Last night, I went to the police station at 11 p.m. It was finally handled by 5:30 this morning. I only slept for a few hours before coming back to make up for the missed update!
As usual, today's update will total 16,000 words, divided into four chapters of 4,000 words each!
This was the drawback Xu Qingcang had mentioned—the consequence of revealing Xu Kun's background too early!
Drawback one: from now on, anyone who wanted to make a move against Xu Kun would first have to weigh his background. Just like when Zhu Jiu traveled among the myriad races, even Saint Realm beings had to treat him courteously, even kneeling to welcome him.
If no one dared offend him, that meant there would be no challenges at all!
The previous plan of using the myriad races to temper Xu Kun, including Yang Jian's intentions, would become difficult to carry out.
After all, anyone who insisted on provoking someone they knew they could not afford to offend was like setting up camp beside a cesspit—they were not far from death!
And those who had once looked down on Xu Kun because of his race or realm would begin taking him especially seriously.
For example... Frieza of the Angel Race!
Drawback two: people might fear the Azure Kite and the Phoenix Race, but that did not mean they feared Xu Kun. Those who wanted him dead or envied him would become even more extreme. Yet if they wanted to deal with Xu Kun, they naturally would no longer act openly.
They would shift from the open to the shadows. A bright blade was easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow was hard to guard against. They would either not move at all, or strike like thunder, determined to kill him
