Deep in the Flower God Mountain Range, where spiritual energy curls around the long peaks, auspicious land accompanies colorful clouds, there’s a misty and boundless lake, vast and overwhelming, with its ancient natural scenery as beautiful as poetry and painting.

This is one of the famed ancient sceneries of the Flower God Mountain Range; an ancient lake without a reputation, it has endured through the ages, grand and majestic, gradually expanding to cover one twentieth of the entire mountain range, with three thousand feet of silver flow, and eight thousand feet of towering mountains by the lakeside, magnificent and splendid.

And now, outside this ancient lake, there are not only people flying through the clouds and riding the mist but also immense demons with overwhelming demon qi, and individuals of the Human Race flying with their swords, demons surrounded by demonic qi. All kinds of beings.

Chen Fei has arranged to duel the Spear-wielding War King in the Flower God Mountain Range, but this range is the Flower God Sect’s stronghold, how could it allow others to do as they please? A deadly battle between two Mystic Heaven Position Kings would be enough to tear mountains and rivers, sinking peaks, something even as grand as the Flower God Mountain Range could not withstand.

Therefore, the Flower God Sect has designated this ancient lake area for Chen Fei and the Spear-wielding War King’s battle. The resources of the ancient lake are barren, so it doesn’t matter if it’s destroyed, as long as other areas are preserved.

Thus, with the monthly deadline approaching, the surroundings of this ancient lake have become exceedingly lively, crowded with people.

”I didn’t expect someone would dare to stroke the tiger whiskers of the Spear-wielding War King, it’s quite interesting, is he seeking death?” A chilling laugh came from the crowd, drawing a round of agreement, mocking that person’s overestimation of their abilities.

What kind of person is the Spear-wielding War King? He’s renowned throughout the land, fearsome across the world, even able to rival figures like the Supreme Elders of the Five Great Powers, but now he’s been robbed of a woman by someone insignificant and provoked on his doorstep, making it a bit disgraceful, somewhat comedic.

Many understand that the Spear-wielding War King is too mighty; decades ago, he could slay Mystic Heaven Position Kings, and now, after countless years of transformation and refinement, how much stronger he has become is beyond imagination.

Therefore, they all think that Chen Fei is a joke! But if the Spear-wielding War King is willing to act, even if it’s a crushing victory, they are still willing to watch.

Because the mere four words ’Spear-wielding War King’, this famed title across the realm, just ’warrants the ticket price’ motivating them to travel from afar. This is a grand event for many, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hard to miss?

”Even so, isn’t the person challenging the Spear-wielding War King also remarkable? Can an ordinary person really instantly kill Duan Qianjue and Lo Qiubai?”

There are also those who know about Chen Fei instantly killing Lo Qiubai and Duan Qianjue, both being figures at the Peak of Great Heaven Rank. Who except for Mystic Heaven Position Kings can subdue them? Especially instantly kill them?

”So what if that’s the case? I’ve never even heard of this person’s name before. What remarkable ability could he possess?! I say, he probably can’t even withstand three moves in the hands of the Spear-wielding War King, haha...”

”Indeed, the power of the Spear-wielding War King is unknown to you. Decades ago, I was fortunate enough to witness the battle where the Spear-wielding War King killed the Jade Flute King Cao Zhengchun—it was terrifying, worthy of being deemed peerless! And now, decades have passed since then.”

”Haha, so we’re just waiting to watch the Spear-wielding War King strip that man of his bones and tendons? Tsk tsk, to dare steal a woman from the Spear-wielding War King, that guy sure has guts, hahaha!”

…

But more people’s mouths were filled with mockery, ridicule, and sneers. Nobody had any, not even a shred, of confidence in Chen Fei; the Spear-wielding War King was too strong, famed across mountains and rivers, this point is ingrained deeply in their hearts.

At this time, a graceful figure was spotted within the crowd.

”Hmm?” As soon as they saw that graceful figure, a few people’s expressions turned startled, and then some glanced over a few times, until finally someone recognized her.

”Isn’t she that woman, daring to appear here, what audacity she has!” Someone remarked with astonishment.

”That woman? Who?”

”Who do you think? Have you forgotten why that man wanted to battle the Spear-wielding War King?”

”You mean... it’s her?!”

…

A multitude of gazes fixated on that graceful silhouette, carrying various sensations of sarcasm, curiosity, coldness, and mockery. A mixed assortment.

Apparently, that graceful figure was none other than Pei Wanning. With Chen Fei currently in secluded training, she felt genuinely uneasy on her own, wanting to walk around a bit, and ended up somehow coming here.

”Defying the Spear-wielding War King, yet daring to come here, indeed takes guts. Aren’t you afraid of being skinned alive?” A demon figure exuding sinister aura sneered coldly at Pei Wanning from afar.

To him, a hegemon like the Spear-wielding War King was godlike, an invincible immortal, even he dared not entertain the thought of offending, yet now Pei Wanning, just a wretched woman, dared to do so, leaving him feeling rather unsatisfied.

Every lowly being is like this, enduring oppression, not daring to resist; when seeing others dare try, it instinctively twists their mindset. If he couldn’t do it, why should a woman be able to!?

Upon hearing this, Pei Wanning’s face turned pale, she bit her lip, refrained from retorting, and didn’t speak a word.

”Where did this fool come from, get lost!”

At this moment, an angry voice came through, a figure stepping forward, directly standing in front of that sinister aura demon figure, and sneered, ”Get away to wherever you feel cool right now, or don’t blame me for losing patience and killing you straight away!”

”What did you say?!” That sinister aura demon figure’s expression changed immediately, his eyes turning cold, harboring killing intent.

”Huh?” At that moment, someone suddenly looked at the figure and exclaimed in surprise, ”Why is it him, Tu Tian from the Big Dipper Star Sect? Why would he be walking so quickly with this woman?!”

”Big Dipper Star Sect?!” The demon head, surrounded by demonic qi, immediately twitched the corner of his eye, snorted coldly, and turned to leave. Although his own strength was not weak, he was from a small sect and dared not act recklessly against one of the top five forces like the Big Dipper Star Sect, lest he be killed and someone avenges him.

”Hmph! What a thing.” Tu Tian snorted coldly, then turned his concern to Pei Wanning, asking, ”Sister-in-law, are you okay?”

Upon hearing the term sister-in-law, Pei Wanning blushed slightly, but she quickly calmed down, thanked Tu Tian, ”I’m fine, but really, thank you for earlier.”

”It’s nothing.” Tu Tian immediately shook his head, smiled, and said, ”Sister-in-law, my senior brother is here too. Should I take you over?”

”Your senior brother?” Pei Wanning was taken aback.

”It’s Senior Zhen Jingkong.” Tu Tian explained.

”Your senior brother is actually Lord Zhen Jingkong?” Pei Wanning realized with a smile, ”Alright then. Please take me over.”

She had met Zhen Jingkong several times before and knew he had a good relationship with Chen Fei. He also knew her.

”Alright!” Tu Tian nodded, leading Pei Wanning towards a painting boat on the lake.

”There you are? Are you alright? Long time no see.” As soon as Pei Wanning entered the painting boat, a figure with extraordinary presence stood up and spoke with a smile.

The person was none other than Zhen Jingkong, who had previously bid farewell to Chen Fei.

And now, he was quite different from before. Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, brown hair draping over shoulders, dressed in a profoundly mystical octagonal formation pattern Dao robe, glowing with a heart-stirring brilliance. On his hand was a long scar extending into his sleeve, very fresh, seemingly recently inflicted.

”Senior Zhen Jingkong.” Seeing Zhen Jingkong stand up, Pei Wanning immediately bowed and greeted him.

If it wasn’t for Zhen Jingkong, she and Chen Fei might already be dead. She still remembered this.

”Don’t call me Senior, call me Big Brother. Where is that kid now?” Zhen Jingkong waved his hand with a smile. Pei Wanning was Chen Fei’s woman, and that kid was now so formidable, so calling him Senior was naturally out of place.

”Big, Big Brother?” Pei Wanning was taken aback, looking at Zhen Jingkong.

”Just call me Big Brother.” Zhen Jingkong spoke again.

”Alright, alright then.” Pei Wanning hesitated but nodded, ”Big Brother Zhen, my husband is currently still in seclusion.”

”In seclusion?” Zhen Jingkong frowned, hesitating, ”Is he not ready?”

He asked because he considered Pei Wanning family. With the battle approaching soon, and Chen Fei still in seclusion, it was either due to lack of preparation or some issue occurring.

Pei Wanning’s expression also turned worried upon hearing, ”I don’t know either. He told me not to worry. But, Big Brother Zhen, do you think he really has no issue this time being up against the Spear-wielding War King...”

Upon hearing this, Zhen Jingkong fell into silence. When he left back then, Chen Fei’s strength was barely at Minor Heavenly Position, but now? Who is the Spear-wielding War King? In their Big Dipper Star Sect, he could compare to the Supreme Elder!

Even though that kid was truly monstrous, could he really progress so miraculously fast? He didn’t know.

Zhen Jingkong believed Chen Fei wasn’t foolish; if he dared to say so, he must have his reasons. But he truly didn’t know.

”Sister-in-law, Senior Zhen, I feel that Brother Fei isn’t a fool. If he dares to do this, he surely has the confidence to deal with the Spear-wielding War King.” At this moment, Tu Tian chimed in.

”Indeed.” Upon hearing this, Zhen Jingkong nodded, smiling at Pei Wanning, ”Don’t worry. That kid has always had great luck and fortune, and it’s always him outsmarting others, never the other way around. I’ve been with him for years, never seen otherwise.”

”Really, I never thought there would be a day when your Big Dipper Star Sect is so naïve. Truly an eye-opener, haha!” At this moment, a mocking laughter emanated from a nearby painting boat.

Everyone’s face changed. Zhen Jingkong frowned, looking at that painting boat, and upon seeing the peculiar flying bird symbol, he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, ”Mansion of Flying God King?!”

”What? Mansion of Flying God King, which Mansion of Flying God King?!”

”Which else Mansion of Flying God King? Damn, it’s really them, the person is the Gale Spirit General, the leader of the top ten generals of the Mansion of Flying God King, at the Invincible Great Heaven Rank!”

”I’ve heard recently a Heavenly Origin Dynasty emerged from the Wang Clan, expanding territories and establishing themselves as a nation! Not only that, but they also managed to turn against four of the seven royal mansions under the Wang Clan, Mansion of Flying God King being one of them. In short, the Heavenly Origin Dynasty has been gaining tremendous influence lately...”
