The voice continued.
"He failed."
The lights flickered.
"He died."
Another pause.
"And before he died..."
"...we took everything from him."
The corridor walls opened.
Dozens of glass chambers illuminated.
Everyone froze.
Inside...
Bodies.
Some old.
Some young.
Men.
Women.
Cultivators.
Artificial tubes connected to their bodies.
Lin Yue’s face went pale.
"No..."
Bloodlines.
Experiments.
Decades of them.
The voice continued.
"We learned from his blood."
"His system."
"His women."
Shen Tian’s aura changed.
The entire underground complex trembled.
Rose immediately looked toward him.
"Shen Tian."
His green eyes glowed gold.
The voice continued.
"And now..."
"...you brought us another Court."
Silence.
Every woman understood.
The invitation had never been for Shen Tian alone.
COME ALONE, VILLAIN.
It was bait.
They expected him to refuse.
They wanted the women to come.
Shen Tian stared at the camera.
Then...
He smiled.
Cold.
Terrifying.
"Good."
The voice stopped.
Shen Tian stepped forward.
"That saves me time."
Silence.
"You wanted my Court?"
His Domain began opening.
The entire corridor shook.
"Come take it."
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Golden pressure exploded.
Doors shattered.
Cameras burst.
Lights broke.
Every hostile cultivator in three surrounding corridors collapsed simultaneously.
Rose stared.
Then...
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"Quiet part is over."
Rose smiled.
Finally.
"Good."
. . .
Alarms screamed.
Doors opened.
Armed soldiers rushed into the hall.
Then...
Stopped.
Shen Tian stood at the center.
Women behind him.
Golden dragon Qi surrounding them.
The Sovereign’s Court threads connected.
Not chains.
Not commands.
Connections.
Choices.
Trust.
The soldiers fired.
Shen Tian didn’t move.
Bullets stopped in midair.
Hundreds.
Frozen.
Chu Zijin stared.
Then...
"Okay."
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"What?"
"That’s cool."
He smiled.
Then...
Snapped his fingers.
Every bullet dropped.
Rose moved.
Shen Yan moved.
Bai Xue moved.
Chi Lingxi moved.
Four directions.
Four attacks.
The first line of soldiers collapsed.
Not dead.
Disabled.
Rose shot weapons from hands.
Shen Yan shattered armor.
Bai Xue moved through blind spots.
Chi Lingxi’s Dragon Meridian Qi struck pressure points.
Shen Tian watched.
Then...
Smiled.
They didn’t need him to do everything.
Good.
. . .
Ling Shuangxue pulled Qin Ruobing behind reinforced cover.
Then...
A guard appeared from the side.
Ling Shuangxue turned.
Body Tempering Qi erupted.
Her palm struck his chest.
BOOM!
The guard flew backward.
Shen Tian looked.
Ling Shuangxue froze.
Their eyes met.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Beautiful."
Her cheeks became red.
"Now?"
"Good timing."
She stared.
Then...
Another guard attacked.
Ling Shuangxue turned.
Hit him harder.
Bai Xue laughed from across the corridor.
"He motivated her."
Ling Shuangxue shouted...
"QUIET."
. . .
Tang Meilin stayed beside Gu Qingya.
Two guards appeared.
Gu Qingya moved first.
Her cultivation wasn’t exceptional.
But her control was excellent.
She dodged.
Caught the wrist.
Twisted.
Tang Meilin kicked the second guard directly between the legs.
Silence.
Every nearby man flinched.
The guard collapsed.
Tang Meilin froze.
Then...
Looked toward Shen Tian.
He stared.
She became red.
"What?"
Shen Tian slowly nodded.
"Effective."
Rose burst out laughing.
Tang Meilin pointed.
"He had armor!"
Shen Tian nodded.
"Not there."
Her face became crimson.
"SHEN TIAN."
. . .
Li Lian and Ruan Yizhen moved together.
No dramatic techniques.
No overwhelming cultivation.
Coordination.
One distracted.
The other struck.
One blocked.
The other moved.
Years of knowing each other made their movements natural.
Shen Tian watched.
Then...
Li Lian noticed.
She smiled.
"Stop staring."
"Why?"
Ruan Yizhen answered while kicking a weapon away.
"Because you’re distracting."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Sounds like a skill issue."
Ruan Yizhen froze.
Then...
"You did not just say that."
Adrian’s influence.
Terrible.
. . .
Chu Zijin stayed behind Rose.
As promised.
Mostly.
Then...
A strange pulse moved through the corridor.
Sound.
Low frequency.
Lin Yue winced.
Rose stumbled.
Several women covered their ears.
Shen Tian’s eyes narrowed.
Sonic suppression.
Hidden emitters activated.
Cultivator Qi destabilized.
Then...
Chu Zijin froze.
Sound.
Her specialty.
Not cultivation.
Not combat.
Sound.
She looked upward.
Listened.
Then...
Her eyes sharpened.
"Shen Tian."
"What?"
"I can break it."
Rose looked toward her.
"How?"
Chu Zijin pointed.
"The frequencies are synchronized."
"Feedback?"
She nodded.
"I need access to the speaker system."
Bai Xue smiled.
"Finally."
Chu Zijin looked toward her.
"What?"
"Karaoke saves the mission."
Silence.
Chu Zijin’s eyes widened.
Then...
A huge smile appeared.
"I KNEW IT."
Gu Qingya closed her eyes.
"No."
. . .
Chu Zijin connected her communications device.
Found the internal audio network.
Then...
She adjusted the frequency.
Rose stared.
"You know how to do that?"
"I’m a professional singer."
"That doesn’t explain hacking."
"I toured internationally."
"That explains less."
"Quiet."
Then...
Chu Zijin inhaled.
And sang one note.
Clear.
Pure.
Perfect.
The building answered.
Feedback screamed through every speaker.
The suppression frequency collapsed.
Glass shattered.
Emitters overloaded.
Every Crowned Serpent soldier grabbed their ears.
The heroines’ Qi stabilized.
System notification.
Unique Heroine Contribution Detected
Chu Zijin has disrupted Fate suppression array through acoustic resonance
Sovereign’s Court Formation Progress: +1%
Chu Zijin looked toward Shen Tian.
He smiled.
"Useful."
Her cheeks warmed.
"Only useful?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"Beautiful too."
Her face turned crimson.
She nearly dropped the device.
Rose stared.
"Focus."
Chu Zijin immediately looked forward.
"Right."
. . .
They moved deeper.
Sublevel two.
Medical wing.
Lin Yue took the lead now.
Bodies in chambers.
Records.
Blood samples.
Surgical rooms.
Her expression became colder with every step.
Then...
She stopped.
One chamber.
A girl.
Maybe nineteen.
Unconscious.
Lin Yue rushed forward.
Checked vitals.
"Alive."
Another.
A man in his thirties.
"Alive."
Another.
Older woman.
"Alive."
Dozens.
Lin Yue looked toward Shen Tian.
"We can’t leave them."
"We won’t."
"Moving them could kill some."
"Then we don’t move them yet."
Rose looked toward him.
"Reinforcements?"
Shen Tian nodded.
"Call the medical teams."
Rose did.
Lin Yue stared at the chambers.
Then...
Her hands trembled slightly.
Shen Tian noticed.
He stepped beside her.
"Lin Yue."
She looked up.
"They’ve been cutting into them."
"I know."
"Some of these people..."
Her voice tightened.
"They’ve been here for years."
Shen Tian placed his hand over hers.
She froze.
Her trembling stopped.
"Save who you can."
Lin Yue stared at him.
Then...
Nodded.
"I will."
Her fingers turned beneath his.
Then...
Held his hand.
For just a second.
Maybe two.
Then...
She released him.
Back to work.
Xu Ning smiled softly.
No joke.
Not this time.
