Dustin was the King of Hades. Throughout his life, countless women had crossed his path and many of them had been stunningly beautiful, yet none had ever stirred any emotions in his heart, except one. Simone… She was the light that broke through the darkest chapter of his life! To lay a hand on Simone Langley was to trigger Dustin’s wrath. Dustin had stationed elite guards from Hell Hall to protect the Langley family and made it nearly impossible for anyone to harm them. Elijah would find no opening to act. Even so, just the mention of her was enough to ignite Dustin’s fury. “Elijah, you must have a death wish!” Dustin growled with an unmistakable killing intent. “Oh? Did I just hit a nerve?” Elijah sneered. He was oblivious to the magnitude of his mistake. “Are you angry? Do you want to kill me now?” he said tauntingly. “But what can you even do? Right now, you’re at my mercy. If I tell you to kneel, you’ll kneel. If I tell you to beg, you’ll beg! Do you have a

In the stillness of the night, a figure leaped effortlessly across the rooftops near the meeting hall of the Lotus Sect. “What kind of trouble is that kid stirring up again?” Joseph’s face darkened as he descended toward the meeting hall. His residence was far from here, so he had not immediately noticed when a commotion broke out. It was not until he heard the chaos from the Lotus Sect that he rushed over. He did not need to guess. Dustin had undoubtedly caused this. He was a troublemaker. Wherever Dustin was, peace was never an option. “I went through so much effort to recruit a disciple at this martial arts competition. That brat better not ruin it!” A sense of dread crept in as Joseph quickened his pace. Just moments ago, he had sensed the uproar from his room. But when he arrived, the eerie silence only heightened his unease. As he strode into the meeting hall, one glance at the scene of devastation made him freeze. The bodies scattered across the floo

Elijah felt like his brain had completely shut down. It was as if it had turned to mush. He even began to doubt his hearing. The Dragon Supreme had just admitted that he could not beat Dustin… “Mr. Joseph, what did you just say? Surely, I misheard you! You can’t beat Dustin? How is that even possible?” He stared intently at Joseph and hoped he would deny it. But Joseph merely shot him a glare as his face paled. If he could defeat Dustin, why would he waste his time talking? Elijah went numb when Joseph remained silent. That gave him the answer he most feared. Finding out Dustin was a Transcendent Martial King had already left him shaken. But hearing Joseph’s words had made him feel paralyzed. Dustin was the same age as him… Even if he had been training in martial arts since he was in the womb, this was still outrageous! “Dustin, if you must kill, then kill Elijah and be done with it. Don’t eradicate the entire Lotus Sect. Otherwise, the martial arts co

At the base of the Lotus Sect Mountain, a division of Lord Barbenheim’s personal army was stationed. They were ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice. The full army had not gathered, and the Dragon Supreme had already warned him, so Lord Barbenheim did not order an attack on the Lotus Sect. Instead, his troops remained stationed at the foot of the mountain. As dawn broke, Lord Barbenheim stumbled down the mountain in a battered state and collapsed before the personal army’s main camp. “Your Highness!” The soldiers quickly noticed him, and their expressions shifted to panic as they hurried to carry him into the camp for treatment. The camp’s medic worked urgently. After a tense effort, Lord Barbenheim finally opened his eyes with great difficulty. “Your Highness, your injuries are too severe. The facilities here are inadequate. You must be transported immediately to the best hospital in Grayvale or your life will be at risk!” the medic said gravely. “Your Highness,

Today marked the semifinals of the martial arts competition held at the Lotus Sect. As audiences entered the Lotus Sect arena, many wore puzzled looks. “Something feels... different about the Lotus Sect,” murmurs echoed among the crowd. In just one day, Grayvale’s largest sect seemed to have lost its vibrant energy and left behind an air of desolation. Dustin and Joseph remained seated in the main seats. But today, there was a stark difference: the Lotus Sect’s leader was bustling about and personally serving tea to the two of them. He treated Dustin with extreme respect. “Wasn’t the Lotus Sect at odds with Dustin? Why are they fawning over him now? Even the sect leader himself is doing that…” Audiences were baffled as they were unable to make sense of the situation. “Where are the five front-runners from earlier? None of them are here. Are they exempt from the semifinals? Sure, it’s just a formality, but skipping it outright reeks of favoritism. It’s hard to ac
