Seeing Yi Feng take his seat, several old men with graying temples and white hair began to chatter all at once.
"Last time I lost by just one move, and I'm still not resigned to it! After we finish eating, let's play another game!"
"Alright, this time I'll make you lose with full conviction," Yi Feng said with a smile and a nod.
The old man who had lost by one move looked embarrassed.
He knew Yi Feng's chess skills were superb, but he felt it was quite disgraceful to lose to a younger generation.
Fortunately, the townsfolk were simple and honest; he didn't hold any real grudges in his heart, it was just his competitive spirit acting up.
Another old man grabbed Yi Feng's hand and said, "I brewed some corn wine myself. Young Master Yi, when will you come to my house and take two jugs back with you?"
Yi Feng cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
The banquet was filled with cheerful voices and laughter.
The table of old men all treated Yi Feng as a dear friend despite the age difference.
They all felt that Yi Feng was very open-minded and a man of great cultivation.
Days passed by one after another just like this.
From time to time, elders in the town passed away, and from time to time, crying babies were born.
Meanwhile, the sky-obscuring battle on Shadow Island continued to rage like wildfire.
Every day, large numbers of people died in battle on Shadow Island.
The long-lost sun and moon still did not appear; the entire world remained shrouded in boundless darkness.
Imperceptibly.
Everyone was surprised to find that the blood moon had changed, becoming more bizarre and even more crimson.
It was as if some unknown, great terror was about to drill its way out from within the blood moon.
A terrifying shadow loomed over everyone's hearts, lingering and refusing to dissipate.
The whole world was in a state of panic, and the anxiety in everyone's hearts grew day by day.
Living in a constant state of anxiety made people feel helpless, yet there was nothing they could do.
This feeling of suspense was what made people lose sleep and appetite the most.
The prolonged oppression pushed many people's mental states to the verge of collapse.
They actually began to hope for this great terror to descend sooner.
This mindset was extremely complex, carrying a sense of despair and giving up on oneself.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this anticipation.
Finally, one day, the blood moon shattered with a resounding boom.
It happened without any warning, catching everyone off guard.
A massive roar echoed across the far reaches of the world, striking immense terror into the hearts of all living beings in this realm.
The shattered red moon slowly gathered, condensing into a human silhouette.
That figure merely hovered quietly in the air, yet it brought an apocalyptic pressure upon countless living beings.
Everyone in this world could see him.
He was like a demon god from hell, standing proudly at the pinnacle of the firmament.
The fear at the bottom of everyone's hearts finally erupted.
Many people could not even contain their fear and began to bow and kneel toward that figure.
In the sky above Shadow Island.
The foreign races who saw this figure stopped their attacks one after another, all kneeling down in worship toward the figure in the heavens.
Earth-shattering roars echoed from the horizon.
"We pay our respects to Lord Supreme Red Moon!"
"We pay our respects to Lord Supreme Red Moon!"
...
This tidal wave of roars swept across the world, making everyone feel as if they were standing at the edge of an abyss.
Meanwhile, the people on Shadow Island all wore solemn expressions.
They could all feel this person's unparalleled aura.
They even vaguely felt that as long as this mysterious person wished it, he could crush them all to death with a flick of his finger.
Shadow Island instantly plunged into a massive crisis.
The people who had come to aid Shadow Island felt their hearts turn to dead ashes.
Has the apocalypse finally arrived?!
Their desperate resistance had not brought about ultimate victory.
This caused the countless people guarding Shadow Island to feel a tremendous sense of powerlessness, as if all their previous efforts had been entirely in vain.
Supreme Red Moon looked down upon this world.
He paid no mind to these ants on Shadow Island.
Supreme Red Moon slowly opened his mouth. His voice was clear but incomparably icy, making people shudder, and it echoed throughout the entire vast world.
"Yi Feng, come out!"
This voice echoed in the minds of all living beings across the entire world, repeating over and over again.
It pierced the ears of these living beings like a demonic sound, vibrating their eardrums until they ached.
Many mortals could not withstand this torment, clutching their ears and rolling on the ground in pain.
Hearing these words, the people on Shadow Island broke into discussions.
"Is he calling for Mister?"
"Will Mister appear?"
"If Mister appears, will he deal with him?"
"Everyone, do not panic! Mister will definitely return to deal with this person!"
"Even if Mister doesn't return, we will live and die with Shadow Island!"
"Live and die together!"
...
The crowd on Shadow Island was impassioned.
They all revealed looks of anticipation.
Mister will definitely appear, right!
Under this anticipation, their courage gathered, solidifying their resolve to defend Shadow Island to the death.
In the small courtyard of the town.
Yi Feng unhurriedly finished the food in his bowl and then set it down.
Afterward, he downed the wine in his cup in one gulp before slowly standing up.
"Yaoyao, I'll trouble you to wash the dishes."
Having said that, Yi Feng leisurely looked up at the sky, gazing at that towering demonic shadow, his expression revealing no discernible fluctuation.
He then slowly stepped out of the courtyard.
Yun Yaoyao nodded, watching Yi Feng leave.
She had seen the red moon shatter, seen Supreme Red Moon reveal his form, felt Supreme Red Moon's pressure that felt like the collapsing heavens, and heard Supreme Red Moon searching for Yi Feng.
Yun Yaoyao could feel the power of Supreme Red Moon.
This kind of power made even her feel powerless.
But looking at Yi Feng's back, all her fears vanished into thin air.
Right now, all she needed to do was follow Yi Feng's instructions and wash the dishes.

Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing?

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
