The snake-like runes on the surface of the light curtains rushed at the golden fists. They seemed to devour the powerful energy contained in the fists.

The golden fist shadow quickly dimmed until it collapsed!

The runes were scattered and the entire light curtain calmed down, almost completely unaffected before it disappeared again.

The night sky had become clear and audible once again, as if nothing had ever happened.

“Such a battle on a remote starfield such as this… It’s a little interesting,” the man said as his body flashed in the golden robe he wore.

His eyes were as golden and bright as his garments. A beam of golden light came down from the sky, turning his robe into a golden shadow that was coiled up more than a few feet tall.

As soon as the shadow became solid, he shook his head and rushed to the sky above.

Suddenly there was a loud bang!

The whole area seemed to tremble violently, almost like something was cracking!

The Golden Jiao Serpent hit the white light curtain that was originally hidden in the air and instantly burst into a golden glow like the sun. A circle of gold and white waves swept in all directions, brightening up the sky. The runes on the surface of the white light curtains converged on the location of the Golden Jiao Serpent. Unfortunately, it did not have the time to gather strength for its assault as the entire light curtain was stunned.

With a dragon-like roar, the light curtain that had covered the entire peak crashed into tiny bits of crystal, disappearing into the night sky.

“This starfield is ridiculous. It hasn’t even been able to heal this avatar for such a long time. At least the Golden Pill’s strength is just enough for this level of the planet,” the man recovered the golden jiao energy construct while speaking to himself.

He closed his eyes and rolled them under the eyelids. As soon as he opened his eyes, a sneer rose in the corner of his mouth.

His figure was blurred as it went airborne. The golden light from his body began to shine brighter. His entire form was turned into a golden light and went far away.

From the transmission array, there was an abnormality. When the man in gold broke away, it was only a matter of his resting effort.

The man had only left less than half of the incense in the direction of the main peak of the Taihua Mountains. Several rays of light shone down the sky.

After landing, the light condensed and several middle-aged people dressed in blue robes appeared, two of whom went straight to the nearby stone building.

Among the remaining few people, the leader of the group bore a pine-grained ancient sword. His looks were refreshing yet strange. He had been looking back and forth between the ground and the sky.

“The return to the big battle has been broken, and his strength is at least Heaven-ranked!”

“Brother Zi Yu, all but one of the eight elite disciples stationed here have disappeared. Their bones were gone and….”

Two middle-aged priests flew from the stone building. One had a long black face and black shoulders.

“What?! How can he be here?!” the middle-aged Taoist man said with a strange look on his face.

He saw a white-faced black-skinned person behind him with another round-faced person holding a skull. They suddenly stepped forward and looked over the body.

“Sheng Er, my dear apprentice… Who could be so ruthless to you?! As your teacher, I will avenge you. I will tear him limb from limb.” Zi Yu said as he held tightly to his beloved apprentice’s corpse, gnashing his teeth.

“Brother Zi, please mourn. The enemy invaded us when we were at our weakest so we must retreat for now. We will need to come up with a strategy. We cannot be blinded by hatred,” said the white-faced black priest said.

“Yes, Brother Zi. This thief couldn’t have gotten far, but from the current situation, they must be at least Heaven-ranked. Since Huang Long and Jing Tian’s divisions are not here, the head of the division shall retreat for now. If I continue to pursue, I’m afraid…” the round-faced Taoist trailed off.

“Your reasons are justifiable. If a person can kill this many people in such a short period of time, he’s definitely of rare strength. Brother Qing Mu, bring in the six-eared dog,” Zi Yu commanded as he handed the corpse to the white-faced black-beard man behind him.

“Then, I shall go,” Qing Mu Taoist nodded.

“Brother Bai Shi, report this matter to the master immediately. Sister Yuan Ming. Pass me the handcuffs then hurry to the magic hall and pick up some disciples to join us,” Zi Yu ordered a man and a beautiful maiden.

The three immediately flew away in different directions.

“The rest of you, follow me to the Temple of the Immortals to see if there was any abnormality in the transmission array,” Zi Yu said while walking toward the stone building not far away.

An evening after a few days…

The Peninsula of Dongzhou, Daqi Kingdom, Feng City.

The afterglow of the setting sun faintly sprinkled on the streets of the blue stone pavement and the red brick green tiles on both sides of the street shimmered with dazzling light from time to time.

Shi Mu walked along the street, admiring the surroundings of the strange yet familiar scenery. He appeared leisurely on the surface but his heart was embarrassed.

This was Cai’s first time in Feng City. He was attracted by the local customs of the people and continuously asked about them.

Feng City looked slightly different today. The streets were lively and filled with foreigners.

Although the sky was getting darker, the streets were still full of cars and horses, and the crowds weaved through them. Not far away there were a few screams of enthusiasm, the of horses, and long humming. Some restaurants were full of people. Some of the small stores were busy.

Shi Mu felt a little odd but he but did not care and continued to move forward.

Based on his memory, from here to the Wind Martial Arts Club were three streets, and only through the middle street would they arrive at the golden estate.

After a fragrant incense, Shi Mu walked past the golden estate but suddenly found that the doorway was bustling and lively.

A row of red lanterns hung under the spacious porch and the ever-closed doors were wide open this time. Servants entered and left, beaming with excitement.

“Tomorrow’s the day! Can you go check if the carriages are arranged properly?”

“Uncle Lee, you can rest assured that all the ten carriages are loaded onto the car. As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, it will all be sent out without error.”

“You’ve made some mistakes in the past but I’ll let you go. This is a big event so if there is a delay, I will not forget it.”

“Rest assured, everything will be fine…”

…

“Shi Mu, this is the golden estate you talked about, right? What’s this all about?” Cai looked at the two servants of the Jin clan and asked curiously.

“Maybe someone is about to get married,” Shi Mu nodded.

Shi Mu intended to visit his aunt Jin Zhen and his sister Yuhuan but seeing how packed and busy the Jin Clan is, he did not want to bother much.

After a pause, he turned at the corner and went straight to the Wind Martial Arts Club.

…

Although Li Cang Hai had been more than half a century old but ever since retreating a few years ago, the repairs were in their late days. As all of Feng City rose, the reputation of the Wind Martial Arts Club rose with it.

Today, he had more strength and energy than he had ten years ago. His entire person seemed full of spirit.

However, he knew that everything was given by the young man named Shi Mu who was in front of him now. If it was not for the Gu Yuan pills he had been given in the past, he would not have been able to make any improvements.

However, this year was that of the Stone Monkey Bloodline. After cultivation, the method could not smoothly gather the true spirit. After each encounter, it brought him tremendous shock.

“Shi Mu, I haven’t seen it in a few years. You’ve progressed even further. Now I’m afraid that you’re already at the early stage of… No, you’ve achieved the middle stage already?”

Li Cang Hai looked at Shi Mu. His eyes had a complicated hesitant look.

He was a well-known martial arts master in Feng City. He had only ever seen those who achieved the early stage of Xian Tian.

“Master Lee, you over-praise me. It was only by luck that I had the chance to come this far. Speaking of which, I was hoping you could provide me with more martial training so that I can join the military.”

“Innate strength to protect the country…? That’s good… Hey, if the founder of the year knew about this, I wonder if repentance would be necessary,” Li Cang Hai muttered to himself as if he was trying to calm the shock in his heart.

There was some sarcasm in his words but there was also a hint of comfort and pride.

“In fact, I would also like to thank him. If it weren’t for him, there wouldn’t be such a fortunate series of events,” Shi Mu said thoughtfully.

The mentor and apprentice gossiped until they reached the Jin clan.

“Not sure if you’re aware but your sister-in-law Yuhuan is getting married the day after tomorrow,” Li Chang Hai said.

“So Sister Yuhuan is the one getting married! Before passing through the Jin clan territory, I’d seen countless lanterns hanging around. I thought it was for someone else. I didn’t expect it to be Yuhuan.”

“Your sister is marrying into a good family. Your future brother-in-law is the son of the Wang Clan who is now the youngest guardian of the country. In fact, if you are willing to work for the country, the treatment would not be so bad.”

“Wang family? As in Wang Tianhao?” Shi Mu asked in shock.

“That’s not right. This is the biggest happy event in Feng City. These days, people would come and go on the streets all for the sake of this marriage…” Li Cang Hai said.

Listening to Li Cang Hai’s fine details, Shi Mu only began to roughly understand the ins and outs of the whole situation.

Originally, Wang Tianhao had been inspired by the Kai Yuan martial arts school. After confirming the rare five-grade medium, he had not only became a genius disciple of the Wang family but also the star of Feng City’s people.

As soon as Wang Tianhao went to the Jin Clan, he had an indissoluble bond with Yuhuan.

If Wang Tianhao’s temperament was on the rise and shot down many disciples of the Jin clan, he would not have encountered Yuhuan. Otherwise, he would not be impressed by the females of the Kai Yuan school. The roots of their love went deep.

Wang Tianhao’s talent was indispensable to the Kai Yuan martial arts school. It was a one-handed sniper rifle method that had now reached its peak.

Since leaving the martial arts world, Wang Tianhao had been recruited by the court of the Daqi Kingdom, which made him the youngest and most promising defender of the country. His participation had greatly increased the strength of Daqi Kingdom.

On the day of the closure, it was a national jubilee.

From then on, the power of the Wang family was no longer in Feng City and even in Quanzhou, it was a vertical and horizontal side. The threshold of his family had already been broken by the family themselves.

Now that Yuhuan and Tianhao were in love, they created this beautiful mood. It was unknown how many stayed in Feng City or left to laugh at the spectacle.

Shi Mu planned to leave the place after visiting Aunt Jin Zhen. Based on the current situation, one was his sister and the other his old acquaintance. He had to go get a drink.

After saying his goodbyes to Li Cang Hai, it was already late. Shi Mu immediately found a hotel to stay the night with Cai.
