Abner sighed in relief when he saw Henry leading the team. The former stood up and chuckled, saying, “Mr. Henry, you wouldn’t be pulling my leg, would you? I’m a law-abiding citizen, so this must be a joke.”Abner grinned and offered Henry a cigarette. However, Henry remained indifferent as he rejected the cigarette and said, “Mr. Abner, or rather, Abner, I’m not joking. You are currently under investigation for suspected misconduct. Please put aside your pretenses.”Abner’s expression darkened. He let out a forceful laugh and said, “Are you really going to investigate me, Mr. Henry? Are you sure you have the evidence to prove I’ve committed misconduct?”Henry had expected Abner’s response. The former took a report file from his assistant and slammed it onto the table, saying, “You still refuse to admit your wrongdoing, Abner?! These are the two-year results of an investigation into your wrongdoings.”Abner shuddered when he saw the thick stack of report files. Sweat formed on his

Nicholas turned to his daughter and said, “You’re the CEO of Shalholm’s Ghazali Corporation now, but don’t forget that Abel is still your brother!”When Nicholas, his wife, and their assistant left the Patrol Bureau, the common folk and patrol officers cheered. It did not matter if Nicholas was a big shot from the provincial capital. He still had to abide by the law.Ariana glanced at Xayne and then at Harold, asking softly, “Xayne, do you know Chief Harold?”Xayne shook his head and answered, “How could I possibly know him?”“Then, why is he helping you?” Ariana asked in suspicion.Xayne explained, “Harold is simply an upright patrol officer and a dedicated public servant.”Ariana raised an eyebrow and then left to explain things to Nicholas.Meanwhile, Harold looked at Xayne and then at Nicholas. One after the other, they left the bureau and entered the waiting cars parked at the entrance. When Harold and Xayne got into the car, the former grinned and said, “Mr. Xayne, my brot

Xayne narrowed his eyes and slowly released his cold aura. He said firmly, “I am.”The middle-aged man slowly rose with a smile. He put his hands behind his back and said, “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Master Lucian Bart.”Xayne frowned.‘It seems Ariana didn’t mislead me. The people the Waltons sent are prompt.’Coco waved her little hand at Xayne and happily exclaimed, “Daddy, this man bought me lots of yummy treats and fun toys!”Xayne smiled faintly at her and took a few steps forward to carry Coco off the ground. He gently rubbed her nose, then approached Serena sitting on the sofa. He handed Coco to her and said, “You two wait outside. I have something to discuss with Master Lucian.”Serena took Coco, and her tense heart finally eased. The former looked at Xayne and asked with concern, “Will you be okay?”Xayne nodded and caressed Serena’s silky hair. “I’m fine. Go play with Coco outside for a while.”Serena nodded and wanted to leave, but two men blocked her. Lucian

Lucian paled with shock as the teacup he held shattered.'That’s…' He was utterly overwhelmed by Xayne’s sudden surge of power. Xayne’s intense presence made Lucian unable to meet his gaze—even Lucian’s legs began to tremble.Xayne’s aura pushed back the dozen men poised to charge forward. They coughed up blood as they flew backward. Lucian was paralyzed with fear as he witnessed the scene.‘His aura is so potent that it caused my men to cough up blood! Is he even human?!’“Wh-Who are you? How do you possess such a terrifying aura?” Lucian wavered as he struggled to resist Xayne’s overwhelming pressure, causing Lucian to stammer.“Kneel!” Xayne bellowed, his one word carrying a tremendous impact.Lucian fell to his knees, stunned. Although he was a Legend Warrior, he could not withstand a single word from the young man before him. Lucian tried to stand, but his legs trembled uncontrollably.He could not get back up as he felt fear from the depths of his soul.“P-Please, tell

Xayne smiled and said, "It's no big deal. Don't overthink it. Come on, let’s go inside."Serena frowned slightly but said nothing more and entered the courtyard. Xayne glanced at Harold and nodded slightly, and the latter left.Meanwhile, Nicholas checked into a five-star hotel in Shalholm. Amelia sat on the sofa, wiping her tears as she said, “Honey, what should we do? Abel’s only in his twenties, yet he’s in jail. Won’t it ruin his reputation? You must find a way to get him out of there. What about Abner? Don’t you know him?”Nicholas stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows. His hands were behind his back as he gazed outside, saying, "Stop crying. The Discipline Inspection Bureau has taken Abner for investigation.“I'm trying to figure things out. Remember, we’re in Shalholm, not the capital. I don't have much influence or connections here."Upon hearing this, Amelia cried even more as nerves crept in. She asked, "What? Why is Abner being investigated? Will it implicate us?"Nich

Nicholas sneered as if he had made a decision. He said, “We’ll host a banquet tonight and invite Xayne and his wife.”“What? Have you lost your mind? Xayne’s the idiot who framed our son and got him arrested!” Amelia yelled with unwillingness and anger.“That’s enough!” Nicholas shouted back as he stared at his wife, reprimanding her, “Do you think I don’t know my son? Your indulgence of him led to this! We’re not in the capital now, so I can’t influence anything here.“Mr. Abner has gotten arrested and may never be free. If you want Abel out of prison, you’ll listen to everything I say.”Amelia felt aggrieved as she shed tears, protesting, “I won’t accept it! Why should we invite Xayne and his wife to dinner?”Nicholas stepped forward and patted his wife’s back, pulling her into his arms. “Okay, okay, I shouldn’t have raised my voice at you. Trust and listen to me. I’ll handle everything. I have some underground contacts in Shalholm.“I’ll arrange for them to lurk around the res

Serena still felt angry as she thought about the day’s events. She stared coldly at Sophia as the latter approached.Sophia looked at Serena and Xaye up and down, sneering, “What’s going on? Are you two here for dinner, too?”Ethan smiled mockingly. "Sophia, stop joking. How can they afford to eat here? I bet they're here to wash dishes. I heard the dishwashers here make a hundred dollars an hour."Feigning surprise, Sophia exclaimed, "Really?! A hundred bucks an hour?!"Then, she mocked Serena and Xayne, "I know you're short on cash, but coming here to wash dishes brings shame to our family. If you need money, I can give you some today. Just take it and leave. We’ve invited people for dinner. If they find out someone from my family is washing dishes here, it’ll ruin the mood.”Sophia took five hundred dollars from her purse and arrogantly handed it to Serena. The former said coldly, “Take it and get lost!”Serena looked at the money and retorted, “We’re not here to wash dishes.

"Is this how you, the manager of Bamboo Hills, treat those you consider poor?" Xayne retorted with a sharp gaze.The intensity of his stare startled Adam, who remained indifferent. Adam sneered and replied, "Yes, poor people like you don't qualify to enter Bamboo Hills. Our service isn't for the likes of you.""So, you're saying poor people don't deserve to dine here? So, you can step on and humiliate poor people?" Xayne grew furious. He did not plan on escalating the situation, but Adam’s attitude and demeanor infuriated him.‘What’s wrong with poor people? Are they destined to remain poor forever? Who will willingly choose to be poor? Why throw the term “poor” around so casually and use it as an insult?’“Hmph, Bamboo Hills will welcome you anytime if you’re not poor. Considering your attire and transportation, you belong to the working class. You’re not even qualified to argue with me. Please leave now, or I’ll call security,” Adam ordered, disregarding Xayne and Serena.Meanwh

"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
Chapter 2685
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
