"Have you heard? The treasure map in Sun Kui's possession, if obtained, could overthrow a dynasty!"
"They say Sun Kui has two divine weapons; gaining them would allow one to command the martial world!"
"The Elixir of Immortality? Really? But come to think of it, he suddenly killed that miracle-working doctor, surely it was for that pill!"
After many years, the martial world was once again swept up in a frenzy to find Sun Kui.
The sects that originally held the information were somewhat frustrated. They thought they could get a head start, never expecting the news to be leaked and spread so rapidly! Initially, only these twelve sects were searching for Sun Kui, but now, the entire martial world was stirring.
The sect leaders felt immense pressure, inwardly cursing the person who leaked the information.
Black Vajra listened to his disciple's report in bewilderment. He remembered the information obtained from the Cangyue Sect that day stated Sun Kui only had one divine weapon, one treasure map, one chest of secret manuals... But according to the news his disciples gathered, Sun Kui had over ten divine weapons, ten treasure maps, ten chests of peerless secret manuals, and most importantly, he also possessed an Elixir of Immortality!
Black Vajra was full of confusion. First, he didn't understand why the news spread so fast. Second... this news seemed somewhat outrageous.
But as more disciples returned with gathered information, Black Vajra's conviction began to waver.
After pondering for a long time, he finally slammed the armrest of his chair fiercely: "The Cangyue Sect actually deceived me!" But there was no time now to settle accounts with them; he had to get his hands on these treasures before everyone else!
Sun Kui also never expected to become a hot topic again. On the road, anyone carrying a blade or sword was discussing his name. Sun Kui listened with his heart pounding. Returning to his temporary lodgings, he looked at his three secret manuals and one precious blade, sinking into deep thought.
Then he received a carrier pigeon. Seeing the token, he felt slightly reassured. It seemed the leader of the Cangyue Sect was a decent person. Since his sworn brother had invited him, it was a good opportunity to lay low for a while.
By the time Sun Kui set off, two groups of treasure-seeking martial artists had already started fighting. The scene was chaotic. He pulled down his hat brim and hurried on his way. Just who was spreading these wild rumors out there? If he found them, he'd chop them to pieces!
In just five days, Sun Kui arrived at the Cangyue Sect. Those originally surveilling the Cangyue Sect had now been redirected to search for Sun Kui's whereabouts.
Thus, Sun Kui swaggered right through the main gate of the Cangyue Sect. Standing at the entrance of their main hall, he witnessed a scene that left him utterly baffled.
"Master, this is the share of money collected from below today." Yu Cangyun respectfully handed a bag of silver to Fang Zhiyi.
Fang Zhiyi nodded: "Good, good. Tomorrow, switch to a different group of people and pick a few new spots to go sell."
"Understood, Master!" Yu Cangyun couldn't suppress the smile on his face. The Cangyue Sect was used to being poor; who would have thought the Master could find a way to earn so much money!
Only a bewildered Li Xiuyu and a nervous Yue sat to the side.
They never imagined that the Master would actually sell information about Sun Kui! If it were true, that would be one thing, but it was all fabricated!
Yue looked at Fang Zhiyi. She could no longer see through this sect leader at all. But Fang Zhiyi was undoubtedly a greedy man. Wasn't he afraid the truth would come to light?
"Ahem..." Sun Kui at the door, seeing no one paying him any attention, had to muster the courage to speak up. "I..."
"Brother Sun?" Li Xiuyu turned and saw him, both surprised and delighted. "How did you..."
Fortunately, Yue reacted quickly: "Brother Sun, you're here! Wonderful!"
Sun Kui also saw the two of them, a grin spreading across his face: "Hahaha, you invited me..."
Yue hurriedly interrupted: "Master! This is Sun Kui! He's also Xiuyu's sworn brother!" She felt somewhat ashamed, unsure what Fang Zhiyi would do next, but for her son's sake, she had no choice.
Fang Zhiyi had naturally seen Sun Kui. The entire hall fell silent instantly. Fang Zhiyi trotted over to Sun Kui.
"Your reputation precedes you, Sun Kui!" He excitedly shook Sun Kui's hand. "The God of Wealth has arrived, hasn't he?"
Sun Kui was a bit dazed, but seeing Fang Zhiyi's enthusiastic attitude, he felt somewhat embarrassed: "Not at all, not at all... I have no money..."
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand: "Money isn't important. Your arrival is all that matters."
He immediately arranged for disciples to prepare a feast to entertain Sun Kui. Now that the Cangyue Sect had money, the disciples were highly motivated and busied themselves at once. In just the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Sun Kui was pulled by Fang Zhiyi to take a seat.
"Hey, I originally didn't want to trouble you, given my notorious reputation..." Sun Kui was somewhat embarrassed, never expecting his sworn brother's sect to treat him so well. "It's just that I don't know which bastard is spreading rumors out there that I have a pile of treasures. Now the entire martial world is looking for me, so I had no choice... sigh! If I catch that bastard, I'll definitely tear him to piec—"
"Brother Sun! Have some food!" Yue hurriedly cut him off.
Sun Kui quickly took a bowl to receive the food Yue served him.
"That person is truly despicable. I, Sun Kui, have roamed the martial world for decades and never encountered such a..."
This time, even Li Xiuyu felt awkward. He was honest, not stupid. The Master had earned quite a bit of silver these days by reselling information about Sun Kui: "Brother Sun, have a drink!"
Sun Kui clinked cups with him, set down his cup, and opened his mouth to speak again.
"Brother Sun!" This time, the husband and wife spoke in unison.
Sun Kui was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Fang Zhiyi smiled: "Nothing, go on."
Sun Kui sighed: "Now I have nowhere to go. Don't worry, Sect Leader Fang, I came here merely to visit my sworn brother and my godson. Afterwards, I'll naturally leave and not bring you any trouble." He paused, then continued through gritted teeth, "I originally wanted to live in seclusion until old age, but some villain spread rumors. If that person were before me, I'd surely cleave him in two with one stroke of my blade!"
Li Xiuyu was at a loss. Fortunately, the Master still wore a smile.
Yue, however, was on tenterhooks. Fang Zhiyi was a man whose emotions were hard to read; who knew if he was secretly furious right now.
"All this killing and fighting is no good. How about you listen to me first, then decide whether you want to cleave me in two, alright?" Fang Zhiyi said.
Sun Kui was taken aback, waving his hand: "Why would I cleave you? Sect Leader Fang, you are a righteous man. I, Sun Kui, admire you greatly..."
Suddenly, a disciple ran in: "Sect Leader! I have a new idea!" He held a simple drawing in his hand, a few sparse strokes outlining the features of a weathered man. No one present recognized the person in the drawing.
But below the drawing were two large characters: "Heinous Villain — Sun Kui!"
The disciple beamed: "As long as we say it was drawn by the Junior Uncle, someone will definitely buy it!"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

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.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
