"Why can't you people allow me to have an easy life?"Xu Shan asked the group before him. "Absurd!" The old man roared, unable to even react to Xu Shan's audacity. He came to their city and killed their people, including the City Lord, and now he was asking them why they didn't leave him alone? Either the man before them was crazy, or he was taunting them. Everyone present here was important! They were either heads of the Major Clans in the city, or they were wealthy businessmen. None of them were…

The number of guards in the surroundings kept going down. The guards were killed before they could even realize what was going on. It was especially worse for the guards who were alone. A trail of blood was left in Xu Shan's wake. Fortunately, before anyone could notice that something was wrong, he reached the mansion. Instead of going through the main door, he used his dagger to cut the window and create an opening. The glass fell inside the mansion, shattering into hundreds of pieces. In…

The Old Man looked at Xu Shan strangely. He wanted to scream, 'Only a fool would believe you!' Fortunately, he controlled his urges. It was clear that Xu Shan killed them. Either that, or he was associated with the killer. In any case, he felt scared. If anyone found out about the items on the table at the moment, it was disastrous for him and his clan! He nervously looked around, making sure that there were no gaps in the wall from where someone could be spying. He also cast a barrier in the…

Unlike her, the maid couldn't control herself, as she subconsciously looked toward the balcony above, where a young man was standing, sipping tea casually. Xu Shan was casually watching the scene as if it had nothing to do with him. The young man's gaze met the maid. Xu Shan revealed a smile, as if he knew the question in her eyes. "I understand. It's important to find people who committed such a horrible crime. However, searching here would only be a waste of time. No one here would ever do…

The City Lord was killed and most of the Royal Army staying in the city was wiped, which sent tremors through the entire city. Most of the citizens were in fear, refusing to leave home. The streets that were crowded previously were now mostly empty. Almost half the shops weren't even opened since people lived in a lot of uncertainty. On the other hand, the person who did all this was completely carefree as he stepped out of the shower. His hair was still somewhat wet. As soon as he stepped…

Yunxi sat under the moonlight, gazing at the stars. The maid told her that Xu Shan ran away after finding out how dangerous it was going to be. Even now, the maid didn't tell Yunxi anything about the plan of his Elder Sister. She didn't want Yunxi to take stress and risk her life to stop her sister. Even with Xu Shan's help, it was unlikely that they were ever going to succeed. If anything, she was happy with the outcome since she subconsciously wanted this to happen. Deep down, the reason…

"What is happening?" Xu Shan asked, seemingly confused. It had been such a long time. He had stolen the strength and Celestial Spirit of so many people. In fact, he even reached the peak of Heavenly Celestial Realm in a short time. But after that, something appeared wrong. It was as if there was a thin layer of barrier preventing him. He wasn't able to cross the threshold of the Heavenly Celestial into the next Realm Every time he stole the strength of someone, it was like placing one drop of…

"What are your thoughts on this?" Xu Shan walked through the crowded streets, talking to Xinren. His voice was so low that other than Xinren, no one could hear him. "Any thoughts on the so-called Book? That didn't match the descriptions of the Books you gave me. Is that maid bluffing about the book? Or there's something you're hiding from me?" At the moment, he also remembered the time when he had received the Book of Truth. It showed that he collected one of the Nine Pieces. If that one piece…

"How does the Celestial Lotus fit into all this?" "She had been looking for the Celestial Lotus for as long as I can recall," the maid replied. "And finally, she has it now. This isn't good for anyone." The maid who was usually very calm revealed a few traces of fear as she thought about what the future could entail for them. "You came here for the Celestial Lotus. Please take it! If you can't take it, destroy it! But don't let her have it! If she does..." "What will happen if she does?" Xu Shan…

With time, the people started getting swayed by her talent, wondering if the prophecy could be wrong. However, as the outsiders' opinion changed, the Eldest Daughter and the Queen also changed. Each time she was defeated, she hated Yunxi even more. The seed of hatred had been planted in her heart by her mother, and it was constantly watered by the fact that Yunxi was so good at everything, always receiving all the attention of their father. The Eldest Daughter felt left behind... She felt…
