Everyone at the banquet trembled in fear.
No one dared to provoke Song Ming at this moment.
"Su Muwan, we respect you as a real fighter.
You even dared to mess with Song Ming's sister."
Because of what happened to his sister, Song Ming had lost his appetite.
He left alone with a gloomy face.
He didn't let his subordinates drive, choosing to go by himself, as he wanted to check on his sister's condition as soon as possible.
Most importantly...
He wanted to!
Go directly after Su Muwan!! And beat her until she's crippled!!
However...
Just as he got in the car.
Song Ming's expression suddenly changed.
His right hand shot backward.
Bang!!
He precisely grabbed someone's throat.
Due to his extreme anger, his grip was so tight that it seemed he would crush the person's throat.
"Who are you?"
Song Ming growled in a low voice, filled with suppressed rage.
Seeing no response from the person, Song Ming used his strength.
He pulled the person from the back seat to the front.
In the dim car light, Song Ming clearly saw the person's appearance.
It was... a man in black robes.
The black-robed man spoke in a hoarse voice, completely unfazed by his current situation. He just looked at Song Ming meaningfully and slowly said, "As expected of the Rakshasa King, your perception is as strong as my master said."
"Your master?"
Song Ming frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
The black-robed man chuckled, "Heh, don't be hasty, Rakshasa King. I'm here to deliver a message from my master."
As he spoke, he took out a small speaker.
The next moment.
An unprocessed female voice came through.
"Hehe, Song Ming, forgive my subordinate's rudeness."
"However, I believe you won't refuse the deal I'm about to propose."
And with this voice's appearance.
Song Ming's expression changed dramatically, and he almost screamed, "Shangguan Chuxue?!"
Then.
He quickly looked around, lowered his voice, and slowly said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
As he spoke, he also released the man in black.
Shangguan Chuxue's voice continued, "It's simple. I've found a very interesting opponent in Jiang City."
"Oh, you know her too. She just happened to beat up your sister~~"
"Hmm~ quite badly too."
Hearing this, Song Ming guessed the person's identity, his gaze darkening: "Su Muwan? She's your new target?"
For some reason.
When he learned that Shangguan Chuxue had targeted Su Muwan as her new prey.
Song Ming... wasn't as angry anymore.
Instead, he felt a hint of mockery towards Su Muwan.
Heh.
Shangguan Chuxue was an extremely dangerous woman.
He had witnessed this six years ago.
Or rather...
The main reason the Rakshasa Palace could be established was actually because of Shangguan Chuxue's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
And his ability to enter the world's most brutal prison for six years to learn martial arts there.
Actually... was also Shangguan Chuxue's secret operation.
It could be said that he had an inherent wariness towards this woman.
If not necessary, he didn't want to cooperate with her.
But.
Song Ming calmed down.
If someone could be considered worthy as Shangguan Chuxue's opponent, then this Su Muwan definitely couldn't be underestimated!
He really had been blinded by rage, and might have nearly fallen into a trap.
Thinking this, he calmly said, "Tell me your plan."
"Heh, it's simple. Do you know about the War God?"
"Of course... six years ago, he was a peak-level warrior who pacified the borders, but due to one battle, his powers greatly diminished."
"Perhaps now... many in the War God Temple want him dead."
Hearing this, Shangguan Chuxue gave a light laugh: "The War God has a wife and daughter who work under Su Muwan."
"Most importantly... Su Muwan has the War God's Command Token."
"And the War God... maintains a cautious attitude towards Su Muwan."
"I've already sent my people to the War God and his family."
"My plan is as follows..."
Half an hour later.
Song Ming's expression was shocked.
He hesitated and said, "Is that Su Muwan really worth you spending so much effort to play such a game?"
"Heh, of course."
Shangguan Chuxue's voice carried a mysterious meaning: "I'm very good at reading people. She... is the same kind as me."
"So, Song Ming, if you act alone, you'll definitely suffer the biggest setback of your life, just like the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace and the Divine Doctor."
"To deal with this kind of person... only... cooperative win-win will work."
Hiss!
Hearing this, Song Ming took a deep breath.
He didn't believe Su Muwan had such capability, but he believed in this dangerous woman, Shangguan Chuxue.
Therefore!
"Fine, I'll cooperate with you."
"Hehe, that's the wisest decision you've ever made."
.....
.....
Su Family residence.
Living room.
"Achoo!"
Su Muwan, who had been thinking about doing something proper this morning, suddenly sneezed.
She alertly raised her head, feeling that someone must be talking about her again.
"Young Miss, here's a tissue."
Qin Luo walked over, pulled out a tissue, and held it to Su Muwan's nose.
"Mmm—swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~~"
Su Muwan felt better.
Qin Luo helplessly said, "Young Miss, didn't you say you were going to recruit members for our forces?"
"Why are you playing games again?"
As he spoke, Qin Luo looked at the black monkey on the TV screen.
This was a new game he bought for Su Muwan today, called Black Myth: Wukong.
But because the name was too long, and the protagonist was a monkey.
So Su Muwan always called it...
"Eh~ but I just want to play Monkey God now~"
Su Muwan swayed her body.
Tomorrow's matters could wait until tomorrow; right now, she just wanted to play.
"Sigh."
Qin Luo sighed.
Well, looks like he'd have to search for talent himself.
After all....
His newly acquired reward [Iron Blood Leader (Will increase the morale of all force members, doubling their combat power)]
Had an extremely powerful effect.
A mysterious look appeared in Qin Luo's eyes.
The more people they had, the stronger this title's benefits would be.
Currently, their somewhat serious force members included... the Situ Family, Jiang Zixuan, Huang Lingfeng, Huang Lingyu, and the Divine Doctor and his disciples.
The Divine Doctor himself didn't have much influence; those big families only gave him face because of his medical skills, so they couldn't be counted as force members.
So... the numbers were still too few.
These underworld forces were expanding far faster than them.
In that case.
Qin Luo looked at the loyalty value panel.
725, this was the amount accumulated from that night until now.
Hmm.
Enough.
He mentally commanded.
"Little Dog, spend it all to search for... A-rank or above talent!"
[Yes, master!]
[Starting search now!]
[.....]
[Found one person, cost 100 loyalty points!]
[Chen Gong, T1 protagonist of "When You Ignored My Love Before, Why Are You Crying Now That I've Stopped Chasing?"]
Hmm? So it's even possible to find protagonists?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you."

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
