Xion grasped the meaning behind Charlie’s words.


    While eight-star fighters are incredibly rare, this station is just one of the brief stops for Charlie’s express train. I feel fortunate to have boarded this train, but I don’t have much time to take in the scenery here, as we will soon be on our way to the next destination.


    Next up is Mingjing Dzogchen!


    Xion realized she had expressed her gratitude too many times. Feeling weak and overwhelmed in the presence of Charlie’s kindness, she knelt on one knee, sped her fists tightly, and looked up with determination in her eyes. “Mr. Wade, I will give my all!”


    Charlie responded with a warm smile.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Meanwhile, He Hongsheng felt a rush of excitement.


    He understood the implications of Charlie’s words—the future was bright for Xion, whose cultivation would continue to advance. Being young, Xion had the potential to quickly rise within the Elms family, reaching a dark realm that had been beyond the ancestors’ wildest dreams for centuries!


    For a warrior like He Hongsheng, the dark realm had once seemed like an unattainable peak.


    Though the Martial Dao includes the Transformation Realm and Grandmaster Realm, to him, these levels felt like distant dreams. Achieving the Dark Realm was seen as the ultimate goal of Martial Dao, a pinnacle almost unreachable.


    But now, Xion stood at the threshold of that dark realm.


    …


    The following day, soldiers from the Wanlong Pce began to arrive in Aurous Hill from various corners of the world.


    Some made direct flights into Aurous Hill from neighboring nations, while othersnded in nearby cities before taking different modes of transportation to reach their destination.<fn479f> This update is avable on Find~Novel</fn479f>


    The reason for this careful approach was Charlie’s uncertainty about the presence of any of the three remaining earls of the Qing Dynasty in the country.


    If none were here, things would be easier. However, if any were present, they might grow suspicious upon noticing arge group of warriors gathering and moving together. Should the Wanlong Pce warriors attract their attention, they could easily be followed to the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Hotel.


    Charlie’s caution was not unwarranted.


    At that moment, Uncle Chang Sheng, the most powerful of the four Earls of the Qing Dynasty, was actively searching for Lin Wan’er (ni) in Eastcliff.


    During thest video conference, Lord Ying had given him new orders: to head to Aurous Hill and locate Bruce and Lydia (Ava) (Charlie’s mother)’s only son, and once found, to eliminate him.


    However, the primary focus of this mission remained on locating Lin Wan’er (ni) and her ring.


    Moreover, Willie had little interest in pursuing Charlie. To him, Bruce and Lydia (Ava) (Charlie’s mother) were merely the deceased subordinates of a defeated general, making their son insignificant.


    Furthermore, even if he seeded in finding and killing Charlie, it wouldn’t earn him much recognition from the Po Qinghui (Benn). In contrast, finding Lin Wan’er (ni) held immense importance for the British Lord. Securing her whereabouts and the ring would undoubtedly lead to substantial rewards from the kingdom.


    This is why Willie was not in a rush to head to Aurous Hill.


    He set a deadline for himself: if he couldn’t locate Lin Wan’er (ni) in Eastcliff by September 1st, he would then proceed to Aurous Hill to track down Charlie.
