"Hey Zhaoyun!" someone shouted from the crowd."Who is that Hei Zhaoyun?" someone else whispered. "Why is his appearance so hideous?"The sound of the crowd watching was noisy. In the tense atmosphere, they wondered who the figure was who was now sitting on the coffin, staring coldly at the surroundings. A mysterious and sinister aura emanated from him, making the surrounding air colder.A moment later, the strange and eccentric-looking figure called Hei Zhaoyun suddenly stood up, as if the earth's gravity had no effect on him. In a stiff movement, he took a glance as if floating, and in an instant was standing in front of the receptionists."Y-your invitation, please show... M-Mr. Which Sect do you represent?" asked the greeter at the hall door in a trembling voice. The young man and young woman were already breaking out in cold sweat. Both wanted to stare at the strange man's figure, but they were terrified."Hei Zhaoyun of the Hell's Tomb Sect. Can I come in already?" asked Hei Zha

Luckily, Eadric Rong had a special token given directly by Miss Murong Lin. He got a VIP seat located on the balcony, separated from the crowd.Meanwhile, the activities on stage began. A shadowy figure of a young girl appeared to move, dressed in a dazzlingly tight outfit."The Lucky Koi Hall Grand Auction is about to begin. We're going straight into the first auction!" A twenty-year-old girl stood on the stage. Special spotlights of special gemstones and gems were beamed at her, making her stand out, with a slender waist... seemingly swaying like the Yang Liu Tree in the spring breeze.The girl was named Liu Ningxi, a subordinate of Miss Murong the manager of the Lucky Koi.With her melodious voice, Liu Ningxi began to open the price... "Sky Palm Style Martial Arts Manual - Tiān Gāng Quán Pǔ Huobo Rating. It is an ancient manual containing high-level Palm Art martial techniques. The price starts at five hundred gold coins!"An uproar suddenly broke out. The sound of bargaining fille

For example, Wuji Sword - Huobo Rank, Sky Rank Recovery Pill, Weapon Repelling Armor, Chi Concentration Bracelet, Rú Yì Shàn Wind Blowing Fan, Immortal Spirit Grail, Dragon Binding Rope, Sealing Stone Necklace, to Obsidian Stone Necklace.All of these items were sold at high bid prices, up to five times the actual auction price.However, among all the valuables and artifacts, there was not a single one that interested Eadric Rong.Eadric Rong was only amused as he watched the tension build as the auction progressed. The quality of the items Liu Ningxi announced on stage was increasing, giving rise to a hostile atmosphere. The problem was, none of the bidders were willing to budge."Let me not stand out too much, because what I need is the main auction, not all these things," Eadric Rong thought to himself as he tried to calm down. In his heart, he actually trembled at the sight of the rare items at the grand auction.Eadric Rong realized that the number of treasures left behind by the

"Fifteen thousand gold coins for a Huobo-class manual?" exclaimed a man in a tone of disbelief."Has that youngster lost his mind? That's a very high price, even for the standards of Huobo's most expensive manuals!"Meanwhile, the other people in the room were busy discussing the figure of the young master who dared to purchase the Talisman manual at such a high price. The atmosphere became boisterous, and rumors began to circulate."Who is that young master?" a woman asked with deep curiosity. "Is he from the Four Seasons Noble Family? Or perhaps from the Zhao Family? Or, perhaps, he's from the Xiao Family?"At that time, out of all the Four Seasons noble families, only the Zhao Family and Xiao Family had yet to act on the bargain. They seemed to be hiding in the crowd, seemingly waiting and watching, like hawks ready to pounce on prey."The Tang family just bought a manual represented by Tang Wei," said an old man with a hoarse voice. "As for the Murong Family? That is an impossible

The voices of people shouting encouraged Tang Wei to bid for the manual at a higher price. However, Tang Wei's face turned pale. He felt cornered, trapped in a difficult decision."My means are limited to fifteen thousand gold coins," he muttered to himself. "I must set aside funds and give priority to bidding on the Main Auction.”“Instead of squandering money on a Huobo-class manual. Let me just give in this time, I don't want to be scolded by the Patriarch if I run out of money and can't participate in the main auction."With gritted teeth and restrained embarrassment, Tang Wei raised a hand, signaling that he wouldn't bid any higher. "Let the manual belong to the young master," he said in an almost inaudible voice.Tang Wei's face turned red as the entire auction room sneered at him. Tang Wei could only stare intently at the hick-looking rich young man with an angry expression. "You'll see. I'll take the manual away, if I get the chance!" thought Tang Wei with a face that now look

Eadric Rong gave the congee vendor a quick glance.The vendor carried his wares, then put down his basket and sat at the corner of the narrow street. He hoped that Eadric Rong would have had a hard time getting through the narrow passage, if the congee vendor hadn't moved his wares to make room for others to pass through.In addition, there was a beggar sitting not far from him. The beggar had been mumbling in an indistinct voice, the words roughly reading "I'm hungry...""A beggar with clean clothes, and four sacks on his back?" thought Eadric Rong. What an irony. A beggar in clean clothes complaining of hunger, while there's a chicken porridge vendor with the tantalizing aroma of broth and stir-fried garlic next to him? Eadric Rong's vigilance instantly increased."Uncle... can't you lift your tools, so that young me can pass?" said Eadric Rong in a friendly tone full of anticipation. However, those two were behaving strangely. "Why trade in a lonely, narrow alley? Besides... beggin

With incredible speed, the An Qi thrown by the four-sack beggar rushed over.Meanwhile, the chicken porridge vendor's cleaver was also moving at the same speed. The speed of these two attacks made it difficult for even a high-level martial arts expert to avoid them.However, there was a sudden crackling sound from the young man's hand, similar to the sound of wood breaking.KRAK - KRAK!Following the deafening sound, the young man they considered weak shouted in a high-pitched voice."DRAGON'S CRYING CLAW!"Something the two mysterious attackers never expected happened.The young man's hand suddenly formed a deadly grip similar to a dragon's claw. White smoke billowed out and formed the shadow and silhouette of a dragon.Fearlessly, the young man slammed his right hand into the gleaming machete, as if he had no fear of having his hand cut in half.PRANG!After the clash between the youth's dragon claw and the cleaver, a clattering sound filled the quiet night, making the two attackers
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Five-Color Organization – Part II.
The chicken porridge seller who cooperated with the Four Sacks Beggar, in his opinion, had gone too far, wanting to take his life just for the sake of a manual.Holding some evidence in hand, "We'll see what I do with that organization," Eadric Rong muttered.Now, he had confirmed that the porridge man was indeed a hitman from the Five Colors Organization. He stepped up and left the deserted alley.Right now, the deserted hallway was silent again after Eadric Rong's departure.When the night watchman and the opas - a time-keeper with a bell - walked through the alleyway, they found only the traces of the battle: a wall in ruins. They found only the traces of the battle in the form of a crumbling wall."Murder!"The opas officer tapped the drum loudly. His voice broke the silence of the night as the first drum was about to be sounded. And Daqi Capital was shocked that very night."A chicken porridge vendor was found dead on a deserted road. Surprisingly, there are traces of the attack

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 Magic Show.
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
