Bang! Boom!

The clattering and breaking of items and angry yells rang from a closed room from time to time.

The two attendants guarding the door quivered in fear. After a message was sent back from the front line, the room seemed to have been caught in an earthquake.

“There were three thousand elite cultivators! But only a few hundred are left in the end!? What a bunch of trash!

“Du Xingchuan is useless!

“Also, how did that kid hijack a Violet Hero Battleship? And how can he destroy all our battleships?”

“We had six brand-new Violet Hero Battleships. Each one is worth two hundred thousand gold coins. They are rare treasures that can’t be bought with money, but now...all have been destroyed except for the two that were severely damaged! Who is going to take responsibility for the loss?”

“This is so annoying!”

The descendants of the wealthy families who acted as assistants in the operation roared in fury. They were deeply affected by the news they had just received and lost their composure.

The ground was covered with smashed cups, broken pieces of furniture, and other items.

The candles flickered, casting a glow on everyone’s livid and grim faces, making them look even more sinister.

A planned operation between Haze City and the Forbidden City that had been well supplemented with many resources and materials—

Failed!

They had lost to a boy in his teens!

They were utterly defeated!

Who would be able to accept the defeat?

“Trash! What a bunch of trash! I’m going to kill Du Xingchuan when he returns!”

The yelling continued. It was as though everyone wanted to vent the shock, anger, and suffocating feeling in their hearts.

Only Chi Cangmei didn’t utter a single word. She sat there alone like a statue, her pretty and fierce face devoid of emotions. She didn’t respond to any of the furious voices around her.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the yelling subsided and the wealthy family descendants slumped down on their seats.

“Not going to yell anymore?”

Chi Cangmei finally spoke after a long period of silence. She lifted her head and swept a glance over everyone around her. She didn’t in the least conceal the disdain in her eyes.

The assistants all looked uncomfortable and avoided her gaze.

“Even if the people sent out are trash, they have fought with their lives. But you all…” Chi Cangmei uttered coldly. “Perhaps, you are the true trash!”

Trash!

No one dared to refute even if they were directly insulted and raging inside.

“Look, you don’t even dare to refute it. What’s the use of you all?”

Chi Cangmei’s voice sounded increasingly calm, but her words were harsher and harsher. “It’s my fault for keeping you all as assistants. Perhaps I, Chi Cangmei, am a blind idiot!”

The more she said it like that, the more uncomfortable she made the assistants. Their faces became extremely stiff and were red with embarrassment.

“Lady Mei, although the operation failed, the target hasn’t reached Forbidden City yet. In other words, we still have a chance!” someone couldn’t help but say aloud. “I’m willing to go to the front line and kill that kid!”

“Yes! Me too!”

The others also expressed their willingness as if showing their loyalties.

Chi Cangmei’s expression remained indifferent, but a hint of pity flashed in her eyes as she looked at them. “Are you sure?”

“Of course!” the assistants said without any hesitation.

Chi Cangmei chuckled. “Then I have to ask who can guarantee that they can kill the target? I’m serious. So you better think before you respond.”

All the assistants became stiff and remained silent.

They had been paying close attention to the operation on the front line these days. How could they not know that their target was an abnormal, young demon?

Even six Violet Hero Battleships and three thousand elite cultivators failed miserably against him. How would they have a chance of winning?

They only enthusiastically volunteered to go to the front line out of anger from being humiliated by Chi Cangmei.

They likely would run faster than rabbits if they had to face the target.

Chi Cangmei’s expression turned cold as she slowly rose to her feet. “The celebration banquet is gone. Everyone, you better look out for yourself!” She turned around and left.

Although her words didn’t seem particularly threatening, her assistants’ expressions dramatically changed. They were scared out of their wits.

They all knew that Chi Cangmei was truly enraged and the consequences would be serious!

……

In the darkness of the night, Chi Cangmei was sitting inside a carriage. She looked distracted as she stared at the bead floating in front.

The bead cast out a light screen and showed a very simple scene. A young man was looking up with a smile and waving his hand in the night.

Chi Cangmei watched quietly as if the youngster was right in front of her.

She knew that the handsome young man was Lin Xun, but when she saw him, she felt that he was very unfamiliar like she had never met him before.

The youngster seemed to be smiling and his smile could be described as bright and charming, but it was particularly irritating to Chi Cangmei.

She couldn’t help but shudder inwardly when she looked at the young man’s dark eyes. His eyes were too calm and without a ripple of emotion like a still lake.

Chi Cangmei inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine.

PA!

She raised her hand and crushed the bead in her hand. Even if you come to the Forbidden City, I will not stop!

……

“Father, the operation has failed.” Chi Cangmei headed straight to her father’s study when she returned to her clan.

Seeing her father sitting upright before a desk and reading, Chi Cangmei seemed to have become gentle and lost her strong, powerful demeanor.

“Hm, tell me the details,” Chi Lingxiao said casually. He was a slender man. Clad in a scholarly robe, he looked particularly elegant and refined.

Even if he was just sitting there, his back was straight as a spear and his shoulders, although not particularly broad, looked capable of holding up the sky!

He exuded a leisurely and relaxed demeanor.

Chi Cangmei deliberated, then organized her thoughts and explained all the details of the operation.

Chi Lingxiao’s expression never wavered once. He was still sitting in front of the desk and quietly flipping through an old book in his hand.

When Chi Cangmei finished speaking, he nodded. “Yes, we have already done what we should do. Whether it’s successful or not, it has nothing to do with us anymore.”

Chi Cangmei was taken aback for a moment. She couldn’t believe what she had heard. What does that mean? ‘Whether it’s successful or not, it has nothing to do with us anymore.’

The operation has failed! We lost so many people, how could it not have anything to do with us?

She couldn’t help but ask, “Father, what is going on?”

Chi Lingxiao put away the book in his hand and explained, “From the moment when we agreed not to send people stronger than the Spirit Dipper Stage to participate in the operation, the outcome has already been decided. If we win, the kid will be dead. If we lose, the kid will be qualified to enter the Forbidden City.”

Chi Lingxiao smiled. ”You just need to think about the intention behind this agreement. Some people want the child of the Lin Family to return, but some people don’t. This was why they made such an arrangement.”

Chi Cangmei had long thought about the problem, but she was still taken aback by her father’s explanation. “So…it’s not our Chi Family that wants to deal with Lin Xun?”

Chi Lingxiao nodded. “That boy has a complicated background. It involves an incident that occurred more than ten years ago. Everyone thought he was dead. Who would have thought that he would reappear…”

“Father, who is he?” Chi Cangmei asked in shock.

She had never thought that Lin Xun’s identity would stir up such a huge storm.

If even the Chi Family had to play the role of ‘hired thugs,’ it was easy to imagine how terrifying the force behind the operation was!

“You will understand when he comes to the Forbidden City.”

Chi Lingxiao said casually, “Mei’er, you have done a good job. Although you were defeated, you have completed the task. Leave the rest for me to handle.”

Chi Cangmei left the study in a distracted state. She had thought that her father would severely punish her for failing the mission…

What is going on?

For the first time, Chi Cangmei felt bewildered.

But she realized that she could get the answer she wanted once she found out about Lin Xun’s identity!

“Lin Xun, who are you?”

With this mystery in mind, Chi Cangmei left the clan. She was determined to find out what had happened in the Forbidden City more than a decade ago.

……

The Castle of Darkness.

The old man walked into an empty and dark hall and bowed his head. “Miss, the Chi Family’s operation has failed.”

“Since the kid managed to survive, it seems that he has proved that he is qualified to take charge. What reaction does the old guy from the stargazing platform have?”

The Queen of Dark Night’s voice sounded ethereal as it drifted in the darkness.

The old man suddenly donned a strange expression and only answered her after a while, “He seems to have expected this to happen and only said four words in response.”

“What four words?”

“A storm will rise!”

“That old guy always likes to be mysterious. I look forward to seeing what kind of storm will be set off in the Forbidden City when that kid Lin Xun arrives!”

……

The old man known as the Heavenly Seer stood alone on the stargazing platform. He leaned back against the railing and gazed at the stars above, his eyes sparkling innocently like that of a child’s.

After a long moment, he let out an emotional sigh. “More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Who would have thought that the kid could still return to the Forbidden City after his Origin Aeth Artery was removed? The world is indeed unpredictable!”
