Seeing the woman approach with graceful steps, Wu Huan’s eyes narrowed into a smile.
“Who are you?”
Hong Lian lightly shifted her feet and slowly raised her head to look at him. “This little one is Hong Lian.”
“Haha, what a lovely name. A lovely name indeed.”
Wu Huan’s eyes roamed over her alluring figure.
A beauty like this was someone he had rarely had the chance to enjoy.
She possessed a naturally seductive allure and a graceful figure. Every frown and smile was enough to captivate the senses.
Yet, for some reason, he always felt that there was something strange about this woman.
Especially those eyes. They held a calmness far beyond that of ordinary people, as if they could see through the endless ages.
But none of that mattered. As long as she was beautiful, that was enough.
He did not necessarily need the blood of young girls. Every so often, he had to indulge himself and savor a little pleasure.
Wu Huan looked at her and smiled. “Take off your clothes.”
“This…”
Hong Lian feigned surprise, hesitation appearing on her face as she slowly loosened her sash.
At that moment, a gleaming blade suddenly sprang into action, lying in wait…
The silver moon hung high in the sky.
Zhang Qi’s expression was grim as he lightly pressed his palm against the ground.
Streams of wood spiritual energy seeped from the earth and spread in every direction.
“Have you found them?” Yan Kui asked nervously.
They had already searched the entire area, yet they could not find any trace of the two women.
Zhang Qi shook his head and said in a low voice, “I’ll try again.”
As he spoke, he suddenly sensed something. His expression brightened. “There’s a fluctuation of earth spiritual energy. The two of them must be hidden over there!”
“Not bad. For someone only at the mid-stage Spirit Gathering Realm to sense the barrier I set up—you have some ability.”
A gruff voice came from behind them.
Zhang Qi’s expression changed, and he instinctively dodged to the side.
A jagged spike of rock burst from the ground where Zhang Qi had been standing moments earlier.
“Not bad.”
The heavy footsteps of the Gold Armored Soldier approached with a clanking sound. The broad sword in his hand gleamed coldly beneath the moonlight.
“You bastard! Were you the one who kidnapped Qiansui?”
The massive hammer in Yan Kui’s hands came crashing down toward the Gold Armored Soldier, wrapped in rolling arcs of lightning.
“This one is suitable too. His lightning spiritual energy is quite impressive. In the Divine Spirit Cult, he could become a Holy Knight.”
The Gold Armored Soldier spoke slowly as earth spiritual energy surged around him.
The other three students also launched their attacks. Wind blades, golden radiance, and water spheres flew toward him.
“Interesting. Very interesting. You’re all quite good.”
Admiration colored the Gold Armored Soldier’s voice, but then his tone shifted as he drawled, “What a pity. The Divine Spirit Cult isn’t a place you children can afford to provoke.”
He swept his broad sword sideways. Yan Kui, standing at the front, bore the brunt of the attack and was struck by the blade.
Clang!
Yan Kui raised his massive hammer. Lightning spiritual energy covered its surface, forming something like a shield.
The Gold Armored Soldier looked puzzled, apparently surprised that the dark-skinned giant had managed to block his attack.
“Now!”
Yan Kui knocked the broad sword aside and shouted.
Zhang Qi was the first to react. His long sword radiated a green glow as it transformed into three overlapping sword images that slashed toward the Gold Armored Soldier.
“An illusion? How boring…”
Before the Gold Armored Soldier could finish speaking, the three blades had already struck his faceplate. They were real.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The faceplate caved in from the impacts and fell away.
Revealed beneath it was a ragged, horrifying face of ghostly purple.
In an instant, the expressions of Zhang Qi and the other special-admission students changed.
An unfamiliar racial name surfaced in their minds.
The Sand Clan!
“Damn it!”
Anger appeared on the Gold Armored Soldier’s face. His features twisted savagely, and his helmet fell away, revealing disheveled hair.
Clang!
The broad sword descended with an unstoppable force, stirring up layers of earth spiritual energy as it slashed toward Zhang Qi.
Relying on his exceptional perception, Zhang Qi had prepared in advance, but he was still caught by the sword energy and sent tumbling through the air.
“Longhair!”
Yan Kui’s expression changed in alarm. Zhang Qi had been sent flying without even managing to touch the other man’s sword.
Just how great was the difference in their strength?
“Old Black, get out of the way!”
One of the special-admission students shouted loudly.
At that moment, a spike of rock abruptly rose from the ground and shot toward Yan Kui’s face.
Cold sweat sprang onto Yan Kui’s forehead. He immediately threw away his heavy hammer and hurriedly dodged, narrowly avoiding the attack.
“Spread out!”
Supporting himself with his sword, Zhang Qi rose to his feet with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and shouted.
The other three special-admission students quickly scattered.
The five of them took up positions in five different directions, surrounding the Gold Armored Soldier.
Two were at the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, while the other three were at the early stage.
None of them could withstand an attack from a mid-stage Heavenly Dipper expert alone, but together, they could at least hold him back.
Zhang Qi put a whistle to his lips and blew.
A sharp birdcall rang through the night.
It was a birdcall unique to the Dongling Kingdom. The bird did call at night, but not during this season.
It was the special-admission class’s exclusive signal for summoning reinforcements.
The Gold Armored Soldier gripped his broad sword and swept his gaze over the five students. The disdain on his face grew even stronger.
“Die.”
He drove the broad sword into the ground.
In an instant, the sand beneath their feet began to churn.
Yan Kui looked down at his ankles, which had sunk into the earth. His expression filled with terror. “Careful! Something’s wrong!”
“Too late!”
The Gold Armored Soldier raised a crooked hand.
Suddenly, a massive hand formed from sand and soil emerged from the shifting ground and seized Yan Kui.
“Run…”
Yan Kui felt as though the giant hand of sand were about to crush his internal organs. With great difficulty, he forced out a warning.
But by then, Zhang Qi and the other three had also fallen victim to the attack. They struggled desperately, but were powerless to break free.
“It’s over!”
A bleak despair filled Yan Kui’s heart. He still did not know where Qiansui was, yet he had never expected to die so abruptly.
The Gold Armored Soldier looked at the five enormous hands rising from the ground. A hideous smile appeared on his ugly face as he prepared to clench his fists and crush all five trespassers who had dared to enter the City Lord’s residence.
Then a sixth hand formed from sand and soil appeared, seizing the Gold Armored Soldier’s body.
Shock filled the Gold Armored Soldier’s eyes.
What was happening? He had clearly not yet mastered the ability to create a sixth hand…
“Ah!”
The Gold Armored Soldier let out a terrified scream.
The massive hand of sand tightened around his body and squeezed viciously. Under the attack, the earth spiritual energy surrounding him scattered and dispersed.
At the same time, the giant hands binding Zhang Qi and the others collapsed back into sand. The five students’ bodies dropped to the ground.
“Who… who are you?”
The Gold Armored Soldier stared wide-eyed at the man before him, who wore an evil-ghost mask.
An unprecedented terror spread from the depths of his heart.
The man standing before him was powerful—extremely powerful!
“An Yi!”
Through the eyeholes of the mask, An Yi coldly stared at him. The hand he had raised suddenly clenched tight.

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.
