The bird swooped towards Eadric Rong at an incredible speed, leaving a trail of flames in the air.

Frightened expressions were painted on the faces of the audience. They stared at the scene before their eyes with bated breath.

"That young Taoist must be doomed! That huge flame isn't something he can handle, even if he has Zircon Tortoise cultivation," a spectator whispered in a trembling voice.

However, an unexpected turn of events left everyone wide-eyed and amazed. Although the Taoist's weapon was a tattered and old umbrella, looking like a worthless item, Eadric Rong waved the umbrella confidently.

All of a sudden...

A Sword Spirit seemed to appear behind his body, enormous and terrifying. The Sword Spirit slashed towards the Fire Peacock that was getting closer to him, as he instructed.

"Rest!" said Eadric Rong in a calm yet powerful voice. A boom like that of a dragon could be heard, as the Sword Spirit standing behind Eadric Rong with immense power split the Fire Peacock in two.

    While walking with slow steps, he approached Eadric Rong. Then, with his right hand raised upwards in a 45-degree angle, the Black Bat King said."The silence of all of you, I take as consent. Does anyone dare to challenge this young man? If not, then I will crown him as a black cult genius!" After speaking in a low voice but sounding in everyone's ears as if it was a loud whisper.The Black Bat King looked in all directions 360 degrees. His piercing gaze was like the eyes of a dragon, making everyone look down, unable to look into his eyes.There was still silence. No one among the black cult experts dared to speak.Now, let's explain a bit. Why did all the experts feel frightened and dare not challenge Eadric Rong, at the moment when he appeared to use a sword?In the martial world, there are two types of cultivators. The first is the martial cultivator. Martial cultivators can use any weapon, including swords, as a weapon in battle.The second figure is called a Sword Cultivator. A

    "Loud laughter resounded, the voices filled the entire domain, creating a chaotic and spine-tingling atmosphere.From afar, a low rumbling sound could be heard, accompanied by a crackling sound indicating that the domain formation wall that had been hiding the black stream cultivators seemed to have begun to crack and break.As a result, like the flow of a flood breaking a large embankment, the sound of clattering footsteps sounded like an overflowing flood, as no less than a thousand experts rushed toward the field where the arena stood.All were dressed in white, their faces covered by matching cloths."Wretched, they came in such great numbers, invaded, and have even managed to break the formation set up by the black stream," Eadric Rong thought, now filled with anxiety.He didn't think about running away, just stared in awe."The Black Bat King was suddenly already gliding into the sky, his robes spread out like wings making a soft, almost inaudible swishing sound.With eyes that

    At once, Eadric Rong flashed quickly. He jumped with his feet on the sandy ground and ran very fast towards the north.Once the array formation is broken, he can easily escape in any direction. Eadric Rong aimed to eliminate himself to the north, then he would go along the Moon Ring River to find a safe hiding place."Hopefully, I'll escape and be able to drive the ship to the DaQi Capital!" thought Eadric Rong anxiously.From the beginning, the destination was Daqi's capital. But tempted by the reward of the Opal Fire Gem, he decided to attend the grand meeting of the black cult experts. But regretting it was too late. He ran with his ability in the Flying Over Grass technique.WUSH!In the blink of an eye, the stage that had now become an arena for fighting as well as cruelty was already tens of spears behind. In his heart, Eadric Rong smiled. "I managed to escape. No one is paying attention to me. What's a little priest like me worth?" he thought happily.But about a cup of tea lat

    The two people wearing white veils were also not well. They were also in a pale state, trying not to spit out a mouthful of blood. But soon there was a sound... Hoek - Hoeks!"Damn nuns," Eadric Rong hissed through the blood flowing from his mouth, he guessed that they were nuns from the Gobi Desert Sect."Why does bad luck always happen to me? I always run into that bastard!" cursed Eadric Rong inwardly. He really hated the fear nun.At that moment, all the bones in Eadric Rong's body felt like they were going to fall out. The pain was so intense that his chest felt as if it was going to explode, and inside his body, it felt like there was a rush of blood and something thunderous, and boiling. He felt as if his body was going to break apart."I have to escape. I can't stay in this place and let myself die and let Mo Shilin Senior's umbrella artifact be taken by the people from the White Sect," Eadric Rong thought desperately.He tried to stand up but his head felt like it was going t

    "Come with me," the white-hooded woman's voice sounded hoarse, yet full of authority. She lowered her sword that glinted in the morning sun, making Eadric Rong's eyes widen in fear.With graceful and confident movements, she twisted her body, leaving Eadric Rong transfixed by the action."Y-you're not going to kill me?" asked Eadric Rong in a trembling voice.The figure paused for a moment, but did not turn around. Her cold, stern voice could be heard replying, "What should I kill you for? Do I seem like the executioner of death to you?"Although he couldn't see the hooded figure's face directly, Eadric Rong felt as if she was smiling.However, the woman's voice sounded hoarse, as if she had some sort of prop in her mouth, making her voice sound creepy.Not long after, she spoke again. This time, she didn't wait for Eadric Rong's reaction, directly slipping into the bushes that led into the depths of the Willow Forest."If you still want to see the sunset at dusk, you'd better listen

    However, all those words full of emotion and friendship seemed to be blocked by a stone wall. Coldly, Xiao Ning was unwilling to remove her head covering in the slightest. She said,"Eadric Rong... Go now! I hear the sound of a flute blowing, the secret sign of the Wudang sect.""Are you unwilling to appreciate this sacrifice, wanting to let yourself be caught? Leave now!" replied Xiao Ning, shooing Eadric Rong away for the umpteenth time.At that moment, faintly in the distance, a soft whistling sound could barely be heard, as if someone was playing a flute.Eadric Rong's face changed. He knew this was a special sign from the Wudang Sect."Alright, I'll be going! However, I hope you remember that the friendship between the two of us will never break, even if we are on opposite sides.""You are still Xiao Ning, the heart that has always been my helper!" said Eadric Rong.Then, without looking back, he strode towards the west, where the Moon Ring River was, as per the instructions Xiao

    For a moment, silence fell over the room. The moaning sounds that had been coming from the VIP cabin suddenly died down.However, not long after, around the time a hio was burning, the moaning sound came again. This time, it was very low, similar to the sound of someone moaning on the verge of death.Eadric Rong, feeling both curious and compassionate, decided to help the person behind the door. With a single wave of his hand, he managed to break down the door.WUUT! BRAK!The door to the luxurious room was wide open, and the stench of blood immediately wafted out, accompanied by the dim lighting of the oil lamp, making the supposedly luxurious room look creepy.In the center of the room, there was a man dressed in all black sitting limply on the floor. His black hair was down, and his eyes stared at Eadric Rong blankly, like a person who was about to die.Eadric Rong was silent for a moment, taking in the appearance of the figure sitting weakly in front of him.

    The tune added to the beauty of the twilight they were enjoying. However, the silence was suddenly broken by the loud voice of an Imperial protocol who came with a message."Dragon Priest—Master Tao Guo. Accept the Emperor's command!" the voice sounded stern, carrying an official aura that could not be ignored.Suddenly, the rhythmic beating of traditional music accompanied the footsteps of the Emperor's trusted eunuch who walked into the garden.The long golden scroll that the eunuch carried in his hand symbolized the supreme power of the Empire, as if the Emperor himself were present before them.As soon as the Emperor's command was heard, Eadric Rong and the Crown Prince immediately rose from their seats. Respectfully, they knelt down and bowed their heads deeply, as has been the tradition for centuries.The presence of an Imperial edict is a direct manifestation of the Emperor, and everyone who hears it is obliged to show deep respect, as if the emperor himself were standing befor

  • Tea and Tension in the Imperial Garden.

    Eadric Rong's departure with the Crown Prince left a tense atmosphere in the Golden Dragon Hall. From where he stood, the State Master's face looked grim, showing an expression filled with dissatisfaction.His forehead furrowed sharply, clearly displeased at how Eadric Rong had easily followed the Crown Prince's invitation without considering his presence."Master... what should we do? How could Brother Crown Prince manage to persuade someone from Jianghu to follow his orders?" asked Ninth Prince Su Weizhao in a worried tone.His face looked pale, and his eyes were glazed over, almost like a frightened child."If Priest Guo really is allied with Brother Crown Prince, our position could be further jeopardized! What will happen if he supports my brother in the struggle for the throne?"The anxiety was increasingly evident on Su Weizhao's face. He knew that the presence of a figure as great as Eadric Rong by the Crown Prince’s side could change the power map in the palace.The State Teac

    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

    “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

    "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
