"What?!"The patriarch's voice boomed through the room, his face a canvas of sheer disbelief. He had spent his life in that small town, yet the renown of Master Howard, King of the Western Region, had reached even his ears.Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to encounter that storied figure in his own home.With Howard's arrival, he knew the fate of the mountain sect was sealed. If Howard was involved, they must have crossed a line."Father, you know this man? Who is he?" The Wagg family's daughter approached with curiosity."The King of the West, Master Howard," the patriarch replied, his voice heavy with gravity."Huh!?" The gasp rippled through the Wagg family, their faces alight with awe.Master Howard's visit was nothing short of a blessing for the Waggs!An hour later, at a sect's grand courtyard nestled on the mountainside.In the grand hall of a building that whispered of ancient times, a man in his fifties, clad in a traditional suit, sat with a grimace on his

Many of the Dark Shady Cartel's rank and file were no match for the Shadow Sect's seasoned fighters. Lacking the prowess of even a martial general, they quickly began to fall one after another under the relentless assault."You're all as good as dead!" The elder with a mane of white hair bellowed, unsheathing his sword in a swift, fluid motion that sent it slicing through the air.His presence erupted, reaching its peak in an instant—a clear testament to his cultivation base at the martial ancesto level.His sword's energy tore through the air, mercilessly carving deep gashes into the young Shadow Sect members, their blood spraying wildly."It's you who's marked for death!" Yoel's voice was a low growl as he moved, a blur in the night, his Blood Shadow Saber tracing a lethal arc of chilling brilliance."Foolish boy!" The elder's retort was icy as he pressed forward instead of back, unleashing a piercing sword thrust that screamed through the air.With a hiss, their strikes met, a

Howard found himself on the back foot, with no choice but to hit hard on defense.With a swift motion, Howard's wrist twisted, sending the Blood Shadow Saber slicing through the air in a dance of deadly light to counter the assault.The clash of their attacks sent a fearsome wave of energy rippling out, shaking the ground like an earthquake.In just moments, they had traded over ten blows. Each was forced to stagger back, their heavy steps carving deep marks into the earth.Howard was left with a few fresh scrapes, but they were nothing serious.Cinnor, however, was not so fortunate. Barely clinging to life before, he was riddled with ghastly gashes.He fell, his mouth gaping as blood spilled out in torrents. After a few final twitches, he was motionless."A half-step martial king?"Regaining his footing, Howard's gaze shot toward a shadowy figure standing a hundred meters away, his eyes narrowing in recognition.Draped in a green robe and masked in black and white, the slende

"Show me what else you've got, Master Howard, besides those fancy blade moves!" The woman's laughter was light and mocking as she shouted, "Shadow Ink Swordplay!"Shadow Ink Swordplay, along with the Ink Demon Palm, was the Dark Shady Cartel's claim to fame—two legendary moves that were feared far and wide.In an instant, her sword was a blur. It traced arcs of light that spanned hundreds of meters in the air, slashing the ground to dust in its wake.Wielding the sword with an energy that only the mightiest king-level could master, she—a mere breath away from that elite status—handled it with ease. Her prowess was undeniable."Try and catch this!" she taunted, her voice a mix of challenge and grace.Her sword streaked toward Howard like a shooting star, cutting through the air as if it could split the very fabric of space.However, Howard was already in motion, his fists a blur as he punched the air. A tempest of shadows filled the sky, and the raw power of his blows whipped up a

"Sir, Phoenix is off playing Cupid, as ordered," Hacks called out with a laugh."What's that supposed to mean?" Howard was taken aback."Sir, Selena got wind of Phoenix heading back to the Western Region, so she rang him up this morning for a breakfast date," Shylah explained, her smile infectious."So, there might be a spark there?" Howard's eyebrow was curious."When both hearts are in it, it's a sure bet!" Dragon responded."Shylah, shoot Phoenix a message. Give him a week off for some family time, let him linger in Quintilian a bit longer," Howard instructed.A family leave? Things were moving fast!"Got it, Sir!" Shylah's lips curled into a smile."Sir, since when does romance come with perks? How come I never got that?" Hacks protested loudly."Hacks, cut it out. Phoenix is in it for real!" Lukas cut in."Hey, Lukas, are you saying my relationships aren't for real?" Hacks retorted, clearly not pleased."Hacks, why not introduce your girlfriend to the boss? If he gives
