"R-right away, my lord!" Xiao Tiannan stammered, crawling to his feet. He hurried to the treasury along with the other elders, their faces pale with fear and desperation.

  The only o was the father, holding his son's motionless body. His head hung low, and his eyes were empty. It was unclear whether Wuji's words had affected him or if he had realized the vast gap in their strength and succumbed to despair.

  Yun Wuji cast a brief, dismissive g him before looking away.

  In this world, absolute power is the only truth! That's why everyone is desperately striving fher realms.

  If one is strong enough, one ge anything—even on sehey could redefiy standards, make what is sidered ugly the new ideal, or pletely alter gender roles, they even make their fart something sacred.

  This be seen in the Illusory Demon Realm, where i is normal. The Royal Family marries their siblings.

  Another example is how Yun Che ged people's perception of darkness profound energy.

  A perception that had sted for over a million years!

  A few mier.

  "My lords, this is everything we have in our treasury," Xiao Tiannan said, returning with multiple ste rings. He k down and raised his hand above his head, presenting the rings to the figure floating in the sky.

  The rings floated from his hand and nded in front of Yun Wuji. He picked one up and ied it.

  "Poor bastard!" The rings didn't have much value for him.

  When Xiao Tiannan and the other elders heard this, their bodies trembled.

  "Sigh, what you expect from a branch of a ti." He checked the other rings, but he was disappointed. All their items were too low in quality for someone of his standing; they held no value to him.

  In fact, he already k was uo get anything valuable from these worms. The real reason he offered his prote services was to punish them.

  With a wave of his hand, he kept the rings.

  "Hmph! I'll five you this time," he said, turning around. He gently pced his hand on Chu Yue's waist and stepped into the space crack, leaving behind a warning: "ime, I won't be so merciful."

  "Cripple his cultivation and lock him in the underground prison!" After Yun Wuji and Chu Yue departed, Xiao Tiannan stood motionless for a moment. He stood up and then turo face the father of Xiao Kang, his eyes burning with intense fury and his rage barely tained. He barked out his and, seething with ahis reckless fool had e dangerously close to destroying their entire sect!

  "Luckily, they only wanted materials from the treasury," he sighed in relief. It was fortuhey hadn't wiped them out in a fit of anger.

  If it had been him, and someone had provoked him, he would have annihited their entire family.

  He looked around, his heart was bleeding! Although no one had died, the sect was nearly destroyed. It was all because of that fool—if he hadn't provoked that man, they would have at most lost their treasury. Now, they faced the with the task of rebuilding the sect from scratch. The thought of it only fueled his hatred for the elder even more.

  With another heavy sigh, he began to give orders to his subordinates.

  ------

  Yun Wuji and Chu Yue returo the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.

  "We wasted so much time, quickly start making the burgers!" The moment they returned Yue urged Wuji began to prepare the burgers.

  "Alright, I'll make my Little Fairy her burgers," Wuji said, giving her a quick kiss before turning around to gather the cooking tools.

  "Hmm~" Yue touched her lips, her gaze softening as she watched Wuji's back, her eyes drifting into a distant, dreamy expression.

  The day, they left the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. Yun Wuji hesitated between heading to Floating Cloud City or the Wastend of Death.

  Floating Cloud City was very close, only needed one or two teleportations to reach. However, he chose to acquire the Dragon God Lega the Wastend of Death before heading to Floating Cloud City.

  Chu Yue didn't have any particur opinion; she was tent as long as she was with him and had delicious food to eat.

  The Wastend of Death sprawls over 950 kilometers long and 800 kilometers wide, covered in dry, withered grass and rugged terrain. It's known as one of the Blue Wind Empire's top three danger zones, filled with wild and fierce profous, far outnumbering those ien Thousa Mountain Ra's a haven for beasts and a nightmare for practitioners.

  Yue stood at the edge of the wastend and asked, "Is there another ian this pce?" She was sharp; after disc the ian the Ten Thousa Mountain Range, she immediately suspected there might be another one here.

  Why else would they bother ing into such a pce?

  "Yes, the Primordial Azure Dragon, Dragon God's Legacy is right here," Yun Wuji nodded.

  "Dragon God! Is this iarohan the phoenix?" Yue asked, her voice filled with awe. Even though she repared, she was still shocked.

  "Yes, the Dragon God is the most powerful of the gods beh the Creatods. He is also the leader of the various Divis," Yun Wuji expined, giving her more details about the iance.

  "It's at the ter of this nd. Let's go." He held her waist, and in an instant, they teleported to the tral area of the wastend.

  The space trembled as Yun Wuji and Little Fairy appeared near a low mountain. Wuji sensed a draic aura nearby, meaning that the iance was very close.

  "Be careful!" As soon as they arrived, two enormous silver shadows emerged from the low hill. The shadows charged toward them like lightning, each as rge as a house. The beasts' feroouths, lined with terrifyih, gaped wide as they rushed forward. The sudden attack made Yue let out a startled cry.

  "Don't worry, I'm here," Wuji reassured her with a ge on her waist.

  "Dragons?" When they were close she saw two silver dragons.

  She saw two massive silver dragons, each over a hundred meters long, rushing toward them aggressively. Their scales glinted coldly, and their imposing presence seemed to trap them in pce.

  "Die, human!" As the dragons closed in, they were suddenly overwhelmed by an unpreted sense of danger.

  A fear they had never experienced suddenly gripped them, causing them to freeze.

  The instinct of the dragons drove them to make a defensive response subsciously.

  But when they raised their cws, they found that their bodies were inexplicably uo move as if invisible shackles were binding them.

  "What is going on?!" the female dragon shouted, struggling to move.

  "Shouldn't dragons disdain such petty tactics like sneak attacks?" Yun Wuji smiled slightly, looking at the dragon trapped in his space shackles.

  "Human, it's your doing! This petty trick won't work on us!" The male drago Yun Wuji.

  "..." Wuji and Yue.

  "..." The male dragon gathered all its strength to break free but it couldn't even move.

  "Despicable human! We will never let you have the Dragon God's treasure!" The female drago them, desperately trying to break free.

  "..." After a few more attempts, they both finally ceased their struggles.

  They were breathing heavily, their earlier bravado now leaving them red-faced and uneasy. The bold words they had spoken earlier seemed to eogly in their minds, heightening their sense of embarrassment.

  "Stupid rown snakes," Yun Wuji shook his head and turo Yue. "How about we py a game?"

  "A game?" she asked, intrigued.

  "Wouldn't you like to test your rength?" he suggested. "If you defeat one of these dragons in five minutes, I'll make you any type of food you want for the whole day."

  "Really?!" She looked at him with joy but then had another idea. "Then what if I defeat one of them in two minutes? What will my reward be?"

  "Hmmm, I don't know," he replied, shaking his head. "What do you want?"

  "In addition to making all the food I want, I want you to also give me head pats and kisses for a whole day," she said, ping her thoughtfully. "And cuddles—lots of cuddles too!"
