Eadric Rong was forced to spend the night on the small, remote island, taking refuge inside an old building that still exuded remnants of past splendor. Strangely, the boat that Fisherman Yang had used some time ago to transport him had now vanished without a trace, as if swallowed up by the mysterious fog enveloping the lake.

"Did the Fisherman deliberately lose the boat, so that I would be trapped on this deserted island?" he murmured in a worried tone, while gazing around with increased vigilance.

Instantly, Eadric Rong's face turned pale, fear creeping into his mind.

Previously, he thought he could at least use Fisherman Yang's boat to leave the island, but that hope was now dashed.

As he stood pensively by the lake whose waves were relentlessly pounding the shore, his stomach suddenly rumbled, reminding him of an unavoidable reality—the hunger that was beginning to assail him.

"I'm hungry. Haven't eaten since morning. Might as well go to the kitchen and check if there are any lef

    "Who's there?" shouted Eadric Rong in a powerful tone. The silence that had surrounded the lake was suddenly broken by his voice, bringing an eerie aura that enveloped the surroundings.Without wasting any time, Eadric Rong immediately ran towards the source of the voice that sounded faint among the swish of the night wind.Within about ten meters, his eyes caught the figure of Fisherman Yang, a half-immortal wearing a simple robe, seemingly floating above the surface of the lake water. The rushing current of the Han Fenghe River seemed ready to drag his frail body into the depths."Hold this!" shouted Eadric Rong, quickly throwing out a bundle of old roots that he had wrapped into a makeshift rope. The roots floated through the air, before landing right within Fisherman Yang's reach.With what strength he had left, Fisherman Yang managed to grab the root, even though his body was beginning to weaken.Eadric Rong immediately pulled with all his might, feeling the heavy weight as Fishe

    With quick but careful movements, Eadric Rong stirred the water in a makeshift pot he found in the modest kitchen. He stirred in the ginseng and strong medicine he had, while muttering quietly to himself."I know it's not suitable for treating internal injuries. But this is all I have. I hope it can help you two get through this critical night," Eadric Rong whispered hopefully.After the water that was fanned over the coals changed color, Eadric Rong let it get warm before spooning the potion one by one into the mouths of the two half-immortals."Thank goodness... there's an effect," Eadric Rong thought with some relief when he saw the changes on their faces.Their faces that had been as pale and cold as the moon on a frozen night now began to reveal a rosy hue, a sign that life was slowly infiltrating their bodies again.Eadric Rong couldn't close his eyes all night. He diligently guarded the two half-immortals from the dangerous fever. He gently placed a cloth soaked in cold water o

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   Last Night.

    Eadric Rong simply nodded, and gently asked the fisherman not to move too much, fearing that he would spit out blood again like before.Before long, Priest Qiu also woke up. However, unlike Fisherman Yang, he remained silent, only looking at Eadric Rong who faithfully kept the fire burning, providing the warmth they needed.Secretly, Priest Qiu's eyes softened, realizing the kindness of this young man who had helped them despite not knowing each other.This tense silence lasted for three days and nights.During that time, Eadric Rong couldn't do much other than give them a drink when they felt thirsty and keep the campfire burning, so that their bodies wouldn't freeze in the cold, damp night.On the third night, when Fisherman Yang and Priest Qiu were finally able to sit in the lotus position, Eadric Rong's heart was filled with deep joy. He couldn't help but smile when he saw them showing signs of recovery."Seniors, thank goodness you can sit down," Eadric Rong said in a relieved to

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   Dawn Duel by Lake.

    There, by the lake, Eadric Rong watched the two half-immortals—Fisherman Yang and Priest Qiu—fighting. Their movements were extremely fast. The scattered energy made the lake water turbulent; even some of the water seemed to be splashed into the air.However, this time around, there was something different.The two fought with a look of excitement on their faces, almost like a pair of old friends reveling in a battle of skill.Occasionally, they could be heard correcting each other when one of them was crushed by a sword strike or a palm strike full of internal force."Poor fisherman! Your palm art still has many flaws! I wouldn't be surprised if you ran away like a jungle cat, chased by the novice practitioners of the Blue Sky," taunted Priest Qiu in a mocking tone.While his sword flashed in the air, forming a wall of luminous swords, its speed flowed like lightning that suddenly struck Fisherman Yang.Instead, with a seemingly casual gesture, Fisherman Yang deployed his palm.A pow

    "Poor fisherman! In all my life, this is the first time I've been so happy to get a match like you!" one of them said with excitement."Hahaha, smelly Priest... I'm glad I knew you too. It was worth dying for!" replied the other, with equally happy laughter."Seniors!" shouted Eadric Rong in panic, running towards them. However, the seconds seemed to slow down, fear enveloping him.Unfortunately, when Eadric Rong checked their veins, he only sensed emptiness.The two half-Immortals were gone, their bodies cold and stiff from severe injuries and depleted of energy.Eadric Rong stood still, his heart heavy. His lips were paralyzed, unable to utter words. Two very rare experts he admired had now died in a strangely comforting state of happiness.Their faces showed a peaceful expression, as if celebrating the end of their lives with meaning.With a sense of sorrow, Eadric Rong dug two large holes near them. Each shovelful of earth felt like a weight on his heart. Once finished, he careful

    After reading the last words, Eadric Rong folded the tattered letter carefully. His eyes swept over the rough yet firm handwriting, as if he could feel the hard life Fisherman Yang had lived.He muttered under his breath, his voice whispering to himself, "He's a monk? I'm not surprised. He's from the Blue Sky Sect that promotes Buddhism. However, why does he grow his hair long? Does this have something to do with his status as an outcast?"His mind raced, searching for possible answers. Meanwhile, his hands moved automatically, dumping soil into the two holes where the two Kaishi now slept in eternal silence.The sound of shovels clashing with the ground seemed to accompany their departure, adding to the quiet atmosphere that was only broken by the cold wind.Eventually, Eadric Rong decided to stay on the small island for a whole month. The gentle breeze blowing from the direction of the lake seemed to welcome his decision quietly, while the leaves swayed gently to the peaceful rhythm

    At first only a few people stood on the bridge and deck of the ship, watching intently."Look! There's a man sailing with just a piece of wood. He looks like he's flying on water!" exclaimed one of the passengers in amazement, his eyes wide at the miracle before him."Which one? Didn't you see it wrong? I thought it was just a big seagull, or maybe a spiritual being!" replied the others, trying to guess what they had actually witnessed."No! He's human. Look, his robe has the symbol of Yin and Yang. His hair is tied up high like a Taoist," said another passenger in an increasingly impressed tone."He looks like a god, floating gracefully above the water!" he added, his voice full of admiration at the sight of Eadric Rong's figure who remained calm despite being in the midst of the chaos of the rushing water.As the scene on the ship grew more and more crowded, the passengers became more and more enthusiastic about watching Eadric Rong's heroic deeds. The crowd gathered on deck began t

    "Who's there?" asked Eadric Rong, his voice calm but alert as he looked at the figure of an old man huddled in the corner of the ship's stern.Only coughing sounds were heard in response."Uhuk - uhuk!"Eadric Rong immediately stepped over to the old man, who was lying on the floor of the ship, covered only by a thin blanket that had been worn down and almost weathered by time."Old man... You're sick. Why just sleep here? The night wind is very strong, the cold air is not good for health. Don't you have a room on this ship?" asked Eadric Rong in a concerned tone.He immediately squatted down next to the old man, checking on his health.The old man still didn't answer, his coughing continued, sounding increasingly weak and pitiful.Eadric Rong, carefully, palpated the old man's forehead to feel his body temperature. The cool touch of his skin contrasted with the inflamed heat of the man's forehead."So hot!" he muttered, his face turning serious. He then grabbed the old man's wrist, f

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

  • 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

    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
