The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Disciple Court Hearing Part I.
The Wudang Sect's disciple courtroom was in a stand-alone building, separate from the sect's main building.In the room, sitting on the oversized chair at the front of the courtroom, was a Taoist Priest of the Wudang Sect named Yin Ying. He was the main elder of the Overall Court Bureau, a combination of the disciple court and the sect's general court.To the left and right of Priest Yin Guo, there were three main disciples who were referred to as leading disciples—Ferrin Teng, Torek Da, and Faelin Fen.Meanwhile, Eadric Rong himself appeared kneeling with his hands and neck shackled, in front of the tribunal. He looked like a prisoner ready to be punished.Expressionless and cold faces were clearly painted on the faces of the three disciple leaders as they stared mercilessly at the kneeling Eadric Rong.Priest Yin Ying, on the other hand, seemed to have a cold, expressionless face.The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense. This was the first time in fifty years that such a trial had
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Disciple Court Hearing Part II.
There was silence as Edmon Ouwyang stood in front of the court. He stared at the audience with a face that looked distressed and deeply hurt.Eadric Rong had not yet spoken when Teng Jihun loudly spoke."Edmon Ouwyang, first-year disciple of the Wudang Sect! Are you willing to testify, honestly and without lying?""I do... I do!" hissed Edmon Ouwyang with eyes glaring at the audience and a wounded look. That kid was really good at playing charades."Then testify!" shouted Ferrin Teng in a booming voice. Apparently, Ferrin Teng wanted to make today's trial a memorable lesson for the Wudang Sect disciples.He used Eadric Rong's mistake as a lesson for the sect disciples not to commit rash acts in the future.Edmon Ouwyang, a teenager who was very cunning and good at acting, stood in the center of the room.With a traumatized look on his face, he began to tell the story of the night in the Willow Forest. The whole time Edmon Ouwyang was telling his story, he was very good at making a goo

"Leader Liu!" Eadric Rong's voice trembled, full of anxiety, when he saw the Yunshui Chun village leader standing at the door of the disciple court.With heavy steps, Leader Liu walked into the courtroom. From his dazed movements and pale face, it was obvious that he was under tremendous pressure.Eadric Rong tried to look into the man's eyes, seeking the slightest hint of recognition or sympathy. However, not once did Leader Liu turn his head in Eadric Rong's direction.Instead, he rushed to stand in front of the leader's disciples, looking unconfident as he realized there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him."Leader Liu!" called Eadric Rong once again, his voice trembling.This young man hoped that this was his chance to save himself from all the accusations that Edmon Ouwyang had made.However, for some reason, the man was unwilling to look away even slightly, let alone let their two eyes meet. Eadric Rong was getting more and more agitated. He was sure something was not

That night in jail, Eadric Rong sat with a troubled expression. He did not expect that Edmon Ouwyang would slander him and even bribe Leader Liu of Yunshui Chun Village to testify falsely."I will not forget this slander! In the future, I will collect my debt from Edmon Ouwyang!" Eadric Rong's voice sounded haunted as he whispered softly.In front of him was a plate of rice with a piece of steamed bread and cold vegetables for dinner. Although he wasn't from a rich family, looking at the bland food, Eadric Rong had no appetite.Moreover, just this afternoon he was devastated by Edmon Ouwyang and Leader Liu's actions in the courtroom, making all the tasteless food seem like trash in his eyes.It was getting late in the night when the first bugle was sounded by the officer. The sound echoed, spreading across the plateau of Mount Wudang, breaking the silence of the night.Eadric Rong, a young man who still couldn't close his eyes, lay on his thin mattress. His heart was in turmoil, fille
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Whirlwind Tread - Part One.
Eadric Rong stood still, caught in a dilemma of two difficult choices. He could choose to stay in that cave prison, waiting for a decision from the Sect Master until his pearl core was broken, his legs and arms were broken, and he became a cripple for life.Or, he could choose to leave and become a fugitive of the Wudang Sect forever if he chose to follow the old man standing in front of him."I am not forcing you to follow me," the old man said in a soft yet firm voice. "However, I feel sorry for a talent like you. They will destroy your pearl core, which will make your future bleak. However, all decisions are in your hands."Hearing the urging, Eadric Rong knelt down and worshiped the old man.He banged his forehead against the cold, moss-strewn floor. "Senior, mighty old man. I have no purpose in leaving the Wudang Sect. Ever since I was a child, I've been a lone wolf, without a father and mother.""Living and working as a lackey in this Wudang Sect, that's what I know as my home.
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Tread of the Whirlwind - Part Two.
The third bell had just been struck by the night officer, signaling that it was early morning (around 03:00 - 05:00). At that time, the sky was still dark.While touring the disciples' quarters of Wudang Sect's outer courtyard, the gong struck by the night attendant could be heard echoing up the hundred steps leading to Wudang Sect's Peak. The sound of his shout could be faintly heard at the gate of the hundred steps."The Yin Shi period has arrived. Everyone is expected to be vigilant!""Two of the Sect's most dangerous criminals have escaped. If anyone knows of their whereabouts, immediately sound the bells as a distress signal!" The officer shouted while beating the bells and gongs in a regular rhythm.His voice echoed for a moment before finally disappearing, swallowed by the silence of the night.On the first flight of stairs to the top of the sect, Edmon Ouwyang could be seen limping along. He had just finished holding a feast in Tanshan City, hosting Leader Liu, and giving gift
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Fugitives.
The air in the Wudang Sect's main hall was filled with tension. No one dared to speak, not even the two new disciples who had just arrived.Tuk tak - tuk takThe sound of rhythmic footsteps came from the west of the hall.All eyes were immediately drawn to a figure who walked with dashing steps and exuded a powerful aura. The newly-arrived figure was wearing a simple-cut outfit, yet made of a classy material—silk.His hair was combed high up to the top of his head neatly, forming a small bun there. As a finishing touch, a pure silver hair lock appeared on top of his head.The man's face looked 60 years old, yet he didn't look old. He exuded a clean and dashing aura, yet made anyone who saw him feel respectful."Deputy Sect Leader, Master Caleb Yan...""Salute the Vice Sect Leader!"Everyone present in the hall immediately bowed to Caleb Yan. However, he ignored them, behaving as an official before the commoners.Without even turning his head, Master Caleb Yan simply waved his hand, as
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Three Swordsmanship Stances.
While the Wudang Sect disciples were busy searching for traces of the escaped Eadric Rong, two human figures were seen walking in the middle of the Lonely Forest, a forest filled with Mulberry plants.They seemed to be enjoying the scenery quietly.The taller figure was an old man dressed like a Taoist priest. His robes were shabby and his appearance looked disheveled, but he looked happy while singing.Meanwhile, the other figure with him was a teenager. Although he looked fifteen years old, he was actually only ten years old. They were Priests Zhang Qing Nian and Eadric Rong.The old priest walked leisurely and carefree, while Eadric Rong appeared to be carrying a wooden backpack with a headdress. His appearance made him look like a young Taoist selling prayers and talismans."Mr. Zhang, where are we going after passing through this Mulberry Forest?" asked Eadric Rong.Ever since the two of them left the Wudang Sect, Priest Zhang had never told Eadric Rong about their destination.H

The air around him vibrated, forming a pattern perceptible only to those sensitive to spiritual power.REST!Rong Guo hissed softly, his eyes shining sharply, full of concentration. The spiritual energy wave he released now imprisoned the red dragon more tightly, making the magical creature writhe in pain, as if burning from within.The dragon roared, trying to break free from the tightening spiritual prison, but in vain. The harder it struggled, the stronger the spiritual energy Rong Guo channeled became, thickening the illusionary prison that trapped the dragon."DUAR!"The red dragon’s final roar thundered throughout the hall, followed by a tremendous explosion.Unable to resist the power pressing on it, the dragon’s body shattered into pieces, exploding into shards of light that scattered in all directions before vanishing entirely."WUUT!"Suddenly, a peachwood staff appeared in Rong Guo’s hand, as if conjured from thin air.The long red ribbon that had gracefully wrapped the sta
The Strange Dancing Girl.
“Kill that girl! She’s a spy!” another shouted, his voice trembling with fear.State Teacher Xue Yinggui, who had sensed something strange from the start, moved faster than anyone else.In an instant, he stood before the strange girl, blocking her with astonishing speed. His palms opened wide, and from inside his robe, hundreds of silver needles shot out with deadly precision, raining down on the girl’s body.The State Teacher, a cultivator from the Green Valley Sect, was famous for his expertise in secret weapons. Each needle was soaked in deadly poison.In just a moment, the needles struck the girl’s body with perfect precision. She flinched, her eyes wide for a moment before her body collapsed lifelessly to the floor.But the terrifying red dragon... who could stop it? While the Emperor and Empress still seemed entranced, trapped in the girl’s magic, they could only watch helplessly as the illusory dragon floated closer, preparing to open its mouth and unleash a flame ready to engu
Tension in the Golden Dragon Hall – Part II.
It was common knowledge in the palace and throughout the capital that nothing in this land was beyond purchase. Whatever happened behind the scenes quickly became the talk of the town.The incident last night, when Crown Prince Su Qingheng met the Dragon Priest—the number one genius—spread like wildfire throughout the palace.The State Teacher, who was late in approaching Rong Guo, the genius stealing the spotlight, clearly felt humiliated.In his intrigue-filled mind, as someone from the Jianghu (martial world), the State Teacher did not want any Jianghu expert to side with Crown Prince Su Qingheng.However, his negligence in not taking strategic steps to approach Rong Guo made his heart burn hotter.Since last night, his face had been gloomy, as if bearing shame and disappointment.Everyone knew the State Teacher favored Ninth Prince Su Weizhao as the successor to the throne. Naturally, the reason was not far from personal ties.Su Weizhao was his martial arts disciple, and in his e
Tension in the Golden Dragon Hall.
State Teacher Xue Yinggui still appeared vigorous, with a dignified face resembling that of a man in his forties.However, in reality, the State Teacher was nearing seventy years old. Nonetheless, his spirit and sharp eyes still radiated a strength unweathered by age.His steady footsteps echoed through the Golden Dragon Hall as he was the first to enter the room, drawing the attention of everyone present.Every pair of eyes fixed on him, watching every movement and expression. In the silence that followed, the young champions immediately stood and saluted, bowing their heads with sincere respect.Yet, Xue Yinggui seemed undisturbed by all this. His gaze calmly swept across the hall, as if searching for someone. His sharp eyes stopped on the simple figure of the young man, Rong Guo.The Taoist attire worn by Rong Guo added to his calm and modest impression, though a great power was hidden behind his appearance.The State Teacher's gaze seemed piercing, as if trying to penetrate the de
The Hall of the Golden Dragon.
"Hand over your weapons, Master Tao," the warrior leader ordered in a stern tone, halting Eadric Rong's steps.Although Eadric Rong was already recognized as a young Dragon genius, with the latest nickname of the esteemed Dragon Priest, the strict rules of the palace prohibiting anyone from carrying weapons still had to be obeyed by him."I have no weapons," Eadric Rong replied in a calm, yet confident voice."Your storage ring?" the soldier asked again, confirming."Not wearing a spatial ring," said Eadric Rong, as he raised both hands, showing ten empty fingers without rings.Both hands were clean, with no rings indicating the storage of weapons. Thus, Eadric Rong was cleared to enter the palace."Please come in, Taoist Master. Please forgive us if we have inconvenienced you," the head guard said as he bowed respectfully, showing great appreciation.The dozen spears that had locked the gate were slowly lifted, and the majestic gate opened.Eadric Rong walked quietly through the long
Crown Prince – Part II.
Eadric Rong frowned, thinking for a moment before finally saying in an undeniable tone."He came with me. So, he is my man. It's fine if he comes and listens to the conversation later. I entrust all my activities to this Mr. Ouyang. He's like a manager to me," Eadric Rong said firmly, though he was actually lying to protect Ouyang Fai.Although that statement was not entirely true, Ouyang Fai felt an unexpected warmth creeping into his heart. They had only just gotten acquainted, yet their relationship felt so close, as if they had become old friends who already understood each other.Inside a private room heavily guarded by trained soldiers, Eadric Rong stepped in, followed by the Crown Prince who still maintained his royal aura. However, Ouyang Fai was only allowed to wait at the door, with the soldiers watching his every move closely."I'll be fine," Eadric Rong whispered, his voice soft but full of conviction, when he saw the anxious look on Ouyang Fai's face.Ouyang Fai nodded sl
Crown Prince.
Eadric Rong and Ouyang Fai were enjoying tea at the Chrysanthemum Tea House, a place where the calm and peaceful atmosphere was always the main attraction.Among the fragrant tea smoke, the music of Guzheng and Pipa sounded softly, played by opera girls with melodious voices and charming faces.The harmonious sound of the strings complemented the atmosphere, making every sip of tea more enjoyable. However, the cozy silence was suddenly broken by an unexpected commotion."The Crown Prince enters the hall! All bow and salute!" a guard shouted, his voice bouncing between the walls of the hall, as if echoing in the ears of everyone present.The clomping of soldiers' feet in iron boots accompanied the order, followed by the clatter of armor rubbing together.The originally calm atmosphere had now turned tense. Even the musician girls who had previously looked elegant with their smiles suddenly stopped their music and immediately bowed down, their faces pale with fear.The visitors, though
Qingxue Peak’s Secret Influence.
The soldier also announced in a stern tone, his voice no less loud than the man in the red robe."After the Young Dragon ranking list is issued by the Qingxue party, the Emperor cordially invites all young geniuses, ranked first to ten, to attend a banquet in the palace. On that occasion, the grand prize will be handed over directly by His Majesty!"Eadric Rong, who was already seated in the invited guest seat, not far from Ouyang Fai, returned his gaze to his new friend.He felt curious, wanting to know more about the organization that had just been mentioned. In a low voice, he asked Ouyang Fai who sat beside him, his voice barely audible in the din of the crowd."Brother Ouyang, what exactly is the Qingxue Organization?" asked Eadric Rong, his eyes narrowing slightly, indicating how seriously he wanted to know.Ouyang Fai smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling as if he was enjoying the moment of sharing his knowledge."Qingxue Peak, a secret organization located on the highest peak of
Hundred Swords, One Victor.
However, in the face of such ferocity, Eadric Rong remained calm, even looking like an immovable iceberg. With a subtle yet determined gesture, he pulled out the rombengan sword from the umbrella he always carried with him."Ferris Wheel Sword!" he exclaimed, with a tone that echoed throughout the arena.In an instant, an enormous energy containing the power of Sword Intention shot out from the sword sweep in Eadric Rong's hand.The energy seemed to split the air, forming a giant screen that emitted a deadly aura. From that screen, a hundred shadow swords were created, shooting out at lightning speed.Some of the swords formed a solid fortress of defense, while others attacked relentlessly, piercing the air with a loud roar, targeting the sweeping waves of the Ocean Rattling Fan launched by Bao Xuan.TRANG - TRANG! The sound of the clash rang out loudly, like the clanking of metals engaged in a deadly battle.Bao Xuan tried to shield himself with his fan, but the hundred sword energie
