Chapter 273: Blood in the forest.
The zither’s song fell silent in a single breath.The melody, once the gentle heart of the inn, cut off so abruptly that even the air seemed to hold still.One of the bald men, muscles tensed and mana humming dangerously around him like a coiled serpent, took a heavy step forward toward Zelaf Ironclad.His eyes burned with fury, veins bulging beneath his scarred skin. The floor creaked ominously under his weight, and the inn’s chatter fell to a hushed silence.Then—A voice, feminine yet crushing in its authority, echoed from everywhere and nowhere all at once. It didn’t simply resound through the air; it pressed on it.It weighed on lungs, bent spines, and made even seasoned cultivators instinctively reach for their weapons. The pressure was suffocating, so immense it forced a few to their knees."If you want to die a dog’s death and have your corpse thrown into the bamboos to be devoured by mystic beasts... continue with what you're doing."There was no telling where the voice came
Chapter 272: Fukugen Mount inn.
Next Day — In an Inn Among the BambooTucked in the heart of a vast bamboo forest, where emerald stalks reached high into the misty sky and rustled like whispers of old spirits, stood the lone sanctuary known as Fukugen Mount Inn.Its dark wood frame was aged but sturdy, built in tiers like a noble pavilion, with sloped tiled roofs that glistened faintly from the moisture clinging to the air.The inn looked as if it had sprouted from the bamboo itself, a quiet watchtower amidst the endless sea of green.The noonday sun was muted by a thick layer of clouds, casting a soft silver light over the forest.Merchant caravans rolled lazily down the winding paths that snaked through the valleys, the wheels of their wagons creaking as they came to rest near the inn’s courtyard.Equinores and Horses snorted, the metallic clink of armor mixed with the sound of boots in mud, and guards rotated in and out of the three narrow roads that fed into this isolated haven.Each road curved away into dense
Chapter 271: Under the glow.
The night had settled over the Bluemoon manor, the breeze carrying a whisper of mountain-cold serenity through the open courtyard.Mana lamps glowed softly from crystal sconces along the perimeter walls, casting long shadows across the polished luna-stone tiles and illuminating the scene with a azure hue.In the heart of the courtyard, two jade cushions faced one another across a small tea table carved from moonwood.Seated upon them, with calm, practiced posture, were Oasis and his master, Conri Bluemoon.The steam rising from their tea danced in the breeze, faintly tinted with an azure glow.The silence between them was not awkward but meditative—filled with unspoken understanding.“So,” Conri finally spoke, breaking the stillness, his tone even, though the corners of his mouth lifted slightly with amusement, “you enjoyed seeing off Thalia’s girl?”His voice was smooth, deliberate. The kind of voice that revealed little but observed everything.Oasis glanced into his tea before taki
Chapter 270: It’s okay. I’ll escort her.
Around midmorning, the sun had fully emerged, scattering the last veils of mist over Brookfall.The manor’s tiled rooftops shimmered with light, and the warm golden hue of the sun danced across the training courtyard, where Oasis moved with practiced precision.His bare upper body glistened with sweat, muscles coiled with heat and mana, as he finished a final sequence of the Raging Phoenix Sword Technique—a fiery arc that sent a ripple of wind coursing through the garden.When the heat had intensified.Oasis exhaled calmly and sheathed his sword, wiping his face with a cloth before heading inside for a cold bath in the manor’s spring-fed chamber.Meanwhile, in adjacent training fields, Venak and Du Shiye were also engrossed in their respective drills—Venak practicing mist-based sword arts, while Shiye tested his poison arts using conjured mist clouds and controlled needles.The air was alive with their effort, silent but filled with unspoken focus.Not long after, the three regrouped
Chapter 269: Old and New.
About a week later in Brookfall, the morning mist crawled low across cobbled streets and tranquil courtyards, as if reluctant to part with the silence of dawn.Slowly, as the first golden rays of sunlight pierced through the veil, the mists withdrew—dissolving into shimmering dew on rooftops and jade railings.Birds chirped atop willow trees that lined the canals, and the faint hum of life began to return to the great city of Springfield—Brookfall.Brookfall, one of Springfield’s crown jewels, was a city of terraced gardens, floating market pavilions, and crystalline bridges that spanned the river like arched threads of silk.The river itself split the city in two, its luminous waters fed by ancient springs. Mana lanterns floated lazily above street corners, flickering off as daylight grew stronger.The aroma of fresh bread, tea, and incense drifted from bakeries and shrines, intermingling with the scent of spring blossoms.In one of the more elegant corners of the city stood the Blue
Chapter 268: Springfield - Honoring the Pact.
Jovial leapt from the invaders' ranks.Dark mana coiled around his body, thick and writhing like living smoke.It hissed as it condensed, crawling up his limbs and gathering at his back, forming shadows shaped like fangs and wings.His eyes glowed like burning coals as his killing intent exploded into the battlefield.“I won’t be humiliated by a brat!” he roared. “I’ll kill you before Heaven does!”With a bellow that cracked the air, Jovial shot toward Oasis, slicing through the air like a spear of vengeance.The battlefield blurred as his mana formed a vicious trail behind him, casting flickering shadows over the wounded ground.Conri, watching jovial who was now in a distance, didn’t flinch."Breaking your promise," he muttered as his gaze turned sharp.His gaze followed Jovial's reckless flight toward Oasis, but his attention sharpened when he noticed two other Ancestors near him.Instead of rushing to help Jovial…They turned to flee.“You all dare?” Conri's voice echoed—calm, dee
