An Yi carried an oil-paper bag.
It was filled with all kinds of food.
He’d been staying under the bridge lately, eating nothing but instant noodles and barbecue—all junk food that was starting to make him feel overheated.
Following behind An Yi was Long Aoxue.
She was chewing on a pastry, trailing him step by step, her stunning looks drawing countless eyes.
“An Yi, I want to eat this!”
Long Aoxue pointed at something that looked like candy, tugged at his sleeve, and said with pleading eyes.
An Yi said flatly, “Don’t buy anything else. Do you really think we’re out shopping?”
Ye Tian was still left behind under the bridge, with no one to look after him!
Whatever they bought had to be quick and to the point.
Long Aoxue had no choice but to nod and quickly catch up with An Yi.
When they returned to the bridge, they were shocked to find that Ye Tian’s figure had vanished.
“Ye Tian’s gone!”
An Yi’s eyes turned fierce.
He had only been gone for such a short time, and Ye Tian had already disappeared!
Judging from the messy signs of destruction under the bridge, it looked like he had been forcibly taken away.
For someone to act so quickly, it meant the bridge’s location had already been exposed!
And those people had probably been lying in wait for a long time, just waiting for him to leave the moment they captured Ye Tian.
“Those bastards. When a tiger doesn’t roar, they take me for a sick cat!”
An Yi’s eyes turned icy, and he slowly put on his ghost mask.
Beside him, Long Aoxue looked timid.
She could feel that An Yi was very angry right now.
……
In the city lord’s mansion, inside the dungeon.
Ye Tian was tied to a rack, his blood seeping through the wounds and staining the bandages.
He clenched his teeth, his eyes cold and sharp.
The moment An Yi had stepped out, an old man wielding a long blade and possessing a mid-Tiangong cultivation had arrived and kidnapped him without any hesitation. The entire process was crisp and clean, leaving Ye Tian barely able to swing his Coiling Dragon Halberd a few times.
Old Mo looked at Ye Tian, a grin spreading across his face.
They had long discovered Ye Tian’s hiding spot, but none of them dared to act rashly.
After all, he wasn’t confident he could beat Pockmark Wang.
Only after confirming that man was gone did he muster the courage to strike at the injured Ye Tian.
Now that he had captured Ye Tian, this was a significant achievement.
Next, he could wait for the city lord to interrogate him under torture.
“Old Mo, well done. Even you managed to catch him!”
Qi Zun strolled in slowly and gave Old Mo a thumbs-up.
Behind him followed a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress, ethereal as a fairy.
“Young city lord!”
Old Mo’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “This is all thanks to the guards’ efforts. I only made a small move, nothing more.”
Qi Zun nodded. “True enough. With injuries like his, anyone else could’ve caught him.”
Old Mo was left speechless at that, feeling deeply wronged.
I was just being modest, and you had to go and dismiss my contributions entirely?
“Alright, you can leave now. I’ll interrogate this guy myself.”
Qi Zun turned to look at Ye Tian in the cell and said leisurely.
Old Mo glanced at the red-dressed woman beside Qi Zun and sighed softly.
A femme fatale!
Ever since this woman had appeared, the young city lord had become far too reckless!
The entire dungeon now held only Qi Zun, the red-dressed woman, and the bound Ye Tian.
“You can go too.”
The red-dressed woman parted her cherry lips and spoke softly.
Qi Zun’s eyes glowed with a red light, and he acted extremely obediently, bowing as he stepped back.
Creak!
The cell door opened.
The red-dressed woman stepped in gracefully, swaying her hips as she approached.
Ye Tian looked up and saw the woman before him. He froze slightly, his pupils sharply contracting.
“It’s... you!”
……
In the city lord’s mansion, in the great hall.
City Lord Qi Hong and the Xu family members—two groups that should have been at odds—were instead enjoying tea together in harmony.
“I never imagined the city lord would catch the murderer of my beloved daughter so quickly. Xu is endlessly grateful!”
Xu Chun spoke with reddened eyes, his tone mournful.
Qi Hong waved his hand and sighed, “You and I have been brothers for years. Saying that makes us strangers. Yi Yun was the fiancée our Qi family had chosen. For something like this to happen, it pains me more than cutting into my own heart!”
Both of them put on a show of grief.
It seemed they had forgotten all about how Xu Yiyun had cuckolded Qi Zun in every way possible.
And how Qi Zun had arrogantly claimed he had killed Xu Yiyun with his own hands.
After a round of insincere heart-to-heart talk, Xu Chun said with red eyes, “City Lord, even though Ye Tian has been captured, his attendant Pockmark Wang is no small fry. Please don’t take this lightly.”
“A lackey for a loser—no matter how strong, how far can he go?”
Qi Hong wore a look of arrogance.
He seemed to have no regard for Pockmark Wang.
Xu Chun said slowly, “I still suggest tightening security. This Pockmark Wang is full of tricks and extremely powerful. We must be on guard.”
Qi Hong laughed heartily, “Brother Xu, we’ve known each other for years. Do you think so little of the Qi family’s strength?”
Xu Chun quickly replied, “Of course not, of course not.”
At the same time, a cold smile crept across his lips.
He knew well that Pockmark Wang was no ordinary character.
If a real fight broke out, even better!
Let the snipe and the clam grapple, so the fisherman could reap the reward.
He would take down the city lord’s mansion in one fell swoop and capture Pockmark Wang alive.
As for his daughter? Ha, he still had another!
Though she was only fifteen and still young, borrowing her for breeding purposes shouldn’t be an issue.
As long as he could obtain the Nine Yang Meridian bloodline, the Xu family might just rise to prominence!
“Rest assured, Lord Xu. As for Pockmark Wang, I’ll have his head in three moves at most!”
From behind, a burly warrior with a dark face and a proud tone spoke up.
Xu Chun looked puzzled and pondered, “And these are…?”
He had noticed a group of spirit practitioners behind them earlier.
But their faces seemed unfamiliar.
Among them, he recognized the two guards in armor, the twins known as the Twin Killers.
As for the others, including the dark-faced man, Xu Chun had no clue who they were.
“Go ahead and show yourselves.”
Qi Hong blew on his tea leaves and said slowly.
In an instant, the eight spirit practitioners released their spiritual pressure all at once.
Xu Chun’s face turned pale, and his arms trembled slightly.
Eight spirit practitioners—six at mid-Tiangong cultivation and two at late-Tiangong cultivation!
He realized this was also a demonstration of power aimed at the Xu family.
Xu Chun’s expression darkened.
The three mid-Tiangong spirit practitioners following him represented the Xu family’s strongest force.
But before the city lord’s mansion, they were nothing!
“Where’s that old Mo fellow? Why isn’t he at such an important occasion?”
Qi Hong frowned, appearing displeased as he asked.
As if reminding Xu Chun that there was still one more mid-Tiangong warrior in their ranks who wasn’t present.
The dark-faced man spoke up loudly, “Old Mo is guarding the dungeon, ensuring not even a fly can get in.”
Qi Hong nodded and chuckled, “Good, leave it to him. Old Mo is a steady man, and I value him highly. Don’t you agree, Brother Xu?”
Xu Chun gave a forced smile and nodded, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He had underestimated Qi City’s strength. Could this be a trap?
“Now that all the great masters of Qi City are gathered here, that Pockmark Wang has probably already tucked tail and fled in panic!”
Qi Hong stroked his beard with pride.
In Qi City, he was the law!
How could he possibly be threatened by some Pockmark Wang?
At that moment, a voice thundered through the sky, as loud as a thunderclap, deafening!
“Speak, you old dog Qi hong, hand the person over!”
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.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
