Old steed in the stable, white hair in twilight years.
Vivian knew that the being before her was a true elder who had witnessed the entire rise and fall of the Violet Family, their last guardian!
In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes, and she nodded vigorously.
"Let's go!" Sword Puppet raised his head, sword energy surging.
In the blink of an eye.
They arrived at the towering castle walls of Moonlily City.
Sword Puppet lifted his head, his gaze hazy as he looked towards a direction in the city, frowning:
"It's the aura of a headless knight, a high-ranking demon lord."
Vivian trembled, saying: "Sword Puppet Grandpa, you know him..."
Sword Puppet said deeply: "Thousands of years ago, I followed my master to the abyss a few times. Back then, this demon begged to join my master's command, but was rejected..."
Vivian was shocked, her face full of astonishment, never imagining such a thing.
Sword Puppet narrowed his eyes: "If it were thousands of years ago, I wouldn't have given such a creature a second thought. But after all, I am just a puppet, my strength has been declining, and now dealing with this guy will be troublesome..."
Vivian swallowed hard, saying: "Sword Puppet Grandpa, how much of a chance do you have to defeat him..."
Sword Puppet took a deep breath, saying:
"Less than fifty percent..."
Vivian trembled all over.
If there was only a fifty percent chance against this headless knight, then what about the Demon Lord...
Her eyes inevitably revealed immense fear.
She couldn't imagine... she really couldn't believe...
"I'm going!"
In an instant, Sword Puppet lifted his head, a faint glow of magical energy in his eyes.
The next moment.
He stepped on the crenel of the wall. White hair fluttering.
But just as he was about to leap into battle.
Suddenly.
From the direction of the distant city, accompanied by a long, shrill scream, an unknown spherical object instantly shot towards them.
The speed was astonishing.
Swoosh————
The sphere brushed past him and crashed into the wall with a bang.
Sword Puppet and Vivian were instantly startled.
"What just flew past us?!"
They quickly turned their heads and looked at the wall behind them in astonishment.
In an instant, they were shocked.
"This is..."
They saw that what had flown over was a demon's head!
At this moment.
The head was embedded there, lips moving, eyes vacant, nose bleeding, as if it had just suffered unspeakable torment and fear.
Sword Puppet almost immediately recognized the face and shuddered:
"This is... Achsius's head?!"
Vivian was greatly alarmed, saying: "This... this can't be real!!!"
And as that head finally awoke, its gaze fell on Sword Puppet and Vivian, and hope immediately shone in its eyes.
"Save me... save me..."
It screamed in terror, as if finding a lifeline.
"Take me away! Take me away now! Anywhere is fine, please take me away!!!"
The head was hoarse, tears streaming.
Seeing this scene.
Sword Puppet and Vivian were instantly dumbfounded.
What... what's going on?
Why is Achsius's head begging for mercy?
According to Sword Puppet Grandpa, isn't Achsius a high-ranking demon lord?!
Vivian was dazed: "Sword Puppet Grandpa, what's going on?"
Sword Puppet muttered: "I... I'm also puzzled!"
And just as they wanted to further understand the situation.
Suddenly, Sword Puppet felt an immense suction force.
In their shocked gaze.
The head embedded in the wall let out a terrified scream and was immediately sucked back by that terrifying force.
"Help! Help!!!"
The shrill scream echoed through the sky.
"It flew back!"
Sword Puppet and Vivian were shocked, they rushed to the edge of the wall, looking towards that direction in a hurry.
And the next moment, they suddenly heard a loud crash from afar.
In the direction of the distant city, it seemed something was being hammered, continuous crashing sounds.
But due to the distance, they couldn't see clearly.
But the next moment.
Bang——
Accompanied by that loud noise.
The head that had just flown back shot towards them again with a scream.
"Help!!!"
The scream quickly approached.
"It flew back again!!!" Vivian screamed.
Achsius's head swoosh—— passed by them.
Then it crashed into the same spot as before, but before it could speak, it was sucked back by that terrifying attraction again.
"Save—me—"
The scream was stretched long.
"It flew back again!" Vivian covered her face, greatly alarmed.
And in the next few minutes.
Achsius's head repeatedly bounced back and forth along the previous trajectory.
As if there was a being playing a wall-based online game.
Swoosh——
Swoosh——
The head repeatedly crashed into the wall and was sucked back, screams echoing.
Vivian was dumbfounded!
She stared with her jaw almost dropping, her eyes following the head back and forth.
"What's going on?!"
...
Meanwhile.
Outside Moonlily City, at the edge of the valley.
Nanako and several Sky Knights were still in a stalemate with the Abyss Society led by the Thorn Sorceress.
Nanako cast a spell to force back the giant bone dragon, immediately turning around with her ponytail flying:
"Quick! We must leave here immediately, we can't stay here and tangle with them anymore!"
She knew they had made a major strategic mistake.
If they had stayed in Moonlily City before, they might have been able to temporarily fend off the demonic invasion.
But now.
Their entire group was suppressed here, making Moonlily City almost like a defenseless little girl!
In this situation, Moonlily City could fall at any moment under the demonic assault!
But Arnold and the others had nothing to say.
Because they were facing a peak-level demonic sorceress and a terrifying abyss bone dragon.
With such a large gap in rank, if not for Nanako's peak-level mage power making the opponent wary, they might have already perished here.
The Thorn Sorceress looked down, her fingers gently touching her lips, arrogantly saying:
"Don't struggle, you can't go back, because even if you do, there's no chance. If you can't even defeat me, how could you possibly defeat the mighty Achsius?"
She gazed yearningly and fervently towards the direction of Moonlily City, smiling:
"Achsius is a powerful high-ranking demon lord, one man can destroy a nation. Unless the Law God descends, no one is his match!"
"Hehehehe—If I'm not mistaken, Achsius must have already slaughtered the entire Moonlily City!"
She laughed mockingly, her proud chest shaking.
Nanako and the others' faces turned pale.
...
"I—"
"Want—"
"To—"
"Go—"
"Home—"
In Moonlily City.
The head shed tears across the sky.
The scream was filled with longing for home, the voice of despair and the thirst for life, making people tear up.
Achsius's shrill scream echoed through the sky.
The feeling of being kicked like a ball, truly no one could understand!
He realized he was wrong!
He shouldn't have come here!
Gods!
Strike me with a bolt of lightning, give me a quick death!
Plop—
A tear, as the head flew past Vivian, splashed onto her face.
Vivian was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
She and the Sword Puppet beside her had been standing there, staring blankly at the head that was flying back and forth for a full five minutes.
"So what the hell is going on here!"
Vivian glared, feeling completely out of sorts.
She touched the tear that had splashed onto her face and exclaimed in shock:
"This demon is actually crying..."
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
