Others might not know, but Perfected Jingyun knew very well. In that fleeting moment just now, Fang Zhiyi had channeled true qi into his fingers and flicked the tip of his sword dozens of times in rapid succession! The sword intent that had originally gathered on the blade was forcibly scattered by him!
He was now caught in a dilemma. Although his pride was important... his strength did not seem to permit him to reclaim his pride from Fang Zhiyi.
I am a reasonable person. If anyone here does not want to be reasonable, I will beat you until you are. Fang Zhiyi smiled gently, but his smile made the hearts of everyone from Jingyun Peak sink to the bottom of the valley.
Arrogant! Perfected Jingyun tried to move again, but Fang Zhiyi was faster, seizing his wrist with one hand. Just as Perfected Jingyun was about to counterattack, he suddenly saw the other party's palm slapping toward him. Fortunately, his reaction was extremely fast, and he reached out to block it.
Do you really think I am one of those callow youths... Oh!
This Oh was even a little out of tune.
He slowly lowered his head in disbelief, his face instantly filled with grief and indignation. You! You...
Perfected One, it is quite rare for you to fall for the same trick twice. Fang Zhiyi was amused.
Everyone present winced. Last time, not many people saw Perfected Jingyun get hit by Fang Zhiyi's move, but today they all saw it clearly.
Senior Brother is too ruthless, isn't he? It's just that this move looks exactly like what mortals would use in a street fight...
In the end, Perfected Jingyun failed to take Miao Yunxi away. He tried to leave with his legs clamped together, but was stopped by Fang Zhiyi. He could only order a few of his disciples to go back and fetch spirit stones to pay the fines and compensation. What made Cang Lanye and the others even more depressed was that the compensation and fine amount proposed by Fang Zhiyi seemed to be exactly tailored to the reserves of their Jingyun Peak. With this payment, Jingyun Peak was instantly reduced to having absolutely nothing.
Master... he is deliberately targeting us! Li Qi, who had returned to Jingyun Peak, was still unresigned.
Perfected Jingyun darkened his face. Do you have a solution?
Li Qi shook his head. Even his master had conceded, so what else could he do?
However, to their surprise, Miao Yunxi, whose cultivation had been crippled, was sent back to them that very night.
Senior Brother Fang said that given Jingyun Peak's good attitude in admitting your mistakes, he is returning her to you out of respect for your dignity. The Law Enforcement Hall disciple who came to deliver the message clearly had a condescending attitude because he had Fang Zhiyi backing him. Martial Uncle, your face is truly great.
Perfected Jingyun clenched his jaw and said nothing; his lower abdomen throbbed with a dull pain.
What about that demonic cultivator? Cang Lanye asked.
The disciple pondered for a moment. Senior Brother Fang said it is rare to catch a demonic cultivator, so he is letting all the sect's disciples take a practical class. If you senior brothers are interested, you can go and get some hands-on experience. After saying that, he casually cupped his hands and left.
Cang Lanye felt an inexplicable numbness in his scalp. This Fang Zhiyi was definitely a demonic cultivator! No, he was even more terrifying than a demonic cultivator!
Master, Junior Sister she... Cang Lanye looked at the dying Miao Yunxi. He wanted to step forward, but felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.
She what? She has already become a cripple! Perfected Jingyun flicked his sleeve and left; he was exceptionally furious right now.
Li Qi muttered another sentence. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have provoked that mad dog Fang Zhiyi.
Cang Lanye sighed. Alas.
The crowd dispersed. Miao Yunxi stared blankly at their retreating backs, her heart filled with boundless resentment. You are just afraid of Fang Zhiyi! And you kept claiming you would protect me! Bah!
Her voice echoed in the empty courtyard, but no one paid her any attention.
The weakened Chu Kuang heard her cursing and turned his head to spit. How had he been blinded by this troublemaking junior sister in the first place? Looking at it now, she had colluded with demonic cultivators long ago, using demonic arts to bewitch everyone's minds!
Senior Brother Fang, I brought you some pills I refined myself. Lan Chengyue blocked Fang Zhiyi's inevitable path.
The system beside her kept urging, Hurry up, he has broken through two realms in a row, much faster than expected!
I know, stop rushing me. Lan Chengyue's eyes gradually brightened as she looked at Fang Zhiyi. This was her cultivation!
You can't eat this thing? Fang Zhiyi simultaneously asked Little Hei.
Little Hei nodded. This thing is in cahoots with the Heavenly Dao. Eating it will incur the Heavenly Dao's revenge.
It's fine, I have a good idea.
Fang Zhiyi and Lan Chengyue looked at each other, both harboring their own ulterior motives.
The next day, massive news spread throughout the sect. The recently infinitely glorious Fang Zhiyi and Lan Chengyue had become Dao companions, and even signed a Heavenly Dao Contract!
This news was even more explosive than Fang Zhiyi forcing Jingyun Peak to pay compensation.
For a time, everyone started gossiping. They were not familiar with the name Lan Chengyue, not even knowing which faction she belonged to. However, a few individual disciples in the crowd darkened their faces upon hearing this name, looking as if they had nothing left to live for.
You just agreed directly? Little Hei looked utterly bewildered. Damn, did you fall for her looks too?
Fang Zhiyi was speechless. What the hell do you know.
You are much faster than the original host's progress, she won't wait slowly. This is a Heavenly Dao Contract! Half of your cultivation will be siphoned away! Little Hei brandished its claws.
I have my own plans. Fang Zhiyi waved his hand, leaving Little Hei half-believing and half-doubting.
Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Fang Jingshu was holding her child, her face full of sorrow.
Dong Shi, with a woman in each arm, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw her seeking him out. My wife, why have you come here? Did you miss your husband?
Fang Jingshu took a deep breath. I originally heard people say you were in this filthy place and refused to believe it, but I didn't expect you to...
Dong Shi looked completely indifferent. What are you talking about? I am merely chatting with these women who have fallen into prostitution, hoping to help them escape this sea of suffering.
Fang Jingshu hesitated a bit. Chatting?
Yes, chatting. Dong Shi walked up to her and gently took her hand. They are not like you, who have learned immortal arts. In this social environment, they can only be exploited by others. I truly couldn't stand to watch it.
Seeing his compassionate appearance, Fang Jingshu nodded. Husband, you have worked hard.
Not hard at all! Dong Shi waved his hand, his face full of smiles. With your support, I feel that everything is worth it.
Fang Jingshu revealed a shy expression, failing to see the flash of smugness in Dong Shi's eyes.
System, did the affection level drop?
Host, the affection level has returned to one hundred. She is dead set on you, the system replied.
Dong Shi was relieved. This foolish, love-struck woman was too easy to fool. His biggest concern was her; as long as she didn't turn hostile, he could comfortably build his harem.
Oh, by the way, my dear, Dong Shi whispered in Fang Jingshu's ear. The courtyard at home has gotten too small. See if you have any more treasures that can be exchanged for money... I also want our son to have a better environment in the future.
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." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

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'!"
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
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.
