The Golden Armored Soldier stared at An Yi in terror.
This was his Sand Binding—the signature spirit art of the Sand Clan. How could this young man know how to use it?!
Powerful pressure crushed his internal organs.
An indescribable fear invaded his mind. It was as if he could already see the miserable forms of all those whose bodies he had squeezed to pieces with this very technique.
Zhang Qi and Yan Kui exchanged a glance.
Although he was wearing a mask, they recognized him at once. The man standing before them was none other than their Instructor An Yi.
The spirit art was not complicated. An Yi had learned it after seeing it only once.
On top of that, he possessed a top-grade Earth Spirit Vein—the Profound Earth Spirit Vein—so copying spirit arts was hardly difficult for him.
“Where are Qianqian and Qiansui?”
An Yi’s voice was low, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
If Old Tao’s information was correct, this ugly bastard was the one who had nearly killed Gu Changfeng and Ning Er.
“T-They’re in…”
Feeling his body grow tighter and tighter, the Golden Armored Soldier forced the words out under the desperate urge to survive.
Aah!
A shrill scream rang out.
The armor on the Golden Armored Soldier shattered. Under the terrifying pressure of the giant hand formed from sand, his body was crushed to pieces in an instant.
Gurgling blood soaked into the sand.
“Sorry. I already know where they are.”
An Yi spoke coldly and relaxed his clenched hand.
The giant sand hand scattered, leaving behind a corpse so mangled that it was no longer recognizable as human.
Looking at the dead Golden Armored Soldier, Zhang Qi and the others did not dare say a word.
They could all feel how furious An Yi was.
An Yi looked at the ground and raised his hand.
Earth spirit power surged forth.
A vortex formed in the ground. As the quicksand churned, two cocoons made of sand slowly emerged from beneath the surface.
“What… what is this?”
Zhang Qi’s face filled with astonishment.
No wonder he had been unable to find them. They had been hidden here all along!
An Yi snapped his fingers. The sand cocoons shattered, revealing the two unconscious figures inside.
It was Qiansui and Xu Qianqian.
“Qiansui!”
Upon seeing her, Yan Kui hurried over and helped her sit up.
“Instructor An Yi, she… what happened to her?”
Panic flickered in Yan Kui’s eyes.
An Yi replied indifferently, “She’s fine. She’ll recover after resting for a while.”
As if remembering something, Zhang Qi hurriedly said, “Instructor An Yi, the others are in danger too.”
Those cavalrymen would not be easy to deal with.
“They’ve already been dealt with.”
From a distance, Liu Yu approached with the students from the Special Recruitment Class. His face was bruised and swollen.
The cavalrymen they had faced were merely ordinary Divine Church riders, with strength at the Spirit Gathering Realm. But even the strongest fists could not overcome sheer numbers, and the riders had been overwhelmed in an instant.
Only Liu Yu had suffered badly. He had happened to pick a commander as his opponent and had been beaten senseless. Fortunately, An Yi had arrived in time, allowing him to escape with his life.
“What about that kid, Ye Tian?”
A curious voice came from the crowd.
“Don’t tell me he really went to challenge the Purple-robed Archbishop alone.”
“Damn, is he insane? That guy is at the Half-Step Nirvana Realm!”
An Yi looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and said in a deep voice, “You all withdraw first. I’ll go take a look.”
With that, black wings unfolded behind An Yi. He leaped into the air and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Watching An Yi disappear, Yan Kui asked, “Should we go over and take a look?”
“Don’t go getting in the way!” Zhang Qi said sternly. “This is the City Lord’s residence. Check for anyone who’s injured, then get Qianqian and Qiansui out of here.”
After this battle, he understood clearly.
Compared with a Celestial Dipper Realm spirit cultivator, they were far too weak—let alone against someone at the Half-Step Nirvana Realm.
They would only become dead weight if they went. Worse, they might distract An Yi and force him to protect them.
Liu Yu sighed. The joy on his face faded when he heard that they could not follow.
Only after all the students had withdrawn did Mayor Qi Hong cautiously poke his head out with the city guards.
“Have they left?” Qi Hong asked one of the scouts.
The soldier whispered, “I-I think so.”
“Whew, thank goodness. They’re all ancestors who bring nothing but trouble.”
Qi Hong let out a long breath, his entire body relaxing.
He had truly been left with no choice. He could not afford to offend either side.
There was no need to mention the Divine Church.
As for the other side, there was the Great Demon King An Yi, accompanied by a group of young masters and young ladies.
He recognized many of them.
The big, dark-skinned fellow was the grandson of General Yan.
The long-haired youth was the son of a prince of a different surname—the Young Prince.
The one carrying a short saber was the Young Lord of Ghostblade Manor, the foremost power in Dongling.
The Hou family, the Zhou family…
He could name at least ten of them. The rest likely had equally impressive backgrounds.
“City Lord, the Purple-robed Archbishop’s palace has been attacked,” a soldier said in terror.
Qi Hong shook his head, his face filled with worry. “Pretend you know nothing. Withdraw everyone. No one is staying in the City Lord’s residence tonight.”
Boom!
A huge hole was blasted through the roof of the magnificent palace.
A graceful red figure flew out.
A moment later, Wu Huan, dressed in purple, walked through the air and hovered above the ground as he looked at Hong Lian.
“Celestial Dipper Peak? That level of strength seems a little lacking.”
Hong Lian gripped the long axe in her hand and replied coldly, “We’ll see what you’re made of!”
As she spoke, she rose into the air.
Flames blossomed like blooming lotuses, dotting the sky.
Fire surged in every direction.
A smile curled at the corner of Wu Huan’s lips. “Quite the fiery personality. But I like it!”
“Trash!”
Hong Lian shot him a cold look and swung her axe down with tremendous force.
Boom!
A barrier of purple lightning surged and firmly blocked the attack of Hong Lian’s great axe.
Hong Lian’s gaze darkened.
The Celestial Dipper Peak and Half-Step Nirvana realms were separated by only a thin line.
Yet the difference in strength they displayed was enormous!
Hong Lian glanced at the great axe in her hands, her eyes dimming.
What a pity that this weapon did not suit her. If she had been wielding the Coiling Dragon Halberd, she might have been able to fight Wu Huan to a draw.
“Behave yourself!”
Looking at the beautiful Hong Lian, Wu Huan’s eyes grew increasingly sinister.
He raised his hand, and a ball of lightning shimmering with purple light shot toward Hong Lian.
Caught off guard, Hong Lian had no time to dodge. The lightning struck her, sending her delicate body flying backward like a kite with its strings cut.
Boom!
Hong Lian crashed to the ground. Covering her chest with one hand, she glared at Wu Huan, fury in her eyes.
She had been careless just now.
But Wu Huan had no intention of giving her another chance. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing before her.
Lightning enveloped Wu Huan’s body. A bolt suddenly descended, shooting straight toward Hong Lian!
Clang!
The lightning struck the Coiling Dragon Halberd.
Ye Tian’s figure appeared without a sound, firmly blocking Wu Huan’s attack.
“It was blocked?”
Wu Huan looked surprised. Only then did he realize that there was something strange about the long halberd.
“Sister Hong Lian, are you all right?”
Ye Tian’s arm trembled as he resisted the pressure of the lightning. He asked in a deep voice, “Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine!”
Hong Lian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, terror appeared in her eyes.
“Look out!”
Another bolt of lightning struck.
Ye Tian had already been prepared. Blue flames solidified into three layers of blue shields.
Boom!
Even so, Ye Tian was still blasted away. His body skidded across the ground for more than a hundred meters.
A horrifying trench was carved into the earth.
“To think you can condense three layers of flame shields in an instant. Interesting.”
Wu Huan gazed at Ye Tian, who had been sent flying, and spoke slowly.
But this boy’s strength was only at the Spirit Gathering Realm. Trying to withstand his attacks was nothing short of wishful thinking.
Just then, wisps of blue and crimson flame began to drift slowly through the air, like a riot of colorful petals carried on the breeze.

Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one."

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.
