In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
Time flew by so quickly that before one could even reminisce, all the past honors and disgraces had become history.
Such is the way of the world.
When life is filled with pain, a single instant can feel as long as ten thousand years, and saying a day feels like a year is not enough to describe such anguish. But when life is joyful, even a few years can slip away like quicksand, silently becoming memories.
Before anyone knew it.
The New Sword Sect had rapidly grown and expanded, its prestige and power suppressing all other major sects.
Following Yi Feng's breakthrough to the Origin Nascent Realm after absorbing the treasury's gains, the New Sword Sect also became the sole Rank Two major sect in the Blazing Fire Country. The other major sects had long since been convinced by Yi Feng, smoothly submitting as vassals of the New Sword Sect.
Almost the entire Blazing Fire Country was within the New Sword Sect's sphere of influence. The once high and mighty royal family had been completely stripped of power and left ignored.
The power and strength of the New Sword Sect had reached its absolute peak!
That year, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. After drinking merrily beneath the moon until late into the night, the major vassal sects respectfully took their leave. The bustling main hall of the New Sword Sect finally returned to peace.
The four brothers sat together at a table, smiling, their eyes filled with indescribable delight.
The Youth in Black sat sideways on a large chair, his face full of smiles.
Over these past two years, your granddaddy has played all over the imperial capital. I've finally come to understand more and more how to be an excellent scumbag!
Hearing this, Toad also smiled, using his webbed claws to wipe the wine from the corner of his mouth.
I can also eat my fill now!
Looking back, following you and Big Brother Yi to fight guerrilla warfare was truly the smartest decision I've made in my life. From now on, the four of us brothers will share wealth and face life and death together!
The Snail didn't say anything, but silently nodded with a firm expression.
Seeing the deep bond between the three brothers, Yi Feng also felt deeply moved. Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky outside the door, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Indeed. Within the borders of this Blazing Fire Country, our New Sword Sect no longer has any rivals...
Before he could finish his sentence.
The Youth in Black had already cast a knowing glance over.
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, finishing the next sentence in unison.
It's time to go back and get our revenge!
Hearing these words, Toad and the Snail quietly exchanged a glance, revealing serious and determined expressions, before consecutively voicing their stances.
We agreed to share life and death, wealth and woe. Big Brother Yi's revenge is our revenge!
Yes, we'll go together!
This made the Youth in Black laugh in satisfaction, his palm slapping Toad's back so hard it smacked loudly!
Hahaha!
Well said, these are true brothers!
The four laughed heartily, a light of anticipation emerging in their eyes.
That night, eighteen urgent sect orders spread throughout the borders of the Blazing Fire Country. All branches and subordinate forces were alerted, the shockwaves spreading across tens of thousands of miles!
Early the next morning.
As the morning sun just rose, thousands of cultivators flew eastward. Experts of the Divine Mansion and Heavenly Sun Realms were everywhere. The dense, dark mass of figures radiated terrifying auras, blotting out the sky and the sun as they headed straight for the Southern Li Country!
This terrifying lineup alarmed the surrounding countries. Wherever they passed, the expressions of various sects changed drastically. Heated discussions and news spread like wildfire. Upon hearing the news, all factions in the Southern Li Country were thrown into a state of panic, with many losing their composure in shock!
No one dared to imagine it.
The peerless genius Yi Feng, whom they had hunted down back then, was actually leading an army back to kill them!
The tragic memories of the bloody battle at Severed Soul Cliff surfaced in their minds, once again plunging the entire Southern Li Country into terror!
...
The northern borders of the Southern Li Country.
Inside a sect's main hall, there were only panicking disciples and elders. They tremblingly looked at the transmission jade slips in their hands, as exclamations and disputes erupted all around!
Yi Feng has returned!
The New Sword Sect of the Blazing Fire Country has dispatched thousands of experts and is about to arrive in our Southern Li Country!
It's said that the New Sword Sect is a Rank Two major sect, with experts as common as clouds and overwhelming power. They are a behemoth that awes the various countries of the western frontiers, and their Sect Master is actually Yi Feng?
How is this possible!
Eldest Senior Brother is coming back?!
The exclamations and heated discussions grew more intense, and everyone's eyes showed panic, until a young girl walked in from outside. Her astonished words interrupted everyone's chatter.
But upon clearly hearing the words Eldest Senior Brother, the expressions of everyone present became incredibly complex!
Suddenly.
The main hall fell into dead silence. The disciples and elders wore conflicted and shocked expressions, not making a sound for a long time. The old man in the main seat flashed with anger in his eyes, and his furious roar echoed all around!
Bastard!
Back then, Yi Feng stole the Holy Land's supreme treasure, betraying the expectations of the various sects of Southern Li. After that, he brutally slaughtered the disciples of the various sects at Severed Soul Cliff. Such a ruthless and unrighteous person has long ceased to be the chief disciple of our sect!
I absolutely refuse to believe that he could achieve such hegemony as the New Sword Sect!
His words startled everyone into fearful nods, seemingly subtly bringing the situation under control.
However.
Including the old man himself, everyone's state of mind became extremely complicated. Looks of suspicion and alarm constantly surfaced in their eyes, and some even showed expressions of regret and conflict on their faces.
Right in this moment of silence.
Suddenly!
An indescribable oppressive might spread from the sky, enveloping the entire main hall and causing everyone's expressions to change drastically!
The old man immediately led the crowd outside.
Only then did they see dozens of unfamiliar experts standing quietly in the air. Their dark figures emitted a chilling, murderous aura, covering the sky like dark clouds!
After observing for just a few breaths, the old man was so shocked that his eyes trembled.
Divine Mansion Realm!?
Hearing these words, those around him were instantly dumbfounded, looking up at the sky with faces full of shock!
Back then, even a monstrous genius like Yi Feng had only just stepped into this realm when he made a name for himself in the sect. Right now, there were actually dozens of experts of the same realm standing quietly in the sky. This was simply unbelievable!
Even seeing it with their own eyes, the crowd still couldn't quite believe all of this.
This terrifying lineup, the likes of which they had never seen or heard of, frightened everyone into absolute silence!
The old man's eyes also darkened as he looked. He gritted his teeth, raised his eyes, and asked warily.
Everyone.
There is no enmity or grudge between us. Why have you suddenly appeared at our sect!
Halfway through his words, the old man's face suddenly turned pale, and he probed with a voice full of alarm and doubt!
Could it be...
You are the legendary members of the New Sword Sect?!
The moment these words came out, it shocked the disciples and elders into an uproar!
The New Sword Sect?!
It must be them! Only the legendary New Sword Sect has this kind of terrifying foundation!
In that case, their Sect Master Yi Feng... is that traitor from back then?!
How is this possible!
For Yi Feng to actually send such a terrifying lineup here, he has clearly mobilized the high-level forces of the New Sword Sect to pull us up by the roots. What ruthless methods!
Before the exclamations could settle, a terrifying oppressive might descended from the sky again, instantly making everyone fear for their lives, not daring to utter a single word!
As everyone looked up nervously.
The leader in the sky showed a look of anger, looking down with cold eyes as he spoke!
Audacious!
How can the name of our Sect Master be slandered by the likes of you!
We are the Flying Star Altar, a subordinate branch of the New Sword Sect. Under the orders of the Great Protector, we have come to avenge the Sect Master for the pursuit back then. Does a third-rate sect like yours deserve the intervention of our sect's high-level forces? You think far too highly of yourselves!
Surrender quickly and accept your deaths, and we shall leave your corpses intact. If you dare to utter slander again, we will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!
The deep voice, mixed with profound spiritual energy, spread out, shocking many disciples so much that blood leaked from the corners of their mouths.
Compared to these terrifying methods, the shocking truth in his words was even more frightening. Just hearing these few words about the New Sword Sect left everyone completely devoid of the will to fight!
Such terrifying power, and it's merely a subordinate branch!
What kind of behemoth is the New Sword Sect?!
To think Yi Feng actually wields such power, how is this possible!
In just a few short years, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Yi Feng, who was once hunted down like a dog, had suddenly grown to an unimaginably terrifying level. Even the forces under his command were enough to make people look up in awe. Many found it hard to accept this massive disparity, muttering blankly as the shock set in.
Amidst the widespread panic.
The leading old man also lost all color in his face upon hearing the news. He staggered backward, muttering, his eyes overflowing with deep regret!
How could this be...
The New Sword Sect was actually founded by Yi Feng?!
If I had known this earlier, I never should have followed the crowd and sent people to hunt him down back then. A momentary lapse in judgment has actually ruined our sect's century-old foundation!
At this point, whether shocked by the oppressive aura or overwhelmed by the knot of intense regret in his heart, the old man actually spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
Pfft!
In an instant, the entire sect descended into utter chaos.
Before anyone could even react, experts descended from the sky like crushing meteors. Blooms of blood mist exploded one after another amidst endless wails of regret. The leader who brought the forces maintained an indifferent expression throughout, only sending a respectful message after the completely one-sided massacre concluded.
The next moment.
Thousands of miles away, in the eastern borders of the Nanli Nation.
Outside a large sect similarly washed in blood, a Youth in Black read through various messages and spoke in a deep voice to Yi Feng in front of him.
The sects that hunted us in the past have all paid their blood debts!
Once we destroy this sect before us, we will head to that bullshit Snow Moon Holy Land!
Hearing this, Yi Feng nodded slightly.
Good.
Ever since everyone betrayed him and his loved ones abandoned him back then, he had long seen through the hypocrisy of the world. He had severed all past karma, his heart no longer bound by any restraints. Aside from the few brothers beside him and his sect, everything else was just fleeting clouds.
Living in this world, one should settle debts of gratitude and grudges with swift vengeance!
Calmly watching the bloody battle in the distant sect come to an end, Yi Feng turned around and lightly waved his sleeve. Without a moment's hesitation, he led his forces into the sky.
In an instant.
Countless figures gathered from all directions, exuding terrifying auras in the sky. The various sects of the Nanli Nation withered in a single day as the grand army swept through like a violent storm!
The overwhelming pressure covering the sky headed straight for the Snow Moon Holy Land!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
