"Who's there?"
The man called out in a deep voice.
Then, they saw Gong Chen walk in from outside with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother?"
"Uncle Gong Chen?"
Both father and son stared at Gong Chen in astonishment and exclaimed, "Weren't you imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island? How did you get out?"
Gong Chen smiled faintly, casually sat down at the table, and said with a leisurely laugh, "Brother, don't be so surprised. Getting out of Dark Shadow Island isn't such a big deal!"
The father and son were completely bewildered.
Getting out of Dark Shadow Island isn't a big deal?
Was he being serious?
Even if you were lucky enough to escape Dark Shadow Island, there's no need to be so cocky!
However, after their initial shock wore off, both of them were delighted and began showing their concern for Gong Chen's wellbeing.
Gong Chen remained tight-lipped about what happened on Dark Shadow Island.
Instead, he asked directly, "Brother, what exactly was going on earlier?"
At this mention, the man sighed and stopped questioning Gong Chen about his situation.
"Ah, Senior Brother."
"You know about Chong's condition."
"There hasn't been any improvement over the years, and now it's almost time for his marriage to the Holy Maiden of the Qianxun Sect!"
"But who would have thought, a few days ago, the Qianxun Sect came to break off the engagement. Chong got angry and made a one-year pact with that Holy Maiden, saying he would defeat her within a year!"
As he spoke, the man rubbed his forehead.
His face was full of worry.
"Qianxun Sect?"
"Hasn't that pathetic sect always relied on our Great Transformation Sect? How dare they be so bold as to break off the engagement with Chong?" Gong Chen said with a gloomy expression.
"Ah, you don't know."
"After you were imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, this Holy Maiden Li Qingxuan awakened the Ancient Immortal Physique."
"Moreover, she was accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of Xi Ning Continent."
"In other words, now that the Qianxun Sect has the Lord of Xi Ning Continent as their backing, they no longer need our Great Transformation Sect, which is why they came to break off the engagement."
The man kept sighing as he spoke: "How could Chong possibly be a match for Li Qingxuan in a year's time!"
"That's why I was just scolding him. It would be better to simply agree to break off the engagement. Losing a bit of face is better than losing face in front of countless people on the arena platform a year later!" the man said, shaking his head.
However.
After understanding the whole story, Gong Chen burst into laughter.
He looked at Lu Chong with approval.
"Chong, well done! It's good that you didn't agree to break off the engagement, or we would have lost all face," Gong Chen said with a broad smile.
Hearing this.
Lu Zun was instantly dumbfounded.
So was Lu Chong himself.
"Senior Brother, did you not understand?" Lu Zun couldn't help saying, "We're not losing face now by refusing, but what about a year from now?"
"How can you make Chong defeat Li Qingxuan in a year?"
"How to defeat Li Qingxuan?"
Gong Chen sneered.
"Brother, to be frank, I came back this time specifically to find you two father and son."
"Because I'm going to give Chong a great opportunity!"
"If Chong successfully obtains this opportunity, Li Qingxuan will be nothing but a joke!"
Hearing this.
The eyes of Lu Zun and his son lit up.
They asked eagerly: "What opportunity is it?"
"Hehe!"
Gong Chen grinned and said, "Of course, it's to enter Dark Shadow Island for training!"
"Dark Shadow Island?"
The father and son's eyes bulged.
They looked at Gong Chen with complete disappointment.
"Senior Brother, things are already bad enough, please don't joke with us," Lu Zun said with an ugly expression.
"Yes, Uncle. Dark Shadow Island is a place everyone tries to avoid. What opportunity could there be? This joke isn't funny at all," Lu Chong added from the side.
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride. Lin Xuan's eyes light up, eager to pledge his loyalty on the spot, but instead, her kiss transfers a glass of drugged wine into his mouth, causing him to pass out... 【Male Protagonist with Single Female Lead】【Yandere Tycoon】【Action-Packed】【True vs. Fake Heir】

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
