turmoil!

“The Great Qin declared war on the Great Wei border without warning, resulting in heavy casualties for the Great Wei army. Feng Qingyang, who was escorting a cross-border caravan, was caught in the crossfire. By the time he returned to Mai City, he was severely wounded, and two Protectors were lost in battle.”

“If Mai City hadn’t been so close to the border, this escort team might not have even made it back!”

“You, sitting in charge of the escort agency, secretly thought, ‘This is bad!’ This news will surely not be kept from the outside world!”

“Mai City has three major families: the Zhou family, the Murong family, and the Li family!”

“Furthermore, the Secret Sect is lurking in the shadows, eyeing them like hungry jackals! They will never miss an opportunity.”

“And now their only Grandmaster is severely injured, the country is at war, and the imperial court is powerless to manage local affairs. The timing, location, and human factors have all aligned!”

“As a modern person, you never trusted human nature in an apocalypse.”

“You decisively ordered everyone to secretly leave the escort agency and regroup in Lin City, 100 kilometers away from Mai City.”

“Because you are the second-in-command of the escort agency, possess high strength, and are ruthless, with long-standing prestige, most people chose to obey you! They began to pack their belongings.”

“That night, you divided the escort agency into ten teams, leaving the city from different directions!”

“However, you underestimated the reaction speed of these jackals, or perhaps one of the escort agency’s escorts was tempted and betrayed your retreat route.”

“Soon after leaving the escort agency, team after team was precisely intercepted. The sounds of fighting spread throughout Mai City, and doors were tightly shut as families did not want to get involved!”

“You led Wind Spirits and the severely wounded Feng Qingyang, along with more than a dozen of Feng Qingyang’s trusted escorts, quickly fleeing towards the East Gate.”

“However, as the second-in-command of the escort agency, the lineup sent to deal with you was also the most luxurious! A full sixty to seventy people, charging from the rooftops in all directions towards the team you led! There were 8 experts in the Lian Jin Realm Stage Ten alone! The rest were at least Lian Rou Realm martial artists.”

“In an instant, the team you led was completely surrounded!”

“The leader made no attempt to conceal his identity, shouting loudly: “Kill!!””

“You snorted coldly: “A bunch of rotten fish and shrimp, daring to block me!!” You then drew your saber and led more than ten people to break through! You, yourself, charged head-on! Your long-hidden Giant Strength talent activated!”

“You, alone, suppressed the crowd. Each saber strike was powerful and heavy; whoever blocked died, like an awakened lion.”

“Your exquisite Martial Skill made it difficult for the opponents to parry. You forcefully carved a bloody path!”

“Your strength was already enough to contend with a Half-step Grandmaster!”

““Quickly take the Escort Leader away!” You shouted loudly amidst the chaotic battle.”

““Suppress him!!” Eight Lian Jin Realm Stage Ten martial artists simultaneously attacked you, making it difficult for you to disengage, forcing you to turn and block!”

“The combined attack of the eight shook your internal organs, making them unable to withstand the pressure, and your tiger’s mouth split open.”

“Just then, an old man appeared at the end of the street, drawing his bow and firing an arrow!”

““Brother Fan, be careful!””

“Pfft!! You felt as if something had pierced your back; the arrowhead almost touched your heart.”

“A tremendous force tore through your muscles, and then you felt a large area of your back become warm!”

“Your pupils constricted, and with a burst of Giant Strength, you forcefully shook off the eight people, broke the arrow, and turned around.”

“That graceful figure had already taken the brunt of the damage for you!”

“That unassuming young girl who had always been by your side now had a bloody hole pierced through her heart by a tremendous force; it was clear she had no chance of survival!”

“Her blood, along with your clothes, was dyed red!”

“Her right hand gripped you tightly, blood continuously overflowing from her mouth, as she gave you a sad smile and said: “I was too attached to appearances. Meeting… was already the best outcome, why must I suffer the pangs of lovesickness…””

“Before she could finish her sentence, her heart stopped completely!”

““Zhou Qian, I’ll fight you to the death!!” Seeing his daughter die, Feng Qingyang disregarded life and death, achieving an extreme sublimation as he charged towards the old man!”

“You felt your entire brain about to explode, an endless killing intent filled your mind. Under extreme emotion, your Cultivation constraint was broken, reaching the Peak of Lian Jin Stage Ten.”

“You succumbed to madness, transforming into a killing machine. Wherever you went, blood rained down!”

“The entire street was filled with severed limbs.”

“Until another family’s Grandmaster appeared and struck you down!”

“You died! You lived for a total of ten years!”

“This simulation has ended!”

“Based on the simulation process, you can choose one reward to extract.”

“1. Purple Trait: Comprehension Ability”

“2. Martial Dao Cultivation (bound with all Cultivation Technique proficiency)”

“3. The geographical location of Mai City!”

“4. Specific intelligence on Feng Qingyang being caught in the crossfire and severely wounded!”

“5. Mysterious Red Bead”

“6. Combat Experience”

After reading the long simulation, Chen Fan was still somewhat disoriented!

Although the duration of this simulation was not as long as the thirty-year one, the situation was clearly more complex! Too many things had happened, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

If he had gone alone, he definitely could have escaped! But the simulated him chose to take the team with him!

“Sigh, although I’m not a good person, I must repay kindness to achieve clarity of thought.”

After a sigh, Chen Fan looked at the simulation rewards, which were incredibly rich!

The purple trait: Comprehension Ability, was definitely necessary!

What surprised Chen Fan was that Martial Dao Cultivation and Cultivation Technique proficiency were bound together! This made things much more convenient.

As for 3 and 4, while useful, they were not essential; there were ways to bypass them or find them in reality.

The fifth item made Chen Fan a bit conflicted. While this item offered rapid improvement, it was quite sinister; the higher the Cultivation, the easier it was to lose control and succumb to madness.

However, the sixth item, that was a full ten years of combat experience from escorting! That was absolutely useful!!

This was something that couldn’t be obtained by just Cultivating in the mountains!

Having power without combat skills made it very easy to be defeated by someone of a lower level.

Now Chen Fan was torn between 2 and 6. 1 was undisputed!

After some thought, Chen Fan ultimately chose 2.

After all, this was tangible Martial Dao Cultivation, the combat power of a Half-step Grandmaster level.

As for combat experience, he could just roam the world with his sword next time.

The next moment, Chen Fan felt a terrifying power surge through his Meridians within his body!!

Body Tempering! Body Tempering!

Great sinews like Dragons and snakes rising from the ground, gathering immense power!

Chen Fan’s eyes lit up as he felt the power surging within him, and he couldn’t help but exclaim,

“I feel it, power is surging!!”

However, the burden on his heart made Chen Fan’s face darken slightly, feeling the pressure increase, his breathing becoming slightly hurried.

‘No way, is the end of my Martial Dao Cultivation going to reach its limit so quickly?’

At the same time, at the end of a vast underground plaza, a giant stone statue’s eyes glowed with a crimson light.

Countless women knelt in fear and trepidation.

An ancient and majestic voice slowly emanated,

“The heavenly secrets have changed!”
