but in the next second he yells out marriage where 3 women are pursuing him can hear

460... I came back to read this a couple days ago to see its at 498 lol

wish she woulda just executed that dude... What punishment can befall her when he attacked first

honestly, what i expect is that the emperor is using this "8th" family as a means to unify the other 7 households under the imperial banner rather than being autonomous. But what he doesn't know is MC just snagged his most powerful defense... My guess is the 7 families have been carving away bc of emperors past tyranny

feel like those are weighted wristbands

Why is it that i can only hear clown music when looking at these 4

but the king should know the whole picture. should he not declare the existence of the 8th house as its already been leaked and claim it was the estate clan who attack a high ranking member of a "reputable house" which is on par with the other 7. this would be grounds for defense and allow him to knock down estate house as well as explain the ban... too bad king doesn't have strategist

just think... ppl get off to elves and they're usually centuries old

@suamone in relation to the heart demon
as long as MC can justify his actions as contributing to the safety and welfare of the luo clan he can do as he pleases. EG although he was killing hell valley which would put luo clan in danger 1 he believes that they can't enter the city due to orders 2 they are already an enemy after them. EG he made an enemy of the regant estate knowing that they are the ring leader thus a time will come where they are put on the chopping block so he attempts to stop or thwart their rise in power

MC be like i thought what happened in vegas stays in vegas

holy fuck

asked for stronger evidence so he can justifiably attack 1 and now he's committed to wiping out 3 lest he go back on his word

I've seen some pretty grimy salesman but none this bad... this is borderline devil contract type shit

Honestly if the just requested the Emperors assistance wouldn't he be forced to move as its 1 his fault the clan is powerless, and 2 his fault the houses are targeting the clans. Especially considering that their family has been faithfully following the edict for generations. Not helping would be the same thing as telling them to usurp with the other houses

dude bout died with his eyes popping out of his head from shock

but you cultivate energy as well as cultivate a martial art. However you use a martial art to attack or defend. Some martial arts allow the user to attack with added benefits such as soul devouring techniques where they rip the soul out of someone but it isn't usually explained that it is a cultivation technique that allows the user to then convert said soul into energy. The greatest example of this as individually is the blood baby absorbs life force, he takes it in, then converts the energy into his own

anybody else feel like zhuo fan is gonna get shocked when he gets back to his clan... i mean he handed a skill to the mountain bandit disciple to train the 500 some odd people to be fucking ninjas (as he said she was to operate in the dark) and guard dude we saw last time was sucessful in his skill with 1 kid at least who was also enduring

as I'm reading this I'm thinking
Bc hell vally decided to attack windgaze city for the martial technique, zhuo fan killed the apprentice plotting against the family then killed the elders that attacked. Next he kills a hell valley elder bc he is killing someone he has a life-death contact with. Later, he kills the forest elder, regant elder, and cripples the hell vally elder because they attacked him first. Lastly, makes it look like he killed vicious king bc he unleashed bat, but how do you get rid of hundreds of bats when 10 can put up a fight with a radient expert without an AOE attack.
Tell me, at what point was he at fault for the life-death battles?

and that's not the only one he killed... whats with that reaction already

also to @Teppi... you cant honestly expect him to be nice to outsiders can you? he only used the girl BEFORE they made the life-death oath. He even went out of his way to kill the 7th elder after warning her that she would die if she went back to attempt to save her family. Her death chance was his opportunity to actually refine the gold dust as he needed QUICK advancement
