Wang Jian, 25, Beijing, China. He was the core member of Assembly of the Phantom.

His life was going well as he had developed connections with the government in China. However, it was a pity that a pandemic broke out in the world and even Wang Jian caught that deadly virus. He remained in the emergency ward for a month before losing his life.

Death…It is a phenomenon that all creatures instinctively fear. It is due to their fear of death that they sharpen their survival instincts.

The reason to fear death is simple. It is because nobody knows what occurs after death.

Is their soul destroyed? Are they assimilated into the universe? Or do they experience rebirth? Do they enter heaven or hell based on their karma as a living being?

Everything is unknown. It is the fear of unknown that makes all creatures fear death.

Wang Jian was also one such person who feared death. He tried all sorts of methods to survive. He used a majority of his money on his treatment, but unfortunately, it only delayed his inevitable ending.

However, Wang Jian experienced a sense of discomfort even after dying.

He groggily opened his eyes and felt blinded by the bright light. Wang Jian instinctively closed his eyes.

He tried again after a few seconds. However, Wang Jian opened his eyes very slowly.

Very soon, his vision quickly adjusted to the bright light, and he could see clearly.

Wang Jian looked around and noticed he was in a large room made of grey stones and planks. The room felt rather cool even with no air-conditioner.

On the ceiling was a small window that let light enter the room.

"What is this place?" Wang Jian wondered.

Around this moment, he experienced a sharp pain in his head. This sharp pain was accompanied with lots of foreign memories.

Wang Jian was shocked as he was forced to see those memories. No…Not just see but experience those memories.

In 20 seconds, Wang Jian experienced twenty years' worth of memories.

'I have transmigrated into another world! B-But what the heck is this?!' Wang Jian couldn't help but curse in his mind.

It was only natural for him to be agitated.

The body he possessed belonged to the seventh prince of the Everlasting Mystical Empire. His name was also Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was a handsome young man with striking features. His silver hair was a unique and captivating aspect that caught the attention of many. His blue eyes sparkled like the ocean and reflected his sharp mind. His well-defined jawline and straight nose added to his striking appearance, making him stand out from the crowd. He had a charismatic aura around him, and his confident demeanor was evidence of his inner strength and determination.

However, this Wang Jian held little to no talent and frequently stirred up trouble in the capital. There were times when Wang Jian even offended the grand elders of two reputed sects.

Thus, the Emperor banished Wang Jian to the outskirts of the Everlasting Mystical Empire.

However, Wang Jian used his status to become the local overlord of this region. He committed all sorts of atrocities like killing anyone who offended him, coercing beauties to sleep with him, accepting bribes, and even seizing properties of his citizens.

The local army and bandits supported Wang Jian as they earned an immense fortune by following him. They prevented anyone from leaving the region and complaining to the Emperor.

Well, one or two would still escape their scrutiny, but Wang Jian's mother would deal with those individuals in the capital.

They had all grown accustomed to Wang Jian's dictatorship as no assistance from the capital arrived.

Just a month ago, Wang Jian came across a beauty while roaming in the town. He immediately ordered his men to capture her.

At that moment, a young man of around sixteen years old stepped forward and fought his men. He didn't possess any cultivation, but his movements seemed rather refined.

Still, it was impossible for this youth to fight three cultivators with no cultivation. His movements became sluggish due to exhaustion and was struck repeatedly.

At that moment, the beauty next to that youth immediately approached Wang Jian and pleaded to not kill her friend. She promised to do anything in return.

A wretched smile appeared on Wang Jian's face as he heard that promise. He gently held that beauty's chin and spoke, "Very well. If you become my maid, I will let him live. You must break all connection with him."

"…Yes," The beauty responded weakly.

Wang Jian soon left with that beauty. He naturally didn't forget to send some assassins to kill that youth secretly.

However, it was rather strange that his assassins didn't return.

Wang Jian tried to investigate the matter and soon discovered that even the youth's body went missing.

After searching for some period, he gave up on that youth. He was more interested in that young beauty.

Her name is Su Xian.

Just before Wang Jian could force himself upon her, one of his advisors spoke out, "Sir. This woman possesses the Innate Energy Vessel! It means whoever takes her body can absorb all her cultivation and talent. It would be a waste if you take her body now."

Wang Jian stopped upon hearing this explanation and asked, "…What do you mean?"

His advisors spoke, "Milord, it would be best if we make her reach the Spirit Realm before you take her body and absorb all her cultivation and talent. Through this method, you can instantly reach the peak of the Spirit Realm or even break through to the Origin Realm."

Wang Jian was rather impressed by this idea. His cultivation talent was average, so he required tremendous resources and exceptional cultivation technique to reach the Origin Realm.

Even after cultivating for more than ten years, Wang Jian's cultivation barely broke through the Spirit Realm.

Meanwhile, his siblings had already reached the Origin Realm while using less resources compared to him. Even his younger siblings far surpassed his cultivation.

Thus, Wang Jian was considered trash in the Royal Family of the Everlasting Mystical Empire. And it was one of the reasons the Emperor didn't favor him.

It was a good thing that his mother was one of the Emperor's beloved concubines or else Wang Jian's condition would be even worse.

In any case, Wang Jian decided to wait before forcing himself upon Su Xian.

Meanwhile, Su Xian was forced to cultivate under heavy scrutiny. Three Origin Realm warriors kept a close watch over her.

Just a week ago, news of Su Xian's childhood friend arrived. His name is Lin Feng, and he was last seen making contacts with the tribal people in Wang Jian's region.

These tribes resided in the forests and used guerilla warfare to slaughter Wang Jian's underlings. They were the only ones who dared to resist Wang Jian's rule in this region.

Lin Feng's cultivation had already reached the Spirit Realm, while his combat prowess could even contend an Origin Realm Cultivator.

His rapid cultivation astonished Wang Jian and his underlings, and they made up their mind to kill Lin Feng at all costs.

Unfortunately, their attempts to kill Lin Feng failed, and they even suffered tremendous losses.

And today, while Wang Jian was sleeping, another soul entered his body. The original soul of Wang Jian's body contended, but for some reason, it was quickly swallowed.

Wang Jian was utterly speechless as he realized his current predicament.

"The heck is this situation? If this goes on, I will be fighting a protagonist."

Wang Jian knew what this meant. He would become the protagonist's stepping stone and help him act cool. He naturally didn't want such a thing to happen.

Just as he was thinking about ways to deal with this situation, he heard a mechanical voice in his head.

[The fusion of souls is complete.]

"Who was that?" Wang Jian asked aloud.

[Greetings, Master. I am a part of your soul.]

"Interesting," Wang Jian muttered.

"What can you do for me?"

[Master, I can help you cultivate and learn more skills by using destiny points.]

Wang Jian raised his brow as he heard this description. It felt awfully similar to a system.

'Let's try this.'

"Display my status."

[Yes, Master.]

[

Name: Wang Jian.

Age: 20 years old.

Destiny Points: 100.

Cultivation: First Stage of Spirit Realm.

Skills: Origin Fist, Beam of Destruction, and Mystic Force.

Bloodline: Devil Blood (Dormant).

Physique: Chaotic Yang Body (Dormant).

Spirit: Dark Spirit Viper (Three Star Spirit).

]

Wang Jian let out a sigh as he saw his status screen.

In this world, there were nine ranks of cultivation.

True Realm.

Spirit Realm.

Origin Realm.

Lord Realm.

King Realm.

Emperor Realm.

Saint Realm.

Immortal Realm.

Transcendent Realm.

There are only a couple of Emperor Realm cultivators in the Everlasting Mystical Empire and all of them worked for the Royal Family. Wang Jian's father, the Emperor is also an Emperor Realm expert.

In this world, all cultivators start cultivating from the True Realm. They develop their True Qi and slowly strengthen it in this realm.

After reaching the Spirit Realm, they awaken their Spirit. The Spirit they awaken is the shape of their soul. It could be a spirit in the form of a beast or a tool spirit.

Thus, after reaching the Spirit Realm, a cultivator changes his cultivation technique to suit his Spirit.

Unfortunately for Wang Jian, he reached the Spirit Realm after he was banished from the Royal Palace.

He could no longer look for the spectacular cultivation techniques in the Royal Palace suited for his Spirit.

Actually, Wang Jian could have requested his mother to send him a cultivation technique. It would be very challenging for his mother to send a cultivation technique while concealing it from the Emperor, but she could do it.

However, Wang Jian chose not to take this risk. He knew that his Spirit wasn't anything impressive. It was merely a 3-Star Spirit and didn't hold much potential. He didn't want his mother to risk herself for such a minor task.

"System, what are destiny points? How do I earn them?" Wang Jian asked as he noticed this category in his status screen.

[Master, each individual in this world is born with a part of World Essence. This world essence defines their destiny. However, there are certain individuals that are born with a special part of World Essence. They can be protagonists, heroines, underlings, and villains.]

[To earn destiny points, the Master must significantly affect the emotional state of these individuals possessing great providence. Through this method, you can shave off their luck. Once their luck has exhausted, they will no longer receive the protection of the world.]

Wang Jian's brows twitched upon hearing this description.

'Is this system suggesting me to go pick up a fight against a protagonist?!'

"What do you mean by affecting the emotional state? Must it be negative?" Wang Jian asked.

[The type of emotion doesn't matter. The only requirement is that it must be intense enough.]

Wang Jian was satisfied upon hearing this description. It would be a pity if he was forced to kill all heroines.

Wang Jian suddenly raised his brows in surprise as this thought entered his mind.

'Interesting. I didn't think I would be so reluctant to act against a woman. Is this the effect of my soul fusing with this brat? Well, it should be fine as long as it doesn't hinder me greatly.'

"What exactly can you do with destiny points?" Wang Jian asked. If he was to fight against a protagonist, he had to know precisely what he was capable of.

[Using Destiny Points, the system can assist the Master in learning and mastering skills. Activating or Transforming Master's physique and bloodline. Increase Master's Cultivation. Fuse Spirits. Blend herbs. Concoct Poison. Analyze opponents.]

"What is in the system shop? Also, open the beginner's package. Let me check it out," Wang Jian spoke.

As an avid novel reader, Wang Jian was familiar with the basic properties of a system. He knew that each system possessed a system mall or a shop. They would even provide a beginner's package.

[Master, there is no system shop or a beginner's package.]

Wang Jian's complexion turned pale as he heard this statement. He felt as if this was a scam.

[Master, the system is a part of your soul. My abilities can only help you realize your potential. I can't do something that is even beyond your potential.]

Wang Jian's eyes widened, "My potential?"

He didn't expect that the system's abilities would be related to his potential.

Wang Jian fell into deep thought as he brainstormed about how he should utilize this system.

Very soon, a clever scheme appeared in his head. If his rivals from the previous world saw Wang Jian's expression, their complexion would turn pale immediately. They knew that this expression implied he was about to deceive someone badly.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian decided to meet Su Xian.

As of this moment, she was cultivating in a large hall within Wang Jian's mansion. Even though she had begun cultivating a month ago, she had already reached the ninth stage of True Realm.

Naturally, this was all because Wang Jian provided her with many resources to increase her cultivation speed so that he could quickly spend the night with her and acquire her cultivation and talent.

Su Xian felt intense hatred for Wang Jian. She wished to kill him.

However, she held that desire deep within her heart. She had heard Wang Jian's advisor's words and developed a scheme in her mind.

She would pretend to be subservient to Wang Jian and attack him when he comes to spend the night with her. She would castrate him and prevent him from destroying a young woman's life again.

After killing Wang Jian, Su Xian planned to flee for her life. And if she couldn't flee, she would choose to commit suicide.

Her plan was rather good. Unfortunately, Wang Jian's body had changed owners.

When Wang Jian glanced at Su Xian, he saw a strikingly beautiful seventeen-year-old woman with long, jet-black hair that cascaded down her back in loose waves. Her alluring chocolate-brown eyes were deep and enchanting, radiating an air of mystery and intrigue. But it was her impressive bust that often left many speechless, a captivating sight that was hard to miss. Her skin was fair, and her figure was slim and toned, with curves in all the right places, giving her an alluring and sensual aura.

Moving his eyes down, he noticed her chest heaving up and down as she respired. Her bulging bust seemed to tempt Wang Jian into committing a crime.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Jian calmed down. As a reincarnated individual, he thought, 'On Earth, she would have become an influencer with a massive fan following. Unfortunately for her, she is in this world where beauty is secondary while strength and status are more important.'

"Open your eyes, Su Xian!" Wang Jian ordered with a commanding tone.

Su Xian was startled to hear this voice. She hadn't even sensed Wang Jian until he spoke. Her eyes snapped open, and she saw Wang Jian standing before her.

"W-What are you doing here?" She was naturally startled. During the past month, Wang Jian made sure not to disturb Su Xian's cultivation.

Su Xian guessed that this was because Wang Jian wanted to sleep with her and steal her cultivation as quickly as possible.

"This is my mansion. I can naturally come here whenever I want," Wang Jian spoke nonchalantly as he approached Su Xian.

Su Xian instinctively receded and spoke while her voice trembled with fear and anger, "Y-You are disturbing my cultivation. Don't you want me to reach the Spirit Realm as quickly as possible?"

Wang Jian smiled as he gently placed his palm over Su Xian's cheek and caressed it. He spoke, "I didn't realize that you were in such a rush to sleep with me. If so, we can do it now. Although it would be a huge loss, I can bear it."

"W-What?! That's ridiculous!"

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully frightened the Heroine Su Xian. You obtain 10 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian internally smiled as he heard this voice. His strategy could work.

The look in Su Xian's eyes stated that she would do anything to kill Wang Jian.

Wang Jian spoke while gazing at her, "From now onwards, you must halt your cultivation and serve me. I recruited you as a maid, but you haven't even served me a cup of tea. Isn't that a waste?"

His tone was forceful, as he didn't seem to be in the mood to hear a complaint.

He had very little time, so he had to make the most of it.

Meanwhile, Su Xian was shaken by this order. Her plan to make Wang Jian pay was ruined.

Wang Jian turned his head and left the hall. A maid soon appeared in the hall and began to guide Su Xian in her duties as a maid.

Su Xian felt greatly humiliated as she was forced to learn those duties. The maid naturally wasn't gentle while teaching Su Xian. She even slapped Su Xian a couple of times.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian smiled happily as he received multiple notifications from the system about earning Destiny Points.

Within two hours, Wang Jian's destiny points reached 200.

"How many points do I require to boost my spirit?" Wang Jian asked aloud.

[1000 points are required to evolve your spirit to the Four-Star Spirit."

Wang Jian sucked a breath of cold air. He didn't think that evolving his spirit would be so expensive.

It's a good thing that Wang Jian had Su Xian as his captive. He could acquire more destiny points from her and also information regarding Lin Feng.

Wang Jian had already questioned the system regarding his interaction with these individuals possessing great providence.

The system gave a detailed response.

[It will be fine as long as Master does not exhibit murderous intent or go beyond their bottom line to the point where they are determined to kill you at the expense of their lives. That will become a trigger point and the World's Essence will instantly do something to protect them. You must greatly shave off their providence so that they lose the protection of the World's Essence.]

This detailed explanation was the primary reason Wang Jian dared to mess around with Su Xian earlier.

He knew that Su Xian would choose to endure as long as he doesn't actually force himself upon her or kill Lin Feng.

This greatly increased his possibilities.

Wang Jian had also instructed his subordinates to find detailed information regarding these tribes.

The leader of these tribes and their members.

His subordinates immediately began to organize information regarding these tribes.

There were three tribes in the Lush Stream Timberland.

The Night Dagger Clan.

The Crimson Mammoth Warriors.

The Miracle Angel Tribe.

Upon hearing the names of these tribes, Wang Jian could guess what had occurred.

However, Wang Jian felt it would be prudent to obtain detailed information.

Thus, he immediately gathered his subordinates.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"Sir, what is the reason behind this meeting?" One of Wang Jian's loyal advisors asked. His name is Jie Wan. He had already passed his fifties, but he still appeared just a bit older than a middle-aged man.

He holds a great influence in Wang Jian's court and the previous Wang Jian would usually act on Jie Wan's advice. The idea of having Su Xian cultivate was provided by Jie Wan.

"Capture the warriors of those rebellious tribes," Wang Jian ordered.

"…Sir, wouldn't it be bad if we capture members of these tribes? We have lost many personnel and the reinforcements haven't arrived yet," Jie Wan suggested.

Most of the people in Wang Jian's court agreed with Jie Wan's suggestion.

"That's right, Milord. Sir Jie is absolutely correct. It would be a blunder to rashly act against these tribes. Once the reinforcements arrive, we can state that these tribes are planning a rebellion and use those forces to instantly slaughter them all."

Wang Jian's expression turned grave upon hearing their words.

On surface, this appeared to be a marvelous plan. However, Wang Jian knew that Lin Feng would attack them soon. The reinforcements would probably be too late when they arrive.

Wang Jian has to create a meticulous strategy before that. And it was impossible to do so without acquiring detailed information about Lin Feng.

"…Use all your connections. By the end of the day, I want a member of each tribe in this mansion," Wang Jian ordered domineeringly.

He left the hall, leaving behind an overbearing aura. His advisors were shocked to witness such a great change.

They wore helpless countenances as they left the hall to carry out this order. Fortunately, the task wasn't that challenging.

Each of them held a number of contacts in Zhenguan Region. They captured nine warriors of the tribes. Three warriors belonging to each tribe.

Wang Jian ordered his subordinates to thoroughly interrogate these members and acquire information about the tribes.

By the end of the day, Wang Jian held three thick files in his hands that contained all the information he required.

Apparently, a couple of warriors from the Miracle Angel Tribe witnessed that sight of Wang Jian's warriors ruthlessly beating Lin Feng. Among the warriors of the Miracle Angel Tribe was a young woman who was the tribe leader's only daughter. She pitied Lin Feng greatly and expressed her desire to save him.

After Wang Jian was gone, taking Su Xian with him, these warriors immediately approached Lin Feng to take him to their hideout and heal him.

Wang Jian's men soon arrived to silently kill Lin Feng. These warriors instantly killed these assassins and fled. They were heading to their hideout.

In their hideout, the Miracle Angel Tribe used some special herbs to heal Lin Feng.

However, these herbs seemed to have done something miraculous as Lin Feng's body started glowing brightly. The glow receded soon, but the elders in the Miracle Angel Tribe sensed a very noble and majestic aura from Lin Feng.

They soon found out that Lin Feng actually possessed Holy Light Physique.

The Miracle Angel Tribe is a small community that regards the Light God as its deity. All the warriors who possess Light Element are considered blessed by the Light God.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng actually possessed Holy Light Physique. This meant he was a Holy Son!

The Miracle Angel Tribe's leader, Han Lei, immediately broadcasted this information to the entire clan.

Thus, Lin Feng's prestige quickly rose in the Miracle Angel Tribe.

Very soon, the entire resources of this tribe were accessible to Lin Feng. This allowed Lin Feng to grow quickly.

The leader even betrothed his daughter to Lin Feng. Her name is Han Xifeng. She possessed the purest Angel Bloodline within them. Her Light Element was the purest and most intense. So, she was a perfect match for Lin Feng.

Meanwhile, the other two tribes caught wind of news regarding this Holy Son. They joined forces and decided to secretly attack the Miracle Angel Tribe. They didn't want this tribe to grow in strength.

During this battle, Lin Feng earned a name for himself as he killed many enemies. However, the losses incurred by the Miracle Angel Tribe were too heavy. Thus, they were forced into hiding.

Lin Feng, Han Lei, Han Xifeng, and thirty more members of the Miracle Angel Tribe managed to flee. Unfortunately, these members were heavily injured and were in no condition to battle.

In the location they were hiding, Lin Feng encountered a fortuitous opportunity. He came across a mythical sword that was sealed inside the cave.

After passing a couple of trials, Lin Feng acquired that sword and his cultivation rose dramatically. He broke through to the Spirit Realm.

The name of this sword is Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword. Legends stated that this sword possessed nine colored lightning.

Right now, Lin Feng could only utilize the Golden Lightning. But even this lightning was exceptionally powerful. Even an Origin Realm cultivator would be slightly injured after getting hit by this Golden Lightning Strike.

Thus, Lin Feng utilized the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword to defeat members of the other two clans and gained their respect.

The mentality of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors was rather simple. As long as Lin Feng could defeat them in one-on-one battle, they would forever be loyal to him.

Meanwhile, the Night Dagger Clan gave up upon noticing that two of the three tribes have already submitted to Lin Feng.

Their skill rested in making surprise attacks. In frontal assault, they were the weakest among the three tribes.

The Crimson Mammoth Warriors and the Night Dagger Clan knew of Lin Feng's betrothal to Han Xifeng. They were worried that Lin Feng would be too biased towards the Miracle Angel Tribe, so they chose the most beautiful woman from their respective tribes and ordered them to seduce Lin Feng.

These beauties had been sheltered and trained by these tribes since their birth. Now that the tribe required their assistance, they naturally didn't back away.

Moreover, they were very satisfied with Lin Feng. He was somewhat handsome, held high status, and was very powerful.

Lin Feng wasn't very experienced in romantic matters and couldn't understand whom he loved truly.

He eventually discovered that it would be better to embrace everyone rather than choose a single lover.

As he finished perusing the catalogue, Wang Jian sighed. It was approximately what he had anticipated.

"Free our prisoners," Wang Jian sent this order to his subordinates.

By prisoners, he naturally meant the members belonging to these tribes that had been imprisoned.

Meanwhile, in the depths of Lush Stream Timberland, all three tribes had gathered for a summit.

The purpose of this meeting couldn't be clearer. It was to decide on an opportune moment to attack Wang Jian's regime.

Wang Jian had just crossed their bottom line by capturing their members in Zhenguan Region.

However, before the session could conclude, they learned that Wang Jian had released the imprisoned members.

This shocked the tribes as they failed to understand why Wang Jian would release them.

They weren't deluded into thinking that Wang Jian had a sudden epiphany, so he released them.

And sure enough, when these members returned to their respective tribes, they all understood Wang Jian's scheme.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The member of the Night Dagger Clan informed his clan that there is a good chance that the Miracle Angel Tribe member is colluding with Wang Jian.

The warrior of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors confidently stated that he saw the Night Dagger Clan member meeting Wang Jian. It was a good chance that they were planning something in secret.

Meanwhile, the woman from the Miracle Angel Tribe stated that she was vary of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors since she heard some guards talking to themselves. They mentioned that they could capture her through information provided by a Crimson Mammoth Warrior. This implied Wang Jian's forces had a spy in the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.

All three tribes were suddenly suspicious of each other. Each notified Lin Feng of this information and tried to convince Lin Feng to be suspicious of the other two tribes.

In turn, the situation utterly confused Lin Feng. He didn't know who he should trust. He was suspicious of all three tribes at this point.

This was exactly what Wang Jian intended.

He knew that if these factions were allowed to proceed normally, they would soon attack him.

Thus, Wang Jian employed this scheme to buy some time. Through this scheme, he gathered detailed information regarding Lin Feng and also managed to baffle him simultaneously.

Actually, Lin Feng understood that this was entirely Wang Jian's scheme. However, it mattered little even though he knew this fact. He still couldn't bring himself to trust these tribes unconditionally.

Every action of these tribes seemed suspicious to him. Not even his wives could convince him otherwise.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian received constant updates through the system.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully confused the protagonist Lin Feng and he cursed you for this strategy. You obtain 50 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian didn't expect that he would gain destiny points directly from Lin Feng.

"Now should be time to meet these tribe members," Wang Jian spoke, a clever smile on his face.

Naturally, Wang Jian scheme of releasing those warriors didn't stop at confusing these tribes. His secondary motive was to find the precise location of these tribes.

He was sure that the tribes had relocated after their members returned.

However, it was all for naught as these members had ingested a special blood while they were imprisoned.

This blood belonged to Wang Jian's subordinate who possessed a unique skill of tracking his blood.

Even though his blood had been long digested by the members of these tribes, this warrior could still faintly detect their location.

Wang Jian entered his Martial Arts Hall and picked up a tome. He opened the tome and the system's mechanical voice sounded in his head.

[Does Master agree to use 150 Destiny Points to learn the Shadow Movement Technique?]

Wang Jian answered, "Yes."

Instantly, the Shadow Movement Technique was imprinted on Wang Jian's soul. This allowed Wang Jian to understand the Shadow Movement Technique on an instinctive level.

This didn't imply that he had mastered this technique. It just indicated that Wang Jian could utilize the basic level of this technique instantly.

Wang Jian had to frequently utilize this technique to master it. Or he had to expend more points to master it.

However, Wang Jian was startled as he found the number of Destiny Points required to master the Shadow Movement Technique.

He would need 11000 Destiny Points.

As of now, Wang Jian's Destiny Points wasn't anywhere close to that number. He had barely gathered 250 Points and had already utilized 150 of these Destiny Points.

Thus, Wang Jian had only 100 Destiny Points left.

He didn't plan on utilizing these points and saved them for emergency.

After he was ready, Wang Jian picked up a dark cloak and wrapped it around his body. His comrade did the same and they left the mansion.

Their destination was the Night Dagger Clan.

After reaching the Night Dagger Clan's location, Wang Jian noticed it was filled with cultivators covering every area.

Wang Jian stared at his comrade and spoke, "Wait here."

Along with those words, Wang Jian handed two gold coins. He naturally had to provide proper compensation to this warrior for undertaking this risk.

"You will receive the rest when I return," Wang Jian whispered.

The warrior understood Wang Jian's intention and bowed. He quietly waited for Wang Jian in the bushes.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian activated the Shadow Movement Technique and quickly entered the Night Dagger Clan's territory.

He knocked out a few guards to clear his route and prevent them from yelling and exposing his presence.

Wang Jian was aware that he didn't have much time left before the other guards noticed something was off.

He quickly entered the clan head's house and found his room.

The clan head was sleeping peacefully with his wife. He had no idea that someone had sneaked in his room.

Moreover, this individual was the overlord of Zhenguan Region, Wang Jian.

Suddenly, the head of the Night Dagger Clan felt something sharp touching his skin. His eyes snapped open and glanced at the man holding the blade.

"W-What?!" The Clan Head naturally recognized Wang Jian.

He also spotted Wang Jian wielding another blade, which was hung just above his beloved wife's head.

"Why don't you follow me for a chat?" Wang Jian questioned. His tone made it seem as if he was giving the Clan Head a choice, but his actions spoke another story.

"Very well," agreed the Clan Head.

He was truly startled to see Wang Jian in his bedroom. Didn't this mean Wang Jian could have killed him and his wife easily?!

The Clan Head was utterly terrified as he thought of this possibility.

'Since he didn't kill me, he must have something to discuss with me,' The Clan Head thought.

Actually, this wasn't a bad situation.

Fan Gen, the Head of Night Dagger Clan, followed Wang Jian for a chat.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian naturally brought Fan Gen's wife along. She had been fed with a unique pellet that would prevent her from awakening any time soon.

The motive for bringing Fan Gen's wife was simple. It was done to keep Fan Gen from developing deadly ideas.

Fan Gen hissed belligerently, "Let's talk. What do you want from me? Also, if you hurt my wife in any way, I assure you that you won't leave this camp alive."

Wang Jian showed a detached and impassive reaction. He didn't appear to be threatened by Fan Gen's words.

"I am confused by people like you. You are definitely bright enough to comprehend your predicament, yet you will take the dumbest decision. Do you consider other people stupid?" Wang Jian inquired. He suddenly raised his sword and brought it down quickly at Fan Gen's wife's chest.

Fan Gen shrieked worriedly, "Stop. I-I…admit I was wrong. P-Please don't hurt her."

Wang Jian did stop and glared at Fan Gen, "Hmph. Don't mistake my compassion for weakness."

"I have a proposal for you, Fan Gen," Wang Jian declared with a condescending look.

Fan Gen didn't dare to interrupt Wang Jian. His eyes though remained focused on Wang Jian's blade and was in relief that it hadn't struck his wife's chest.

"I heard that you betrothed your daughter to Lin Feng. That was an excellent decision on your part to develop a strong connection to Lin Feng. Unfortunately, your daughter seems to have three competitors. One is a maid in my mansion while the other two belong to tribes that are just as powerful as yours," Wang Jian bloviated.

"What do you mean, Wang Jian?" With a disgruntled tone, Fan Gen inquired.

"Please don't pretend to be puzzled. You know exactly what I am talking about," Wang Jian replied callously.

Without waiting for Fan Gen to speak, Wang Jian added, "Even though you betrothed your daughter to Lin Feng, you have to admit that your relationship with him is not that good. It's because your clan was the last one to submit to him. You have already witnessed his talent so it's impossible for you not to have ideas of monopolizing him for yourself."

Fan Gen was startled upon hearing Wang Jian's words. He failed to understand how Wang Jian had this information.

Was there a spy in the Night Dagger Clan?

He decided to deal with this issue later and focused more on the situation occurring now.

Since there was no point in acting innocent, Fan Gen decided to reveal the truth.

"That's correct. I indeed have such thoughts that you stated. However, Lin Feng's talent is far above my understanding. It's hard for me to exploit him without antagonizing him," Fan Gen spoke bitterly.

Wang Jian expressed, "Why don't you join hands with me, Fan Gen? You help me do some tasks and I will help you manipulate Lin Feng."

"…How will you accomplish that? I don't think Lin Feng will ever listen to a word from you. He feels genuine hatred towards you," Fan Gen sneered.

"It's easy to manipulate individuals who lose themselves to hate," Wang Jian commented.

To give an example, Wang Jian asked, "What do you think will happen if news of my collaboration with the Miracle Angel Tribe and Crimson Mammoth Warriors is released? Do you think Lin Feng will trust them? Who will gain the most from this news? And you should realize my ability now. I could sneak into your house even though your subordinates are keeping watch over every direction. They possess sensing skill, but it doesn't work on me."

"So, just make a guess how much effort do I need to make to plant some evidence that suggests that the Miracle Angel Tribe and the Crimson Mammoth Warriors are colluding with me," Wang Jian finished speaking with a confident look.

These words truly left Fan Gen in deep thought. After a few moments, he spoke, "…I doubt Lin Feng will be fooled by such a tactic. He might realize the truth."

"Isn't that why I need your assistance? It is to turn this illusion into a realistic illusion," Wang Jian responded with a smile.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully planted a seed of ambition in the Protagonist Lin Feng's underling. You obtain 50 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian didn't think he would receive Destiny Points for this matter as well. It was an unexpected but welcoming gain.

Fan Gen was utterly confused at this moment. Initially, he had no plans of make a deal with Wang Jian.

But now, he could feel his heart fluctuate.

"How can I help you?" Fan Gen decided to gather the details of Wang Jian's plan. If the plan is feasible and helpful, he would apply it. And if its not, he would disclose this plan to Lin Feng.

Wang Jian noticed Fan Gen's clever look and spoke calmly, "For us to achieve our objective, it's necessary that Lin Feng trusts you. Monitor Lin Feng's movements when he is the other two tribes. I will give him a few surprises."

This seemed feasible to Fan Gen. He nodded, "Very well. I can do that. But if Lin Feng starts suspecting me, I will reveal the truth."

Wang Jian chuckled in response, "You worry too much, Old Fan. But do understand that if you betray me, I also won't show any mercy. You should be clear of my abilities now. I can enter your room once; I can do so again. Don't test me."

Wang Jian's dark chuckle echoed in Fan Gen's ears long after he had left the area.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian and Fan Gen communicated secretly using a Voice Communication Talisman.

Fan Gen informed Wang Jian of Lin Feng's location right after Lin Feng exits the Crimson Mammoth Warriors tribe.

The inheritress of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors tribe accompanied Lin Feng. She had a lean body with densely packed muscles. Her blows possessed enough strength to shatter large boulders.

Her name is Kang Huian.

As they were enroute, seven warriors suddenly attacked the two.

Lin Feng and Kang Huian joined forces and did their best to slaughter these assailants. While fighting, Kang Huian was gravely injured.

Lin Feng grabbed her and went into hiding. No tribe had an accurate read of his location.

Lin Feng was startled by this attack. He recognized a few of these warriors and knew they were Wang Jian's soldiers.

This implied that Wang Jian knew of his path and had prepared a trap.

Lin Feng instantly suspected the Crimson Mammoth Warriors. Only they knew this location precisely and leak it. He was sure that the majority of warriors in this tribe were innocent as he was engaged to Kang Huian. The leader of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors wouldn't wish for his daughter's death.

"…This must be the act of an individual holding rebellious intentions in the Crimson Mammoth Warriors Tribe," Lin Feng came to this conclusion rather quickly.

While the two were hiding, they headed towards the Miracle Angel Tribe.

The Miracle Angel Tribe possessed precious herbs that could heal Kang Huian quickly.

Furthermore, the Miracle Angel Tribe truly treated Lin Feng very well. He wasn't worried that they would betray him.

The Miracle Angel Tribe procured many precious medicinal herbs to heal Kang Huian.

However, something shocking occurred after a few days.

As her condition deteriorated, Kang Huian's complexion changed for the worse. Although her wounds were treated, she contracted an unusual disease.

Her veins turned murky, and this color was spreading across her entire body.

When the Miracle Angel Tribe's leader, Han Lei, saw her condition, he was astonished.

"She has been poisoned?!" Han Lei's shout resounded in the territory.

Even Lin Feng was utterly started to hear those words.

Poison?! Just who could poison Kang Huian in the Miracle Angel Tribe?!

"What poison is this? How do we treat it?" Lin Feng questioned.

"These dark veins…This is the terrifying Devil Venom!" Han Lei uttered.

"Devil? Is this poison demonic?" Lin Feng asked. He further added with a hopeful look, "If this is a demonic poison, Holy Qi should treat her."

With a wry look, Han Lei spoke, "No. A Devil Venom is far more terrifying. Not even our Holy Qi can purge it. A Devil Venom is created through a High-Ranking Devil's Blood and a couple of herbs. The only known method of dealing with the Devil Venom is to cut off the infected part."

"What?!" Lin Feng was astonished to hear the treatment.

"…Yes… The Devil Venom has already spread through Miss Kang's body. It's impossible to treat her through known means."

"What will happen to her now?" Lin Feng questioned grimly.

"The Devil Venom is devouring her life force and growing stronger. After it grows to a certain level, Miss Kang's body will explode and spread the Devil Venom to this entire region," Han Lei calmly explained.

Lin Feng felt his entire world shatter upon hearing those words.

"N-No way!"

"I am afraid this is the truth, Holy Son. To prevent a future disaster, we must kill her immediately," Han Lei grimly asserted.

"Nobody touches her!" Lin Feng roared. His aura flared in response and forced everyone back by two steps.

"Holy Son…I understand your feeling. In fact, I even admire you a bit. But you must be practical. She can't be saved and is a walking disaster for everyone around her," Han Lei steadily elucidated.

"I don't care. I will definitely heal her!" Lin Feng gave a swift response. He picked up Kang Huian's body and walked out of the Miracle Angel Tribe's hideout.

He couldn't trust the Miracle Angel Tribe with Kang Huian's life.

However, Han Lei and his comrades suddenly arrived to stop Lin Feng. They didn't come alone; Han Xifeng accompanied them as well.

"Stop, Holy Son! Don't accompany that woman anymore. You will die," Han Lei shouted.

"That's right, husband. Please stop. I don't want you to risk your life," Han Xifeng spoke aloud.

Lin Feng gritted in frustration as he heard those words.

"What are you saying, Xifeng?! You should know how I feel about Huian. About all of you. How can I just let Huian die to this poison?! I will not give up! I will definitely find a cure!" Lin Feng spoke resolutely.

"…I…I just don't want anything to happen to you, Brother Feng," Han Xifeng responded while tears leaked from her eyes.

Lin Feng's heart softened upon seeing her cry. He knew that she was only worried about him.

To relieve her, Lin Feng donned a smile and promised, "I will definitely be okay. For now, I need to conduct some research on dealing with this poison. Please wait for me, Xifeng."

Upon noticing that even his daughter couldn't convince Lin Feng, Han Lei shouted, "Holy Son. This is still too risky. Let her remain in our tribe. We can use a combination of herbs to delay the inevitable."

Lin Feng sneered in response and went on his way, "You will need to use force to stop me. But the question is…Do you dare?!"

Lin Feng dragged Kang Huian away, leaving the Miracle Angel Tribe stunned at his declaration.

He was their young lord in a sense. How can they attack him?!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

In the meantime, Wang Jian laid on a red sofa with comfortable bedding made of cotton and feathers. It was nearly as good as those expensive beddings in his previous life.

Beside him sat Su Xian on a pink chair with a comfy cushion. She wore a black and white dress that resembled a maid's dress in Wang Jian's mansion.

If Lin Feng knew what Su Xian was doing, he would pull his hair angrily as she was peeling oranges and other fruits for Wang Jian.

Naturally, Su Xian's expression was a sight to behold. Wang Jian felt a sense of satisfaction as he gazed into her eyes, radiating venom.

"Your animosity is delicious. This hatred makes these fruits even tastier," Wang Jian comments.

"You…You despicable bastard!" This was the only response Su Xian could come up with.

Wang Jian heard a mechanical sound in his head.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully coerced Su Xian to work as a maid for you. You gain 100 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully incited deep hatred in the Heroine Su Xian. You gain 50 Destiny Points.]

"Status."

[

Name: Wang Jian.

Age: 20 years old.

Destiny Points: 150.

Cultivation: First Stage of Spirit Realm.

Skills: Origin Fist, Beam of Destruction, and Mystic Force.

Bloodline: Devil Blood (Dormant).

Physique: Chaotic Yang Body (Dormant).

Spirit: Dark Spirit Viper (Three Star Spirit).

]

Wang Jian held 150 Destiny Points prior to collaborating with Fen Gen. So, why would he possess the same number of points when he had just acquired 150 Points from Su Xian?

This was because Wang Jian had used those 150 Destiny Points to create the Devil Venom.

This Devil Venom was necessary to establish a rift between Lin Feng and his allies.

According to the system, the Devil Bloodline within Wang Jian was a much higher-ranking bloodline as compared to an ordinary demon bloodline. So, Wang Jian thought of the Devil Venom.

The Devil Venom is quite famous in the Everlasting Mystical Empire, and as a Royal Prince, Wang Jian had naturally heard of it.

He knew that not even Holy Qi could purge this Devil Venom. Even in the Royal Family, the antidote of Devil Venom required the Devil's Blood through which this poison was concocted.

Moreover, the target suffering from Devil Venom wouldn't just die; he would explode and contaminate the entire area. This implied that the target must be killed quickly to prevent this situation from occurring.

So, Wang Jian had more or less anticipated the response of the Miracle Angel Tribe. He felt that there was a small possibility that they possessed a secret healing method to treat this poison. But it seemed that they didn't.

Why was Wang Jian sure about this? It was because he received many notifications from the system.

[Congratulations, Host. You successfully poisoned the heroine Kang Huian with the Devil Venom. You gain 150 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. Your schemes have broken up the relationship between the Protagonist Lin Feng, and the Miracle Angel Tribe. You gain 200 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully planted a seed of doubt in Protagonist Lin Feng's mind about the Crimson Mammoth Warriors. You gain 200 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian's Destiny Points shot through the roof in an instant.

He gained 550 Destiny Points just now.

Wang Jian held 700 Destiny Points.

"Interesting," Wang Jian suddenly chuckled.

Su Xian was startled to see Wang Jian laughing so abruptly. For some reason, she felt rather annoyed upon seeing him sniggering.

"Why are you laughing?" Unable to contain her curiosity, Su Xian inquired.

Wang Jian stared at Su Xian with a wicked smile. He knew that Lin Feng's top priority would be dealing with the Devil Venom.

Lin Feng wouldn't launch an attack at Wang Jian's mansion any time soon.

"I just think that Lin Feng's reaction would be hilarious if he saw this sight," Wang Jian commented.

These words naturally annoyed Su Xian as she glared at him.

Noticing her resentful look, Wang Jian added, "I heard Lin Feng had allied himself to the three great tribes in the jungle. These tribes are really generous as a beauty from each tribe has been engaged to Lin Feng."

"What?! There is no way that's true!" Su Xian was shocked to hear those words.

"Hmph. You think I need to lie to you regarding this? It's common knowledge that Lin Feng is engaged to the three heiresses of these great tribes. He has three beauties serving him. I am sure he has forgotten you by now. He is living in a heaven, so why would he look for you now?" Wang Jian spoke.

His words reverberated across Su Xian's body. However, she instinctively responded, "I am glad he is safe and happy."

Those words were spoken half-heartedly. But Wang Jian remained silent while gazing in Su Xian's eyes.

He suddenly held Su Xian's right arm and pulled her closer.

"Ehh!" Su Xian gasped as she felt Wang Jian's hands over her waist.

"Don't worry. You also won't miss him," Wang Jian mumbled in Su Xian's ear. His warm breath touched Su Xian's nape and made her entire body tingle with excitement.

Su Xian felt mortified as she felt thrilled.

However, reason returned to her quickly as she flailed her arms and protested, "Don't touch me! Let go of me!"

Her protests fell on deaf ears as Wang Jian continued to move his hands around her waist.

"You should get used to it, my dear maid," Wang Jian murmured.

Su Xian recalled her current status, and her mind froze.

Wang Jian teased her for some more time before releasing her.

'Hehe…She will soon get used to it,' Wang Jian thought nastily.

Wang Jian received a notification from the system. Taking a look at it, Wang Jian understood that he gained 50 Destiny Points by harassing Su Xian just now.

"Start feeding me those fruits," Wang Jian ordered domineeringly.

Su Xian could hardly think straight and did just as Wang Jian instructed. She fed him those peeled oranges and other fruits.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

After some time, Su Xian accompanied Wang Jian to his room before getting dismissed.

"Did Brother Feng really forget about me?" She whispered to herself as she began crying. Her pillow was soon drenched due to her sniffles.

Su Xian had a dream that night. In that dream, she witnessed Lin Feng living a blissful life with his three wives.

The next morning, she woke up with a rueful look. She recalled that there was a huge possibility that her dream could turn into reality.

In the meantime, Wang Jian utilized his 500 Destiny Points to learn the Royal Family's best cultivation technique. The Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique.

Actually, only 200 Destiny Points were required to learn the Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique. Wang Jian utilized 300 more Destiny Points to upgrade this technique to level 2.

There was a qualitative difference between the levels of a cultivation technique. The speed of absorption, the purity of energy, and the physique enhancement were some of the benefits gained through the level advancement.

The third level of the Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique required 1000 Destiny Points. However, after reaching this level, Wang Jian's meridians would transform. They would be fortified by the pure Qi and would widen considerably to hold even more qi.

Wang Jian spent the rest of his time getting used to the Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique. He was getting closer to the second stage of the Spirit Realm.

He then thought deeply regarding the situation with Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng should have utilized his Holy Qi to delay his wife's death. But this only buys him seven days. This indicates he has seven days to deal with the Devil Venom," Wang Jian spoke.

Wang Jian was under no delusion that Lin Feng couldn't treat this Devil Venom. He was sure that Lin Feng would think of a solution and apply it quickly.

That Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword is sure to assist him in this task.

Sure enough, Lin Feng found out that the second type of lightning in the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword is Devil Purging Blue Lightning.

To unlock the second type of lightning, Lin Feng had to slaughter nine Origin Beasts possessing pure Lightning Attribute. He had to bathe the sword in the blood of the beasts to awaken the second type of lightning.

At this moment, Lin Feng and Kang Huian were residing in a rest house near the Night Dagger Clan.

Fen Gen was delighted when Lin Feng arrived at his clan's hideout along with Kang Huian. This proved that Wang Jian's strategy worked perfectly.

However, Fen Gen was startled to discover that Kang Huian was struck with the Devil Venom.

Fen Gen knew that this must be Wang Jian's strategy, and his blood ran cold. As a veteran assassin, he was familiar with most poisons in the Everlasting Mystical Empire, and this poison scared him the most. This was because there was no known cure of this poison yet.

He never expected Wang Jian to possess this terrifying poison. Moreover, this strategy could have worked only if there were traitors in other tribes who were secretly collaborating with Wang Jian.

Fen Gen was forced to consider that his own tribe might hold such traitors.

He decided to keep a watchful eye on his members while thinking of a way to deal with Lin Feng's situation.

He knew that annoying Lin Feng at this moment would be a bad idea. This was the perfect opportunity to build a solid relationship with him.

However, Fen Gen also didn't want to risk his tribe's existence.

Kang Huian was a walking time-bomb. If she exploded while living inside the tribe, the entire tribe would be done for.

Lin Feng noticed Fen Gen's dilemma and suggested, "Give us a rest house near the tribe's outskirts and order a member to take care of Kang Huian's needs. This way, your tribe won't be affected during the explosion. I will personally clear the air and prevent the poison from coming in this direction."

Fen Gen felt Lin Feng's suggestion was quite suitable. Fortunately, there was no shortage of loyal members who would gladly risk their lives for the Night Dagger Clan.

Fen Gen selected a warrior and assigned him to Kang Huian's needs. It was a female member who was very close to Fen Gen.

Lin Feng seemed satisfied with this service and left shortly after.

He was searching for Beasts at Origin Realm as he wandered in the Thundering Hemlock Woods. These were just beside the Mellow Magnolia Woods where the three great tribes resided.

This Thundering Hemlock Woods was considered a forbidden jungle as a Beast at the Lord Rank ruled over it.

This beast is the Golden Flamingo. It's a beautiful small bird but possessing a tremendous power inside its tiny body.

This Golden Flamingo is one of its kind in the Thundering Hemlock Woods and rules over all the beasts in this forest.

There are naturally other Flamingos in the Thundering Hemlock Woods, but their bloodlines couldn't be compared to the Golden Flamingo. It's a freak of nature.

It's considered impossible to resist the lightning of this Golden Flamingo. This lightning is of the unique crimson color and possesses the law of annihilation that decimates everything in its path.

Moreover, the power of beasts in the Thundering Hemlock Woods is much greater compared to the beasts in Mellow Magnolia Woods.

In Mellow Magnolia Woods, the beasts stay united against the humans as they have to fight against the forces in the city and the three tribes as well.

However, the Thundering Hemlock Woods is different. There is a law of survival for the beasts.

Only the most aggressive and the strong beasts survive this vicious competition.

Thus, Spirit Realm Beasts are common in Mellow Magnolia Woods, while Origin Realm Beasts can be rarely found.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Lin Feng knew that only in the Thundering Hemlock Woods could he find nine Origin Realm Beasts with lightning attributes.

Wang Jian received the information of Lin Feng's departure to the Thundering Hemlock Woods through Fen Gen.

Fen Gen further stated in his letter that Lin Feng was looking for information on Origin Realm Lightning Beasts in the Thundering Hemlock Woods.

"So, he is really upgrading his sword. That sword must possess the power to treat Kang Huian," Wang Jian whispered.

An evil smile appeared on his face as he thought, 'It's prime time to act against these tribes.'

Wang Jian sent a message to Fen Gen.

"Come to the Pleasant Maple Ravine tonight. I need to have a thorough discussion with you."

As Fen Gen read Wang Jian's instructions, he was taken aback. He pondered Wang Jian's intentions and concluded that Wang Jian was probably planning to get rid of him.

This prospect filled him with intense fear.

However, he further thought about this possibility and realized that he might be overthinking.

Wang Jian was already aware of the Night Dagger Clan's latest lair. He might have simply killed Fen Gen by slipping inside the lair as he did the previous time.

Thus, Fen Gen decided to take a leap of faith and followed Wang Jian's instructions.

~~

In the meantime, Wang Jian returned to his room and called out for Su Xian.

Su Xian seemed annoyed upon being summoned to Wang Jian's room. She asked him, "What is it you want this time?"

"Massage my legs," Wang Jian responded flatly.

Su Xian gritted her teeth upon hearing this order. She protested by speaking, "I don't know how to massage."

"I don't care. Just lightly press my feet," Wang Jian ordered domineeringly.

Su Xian seemed infuriated as she asserted, "I will stop immediately if you dare to touch me."

Wang Jian raised his brows in amusement as he heard this threat.

"Hoh, really?"

"Yes!" Su Xian spoke. She didn't care about anything at this point. Knowing Lin Feng was safe and sound with the three great clans gave her peace of mind, as she realized Wang Jian could no longer use the Lin Feng's death to threaten her to do his bidding.

If worst comes to worst, she could just bite her tongue and die.

Wang Jian instantly read Su Xian's intentions by the look in her eyes.

'What a naïve little girl. Messing with her is truly fun,' Wang Jian thought.

The look of righteous indignation on Su Xian's face only intensified Wang Jian's desire to corrupt her.

"Sure. I won't touch you as long as you massage earnestly," Wang Jian assured candidly.

Su Xian seemed slightly relieved upon hearing those words and nodded, "Alright."

Wang Jian shifted a little to make some space for Su Xian to sit.

She sat on the side of Wang Jian's bed and began massaging his legs. Her claim of not knowing any massage methods seemed to be a falsehood as Wang Jian experienced incredible bliss.

He doubted that she was capable of giving such in-depth massages.

Even Su Xian relaxed as she noticed Wang Jian was truly relishing the massage.

In reality, Wang Jian was waiting. He was waiting for Su Xian to let her guard down.

Su Xian let her guard down, but only after half an hour.

Wang Jian's right hand abruptly grasped Su Xian's right hand firmly, and she was pulled into his bed before she could resist.

"Whaa-?!"

Wang Jian was lying on top of Su Xian's voluptuous body as the two were in a particularly amorous position on the bed.

Su Xian's breasts pressed against his broad chest as Wang Jian suddenly hugged her body.

"W-what are you doing? How dare you touch me?!" Su Xian shouted furiously. She felt angry and humiliated at this moment.

Just how could a man touch her so…so shamelessly?!

However, Wang Jian didn't seem to care about her protests as he pressed her against the bed and whispered, "You are just too irresistible. If not for your special physique, I would have eaten you right now."

Su Xian was horrified to hear those words. Her heart rate quickened due to terror, and it made her chest elevate and lower quickly. This was an alluring motion that could have distorted any man's mind.

Fortunately, it was Wang Jian. He controlled himself as he didn't want to ruin his perfect plan of corrupting Su Xian.

"N-No…Please don't," Su Xian pleaded woefully.

Wang Jian seemed excited by this sight and murmured, "I will let you go today, but don't forget your status. You are my maid. Don't forget that Lin Feng has already forgotten about you. He has already thrown you away from his mind to enjoy life with his three beauties."

At first, Su Xian was overjoyed and pleased when she learned that Wang Jian wouldn't do anything to her today. His subsequent statements, though, were a major downer for her.

Wang Jian left her room with a sated look, leaving behind a distraught Su Xian.

Three hours later, Wang Jian reached the Pleasant Maple Ravine. He saw Fen Gen seated on a tree stump, cut rather cleanly. There was another clean tree stump next to him, and Wang Jian approached it.

"Greetings, Lord Wang," Fen Gen respectfully uttered.

Wang Jian nodded in response to the greeting, but he picked up on Fen Gen's evident apprehension.

"What is the situation?" Wang Jian questioned.

"…Apparently, Kang Huian has fallen victim to Devil Venom while she was recovering from her injuries in the Miracle Angel Tribe. The Miracle Angel Tribe failed to heal her and suggested killing her. Lin Feng forcefully brought Kang Huian out of the Miracle Angel Tribe and rushed here," Fen Gen explained.

"Hmm. That tactic to attack Lin Feng in the Crimson Mammoth Warriors hideout was successful. Lin Feng must be thinking that someone in Crimson Mammoth Warriors is collaborating with me, so he decided that staying at your clan would be the best," Wang Jian elaborated with a sharp glint.

Fen Gen agreed with Wang Jian's analysis, "Lin Feng mentioned a few conditions before asserting that he would be heading for the Thundering Hemlock Woods."

"I see," Wang Jian responded calmly.

"From now on, do exactly as I tell you," Wang Jian asserted with a diabolic smile.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

In the next few days, a couple of interesting events occurred.

The first event that occurred was a news spreading in the Crimson Mammoth Warriors that stated Kang Huian's condition. The Night Dagger Clan was the one spreading this news, so the Crimson Mammoth Warriors trusted it.

The Crimson Mammoth Warriors were all simpletons who lived like family. If someone harmed one of them, the entire clan wouldn't rest until that person was killed.

The Crimson Mammoth Warriors were furious upon hearing Kang Huian's condition. They knew someone must have deliberately poisoned her.

However, before they could find the perpetrator, another interesting news spread in the area.

This news stated that the Miracle Angel Tribe attempted to kill Kang Huian to prevent her from unleashing the Devil Poison Cloud.

Even though the Crimson Mammoth Warriors understood the graveness of the situation, they were still furious. A few members immediately sought out the Miracle Angel Tribe members and beat the hell out of them.

This incident angered the Miracle Angel Tribe, and they retaliated by cursing the Crimson Mammoth Warriors in the name of Light God.

However, this was just the first step. The Miracle Angel Tribe knew that to deal with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors, they needed an ally. Thus, they approached the Night Dagger Clan.

In the meantime, a summit occurred within Wang Jian's mansion that comprised of Wang Jian, Fen Gen (the leader of the Night Dagger Clan), and Kang Fu (the head of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors).

Kang Fu glared at Fen Gen and shouted, "Where is my daughter?!"

Fen Gen's calmly ignored Kang Fu. His eyes were fixated on Wang Jian.

Wang Jian had a rather malevolent smile on his face as he stared at Kang Fu, "It was me who summoned you here, Kang Fu."

"What do you want, Wang Jian?!" Kang Fu shouted. He certainly felt much hatred for Wang Jian. Many of his clan members had lost their lives to Wang Jian's subordinates.

"For one, your daughter is in my custody. And her safety largely depends on your attitude, Kang Fu," Wang Jian calmly threatened.

Kang Fu flared his aura and shouted, "You dare?! If something happens to my daughter, I will stake my life to kill you?!"

Wang Jian didn't even bat his eyes as he stared at Kang Fu, "Even if you kill me, she will still die due to the Devil Venom. You have any way to resolve that?"

"…." Kang Fu gritted his teeth angrily but remained silent.

"I can even get rid of this poison. But I have a few conditions to it," Wang Jian declared.

Kang Fu was startled to hear Wang Jian's declaration. He was a bit doubtful of Wang Jian's claim, but he recalled that Wang Jian was a Royal Prince of the Everlasting Mystical Empire. Maybe the Royal Family had a secret method to treat this Devil Venom.

"What are those terms?" Kang Fu spoke more calmly. His aura had dissipated to the extent that it couldn't be felt.

Wang Jian smirked in response, "Continue your war with the Miracle Angel Tribe and bring them to their knees. I am sure you don't have any issues with this condition considering their actions against your daughter."

"Yes," Kang Fu nodded.

"The second condition is to break all connection with Lin Feng. And that means to break off the engagement between him and your daughter, Kang Huian," Wang Jian calmly stated.

At those words, Kang Fu showed a hesitant expression, "…That is impossible! Our entire tribe has already concluded the engagement ceremony in front of the War God. We can't just break this engagement. It would be a great disrespect to our god."

Wang Jian raised his brow upon hearing those words. He was about to order them a bit more sternly when another idea appeared in his head.

It was a despicable and vile idea, but Wang Jian felt that this would be the most appropriate and interesting way to deal with this situation.

"Okay, I'll modify my condition. Turn over all martial and cultivation methods of your tribe," Wang Jian instructed.

Kang Fu clenched his fists upon hearing the condition and instinctively wanted to reject it, but he paused upon noticing Wang Jian's cold gaze.

It was as if Wang Jian was stating that if Kang Fu dared to reject this condition, he would immediately have Kang Huian slaughtered.

Perhaps Kang Fu could get even with Wang Jian for Kang Huian by severely wounding or murdering him, but what good would it do when his daughter is dead?!

Thus, Kang Fu's mind started to weigh the pros and cons behind this condition. On one side was his dear daughter while on the other were the cultivation techniques recorded by the ancestors of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe in the last thousand years.

Just as Kang Fu thought along this direction, he recalled a saying prevalent in his tribe.

"The life of a fellow member is the most important thing. Even if you have to give up everything to save him, it is worth it."

The ancestors left this saying to ensure unity within the tribe. When Kang Fu recalled this saying, he instantly made his decision.

"I will personally bring all our cultivation and martial techniques. Is there any other condition?" Kang Fu inquired coldly.

Wang Jian wanted to add one last condition, but he changed his mind upon seeing Kang Fu's expression.

He decided to leave something for later.

"Go and meet your daughter. It will be a long time before you might meet her again," Wang Jian spoke.

Kang Fu didn't understand the second half of Wang Jian's sentence, but he didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it. A servant arrived and led Kang Fu to his daughter's resting place.

Kang Fu sucked a breath of cold air as he saw three warriors of the same rank as himself stationed near his daughter.

He realized it was impossible to take his daughter away by force.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

In the meantime, Kang Huian had just regained consciousness and was puzzled upon finding herself in such an unfamiliar location.

She had bombarded the guards with questions, but they had stayed quiet. When Kang Huian was about to walk away, her father emerged unexpectedly in the infirmary.

Kang Fu was delighted to see his daughter and immediately hugged her. This was the first time he was meeting her ever since his daughter caught the Devil Venom.

"No…This venom can hurt you," Kang Huian suddenly tried to pull herself away from the hug.

"I don't care," Kang Fu responded while tightly hugging his daughter.

"What happened father? Where am I? Is this one of our tribe's hideouts?" Kang Huian returned the hug while asking these questions.

Kang Fu's face went pale as he heard that question.

"…It's a long story," Kang Fu spoke as he started narrating the entire scenario from his point of view.

Kang Huian expressed astonished expression while she listened to the entire development.

She even gave her input regarding the actions of the Miracle Angel Tribe, as Lin Feng had informed her of their actions after she woke up in the Night Dagger Clan.

Lin Feng asked her to remain cautious as the Miracle Angel Tribe won't easily let her go. They consider her a huge threat and would do anything to kill her.

In reality, the Miracle Angel Tribe couldn't be blamed. The Devil Venom was far too lethal to risk spreading to another person.

However, Kang Huian and her tribe couldn't be concerned with this greater picture.

Rage consumed Kang Fu as he received conclusive proof that the Miracle Angel Tribe had plotted to kill his cherished daughter. No offense was greater than this in his eyes.

As Kang Fu and Kang Huian caught up, Wang Jian and Fen Gen conducted a crucial discussion.

"The next step is for you to join forces with the Miracle Angels Tribe. You won't be acting as a true ally, only a spy, of course. Betray them when I tell you to."

"Why create such a plan, your highness? The combined power of my Night Dagger Clan and the Crimson Mammoth Warriors is more than sufficient to steamroll the Miracle Angels Tribe," Fen Gen stated confidently.

"Do you think I am unaware of this fact?" Wang Jian replied coldly.

"…No, milord. I just wanted to let you know what I was thinking," Fen Gen reasoned while sweating nervously.

Wang Jian rolled his eyes and added, "I have my own reasons for applying this stratagem. Just do as I say. I will ensure that Kang Fu remains silent about this cooperation."

"Yes, milord," Fen Gen spoke.

"What about my task? Is it done?" Wang Jian asked.

Fen Gen raised his brows as he wondered which task. It took him a moment before realizing which task Wang Jian was mentioning. He replied, "Milord, the task is nearly complete. I will personally go and make some last-minute changes. It will be ready in evening."

"Good," Wang Jian smiled. He added, "Take that Dark Piercer Crossbow from the treasury."

Fen Gen was delighted to receive such a reward. He was so excited that he instantly replied, "Thank you, milord."

"You may leave now," Wang Jian ordered.

Fen Gen didn't dare to stay in the hall for another moment.

~~

After Kang Fu was done meeting his daughter, he returned to the hall. Fen Gen was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he came across an interesting sight.

Kang Fu saw Su Xian standing next to Wang Jian. She was waving it back and forth, creating a cool breeze for him. Naturally, he knew of her as Lin Feng's first lover.

She is the reason behind Lin Feng and Wang Jian's enmity.

In any case, Kang Fu was astonished to see Su Xian in the role of maid for Wang Jian. Lin Feng's rage would be completely uncontrollable if he found out about this.

Meanwhile, Su Xian also froze upon witnessing Kang Fu entering the hall. She paused her movements due to shock.

Wang Jian glared at Su Xian and whispered coldly, "Your movements have stopped."

"…" Su Xian bit her lips, but she slowly moved her hands while increasing her pace.

"So, have you talked to your daughter?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes. I will definitely uphold my end of the bargain. Just don't hurt my daughter. If you want to hurt someone, you can hurt me," Kang Fu spoke.

Wang Jian rolled his eyes as he stood up, "Don't make me a villain in this scenario. After talking to your daughter, you should realize that the Miracle Angel Tribe deserves to be destroyed. They did try to kill her. Moreover, I will be curing your daughter of Devil Venom. You should be clear about the value of Devil Venom's antidote. Even if you sold your entire tribe, you could still never afford it."

"…I understand this fact," Kang Fu responded angrily.

"I will return to my tribe now. They must be getting puzzled regarding my sudden disappearance. A member of my tribe will arrive tomorrow to hand over everything you asked for," Kang Fu spoke before turning around and leaving the hall.

Wang Jian also gazed at his servants and ordered them to leave the hall. After all the guards and servants except Su Xian were gone, the guards outside the hall closed the door.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Once the door closed, Wang Jian turned his entire attention on Su Xian. He reached out, wrapped his arm around Su Xian, and yanked her roughly.

As a result of being taken by surprise, Su Xian found herself sitting on Wang Jian's lap.

Instinctively, Su Xian attempted to free herself from Wang Jian's hold, but she failed yet again.

"You should know by now there is no use struggling," Wang Jian suddenly whispered in her ears.

Su Xian's efforts weakened after hearing those words as she calmed down. She had somewhat gotten used to this treatment.

Wang Jian smirked upon noticing her low resistance and whispered, "You consider this torture, right? Do you know the reason behind my actions? It is punishment."

Su Xian weakly replied, "…You are really a despicable man for using these useless reasons to harass me sexually."

"Oho. So, you've realized this? My beloved maid is becoming quite intelligent. I've never been happier in my life," Wang Jian said as his hand slid down her shirt and began to caress her midriff.

Su Xian's skin was rather sensitive, and she experienced a rather exciting feeling as Wang Jian's fingers caressed her.

If not for the fact that she hadn't lost her whole reason, Su Xian would have moaned out in joy.

After some moments of fondling her, Wang Jian let her go.

Su Xian was relieved and a tiny bit puzzled. She was aware of a man's desires and knew her own charm. She truly didn't understand how Wang Jian would suddenly regain his control after sexually harassing her so roughly.

It was like he had a certain limit beyond which he wouldn't mess with her.

Wang Jian noticed that it was nearly evening time and stood up, "Follow me. We need to be somewhere today."

Su Xian raised her brows as she failed to understand what Wang Jian wanted to say. However, she tidied her clothing and whispered submissively, "I am ready."

Wang Jian nodded and started leading the way. Outside the mansion, a magnificent chariot was waiting for them.

The chariot was a magnificent sight, crafted from sturdy wood and adorned with gleaming metal accents. It was designed for speed and maneuverability, with two large wheels that were bound with iron bands for added durability. The body of the chariot was open, allowing the charioteer to stand and drive.

Wang Jian and Su Xian stood up on the chariot. With a flick of the reins, the charioteer set the horses in motion, and the chariot began to roll forward, the wheels clattering against the cobbled street.

As he left the mansion on his chariot, Su Xian stood right next to Wang Jian.

"Where do you want to go, milord?" asked the charioteer.

"It is my visiting day," Wang Jian spoke.

Wang Jian's arm wrapped around Su Xian's waist tightly as they headed to their location. Su Xian was a bit resistant to this, but it was in vain.

After three hours, they were finally near their destination.

The location was on the southern outskirts of the town. It was an old district where the once grand buildings and homes had now become tired and worn. The cobbled streets were lined with crumbling brick buildings and overgrown gardens, giving the area a sense of neglect. The air was thick with the scent of damp and decay, and the sounds of the bustling city were muted here, replaced by the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves.

One of the most prominent features of the district was the orphanage, a large Victorian building that stood at the end of a quiet street. The building was imposing, with tall windows, a peaked roof, and a wraparound porch.

The charioteer drove the chariot beneath the porch and stopped. Wang Jian and Su Xian stepped down from the chariot.

Wang Jian ordered the charioteer, "Bring those two bags."

"Yes, milord," responded the charioteer rather obediently.

Wang Jian then turned towards Su Xian and spoke, "Help me distribute the content in those bags."

"What is in those bags?" Su Xian asked curiously.

Wang Jian didn't reply and headed inside the orphanage.

Su Xian's gaze was drawn to the charioteer, and she noticed that he was carrying two bulky sacks over his shoulders. Intrigued, she leaned forward to get a better look and was surprised to see that the sacks were filled to the brim with round, fluffy loaves of white bread.

White bread was expensive for an ordinary family in Zhenguan Region. They could afford it but just barely. However, Wang Jian naturally had no such concern. He had a large reserve stock of white bread in case of shortage in the market.

Su Xian was surprised to see an entire sack filled with these loaves. However, this wasn't the sack that truly astounded her.

The second sack held an even more remarkable surprise as the sound of clashing coins echoed each time the charioteer moved. The sack was filled to the brim with shimmering coins of various denominations, jingling and clattering together in a symphony of wealth.

Upon entering the orphanage, Su Xian came across Wang Jian who was surrounded by a group of energetic and cheerful children. The kids were chattering away, their faces alight with delight as they conversed with Wang Jian.

The scene was one of warmth and happiness, as the children seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their interaction with Wang Jian. Su Xian couldn't help but smile at the sight, feeling a sense of joy just from observing the carefree and joyful atmosphere that Wang Jian had brought to the orphanage.

Very soon, the caretakers of the orphanage arrived as they noticed the commotion. When the caretakers saw it was Wang Jian, their faces lit up instantly.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Ling Wei stepped forward and spoke, "You have my gratitude, your highness, for sticking to your schedule and visiting this poor orphanage once a week. The previous stock of breads was about to be exhausted and we were planning to contact you regarding it."

Wang Jian smiled upon hearing those words. He spoke while caressing a little girl's face and a little boy's head, "You shouldn't have waited then. It would have been terrible if these little kids had to eat that low-quality food that would be detrimental for their growth."

"Thank you big brother for bringing us this tasty food," a little girl spoke gratefully.

Wang Jian caressed her head and spoke, "You don't have to thank me for this little thing. Just focus on having fun and growing up nicely."

All the kids suddenly hugged him and thanked him. It was a rather warm moment and Su Xian couldn't help but feel good.

Su Xian had always regarded Wang Jian as a cruel and heartless monster, devoid of any capacity for compassion or kindness. However, she was now witnessing a facet of his character that was entirely at odds with her previous perceptions. To her surprise, she was pleasantly impressed by this new side of Wang Jian. In all honesty, she couldn't help but acknowledge that he was actually not so bad after all.

The children, in turn, were equally enchanted by Wang Jian. They followed him around like he was a hero, hanging on to his every word and laughing at his jokes.

As the day progressed, Wang Jian and Su Xian participated in a variety of activities with the children. They played games, made crafts, and even helped prepare lunch.

At the end of the day, Wang Jian declared, "I will be donating a hefty sum to your orphanage. This money will be used entirely for you all. Never let anyone tell you that you can't do anything because of your background or circumstances. I assure you that this is just the beginning of your life. Your fate is in your hands."

"With unwavering determination, relentless effort, and a thirst for knowledge, you will unlock the doors to boundless success. I am committed to securing the top educators to help you discover your natural gifts and cultivate them with care. Through your talents, you will command respect and admiration from all who cross your path. So, let's make sure to hone them to the finest degree!"

The kids in the orphanage collectively cheered at Wang Jian's speech.

"We will definitely work hard!"

"I never thought about it that way. I'm going to try my best to find my talent and make the most of it."

"I'm going to study as much as I can and show everyone that I'm just as good as anyone else."

"I was feeling down, but those words have given me the motivation to keep going. I won't give up on my dreams."

Wang Jian nodded in satisfaction and turned around to face Su Xian, "Let's return now. It's nearly nighttime."

The kids seemed rather reluctant upon hearing those words. They instantly surrounded Wang Jian and tried to convince him to stay with them a bit longer.

The kids even turned towards Su Xian and requested her as well.

Su Xian tried to convince Wang Jian by sending a rather forced expression. Unfortunately, it was impossible to change his mind.

Wang Jian knew it was time to go, as he had stayed longer than intended.

The two soon returned to the chariot. The charioteer set the horses in motion, and they were on their way to the mansion.

Upon their return, Wang Jian gracefully made his way to his private chambers, while Su Xian retired to her cozy abode, each lost in thought about their fulfilling day at the orphanage. Especially Su Xian.

To her, it felt as if her entire world had turned upside down after witnessing this event. She had no idea whether Wang Jian was good or bad.

Su Xian struggled to erase the memories of his cruel actions - the way he had attempted to force himself upon her and the venomous words he had spoken. She had no idea that Wang Jian seemed to completely occupy her mind.

She was no longer indifferent to his actions as her mind overanalyzed Wang Jian's every action.

In the meantime, Wang Jian returned to his room and laid on the bed.

He ordered, "Display the notifications for today."

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully incited deep hatred between the protagonist's factions. You receive a reward of 500 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have drastically raised the Heroine Su Xian's impression of yourself. You receive a reward of 200 Destiny Points.]

Other than these congratulatory notifications, there was another notification that suggested a warning.

[The system recommends Master to stay a bit away from the Heroine. Master was about to cross the threshold today and trigger the defensive protocol of the World Essence that would start correcting their destiny paths. You must steal greater luck of the protagonist before directly acting against him or his heroines.]

"Show me my status screen," Wang Jian ordered.

[

Name: Wang Jian.

Age: 20 years old.

Destiny Points: 950.

Cultivation: First Stage of Spirit Realm.

Cultivation Technique: Soaring Dragon Technique (Level 2) (Requires 5000 Destiny Points to level up.)

Skills: Origin Fist, Beam of Destruction, and Mystic Force.

Bloodline: Devil Blood (Dormant).

Physique: Chaotic Yang Body (Dormant).

Spirit: Dark Spirit Viper (Three Star Spirit).

]

"How much luck do I need to bypass the defensive protocol?" Wang Jian asked.

[Your Villain's luck must be nearly equal or surpass the Protagonist's luck. To view your and the Protagonist's luck, you require 100 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian frowned upon reading that part of the description. He asked, "Must I expend points every time I want to view mine and the protagonist's luck?"

[No. Master can also buy the True Eyes Ability. It is an expensive ability as it requires 1 Million Points.]

"What?! An ability to view someone's luck is so expensive?! That's blatant robbery."

[That's not the only use of the True Eyes Ability. Using this ability, Master can also see through their true emotions and even read their thoughts. However, if Master only wishes to view and compare luck then you just require 10,000 Destiny Points.]

"Damn. That's still too expensive for me," Wang Jian sighed in disappointment.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"Whatever. Deduct 100 Destiny Points and compare my luck to the protagonist Lin Feng's," Wang Jian commanded the system.

[

Master's Villain Halo: 437

Lin Feng's Protagonist Halo: 4142 (Rising)

]

Wang Jian was stunned to observe the immense disparity between his own good fortune and that of Lin Feng. He realized that it would require tireless effort and perseverance even to come close to equaling Lin Feng's seemingly endless run of luck.

"I have another doubt. What if the heroine accepts me and actually falls for me? Will the World Essence Defensive Protocol still occur?"

[No. That would become a special case. Moreover, if this occurs, Master will shave off a significant part of Lin Feng's Protagonist Halo.]

Wang Jian was relieved to hear that statement. Fortunately, all was not lost. His tactic would still work.

His plan to corrupt Su Xian will most likely work.

Wang Jian was acutely aware, however, that he only had a limited window of opportunity to execute his plan effectively, as Lin Feng was due to return in just a matter of five days.

After Lin Feng returns, he will most likely unlock the second seal of his sword and possess power to defeat an Origin Realm Cultivator.

Wang Jian knew he had to acquire Destiny Points quickly. Otherwise, when Lin Feng returns, he will easily slaughter Wang Jian's forces.

Naturally, Wang Jian didn't forget that he had another source of destiny points at this moment. Lin Feng's second wife, Kang Huian.

There was a specific reason Wang Jian chose her as his target for Devil Venom. It was because gaining her favorability was the easiest part. He just had to defeat her so thoroughly to make her believe that he was much superior to Lin Feng.

Fortunately, Wang Jian possessed 850 Destiny Points. He could upgrade and even learn new martial arts to completely dominate Kang Huian in battle.

Wang Jian was about to reach the second stage of the Spirit Realm, so he required only 50 Destiny Points for it. However, for the next realms, he required 100 Destiny Points. He invested a total of 350 Destiny Points in elevating his cultivation base to the fifth stage of the Spirit Realm.

As his cultivation realm rose, Wang Jian utilized 200 Destiny Points to upgrade his fist Origin Fist to the third level. While he used another 200 Destiny Points to upgrade his Beam of Destruction to the second level.

After these upgrades occurred, Wang Jian became very confident in his ability. Now, his only weakness was possessing no good movement skill.

Well, he decided to take care of it later.

The next day arrived rather quickly for Wang Jian as he spent it by meditating and consolidating his cultivation realm.

As the sun began to rise, Su Xian entered Wang Jian's room, carrying a tea set with grace and poise.

Wang Jian smiled upon seeing her and waited until she poured his tea before speaking, "You are finally acting obediently. This makes me happy."

Su Xian was taken aback by the unexpected words. She didn't know why, but she felt a strange emotion similar to happiness.

After Wang Jian had his tea, Su Xian carried the entire tea set and started walking out of the room.

While she was moving out, Wang Jian suddenly spoke, "You can have today as your holiday. Go and meet your family."

"Ehh? Really?!" Su Xian was excited to hear those sudden statements and couldn't help but ask instinctively.

"Yes," Wang Jian spoke. He further added, "This is all because you are finally acting as a proper maid."

Su Xian was happy to hear the reason. She felt delighted to get up early and prepare this tea for Wang Jian.

She never expected Wang Jian actually grant her the freedom to reunite with her family after such a prolonged absence. Her heart swelled with the longing to see her loved ones again, the yearning growing stronger with each passing day.

Wang Jian observed Su Xian's elation with a smirk, not needing any notification from the system to gauge her in this moment.

He received a notification from the system that he had accrued 300 Destiny Points due to his successful efforts in leaving a positive impression in Su Xian's mind.

In fact, letting Su Xian meet her family was one of his strategies. Firstly, it would allow him to gain a positive impression in her mind.

Secondly, since the initiation of his plan to manipulate Su Xian, Wang Jian covertly convened with her family and coerced them. He cunningly manipulated her father with bribes and threatened her mother into submission. After Su Xian returns to her family, her closest family members convince her to accept Wang Jian.

While Su Xian was gone, Wang Jian decided it was time to work on the second heroine, Kang Huian.

Wasting no time, he made his way to the infirmary where Kang Huian was recuperating. Upon seeing him, the guards and servants made way. Wang Jian signaled for everyone to depart, granting him private time with Kang Huian.

"It's no use pretending that you are asleep. Your breathing changed the moment I entered this room. I don't believe in such coincidences," Wang Jian spoke coldly.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Kang Huian was a stunning seventeen-year-old beauty with a powerful strength that belied her lean and seductive physique. Her slender frame was perfectly proportioned, with curves in all the right places, and her almond-shaped eyes were a warm and inviting brown.

Her long, silky black hair flowed down her back in a midnight river, contrasting beautifully against her porcelain skin. Her full lips were a natural rosy hue, and her cheekbones were high and defined, giving her a regal appearance.

Her gorgeous eyes opened, revealing her mesmerizing, ruby pupils. Those red pupils stared curiously at Wang Jian as this was their first meeting.

She was immediately struck by Wang Jian's handsome appearance. His silver hair and piercing blue eyes were like no other she had ever seen before. The way he carried himself, dressed in royal clothing, added to his already impressive demeanor.

"Y-you are Wang Jian?" She stuttered while softly calling out his name.

"Correct," Wang Jian calmly replied. He went and sat on a chair next to Kang Huian's bed.

Kang Huian attempted to rise from her bed, but was overcome by a sudden jolt of pain from the Devil Venom, causing her to recline back in discomfort.

"You have already met your father. I am sure he has informed you of the situation and our deal," Wang Jian spoke.

Kang Huian's expression was filled with a mixture of bitterness and disgust as she spoke, "Yes, I did hear a bit. In exchange for curing me from the Devil Venom, you want my tribe to eradicate the Miracle Angel Tribe. And on top of that, you want all of our cultivation and martial techniques as well."

"What's with that expression? Do you think I am being unfair?" Wang Jian inquired with an amused smile.

Kang Huian's fists tightened into balls as the words reached her ears. The audacity of Wang Jian to play the role of a cunning swindler and use her as leverage to extort her tribe was simply unforgivable. The urge to retaliate surged within her like a wildfire. Had she not been inflicted with the Devil Venom, she would have leaped to her feet and launched a fierce attack on the spot.

A faint glimmer of realization shone through her mind. She pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that, had she not been bitten by the Devil Venom, she wouldn't have found herself in such a dreadful and vulnerable state. It was due to this venom that she was completely incapable of mounting a resistance against Wang Jian's vile schemes.

"Staying silent is the right decision. Now, let's get straight to the topic. I came here to strike a deal with you," Wang Jian spoke calmly.

Kang Huian was displeased to hear those words and replied venomously, "What? You are going to extort me separately?"

Wang Jian appeared amazed to hear her and seriously nodded, "You are rather prudent. I did come to extort you, but the subject is different. It's not your own life you have to be worried about."

Kang Huian was initially at a loss, wondering what Wang Jian's stipulation would be for curing her of the Devil Venom. Yet, as she delved deeper into his request, the reality of the situation became clear to her.

"N-No way. You evil bastard…!" Kang Huian shouted as she tried to stand up and attack Wang Jian. However, the pain was so great that her limbs remained immobilized.

Wang Jian's face lit up with satisfaction as he noticed Kang Huian's comprehension, "Ah, so you finally comprehend the situation. To put it simply, I'm using your father, or should I say your tribe's lives, as leverage to get what I want."

Wang Jian was thrilled as he saw the distress in Kang Huian's expression. He took pleasure in her despondency, knowing that he had the upper hand.

Kang Huian seethed with anger as Wang Jian cut her off and continued with his selfish demands. "End my engagement to Lin Feng? You must be kidding me. My father and tribe would never stoop so low as to betray the War God's trust. You're a lowlife to even suggest such a thing!"

Wang Jian sneered in response. "Your father's foolish pride will be the death of you all. What good is loyalty to the War God if it means sacrificing your family? Your father's honor means nothing in the face of death."

"You're a despicable, conniving rat, Wang Jian!" Kang Huian shouted, her eyes blazing with fury. "I will make sure you pay for all the pain and suffering you've caused my tribe and me. You have no right to question our loyalty to the War God, and you certainly have no right to use our lives as bargaining chips!"

Wang Jian disregarded her words by rolling his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, I know. I know how you wish to kill me a thousand times. But can we really do this another time? I am a busy person. I don't have so much time to hear you rant."

A serious look appeared in his eyes, "Give me your answer immediately. Will it be your clan's destruction or breaking your marriage contract with Lin Feng? If you dare to mess around any longer, I will consider it as you choosing the former option."

Kang Huian gritted her teeth upon hearing that ultimatum. She said, "…Very well. I will break my marriage contract immediately."

She closed her eyes, her body surrounded by a glowing green aura. As she concentrated, an ancient yellow scroll materialized before her. The scroll was etched with Kang Huian and Lin Feng's names, along with intricate script and symbols that hinted at its immense power.

This was a religious marriage contract that signified the union of Kang Huian and Lin Feng. This marriage contract significantly boosted their physical power as long as they were near each other.

Wang Jian glared at Kang Huian and ordered her, "Tear it!"

"…" Kang Huian remained silent as she stared at this marriage contract. Memories of her time together with Lin Feng flashed in her mind, but she still decisively chose to tear it.

No matter how precious Lin Feng was to her, he could never compare to her father's life.

Kang Huian utilized her green colored qi and tore apart that ancient yellow contract. After it was torn, the yellow energy around that ancient contract gathered into a stream and headed toward Lin Feng.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

At this moment, Lin Feng was fighting a terrifying Origin Realm beast in Thundering Hemlock Woods. This was a Lightning Attribute Beast that Lin Feng had to defeat to level up his Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword.

However, that yellow energy soon entered Lin Feng's body and actually tore the marriage contract with Kang Huian in his body. This actually injured his spirit and caused him to lose his focus from the battle. This further prevented Lin Feng from dodging the Lightning Beast's attack, and he was gravely injured.

Lin Feng judged that he couldn't defeat this Lightning Beast in his current condition and quickly utilized his Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword's ability to leave the area to recuperate.

As he rested in a secluded location, Lin Feng tried to find the reason behind the injury to his spirit. He soon realized that his marriage contract with Kang Huian had been broken.

This confused Lin Feng to a great extent. Just why would it break so suddenly? Did something happen to Kang Huian? Was it due to the Devil Venom?

Lin Feng didn't even dare to imagine that Kang Huian had torn this marriage contract willingly, as this was utterly ridiculous thought.

He initially considered returning to check on Kang Huian's condition but decided otherwise. In the last few days, Lin Feng had rapidly increased his combat prowess. Moreover, he strongly felt that he must unlock the second seal before returning, or he won't be able to help Kang Huian.

Thus, Lin Feng remained in Thundering Hemlock Woods.

In the meantime, Wang Jian received a notification from his system.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully coerced Heroine Kang Huian into breaking her marriage contract with the Protagonist Lin Feng. You have gained 2000 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian was astounded at the vast number of Destiny Points that he had accumulated through this event.

This was merely the first marriage contract. Wang Jian couldn't help but think how many points he would gain if he broke the other two marriage contracts of Lin Feng.

In fact, it would be even more monstrous if he made his women truly fall in love with him.

"Good," Wang Jian spoke as he rubbed Kang Huian's head. He commented, "Due to breaking that contract, your spirit is much weaker. Take this medicine pellet. It's a spirit medicine that can recover your spirit. We will begin your treatment from tomorrow."

Once he was finished speaking, Wang Jian left the infirmary. He had a lot of work to do.

Wang Jian conducted his first meeting with Kang Fu and informed him of the strategy to attack the Miracle Angel Tribe. He informed Kang Fu of the Night Dagger Clan's role.

Kang Fu seemed disdainful of this strategy as he didn't like these little schemes. He preferred direct battles.

Unfortunately, his preference mattered little to Wang Jian, who ordered him to stay clear of the Night Dagger Clan and focus only on the Miracle Angel Tribe.

The Night Dagger Clan members will be wearing completely different clothing, so it will be easy to identify them.

Meanwhile, Fen Gen had already informed the core members of this scheme.

However, due to their alliance with the Miracle Angel Tribe, the Night Dagger Clan aided them in constructing formidable defensive barriers, thus impeding the advance of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors and protecting the tribe from potential massacre.

Han Lei, the leader of the Miracle Angel Tribe, conducted a meeting with Fen Gen, the leader of the Night Dagger Clan, and a few of their core members from their respective tribes.

They were discussing a method to defeat the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.

"Fighting head-on against those brutes would be a losing battle. We should prepare a strategy to defeat them," Han Lei evaluated.

Everyone in the hall agreed with his assessment.

"What is your suggestion?" Fen Gen asked calmly.

"How about we ambush them during nightfall? It would be wonderful if we could kill their core warriors. It's good that these brutes aren't good at concealing their location. I already have a rough idea of their hideout," Han Lei stated proudly.

"I see," Fen Gen spoke.

Han Lei nodded and continued, "Yes, brother Fen. Your clan's specialty is these sneak attacks. I think it would be best if you led a team of warriors to assassinate the Crimson Mammoth Warriors. The sensing techniques of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors are rather dull. They would never see this attack coming."

Fen Gen sneered in response, "What a wonderful strategy. So, my tribe members must endanger their lives while you relax and enjoy the rewards. Did I get that right? Also, what if someone discovers us?! Won't we be dead meat then?! I won't be risking the lives of my fellow clan members for such a reckless strategy."

Han Lei was speechless to hear those words.

"…That's not what I meant," Han Lei tried to explain.

However, Fen Gen was having none of it as he coldly glared at Han Lei, "Don't make any excuses. Think of another strategy, and we can consider it."

He and his entourage left the hall. The strategy meeting had broken down.

In the meantime, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe spread their warriors to search their base. Fen Gen hadn't yet betrayed the Miracle Angel Tribe.

Wang Jian wanted to reduce the power of these three tribes. In reality, he wanted to utilize this opportunity to gain fealty of these three clans.

The Miracle Angel Tribe's scouts were keeping an eye on the Crimson Mammoth Tribe Warriors. They noticed many of these warriors were roaming alone as they were extremely arrogant of their strength.

In fact, the Crimson Mammoth Warriors disdained to fight in a group.

Thus, it made things easier for the Miracle Angel Tribe. They prepared traps and deadly poisons to reduce the manpower of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

The Crimson Mammoth Tribe had a total of hundred warriors. Out of these hundred warriors, seventy were at True Realm, while twenty-five were at Spirit Realm and five at the Origin Realm.

Meanwhile, the Miracle Angel Tribe had eighty warriors. Sixty warriors were of the True Realm, eighteen at the Spirit Realm, and two at the Origin Realm.

On the first day, the Miracle Angel Tribe members targeted these lone warriors of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The Miracle Angel Tribe members managed to kill twenty warriors in a single night. Out of these twenty warriors, seventeen were of the True Realm, while three were of the Spirit Realm.

The Crimson Mammoth Warriors were startled as they discovered the corpses of their comrades. They instantly understood that the Miracle Angel Tribe was utilizing deadly poisons to kill them.

Kang Fu spread an order for all the Crimson Mammoth Warriors to regroup at the camp. He understood that the Miracle Angel Tribe must have known their base location or else, it would have been impossible for their ambush to succeed so easily.

Fen Gen prepared a detailed report regarding this ambush and sent it to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian read this report. He was slightly surprised by the Miracle Angel Tribe's approach, but it pleased him greatly. This would significantly weaken the Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

He knew that in a direct battle, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe would completely overwhelm the Miracle Angel Tribe. Thus, he had to weaken them before commencing this attack.

Meanwhile, the Night Dagger Clan set up various defensive barriers around the Miracle Angel Tribe. These defensive measures were to slow down the forces of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe when they launched their direct assault.

After reading this report, Wang Jian left it on the table and lay on his bed, planning to sleep.

At this moment, he received a notification from the system.

[Congratulations, Host. You have left an exceptionally positive impression in Heroine Su Xian's mind. You gain 500 Destiny Points.]

[

Name: Wang Jian.

Age: 20 years old.

Destiny Points: 2900.

Cultivation: Fifth Stage of Spirit Realm.

Cultivation Technique: Soaring Dragon Technique (Level 2) (Requires 5000 Destiny Points to level up)

Skills: Origin Fist, Beam of Destruction, and Mystic Force.

Bloodline: Devil Blood (Dormant).

Physique: Chaotic Yang Body (Dormant).

Spirit: Dark Spirit Viper (Three Star Spirit).

]

Wang Jian utilized 400 Destiny Points to upgrade his cultivation to the Ninth Stage of the Spirit Realm.

Another breakthrough, and he would reach the First Stage of the Origin Realm.

There was a qualitative difference between an Origin Realm cultivator and a Spirit Realm cultivator.

To break through to the Origin Realm, Wang Jian required a thousand Destiny Points. After thinking for some time, Wang Jian came to a conclusion.

He ordered the system, "Utilize a thousand Destiny Points and boost my cultivation to the Origin Realm."

The system complied with his order immediately as thousand destiny points were deducted, and his Sea of Qi was injected with a mysterious energy that suddenly transformed it.

His Souring Dragon Technique activated automatically and absorbed that mysterious energy, spreading it across Wang Jian's entire body.

Wang Jian felt his physique getting stronger and flames rising in his Sea of Qi. This indicated he had unlocked an element! Moreover, it was the flame element.

A small viper within Wang Jian's Sea of Qi ingested those flames and started transforming.

Wang Jian utilized his entire Qi and concentration to accelerate the transformation of his viper.

After half a day, the transformation was complete. Wang Jian couldn't help but smile as his spirit had completely changed.

It now had two heads; one was completely dark, while the other was of red color. Its body was significantly longer and thicker, while its aura was nearly as strong as Wang Jian's qi.

This was the birth of a mutated monster spirit known as the Two-Headed Dark Flame Viper!

[Congratulations, Host. You have cracked open one of your seals of the Chaotic Yang Body and unlocked the Sacred Flame.]

[Congratulations, Host. Your three-star spirit Dark Spirit Viper has mutated into a five star spirit Two Headed Dark Flame Viper.]

After hearing these notifications, Wang Jian fell unconscious.

~~

The next day Su Xian returned to Wang Jian's mansion in the early morning. Her enthusiasm was mainly due to the fact that her opinion of Wang Jian had completely changed.

Despite his behavior that Su Xian found perverted and lewd, she couldn't help but think that deep down he had a kind heart and noble intentions.

If Wang Jian had known her thoughts, he would have laughed hysterically.

She served bed-tea to Wang Jian after returning.

Wang Jian's eyes widened in surprise when he awoke to find Su Xian, dressed in her maid uniform, expertly wheeling a trolley carrying a tea set towards him.

A deviant desire flooded his mind as he wanted nothing more than to grab hold of Su Xian and pound her mercilessly. However, Wang Jian regained control of his thoughts quickly as he knew his relationship with Su Xian still wasn't that great.

While he drank the tea, Wang Jian engaged Su Xian in an interesting conversation.

"Did you hear? The three tribes of the Mellow Magnolia Woods are engaged in brutal war. And the reason is rather fascinating," Wang Jian initiated the conversation through this topic.

"The three tribes? Aren't they allied to Brother Feng? Why would they wage war against each other? What is Brother Feng doing?" Su Xian asked these questions rapidly.

"It appears that the Crimson Mammoth Warriors believe that the Miracle Angel Tribe poisoned their tribe heiress with Devil Venom and also tried to kill her due to her close relationship with Lin Feng. Unfortunately, they failed, and Lin Feng carried her back."

"Lin Feng has gone to another forest to find the antidote to this poison. The leader of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors though couldn't rest assured as he wished to utilize all options to heal his daughter. So, he brought his daughter to me to heal the Devil Venom. I agreed in return of gaining all of his tribe's techniques."

"…After leaving his daughter with me, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe waged war on the Miracle Angel Tribe to make them pay for their actions. Meanwhile, the Miracle Angel Tribe has allied themselves to the Night Dagger Clan to defeat the Crimson Mammoth Tribe," Wang Jian finished narrating the entire scenario.

Su Xian asked in a shaky voice, "Y-you mentioned the heiress of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe is here. Is that true?!"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian raised a brow and thought to himself, 'I just told you that a whole war between the three tribes is occurring, and this is your first question?!'

However, he did reply, "Yes. She is currently resting in infirmary. I will treat her poison today."

"C-Can I come along with you and meet her?" Su Xian asked hesitantly.

As Su Xian posed the question, a sinister grin crept upon Wang Jian's face, and he looked at her with a covetous gaze yet said nothing. A sense of foreboding filled Su Xian as she caught the glint in his eyes. Her intuition proved right as Wang Jian abruptly seized her, pulling her closer to himself.

This time, though, Su Xian didn't resist as much as she previously used to. It was unknown whether this was due to her improved opinion of Wang Jian or because she realized the futility of her resistance.

Wang Jian brought his face near to Su Xian's while whispering, "Sure. But only if you kiss me."

"…No," Su Xian responded.

"You really break my heart with that rejection. Are you sure you don't need to think more about it? It will be hard for you to get another chance to confirm her relationship with Lin Feng?" Wang Jian asked while he groped her voluptuous body.

Su Xian's body wriggled due to nervousness and sensitivity. She instinctively moaned a few times while asking, "…S-stop this. Why are you so nasty to me?"

"What else can I do? I realized that you would never give me a chance the normal way since you love that brat Lin Feng. And why? Because he met you earlier than me. I assure you that you would have definitely loved me if you had met me before," Wang Jian whispered softly.

It was only then that Su Xian realized something. She asked, "So, you are harassing me because you like me?!"

"Yes. I wanted you so bad that I didn't even care if I got your ire. I just wanted you near me, feeding me. You are so beautiful that I can't help but want to hold you in my arms. If not for liking you, I truly would have violated you." Wang Jian spoke, his hand caressing her navel.

Su Xian felt a little delighted to hear these words, but she still spoke, "I thought you weren't violating me because you wanted me to retain my purity until I reached the Spirit Realm. Isn't that how you planned to become an Origin Realm warrior?"

At this moment, Wang Jian fondling her was the last of her worries.

"…You think I need your physique to reach the Origin Realm?" Wang Jian started laughing aloud. "Perhaps that was true then. But definitely not now."

Before Su Xian could question him, Wang Jian released his aura as an Origin Realm cultivator.

Su Xian experienced an oppressive feeling that seemed much more intense than a Spirit Realm cultivator's aura.

As a ninth stage True Realm cultivator, she could sense that a Spirit Realm warrior would never much such an intense aura.

As the weight of the oppressive feeling bore down on her, her mind raced to process Wang Jian's words, delving deeply into her thoughts.

'Does this mean he really likes me? What else could be holding him back from violating me? Did I make a mistake in judging him?'

"…Perhaps you are right. I indeed never would have given you a chance if you approached me the normal way," Su Xian suddenly spoke.

Wang Jian remained silent as he continued to grope her body. His right hand even caressed her buttocks.

Su Xian naturally felt shy as Wang Jian got bolder. However, she added, "…However, I am ready to change. I will give you a chance and seriously consider you. But only if you can let me meet Kang Huian and confirm her relationship with Lin Feng."

"Interesting. So, you are going to give me a condition? Are you forgetting your status?" Wang Jian seemed amused by her statements.

"Yes. Didn't you say you liked me? Can't you even fulfil this request?" Su Xian asserted questioningly.

"You are really an interesting woman. Very well, I agree," Wang Jian whispered as he stopped caressing her ass and just hugged her affectionately.

Wang Jian's voice was low and husky as he spoke, "However, before we leave, I want to hold you close." With a gentle tug, he drew Su Xian towards him, their bodies entwining on the soft bed beneath them. As they held each other tightly, the heat of their passion rose, filling the room with a thick, heady scent.

Even Su Xian felt extremely aroused at this moment. She didn't even realize that she had lost much of her animosity towards Wang Jian. Her resistance towards these cuddles was practically nil.

Wang Jian could feel that even if he went a step further and groped her breasts, Su Xian wouldn't mind much. However, he didn't take advantage of this opportunity.

He felt it would be better to wait a bit more. At that time, he would get this woman wrapped around his finger.

After half an hour, the two got up, and Wang Jian led her to the infirmary where Kang Huian was resting.

"Kang Huian, open your eyes," Wang Jian spoke authoritatively.

Kang Huian's spirit had recovered from the spirit injury she incurred due to breaking her marriage contract with Lin Feng. Wang Jian's spirit recovery pellet played a huge role in her recovery.

Kang Huian's eyes fluttered open and landed on Wang Jian, but her train of thought was abruptly derailed as she caught sight of a woman in a maid uniform standing beside him.

Even Kang Huian felt captivated as she gazed at Su Xian's gorgeous appearance and a voluptuous figure. She even felt a bit inferior when comparing herself to Su Xian's beauty.

Upon noticing Kang Huian's dumbfounded expression, Wang Jian spoke, "This is my maid, Su Xian. You might have heard of her before."

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"W-What?! This is Brother Feng's childhood sweetheart, Su Xian?!" Kang Huian could hardly believe those words. She couldn't help but wonder why this woman was wearing a maid uniform at this moment.

However, she gazed at Wang Jian and guessed that this evil bastard must have coerced her.

"…Yes, Brother Lin and I were childhood friends," Su Xian confirmed Kang Huian's suspicions.

"Why are you serving this bastard?!" Kang Huian asked indignantly.

Su Xian frowned slightly upon hearing this question and Kang Huian's tone. She was about to respond that Wang Jian spoke up, "Just because your husband hates me doesn't mean that everyone else also does. She is my dear maid who obeys my every word, right Xian'er?"

As he spoke these words, Wang Jian pulled Su Xian into his arms and hugged her rather lovingly.

Kang Huian's eyes nearly fell out of her eyeballs as she noticed that Su Xian wasn't even resisting his hug that much. It only seemed as if she was embarrassed rather than disgusted.

"My dear maid wanted to ask you if Lin Feng really married you," Wang Jian spoke.

Kang Huian clenched her fists as she recalled that Wang Jian had made her break her marriage contract with Lin Feng just a day earlier.

"…Yes. We were happily married!" Kang Huian responded boldly.

Those words were the final hammer to the coffin.

Wang Jian internally smiled. Meanwhile, Su Xian, who had anticipated this answer, couldn't help but be shaken.

He gazed at her reaction, and it was remarkable. She seemed disappointed yet livid.

'She shouldn't need any more motivation than this, right?'

"Get some more rest. I will begin your detoxification procedure soon," Wang Jian spoke as he led Su Xian outside the infirmary.

Kang Huian was left in infirmary, entirely puzzled by the scenario.

~~

After leaving the infirmary, Wang Jian faced Su Xian and spoke, "This should be enough confirmation for you, right? After I took you away, Lin Feng did marry three other women. His feelings for you weren't as deep as you had imagined. Just think, if he can accept other woman to replace your presence, can't you do the same?"

His words struck Su Xian's heart, and she was honestly very puzzled at this moment. She felt as if something was wrong but couldn't exactly place her finger on it.

Wang Jian knew that now was the time to strike while the iron was hot. He added, "If you think deeply, you will realize that I am better than Lin Feng in almost every way. I am much stronger. I have a royal status as the Seventh Prince of the Everlasting Mystical Empire. You will gain the status of a Noble Concubine after marrying me. Moreover, your family's status and conditions will greatly improve. Think of your happiness, your loved one's happiness."

"C-Can I take some time to think about it?" Su Xian asked.

Wang Jian instantly responded, "No. This is your final opportunity. If you don't make up your mind now, I will consider this as rejection. You will remain my maid forever, losing the chance to ever rise in status."

"So, tell me now. Are you ready to take the leap towards true happiness, or do you wish to continue drowning in the depths of despair?! The decision is yours but choose wisely," Wang Jian finished speaking.

There was a confident smile on his face as he awaited her answer. There really wasn't much to think as this was a heaven-sent opportunity for her.

This would change her status, wealth, protection, and even happiness. In fact, even her family would receive some benefits.

Although Su Xian's feelings for Lin Feng weren't strong enough that she would die for him, she never would have thought of marrying Wang Jian, who was their enemy. However, this changed when Wang Jian painted a completely different image of Lin Feng in her mind.

In Su Xian's mind, Lin Feng had been transformed into a playboy who didn't even care about losing her and was enjoying his life with his wives in the forest.

Sure enough, Su Xian's rosy lips parted as she murmured, "…Yes. I…I agree to this proposal."

The confident smile on Wang Jian's face widened as he had anticipated this answer.

He suggested, "Let's seal the deal with a kiss."

As Wang Jian made the suggestion, a rosy blush crept up Su Xian's cheeks, betraying her thoughts. Her heart was beating faster as she gazed at Wang Jian, and a mix of excitement and nervousness began to fill her mind.

Without saying a word, Su Xian slowly approached Wang Jian, her body trembling slightly with anticipation. She could feel the warmth emanating from his body, and as she got closer, she stood on her tiptoes to reach his lips.

Their lips met, and for a moment, time stood still as they savored the sensation. The kiss was tender at first but quickly became more passionate, and Su Xian wrapped her arms around Wang Jian, pulling him in closer.

As they parted, Su Xian's eyes met Wang Jian's, and she could see the desire burning in them. It was clear to her that he wanted her, and the feeling was mutual. With a nod of her head, she silently conveyed her agreement to Wang Jian's suggestion, and they both knew that they were about to embark on a journey that would change their lives forever.

At this moment, Wang Jian heard multiple notifications from the system, but he ignored them and kissed Su Xian again.

He felt that since Su Xian had willingly agreed to a relationship with him, the world essence couldn't really harm him.

"Return to your room while I go and treat Kang Huian of her poison," Wang Jian stated.

Su Xian slowly nodded. She was about to walk away when Wang Jian suddenly added, "You can change out of these clothes. Ask the servants to bring you a change of clothing."

"…Alright," Su Xian nodded. These words greatly delighted her as this meant her status in the mansion had changed from a maid to a mistress.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

After Su Xian was gone, Wang Jian decided to check out the notifications of the system.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully coerced Heroine Su Xian to fall in love with you. You gain 3000 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have taken Heroine Su Xian's first kiss. You gain 5000 Destiny Points.]

[From now on, the Host does not need to fear the retaliation of the World's Essence to do anything with Su Xian. Naturally, this includes only if Heroine Su Xian continues to like the Host. If she suddenly starts hating the Host, the previous condition will apply.]

Wang Jian understood the meaning of the system by the previous condition. It implied that World Essence would retaliate against him if he did anything inappropriate to Su Xian while his luck was below Lin Feng. However, this brought a smile to his face as this also implied he didn't need to fear anything once his luck surpassed Lin Feng's.

]

Wang Jian clicked his tongue as he noticed that he was very close to possessing 10,000 Destiny Points. He just needed five hundred more points.

Fortunately, he had another source of Destiny Points.

Kang Huian.

Before entering the infirmary, Wang Jian made a purchase from the system, exchanging 1000 Destiny Points for a skill that was considered common among those of his rank. Even a governor of a city in the Mystical Everlasting Empire could easily afford it.

The skill, which Wang Jian acquired, was named the "Great Meridian Awakening Technique", renowned for its ability to awaken one's inner energy and unleash a person's hidden potential.

He headed into the infirmary and gazed at the beauty lying on the bed.

"Now then, let's start our treatment," Wang Jian asserted.

"The first step would be to remove all obstructions over the Celestial Elixir Pathway and the Heavenly Gate Channel," He asserted.

"What are these?" Kang Huian asked instinctively.

Wang Jian responded nonchalantly, "The meridian points on your chest that manage the flow of energy within your body."

Kang Huian quickly grasped the intention behind Wang Jian's unpleasant remarks and displayed a disgusted and appalled expression.

This man was telling her to remove her robe and reveal her upper body to him.

"Y-You?! What are you saying?! I will never remove my clothes. If I have to die, so be it!" Kang Huian spoke valiantly.

Wang Jian shook his head in disappointment, "And here I was hoping the process would go smoothly."

He suddenly called out, "Maids!"

Two maids pushed open the doors to the infirmary, their long robes swishing as they walked in. They bowed deeply to Wang Jian, who was standing beside the bed, then stood up straight, waiting for his command.

"What is your command, Your Highness?" A maid asked meekly.

Wang Jian looked up and greeted the maids, "Strip this disobedient patient. Also, bring a strip of black fabric to cover my eyes."

"…I won't be polite if you dare to approach me," Kang Huian saw this entire situation developing in the worst possible direction.

Her threat seemed to infuriate Wang Jian, and he instantly flared his Qi. His Qi was entirely focused on Kang Huian and suppressed her to a great extent.

Kang Huian was unable to sense her own Qi due to the overwhelming level of Wang Jian's aura. It dawned on her that Wang Jian's power was far beyond that of a Spirit Realm cultivator. Her pupils slowly widened in terror as she realized that he must have advanced to the Origin Realm.

"Y-You are an Origin Realm cultivator?!" She cried out in shock.

Wang Jian ignored her as the maid tied the strip of black fabric around his eyes.

His voice was calm and firm as he spoke, "This is the best I can offer. If you still choose death over a cure, I won't stop you. But if that's your decision, know that I will be the one to end your life."

Kang Huian calmed down slightly upon noticing the pitch-black strip over his eyes. She couldn't help but inquire, "Y-You really can't see through it?"

"You can check if you are so suspicious of me," Wang Jian spoke calmly, showing no signs of deceit.

Kang Huian felt a bit compelled to believe him at this point.

Well, she was fooled by his acting. The dark fabric was naturally see-through. Wang Jian was prepared for this situation and had ordered his servants for something like this ever since Kang Fu brought his daughter here.

"Consider your father and your clan's efforts. They have already paid a great price to cure you, but you are being foolish and wasting their efforts. Also, it's not as if you are losing your purity," Wang Jian spoke calmly as he normalized the situation.

His words worked as Kang Huian felt a tinge of guilt upon thinking of her father and her clan.

Her father had even sent all the techniques that the tribe had collected in their history to Wang Jian.

This was a huge deal as, in this world, the core techniques defined a clan. If a core technique of a clan were leaked, their strengths and weakness would be broadcasted. That would be a significant blow to their clan.

Their enemies could also cultivate using their techniques and bring calm to the clan.

"…I…agree…" Kang Huian spoke while gnashing her teeth in anger.

"Alright, strip her," Wang Jian ordered the maids.

The maids got to work, and very soon, Kang Huian was seated on the bed displaying her milky white skin and two massive peaks with stiff cherry nipples.

"Alright. Leave us," Wang Jian ordered.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The maids naturally followed his orders and left the room. They closed the room after leaving, and Wang Jian stepped forward.

He stretched his hands forward while trying to walk forward. Very soon, his hands touched Kang Huian's body.

After touching her, it was very easy for Wang Jian's hands to navigate their way to her chest and onto the meridian points that he had stated earlier.

Celestial Elixir Pathway and the Heavenly Gate Channel. These meridian points are located on her nipples.

While his hands stroked her nipples, Kang Huian made a seductive sound of pleasure. It seems like; for a split second, she forgot that the ambiguous touch was coming from her husband's adversary.

The sound of Kang Huian's alluring moan caused a smirk to form on Wang Jian's face.

"…Why does your voice sound so wretched? I haven't even done anything yet," Wang Jian spoke with a vile grin.

As Kang Huian opened her mouth in retaliation to his words, Wang Jian pinched her tits strongly and even pulled them.

"Y-you bast-Aaahhh...!" She suddenly let out a string of squeals of delight.

"Man, you really know how to test a man's endurance. How can a man do nothing after hearing such erotic moans? You really need to thank me for being a gentleman or else…Hehehe…" His loathsome laugh seemed to make this feel even more humiliating for Kang Huian.

Wang Jian though remained careful and didn't fondle her entire boob. He had received multiple warnings from the system by now.

[Warning, Host! Your inappropriate behaviour is near the limit of the World Essence.]

This was the warning Wang Jian received when his fingers stroked Kang Huian's tits. However, Wang Jian received another warning notification as he pinched her nipples strongly.

[Warning, Host! Your inappropriate behaviour is right on the limit of the World Essence. Heavenly Lightning might strike you any time.]

Wang Jian's excitement at the stunning scenario was palpable, yet he exercised restraint and managed to regain his composure.

His hold over her tits softened drastically as he whispered, "You are free to curse me if you want that to occur again."

Kang Huian was left trembling by Wang Jian's gentle words. It was a surreal experience for her to feel terror and frustration at the same time. How could someone who spoke so softly evoke such intense emotions? But what was worse was her complete powerlessness. She was at the mercy of Wang Jian's whims, unable to retaliate or escape. It was a humbling realization, one that left her feeling exposed and vulnerable.

It was the first time someone had humiliated her so greatly.

"…What the hell are you waiting for? Aren't you supposed to heal me?! It's the only damn reason I agreed to this method," Kang Huian spoke through gritted teeth, her frustration palpable.

It wasn't that she had any trouble breathing, but she took deep breaths to calm herself down, not wanting to lash out at Wang Jian in a fit of rage.

"Patience is key, my dear. These meridian points are delicate and unique, and rushing the process could bring undesirable consequences. After all, I don't want to do more harm than good. So, let me savour this experience a bit longer, and rest assured that you will be treated... eventually," Wang Jian replied with a sly smirk, his words dripping with a hint of amusement.

Kang Huian wanted to cry out that she would rather die than continue experiencing this humiliating sensation.

Wang Jian found her reactions absolutely riveting. The way she writhed and squirmed in discomfort was like music to his ears, a true delight for his sadistic nature.

However, he was aware that she was teetering on the brink of her endurance. Her face had turned crimson with a combination of rage and mortification, and it was clear that any further provocation from him might cause her to fall unconscious.

That wouldn't be ideal. It would be impossible for him to receive Destiny Points from her if she fell unconscious.

Wang Jian activated the powerful Great Meridian Awakening Skill and deftly manipulated the Qi coursing through Kang Huian's body, using it to soothe her agitated emotions. He spent some time carefully guiding the Qi, allowing her to fully absorb its calming effects before injecting her with his own potent Qi.

As Wang Jian's Qi flowed through the meridian points on her chest, Kang Huian was suddenly overcome by an indescribable sensation. Her body twitched involuntarily as she felt his energy surging through her veins, suffusing her blood with an otherworldly force.

The veins near Kang Huian's heart were suffocated by Wang Jian's Qi, which forcefully propelled a certain substance into her bloodstream and pushed it towards her arm's blood vessels.

As the foreign substance reached her arms, a sudden jolt of Wang Jian's Qi tore Kang Huian's vein while also leaving a slight tear on her skin.

Instantly, Kang Huian's attention was drawn towards her left arm, where the skin had been torn. She couldn't believe her eyes as she watched black liquid seeping out along with her own blood.

'H-he really can treat this Devil Venom!' This thought appeared in Kang Huian's mind instinctively.

The Devil Venom was infamous for its unparalleled toxicity and the absence of any known antidote or remedy. Kang Huian, resigned to her fate to some extent, braced herself for the worst.

She wouldn't have been astonished if Wang Jian had failed to cure her, half-believing that he was using this as an opportunity to extort her for his own gain.

Yet, in spite of this, Kang Huian and her father clung to a glimmer of hope, however faint, that a miracle might come to pass.

She glared at Wang Jian with clenched teeth, seething with anger as she grudgingly acknowledged to herself, '...He may be a debauched and despicable scoundrel who deserves the most excruciating tortures before meeting his demise, but there's no denying the authenticity of his ability.'

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian keenly observed her stunned countenance before remarking, "What you see leaking from your arm is only a minuscule fraction of the Devil Venom residing within you. I'm afraid the healing process will require several more sessions and significant effort."

Kang Huian instantly returned to reality as she heard his remarks but felt that it made sense. The Devil Venom could duplicate within her blood and must have replicated itself to a great degree.

However, the amount of Devil Venom that had been squeezed out of her blood was a significant quantity. Kang Huian was sure that it should take Wang Jian only a few days before getting rid of this Devil Venom completely.

Wang Jian suddenly released Kang Huian's nipples.

"Why did you stop?" Kang Huian couldn't help but cry out impulsively.

She had even begun to envision a future where she would be free of this poison and return to her family. In fact, her mind was already thinking of ways she could explain herself to her family and Lin Feng.

However, Wang Jian had also noticed her countenance and an evil scheme appeared in his head.

"You want me to grab them again?" Wang Jian asked with an ambiguous wording.

His words made Kang Huian realize just what he was doing a bit earlier. However, she swallowed her anger and responded, "…I-I want you to treat me."

"I will treat you. However, I have neither the time nor motivation to administer this method more than once a day," Wang Jian asserted.

"W-What do you mean?! It will take months if not years then," Kang Huian responded indignantly.

"Not that it really matters to me. I promised you and your father that I would cure you. The duration of this treatment is the least of my concerns," Wang Jian responded coldly.

"T-This…" Kang Huian was left speechless by his words.

"We will meet tomorrow at the same time," Wang Jian spoke before turning around to leave the infirmary.

"…P-please don't do this to me. Please cure me quickly," Kang Huian begged with a distressed countenance.

Wang Jian came to a halt and turned.

"Since you are begging me so modestly, I will pity you. Now, I will give you a hint. You just need to increase motivate me so that I can be tempted to spend more time in this treatment," Wang Jian spoke.

"How?" Kang Huian asked while fearing the answer.

"I wasn't planning to, but since you asked so nicely, I will give you another hint. To acquire something, you must be ready to sacrifice something," Wang Jian responded.

Wang Jian soon left the infirmary and headed towards Su Xian. He seemed to be in a rush as he was truly at his limit.

Even Wang Jian was feeling it impossible to control his lust. He felt that if he didn't let it out anytime soon, he will explode.

He could use a maid and release it inside her. This was always an option to Wang Jian.

However, the presence of these heroines certainly transformed his standards. They were far more beautiful compared to the maids in his mansion and doing it with them would certainly feel more exciting.

The maids feared and respected Wang Jian to a disturbing degree. Thus, he chose Su Xian as this night's target.

(A/N: Sorry buddies, can't release a complete erotic chapter on this platform just yet. Need to get a contract. You should understand my situation a bit. I will need a contract to write novels more seriously. I hope you don't mind. I will definitely write the chapter in my free time and put it on my discord.)

~~

Following a wild night of passionate encounters, Wang Jian was resting on the bed with Su Xian curled up in his arms. The night had been intense. Both of them were still nude as they were passionately embracing one another.

Su Xian slowly opened her eyes, the sunlight filtering through the window making her squint. She lay there for a moment, still half-asleep, before she began to stir. As she shifted on the bed, the sound of the rustling sheets caught Wang Jian's attention, and he slowly opened his eyes too.

He smirked when he saw Su Xian stirring, her hair tousled and her eyes half-closed. He couldn't resist teasing her a bit. "Good morning, my little lamb," he said, his voice dripping with amusement.

Su Xian jolted at the sound of Wang Jian's voice, her eyes widening in surprise. She quickly sat up, her cheeks flushing in embarrassment at being caught in such a vulnerable state.

"…I-I will get in the tub and take a bath," Su Xian stuttered while getting out of the bed quickly.

She wobbled as soon as she was on her feet and fell. Her ass was facing Wang Jian, giving him a nice view of that bubbly flesh that bounced just nicely. Both her buttocks were completely red with finger marks clearly noticeable.

In fact, now that Wang Jian stared closely, he noticed that her left side buttock seemed to have a more intense shade as compared to the right side.

Wang Jian couldn't enjoy this sight for long as Su Xian mustered her strength and rushed into the bathroom.

While Su Xian was gone, he checked out the notifications of the system.

[Congratulations, Host. You successfully fooled around with Heroine Kang Huian's body while testing the World Essence to its limits. You receive 5000 Destiny Points and a bonus of 5,000 Destiny Points.]

"Bonus points? That's fascinating. This indicates that if I take enormous risks, I can get a lot of points. This system is undoubtedly compelling me to test the World's Essence more and more now," Wang Jian licked his lips in anticipation as he remembered Kang Huian's luscious figure.

Furthermore, it was her hate that was made things far more exciting for Wang Jian. her hatred towards Wang Jian was far more intense than Su Xian's.

Wang Jian undoubtedly had a plethora of schemes up his sleeve that would have had Kang Huian completely corrupted and falling for him in no time, but he had no intention of putting any of them into action.

He had a feeling that things would be much more entertaining for him if he allowed her to hate him.

Naturally, this wasn't the only notification he received from Kang Huian.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

He received another notification that gave him another 10,000 Points for successfully committing such a daring act of messing with Kang Huian's body without incurring the World Essence's retaliation.

There was one more notification that stated the following message.

[Congratulations, Host. You have utterly obliterated Heroine Kang Huian's hopes. You receive 2000 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have forced Heroine Kang Huian to think of some shameless matters. You receive 1500 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. The Heroine Kang Huian kept on thinking of you while failing to sleep the previous night. You receive 1000 Destiny Points.]

Once he was done reading notifications regarding Kang Huian, Wang Jian read notifications that resulted from Su Xian.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully taken the virginity of Heroine Su Xian. For this momentous act, you shall receive 20,000 Destiny Points and a bonus in the form of Divine Shielding Iron Body.]

"What is Divine Shielding Iron Body? Give me a basic description of it," Wang Jian spoke.

[This cultivation technique will focus on strengthening the body's muscles and bones to an unprecedented level, making them as hard as iron. By continuously practicing this technique, your body will become impervious to most physical attacks and will withstand even the strongest blows. The technique also allows the warrior to channel your inner energy into the body to form a protective shield that can block attacks, making it virtually indestructible.]

"Great. I will cultivate it," Wang Jian instantly commanded.

Very soon, he felt a subtle but noticeable change in his body. His muscles and bones felt denser and more compact, like iron being forged in a fire. He could also sense faint energy emanating from within, a shield-like aura that seemed to surround him.

As he flexed his arms, he felt a surge of power coursing through his meridians, and he knew that he had taken the first step towards true invincibility. His skin also felt tougher and more resilient, and he had no doubt that even the sharpest blade would find it difficult to pierce his defences.

However, these weren't all the notifications he received from Su Xian.

[Congratulations, Host. You came inside Heroine Su Xian. You receive 10,000 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You successfully made Heroine Su Xian significantly fall for sexual pleasure. You receive 5,000 Destiny Points.]

…

There were ten more notifications with the final one providing him 1,500 Destiny Points.

Wang Jian's cultivation had increased by two levels as

"Give me the first level of True Eyes Technique," Wang Jian ordered the system.

Instantly, ten thousand points were deducted, and the system provided him with the True Eyes Skill.

'Compare Lin Feng's luck with mine,' Wang Jian mentally commanded.

Instantly, a small screen appeared ahead of his eyes that stated the following information.

[

Host: 1637

Lin Feng: 3779 (Rising)

]

Wang Jian raised his brows in amazement as he realized that he hadn't bridged the gap as much as he expected, even after taking Su Xian's virginity.

'Upgrade Soaring Dragon Technique to level three.'

After upgrading the Soaring Dragon Technique to level three, Wang Jian instantly felt a foreign wave of energy wash over him.

Information about a completely new technique appeared in his mind. This technique is known as Spiritual Sensitivity. This technique allows the host to become more sensitive to spiritual energy, allowing him to detect and identify different types of energy with greater ease. This also includes increased ability to manipulate spiritual energy.

'How many Destiny Points do I require to upgrade my spirit?'

[Host must use 10,000 Destiny Points to upgrade his spirit to Six Star Spirit.]

"Do it."

Wang Jian suddenly felt a stirring in his sea of dantian. A surge of energy coursed through his body, and he was momentarily stunned as he felt a presence within him.

Slowly, he began to focus his attention on the sea of dantian within him, and his eyes widened in amazement. The Two-Headed Dark Flame Viper Spirit that had been residing within him was undergoing a remarkable transformation.

Its body shone with a bright light as it became larger and more imposing in his mind's eye.

After ten minutes passed, the body of this creature made itself known. It was a Twin Headed Dark Flame Python Spirit. The colour of its body was the same as its predecessor, but with a much darker shade.

As he continued to concentrate, Wang Jian felt a new surge of power coursing through his veins. The Twin Headed Dark Flame Python Spirit seemed to be resonating with his own energy, and he could feel its strength and vitality infusing his body.

"Now, upgrade my cultivation to the Lord Rank," Wang Jian commanded.

[This task requires 16000 Destiny Points.]

"Obviously, you have to use them," Wang Jian rolled his eyes upon hearing the system's words.

Wang Jian's cultivation energy skyrocketed instantly as he experienced that strange energy fusing with his dantian.

After reaching Lord Rank, Wang Jian suddenly felt his blood stirring up somewhat strangely.

This continued for half an hour before Wang Jian slowly realized the reason. His Devil Blood had awakened!

The name of his Devil Blood is the Blue Moon Devil Blood! This bloodline belonged to a rather powerful Devil Clan in purgatory known as the Blue Moon Eclipse Dominion.

Wang Jian utilized the system to check out the details of this bloodline.

He received significant benefits after unlocking this bloodline. Firstly, it heightened his senses, allowing him to see, hear, and smell better than any human. Secondly, it provided him with incredible regenerative abilities, allowing him to heal quickly. Thirdly, his strength was significantly boosted, allowing him to easily overcome the humans, focusing completely on their physique.

However, these were just the basic skills that all devils possessed.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

As an heir of the Blue Moon Eclipse Dominion, Wang Jian gained the power to utilize a completely new attribute known as the Moon Attribute.

And this Moon Attribute possessed multiple skills, and among them, Wang Jian unlocked the Moonrise Fist, Lunar Shield, and Shadow Step.

Moonrise Fist: A powerful punching technique that channels lunar energy into the user's fists, greatly increasing their strength and allowing them to shatter solid objects with ease.

Lunar Shield: A defensive technique that creates a shield made of pure lunar energy. It is highly effective against physical attacks and can even deflect some types of energy-based attacks.

Moonshadow Step: Moonshadow Step is a technique that allows the user to move quickly and silently in the shadows, just like the soft steps of a person. When the user activates this technique, they become invisible in the dark and their movement becomes fluid and almost effortless, allowing them to avoid detection and move with great agility. As the name suggests, Moonshadow Step draws its power from the moon and its shadows, and those who master this technique are said to be able to harness the moon's energy to enhance their movements and senses. Even in the darkest of nights, the user of Moonshadow Step can see and move as if it was broad daylight.

Naturally, unlocking this devil bloodline had its disadvantages as well.

The first disadvantage was the susceptibility to the Holy Attribute. Wang Jian's body would receive three times more damage to those attacks with holy attributes.

The second disadvantage was the sensitivity to sunlight. As the Blue Moon Eclipse Dominion is so closely linked to the moon, it can also be weakened by the influence of the sun. Thus, its abilities are less effective during the day, with the power ranging according to the sun's position and intensity.

The third disadvantage was that the devils have high emotional instability causing them to fall into earthly pleasures, such as wealth, power, and lust.

Wang Jian read the descriptions of all his abilities and frowned upon reading their disadvantages.

He was slightly worried upon reading the third demerit. It might influence him and ruin his plans.

"Is there a skill that can completely negate the third disadvantage of this Devil Bloodline?" Wang Jian asked.

[Tranquil Mind Divine Mantra has two kinds of effects. One is active, while the other is passive. If the proficiency of the host in this technique is high enough, you can easily suppress the devil blood's influence in all situations. Meanwhile, by utilizing the active mode, you can always remove any harmful mental status as long as your technique level is superior to the opponent's.]

"…Good. What is the cost of cultivating it?"

[10 Destiny Points for the first level. 100 for the second level. 1000 for the third level and so on…]

Wang Jian instantly spent 11110 to reach the fifth level of this technique.

After finalizing a few more matters, Wang Jian checked his status again.

"…Okay, this should be good enough for now. I should keep the rest of the Destiny Points for any unexpected incident in the future," Wang Jian mused to himself.

He felt that utilizing these points merely to increase his cultivation from the first level of Lord Realm to the fifth level would certainly be wasteful.

By this time, Su Xian was done bathing and returned to his room in nothing but a white towel.

"…Aren't you tempting me a little too much with that sight, my dear?" Wang Jian inquired with a teasing smile.

This scenario is certainly tempting as her body is still glistening with water droplets that have yet to dry. She is draped in a soft, fluffy white towel that covers her torso, reaching just above her knees. The towel clings to her curves, accentuating her feminine form as it outlines the contours of her body. The heat from the bath has tinted her cheeks a light pink, and her hair is still damp and slightly dishevelled, falling in loose waves around her face.

Su Xian's bare shoulders and arms are exposed, revealing smooth and toned skin that seems to glow in the soft light of the room. As she moves, the towel slips slightly, revealing a hint of her collarbone and the curve of her chest. Her movements are fluid and graceful, giving off an air of sensuality that is both alluring and innocent at the same time.

Overall, Su Xian's appearance is one of natural beauty and understated elegance, with a hint of vulnerability that makes her all the more captivating.

Her face reddened upon hearing that question. However, this was due to pure embarrassment rather than anger or disgust.

She simply gestured towards the torn pieces of fabric that were scattered on the floor next to the bed.

Upon noticing those pieces of fabric, Wang Jian was completely speechless. He responded after a few minutes, "…I will order a maid to bring a dress for you. Consider it as my first gift."

Su Xian rolled her eyes and spat out, "And what of the dress that you tore apart the previous night? Should I consider that a punishment?"

Wang Jian seemed happy as he heard her response, "You are indeed guilty of seducing me and then taking so much time to remove those clothes. I just used a quicker option."

After a couple of minutes, he called out for a maid by enhancing his voice with Qi.

The maids stationed outside the hall were alerted by Wang Jian's sudden cry and promptly entered the chamber. Upon arrival, they beheld Wang Jian seated on the bed, draped in a pristine bedsheet, while Su Xian had absconded to the cloakroom and was nowhere to be seen.

"Get those three dresses I got for Su Xian," Wang Jian ordered them.

"As you command, your highness," the maids responded calmly.

One of them further inquired, "Should I help you dress up, your highness?"

"I already have someone in mind for that. You can leave. Just get me the dresses quickly." He asserted.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

As Su Xian stood in the cloakroom, she was startled to hear Wang Jian's words. She had never expected him to buy dresses for her, and she couldn't help but feel touched by his gesture. A warm feeling spread through her heart as she gazed at his handsome face, peeking through the gate with a sense of admiration.

It wasn't the gifts that charmed her, but the realization that Wang Jian cared for her deeply, and that he would go out of his way to make her happy.

For the first time, Su Xian felt truly cherished, and she couldn't wait to try on the new dresses and show them off to Wang Jian.

Very soon, the maids returned with three beautiful dresses for Su Xian in their hands. These dresses were tailored according to her size.

The first dress is a flowing white cotton dress that reaches her ankles. The dress has a fitted bodice and a loose skirt that flares out from the waist. The neckline is decorated with delicate embroidery in pastel colours, giving the dress a subtle yet elegant touch. The dress has short, loose sleeves and a thin belt at the waist that cinches into the dress to create a flattering silhouette. This seemed perfect to be worn casually.

The second dress is a stunning ball gown made of deep red velvet with a fitted bodice and a full, sweeping skirt. The sleeves are long and flowing, made of sheer silk chiffon, and embroidered with intricate silver threads. The gown is finished with a glittering silver necklace and matching earrings, which shimmer in the candlelight. This dress seemed perfect for a formal meeting.

The third dress is a breathtaking masterpiece of delicate lace and pale pink silk. The bodice has a sweetheart neckline, and the skirt falls in soft, cascading layers to the ground. The lace sleeves are adorned with delicate pink rosebuds, and the gown is finished with a simple pink ribbon tied around Su Xian's waist. The dress is perfect for a romantic evening or a stroll in the garden on a sunny day.

After the maids left, Su Xian emerged from the cloakroom, and she approached Wang Jian.

"Y-you got them for me?" Su Xian inquired while gazing into his eyes.

"Naturally. Don't forget that your status has changed. You are now my concubine and deserve to wear the most beautiful dresses," Wang Jian spoke solemnly.

Soon, a teasing smile appeared on his face as he added, "…Though I would rather see you without these dresses."

"Y-you really are a rascal!" Su Xian averted her eyes as her cheeks reddened. However, she was feeling gleeful as she continued to gaze at these dresses.

"Let me try them on," she excitedly said.

"Sure, sure," Wang Jian responded dryly.

~~

With Su Xian constantly at his side, Wang Jian's day continued in a very routine fashion. Her demeanour was so adorable that not even Wang Jian could resist the need to dote on her.

Hey, it wasn't like he'd suddenly abandoned his nefarious ways; he simply enjoyed kicking back and having a good time now and again.

In the meantime, something fascinating happened amidst the conflict between the Miracle Angel Tribe and the Crimson Mammoth Clan.

The Miracle Angel Tribe members spread some baits in Crimson Mammoth Clan's area that attracted many ferocious beasts from the Mellow Magnolia Woods.

In reality, the source of these baits were heavenly herbs that the Miracle Angel Tribe used to heal injuries. They would ensure that these herbs are stored in an airtight bottle or preserved in a powerful barrier.

However, to deal with the Crimson Mammoth Clan, Han Lei decided to utilize these heavenly herbs.

The Crimson Mammoth Clan, however, was no pushover. Even after three waves of the beast raid, they preserved and slaughtered all the beasts that appeared.

There were many casualties in the Crimson Mammoth Clan, which caused Kang Fu to worry greatly.

He had a feeling that this beast raid was the work of the Miracle Angel Tribe.

Just as he was lost in worry, he received a secret letter from Fen Gen. It stated the following wording.

"You will be a sitting duck if you remain in your position. Relocate from your current location to the one marked on the map."

Despite the Miracle Angel Tribe's scouts' best efforts, they were unable to track the movements of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors after their intense battle against the ferocious beasts of the jungle.

The warriors seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of their whereabouts. It was not surprising, as their ultimate destination was an underground location that lay just a few miles from their original base.

The Crimson Mammoth Clan members were licking their wounds as hatred for the Miracle Angel Tribe intensified in their hearts.

Realizing that their chances of victory were slim in their current situation, Kang Fu engaged in a lengthy discussion with his comrades to devise a strategic plan.

Utilizing the Crimson Mammoth Clan's resources, Kang Fu divided the herbs they possessed, which could effectively conceal their presence from both beasts and humans, into seven parts.

Six of these portions were then distributed among six separate teams, each led by a formidable warrior from the Crimson Mammoth Clan.

These teams were comprised of the strongest members of the clan, and their primary objective was to locate the Miracle Angel Tribe's scouts and their base.

With this elaborate strategy in place, Kang Fu and his comrades set out to turn the tide of the battle in their favour.

The six teams left the underground base with bloodshot eyes. They planned to make the Miracle Angel Tribe pay!

In the dark night, two teams of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors managed to capture three scouts belonging to the enemy.

After capturing these scouts, the warriors began to torture them to find their base location.

The members of the Miracle Angel Tribe were well aware that disclosing the location of their base would result in a perilous direct confrontation with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors. Such a prospect would inevitably lead to disastrous consequences for their comrades.

Thus, they persisted through agonizing torments that even the bravest men would weep at, with their eyes bleeding as a testament to their suffering.

After killing these scouts, the Crimson Mammoth Warriors roamed around in the forest, searching for clues regarding the Miracle Angel Tribe's base.

Fen Gen sent a report to Wang Jian that gave him a comprehensive overview of the battle.

Upon holding that report, another evil idea appeared in his mind. However, he controlled himself and thought, 'It will be too soon to apply it now. I should wait a bit.'

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Su Xian approached Wang Jian with a curious expression and inquired, "What are you reading?"

Wang Jian lifted his head from the report and replied, "...It's a report on the recent battle between the three tribes. I am contemplating the possibility of using this opportunity to assert complete control over them."

Su Xian's face lit up with genuine admiration as she exclaimed, "Wow, that's incredible!"

"Hmm," Wang Jian grunted.

Observing the sky outside the window, he realized that the sun had already set and dusk had arrived. This indicated that it was time for him to administer treatment to Kang Huian.

"Why don't you return to your room? I will visit you soon," Wang Jian spoke.

A slight frown appeared on Su Xian's face as she inquired, "You are going to meet that woman?"

"Yes. I did promise her father that I would treat her," Wang Jian responded.

"…Do you like her?" Su Xian suddenly asked.

Realizing what this was about, Wang Jian smirked as he replied, "So, this is what it is about. You are jealous."

"…No. I just want to know your thoughts," Su Xian bashfully remarked.

Wang Jian rolled his eyes and dryly spoke, "Well, she certainly is a beauty that can tempt any man."

He noticed a slightly terrified look appear in Su Xian's eyes as he added, "…I will be sure to resist those temptations, so be prepared for tonight."

"…Yes," Su Xian murmured as she quickly headed outside the hall.

Wang Jian's eyebrows arched in surprise as he realized Su Xian was hurrying in the opposite direction of her chambers.

"Well, I guess I will deal with her later," Wang Jian whispered as a depraved grin slowly made its way to his face.

Wang Jian headed towards the infirmary where Kang Huian was resting.

Kang Huian waited anxiously with her mind consumed by worry. Had he forgotten about her? Was he deliberately making her wait for his own amusement? Or was it simply that he had no time to administer her treatment today? With each passing moment, the fear of her recovery being delayed grew inside her, threatening to consume her entirely.

As soon as the doors to the infirmary swung open, Kang Huian's eyes locked onto the sight of the charming man standing before her. Her anxious heart involuntarily exhaled a sigh of relief.

'He is finally here,' Kang Huian thought.

Along with Wang Jian entered two maids from yesterday. One carried a black strip, while the other was empty-handed.

With a flushed face, Kang Huian mustered her courage and spoke the words, "There is no need for maids today."

Wang Jian showed a surprised countenance and spoke, "The treatment will require the same process."

"…I understand. But still, there is really no need of maids today," Kang Huian spoke.

Wang Jian actually understood what she meant the first time he heard it. He was just acting oblivious to make her say it with her mouth.

The maids caught the underlying message and fixed their gaze upon Wang Jian, awaiting his command.

"What are you doing here? Leave us," Wang Jian ordered.

The maids immediately left the infirmary and shut the doors.

Once they were gone, Wang Jian gazed at the beauty ahead of him and spoke, "So, you are going to tie this black strip?"

Rather than answering Wang Jian verbally, Kang Huian chose to respond by removing her top.

Her snow-white skin, along with those two globes of flesh, was visible to Wang Jian's eyes.

Kang Huian's blood boiled with fury as she saw Wang Jian's lecherous gaze fixated on her chest, his lips curving into a wicked grin. The way he looked at her made her feel dirty and violated. She couldn't bear the thought of being touched by such an immoral man.

"Yesterday, you mentioned lacking the motivation to treat me. Perhaps this will provide the motivation you need. Please, just treat me quickly," Kang Huian said, her voice soft and slightly pleading.

Wang Jian continued to ogle those breasts while speaking, "This is indeed a good method to motivate me. I guess I can stay a bit longer today."

He soon sat on the chair next to Kang Huian's bed.

Before doing anything, he asked, "Shall we get started?"

"Yes," Kang Huian's response was short and curt.

As soon as he heard this response, Wang Jian raised his arms and grasped her pair of nipples.

On this day, much like the previous one, Wang Jian showed no sense of urgency to treat Kang Huian. Instead, he took pleasure in caressing her nipples, eliciting involuntary and humiliating moans from her.

Despite feeling angry, Kang Huian refrained from speaking up as she had spent the entire night pondering over her situation.

She realized that her top priority was to get healed as soon as possible. At that moment, she remembered Wang Jian's final hint to her - that to acquire something, one had to lose something in return. She realized that, in this case, to heal quickly, she had to cheapen herself with her body.

She closed her eyes and focused on enduring his touch while silently praying that he would treat her quickly.

Wang Jian noticed Kang Huian gritting her teeth in anger, and he relished the sight of her fighting to keep her composure. He could guess what was going through her mind, but he decided to prolong her discomfort by taking more time playing with her nipples. He squeezed them, stroked them, pressed them, and even pulled them, eliciting pleasurable yet embarrassing responses from Kang Huian.

Wang Jian continued this tantalizing torment for what felt like an eternity, mentally congratulating Kang Huian on her impressive willpower. Eventually, he decided to reward her patience.

"…Let's begin your treatment," Wang Jian spoke nonchalantly.

Kang Huian unconsciously clenched her fists upon hearing his words, realizing that he had just been toying with her all along.

Similar to the way he did before, Wang Jian controlled the Qi within her body to give her a soul-numbing pleasure and calm her.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Once her Qi was calm, he injected his Qi through the meridian points on her tits.

In a manner similar to the previous day, Wang Jian drew upon his Qi to concentrate some Devil Venom within Kang Huian's veins, which he then expelled by creating a small cut on her arm and vein.

As Kang Huian saw the thick, black liquid slowly oozing out of the cut on her arm, a sense of euphoria washed over her, taking her to new heights of pleasure. It was as if all the pain and suffering she had endured up until that point had been leading up to this moment.

"…Alright. This was the first shift. Time for the second shift you earned," Wang Jian spoke.

As his Qi entered her body, Kang Huian couldn't help but wonder just how many times he was going to apply this treatment to her.

Noticing her curious expression, Wang Jian spoke with a grin, "Your actions earned you just a bit over an extra session. But I am very kind. As this is your first time trying to provide me with motivation, I will reward you for it and give you two extra sessions of treatment."

Kang Huian was taken aback, and her face turned pale upon hearing his words. She had never expected him to be so diabolical and greedy. Despite giving him a free view of her naked body, he was only willing to offer her two extra sessions, which was far below her expectations. She had hoped for a minimum of ten sessions, and this realization left her feeling disappointed and frustrated.

Wang Jian noticed Kang Huian's discontent and responded with a sly smile. "Why are you so unhappy? Don't tell me you're being too greedy," he said mockingly. "As a doctor, it's normal to see his patient's body. So, why are you so worried?" His words dripped with insincerity, making Kang Huian feel angry.

"I have refrained from any inappropriate physical contact with your body except for accessing the meridian points located on your breasts. This direct contact is essential for me to administer the required treatment," Wang Jian explained, his tone conveying a sense of seriousness.

Kang Huian scowled upon hearing that explanation. She thought, 'If your intentions were all so pure, you would have tried your best to heal me. But no…You are forcing me to persuade you through these shameful methods!'

However, that wasn't all. Wang Jian was callously dismissing her struggles and acting as if he had the right to do whatever he pleased with her, igniting a fiery rage within her.

"…How many sessions will I receive if I allow you to touch my body any way you want?" Kang Huian asked.

Her primary priority was to get ten sessions from Wang Jian today and purge this poison quickly.

"Now that is interesting. That will give you five more sessions. But I have another deal for you. If you strip out of the rest of your clothing, I will give you five more sessions. How about it?" Wang Jian inquired with a cheeky gaze.

Kang Huian mentally cursed him as she heard that deal. This man wasn't satisfied with her naked top and wanted to completely undress her.

However, she didn't immediately reject this deal as she thought more about it.

'I am already half-naked. And knowing this bastard, it probably won't be long before he completely strips me of my clothing. It's better to take advantage of this deal while I still can,' Kang Huian thought.

"…You have a deal," She spoke solemnly.

Those words startled Wang Jian quite a bit. He never expected this woman to agree so quickly. In fact, he thought she would reject him today and accept this deal after a few days.

However, her words proved to be advantageous for him by saving him a few days of time.

Wang Jian taunted, his voice dripping with contempt, "I knew you were easy, but I didn't think you'd give in so quickly. You're such a pushover, Kang Huian. I barely had to lift a finger to make you cave. It's almost pathetic how desperate you are for my help."

"SHUT IT, YOU FUCKING MONSTER!" Kang Huian yelled angrily. Her chest throbbed due to her raging emotions. She wasn't done speaking her mind, though.

"I will tear you apart!"

Wang Jian chuckles darkly, his eyes gleaming with malice, "You are welcome to try. I will even undo the seal on your cultivation base."

Kang Huian moved from her bed and punched Wang Jian. An invisible wall stopped her punch before it could hit him.

"So weak. You can't even touch me, yet you have such lofty ambitions. I truly can never understand the thoughts of you peasants," Wang Jian spoke.

"…Y-You have already mastered control over your realm?!" Kang Huian was utterly shocked. She recalled that even her father required a whole month to exert complete command over his Qi once he advanced to the Origin Realm.

With a disgusted look on his face, Wang Jian sneered, "Hmph. Comparing myself to peasants like you is an insult in itself."

In a haughty tone, he turned around and declared, "Your cultivation base has already been unsealed. You're free to leave, but don't even think about returning to me for treatment if you do."

Kang Huian's countenance transformed into a bewildered one at the sound of his words. Her gaze moved from the top lying on the bed to the window, and a sudden impulse to don the garment and make a daring escape through the window crept into her mind.

However, Wang Jian's final sentence halted her in her tracks.

"You have one night to think about it," he added before leaving the room.

Kang Huian gritted her teeth as she heard those words. She grabbed her garment and wore it before sitting on the bed and thinking deeply about this matter.

After leaving her room, Wang Jian headed straight to Su Xian's room. He wanted to release these pent-up desires somewhere.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Coincidentally, Wang Jian and Kang Huian remained awake for the majority of the night, naturally for different reasons.

Wang Jian remained awake because he was busy plowing Su Xian's pussy. He certainly coloured her entire body with his semen.

Meanwhile, Kang Huian lay awake throughout the night, contemplating her dire circumstances. Her newfound freedom had become a cruel and bitter irony, as she felt more tormented than ever before.

"He is really an evil cunning scoundrel!" Kang Huian came to this conclusion. She even started to cry as she hugged her pillow tightly while feeling distressed about her fate.

"W-why are you not here yet, Brother Lin? Why are you taking so long to return?" She wondered.

"Have you encountered any trouble? Please be fine. I will quickly come and help you!" Kang Huian decided as she made this promise to herself.

Having spent the better half of the day in slumber, Wang Jian finally stirred awake. As he roused, his keen eyes darted around the room, noticing the absence of Su Xian. He leisurely sat up on the bed and proceeded to attire himself before making his way out of the room.

He read the notifications of the system.

[Congratulations, Host. You successfully forced Heroine Kang Huian to state an erotic condition. You receive 3000 Destiny Points.]

After checking his status, Wang Jian was about to search for Su Xian. However, a maid approached and informed him, "Your Highness, Miss Su is in the kitchen as she is preparing a meal for you."

"Interesting," Wang Jian murmured before dismissing the maid.

Wang Jian strode purposefully towards the kitchen, his imposing presence causing the servants to bow in deference. Paying them no heed, he entered the bustling kitchen and soon caught sight of Su Xian standing over a large pot, expertly stirring its contents.

This was a traditional dish from the southern regions of the Everlasting Mystical Empire and was one of Wang Jian's favourite dishes. A savoury broth with tender chunks of braised meat and a medley of fresh vegetables.

Wang Jian sneaked before Su Xian and snaked his arms around her waist.

"Who is it?!" Su Xian shouted as she tried to wriggle out of his hold. She turned around and was about to slap this assailant but stopped when she noticed it was Wang Jian.

Noticing her aggressive actions, Wang Jian couldn't help but tease her, "What? You think anyone in this mansion dares to lay a hand on you?"

"…Please don't mock me like that," Su Xian grumbled unhappily.

Wang Jian didn't actually mind her protests as he was pleased with her reaction.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Jian asked.

"…I just wanted to cook your favourite meal," Su Xian answered.

Wang Jian rolled his eyes and spoke, "Come with me on a walk."

The two soon left the kitchen, with a servant quickly approaching the pot and expertly handling the contents in it.

Wang Jian and Su Xian strolled through the courtyard near the kitchen, the air thick with tension. Wang Jian's tone was stern as he spoke, "What's the matter? I expect honesty and no excuses. You know exactly what I am referring to."

Su Xian nervously nibbled on her lips, realizing that he was referring to her unusual behaviour.

"…I was deeply concerned, afraid of losing your favour and devoted attention," Su Xian replied candidly.

Wang Jian realized her meaning and suddenly started chuckling. "To Kang Huian?" He asked dryly.

"Yes," Su Xian spoke. She further explained, "…I was scared that you would soon grow bored of me and I will lose all your attention.."

"Hahaha…What an interesting theory," Wang Jian laughed.

He then added with a serious tone, "Actually, I will lose my interest in you if you continue to act so meekly. Do you know that you aren't acting as my woman but as a maid? How long do you think a maid can keep me entertained?"

"W-what?" Su Xian seemed bewildered.

Wang Jian smirked, "I will never stop pursuing beauty. So, if you want to remain relevant to me, then be helpful to me. It can be any kind of help, but make sure you are irreplaceable for me because of your ability."

"I will inform this to all my women. I wonder just who manages to be my favourite and become my wife," Wang Jian walked away after saying those words.

As the day progressed, Su Xian found herself consumed by Wang Jian's words. The thought of him casually declaring that he would have a harem, one that seemed to consist of many women, made her extremely uneasy. She couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort that lingered within her, no matter how hard she tried.

However, after some time, she finally came to a conclusion to continue her cultivation. Naturally, she couldn't start immediately as she required his permission.

Wang Jian agreed easily. In fact, he was waiting for this request.

Her talent in cultivation could be considered very impressive. Moreover, her dual cultivation with Wang Jian every night resulted in her Qi actually becoming even more formidable.

Her cultivation easily broke through to the Spirit Realm and allowed her to reach the fifth level of the Spirit Realm in one go. This was because of her Innate Energy Vessel Physique that allowed her to generate a huge amount of qi during her dual cultivation with Wang Jian.

Moreover, Su Xian hadn't yet completely absorbed the energy she had acquired from Wang Jian. She required time to get used to this level before she could absorb it any further.

Su Xian had a feeling that she could reach the Origin Realm after absorbing that entire energy.

Wang Jian seemed mildly satisfied with her progress. He actually wanted to use her to suppress his other women in the harem.

He wanted her to act as his wife because none of Lin Feng's other women was qualified. Their relationship had advanced a step further than Lin Feng's and Su Xian's as they had married him.

It would be a much harder task to change their perception of him, and that probably wouldn't change even if he took their purity.

However, Su Xian was different. This woman had completely surrendered to Wang Jian, so she could easily manage these women and deal with some miscellaneous matters in the household.

In the meantime, the situation had turned worse for the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.

This was all because the Miracle Angel Tribe members discovered that the Crimson Mammoth Warriors had split into many teams and were searching for their base.

The Miracle Angel Tribe members traced their tracks and soon found their underground hideout.

After discovering this underground hideout, the Miracle Angel Tribe members immediately threw their most poisonous insect, known as the Venomous Shimmer Ant, that they had gathered in the last few days to deal with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.

The Venomous Shimmer Ant is a rare and deadly species found deep in the Mellow Magnolia Woods.

These ants are small in size, with a shiny black exoskeleton that glimmers in the sunlight. They move quickly and silently, making them hard to detect. Their venom is a potent neurotoxin that causes excruciating pain and paralysis, eventually leading to a slow, torturous death for their prey.

The venom of the Venomous Shimmer Ant is so deadly that even a single sting can kill a human being within hours. The poison acts by attacking the nervous system, causing the victim to experience convulsions, spasms, and, eventually, paralysis. The victim is then left completely immobilized while still fully conscious to experience the full extent of the pain and suffering caused by the venom.

Even Kang Fu, the leader of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors, was stung by this ant.

Wang Jian came to know this information quickly though his spy among the Crimson Mammoth Warriors.

He never expected the Miracle Angel Tribe to possess such a trick. They were much more capable than he imagined.

Wang Jian decided to visit Kang Huian's infirmary after learning this important information. As he entered the room, he was met with the sight of Kang Huian lying on the bed, her face pale and gaunt with exhaustion. Dark circles had formed under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept for at least two days.

"Wake up," Wang Jian spoke. His voice was infused with spiritual energy that struck Kang Huian's soul and forced her to open her eyes.

"W-what is it?" Kang Huian opened her eyes.

Wang Jian approached Kang Huian with a stern expression. His voice was cold as he delivered the news, "I have come to deliver an urgent message. Your father is on the brink of death."

Kang Huian's eyes shot open as she sat upright, her heart racing with panic. "What?! How could this be? What do you mean?" she demanded, her tone laced with desperation and fear.

Wang Jian's lips curved into a cruel smirk as he enjoyed the sight of her distress. "Exactly what I said."

He added, "I don't exactly know. But it seems that the Miracle Angel Tribe's sneak attack succeeded. As for more detailed information, you need to get that directly from your clan."

Observing the flicker of anxiety on her countenance, Wang Jian anticipated that Kang Huian would hasten to her father's side without delay. "Given the gravity of the situation, I shall make an exception," he announced with a measured tone.

"You may return to your clan's hideout and assess his condition. If you come back within a day, I shall overlook this breach and honour our original agreement. But let me remind you, should you seek any additional favours, be ready to make a commensurate offer."

As soon as his ultimatum had concluded, Kang Huian sprang out of the window and sprinted towards her clan's sanctuary.

As Kang Huian rushed towards her clan's hideout, she was lucky that their new underground location was on her route. Otherwise, she would have wasted precious time searching for them. As she approached the hideout, she felt the familiar resonance of her bloodline, leading her straight to them.

With worry in her heart, Kang Huian hurried inside and was met with a sight that filled her with dread. Her kin were all in a sorry state, clearly in the midst of a dire situation. Without wasting any time, she asked urgently, "What happened? Why are you all in such a condition?"

"Young miss. It's the young miss. She is back!" The entire clan cheered upon her return.

"…Young miss. This was the act of those despicable members of the Miracle Angel Tribe. They spread those venomous ants that bit us and poisoned us. If not for our powerful vitality, I am afraid we would have died already. Clan head has lost consciousness as the ants bit him the most," explained one of Kang Huian's kins.

"N-No way! This was done by that peaceful Miracle Angel Tribe?!" Kang Huian was startled to realize this fact.

"That's right, young miss. After master waged war on the Miracle Angel Tribe, they joined hands with the Night Dagger Clan and have continued to target us with these cowardly methods," spoke another member.

"…Cough-cough…I want nothing more than to tear those bastards a new asshole. Slaughtering those self-righteous nasty bunch will be satisfying!" Many other members agreed with this reasoning.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Meanwhile, Kang Huian could care less about revenge. She did want revenge, but her top priority was her father's treatment.

"There is no antidote that can treat this poison?" She asked her clanmates.

"…We tried everything, including those rare herbs that the clan head had saved. But they didn't work. We might need to find an alchemist from the town, but that will require many days. I am afraid that it will be too late by then," An old man explained.

"No! It won't be too late! I will get the antidote!" Kang Huian announced.

"…How?" The members near her asked. They wondered what method the heiress possessed to acquire the antidote to this poison.

"…Just believe me, and don't worry about the method. Order all the teams exploring the jungle to return and defend this base. I don't want this situation to occur again," Kang Huian ordered before moving from her spot.

She hastened towards the grand estate of Wang Jian. Kang Huian knew that only he could treat this poison ailing her kin.

As she hurried back, Kang Huian's heart weighed heavy with guilt and regret. The memory of Wang Jian's twisted smile lingered in her mind, causing her to question her own morality.

'Brother Lin,' she thought with remorse, 'I have failed you. Despite all that you've done for me, I am about to betray you once more. How can I face you after this? You risked your life to protect me from the Miracle Angel Tribe and ventured into the perilous Thundering Hemlock Woods to cure my poison. Yet, here I am, about to turn my back on you. I fear that there will be no redemption for me.'

~~

In the meantime, Wang Jian sent a note with detailed instructions to Fen Gen.

"It's time for you to betray the Miracle Angel Tribe. Inform Han Lei of a plan to ambush the Crimson Mammoth Warriors while, in turn, leading them into a trap with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors waiting for them."

"Make sure Han Xifeng survives and escapes successfully while making it seem like a coincidence or a miracle. Once you accomplish this objective, the deal will be concluded."

Fen Gen was startled upon receiving this message, but he soon understood the meaning. This indicated that after following these instructions, his daughter could monopolize Lin Feng.

While Wang Jian was expertly manipulating the situation to steal even more of Lin Feng's women, a significant twist occurred in the Thundering Hemlock Woods.

Lin Feng came across another beauty. Her name was Jin Meixiang.

She had actually come to this forest along with her entourage, but they had the misfortune of encountering a Beast Lord.

Her entourage did their best to hold back the Beast Lord and prevent it from killing Jin Meixiang. During this time, she fled from the battlefield and came across Lin Feng.

Once Lin Feng understood the situation, he utilized his quick wit to conceal Jin Meixiang in a cave that completely sealed off Spiritual Energy.

This prevented the beast lord from sensing them, and he was forced to go somewhere else.

Only after the beast lord went away did they take a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng's eyes twinkled with excitement as he gazed at the beauty he had saved.

Jin Meixiang was a breathtaking beauty with long, jet-black hair that cascaded down her back in luscious waves. Her delicate features, which included almond-shaped eyes, high cheekbones, and full lips, were accentuated by her flawless, porcelain skin. Her figure was slender and graceful, with curves in all the right places, and she moved with a natural elegance that drew the eye.

When asked what she was doing here, Jin Meixiang didn't keep anything from her saviour and informed him, "I was searching for the Lightning King's Abode here."

Lin Feng was instantly intrigued upon hearing that this ruin seemed to be of the Lightning Attribute. There was a chance this ruin would possess enough lightning attribute energy to unlock the second seal of this Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword.

Lin Feng contemplated for a moment before gathering the courage to ask, "Would you permit me to accompany you to the ancient ruins?"

He anticipated that this charming woman would not refuse his request, for she was alone and would require his aid to navigate through the treacherous Thundering Hemlock Woods to reach the site.

He understood that without his guidance, her chances of reaching the ruins were slim to none. However, Lin Feng couldn't impose himself on her because he wanted to act as a gentleman. It would certainly be wonderful if he could earn the favor of this beauty.

Jin Meixiang thought for a minute before agreeing to his request. She was also aware that it would be very challenging for her to survive in these woods alone.

Moreover, the Lightning King's Adobe was bound to be littered with traps, and she might require his assistance there.

Thus, she agreed to his request readily. They made their way towards the ancient ruin on the very same day.

The Lightning King's Abode was a well-kept secret, hidden from the general public and even the experts of the previous generation. The entrance to the underground part of the ruin was hidden behind a waterfall, which only appeared during the rainy season. The waterfall would be at its strongest during this time, concealing the entrance from those who weren't looking for it.

Moreover, the waterfall that concealed the entrance to the Thunder King's Abode was constructed using an array, which made it virtually impossible for anyone to enter without knowing the correct method to break it.

The array was constructed using special energy nodes that were activated by the flow of water. The water from the waterfall was diverted through a complex network of underground channels and was used to activate these energy nodes, creating a barrier that concealed the entrance to the underground portion of the ruin.

To break this array, one would need to disrupt the flow of water through the channels that activate the energy nodes. This could be done by finding and activating certain switches that were hidden within the surrounding rocks.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

However, activating these switches was not an easy task. They were designed to be extremely well-hidden and could only be found by carefully examining the rocks in the area. They required a strong bolt of lightning to activate them. Additionally, these switches had to be activated quickly or else the entire process needed to be restarted.

Once all the switches were activated, the flow of water through the channels would be disrupted, causing the energy nodes to deactivate and the barrier to the Thunder King's Abode to disappear.

Lin Feng utilized his Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword to sense these lightning attribute rocks that had to be activated to enter the waterfall. After a couple of tries, he activated them all, and the two entered the Thunder King's Abode.

However, it was only after the two entered the abode that they realized its strangeness.

This abode was a medium-sized hollow cave with nothing in it. Lin Feng and Jin Meixiang were both puzzled by this desolation.

Lin Feng didn't believe that this place was as simple as it seemed. Just the process of entering this abode was so complicated so it definitely hid something precious.

They observed the entire place and soon came across a switch that opened a secret door upon activation.

As the door opened, a foul stench propagated. However, this didn't curb their intentions of exploring this abode.

Lin Feng and Jin Meixiang ventured deeper into the Lightning King's Abode, and the stench seemed to become even more intense.

It was clear that the place had not been disturbed for centuries, and the remains of the dead seemed to have decayed over time, creating a disgusting and overwhelming odour.

As they progressed through the ruin, they encountered a number of unique traps that had been set up to protect it. One of the first traps they encountered was a corridor that was lined with pressure plates. When triggered, the plates released a burst of poisonous gas that could cause blindness and death.

Once Lin Feng realized that the gas was being produced by a series of vents in the ceiling. He instructed Jin Meixiang to use her sword to disable the vents while he used his Qi to create a protective barrier around them.

Another trap they encountered was a room filled with illusionary mirrors. The mirrors reflected their images in various directions, making it difficult for them to determine which way was the right one. If they chose the wrong path, they would be trapped in the illusion forever.

Lin Feng quickly realized that the illusions were being created by a series of mirrors around the room. He used his sword to shatter each mirror one by one until the illusions dissipated.

There was also a trap in the form of a large chamber that was filled with sand. As soon as they stepped into the room, the sand began to shift and bury them alive.

Thinking quickly, Lin Feng grabbed onto a pillar in the center of the chamber and used his weight to counterbalance the shifting sand. He then ordered Jin Meixiang to do the same, and together, they managed to stabilize themselves.

Lin Feng then noticed that the shifting sand was creating a path towards the exit. Realizing that the trap was actually meant to guide them out of the chamber, he and Jin Meixiang followed the path and managed to escape without any harm.

After a series of other couple of traps that Lin Feng resolved with his quick wit and martial arts, they finally reached their destination – The Treasure Chamber.

There was a unique array set in this treasure chamber, but Lin Feng easily broke it by utilizing his Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword.

As Lin Feng and Jin Meixiang explored the depths of the Lightning King's Abode's Treasury Chamber, they discovered several treasures of great value and power.

The most notable nine treasures are: -

Thundercloud Crystal: A small crystal that glows with a faint blue light. When infused with lightning essence, it can summon a powerful thundercloud that can strike foes from a distance.

Lightning Chain: A long chain made of pure lightning essence. When wrapped around a target, it can deliver a powerful electric shock that can stun or incapacitate even the strongest foes.

Stormbreaker Halberd: A massive halberd with a blade made of pure lightning essence. When swung, it can generate a powerful electric field that can cut through even the thickest armour.

Lightning Phoenix Pendant - A pendant shaped like a phoenix and made from lightning-infused gold. The pendant enhances the wearer's magical abilities and allows them to control lightning with ease. It also provides protection from lightning-based attacks.

Thunderstorm Ring - A ring made from a piece of pure lightning crystal. The ring enhances the wearer's strength and allows them to call down thunderstorms to strike their enemies. It also provides protection from lightning attacks.

Lightning God's Scroll - A scroll containing the secrets of the Lightning God's lightning techniques. The scroll provides a significant boost to the user's lightning-based attacks and allows them to summon bolts of lightning from the sky.

Thunderbolt Elixir - A rare elixir made from lightning-infused herbs. The elixir provides a significant boost to the user's physical abilities, speed, and reflexes. It also enhances the user's control over lightning, allowing them to summon bolts of lightning with ease.

Lightning Charm: A small charm that can be attached to any weapon or piece of equipment. When activated, it imbues the item with the power of lightning, enhancing its capabilities and making it more effective in battle.

Lightning Eye: An ability that allows the user to see through solid objects and detect electrical activity. It can be used to locate hidden passages and traps, as well as to gain an advantage in battle by anticipating an opponent's moves.

Among these nine treasures, Jin Meixiang selected the Lightning Charm, the Lightning Phoenix Pendant, the Lightning Chain, and the Thunderbolt Elixir, while Lin Feng received the rest.

Lin Feng grabbed hold of the Stormbreaker Halberd, and suddenly the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword in his dantian began to tremble. It instantly absorbed the lightning energy within the Stormbreaker Halberd.

The Stormbreaker Halberd was the artifact of a King Realm expert. Although its power had significantly weakened, it was still far too great when compared to the Origin Realm Lightning Beasts.

Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed through the chamber as the second seal on the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword was unlocked. Lin Feng felt a surge of power coursing through his body as he looked at the sword in amazement.

As he held the sword aloft, he could see that the blade was now crackling with sacred lightning that was a brilliant white color. This lightning was known as the Sacred Lightning, and it was said to be the bane of all demons and devils.

The Sacred Lightning was pure and incorruptible, able to purify any darkness that it came into contact with. It was a divine force that could only be wielded by those with pure hearts and souls.

Lin Feng stood still as lightning essence flooded his body, pulsing through his veins and sparking in his mind. He was completely consumed by the power, unable to hear Jin Meixiang.

The lightning essence seemed to flow endlessly into him, filling him to the brim and beyond. His muscles twitched with the intensity of it, and he could feel his body growing stronger and more attuned to the element with each passing moment.

Jin Meixiang saw the sight of Lin Feng unlocking his sword's second seal and understood that this was an extraordinary young man.

She decided it would be best to form a good connection with him as he might become a mighty warrior in the near future.

However, at the same time, just as this colossal commotion occurred, the abode began to collapse.

Jin Meixiang noticed that Lin Feng wasn't responding and understood that he was probably trying to control that massive lightning energy. She grabbed his body and made a run for it.

Due to some luck, they managed to escape the collapsing abode.

Lin Feng regained consciousness a few hours later. He noticed Jin Meixiang was no longer with him. She seemed to have left a command seal that stated Jin.

Lin Feng didn't understand what this command seal signified as he had never left the Zhenguan Region.

However, he had a feeling that this woman belonged to a clan from outside the Zhenguan Region.

'Can I leave this region if I show this seal to those guards? Can I find her using this seal?' Lin Feng wondered.

However, he stopped thinking in this direction and realized that the lightning attribute essence within his dantian still hadn't been completely absorbed.

'I should spend a few days to absorb this essence. It should allow me to reach the Origin Realm and beyond. I can easily treat Huian's poison and even save Su Xian from that despicable bastard Wang Jian,' Lin Feng thought darkly.

~~

Poor Lin Feng had no idea that Wang Jian had already taken Su Xian's purity. In fact, their sexual activities had become a daily chore for them.

Su Xian eagerly strips once Wang Jian enters her room.

She won't be the only one, though. Kang Huian was going to join her soon.

After returning to Wang Jian's mansion, Kang Huian met with him shortly after. As he laid eyes on the woman, a mischievous grin crept onto his face.

"I knew you would return soon," Wang Jian remarked.

Upon meeting with Wang Jian, Kang Huian promptly knelt before him, her voice filled with desperation, "I plead with you, treat my father and my clan members. Only you can help me."

Wang Jian's eyes flickered with a cold gleam as he responded with a mocking tone, "Perhaps I may consider your request, but it depends on what you can offer me in return. Unfortunately, from what I can see, you have little to offer at this point."

Kang Huian remained undaunted and made a solemn promise, "I will do whatever it takes to save them. I will not reject any of your orders, no matter how despicable they may be."

Wang Jian scoffed at her words and remarked, "Your offer may save your father's life, but it will not extend to the rest of your clan."

Kang Huian was taken aback by his words and stammered, "What do you mean?"

Wang Jian's face twisted into a cruel sneer as he spoke, "If you want me to save your entire clan, then they must all submit to me. Each of them must sign a lifetime slave contract, which will bind them to eternal servitude. Now, it's up to you to make a choice."

Kang Huian was taken aback by Wang Jian's audacious demand, and she clenched her fists in anger. Time was running out, and she needed to make a decision quickly since her clan members were on the brink of death due to the deadly poison.

Wang Jian had a cunning smile on his face, as he had already anticipated Kang Huian's decision. He had spent enough time with her to understand her personality, and it was evident that she could not develop clever solutions in a crisis.

Kang Huian was quick-tempered and acted on impulse rather than reason, making her easily manipulated.

"…Y-you are taking advantage of our predicament!" She exclaimed.

Wang Jian rolled his eyes in disdain, "I would be a fool not to take advantage of this opportunity."

'My father would rather die than sign a lifetime slave contract. But fortunately, I can save him…As for others, it would depend on them,' She thought.

With a determined expression, Kang Huian spoke, "…I urge you to come with me and save them. I am willing to accept that lifetime slave contract."

"Wonderful," Wang Jian responded with a crafty look.

Wang Jian smirked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Do not worry, my dear. We shall pass the time with some refreshing tea while my trusted subordinates bring the lifetime slave contracts. I foresaw such a predicament and commissioned a large order with the blood contract master, ensuring that we shall have an ample supply."

Kang Huian's expression turned anxious, and she asked, "How long must we wait?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Ads by Pubfuture

Wang Jian waved a dismissive hand. "Only a couple of hours, my dear."

Kang Huian's frown deepened at the thought of her father's condition worsening with each passing moment. "That's too long. We cannot afford to wait," she pleaded.

"…Heh…I do have a solution for that. You just need to motivate me properly," Wang Jian spoke with an immoral grin.

Kang Huian immediately realized the meaning behind that depraved grin. He wanted her to do something obscene.

However, Kang Huian didn't have the time to complain or even the authority to negotiate. Her heart was racing with anxiety, and her palms were sweaty as she reluctantly asked, "What must I do?"

Wang Jian's lips curved into a mischievous grin as he declared, "Come to my chambers."

As they walked towards Wang Jian's chambers, Kang Huian's breaths became shallow and quick. Her mind was racing with thoughts of what Wang Jian might do to her, and she felt like a prey being led to its predator.

On the other hand, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel amused by Kang Huian's nervousness. He enjoyed the feeling of power he had over her and relished the thought of making her submit to him completely.

Wang Jian sauntered into his chambers, a smug grin plastered on his face as he took a seat on his luxurious bed. He motioned for Kang Huian to stand before him, his gaze sweeping over her form as he spoke in a low, sultry tone, "I must say I have never witnessed a nude dance of beauty like yours. Why don't you show me what you're capable of, my dear?"

Kang Huian felt her cheeks burn as she stared at him, her eyes widening in disbelief at his scandalous request. She stuttered, struggling to comprehend what he had just asked of her.

"Y-you want me to...strip and dance?" she stammered, her voice shaking.

"Exactly." Wang Jian said, his tone cold and uncompromising. He added with a hint of malice, "Don't waste any more time, my dear. Your father's life is at stake. You don't want to be responsible for his death, do you?"

Kang Huian followed Wang Jian's commands and began to strip. Her milky body was soon revealed to Wang Jian's eyes, who couldn't help but take a long glance at those massive peaks.

Those peaks wiggled as Kang Huian began dancing.

Her movements were graceful and fluid, but her eyes were downcast, filled with shame and despair.

She felt helpless, forced to degrade herself in front of this man who held her father's life in his hands. She couldn't help but feel disgusted by the situation, but she knew that she had no other choice.

Wang Jian watched her dance with a satisfied smirk on his face, relishing in the power he held over her. He commanded her to dance faster, to spin and twirl, and she obeyed without protest.

She felt violated and humiliated by the lecherous gaze that he cast upon her body.

Her eyes were fixed on the floor, avoiding any contact with Wang Jian's leering eyes. She felt like she was being reduced to a mere object for his pleasure, and it made her sick to her stomach.

After half an hour, Wang Jian finally had his fill of humiliating Kang Huian. He noticed she was losing her sense of shame.

Wang Jian's cold voice echoed in the room, "Put your clothes back on."

Kang Huian obeyed, her movements slow and heavy with helplessness. She could feel the weight of his gaze on her, his eyes piercing into her skin as she dressed herself.

Just as she began, Wang Jian spoke again, his tone taunting, "Aren't you curious why I am so intent on humiliating you?"

Kang Huian's face twisted with disgust as she retorted, "You are a depraved man."

Wang Jian's lips curled into a wicked grin as he replied, "Guilty as charged. But the real reason I wanted to humiliate you is because you belong to Lin Feng. Your man dared to scheme against me, planning to unite the three tribes and destroy me. Fate, however, had its own plans, and he received punishment for his treachery."

Kang Huian seethed with anger, "You're just using that as an excuse to indulge in your sick fantasies!"

Wang Jian chuckled with amusement, "Hehe... perhaps. But I did enjoy that nude dance."

As they exited the mansion, Wang Jian led the way towards his awaiting chariot. Kang Huian trailed behind him, her thoughts consumed by the impending journey. Just then, Su Xian appeared before them, having just finished her morning meditation. Her eyes widened at the sight of Wang Jian and Kang Huian walking side by side.

She impulsively approached them to figure out what was going on.

"Where are the two of you going together?" Su Xian asked, eyeing them suspiciously.

Wang Jian remained calm and composed. "I am visiting her clan. She is ready to convince her father to establish a deal with me," he said smoothly, gesturing towards Kang Huian.

Kang Huian fidgeted nervously, trying to support Wang Jian's excuse. "Yes, I will do my best," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Really?" Su Xian frowned while gazing at Kang Huian.

As Su Xian protested Kang Huian's presence, Wang Jian stepped forward and pulled Su Xian into a loving embrace. He held her tightly, her body pressed against his own, and whispered softly in her ear.

"Xian'er, my dear, I have to leave for a while. I promise I will return soon," he said, planting a kiss on her neck.

Su Xian blushed and tried to push him away, but Wang Jian held her firmly. He began to nibble on her earlobe, causing her to shiver with pleasure.

Kang Huian's eyes widened upon witnessing this scene. She knew that her brother Lin Feng was in love with this woman. She never expected this woman to actually fall for Wang Jian and act so intimately with him in her presence.

Their relationship must have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Wang Jian finally released Su Xian from his embrace and turned to Kang Huian, "Let's go. We shouldn't be late for the meeting," he said, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

Su Xian finally walked away with Wang Jian and Kang Huian stepping on the chariot.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The two journeyed towards the Crimson Mammoth Tribe's hideout. The ride was smooth, and the terrain was not too difficult to traverse.

Wang Jian held Kang Huian tightly against his chest, his hands tracing the curves of her body as the chariot bounced and swayed on the rough road. She tried to pull away, but he held her tighter, nuzzling her neck and enjoying her luscious body.

Kang Huian remained silent, her face twisted in discomfort and anger at his touch, but she didn't dare to say anything to him.

As the journey continued, Wang Jian's caresses became more aggressive, his hands roaming freely over her body, leaving a trail of heat and desire in their wake. Kang Huian gritted her teeth, hating the way he touched her but also feeling a strange mixture of arousal and fear. She knew she had to endure his perversions if she wanted to survive this ordeal.

The chariot finally arrived at the Crimson Mammoth Tribe's hideout, and Wang Jian let go of Kang Huian. She stepped off the chariot, her eyes burning with anger and resentment towards him, but she said nothing.

As Kang Huian returns to her tribe, she is met with angry reactions from her tribe members, who saw her intimate contact with Wang Jian on the chariot.

One of them shouts at her, "What is wrong with you? Have you forgotten who you are? You have shamed our tribe!"

One of her fellow tribeswomen continues, "How could you do this to your father? He trusted you to represent our tribe with dignity, and here you are, cuddling with a man like a common whore!"

Kang Huian felt guilty and frustrated at the entire scenario. She tried to defend herself, "It's not what you think. He forced himself on me. I didn't want any of it."

"Do you really think we are so foolish as to believe your lies? You willingly boarded his chariot and behaved intimately with him. Your brazenness is astounding, to say the least. I cannot fathom how you could allow yourself to be so close to this man!" one of them said.

"I can't believe you would betray us like this. You've always been such a loyal member of our tribe, but now you've shown your true colours!" another one added.

"I-it's not like that," Kang Huian replied weakly.

'

"Silence! It is for us to decide. You are no rightful heiress of our tribe for fooling around with our adversary!" A woman, bearing considerable influence, bellowed.

The sentiment was shared by other members of the tribe, who voiced their dissent in unison.

The sight of her own tribe members rejecting her claims without even trying to believe her left Kang Huian torn between guilt and frustration. While she was somewhat contrite for having sought Wang Jian's aid, it was vexing to see her efforts go unacknowledged by her own people, despite her many sacrifices on their behalf.

Wang Jian stood firmly on the chariot, watching the scene unfold before him with a wicked grin on his face. He knew that this would only add to the resentment that Kang Huian already harboured towards her own tribe, and he relished in the thought of using this to his advantage.

As Kang Huian's tribe members continued to shout at her and accuse her of being unfaithful to her clan, Wang Jian stepped down from the chariot and approached them. With a calm and collected demeanor, he spoke to the tribe members, "I understand your anger and frustration, but take a look at the bigger picture here. Kang Huian came to me because she wanted to help you all. She knew that only I have the ability that could aid you in this predicament."

He paused for a moment, letting his words sink in before continuing, "But, if you continue to treat her with such disrespect and disdain, she may start to lose faith in your tribe. She may begin to think that her efforts are in vain and that you do not appreciate her sacrifice."

Wang Jian's words were like honey, sweet and inviting. The tribe members began to listen to him, their anger slowly dissipating as they thought deeply.

"W-What are you talking about?"

Wang Jian rolled his eyes upon hearing their question and stared at Kang Huian, "Explain the situation to them."

Kang Huian remained dumbfounded for a few moments before she understood what he meant. She turned towards her clanmates and began to speak, "…Wang Jian possesses a secret skill with which he can treat the poison. That is why I rushed to him to beg him to help us."

"Then why were you acting so intimately with him on that chariot?!" A woman bellowed.

Wang Jian responded casually, "It's your good fortune that Huian is a beauty. She had to entertain me along the way in return for healing you."

This was all the explanation that he provided. Although Kang Huian's clanmates were dubious of this reasoning, they accepted it for the time being.

It was only natural because they wanted to be treated as well.

Meanwhile, Kang Huian was shocked to hear his words. She failed to understand why Wang Jian wasn't informing them of their true deal.

Wang Jian had stated earlier that he would only heal them if each one signed a lifetime slave contract with him. It took her a moment to realize that he must have been messing with her.

'H-he is terrifyingly evil! He was making me dance on his palm this entire time,' Kang Huian thought.

Wang Jian's sly gaze shifted towards Kang Huian as he uttered, "Take me to your father. I will heal him first."

Kang Huian hesitated for a moment, her gaze meeting Wang Jian's, searching for any hint of his true intentions. But all she saw was a twisted smile, sending shivers down her spine.

With a forced look towards her tribe members, Kang Huian led Wang Jian towards the canvas where her father lay.

As Wang Jian followed Kang Huian to the canvas where her father was resting, he carefully observed his surroundings. He saw that Kang Huian's father was lying unconscious on a comfortable bed made of feathers, guarded by some of the tribe's most powerful experts.

Chapter 36 Healing the Crimson Mammoth Warriors

Wang Jian rolled his eyes in disdain, "It was just a low-ranked poison, not something like Devil

Venom."

His eyes suddenly flashed with an evil glint, "Wear your clothes now. I will heal the other members

of your tribe."

Kang Huian struggled to stand, her body feeling weak and her legs trembling. She looked at Wang

Jian with a mix of shame and resentment. "I can't...I feel too weak," she muttered, her voice barely

audible.

Wang Jian raised an eyebrow and walked over to her. He gently grabbed her arm and pulled her up,

causing her to stumble and nearly fall. "You have no choice." he said, his tone comforting.

"Take a moment and try to gather your energy," Wang Jian suggested.

His words made Kang Huian scowl furiously as she couldn't help but think, 'You fucking bastard. You

make it sound as if this is all my fault. It's all because you were such a horny dog! That was my first

time! Not even Brother Feng had taken my first time yet. I wanted to give it to him after he would

defeat you as his reward. I never imagined it would be you who would take my virginity!'

'But so, what if you get my body?! You will never have my heart. It will always belong to Brother

Feng!'

Regrettably for Kang Huian, Wang Jian had no interest in winning her affections. His true desire was

to overpower and corrupt her so thoroughly that even though she had feelings for Lin Feng, she

would be compelled to turn to Wang Jian for carnal desires.

However, this wasn't the entire reason Wang Jian healed the entire Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

Actually, even without Kang Huian begging him, Wang Jian planned to treat them all. This was

because of his plan to conquer the other two heroines.

Wang Jian's next target was the Miracle Angel Tribe. With what he had planned, he felt that it would

be easy to conquer Han Xifeng!

Among the women who loved Lin Feng, Han Xifeng was the one who felt the most intense emotions

for him. She was also a pure woman that possessed the demeaner of a fairy.

Wang Jian was sure that losing her would be a considerable blow to Lin Feng's luck.

In fact, after taking Kang Huian's virginity, Wang Jian gained astronomical number of Destiny Points.

The total number of points he gained from Kang Huian alone was around 80,000.

The reason for acquiring so many points was because Wang Jian had utterly humiliated her and

broken her as he had sex with her in this canvas. He had broken her to such a level that she failed to

think of anything other than that carnal pleasure.

Her moans were loud enough to resound in the canvas and if Wang Jian hadn't anticipated this and

spread his Qi to contain her voice, the entire tribe would have known of her debauched act.

However, these weren't the only points he earned. Wang Jian also earned nearly 5000 Destiny

Points from Su Xian.

Apparently, she was thinking of him all this time.

"Great. I can upgrade my bloodline now," Wang Jian whispered.

Wang Jian arrived at the realization that the destiny points he had accumulated thus far were

inadequate to enhance his cultivation rank to the King Realm. Consequently, in order to acquire

additional skills, he must improve either his cultivation method or his bloodline.

Truthfully, Wang Jian was considerably more intrigued by the formidable capabilities offered by his

Devil Bloodline.

However, he couldn't order the system to upgrade his bloodline now.

First, he had to get away from this place and arrive at a safe location before commencing this

process.

Before that, Wang Jian planned to treat the entire Crimson Mammoth Warriors of their poison.

Kang Huian walked while limping as she left the canvas alongside Wang Jian.

As the two emerged from the canvas, many members of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe surrounded

them and began asking, "Is Chief Fu alright? Will he survive?"

"If anything has happened to him, we won't let you off!"

"You three! Go check Chief Fu's condition! Give us a shout if he is alright."

While the members of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe created chaos, Kang Huian spoke firmly, "Father

has been treated. He will be alright."

"…Now, it's time to heal all of you," Wang Jian spoke as his eyes were filled with a fiery glint.

Before Kang Huian or her tribe members could understand his words, a massive qi flooded the

entire region.

This qi entered the bodies of all the tribe members and forcefully expelled the poison within their

blood.

This entire scenario took less than ten minutes.

Kang Huian, including all her tribe members were shocked at this display of power.

"…Y-you…What is your cultivation realm?!"

"I am an Origin Realm expert, but I couldn't have accomplished that."

"Same here, buddy. That pressure could not be generated by an Origin Realm expert. He must be at

the Lord Realm!"

Those words dumbfounded Kang Huian as she never expected that Wang Jian's power was so great.

The hope in her heart to make Wang Jian pay for his actions diminished significantly.

"…Let's return," Wang Jian stated. His words sounded like an order to Kang Huian who limped her

way to the chariot.

The wheels of the chariot began rolling as Wang Jian and Kang Huian made their way to the

mansion.

The wheels of the chariot began rolling as Wang Jian and Kang Huian made their way to the mansion.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

After Wang Jian was gone, the Crimson Mammoth Warriors regained their composure and created multiple patrols around the hideout.

The Crimson Mammoth Warriors didn't want the Miracle Angel Tribe and the Night Dagger Clan to get to them again.

Five hours elapsed before Kang Fu regained consciousness.

After hearing the details of his recovery, Kang Fu's fury erupted wildly. He broke a couple of rocks and even the ground due to his power.

Kang Fu was feeling even angrier after hearing his tribe members describe Wang Jian's power.

According to their words, Wang Jian's power was far beyond him! He was already at the Lord Realm!

After another few hours of recovery, they received a message from Fen Gen, the leader of the Night Dagger Clan.

This message stated detailed instructions along with an address.

Kang Fu read those instructions and couldn't help but think, 'What a wicked scheme! The Miracle Angel Tribe will never see this coming!'

In the meantime, after Wang Jian returned from the Crimson Mammoth Tribe's hideout, he organized a room for Kang Huian and stationed three experts to watch over her.

Kang Huian was at a loss as to how to proceed with her life after striking a deal with Wang Jian. She knew that he held complete ownership over her, despite not having signed any slave contract.

The mere thought of his ability to enforce the deal left her with a feeling of helplessness. Wang Jian's ability to threaten her tribe and leave her with no other choice loomed over her like a dark cloud.

Despite these overwhelming thoughts, Kang Huian's mind was not entirely consumed by them.

The words of her tribe members still lingered in her head, spoken in moments of rage and frustration. These words stirred up emotions within her that she had never experienced before.

She felt a sense of anger and betrayal, not only towards Wang Jian but towards herself as well. For allowing herself to be used and dominated by him, for submitting to his every whim, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

While Kang Huian was wallowing in guilt, Wang Jian had already ordered the system to upgrade his bloodline.

Wang Jian soon felt his qi pulsing with an otherworldly energy. The upgradation process was intense, as though his very essence was being altered.

The process lasted for an entire day, during which Wang Jian was barely conscious. But when he finally emerged, he felt a new power surging within him. His qi had undergone a drastic change, becoming more potent and infused with devilish energy.

His muscles grew stronger, his bones became denser, and his senses became sharper. He could see more clearly, hear more acutely, and sense things that were beyond his normal range of perception.

As he reached the second level of his bloodline, he unlocked several new abilities.

One of these was the ability to manipulate shadows known as Shadow Manipulation. He could now create shadow clones of himself, which he could use to confuse and distract his opponents. He could also use the shadows to move quickly and silently, allowing him to sneak up on his enemies.

The second ability was named 'Dark Fog.' This ability creates a thick fog of darkness that can obscure the vision of enemies, making it difficult for them to see and attack the user.

And last, but the most important ability he unlocked of this level was known as Eclipse Domain Annihilation.

This technique is a devastating attack that unleashes a massive wave of dark and chaotic Qi that spreads out in all directions, obliterating everything in its path.

The attack is so powerful that it can wipe out entire armies with a single blast. As the Qi wave expands, it generates a powerful gravitational force that sucks in everything around it, crushing and destroying everything within its reach.

The Eclipse Domain Annihilation is not only a physical attack but also has a psychological effect on the enemy, inducing a sense of dread and despair. Those who are caught in the blast are consumed by an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and despair, making them easy targets for follow-up attacks.

However, the power of this technique comes with a cost. It requires a massive amount of Qi and can only be used sparingly. The user must also be careful not to lose control of the chaotic Qi, as it can quickly spiral out of control and consume the user themselves.

Thus, only the devils possessing a strong mind are allowed to utilize this spell else they lose themselves to it.

Fortunately, Wang Jian's soul was a combination of two individuals. His soul was sufficiently more powerful than a typical devil and he could definitely utilize this technique without strongly feeling the after effects.

[Warning: The Tranquil Mind Divine Mantra's passive ability can barely deal with the emotional instability aftereffect of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Bloodline. It is recommended to upgrade this technique.]

[The cost to upgrade the Tranquil Mind Divine Mantra is 100,000 Destiny Points.]

Wang Jian had nearly forgotten about this issue. Fortunately, it wasn't an urgent situation right now.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

While Wang Jian was unconscious due to his bloodline upgradation, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and the Night Dagger Clan collaborated to develop an elaborate strategy to ambush the Miracle Angel Tribe.

On one side, Fen Gen of the Night Dagger Clan expertly persuaded Han Lei regarding a surprise attack on the Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

"You don't need to be worried, Han Lei. Loyal members of my tribe have already discovered their new position, and it's not too far from their previous location."

Han Lei trusted Fen Gen quite a bit. This was all because Fen Gen had assisted the Miracle Angel Tribe by providing them with various supplies and even those ants with which they crippled many warriors of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

In fact, Han Lei believed that the poison of those venomous ants must have killed most warriors of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe, while only the experts of the tribe are barely clinging to their lives.

Thus, the danger to this mission could be considered moderate or small.

This would be a historic feat for the Miracle Angel Tribe to completely rout out the Crimson Mammoth Tribe from the Mellow Magnolia Woods.

The Night Dagger Clan members also helped the Miracle Angel Tribe with their preparations for this ambush.

Han Lei and Han Xifeng observed that in this mission, the Night Dagger Clan members actually planned to participate actively.

"Wouldn't this be a bit of an overkill?" Han Lei asked with a wide grin on his face.

"It sure will be," Fen Gen responded while matching that grin.

"That's also good. We can't take any chances against these brutes," Han Lei spoke.

A day passed, and Wang Jian arrived at the location where the huge battle would take place.

Fen Gen had naturally sent him the address of this battle.

Only twenty or so Crimson Mammoth Warriors were present on the site. The rest were hiding nearby.

As Wang Jian had arrived much earlier, he had already noticed them and stayed careful not to reveal his position.

In contrast to the low number of Crimson Mammoth Warriors on the site, the Miracle Angel Tribe and Night Dagger Clan had arrived in full force, with over 60 warriors from each tribe.

"Give up, Kang Fu! It's your last chance!" shouted Han Lei.

"We will never surrender!" Kang Fu shouted valiantly.

His tribe members all roared in a strange fervour as they launched themselves at their adversaries.

The Miracle Angel Tribe members immediately charged at the Crimson Mammoth Tribe warriors, their weapons clashing in mid-air.

The Night Dagger Clan members remained behind, making the Miracle Angel Tribe members wonder what was at play.

As the battle raged on, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe members fought valiantly, their brute strength and martial prowess allowing them to close in on the Miracle Angel Tribe's forces. However, they were met with a barrage of arrows and spells that took down many of their numbers.

Just as it seemed like the Crimson Mammoth Tribe members were about to be defeated, the Night Dagger Clan emerged from behind, revealing their true allegiance to the Crimson Mammoth Tribe. The Night Dagger Clan members started attacking the Miracle Angel Tribe from behind, causing chaos and confusion among their ranks.

The Crimson Mammoth Tribe members rallied, and their spirits were lifted by the unexpected turn of events.

More Crimson Mammoth Tribe warriors suddenly made their presence known as they joined this battle.

They charged forward with renewed vigour, their muscles bulging with strength as they tore through the Miracle Angel Tribe's defences.

Han Xifeng, the heiress of the Miracle Angel Tribe, fought fiercely to defend her people, but the situation turned out to be hopeless.

As the battle raged on, her anger grew with every passing moment. She watched as her fellow Miracle Angel Tribe members fell one by one to the combined forces of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and the Night Dagger Clan.

But what truly enraged her was the sudden betrayal of the Night Dagger Clan, who had allied themselves with the Crimson Mammoth Tribe. She couldn't believe that they had turned their backs on the Miracle Angel Tribe, especially after they had been so close to forming an alliance.

As the chaos continued, Han Lei, her father, ordered her to escape, but she refused.

"No, father! I won't leave you here to die! We can fight together and defeat them!" Han Xifeng protested, her voice trembling with emotion.

But her father was adamant. "I must stay and hold them off. You must escape and find Lin Feng. Only by his side can you be safe. Find a way to avenge us. Make sure to rebuild our tribe. Promise me, Xifeng."

Han Xifeng protested again, "But father-"

Han Lei grabbed her by the shoulders and spoke to her in a stern, angry tone.

"Listen to me carefully, Xifeng. You are the heiress of the Miracle Angel Tribe, and your survival is the top priority. You must leave now and live to reclaim our tribe's glory in the future. Do you understand?"

Han Xifeng tried to protest, but her father's tone left no room for argument.

"But Father, I cannot leave you and the tribe to face this danger alone. We should fight together!"

Han Lei shook his head, his eyes filled with tears.

"No, Xifeng. You are our hope for the future. You must live! Live to avenge our tribe and then rebuild it! Remember, I am always with you, no matter what happens."

"Promise me!" he interrupted with a firm tone.

Han Xifeng's eyes filled with tears as she nodded reluctantly, "I promise."

She turned to leave, but as she ran, she couldn't help but feel a burning rage towards the Night Dagger Clan.

"How could they do this? We trusted them! We were supposed to be allies!" she thought to herself, clenching her fists.

If Wang Jian had heard her words, he would have probably burst out in laughter. His plan had worked wonderfully.

This was exactly what he wanted to accomplish.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian wanted to create a burning desire for vengeance in Han Xifeng's heart. Moreover, it's primary target would be the Night Dagger Clan with Crimson Mammoth Warriors being her secondary target.

'It will be easy to make her submissive. I probably don't even need a contract for this. I just need to promise her that I will demolish the Night Dagger Clan for her. And in return, she just needs to give her the only thing she possesses.'

'She is the heroine who feels most intensely for Lin Feng. Losing her would be a huge blow to his luck and my Destiny Points will definitely go past the Hundred Thousand mark again.'

'Maybe it could cross the two hundred thousand mark this time.' Wang Jian couldn't help but smile as this thought crossed his mind.

Now, it was time to conduct a deal with her.

However, just as Wang Jian felt that Han Xifeng was in his grasp, she did something that tossed his calculations out of the window.

As Han Xifeng created some distance from the battlefield, she pulled out a rare talisman known as the Hundred Miles Teleportation Talisman from her storage ring. The talisman was old and worn, with intricate symbols etched onto its surface. Han Xifeng focused her Qi into the talisman, pouring her energy into the symbols.

As she did so, the talisman began to glow with a bright light, and Han Xifeng could feel its power building. She closed her eyes, concentrating on the talisman and the energy flowing through her body.

Suddenly, there was a loud crackling sound, and a burst of energy erupted from the talisman. Han Xifeng was enveloped in a blinding light, and when it faded, she found herself several hundred miles away from the battlefield.

As she caught her breath and tried to make sense of what had just happened, she realized that she had used up a significant amount of her Qi in the process. She knew she needed to rest and regain her strength before continuing her journey.

As Han Xifeng activated the Hundred Miles Teleportation Talisman and disappeared before his eyes, Wang Jian was following her closely behind. He was left completely dumbfounded as he never expected her to possess this rare talisman.

But soon, Wang Jian realized the potential implications of Han Xifeng's escape. He knew that he needed her to complete his master plan, and her sudden disappearance could prove to be a major setback.

With a scowl on his face, he began to scan the area, hoping to find some clue as to where Han Xifeng might have gone.

Little did he know that she had just teleported several hundred miles away, far beyond his reach.

"…Shit! I was too overconfident!" Wang Jian cursed underneath his breath.

"There is still time. That talisman wasn't the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman. Perhaps some sort of inferior copy. I should be able to catch up to her."

Thus, Wang Jian immediately spread his divine sense and scanned the region around him as he ran around.

The biggest problem for him was that he had no idea in which direction Han Xifeng had teleported.

While Wang Jian was searching for her, Han Xifeng came across a shocking individual. It was none other than Lin Feng!

This was absolutely the worst timing for her to meet him.

Han Xifeng informed him of everything that transpired while he was in the Thundering Hemlock Woods.

"That's right. The Crimson Mammoth Tribe waged war on us because of our actions against Kang Huian. Considering their temper, it wasn't a surprising thing."

"But why? I specifically told the Night Dagger Clan to not mention anything about that," Lin Feng muttered.

Han Xifeng gritted her teeth upon hearing the name of that clan and venomously spat, "Who knows. Maybe this was another one of their schemes. I don't care their reasons; I just want them to pay for their actions!"

Lin Feng didn't like how Han Xifeng was talking about the Night Dagger Clan, but he didn't admonish her.

He could understand her raging emotions. The Night Dagger Clan had just betrayed her tribe which resulted in the total annihilation of her tribe. Her father even had to sacrifice himself just to ensure that she escaped.

This must have been a significant blow to her.

"Go on ahead," Lin Feng spoke softly.

Han Xifeng nodded, "It was unknown how information was leaked. Initially, it was through rumors and eventually, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe demanded Kang Huian from the Night Dagger Clan."

"The Night Dagger Clan accepted their demands and delivered Kang Huian to them. After she returns to their clan, the Crimson Mammoth Warriors waged war on us. In consequence, my tribe allied with the Night Dagger Clan, and we started ambushing their members."

"…I see," Lin Feng whispered as he was lost in deep thought.

He couldn't believe that the situation devolved so quickly after he left. It was as if several months or years had passed after he was gone.

"Initially, everything was going wonderfully. The Crimson Mammoth Warriors countered swiftly, but we easily dealt with it. We even forced them to switch their hideout to another one. But this was an underground hideout. This time, we received the Night Dagger Clan's assistance as they provided us with venomous ants. These venomous ants poisoned the members of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and weakened them considerably."

"After a day or so had passed, we felt it was best time to take out the Crimson Mammoth Tribe in one swoop. However, this was all a ruse!"

"How so?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.

"The Crimson Mammoth Tribe members were not afflicted with the poison. Instead, they were healthy and robust! They gave off the appearance that they were affected by stationing weak men in their hideout. Once the battle began and the situation got a bit worse for them, the Night Dagger Clan attacked us suddenly. Lots of Crimson Mammoth Tribe members suddenly jumped in from the nearby trees as if they were waiting for this opportunity."

Han Xifeng's voice quivered as tears welled up in her eyes, "My entire tribe was wiped out in just a matter of minutes..." Her grief erupted in the form of sniffles and sobs.

Soothingly, Lin Feng embraced her and promised, "Don't worry, everything will be alright now that I'm here."

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Jian had been watching their interaction from a distance, scowling in frustration, "This is the worst possible scenario. With Lin Feng here, my entire plan will easily crumble. I need to act fast and come up with a new strategy. Is there any way to salvage the situation?"

Wang Jian reorganized his thoughts as he tried to think of a new strategy.

'Wait…What if I switch my target? I was saving her for the last, but it appears that the plan needs to be changed. My next target should be Fen Shuying, the heiress to the Night Dagger Clan.'

A broad grin slowly stretched across Wang Jian's face as this idea firmly embedded itself in his mind.

"…I should begin the first step quickly." Wang Jian whispered.

While this situation was occurring, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and the Night Dagger Clan were cleaning the battlefield.

They rolled all the bodies to the side and dealt with them according to their customs.

After dealing with the corpses, the two tribes returned to their hideouts respectively. They had to deal with the aftermath of this battle.

Also, the two tribes had to negotiate regarding the newly acquired territory, hideouts, and resources of the Miracle Angel Tribe.

They also planned to assign a few teams to find Han Xifeng. However, they weren't too worried about her.

She was a weak woman who would find it challenging to survive the beasts in this forest. It would be hard for her to stir up any waves.

Naturally, they were completely oblivious to the fact that she had come across Lin Feng and informed him of everything she knew.

After their victory, Kang Fu decided to meet Wang Jian. However, since it was already nighttime, he felt it would be better to meet him the next day.

Well, that was the right decision, as Wang Jian had already gone to Night Dagger Clan's primary hideout.

Wang Jian utilized his Moonshadow Step and Shadow Manipulation to conceal his traces as he infiltrated their hideout.

After infiltrating their hideout, he quickly entered Fen Gen's house. Inside this house, only Fen Gen's wife, his daughter, and a couple of servants were present.

Fen Gen hadn't brought them on this ambush as he didn't want them to be in danger.

Outside of Fen Shuying's room, Wang Jian dropped a note.

This was a note that he had previously sent Fen Gen. This note contained information about the situation, instructions for the next task for Fen Gen, and a question about whether the previous task was completed or not. It even had Wang Jian's seal on it.

All in all, this note was proof of collaboration between him and Fen Gen.

After dropping this note, Wang Jian knocked on Fen Shuying's room before fleeing quickly.

Fen Shuying swung open the door, only to be greeted by an empty hallway. Baffled, she scanned her surroundings before her eyes fell upon a piece of paper lying on the ground.

With trepidation, she retrieved the note and perused its contents. The more she delved into its message, the more her countenance grew ashen.

"F-father was collaborating with Brother Feng's enemy, Wang Jian?! And this doesn't seem to be the only time they collaborated!" She whispered in shock.

Wang Jian stood in the shadows, his eyes fixed on the elegant figure of Fen Shuying. She stood there, illuminated by the pale moonlight, her beauty otherworldly.

Her alabaster skin glowed in the light while her long locks of dark blue hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her large turquoise eyes sparkled in the darkness, drawing Wang Jian's gaze like a moth to a flame.

He was greatly delighted to witness her shocked expression.

'I can move forward to the second phase.'

He knew that Fen Shuying would seek confirmation regarding this letter from her father. He will definitely be forced to inform her of the truth.

This will only cement the fact in Fen Shuying's mind that he has been collaborating with Wang Jian.

Wang Jian's next task was to return to his mansion. He ordered his subordinates to spread the news and leak his illicit relationship with Su Xian and Kang Huian.

The source of this information would be his close guards and even the servants.

These individuals were startled to receive this order. They thought Wang Jian was planning to get rid of them.

However, after getting their pleas rejected repeatedly, they decided to go through with this order while setting up an escape plan.

The information travelled quickly as Wang Jian's fame was extremely high. Most people in Zhenguan Region were curious to know all information about him.

Some influential individuals in the region even approached those servants or guards personally to verify these rumours.

Through this method, the rumours were verified.

In response to these rumours, the first one to erupt was none other than Kang Fu! His eyes widened as he heard the rumours circulating about his daughter Kang Huian's illicit relationship with his enemy, Wang Jian.

He had always known Wang Jian to be a scheming, power-hungry man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. And now, his worst fears were being confirmed. He never expected that his daughter would be in an illicit relationship with this man!

Without wasting a single moment, Kang Fu headed towards Wang Jian's mansion. He needed to confront him about these rumours and get to the bottom of the situation.

The guards at the entrance led Kang Fu to Wang Jian. As he stepped inside the hall, he saw Kang Huian standing near Wang Jian, her head bowed down.

"Kang Huian," he called out, "Is it true what they are saying about you and Wang Jian?"

Kang Huian's eyes filled with tears as she remained silent. She knew that her father would be devastated by the truth, but she couldn't deny it. She had indeed become Wang Jian's woman in return for his help in saving her entire tribe.

Kang Fu's face turned red with anger as he glared at Wang Jian.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"Wang Jian! You dare take advantage of my daughter?!" Kang Fu shouted with his fury echoing inside the hall.

Kang Fu charged towards Wang Jian and channelled the Crimson Mammoth Fury within him, causing his muscles to bulge with power and his skin to turn a deep red.

With a roar, he unleashed a powerful punch towards Wang Jian, intending to crush him with his enhanced strength.

But Wang Jian was ready. As the punch connected with his guard, he channelled his Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Bloodline, allowing him to instantly boost his own strength and agility. He dodged the punch with ease and retaliated with a swift kick that sent Kang Fu flying across the room.

Kang Fu struggled to get up, his body aching from the impact. He glared at Wang Jian, realizing that his opponent was more powerful than he had ever imagined.

"It appears that your strength is only so-so," Wang Jian rolled his eyes in disdain.

He had actually only utilized Qi equivalent to an Origin Realm cultivator. He wanted to test the power of his bloodline. His physique had been enhanced twice by the bloodline and was considered exceptional even by demonic standards.

It appeared to be true as he easily managed to knock away Kang Fu, whose tribe's unique skill provided him with great physical strength.

Kang Fu gritted his teeth in frustration as he was knocked back by the force of Wang Jian's counterattack. Determined to keep fighting, he prepared to launch another powerful technique.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian's gaze remained fixed on Kang Huian, who stood beside him in utter disbelief at the turn of events.

Wang Jian's voice dripped with coldness as he spoke, "You ought to have been conscious of the fact that I have extended my mercy to him once already. You should not expect such leniency from me again."

"Father, please stop this. I beg of you," she pleaded. "I know that you are angry, but you cannot attack Wang Jian. It will only bring more harm to our tribe."

Kang Fu looked at his daughter, his expression softening. "Huian, do you not understand the severity of this situation? Wang Jian has betrayed my trust. He has forced himself upon you! He must pay for what he has done."

"…He didn't force himself on me, father. I…I was willing!" Kang Huian responded softly.

Kang Fu rose from his seat, his face ablaze with fury and his eyes bloodshot with anger. He fixed a scorching glare on Wang Jian before turning to face his daughter.

"How could you stoop so low, Kang Huian? You, who is the heiress of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe, actually agreed to be in an illicit relationship with this man despite having Lin Feng as your husband?! How dare you be disrespectful to the War God?!"

Wang Jian interrupted before Kang Huian could respond, his voice cold and calculated, "If that's the issue, then you shouldn't be worried, Kang Fu. She has already torn her marriage contract with Lin Feng. It's not wrong for a single woman to mingle, right?"

Kang Fu's fury intensified upon hearing Wang Jian's words, his eyes turning a deeper shade of red as his body trembled with rage. He could not believe that his daughter had been foolish enough to fall for the wiles of this scheming man.

"How dare you speak such lies!" Kang Fu roared, his voice echoing throughout the room. "My daughter would never break a marriage contract, especially not one that was signed with the War God himself as a witness! You are the one who has manipulated her, who has seduced her with your wicked ways!"

Kang Huian bowed her head in shame, her heart heavy with the weight of her father's disappointment. She knew that she had made a mistake, but she could not bring herself to regret her feelings for Wang Jian, no matter how forbidden they may be.

"Father, please," she begged, her voice trembling with emotion. "I know that I have made a mistake, but I beg of you to forgive me. I cannot change the past, but I will do everything in my power to make amends for my actions. Please, return to the tribe and put this matter behind you."

"I cannot believe you would be so foolish as to involve yourself with this man. You have broken a sacred vow that was made before the War God himself!" Kang Fu bellowed.

He glared at Wang Jian and added, "I will kill this bastard and free you even if this is the last thing that I do!"

"War God's Fury!"

As he speaks, Kang Fu's anger reaches a boiling point. His muscles bulge with power as he channels his Qi into a forbidden technique known only to the highest members of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe. This technique, called the War God's Fury, allows him to give up his own life force to boost his strength and Qi temporarily.

As Kang Fu channels the technique, his muscles bulge, and his veins pulse with power. His eyes glow with a fierce red light as he channels his life force to fuel the technique. The ground beneath him cracks as he takes a step forward, the air around him crackling with energy.

The War God's Fury not only increases the power of Kang Fu's Qi but also enhances his physical strength, speed, and agility to incredible levels. He becomes almost like a raging beast, his movements unpredictable and ferocious.

Wang Jian's expression becomes serious as he senses the incredible power of the War God's Fury.

Kang Huian, seeing the danger her father is in, rushes forward to plead with Wang Jian.

"Please, Wang Jian," she begs, her voice trembling with emotion. "Don't kill him. I'll do anything you ask in return. Please!"

Wang Jian rolled his eyes in disdain as he thought, 'Hmph. Do you think this is enough to convince me? You have already agreed to do anything I want!'

A sly smile did appear on his lips as he thought, '…If I kill Kang Fu here, it will be hard to control her. She might even kill herself in despair. If nothing else, I should prevent that from occurring.'

As Kang Fu charges at Wang Jian, the air around him ripples with energy and the ground trembles beneath his feet.

Wang Jian raised his right fist, his knuckles gleaming with an eerie blue light. He called this punch the Moonrise Fist, and it was said to be one of the most devastating skills from his Blue Moon Eclipse Dominion Devil Bloodline.

As Kang Fu charged forward with his War God's Fury technique, Wang Jian stood firm, his expression serious and focused. With a sudden burst of speed, he launched his punch towards Kang Fu's midsection. The force of the impact sent shockwaves through the air, and a loud boom echoed across the room.

Despite Kang Fu's impressive physical prowess, he was no match for Wang Jian's Moonrise Fist. Even though Wang Jian held back, the sheer power of the punch was enough to knock Kang Fu back several steps, leaving him gasping for air.

Wang Jian's eyes flickered with a cold light as he watched Kang Fu struggle to regain his footing. He knew that if he had used the Moonrise Fist at full strength, he could have easily killed the man. But he had no desire to shed blood unnecessarily.

Instead, he turned to Kang Huian, who was standing nearby, tears streaming down her face. "I won't kill your father," he said coldly, "but I suggest he leaves and doesn't return any time soon."

Kang Huian hurriedly went to her father's side and begged him to stop. "Father, please, I beg of you. Don't do this. Think of our tribe. Think of me," she pleaded, tears streaming down her face.

Meanwhile, Kang Fu thought about her words with a stern face. He weighed the options in his mind and realized that if he continued to be stubborn, he would lose not only his daughter but also his tribe. He couldn't bear the thought of that.

"You're right. I will stop this foolishness. But…I promise I will free you from this man one day!" Kang Fu said, his voice still filled with anger.

Kang Huian instinctively turned to Wang Jian to perceive his reaction and noticed a nonchalant look on his face. He didn't seem to care about Kang Fu's threat.

"Are you done?" Wang Jian lazily asked.

"Yes…" Kang Huian responded.

"Good. Then you can leave, Kang Fu," Wang Jian commanded.

His words truly annoyed Kang Fu, but he swallowed that frustration and left the hall.

Once he left, Wang Jian stared at Kang Huian and spoke with a depraved grin, "Now that's over with, let's go to my chamber. I should get some reward for my self-control, right?"

Kang Huian's expression turned pale as she knew exactly what he planned to do. Her legs quivered as if they recalled that sensation.

However, with no way to reject his advances, Kang Huian could only endure soundlessly.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

While Wang Jian was busy tormenting Kang Huian in his chambers, a dramatic event occurred in Night Dagger Clan's hideout.

Fen Shuying confronted her father, Fen Gen, regarding those notes she found outside her room.

Fen Gen was utterly shocked to read those notes. He realized that it was a message sent by Wang Jian.

"W-where did you find this?!" Fen Gen was shocked. He resisted the urge to rush towards the storage where he kept these letters.

"I am asking if what's written on it is true or not?!" Fen Shuying asked indignantly.

Noticing her father's failure to reply, a bad feeling arose in her heart. She clenched her fists while speaking, "Please say something. Say that it is a lie. Say that someone is just framing you!"

"…I…I can't even say those words, my dear," Fen Gen spoke with a forced smile.

"What do you mean, father?" Fen Shuying inquired with a frown on her face.

"…It's a long story, my dear. Sit down. Let's start from the beginning," Fen Gen spoke.

Thus, Fen Gen narrated the details of his secret collaboration with Wang Jian. He informed her how he was extorted and threatened into this collaboration.

He further told her how Wang Jian ordered him to incite the conflict between the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and the Miracle Angel Tribe.

He told her how he was delighted to hear this order as he could use this conflict to increase the power of the Night Dagger Clan in the Mellow Magnolia Woods while reducing his opponent's power.

He also informed his daughter that the second reason behind his actions was so that Lin Feng would greatly prioritize her over the heiresses of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe and the Miracle Angel Tribe.

Fen Shuying was mostly satisfied to hear these words. However, she had no idea that Fen Gen left out the parts where he assisted Wang Jian in wooing Lin Feng's women. This was the primary reason for their collaboration.

And this was all going as Wang Jian anticipated.

He knew that Fen Gen wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal the entire truth to his daughter. He would definitely tweak the story a bit.

"…W-What will we do if Lin Feng finds out about this?!" Fen Shuying asked with a terrified tone.

With a confident expression, Fen Gen spoke, "He will never find out about this. Only the two of us know of this, so how can he find out…"

Fen Gen trailed off as his eyes widened in realization.

'It's not just us two!'

Fen Gen stared at his daughter and thought of a terrifying possibility. He thought, 'Is he involved in this? If so, what is his aim, then? I must confront him immediately about this.'

Fen Gen had no idea that by this time, Lin Feng had already crossed the majority of Mellow Magnolia Woods to reach the battlefield where the three tribes had fought.

The Crimson Mammoth Tribe left the site to create a new hideout. Their tracks were rather fresh, with no attempts being made to conceal them.

Lin Feng and Han Xifeng ran speedily to catch up to the Crimson Mammoth Tribe members.

As Lin Feng and Han Xifeng approached the site, the Crimson Mammoth Tribe members noticed them and ran towards them. The warriors' faces lit up with joy as they saw Lin Feng, who was a respected figure in their tribe.

However, as they noticed Han Xifeng, their expressions turned into confusion and suspicion. Some warriors whispered to each other, "Isn't she the heiress of the Miracle Angel Tribe? What is she doing here with Lin Feng?"

They began to speculate among themselves about the reason for her presence. One warrior whispered, "Do you think Lin Feng is here to avenge Han Xifeng's tribe?"

These warriors didn't forget how they had just slaughtered the majority of members of the Miracle Angel Tribe. They thought that Lin Feng was coming to get justice for Han Xifeng.

However, the Crimson Mammoth Warriors weren't scared. They weren't in the wrong. It was the Miracle Angel Tribe who wanted to harm their heiress.

Lin Feng treated the warriors with a cold and uninviting demeanour. "I have come here to see Kang Fu," he stated bluntly.

One of the warriors, named Liu, stepped forward and responded, "Kang Fu is currently in the tribe's council hall. Follow me, and I will lead you there."

Lin Feng nodded and followed Liu, with Han Xifeng following him closely, leaving the rest of the warriors behind. The group continued on their journey to the council hall, with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors watching them suspiciously.

Lin Feng entered the tent where Kang Fu sat waiting for him. The leader of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe looked up as Lin Feng entered, his expression betraying no emotion.

"Lin Feng, what brings you here?" Kang Fu asked, his voice stern.

"I'm here to discuss the recent attack on the Miracle Angel Tribe," Lin Feng replied, his own voice cold.

Kang Fu's eyes narrowed. "The attack was justified," he said firmly. "They were planning to harm my daughter."

"I'm aware of that," Lin Feng replied. "But the attack went too far. Many innocent people were killed."

"As far as I am concerned, there were no innocent people among them!" Kang Fu growled.

"…It seems there is no use arguing with you," Lin Feng gritted his teeth.

"Yes, I was in the right. I will never forgive anyone who harms my family, no matter who he is!" Kang Fu spoke with a promise of threat.

"…Where is Kang Huian? I wanted to meet her. I can now treat her poison," Lin Feng spoke confidently.

Kang Fu's eyes gleamed with malice. "Ah, my daughter. She's not here if that's what you're wondering. She's in Wang Jian's mansion."

Lin Feng's face turned to one of shock and anger. Wang Jian was his sworn enemy, and the thought of Kang Huian being in his mansion made him seethe with fury.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"What is she doing there?" Lin Feng growled.

Kang Fu chuckled. "Isn't it obvious? I approached Wang Jian and begged him to heal her. Only the Royal Family could have a countermeasure to deal with that deadly poison. And as promised, my daughter is steadily recovering from that poison!"

Lin Feng's fists clenched in anger, but he refused to let Kang Fu see his emotions. "I don't believe you. There is no way Wang Jian could treat that poison! Where is she really?"

Kang Fu's expression turned to one of anger. "How dare you accuse me of lying? Kang Huian is not here, and that's final."

"…You leave me no choice then. I didn't want to use force, but it seems you won't agree otherwise!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, an old man who had been sitting silently in the council hall spoke up, "Lord Fu is speaking the truth. That lass is truly in Wang Jian's mansion. Moreover, there are rumours of her illicit relationship with him."

Han Xifeng was in utter disbelief and shock upon hearing those words, and she struggled to find the words to express her anger and frustration. Her eyes blazed with fury as she turned to Kang Fu. "Is this true?" she demanded.

"How could your daughter do this to your tribe and to Lin Feng? And how could you, as the leader of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe, let this happen?"

Kang Fu hung his head in shame. "I didn't want to believe it either, but the rumours have been spreading throughout the tribe for some time now," he said, his voice low and regretful. "I had hoped that they weren't true, but now it seems like they are."

Lin Feng's eyes widened with shock and anger at the revelation. "What are you saying? Wang Jian is my mortal enemy. How can Kang Huian be with him?" he demanded.

The old man sighed, "I have heard it from multiple sources. These rumours are as good as confirmed."

Lin Feng's voice was cold and hard as he spoke. "If Kang Huian is indeed in Wang Jian's mansion, then I will go there and bring her back to face judgment for her actions. And as for Wang Jian, I will deal with him in due time."

Kang Fu's expression turned icy, "It's not your job to discipline my daughter. If I find out that you've harmed her, I'll tear you apart!"

His threatening words echoed in the hall, leaving Lin Feng and Han Xifeng shaken.

With a derisive snort, Lin Feng turned and left the hall. He knew there was no point in arguing with the obstinate man. Lin Feng would have to confirm the rumours himself, or he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

After the two left the hall, Lin Feng approached his close friends in the Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

These were his true comrades he had developed after several spars, and Lin Feng trusted them with his life.

As Lin Feng and Han Xifeng approached them, they initially talked about random matters.

Finally, Lin Feng got to the topic as he asked, "Is it true? Are there really rumours about Huian's illicit relationship with Wang Jian?"

"…You are my good friend, Feng, so I won't lie to you," A man named Wei spoke seriously.

"Please don't," Lin Feng assured with a smile.

"…I personally think that the rumors are true," Wei spoke. As he noticed Lin Feng's smile dropping, he added, "Now, don't look at me like that. Listen to me properly."

Wei then informed Lin Feng of all that occurred while he was gone. He informed Lin Feng of how long Kang Huian was missing. He also mentioned how Wang Jian suddenly arrived in the Crimson Mammoth Tribe's hideout when most of their warriors were struck with some strange poison of the Miracle Angel Tribe.

It was Wang Jian who treated him of that poison.

Han Xifeng let out a startled gasp as she heard this part. She now understood why the Crimson Mammoth Warriors were all healthy despite a majority of them suffering from that venom.

Wei informed Lin Feng how Kang Huian had come along with Wang Jian, and the two were basically snuggling on the chariot.

Kang Huian wasn't even objecting to his advances! It was a strange sight for all members of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe.

And a day ago, the rumors of Wang Jian and Kang Huian spread. And right after these rumors reached the Crimson Mammoth Warriors, Kang Fu visited Wang Jian's mansion.

Wei had no idea of what had occurred in the mansion, but he felt that it was clear what had occurred as Kang Fu came alone.

Lin Feng's countenance gradually contorted with displeasure as he continued to hear his companion's words. The maxim that truth can often be unpalatable rang true to him, and he could not deny the bitter reality of the situation that had been presented before him.

"In fact, there is another tidbit of gossip that has been making rounds," Wei spoke suddenly.

Lin Feng's countenance turned sour as he prodded, "What is it?"

Wei was apprehensive about divulging the information, but having brought up the subject, he could not retreat. Moreover, it was better for his comrade to be enlightened sooner rather than later.

Wei took a deep breath before continuing. "There's a rumor going around that Su Xian has also been seen with Wang Jian," he said, watching as Lin Feng's expression shifted from anger to shock and disbelief.

"What? That can't be true," Lin Feng said, his voice rising in volume. "Su Xian and I have known each other since childhood. She would never do something like that."

"I know it's hard to believe," Wei said, placing a hand on Lin Feng's shoulder. "But I've heard it from several sources. It's best if you are prepared."

Lin Feng shook his head, his mind reeling. He couldn't believe that the woman he had loved for so long could betray him like this. "I'll investigate it," he said, his voice flat.

Wei nodded, knowing that there was nothing more he could do or say. Lin Feng was a man of action, and he would get to the bottom of this.

Han Xifeng was once again shocked to know that another dear woman of Lin Feng had betrayed him for Wang Jian.

She asked Wei suddenly, "Can you tell me about the Night Dagger Clan? Since when have they been collaborating with your tribe?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wei paused as he glanced at Lin Feng's face.

Lin Feng noticed his apprehensiveness and spoke, "Please tell us the truth. I will make sure your name never comes up. And if it does, I will protect you."

Upon hearing that solemn vow, Wei spoke, "…According to my sources, I have a feeling that the Night Dagger Clan has been collaborating with us before this battle began. They did assist the Miracle Angel Tribe quite a bit, but it was all a ruse to win their trust. After they gained your trust, it was easy for them to toss you into a trap."

Han Xifeng gritted her teeth as she heard those words. She knew it was a simple strategy, but the Miracle Angel Tribe still fell for it.

All the warriors of the Miracle Angel Tribe are dead. Only weak women and children were left in the Miracle Angel Tribe's hideout.

Even a local bandit gang could take over that hideout without major losses.

'…Those backstabbing bastards! I will never rest until I make them pay for their actions,' Han Xifeng's hatred boosted greatly upon hearing Wei's words.

"…Let's go," said Han Xifeng as she turned in Lin Feng's direction.

Lin Feng agreed with her. They could do nothing from here.

After leaving the Crimson Mammoth Tribe's hideout, Han Xifeng and Lin Feng began discussing their next course of action.

"How do you think we should proceed? If what your friend said is true, then Kang Huian and Su Xian have already fallen in Wang Jian's clutches," Han Xifeng spoke.

"…I need to personally verify it," Lin Feng spoke with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"I hope Shuying hasn't fallen for him. That would be terrible," Han Xifeng spoke with a cunning gleam in her eyes.

Lin Feng didn't respond to her words, but he feared the same.

~~

In the meantime, Wang Jian had finished having fun with Kang Huian. As the two lay naked on the bed, Kang Huian asked him, "…You really are a beast."

The battle on the bed had been intense. Wang Jian had forced her to do many humiliating poses, including a cowgirl position, fucking her from behind, a blowjob, titty fuck, and many more.

"I will take that as a compliment," Wang Jian chuckled.

"…You still haven't healed my poison. I hope you don't forget that in your fun," Kang Huian spoke coldly.

"Oh, that. I did forget about it. Thanks for reminding me of it," Wang Jian acted genuinely surprised.

He raised his arm, and his Qi flooded Kang Huian's body.

Kang Huian felt this Qi injected into her veins forcibly. This Qi gathered all that venom within her blood and guided it towards a specific spot near the veins in her arm.

A slight cut appeared on her arm, and this Devil Venom spurted out of it. It gushed at an unbelievable speed that Kang Huian found inconceivable.

"W-What?! Didn't you need to use those meridian points on my chest?!" Kang Huian inquired with a shocked expression.

Wang Jian rolled his eyes nonchalantly, "C'mon, don't act so surprised. You should have realized by now that it was all a ruse to take advantage of you. Otherwise, how could I touch, pinch, and even squeeze that wonderful chest?"

"Actually, I could do it by forcing myself upon you. But where is the fun in that? It's fun only if I get your permission," Wang Jian spoke.

"Y-you…You think this is a game…" Kang Huian spoke with a shocked expression.

Wang Jian responded casually, "Well, how else would you describe yourself? You are just a game to me. I hope you don't become boring for me. See ya, my dear."

After saying those words, Wang Jian left his chambers.

Just as he was heading towards the hall, a maid approached him with an urgent look on her face, "Sir, Su Xian wanted to meet you."

A smile appeared on Wang Jian's face, "Oh really? Lead me to her."

Very soon, the two arrived in Su Xian's chambers. However, before even entering her chambers, a smile broke out on Wang Jian's face as he sensed an interesting thing.

"Ah, Jian, you have finally arrived," Su Xian greeted Wang Jian with an intimate tone. It was expected, after all, that Wang Jian had elevated her status from a mere servant to one of his cherished companions.

"Excellent. I intended to pay you a visit, my dear. And it seems that you have some good news for me," Wang Jian replied, his lips curving into a sly smile.

"Oh, it's nothing really significant. I merely advanced to the Origin Realm," Su Xian spoke with an attempt at nonchalance, but her voice betrayed her excitement.

With a chuckle, Wang Jian pulled Su Xian into his arms and caressed her hair while holding her close.

"If advancing to the Origin Realm were so easy, then the cultivators stuck at the peak of the Spirit Realm should just kill themselves," he remarked, his voice laced with a hint of amusement.

"Hehe…" Su Xian giggled upon hearing his words. She was happy to receive his recognition. This was exactly what she wanted.

"You really worked hard. It seems you are serious about becoming an important woman for me," Wang Jian whispered lovingly as he planted light kisses on her neck.

His right hand was already caressing her lovely buttocks and sometimes even squeezing it. Su Xian moaned while her hands roamed all over Wang Jian's torso.

She inhaled his scent, and a sudden frown appeared on her face.

"Why do you have such a strong scent of a woman on you?" Su Xian inquired suddenly.

Wang Jian smiled after hearing this question, "Why don't you take a guess?"

With a frown, Su Xian asked, "Was it that woman? Kang Huian?"

"Amazing. You guessed it perfectly. You really are sharp," Wang Jian spoke.

"…So, that is why you didn't visit me yesterday and the day before?" Su Xian asked enviously.

Wang Jian responded, "Yes." He didn't have to lie to Su Xian about it, as he had nothing to fear.

"She must be very good. Otherwise, she couldn't have wrapped you around her finger like that," Su Xian spoke bitterly.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

"New toys are very exciting. But only for a certain period. I get bored of them soon," Wang Jian responded.

"So, she is like a toy to you?" Su Xian asked.

"Obviously. You think I will love her. It will take effort to make me love someone. Effort and dedication that matches yours," Wang Jian stated.

"You love me?!" Su Xian was flabbergasted to hear this revelation.

With a sly smile, Wang Jian responded, "Not yet. You need to step up your game, or you will lose me."

Su Xian cutely pouted upon hearing those words.

"…I will do my best," Su Xian spoke.

"Good. You can go and read all the cultivation or martial techniques available in the martial hall. I don't want you to be a paper tiger that only has cultivation with no skills to back it up," Wang Jian spoke with a solemn tone.

"T-thank you!" Su Xian spoke earnestly. She knew that this was a huge deal. It meant Wang Jian truly trusted her.

Actually, Wang Jian had ulterior motives behind giving her this reward. He knew her physique, the Innate Energy Vessel, was quite special. Her cultivation was extremely quick compared to her peers and her pool of Qi was much larger as well.

If she combines her talent with an appropriate cultivation technique and martial skills, she will be a force to reckon with.

"Start from the basics and make sure to read all about the martial arts and even about cultivation. I heard that you had a good memory and excelled in theory subjects in the academy. Don't disappoint me," Wang Jian speaks.

"I won't disappoint you, Jian!" Su Xian spoke.

She then tip-toed and lightly kissed Wang Jian's lips before freeing herself from his tight embrace and heading towards the martial hall.

Wang Jian had a bright smile on his face as he saw her reaction.

He then decided to check out the system notifications he had received.

And Wang Jian was startled as this time he had received almost 70,000 Destiny Points.

50,000 Destiny Points were received from Kang Huian, while the rest twenty thousand were split evenly between Lin Feng and Su Xian.

Wang Jian was shocked because Kang Huian was no longer a virgin as he had sex with her. So, he was puzzled about why he would receive so many points from her.

However, as he read the system's notifications properly, he understood the reasons.

It was all because Wang Jian had sex with Kang Huian in so many new ways, which greatly humiliated her. Each one was worse than the last one.

The blowjob and the titty fuck earned him a huge amount of destiny points.

"It seems she is still a fat sheep. Hehe…" Wang Jian whispered with a depraved smile as he thought of more ways he could enjoy that luscious body.

Wang Jian continued to read the notifications regarding the destiny points he earned from Lin Feng and Su Xian.

The reason for earning destiny points from Su Xian was rather simple. It was all because of her submissiveness. Her happiness to be with Wang Jian.

The notifications that truly caught Wang Jian's interest were the ones regarding Lin Feng.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully affected Protagonist Lin Feng's mentality. You are awarded with 1000 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully destroyed Protagonist Lin Feng's mentality. You are awarded with 1000 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully broken Protagonist Lin Feng and Kang Fu's relationship. You are awarded with 3000 Destiny Points.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully shocked Protagonist Lin Feng to the core. You are awarded with 1000 Destiny Points.]

There were a couple more notifications similar to these.

It made Wang Jian realize that Lin Feng must have heard the rumors. And considering how one of the notifications mentioned that Lin Feng and Kang Fu's relationship had broken, it was easy to guess Lin Feng's location.

He must have visited the Crimson Mammoth Warriors and came to know the truth.

"Upgrade the Tranquil Mind Divine Mantra."

Wang Jian instantly felt a strange energy seeping into his mind. His cultivation technique worked automatically and powered up the Tranquil Mind Divine Mantra technique.

Pretty soon, the technique advanced to the King Realm.

Now, Wang Jian didn't need to be worried about any strange outbursts due to his devil blood.

"…Alright. It's time to meet Fen Gen," Wang Jian whispered to himself.

As the sun began to set, Wang Jian prepared to depart for the Night Dagger Clan's hideout, eager to meet with Fen Gen. He had already made the necessary arrangements and had Kang Huian, his maid, accompany him on this journey.

As they approached the golden chariot, Kang Huian couldn't help but feel humiliated by the situation. Being treated as a mere servant was not something she was accustomed to, but she had no other choice than to do as Wang Jian ordered.

Once on the chariot, Wang Jian sat at the seat prepared for him while he had Kang Huian sit on his lap as he hugged her voluptuous body.

The ride was smooth, thanks to the skilled driver who handled the chariot with ease, gliding through the uneven terrain with minimal effort.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky painted itself with shades of orange and pink.

The chariot continued its journey, and the sky slowly turned darker, the stars beginning to twinkle in the sky. Wang Jian sat deep in thought, pondering about the impending meeting with Fen Gen, while Kang Huian sat quietly, her mind preoccupied with her current predicament.

Finally, after a few hours of travel, the chariot came to a halt. They had arrived at the Night Dagger Clan's hideout.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

As Wang Jian's chariot approached the Night Dagger Clan's hideout, the members had already caught a glimpse of it from afar.

One of them immediately informed Fen Gen of the arrival, and he couldn't help but feel a foul mood creeping over him. He had kept his collaboration with Wang Jian a secret from the rest of the clan, especially his daughter Fen Shuying, who had accidentally discovered it.

However, with no other choice, Fen Gen stepped out to meet Wang Jian.

His eyes widened in surprise as he saw Kang Huian sitting on Wang Jian's lap in an intimate position. His shock was evident as he realized that Wang Jian had truly made Kang Huian submit to him.

Wang Jian's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he caught sight of Fen Gen's bewildered expression. With a quick flick of his wrist, he let go of Kang Huian, who had been sitting on his lap in an intimate position. His voice was low and formal as he addressed the Night Dagger Clan's leader.

"I come with a proposition for an alliance, Fen Gen," Wang Jian said, his tone grave and solemn.

Fen Gen's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Wang Jian, wondering what kind of scheme he was concocting. Nevertheless, he sensed an opportunity in the air, a chance to keep their collaboration hidden from prying eyes.

"Very well," Fen Gen said, masking his suspicion with a cool facade. "Let us adjourn inside, Lord Wang. We have much to discuss."

As they entered the grand hall, Wang Jian looked around, taking in the surroundings. Fen Gen led the way towards the centre, where the tribe elders were sitting, discussing their matters. They turned to look as they entered, but their faces were soon masked in confusion upon seeing Wang Jian.

Fen Gen cleared his throat and spoke in a formal tone, "These are the elders of my tribe."

After they left, Wang Jian took a seat on the grand throne-like chair while Fen Gen sat opposite to him, on a much lower seat. Kang Huian stood behind Wang Jian as if she were a loyal servant.

Wang Jian cleared his throat and began, "I came today to discuss a possible alliance with you."

"Why so suddenly? And what will the Night Dagger Clan get in return for accepting this alliance?" Fen Gen responded, his voice calm and clear.

Wang Jian chuckled, "You really know how to joke, Fen Gen. My authority is clearly superior compared to the Night Dagger Clan, so it should be me who gets something, not your clan. However, I wouldn't demand anything from you because you did help me quite a bit through that secret collaboration."

Fen Gen was taken aback at the directness of Wang Jian's words. He looked towards Kang Huian, who had her head bowed. Even she had her eyes widened upon hearing this information.

To think that the Night Dagger Clan was colluding with Wang Jian!

"I had hoped that this information would remain confidential," Fen Gen replied, his voice low and tense.

Wang Jian spoke, "Oh, Fen Gen, you know better than to trust anyone with secrets. But don't worry. I'm here to help you keep it hidden."

Fen Gen gritted his teeth, feeling trapped. He knew that he was in no position to refuse Wang Jian's offer. He leaned forward and spoke indignantly, "Why are you forcing this on me? Didn't we agree to not contact each other?!"

Wang Jian reclined in his seat, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "The tides have turned. Lin Feng has made his return and has already had an encounter with Han Xifeng," he announced.

Fen Gen was dumbfounded by the news. "How is that possible?!" he exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Wang Jian responded calmly, "I don't know. It seems their meeting was purely coincidental."

Fen Gen's face turned grim as he processed the information. He was well aware that Han Xifeng's hatred for the Night Dagger Clan must run deep due to the recent events.

"That bitch must have turned Lin Feng against us," Fen Gen said indignantly.

"That's why I have come to present you with this solution. Instead of secretly supporting each other, I guess it's time our factions ally openly," Wang Jian suggested.

Fen Gen was forced into silence upon hearing those words. He couldn't help but stare at Kang Huian for some time before adding, "…But my reason for secretly collaborating with you was to grab Lin Feng's entire attention for my daughter. If I do get into an alliance with you, Lin Feng will definitely break all connections with my clan."

Wang Jian let out a low chuckle, a knowing glint in his eyes as he spoke, "Resolving your issues, Fen Gen, is not as daunting a task as you might think. In fact, the Night Dagger Clan would be able to reap the best of both worlds."

Kang Huian's curiosity was piqued by Wang Jian's words. Though she could surmise the gist of their conversation, she remained oblivious to the solution he had up his sleeve - one that would bestow such lucrative benefits upon the Night Dagger Clan.

Wang Jian proceeded to elaborate on his proposal, his voice low and measured. "Lin Feng will inevitably come to the Night Dagger Clan, sooner or later. If not for you, then for your daughter. Meet him and inform him that I coerced you into this alliance. Tell your daughter the same, and she will do the rest. If he meets her first and hears the same story, he should believe her. And once he hears this information, he will undoubtedly seek you out for answers."

Fen Gen listened intently, nodding along to Wang Jian's words. The plan seemed like an effective strategy to convince Lin Feng that the Night Dagger Clan was forced into this alliance.

"You can then persuade him that I forced your hand into this alliance. Additionally, you can ask him to accept your daughter, as she had no involvement in the Miracle Angel Tribe's demise. You know him better than I do. He is not the sort of person to bring harm to his wife's tribe."

Fen Gen mulled over the idea, his face serious as he considered the risks and benefits. On the one hand, it would ensure the safety and prosperity of his clan. But on the other hand, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was betraying his daughter's trust by involving her in such a deceitful ploy.

Kang Huian's eyes widened in disbelief as Wang Jian explained his meticulous plan, 'It's no wonder he was able to trap my father and me.'

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Wang Jian caught a glimpse of her reaction from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but feel gratified. It was an indescribable feeling whenever he witnessed someone so flabbergasted by his cleverness.

"…So, what do you say to this alliance, Fen Gen?" Wang Jian inquired.

"It seems good for me. But what do you get out of this alliance?" Fen Gen asked.

"…I get to ask you to conduct tasks for me. There are some tasks that your clan is perfect for. I am sure you know what tasks I am talking about," Wang Jian stated with a sly grin.

Fen Gen nodded calmly and spoke, "Very well, I agree to this alliance."

"Good," Wang Jian spoke.

Wang Jian's lips curled into a sly smile, "Since we are now allies, let me offer you another valuable piece of advice. After our alliance is made known, you should pay Lin Feng a visit before he has the chance to come to you. Of course, you cannot make this move too hastily. Wait a few days before making your appearance."

Fen Gen was visibly pleased with Wang Jian's second suggestion, and his earlier misgivings about the alliance had vanished.

"Alright. That's all I came to say. I will now take my leave," Wang Jian spoke.

"You can visit anytime you want. We are officially in an alliance," Fen Gen spoke with a grin.

With a nod, Wang Jian left the hall with Kang Huian following him closely.

As Wang Jian left, Fen Gen's grin morphed into a puzzled expression. He was truly confused at this point.

In this meeting, Fen Gen could glean that Wang Jian genuinely wanted him to have Lin Feng's support. If so, then who could have written that letter? And how did it reach his daughter?

These became mysteries that Fen Gen had no answers to.

Fen Gen, however, didn't pay these mysteries much heed as he gathered the elders and informed them of this news.

He also began preparations to broadcast this news in the entire Zhenguan Region. He wanted Lin Feng to hear this news quickly.

In the meantime, Lin Feng and Han Xifeng were confined to the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair, with no other options available.

After leaving the Crimson Mammoth Tribe's lair, they weighed various courses of action, but Han Xifeng remained deeply concerned for her tribe's well-being.

Having lost so many powerful cultivators, the tribe was vulnerable to any new threats that might arise.

Thus, the two of them arrived at the tribe's lair, ruminating on how best to proceed.

"Perhaps I could stealthily infiltrate Wang Jian's grand estate and have a clandestine meeting with them," Lin Feng suggested, his voice laced with uncertainty.

Han Xifeng quickly dissented, "Wang Jian's abode is safeguarded by a plethora of sentinels and detectors. The instant you enter their radar, you'll be exposed. You won't have a chance to converse with them."

Lin Feng sighed, "You are right. Blast! What options do I have?"

"For now, it's best we wait for an opportunity," Han Xifeng suggested.

Lin Feng clenched his fists upon hearing that advice, but what other option did he have? Suddenly, he recalled that command seal Jin Meixiang had given him.

Lin Feng had a feeling that Jin Meixiang must belong to an important clan, or else she couldn't have entered this restricted region and then left it.

'Maybe I can use it to leave this region as well.'

The guards over the restricted area could let him pass if he showed them this command seal.

'It will be easy to defeat that bastard Wang Jian if I get sister Mei's assistance,' Lin Feng thought.

However, he didn't take this decision till now because he knew that it would be impossible to convince Han Xifeng to leave her tribe and this region.

'Darn it! I can only wait for an opportunity!'

The sun rose and set, the stars twinkled in the sky, and the cool breeze rustled the leaves of the trees around him. Before he knew it, two days had already passed.

On this particular day, Han Xifeng took a trip to the village market to acquire the essential supplies for her tribe.

While strolling through the village, she came across a rumour concerning the Night Dagger Clan's association with Wang Jian.

As she heard this news, Han Xifeng's eyes grew inflamed with anger, yet there was also a hint of exhilaration in her gaze, as she felt that this information might provoke Lin Feng into taking decisive action. Something that would potentially bring harm to the Night Dagger Clan.

She quickly rushed back to the tribe. Unknown to her, some shadowy figures had seen her. In fact, these people made sure she came across this news.

After completing their task, they rushed to inform their master of this news.

~~

"Brother Feng. I came across terrible news. The Night Dagger Clan has joined hands with Wang Jian!" Han Xifeng spoke.

"…What?!" Lin Feng bellowed in shock.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Miracle Angel Tribe gritted their teeth in anger.

"I knew that tribe was up to no good! They even formed an alliance with our holy son's hated enemy!" One of the Miracle Angel Tribe members spoke in frustration.

"Hmph. Their greed knows no bounds. To think they would even betray the holy son's trust like that."

Meanwhile, Lin Feng couldn't help but clench his fists in anger, "Damnit. Just what is going on?!"

Han Xifeng observed his reaction and couldn't help but frown. She thought he would be angry enough to immediately go and destroy the Night Dagger Clan.

"…Didn't I mention it to you earlier? Shuying must have also given herself away to Wang Jian. This alliance could be a prelude to their relationship announcement," Han Xifeng spoke.

"Shut it!" Lin Feng shouted instinctively.

"…I-I apologize. I didn't meet to hurt your feelings," Han Xifeng sobbed as she spoke.

Lin Feng's heart softened as he saw her sobbing. He spoke, "I wasn't angry at you, my dear. It's just that I can't believe Shuying would betray me."

"…But then what is this alliance? Why wouldn't Shuying be opposed to it?!" Han Xifeng asked indignantly.

"I don't know. But my intuition says that she isn't a part of this," Lin Feng responded softly.

"Alright. If you say so," Han Xifeng rolled her eyes as she left the lair.

If she remained with Lin Feng any longer, Han Xifeng would explode and reveal her true thoughts. She needed to regain her composure and consider the situation logically.

Han Xifeng decided to take a leisurely walk through the Mellow Magnolia Woods, keeping close to her tribe's lair.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the trees, asking a sinister question, "Do you thirst for retribution?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

The eerie and mysterious voice caught Han Xifeng off guard, causing her to jump in surprise.

"W-what?"

"If you want vengeance, then come and beg me. Your wish will be fulfilled at an appropriate cost," The voice spoke.

Han Xifeng immediately turned and rushed towards her hideout.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian had a sinister smile on his face as he witnessed her reaction. This was going all according to the plan.

A few days later, Fen Gen arrived outside the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair with a small group of his loyal guards. In fact, he had set up a camp near the lair, hidden behind a cluster of large rocks and trees.

He had sent a letter to the Miracle Angel Tribe, which stated his desire to meet Lin Feng.

Lin Feng initially frowned upon hearing of this letter and felt inclined to visit the camp. However, the entire Miracle Angel Tribe was in an uproar!

"How dare this devious clan to have the guts to come so close to our tribe?! They really don't put us in their eyes!"

"Let's fight them. If we die, so be it!"

"…I am opposed to this. If we fight these bastards, our children will suffer the aftereffects. We can't leave them alone."

"But what should we do?! How long should we endure this humiliation?!"

While the entire tribe was raging, Han Xifeng was also affected by her tribe member's emotions. She stared at Lin Feng while thinking profoundly that it would be best if he enacted vengeance on her tribe's behalf.

Only Lin Feng possessed the power to enact vengeance on their behalf.

However, Lin Feng showed a puzzled expression. It didn't seem as though he was in favour of harming the Night Dagger Clan yet.

"…I will visit the Night Dagger Clan and see what they have to say," Lin Feng suddenly spoke.

"Holy Son, it will be dangerous if you go alone! There is no telling what those devious bastards are planning!"

"I can take care of myself. And this is my final decision!" Lin Feng spoke decisively.

Han Xifeng approached Lin Feng with a heavy heart and whispered, "…Be careful."

"I will be."

Very soon, Lin Feng left the Miracle Angel Tribe's lair to meet Fen Gen. As he entered the camp, the guards led him straight to Fen Gen's tent and left.

Lin Feng's heart was pounding with anticipation as he met with Fen Gen.

"Father-in-law, how is Fen Shuying?" Lin Feng asked anxiously, his mind racing with thoughts of his beloved fiancé.

"She has been missing you quite a bit these past few days. She's worried about you," Fen Gen replied with a reassuring smile.

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that his fiancé was doing well.

"Thank you for telling me, father-in-law. I appreciate it."

Fen Gen then explained to Lin Feng that the alliance with Wang Jian was not their idea but was forced upon them.

"We had no choice. Wang Jian is a very powerful man, and we couldn't afford to cross him. But know that our loyalty to you has not wavered."

Lin Feng's disappointment was evident on his face as he spoke, "I understand the situation, father-in-law, but the Night Dagger Clan's actions in the battle were unjust. You betrayed the Miracle Angel Tribe at the last moment and joined hands with the Crimson Mammoth Tribe. This is not something I can forgive easily."

Fen Gen hung his head in shame, "I know, son-in-law. We were wrong to do that. But please believe me when I say that this was the only way I could see the tribe's prosperity. If the Miracle Angel Tribe had won the battle against the Crimson Mammoth Tribe, it would have changed the power dynamics greatly. Without the presence of the Crimson Mammoth Tribe, it would have been difficult to keep the beasts in the northern region of Mellow Magnolia Woods in check."

"Once the Crimson Mammoth Tribe is destroyed, the next target of the beasts would be my clan. I couldn't allow my clan members to face such a calamity."

Lin Feng remained unconvinced, but he knew he couldn't push the matter further at the moment. "I understand, father-in-law. But please remember that Wang Jian is my enemy. I will not rest until I have brought him to justice."

Fen Gen nodded in agreement, "I understand, my son. We will do everything in our power to support you."

Lin Feng was relieved to hear Fen Gen's words and visibly relaxed.

The two continued their conversation as Fen Gen began to talk about some random topics. He wanted to keep his relationship with Lin Feng cordial, so he had naturally come prepared.

Fen Gen even brought some of his clan's heirlooms. A cloak, dagger, and light shoes.

Lin Feng was delighted to test them all. And without him realizing it, a couple of hours passed.

As the hours passed, the members of the Miracle Angel Tribe grew increasingly restless. They began to speculate amongst themselves, wondering why Lin Feng had not returned yet. Some feared that the Night Dagger Clan had harmed him, while others worried that he might have been taken hostage.

In the corner of the tribe, a group of young warriors whispered amongst themselves, their voices hushed and filled with concern.

"What do you think is taking him so long?" one of them asked.

"I don't know," another replied, "but I fear for his safety. The Night Dagger Clan is not to be trusted."

A few of the older members of the tribe, who had seen more battles than the younger ones, tried to reassure them. "Lin Feng is a skilled warrior," one of them said. "He knows how to take care of himself. We should have faith in him."

But their words did little to assuage the younger members' fears. They continued to fret and speculate, wondering what could be taking Lin Feng so long to return.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

As Han Xifeng listened to the discussions of the Miracle Angel Tribe members, her heart filled with unease. She knew that Lin Feng was a smart man, but the Night Dagger Clan was notorious for their treachery. What if they had persuaded him to switch sides? What if he had already pledged his allegiance to them?

The very thought sent a chill down her spine. If Lin Feng turned to the Night Dagger Clan, all hope of avenging the fallen warriors of the Miracle Angel Tribe would be lost. She had sworn an oath to avenge their deaths, and she would do whatever it took to make that happen.

Han Xifeng clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with fierce determination. She wouldn't let anyone stand in her way, not even Lin Feng.

At this moment, Han Xifeng recalled that voice in the woods. She remembered that location perfectly.

'No. I shouldn't believe that suspicious voice. What if it's a ruse? Moreover, it mentioned a certain price. What if the price is the lives of all my tribe members? No…I can't trust it.'

Buried deep within Han Xifeng's heart, there was a flicker of hope that Lin Feng would return with a burning fury directed towards the Night Dagger Clan. It was a nearly impossible prospect, yet Han Xifeng could not help but cling to it with all her might.

Han Xifeng's current state of mind can be attributed to a psychological phenomenon called confirmatory bias. This is when people tend to seek out information that confirms their beliefs while disregarding evidence that contradicts them.

In Han Xifeng's case, she desperately wants to believe that Lin Feng will return and the Night Dagger Clan will get what they deserve. Despite the slim chance of this happening, she is likely to interpret information in a way that supports this belief. This reinforces her belief and makes it harder for her to consider other possibilities.

After several hours, Lin Feng returned to the lair.

He was immediately surrounded by the tribe's members. They bombarded him with questions about how the meeting went and what was discussed, but Lin Feng simply gave vague and empty responses.

The tribe members exchanged frustrated glances and began to push him for more information. But before they could get any further, Han Xifeng appeared and ordered them not to disturb him.

"Leave him be," she said firmly. "Lin Feng needs rest after that long meeting."

The tribe members reluctantly backed off but still looked dissatisfied with the situation. Han Xifeng then took Lin Feng to a secluded location, away from the prying eyes of the tribe members.

"Lin Feng, what happened?" she asked him, her voice softening.

"It was a long discussion, and Fen Gen revealed some important information," replied Lin Feng, still sounding distant.

"Like what?" asked Han Xifeng, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Night Dagger Clan didn't really betray us. They had no choice but to ally with Wang Jian as that bastard had threatened them into it."

"And as for betraying the Miracle Angel Tribe, it was to prevent the beasts in the north from reaching his clan."

As Lin Feng spoke, Han Xifeng's eyes turned red as she bellowed, "Bullshit! The Night Dagger Clan has many hideouts! They could have easily relocated to another hideout and saved themselves from the beasts."

"…Yes. I also wasn't convinced by this reasoning. However, Xifeng, Fen Gen still swore loyalty to me."

Han Xifeng muttered, "What use is that bogus allegiance?"

Lin Feng put a hand on her shoulder. "I know it's hard to accept, but we have to be realistic. We can't fight against the whole world. Our primary enemy is Wang Jian, and we require all the help to take him down!"

Han Xifeng looked up at Lin Feng with a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes, "But at what cost, Lin Feng? The lives of my tribe members were sacrificed for nothing."

Lin Feng shook his head, "I understand, Xifeng. But you must endure. I can punish them for you once we take down Wang Jian."

Han Xifeng's mind raged upon hearing those words, and she instinctively clenched her fists. But she didn't want to show these emotions to Lin Feng, so she put on a brave front and nodded, "I understand, Lin Feng. I won't let my emotions cloud my judgment."

Lin Feng gave her a small smile of appreciation. "That's my girl."

As Lin Feng reached out to take Han Xifeng's hand, he intended to lead her for a romantic stroll in the serene surroundings. However, to his surprise, Han Xifeng abruptly withdrew her hand and hastened away from the spot.

The abruptness of her departure left Lin Feng befuddled and hurt, wondering if there was something he had done wrong. The once peaceful and picturesque location now seemed sombre and desolate to him as he watched Han Xifeng's silhouette disappear into the distance.

Han Xifeng's heart was shattered into a million pieces as she realized that all her hopes for revenge were futile. The last flicker of hope she held onto was now snuffed out, and she was left in despair.

She could see it in Lin Feng's eyes. He had no intentions of seeking retribution for her tribe's fallen warriors. It seemed as though he had forgiven the Night Dagger Clan, and Han Xifeng believed that he didn't care about their treacherous actions anymore.

As Han Xifeng continued to brood over her thoughts, they took a dark turn. She thought of ways to avenge her tribe, even if it meant using the most despicable means.

Her angelic wings suddenly appeared on her back, and they began to darken as if reflecting the darkness that had taken hold of her heart.

She had always been the epitome of grace and kindness, but the betrayal of her tribe and the perceived apathy of her fiancé had driven her to a dark place. Her thoughts turned to revenge, and she began to envision the destruction of the Night Dagger Clan.

The more she dwelled on these thoughts, the more her wings darkened until they were no longer the pure white they once were.
