The old man's face turned grim. "It seems like you've made up your mind then. I'll have to get my hands dirty then..." As he spoke, he drew his own sword and took up a battle stance. The clash of two powerful auras filled the air, signaling the beginning of a battle that was to decide the future of the Celestial Palace. Even though the Great Elder of the Celestial Palace was much older than Ye Han, as he held the Sword, his eyes looked like they were craving a battle. He had spent most of his life in…

"If you hurt my son, do you think you'll be able to leave this place? Even your father won't be able to save you in that case." The Celestial Palace Master had a dark expression on his face. First his daughter went missing, and now his son's life was in danger as well. He wanted to save his son at any cost. Xu Shan didn't respond to the question of the Celestial Palace Master. Instead, he simply glanced at Ye Han in the back. "Leave and inform my father about what happened here!" He told Ye Han. "If…

"Shall we start then?" he asked, revealing a calm smile. Three talisman papers burned in his left hand, slowly turning to dust. Initially, everyone was stunned by Xu Shan's sudden counter. However, it didn't take long for them to notice three Talismans in his left hand. The talismans were made in high quality talisman paper. However, the patterns that were carved on the talisman were nothing that they had ever seen before. It was like a completely unknown talisman. However, since it belonged to a…

"Your Sister?" Xu Shan frowned, slightly taken aback. Why was this guy looking for his sister here? They hadn't even started executing their plan after all. "Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" he continued. "Why would we have your sister? We haven't even seen her ever since we came here. Please leave. We don't have time for your nonsense." It would've at least made sense if they were here for the guy they kidnapped. However, they were looking for someone that wasn't here in the first…

**** The young man called for help, but his calls went unanswered. Xu Shan was quite frustrated by his constant screams. He raised his right foot, stomping on the knees of the man, almost crushing it. Fortunately, he controlled his strength. However, the pain was still too much for the young man, making him scream even louder. "If you don't want both your legs to be broken, close your mouth." Xu Shan's voice fell in the ears of the man as he once again raised his foot. Seeing his gesture, the man…

Xu Shan slowed down, glancing back at the young man who had been trying to provoke him. It was clear to him what the guy was trying. However, instead of being angry, he looked quite calm. "I only join fights where I'm allowed to kill," he stated. Even though his tone was calm, the youngsters couldn't help but feel a bit taken aback, as Xu Shan glanced at them. It was as if a predator was looking at them. It was a strange feeling that even they couldn't understand. "If you're interested, you're always…

The Meeting that lasted for close to three hours was finally over. Unfortunately, no agreement could be reached in the meeting since Xu Shan had no intention to actually work with the Celestial Palace. He intentionally put forth conditions that were impossible for the Palace Master to agree with. At the same time, he left some room for negotiations. After three long hours of discussions, even the Celestial Palace Master felt a headache coming. In the end, the first meeting ended. The second meeting…

**** Xu Shan lied on the bed. His eyes were closed but he was still awake. He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling. It was as if he was missing something... Something that he hadn't taken into consideration. He wasn't entirely sure if the second fragment was also a book or not. And if it was another Heavenly Book, then what was its specialty? He felt as if he was playing a game of chess while being blindfolded. "Xinren... Come on. Where exactly did you go?" He muttered to himself. Xinren was…

"It looks like we won't be meeting the Palace Master anytime soon." Ye Han checked the guest house where the two of them were supposed to stay in the Celestial Palace. Fortunately, in his checking, he didn't find any traps. Even though the house wasn't luxurious like the one where Xu Shan used to stay, it was not bad either. It had enough room and space for the two of them to stay here comfortably. "Of course we won't. It would've been off if the Palace Master would've decided to meet us as soon as we…

'Negative Karma?' Xu Shan's eyes were fixated on the screen before him, a look of intense interest apparent on his face. Though to others, it may have seemed like he was staring blankly at the lifeless body of the woman on the screen. 'What is negative karma?' He asked in his mind. The previous text vanished from the screen in front of him, and in its place, the screen displayed the response to his inquiry. 'So I'm supposed to stay still and watch these people kill me instead?' Xu Shan rolled…
