Just when all seemed lost, a mysterious silver ring, seemingly tossed from the hands of celestials, descended from the heavens. Upon receiving the celestial gift, Li Jun's life took a surprising turn.

As the layers of deceit peeled away, Li Jun found himself thrust into a web of lies that began to unravel before him. Compelled to untangle the enigmatic circumstances surrounding his father's demise and the orchestrated misfortunes that befell him, Li Jun strode on through the world of cultivation as the heavens trembled at his feet. He had seen a whisper of despair and vowed to never glance upon it again.

The Black Star Monarch

The remaining guards dragged the body of their fallen comrade and threw it into a small compartment at the back of the carriage. Leaving corpses in someone else's territory was unmistakably disrespectful, so they took him back with them.

Shen Yun flinched again, hiding behind her grandfather so she didn't have to see it.

Li Jun felt gazes pierce through every fiber of his body, and he turned to see Master Shen and the city lord staring with thoughtful expressions.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble." Li Jun clasped his hands and offered a bow to the two of them.

Each of them remained silent for a moment until Grandmaster Mao emerged from the mansion, holding an envelope in his hands.

"Don't apologize. I should thank you for getting rid of that little shit." He said with a hearty laugh as the others turned toward him with dissatisfied expressions.
