After leaving the night market, the road grew increasingly empty and silent. There wasn't a soul in sight.
"Someone's here!"
An Yi grabbed Shen Muxuan's hand, took two steps, and suddenly stopped.
Shen Muxuan looked around cautiously, then leaned in close with a solemn expression, whispering, "Where?"
"Watch closely."
An Yi chuckled softly, crouched down, and tapped the ground lightly with his finger.
With him as the center, dark shadows on the ground turned into streams of flowing light, chasing outwards like swimming fish.
"What is this?" Shen Muxuan crouched down beside him, staring wide-eyed at the black shadows, asking curiously.
"Black Soul Art!"
An Yi grinned. "Just a little trick from the Dark element."
His strength was now at the late stage of the Spirit Gathering realm.
He wasn't very proficient in spiritual arts of other elements, but he could easily perform some of the Dark element arts he had learned previously.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out abruptly.
Behind them, three men stiffened and collapsed, falling unconscious.
Shen Muxuan was shocked. "How did you do that?"
An Yi said proudly, "It's a secret!"
"However, it seems you missed one," Shen Muxuan said with a giggle.
Thud!
In another spot, a frozen figure hit the ground.
An Yi looked at Shen Muxuan in disbelief.
What was going on? Was this girl's perception even stronger than his?
Shen Muxuan looked triumphant, putting her hands on her hips and humming softly. "I'm very formidable too, you know."
She possessed the Heavenly Yin Spirit Vein, which was also an extremely rare variant: the Ice Spirit Vein.
Her cultivation talent was excellent, and combined with her previous foundation, she was already at the early stage of the Spirit Gathering realm.
"Fine, you're the most formidable," An Yi said with a perfunctory smile.
Shen Muxuan gave him a reproachful look and asked curiously, "Why were they following us?"
"They weren't following us," An Yi mused.
"Then why did you attack..."
Shen Muxuan's eyes widened.
"They didn't feel like good people, so I just took care of them in passing."
An Yi brushed his finger, and a pitch-black longsword appeared in his hand.
These people carried a heavy aura of malevolence.
You don't get an aura that heavy without having taken a few lives.
As the Master of the Asura Gate, the big boss of the An family company, fourth on the Heaven Rankings, and the owner of a Lamborghini Veneno worth over a hundred million...
Of course, none of that really mattered; he simply couldn't sit by and watch.
At the same time, a cold, stoic face appeared opposite him. They had bumped into each other by chance.
Their eyes met.
Lin Chen frowned and muttered, "Bad luck."
"Hey now, Poker Face, what are you saying? I'm your boss!"
An Yi said with a fake smile.
Raising his reputation points was imminent.
He was going to assign this Poker Face to the position of toilet scrubber!
"An Yi!"
Upon seeing An Yi, Qin Yao chased after him hurriedly, her eyes revealing a hint of joy. "I knew I didn't recognize the wrong person... Muxuan, you—you're here too?"
"Yao Yao, hello!" Shen Muxuan raised her hand and greeted her with a beaming smile.
Qin Yao smiled. "Muxuan, when did you get back?"
"Just a few days ago. It's been a long time."
"Yes, yes. Muxuan, why didn't you tell anyone you were back?"
"..."
Watching the two girls chat affectionately, An Yi felt like he had thorns in his back. He was sitting on pins and needles!
He had been careful enough!
He didn't expect to run into them even after leaving the night market.
"It's dangerous right now. This isn't the time to catch up," Lin Chen said in a deep voice, scanning the area ahead.
Through his wind perception, he sensed two very dangerous auras!
An Yi, holding the Dragon Tooth Demon Sword, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Right, right, it's very dangerous right now!"
As they spoke, a group of ferocious-looking individuals swarmed in from all directions, a massive crowd.
It looked quite like a gangster gathering.
The only thing missing was some blood-pumping background music!
"Where did these two kids come from? They beat up four or five of our brothers!"
"Never seen them. Damn it, I've never seen anyone so arrogant."
They were martial artists of the Poison Sect.
They had prepared to hunt down Zhang Fan, but unexpectedly, before they even saw him, these two kids had taken out four or five of their brothers.
An Yi asked curiously, "Old Lin, I remember the Poison Sect is that guy Zhang Fan's organization, right?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
Although there were over a hundred people, he didn't really regard them as a threat.
There wasn't a single Void Realm expert; the strongest among them were merely Transformation Realm masters.
Whether it was him or An Yi, either one could take them all on alone.
"Yo, did you see those two chicks?"
"Beautiful! Holy crap!"
A group of Poison Sect martial artists couldn't take their eyes off Qin Yao and the other girl.
They were lawless individuals to begin with!
Moreover, Shen Muxuan and Qin Yao were both beauties scoring over 9 out of 10; how could they possibly let them go?
At the very front, a bald man grinned. "Brothers, kill the two kids. We'll take the two women together."
"Don't be like that. Chop off their hands and let these two brats watch. Wouldn't that be better?"
Another middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked refined and gentle, said with a smile.
"Makes sense!"
The bald giant laughed heartily, then—thud—he collapsed.
A sword blade had sliced open his back, and blood flowed into a pool.
An Yi slowly sheathed his sword.
Everyone was startled.
Was this kid a ghost?
"Careful! This kid isn't simple!"
The Poison Sect martial artists retreated one after another, putting distance between themselves and An Yi.
An Yi revealed an arrogant expression, raised his hand, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, snapped his fingers.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
The chests of a dozen men in the front row exploded, killing them instantly.
Everyone shuddered, looking at An Yi with eyes full of terror.
How did this kid do that!
Behind An Yi, Lin Chen, who was manipulating the Air Control Technique with a clenched fist, looked gloomy.
This guy... was truly shameless!
An Yi looked at the crowd with contempt and said indifferently, "Scared yet?"
"Watch out!"
Lin Chen shouted hurriedly.
At that moment, a beam of fire rushed towards them.
An Yi's gaze darkened slightly. He raised his hand, forming an wall of air.
Bang!
After blocking the fire beam, the air wall shattered, and flames splashed everywhere.
Just as the scattered fire was about to ignite the surrounding buildings, the flames suddenly froze in the air!
They abruptly disintegrated into finer sparks and extinguished!
Lin Chen slowly unclenched his fist, dispersing his spiritual energy, and said, "Your Air Control Technique is as lousy as ever."
An Yi, holding the Dragon Tooth Demon Sword, looked in the direction the fire had come from and said in a deep voice, "A late-stage Spirit Gathering martial artist... doesn't seem human."
"Heh heh, impressive! You actually spotted me."
At this moment, a child with green skin walked out from the shadows.
He wasn't tall and let out a distinctive "heh heh heh" laugh that was hair-raising.
"A toad?" An Yi asked curiously.
The child's laughter came to an abrupt halt. "How did you know?"
An Yi raised an eyebrow. A level five demon beast, the Green Fire Toad!
In his current state, he wouldn't really consider it a threat, but the problem was, this was the secular world—how could there be a level five demon beast here?
Things were getting more and more chaotic.
"Ghost Vine is almost done on his side. Qing Chan, don't drag this out!"
Not far away, a blonde man radiating a suffocating aura walked over slowly.
Lin Chen's expression became grave as he drew the Splitting Cloud Tonfa from his waist.
These two guys don't seem simple. It's time to get serious.
A sinister smile surfaced on Qing Chan's childish face. "Both leaders of the Shura Gate are here. I really want to know why the Sect Master would be wary of small fry like them!"
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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'!"
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.
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.
