Chapter 585
Author: Blanco Burn
The following morning, Serena visited the factory to check on the material production. Surprisingly, she only saw around eight workers out of her thirty initial workers. Everyone looked anxious, especially the leaders.

Serena hurried to the pacing supervisors and asked, “What’s going on? Where are the others?”

Eugene, the person in charge, said, “Ms. Serena, you’re finally here. Something terrible happened.”

Serena noticed the workers’ unpleasant expressions. She asked, “Take your time and explain what happened, Eugene.”

Eugene expressed his anger, “They all left! Just a few of us supervisors and some veteran workers remain.”

“Where did the rest of them go?” Serena was worried and puzzled.

“They resigned,” Eugene spoke helplessly, “It’s my fault for not keeping an eye on them. They wouldn’t have resigned if it weren’t for those jerks.”

Serena started to panic at the strange situation. “Why would they resign? We just hired them with high salaries.”

Eugene explained, “Supervisors

    “We’re from the Shalholm Business Association. We received a report from the public stating that there are issues with your factory’s equipment and environment. Therefore, we’re imposing a half-month operation restriction.“All production activities are prohibited during this period. If you have any questions, please apply to the panel for clarification. Here’s the notice.” The staff member handed a notice to Serena and posted another one on the factory door.The notice had bold red letters on black paper, making it eye-catching. Immediately after, the staff drove away, leaving Serena and Eugene dumbfounded.“Th-they’re trying to crush us completely!” Eugene shouted with anger and helplessness.Serena frowned as she held the notice, not knowing what to do.“The factory can’t continue like this. Half a month of restriction is just…” Eugene sighed.One of the workers said, “Should we look into the opposition’s offer? Five grand a month sounds good.”The remaining veteran employees

    When Xayne hung up, Chuck tremblingly put down his phone. After collecting himself, he dialed Chance’s number.When the call connected, a hearty laughter came from the other end, “Hahaha! What’s up, Chuck? Why are you calling me so early in the morning?”Chuck was not in the mood to laugh. Instead, he said gravely, “What’s wrong with you, Chance?! Why did you sabotage Mr. Xayne’s factory? Do you realize the disaster you’ve caused this time?”“Mr. Xayne’s factory?!” Chance shivered and stopped walking in the nearby park. He nervously asked, “Don’t scare me, Chuck. When did I sabotage his factory? I haven’t been to the association these past few days.”Chuck was puzzled, saying, “You what?”Chance anxiously said, “I just returned from a business trip out of town. I didn’t have the time to return to the association. What’s going on?”Chuck frowned and responded, “Regardless, Mr. Xayne is furious. He wants you to explain yourself to him in twenty minutes. He’s on his way to the assoc

    The guard nodded and glanced at Serena, saying, “Please wait here while I check.”“Sure, thank you.” Serena smiled.When the guard reached the security room, he dialed an internal number and spoke for a while. When he came out, he said, “I’m sorry, Ma’am. Mr. Damon isn’t in at the moment. Can you come back tomorrow?”“He’s not here?” Serena was puzzled. “Can I speak to someone else who’s in charge?”The guard grew impatient. “Ma’am, each person in charge here has responsibilities to attend to. It’s inappropriate for them to intervene in Mr. Damon’s affairs. It’s best if you return tomorrow.”“Well, can you please inform me if Mr. Damon returns? I’ll wait here.” Although hesitant, Serena could only stand silently at the entrance. After all, the situation at the factory was urgent. It would lead to considerable losses if Damon did not show up today.The guard glanced at Serena and sighed helplessly before returning inside.…Damon stood in the vice president’s office on the sixth

    A knock on the door sounded, and a middle-aged man said, “Come in.”Serena opened the door and saw Damon making tea inside the office. She got straight to the point, “Hello, Mr. Damon. My name is Serena, and I’m here about Skylark Factory.”Damon held two teacups and placed them on the table. He gestured toward them and said, “These are freshly brewed, Ms. Serena. Would you like to try one?”Serena recalled what happened with Fredrick last time and decided not to drink it. She smiled, saying, “Thank you, but I’m not thirsty.”Damon did not insist and took a few sips himself. He smiled and said, “I know why you’re here, Ms. Serena. Unfortunately, there’s little I can do about Skylark Factory. Just follow the document’s instructions and tidy up your work environment and equipment.”Serena felt a sense of urgency. “The issues mentioned in the document aren’t—”Damon smiled and interjected, “You’re still too you, Ms. Serena. Go back and carefully read the document. We’ll lift the res

    Several security guards and the seven factory bosses rushed in. They were nervous when they saw Damon’s bloodied face.“What happened here?!”“Oh my God! Who beat Damon up like this?”“Hey, how dare you barge into Damon’s office?! Guards, get him! That guy dares to cause trouble at the Shalholm Business Association. You must punish him severely!”Elroy led the others to surround Damon. Immediately after, the guards drew their batons and approached Xayne.Xayne’s expression turned cold as he exuded an overwhelming aura. He glared at the approaching guards.“How dare you cause trouble here, kid. Do you have a death wish?”“Get on your knees now, or we’ll use force!”The guards roared and then swung their batons at Xayne’s head. However, several shadowy fists flew toward the guards, and they fell to the ground. Their faces now bore red imprints as their noses bled.The scene terrified the staff.Elroy shouted in fear and anger, “Wh-who are you?!”“You just attacked the vice pre

    Xayne’s expression darkened as a suppressed murderous intent enveloped the building. He asked, “You’re saying my wife fainted on her own?”“Yes! She came to my office to ask about the issues with Skylark Factory. She fainted before she could say much!” Damon shouted in a panic.“Then why is my wife’s windbreaker undone?!” Xayne roared, causing everyone to wince.At that point, everyone noticed the windbreaker on the sofa where Serena lay. No one dared to imagine what would have happened if Xayne did not show up in time. Hence, the crowd glanced at Damon skeptically.The staff, including many business representatives and bosses, engaged in hushed conversations. “No way. Would Mr. Damon do such a thing?”“Well, Ms. Serena is beautiful and has a perfect figure. Maybe Mr. Damon—”“Whose side should we take?”Damon felt a sense of impending doom when the situation began to turn against him. He quickly shifted all the blame onto the unconscious Serena. “You’re spouting nonsense! You

    Damon jerked his hand back and glared at Xayne.The latter spoke coldly, “Is that so? Should I take this teacup to the forensics department? We’ll let them examine my wife, too. Then we’ll see if you’re telling the truth.”Xayne’s words frightened Damon. The latter knew the truth would come to light if they went through with the examination. Damon gritted his teeth and yelled at his assistant, “Why are you just standing around?! Call for help! This guy’s insane!”The assistant ran out to call for help, but a figure with a chilling aura and several regulatory officials approached.A furious shout echoed throughout the entire sixth floor, “Let’s see who dares arrest Mr. Xayne!”Everyone turned toward the source of the voice and saw a man in his fifties striding toward the office. Upon seeing the man, Damon exclaimed, “Mr. Chance? When did you return?”Chance glared at Damon and slapped him.Smack!Chance trembled with anger as he scolded, “Do you realize the mess you’ve made, Dam

    Damon had no chance to explain himself as the authorities dragged him away.Meanwhile, Xayne lifted the unconscious Serena and looked at Chance, asking, “Where’s the lounge?”Chance responded, “This way, Mr. Xayne. I’ll take you there.”He then led Xayne to the top floor. Soon after, Xayne lay Serena on the sofa and took several finely forged needles from his waist. Then, he carefully inserted them into Serena’s acupoints. Suddenly, Serena retched and woke up, vomiting all the tea she had drunk.Dazed, she saw Xayne wiping the sweat from her body with a warm towel. Her body was still weak, so she lacked the strength to sit up. She asked softly, “Xayne, why are you here? Where am I?”“We’re the association’s lounge. You fainted just now, and the president of the association called me,” Xayne replied with a faint smile, choosing not to mention what Damon had done.Serena squinted. She could not recall what happened earlier. She only remembered drinking tea and talking to Damon befo

    "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
