The date finally arrived. For nearly a month, Sawyer had followed clues through Kanada City's shadows, the symbol, the poison, the missing caravans, the hidden trade routes, and the vanished merchant. Everything had led to this night. The night the Midnight Market opened.

And for the first time since arriving in Kanada City, Sawyer was about to step directly into enemy territory.

The atmosphere inside the Vance Estate was tense. Dinner had ended hours ago, yet nobody seemed interested in sleepi

  • Chapter 102 – Resource Hall

    Morning sunlight poured over the Outer Sect as disciples hurried along the stone paths.For most of them, today was reward day.After completing missions, disciples could exchange their contribution points for cultivation resources, martial manuals, medicinal pills, or better equipment.The Resource Hall was always one of the busiest places in Moon Brim Sect.The moment Sawyer, Wang, and Chi stepped inside, they were greeted by a sea of people.Long queues stretched before dozens of wooden counters.Shelves lined the walls, displaying bottles of spirit pills, polished weapons, cultivation manuals, and rare herbs sealed inside crystal boxes.The scent of medicinal herbs filled the enormous hall.Wang rubbed his hands together excitedly."Finally!""I'm getting a new spear.""My old one looks like it survived a war."Chi smiled."You mean because it did."Wang proudly patted the patched weapon strapped to his back."It survived Blackwood Ravine.""It deserves retirement."Sawyer chuckle

  • Chapter 101 – Military Theory

    "Battle is won long before the first sword is drawn."The old instructor's voice echoed across the massive lecture hall.Unlike martial training, the Military Theory Hall was nearly empty.More than three hundred Outer Disciples had been ordered to attend.Barely half that number actually came.The rest found excuses.Some claimed they were cultivating.Others accepted missions.Many simply believed military theory was useless.After all...Moon Brim Sect produced martial artists.Not generals.Wang yawned loudly as he slumped against the wooden bench."I don't understand why we're here.""I came to learn how to fight.""Not read dusty history."Chi nudged him with an elbow."Keep your voice down.""If the instructor hears you, we'll be cleaning the training grounds for a month."Wang groaned."I'd rather carry spirit stones again."Sawyer chuckled but kept his eyes fixed on the elderly man standing before the class.Unlike everyone else...He was genuinely interested.Very interested

  • Chapter 100 - No Evidence

    The first thing Sawyer did after returning to Moon Brim Sect...Was not rest.He did not return to his courtyard.He did not exchange stories with Wang and Chi.He walked straight toward the Hall of Missions.The same jade slip that had sent them into Blackwood Ravine was still tucked inside his sleeve.His clothes were torn.His boots were stained with mud.A shallow cut stretched across his forearm.Behind him, Wang and Chi carried the empty herb crates, equally exhausted.The moment they entered the hall, several disciples looked over."They're back.""They actually survived?""I heard Blackwood Ravine was assigned to them.""No wonder they look half-dead."Ignoring the whispers, Sawyer approached the registration desk.The elderly deacon looked up in surprise."You've returned already?"Sawyer placed the completed mission token on the counter."The delivery has been completed."The deacon inspected the token before nodding with satisfaction."Excellent.""You've fulfilled the assi

  • Chapter 99 - Blackwood Ravine

    The towering gates of Moon Brim Sect slowly disappeared behind them.Ahead lay a road few Outer Disciples wished to travel.Blackwood Ravine.It stretched for dozens of miles between two enormous mountain ranges, its cliffs so steep that sunlight barely reached the valley floor. Ancient trees twisted toward the sky like giant claws, their thick branches weaving together into a ceiling of endless darkness.A cold wind drifted through the ravine, carrying with it the scent of damp earth...And blood.Even Wang, who usually joked without restraint, lowered his voice."This place...""...feels wrong."Chi tightened the straps on the large wooden crate strapped to his back. Inside were dozens of rare medicinal herbs destined for Moon Brim Sect's southern herb station. If they were damaged, the punishment would be severe."The map says we only need to follow the main trail."He glanced toward Sawyer."...Assuming the map is correct."Sawyer unfolded the mission map once more.His eyes caref

  • Chapter 98 - Impossible Mission

    The Mission Hall was unusually crowded that morning.Rows of Outer Disciples stood before towering mission boards, eagerly searching for assignments that offered the best rewards with the least danger.Some argued over hunting missions.Others competed for escort requests from wealthy merchants.The atmosphere buzzed with excitement.To an Outer Disciple, missions meant everything.Contribution Points.Cultivation resources.Combat experience.Promotion.Without completing missions, advancement inside Moon Brim Sect was almost impossible.Sawyer, Wang and Chi entered together.Wang rubbed his hands excitedly."Please let there be another Beast Mountain mission."Chi gave him a strange look."Didn't we nearly die the last time?""Exactly."Wang grinned."We survived.""Which means we're professionals now."Chi sighed."I don't think that's how it works."Sawyer smiled faintly."Let's see what today's assignment is before celebrating."They joined the line of disciples waiting before th

  • Chapter 97 - The Older Brother

    The Inner Sect was a different world.The moment one crossed the massive Moon Gate that separated it from the Outer Sect, everything changed.The noise disappeared.The crowds vanished.Instead of worn stone paths, polished white jade roads wound between towering palaces and tranquil lakes.Spirit trees swayed gently in the mountain breeze.Waterfalls cascaded from cliff to cliff, filling the air with a soothing mist rich in spiritual energy.Even the disciples walked differently.No shouting.No unnecessary conversations.No pointless disputes.Every person carried themselves with quiet confidence.To become an Inner Disciple was to leave behind the chaos of the Outer Sect.It was where Moon Brim Sect nurtured its true elites.Luther Cain climbed the endless stone staircase with a heavy heart.His bruises had healed.His wounded pride had not.Every disciple he passed greeted him politely, but Luther could feel the difference.Some looked away too quickly.Others whispered after he w
