Story context
This chapter marks the beginning of a calculated, devastating strike by a vengeful Ji Ning against the Seamless Gate’s infrastructure in the Dongxuan Major World. It’s not a battle, but a massacre. Anyone who thinks Ji Ning is just a hotheaded avenger is in for a rude awakening. After locking down every last clone of the Celestial Immortal Shaoyan Chou through his master's intelligence, he systematically wipes them out using the overwhelming power of his Innate treasure. The Seamless Gate’s regional command, the Iron Weapon Tower, observes the destruction but completely misreads the situation, dismissing him as just another lucky madman. The stage is set for a terrifying game of cat and mouse, where the cat knows exactly where all the mice are hiding.
Why it matters
Get ready, because Ji Ning’s “rampage” is anything but random. This chapter is a brilliant piece of strategic misdirection. He puts on a perfect act as an emotionally unhinged avenger, a “madman just out for revenge.” This cliché story is so believable that the seasoned experts of the Seamless Gate fall for it completely. While they’re busy preparing to ambush a “lucky Celestial Immortal” with a fancy flag, they have no idea they are facing a Pure Yang True Immortal-level threat armed with supreme Innate treasures and the intelligence of a cosmic chessmaster. The hunter has been fooled into thinking he’s hunting a rabbit. Enjoy the delicious irony as the arrogant Golden Red Couple plan their next move, completely unaware of the predator they are truly hunting.
