group and the factory personnel followed. As expected, they saw five military trucks parked at the gate, each guarded by soldiers.

Tim and the others were in utter awe. None of them had ever witnessed anything like it. Tim welcomed the soldiers smilingly. He bowed with clasped hands, saying,

    Tim snatched the inspection report from Serena's and looked through it. He nodded and said, "Excellent! Our project won't face any delays with these military factory materials and the quality inspection report. Serena, you should send a batch for testing at the municipal office."Before Serena could reply, Tim ordered the workers to move the materials into the factory for processing. Then, Serena instructed a few employees to load a batch of materials onto a truck and head to the municipal office.During the drive, Serena called Xayne, asking, "Did you get the materials from the military factory?"Xayne casually responded, "Yes, I did. Is there a problem with the materials?"Relieved, Serena shook her head and said, "No, not at all. I was just surprised that your friends could know people from the Venzor military factory. Do you know what a big favor you've done for me?“With these materials and the military factory's quality inspection report, I'm sure Fredrick from the municipal

    Chandler answered the call with a grin, "Mr. Fredrick, how's everything?"Fredrick sat in his office with his legs on the desk. He chuckled. "Mr. Chandler, I got it covered."Chandler laughed. "Of course, Mr. Fredrick. I know your capabilities well. Is there something you need, sir?"Fredrick grinned mischievously, "It's not urgent, just… Hehe… Mr. Chandler, you should understand that I'm not after money. However, those ladies you sent me last night were something else. I was wondering if you could… You know…"Chandler understood and chuckled. "Mr. Fredrick, rest assured. Same place, same room tonight. Someone will be waiting for you."Fredrick put his feet down and nodded. "All right, excellent! I'm at ease now. Hahaha. Okay, you can go about your business now. I won't disturb you."He slyly smiled as he recalled the five women from last night. He wished he could leave work immediately. However, a glance at the clock showed it was still early. After some thought, he pulled a few

    Serena stood her ground with three employees. Her face reddened as she argued with the inspection team, "Why do you have the right to stop us from inspecting?"They brought the materials over but were denied entry for inspection."Ms. Serena is right! How can you do this?""Where's Fredrick? Tell him to come out!"The three employees behind Serena joined in the protest. However, the inspection team remained indifferent as they looked at Serena and her team. "Cut the chatter and leave now. The machines broke down today, so we can't conduct inspections now. Come back tomorrow!"Suddenly, a boss from a neighboring area with a few workers and materials appeared. They handed some cigarettes to the inspection team, and the latter let them in. Seeing this, Serena was outraged. "How come you let them in for inspection? You're deliberately making things difficult for us. I demand to see Fredrick!" Serena was not one to always be passive. She knew the inspection team was deliberately

    Serena cautiously glanced at the tea and refrained from drinking it. She apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Frederick. I don’t like tea very much.”Fredrick dropped his smile and sat across from her. His voice turned cold, "What's this, Ms. Serena? Are you looking down on me? You don't even want to take a sip? In that case, we won't need to inspect those materials after all."Serena quickly smiled. "Mr. Fredrick, it's not what you think, I..."Without further hesitation, she took a small sip.Seeing Serena drink from the cup, Fredrick relaxed. His gaze grew more intense as he stood up and sat beside Serena. He reached for her delicate hand, chuckling, "Ms. Serena, do you know why the previous batch of materials didn't pass inspection?"Serena was startled by Fredrick's boldness, quickly pulling her hand away. She stood up and said, "Mr. Fredrick, please show some restraint. If you persist, I'll leave."Fredrick chuckled, unaffected by Serena's resistance. He said, "Ms. Serena, we're adu

    Fredrick would never let Serena go. It was a perfect opportunity to sleep with Serena. He produced the inspection report and presented it to her, declaring, “Look, it's not up to standard. The new materials you sent are subpar.”Of course, it was a fake report he had made.Serena was in disbelief, exclaiming, “How’s that possible? Mr. Fredrick, these materials are from Venzor's military factory. I even brought the official quality inspection report. These materials exceed the market standard by 20%!"She was utterly dumbfounded.Fredrick squinted in disbelief and asked, "Military materials? Serena, who are you trying to fool? How can your modest family obtain materials from the military?"Serena mustered her strength and retrieved the inspection report from her bag. Fredrick hastily examined it, finding it to be true. It even had the Venzor Military Theatre seal. It made him flustered.He never imagined she could secure materials from the military factory.‘That’s impossible!’

    “Xayne…” Serena felt drained as she lay on the sofa, looking aggrieved and frightened.Xayne knelt before her and covered her with a blanket. He comforted her, "It's okay. I'm here now."He noticed something wrong with Serena as he spoke. Her complexion was flushed as sweat covered her face. Even her breath came in rapid gasps. Then, he saw the teacup on the table. He sniffed it and detected a faint scent of a powdered substance.A bone-chilling rage consumed Xayne as his eyes widened. He reached into his waistband and removed several silver needles from it. He inserted them into Serena's throat and a few critical acupoints on her head.Thirty seconds later, Serena expelled the tea she had ingested while sweating profusely.Xayne seldom displayed his medical skills. After all, he rarely needed to intervene with three renowned miracle doctors in Shalholm. However, Xayne's medical expertise was second to none within the five military districts.As the Supreme Commander of the North

    Fredrick grew dreadful as the man before appeared to be a battle-hardened warrior. Fear overwhelmed Fredrick when Xayne approached.Frederick stepped back, shouting, “What… What do you want?! Who do you think you are? You’re in the municipal office. I am Fredrick Grant, a high-ranking official.”Xayne closed the distance step by step, his fist clenched. "I’m Serena's husband, Xayne Xavier."Suddenly, he struck Fredrick’s eye. Immediately after, the latter’s eye turned purple, and he howled pitifully. “Gah! You're that good-for-nothing brat. You've gone too far. How dare you strike me? I will never approve Serena’s materials!"Xayne chuckled, "Mr. Fredrick, your authority in the municipal office is pretty extensive. Do you even respect the chief judge of the municipal office?""Nonsense! The chief judge is my brother-in-law. When I speak, he listens." Fredrick covered his injured eye as he grimaced at Xayne. “It’s over for you and your wife! I won't back down unless you compensate

    The shift in Kenneth's attitude left the various officers shocked. They were surprised that Kenneth, the mayor of Shalholm, had shown such respect toward the caller. The officers knew not to take the caller lightly."Kenneth, is the municipal office’s chief officer in the meeting with you?" Xayne asked indifferently.Kenneth shuddered and looked at Nathan. The former nodded, saying, "He's here, Mr. Xayne. May I ask if something has happened?"Nathan trembled as he sat amongst the others. He wondered if the call was related to him.Meanwhile, Xayne stared at Fredrick before him. Xayne spoke into the phone, “I'm at the municipal office. My wife brought two batches of materials for inspection, but they rejected both."Kenneth sighed in relief, knowing it was a manageable issue. He smiled, saying, “Mr. Xayne, you know each unit has its rules. I can't intervene in the municipality's work. If your wife's materials failed the inspection, I can help her with another batch to meet the crit

    "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
