“Wait!” Charles barked sharply, freezing everyone in their tracks.

He leaned forward, his voice dripping with intrigue.

“I have intel from my informants. Apparently, Alex is hiding something extremely rare—the essential ingredient of the Emerald Elixir.:

“If you can pry that secret from his greedy hands, Clara walks free, and you'll be rewarded with ten million dollars!”

Florence’s eyes widened with greedy anticipation, glittering like diamonds catching the light.

“Ten million dollars? Are you

    The mountain wind carried the first distant thunder of hooves and sword-song across the shattered gates of Wudang.One hundred and fifty Qingcheng disciples swept into the courtyard like a storm front, white robes snapping, blades gleaming under the midday sun.Their formation was flawless—arrogance wrapped in martial precision.They had heard the whispers for three long centuries: Wudang was dying—ravaged by the second-rate Yin Yang Sect’s merciless onslaught. Its walls fractured and fell, its legendary name reduced to ridicule among the righteous sects.A first-rate power like Qingcheng could swallow them whole and still have room for dessert.They reined in hard. Dust billowed around them.Every eye took in the half-collapsed outer wall, the great gate hanging drunkenly from a single hinge, the weeds pushing through cracked flagstones. A low murmur rippled through their ranks.“Wudang was so pathetic. Already on its knees.”High on the cracked steps of the main hall, Alex waited al

    The citizens of Qingshui erupted.A stout housewife, her apron still dusted with flour from the morning’s baking, snatched up her best embroidered tablecloth and hurled it high like a battle flag. She stormed straight toward the nearest Qingcheng disciple, moving with the raw fury of an angry lioness.“We spent all morning polishing that silver!” she screamed, her voice cracking with pure, unfiltered rage. “Do you have any idea how long it took to make it look tempting enough?”Fat merchants dropped to their knees in the dusty street, clutching desperately at the disciples’ robes. “Please,” one begged, voice trembling, “just go away. Don’t ruin my business.”“Old man,” one disciple replied, struggling to keep his tone steady, “we’re here to protect your business from being robbed.”A silk trader wailed in despair. “Heroes, please! We finally had robbers—real ones! Go away! Let them rob us!”“Last time we got robbed, my wife got a new dress. What do heroes even bring? Moral lectures?”

    High above on the roof of Bai Mansion, Alex watched the scene unfold through Mother Ai’s eyes. The blue interface tallied each new infraction in real time—two hundred and fourteen already, and the sun had barely cleared the eastern hills. A thin smile touched his lips.“Record everything,” he said softly.Mother Ai’s voice answered inside his head, calm and precise. “All visual and audio evidence logged, City Lord. The swarm is ready.”In the shadowed storage rooms beneath the mansion, thousands of sleek black drones stirred to life once more, silent as death itself. They rose on whisper-quiet wings and slipped out into the bright morning air, invisible against the sky.Down in the streets the bandits laughed louder now, drunk on easy fortune. Black Wolf slung a heavy sack of silver over his shoulder and grinned at the sky.“Boys,&r

    The sects moved like men who had tasted gold in their dreams and refused to wake. Greed had lit the fire, but caution kept it banked.In the torch-lit halls of the many Sect, elders hunched over maps of Wudang Mountain while disciples sharpened blades and counted supply wagons.They argued in low voices about alliances, supply lines, and the exact hour they would strike. Letters flew between mountain peaks on swift hawks.Every elder made certain his own courtyard was secure, his concubines guarded, his treasury locked before any man dared the long road.They were not fools. They had lived long enough to know that the strong ruled the Jianghu only until someone stronger waited around the next bend.That makes it a slow move for any sect to try attacking the Wudang Sect in Qingshui City.The bandits were different animals.Word of the empty city reached the hills by dusk. No soldiers. No patrols. Just fat merchants and soft civilians left unguarded. The chieftains did not waste time on

    When night came, Alex dragged Zhuge Liang over for dinner.He was deep in thought.If he meant to keep the promise he had made—five years to drag Wudang from the shadows and plant its banner at the very top of the Jianghu—he would need more disciplined blades. He would need an army. Real soldiers.People who would bleed and die for Wudang without hesitation, without question.Slaves were the fastest way. Once taken, they could not protest. Even if they protested, they would die. They had no human rights. They were a deadly machine in the making.In the Jianghu, the strong ruled. Defeat them, and the laws of heaven and earth itself bound them as slaves to the victor. No contracts. No oaths. Just raw, unbreakable submission.Every enemy they crushed became another sword in Wudang’s hand. Every rival lured here and broken became another brick in the foundation he was building.He needed more enemies.A great deal more.Last time, he had moved all the prisoners from Qingshui City to the W

    The roar of five thousand Wudang voices crashed over the courtyard like a breaking wave, the sound so loud it rattled the shattered stones beneath the invaders’ boots.For one frozen heartbeat, the Yin Yang Sect stood motionless in the center of the killing field they had just created for themselves.Sect Master Yin Long’s cruel smile died on his face. His eyes—those black-ice chips that had terrified half the Jianghu—widened in disbelief as he stared upward at the unbroken ring of white robes.One thousand of his fighters. Against five thousand Wudang disciples.Five times their number, and every last one of them standing on the rooftops, the walls, the air, swords still humming beneath their feet.Flying swords.Only Foundation Establishment cultivators could ride the blade like that. Every single Wudang disciple here had already stepped into that realm.Meanwhile, most of Yin Long’s own force—outer disciples, hired blades, even many of the inner sect—were still struggling at Qi Con
