The foremost of the Four Great Demon Halls of the Hundred Ghosts Sect! Bi Jia!
The eerie green-haired youth slowly stepped forward and spoke.
His gaze towards Lin Chen was filled with hatred!
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Among the Four Great Demon Halls, Chi Xiao had died at the hands of An Yi, and Zi Xin had been subdued by a rogue Taoist priest.
Hei Xi had just been killed by him with a wind explosion a few days ago.
He never expected that now, another one, Bi Jia, had arrived!
Was it you who killed Hei Geng? Bi Jia asked coldly.
Lin Chen replied slowly, "If you're referring to that giant rhinoceros, then yes, it was me."
Still so arrogant!
Bi Jia snapped his fingers.
Instantly, figures emerged from the forest, densely packed, surrounding the area.
They were all elites of the Hundred Ghosts Sect!
Bi Jia was clearly not taking any chances.
If the opponent could slay Hei Xi, then dealing with him would naturally be no trouble at all.
Bi Jia stepped forward, staring coldly at Lin Chen. "This time, you won't escape even if you grow wings!"
Escape?
A cold smile curled on Lin Chen's lips.
If this had happened before, perhaps he really would have died here.
Unfortunately, these guys picked the wrong time!
A biting wind force materialized!
Lin Chen, holding his cane with one hand, strode forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three steps!
Three Huanjing martial artists, their cultivation insufficient to withstand the pressure, directly exploded and died.
Even those Xujing martial artists felt their blood and qi churn violently.
Bi Jia's expression changed drastically. "You..."
Qi, it's everywhere!
Lin Chen's icy eyes locked onto him.
In that instant, Bi Jia felt as if Death itself had fixed its gaze upon him, his heart missing a beat!
Immediately after!
A massive blade of air slashed towards him.
The fierce energy howled as it came!
Bi Jia wanted to move, but found himself completely immobilized.
It was as if streams of air, like countless arms, held him firmly in place.
Accompanied by a sharp shriek!
Bi Jia transformed into a giant mantis, forcibly breaking free from Lin Chen's air restraints.
Do you think you can escape?
Lin Chen raised his hand, and rolling waves of air surged forth.
It seemed as though it wasn't he who was surrounded, but rather he alone who had surrounded all these Hundred Ghosts Sect martial artists!
The transformed mantis, Bi Jia, instantly sensed the terror.
Without hesitation, it screeched, "Everyone, flee!"
Too late!
Lin Chen, using the Swift Shadow Step, appeared above Bi Jia and swung his cane down...
Tap, tap...
Lin Chen retracted his cane and walked slowly out of the Tianluo Forest.
Behind him lay corpses scattered in disarray, and the dead body of a giant mantis demon beast.
In another world, far away.
An old man shrouded in a cloak suddenly opened his eyes.
Pushing the hood back, the left side of the old man's face was covered in black tattoos, turning his originally kindly face somewhat ferocious.
Looking closely, one could vaguely make out the totem of a bird.
"Bi Jia is dead too."
The old man slowly stood up, looking at the spirit pearl floating in the air, now extinguished, and spoke calmly.
The deaths of two Demon Hall masters meant that in the Immortal Gate's minor world, the Hundred Ghosts Sect had already been defeated, their century-long plan utterly ruined.
"After lying low for so long, I wonder if these old bones of mine can still move."
The old man murmured, slowly walking out, his eyes filled with icy killing intent. "It's time to meet a few old friends."
A black vortex appeared, and his figure slowly stepped into it...
The peak of the Floating Island.
Already high in the sky, the temperature atop the Floating Island was extremely low, with a biting cold wind that chilled to the bone.
A portly man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing down at the palace below, as small as a box from this height, his expression pensive.
"How is Wu Chen?" Xing Yunhai asked leisurely.
Behind him, Xu Kang replied respectfully, "Fully recovered!"
"Hah, the Bai family is truly amusing. To think they found some bastard from who-knows-where, trying to turn the tables!"
Xing Yunhai's eyes turned cold.
Failing to subdue the Bai family was a miscalculation in the plan!
However, fortunately, that woman Murong Qinghong also failed to swallow up the Bai family.
"What comes next is the true war of conquest!"
"Guardian Xu, what do you think our chances of victory are?" Xing Yunhai asked casually.
Xu Kang's lips trembled slightly. "Seventy percent!"
"Tell the truth!" Xing Yunhai said sternly.
Xu Kang sighed. "I'm afraid it's only thirty percent."
Having been by Murong Qinghong's side for so long, he knew this woman's hidden cards.
The entire Celestial Palace had lain dormant for twenty years, not merely to bide its time.
The forces she had built were not just the Golden Armor Guards; that was only the visible power.
In comparison, Xing Yunhai's overall strength seemed rather weak.
It was all composed of various rogues and vagrants he had gathered over the years.
A motley crew. Although they had the advantage in numbers, it was hard to have confidence in victory.
Xing Yunhai said calmly, "But this is the best chance. If I miss it, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the rest of my life playing the part of a pig."
Xu Kang's expression was indifferent.
"Give the order!"
Xing Yunhai took one last look at the magnificent grandeur of the Celestial Palace.
Soon, this place would become a living hell.
Inside the bedchamber of the Celestial Palace.
"Master, what... what are you going to do?"
Nannan asked softly, looking up at Murong Qinghong with wide eyes.
An intense sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
Looking into Nannan's large, grape-like eyes, Murong Qinghong felt a surge of tenderness for her for the first time.
This was her daughter.
Her daughter with that man!
Yet she herself had not fulfilled a single day of a mother's duty. Instead, she had always regarded her as her own shame.
She reached out and stroked Nannan's hair, a rare smile curling at the corner of her mouth as she said gently, "Be good, Nannan. Master can't be with you forever. You must listen to Aunt Qing."
Nannan looked at Murong Qinghong, then stepped forward and hugged her leg. "Is Master abandoning Nannan? Nannan doesn't want to leave Master..."
Although Murong Qinghong had never been kind to her, she had always regarded Murong Qinghong as the closest person in her life!
Murong Qinghong took a deep breath, pried Nannan's small hands away, and with a wave of her hand, Nannan fell unconscious.
Turning to the Golden Armor Guard Commander, Zhou Qingqing, Murong Qinghong handed Nannan to her and commanded, "Commander Zhou, take her away!"
"But, Palace Master, you..."
Zhou Qingqing's face was sorrowful, her voice choked.
"This is an order!"
Murong Qinghong's expression was complex as she murmured, "Remember, never speak of me to her in the future. Let her live as an ordinary person, carefree and happy."
Zhou Qingqing, tears in her eyes, nodded solemnly.
Without further hesitation, Murong Qinghong picked up her sword, turned, and walked out of the chamber, the cape behind her light armor fluttering in the wind.
Outside the palace, the sounds of battle had already begun to ring out...
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
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)
