What's going on!
Xing Yunhai revealed anger and asked coldly.
He needed a reasonable explanation!
His reinforcements hadn't arrived, so why had this group of people come instead!
Xu Kang whispered: Palace Master, prepare for battle.
Xu Kang knew clearly that these martial artists from their Heavenly Palace were not all their forces.
Nearly half of the people had been stationed by Xing Yunhai on the outskirts of the floating island, precisely to prevent petty opportunists from taking advantage of the chaos.
Now, Cheng Yuanfeng leading the martial artists to charge into the floating island already indicated that these people had broken through the outer defenses.
The Bai Family, the Hua Family, the Breath Control Sect...
Xu Kang's eyes showed a trace of gravity. There weren't many of these people, but each one was an expert!
Wu Chen withdrew his golden light, sweat beading on his bald head.
He saw that the youth leading the Bai Family group was that kid named Bai Xiu.
The group had already rushed to the floating island's sky bridge.
"Hahaha, Brother Bai, I never expected that among the Bai Family's younger generation, there would be such a powerful expert."
The Hua Family's patriarch, a rough-looking old man dark as charcoal.
Bai Chenshan said: "Brother Hua, I'll have to rely on you later."
Both had once been elders of the Heavenly Palace, experts at the late Spirit Gathering stage!
They were absolutely among the top fighters present.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about? The Heavenly Palace absolutely cannot fall into the hands of these two. I, the old man, am the first to disagree!"
Grandpa Hua looked at Hua Fengyu beside him and roared: "Grandson, perform well later. The Hua Family people must not be looked down upon."
Hua Fengyu felt somewhat speechless.
Wanting him to compare with Bai Xiu? How was that possible!
Bai Chenshan chuckled lightly.
Now, Bai Xiu was the pride of their Bai Family!
Grandpa Hua looked at Bai Xiu riding ahead on a horned horse and quickly said: "Brother Bai, your grandson... seems to be asleep..."
Ning Er, traveling alongside them, swiftly grabbed Bai Xiu with one hand and grinned: "Senior Hua, don't worry, we'll keep an eye on him!"
Grandpa Hua hesitated: "Is this kid of yours really capable or not?"
"Well then, Brother Hua, you'll just have to watch closely." Bai Chenshan revealed a smile.
Bai Xiu was originally extremely powerful, and a few days ago, after devouring the Bai Family's ancestral lightning, his strength had advanced another level!
It's just a pity, no one knows when he'll wake up...
The Breath Control Sect charged at the very front.
Cheng Yuanfeng utilized his breath control technique, taking the lead.
His clothes were stained with blood, clearly having already experienced a fight.
The martial artists Xing Yunhai had dispatched to the outskirts were numerous.
But the Breath Control Sect, the Bai Family, and the Hua Family were not to be trifled with either.
After resisting those outer martial artists.
Their elite forces turned into a sharp blade, heading straight for the heart of the Heavenly Palace, planning to resolve things quickly.
Cheng Yuanfeng downed the last mouthful of Erguotou, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.
Twenty years ago, his family was destroyed.
Who would have thought that twenty years later, he would return.
Reluctantly finishing the last of the Erguotou, he tossed the bottle into the air, where it suddenly shattered.
Cheng Yuanfeng's body became enveloped in swirling protective energy as he rode the wind, charging straight at Xing Yunhai!
"You actually didn't die!"
Xing Yunhai's eyes were icy.
Back during the tavern assassination attempt, he had counterattacked and wounded him.
He thought Cheng Yuanfeng would die, never expecting him to survive unscathed.
Not only that, but his strength had also reached the early Heavenly Guardian stage!
Energy swirled around Cheng Yuanfeng's fingertips as he said slowly: "Heavenly Palace, it's time to repay the debt!"
Wu Chen and Xu Kang stepped forward, blocking the way.
"Hey, these two brats, leave them to us old brothers!"
Grandpa Hua let out a great shout, like thunderclap.
Bai Chenshan, holding a double-edged spear, followed closely behind.
Xu Kang glanced at the situation, his eyes dimming as he inwardly cursed, "This is bad."
In terms of strength, both Bai Chenshan and Grandpa Hua had once been Heavenly Palace elders.
He and Wu Chen could entangle them, but they were definitely no match!
However, their side had more martial artists in number, holding the advantage! Once the outer martial artists freed up their hands to support, these people wouldn't be a problem.
The rest would depend on the contest between Xing Yunhai and Cheng Yuanfeng.
Boom!
Protective gales collided with golden blade radiance!
The two who clashed head-on were both forced back several meters.
The golden blade in Xing Yunhai's hand shone brilliantly as he sneered: "Early Heavenly Guardian stage? Something's off. Last time we fought, you were still at the late Spirit Gathering stage."
A fierce azure protective gale swirled around Cheng Yuanfeng as he said plainly: "My strength has just recovered, that's all."
Twenty years ago, his strength had been at the early Heavenly Guardian stage!
Blade radiance and protective energy collided!
The shockwaves from the impacts meant no one dared to approach within a one-mile radius, fearing they would be caught in the fallout.
After several rounds of entanglement.
Xing Yunhai gasped for breath, the hand holding the golden blade trembling slightly.
Although both were at the early Heavenly Guardian stage, in terms of actual combat power, he was no match for Cheng Yuanfeng at his peak.
At this moment, a whirlwind began to swirl around Cheng Yuanfeng, the terrifying gale like sharp blades cutting forward!
Xing Yunhai let out a roar, using the blade's body to defend.
Bang!
The golden blade was sent flying!
At the same time, Cheng Yuanfeng's figure had already darted forward like a ghost.
His hand rose in a sword-finger gesture, slashing towards Xing Yunhai's neck.
Sssshhh!
Blood sprayed. Xing Yunhai staggered back two steps.
Cheng Yuanfeng frowned.
Not dead!
This fat man's defensive power was truly terrifying; it actually hadn't pierced his throat.
"Spirit-Returning Pill! No wonder your strength surged suddenly. It's all just a bluff."
Xing Yunhai retreated, wiped the blood from his neck, gasped heavily, and grinned wildly: "Thinking you can rebel with just this bunch of old fogies!"
Cheng Yuanfeng, Bai Chenshan, plus Grandpa Hua.
The ones who could really fight were just these three.
The other martial artists, although skilled, were ultimately too few in number.
Now, as long as they held out until those outer martial artists arrived for support, Cheng Yuanfeng would surely be defeated.
A smile curled at the corner of Cheng Yuanfeng's mouth: "Who said it's only us!"
Xing Yunhai's eyes turned sharp.
Bluffing?
Looking across the Heavenly Palace, all the powerful major sects had submitted to him.
The remaining minor sects were insignificant.
He really couldn't think of any reason Cheng Yuanfeng could win.
"You little bald donkey, take this old man's hammer!"
Grandpa Hua's great hammer smashed down fiercely.
The defensive line formed by dozens of Buddhist prayer beads was instantly torn apart!
Wu Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit wilting.
Elder Hua had always been the strongest among the Heavenly Palace's three great elders.
Otherwise, back then, he wouldn't have been so overbearing as to directly ignore Murong Qinghong and establish his own independent faction.
Hearing the commotion!
Wu Chen looked at the figures below the floating island, a smile curling on his lips.
The reinforcements from the outskirts had arrived!
Then, his smile froze.
These... were not their outer martial artists...
Xu Kang's face darkened. He never expected the final reinforcements to be the enemy!
"That's... the Asura Sect!"
Bai Chenshan sent Xu Kang reeling back with a spear thrust and said calmly.
"Support them, quickly!"
Shangguan Qianqian's black long hair was tied in a ponytail, giving off a heroic and spirited air.
Her face, devoid of any makeup and breathtakingly beautiful, showed anxiety.
She hadn't expected Cheng Yuanfeng to strike first without waiting for them.
But, thankfully, they made it in time!
Behind her were the Asura Sect members.
Gu Changfeng, Xiao Yike, Han Liang, Kim Jung-ho led the Asura Sect's main force, a mighty contingent of over a thousand people.
The martial artists Xing Yunhai had stationed in the outskirts were, not long after the Asura Sect's arrival, shattered by the charge and fled in panic.
Those martial artists never had much loyalty to Xing Yunhai to begin with; they had only sided with him for the grand promises made if they helped him become Palace Master.
Now, at this life-and-death juncture, how could he possibly continue to work for him?
Seeing the members of the Asura Sect appear, Xing Yunhai's last hope vanished.
He had lost.
The position of Heavenly Palace Master, barely secured and not yet warmed, was to be handed over to someone else just like that?
He refused to accept it!
Xing Yunhai's eyes turned icy as he looked toward Xing Yunjun, who was bound by the punishment shackles, his expression one of madness.
No, he still had one final card to play!

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)

ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

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."
