The City's Dark Secret.
Sitting on a soft mahogany chair covered with thick cushions that cradled him, Guo Jiang enjoyed the service of the nobles offered there. Tea steamed, dishes arrived with perfect timing.The coachman Guo Jiang hired also enjoyed the special service with gratitude. His room had been comfortable, treatment exceeding expectations for hired driver.While enjoying hot Hong Cha and goose liver with steamed buns that melted, Guo Jiang began to dig up information from Cui Cheng. At that time, it was 9 a.m. in morning sunlight, or according to Cui Cheng the Si Period. The time when snakes emerge from their nests to hunt, auspicious hour for discovery."Manager Cui, there is one thing I have been wanting to ask since last night." Curiosity demanded answers."Just say it young master, anything you wish to know." Permission granted freely.When Guo Jiang questioned Manager Cui with casual tone, his sensitive ears as a practitioner noted something. His cultivation in the early Dao realm called Kai
The Emerald's Authority.
With a condescending expression twisting his features, Wuying said with venom. "Words without proof, it's just mere gossip from a hired driver! I won't believe that this young man has enough money to stay in the best room in our Moonlight Mansion!" The servant put on a haughty face, arms crossed.Guo Jiang didn't let these demeaning words bother him in the slightest. He remained calm like still water, expression unchanged."How much does it cost to stay in the best room at Moonlight Mansion?" Guo Jiang asked casually with mild curiosity. The question was simple, direct.Still maintaining a sneering expression of superiority, Wuying replied lazily with deliberate slowness. "One thousand mid grade Energy Stones, and they must be paid in advance!" His face was full of challenge, certain of victory. "Do you have that much money on your person?"Guo Jiang then took out a green gemstone the size of an adult's big toe from his pouch. The green gemstone was an Emerald of exceptional quality,
A Disdainful Welcome.
It wasn't even late in the day when Guo Jiang arrived at the Moonlight Mansion with anticipation. The journey had been long, dust coating his simple robes from hours on the road."This place is one of the best hotels or inns in the Ancient City, Young Master," said the carriage driver as they arrived in front of a tall, four story building. His voice carried pride, as if personally responsible for the establishment's reputation.The glow of lanterns glittered in front of the hotel with warm amber light, making the sign "Moonlight Mansion" stand out against darkening sky. However, the lobby was strangely quiet despite the welcoming illumination. There were no people moving in or out with the bustle typical of a prosperous hotel, silence heavy and unnatural.The restaurant or cafe directly adjacent to the lobby and reception area also appeared gloomy despite decoration. Although the restaurant was quite large and lit by colorful lanterns that cast rainbow shadows, the atmosphere was any
Xathanael's Urgent Mission.
The figure, who turned around and looked at Guo Jiang with widening eyes, his face filled with shock. After recognition dawned, he hugged Guo Jiang tightly and began to cry with overwhelming emotion. Years of worry released in that moment."Brother Guo Jiang, you are still alive! Fatty is so relieved to hear the news that you have returned to this Ice Island," Fatty said in a voice filled with admiration and joy. Tears streamed down his round face, unchecked and unashamed.The two of them exchanged old stories of past adventures and shared hardships. But Guo Jiang had to end it quickly despite desire to linger. "I'm afraid I'll be late for the scheduled departure of the ship to Suzhong City in the Northwest! Sometime after I'm done with this mission, I'll visit you properly!" The promise was sincere, friendship valued despite duty.As a farewell gift that spoke of generosity, Fatty gave Guo Jiang a trendy outfit complete with accessories. A hat or cap was included, a typical Northern

They are scattered throughout the southern and western regions of the continent, hidden by fate. Seekers searched for centuries without success, treasures remaining elusive.However, in the last three hundred years, ten secret clans have emerged that dominate the southern and western regions. No one knows how these ten unknown clans suddenly became the most influential in the western and southern regions without apparent cultivation heritage. Their rise was meteoric, suspicious in its speed.Although they weren't part of the alliance of powerful sects on the S
The Immortal's Fall.
This incident happened almost a thousand years ago in forgotten history. The event would shape the fate of entire regions, echoes rippling through centuries.When the sky on the western horizon turned red like blood, after several days a strange storm phenomenon littered the horizon. The celestial display was unprecedented, terrifying in its beauty and destruction."What is causing these space storms that are littering our horizon with unnatural fury?" Voices rose in panic across villages."Look at this disaster. Space dust and sand are covering all the crops without mercy. We're going to have crop failures!" Farmers despaired, watching their livelihoods buried."Even breathing has become difficult with each passing hour. The air is now completely polluted!" Mothers covered their children's faces with cloth, protection inadequate against the choking atmosphere.That was some of the conversation among the people of the old South, West, and Northwest regions.
