Chapter 232, Ghost Market.
One hio stick had burned out, the smoke billowing out slowly, forming a thin curtain that floated in the night air.The dim light from the oil lamps installed along the lake highlights the stunning scenery.The Ghost Market is now in plain sight, a separate world hidden in the bowels of the earth. In the enveloping darkness, the market sparkles with the soft light bouncing off the oil lamps, revealing a bustling and mysterious life in the shadows.In the distance, the market is filled with crowds of visitors with strange and eccentric appearances. Shoppers and vendors are dressed in black robes, fur coats, and strange hats that cover most of their faces.Some wore masks adorned with bizarre ornaments, while others showed off jewel-encrusted outfits that sparkled under the lights.Amongst the hustle and bustle, the sounds of clattering feet, haggling and the hissing of hio smoke add a magical and slightly eerie feel to the atmosphere of this market."There's no need to dock. I'll go by
Unexpected Encounters.
His steps halted when his ears caught a very familiar voice, a voice he had been trying to forget. "Millie Xiao..." The voice was so clear."Millie Xiao, we'll stay at the goods inn overnight. After that, we'll continue our journey to the Hadarac Desert. Go find a decent inn for the five of us." The voice of an authoritative man sounded commanding.Eadric Rong couldn't mistake the gentle tone, yet it sounded firm, full of authority."Zhang Long Ying..." The name instantly came to mind.As if hearing a curse, Eadric Rong turned his face away quickly, hoping that the person would not see him.However, Eadric Rong's body felt frozen, his steps seemed to stop in place. Slowly, he glanced out of the corner of his eye.Amidst the bustling market, two very familiar figures caught his attention. Zhang Long Ying, the Leader of the Martial World in the Yue Chuan Empire, stood tall with a powerful aura.As the Leader of the Wudang Sect, Zhang Long Ying was a great figure respected by many in the
Biratama City.
Eadric Rong felt a little cornered. His face was flushed, but he restrained himself and returned the greeting politely, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and bowed respectfully."Ah... Reverend Yunho." His voice was low, full of politeness. "This simple Taoist faith does not deserve to be called such a great practitioner. Pindao's martial arts are only Taiji movements, just to relax muscles and bones, nothing more."The cold sea breeze blew strongly, hitting both of their faces, bringing with it the sharp scent of salt. The morning sky was still shrouded in darkness, with only a streak of light on the eastern horizon.The piercing temperature made anyone think twice about lingering outside. However, both Eadric Rong and Reverend Yunho remained standing tall on the deck, bowing to each other with an elegance full of formality.Ten breaths passed in heavy silence. Neither moved, as if trapped in an endless politeness contest, each waiting for the other to end the salute

In one lightning move, Eadric Rong leapt backward, as if his body was lifted by an invisible force. While moving, he drew the Dragon and Phoenix Sword with astonishing speed.TRANG-TRANG-TRANG!A metallic clang sounded loudly as his sword swept through the air, cleaving apart dozens of An Qi that were rushing towards him. In one incredibly precise slashing strike, all of the shurikens crumbled to the floor, unable to penetrate his defenses.A mesmerizing sight, a display of swordsmanship that could only be performed by a high-level expert.The move Eadric Rong used was not random; it was part of the Ferris Wheel Sword Style, a technique he invented himself, where each swing of the sword was able to sweep attacks from multiple directions.Eadric Rong stared coldly at the female ninja. Ever since she escaped and hid in the Jin Shuang Empire, she was determined not to use the knowledge she learned from the Yue Chuan Empire.It was too dangerous to have his identity revealed through the t
Secret Weapons Expert.
Although the black shadowy figure was wearing a face cloth, Eadric Rong could feel a powerful aura rippling from behind the illusion he created.The atmosphere inside the deserted cabin became even more eerie, the sea breeze blowing through the window slits reinforcing the sense of mystery. Cold sweat began to break out on his back, but he remained calm."A Practitioner at the Golden Lotus Swordsman level?" thought Eadric Rong to himself, his eyes narrowing behind the magic illusion he had created. His heart rumbled, but his expression remained calm, as his figure merged with the shadow of the silent room."Wait a minute... But this isn't Reverend Yunho's aura!" Eadric Rong hesitated. He suspected that this ninja figure was Reverend Yunho, judging from his motive—a grudge because he refused to ally with Prince Han Seolmin.Now that he had gotten a closer look at the ninja, his assumptions were shattered.The figure in black, though faintly illuminated by the gently swaying oil lamp, a
The Failed Alliance.
"Your Majesty Daozhan..." Han Seolmin said with a smile that seemed friendly but veiled. His voice was soft, yet a guileful tone was implied behind his words."I see you seem to be heading West. Is your goal to find Fenghuang's Jade Tears?"There was a brief sly glint in Han Seolmin's eyes, as if assessing Eadric Rong's every move and expression.Even so, Eadric Rong maintained a calm and benevolent face, like a pious and holy man in the martial world. He was well aware that behind the prince's smile, there was a deeper meaning."As I see it, Daozhan is traveling alone for this trip. We should arrive in Biratama Port City tomorrow. However, since the beginning of this journey, there have been so many competitors eyeing Fenghuang's Jade Tears," Han Seolmin continued, deliberately dangling his words to create a deeper impression.The smile on his face widened even more, adding to his striking sense of confidence.Beside him, Reverend Yunho remained calm, but his eyes narrowed slightly,
Amidst the Sea of Donghai.
After the unexpected encounter with the Thunder God Warship from Taiyang, Eadric Rong's journey aboard the Blue Dragon Ship towards the nearest port in the Western region had not yet reached its end. However, that encounter was just the beginning of another series of events.After the unexpected encounter with the Thunder God Warship from Taiyang, Eadric Rong's journey aboard the Blue Dragon Ship towards the nearest port in the Western region had not yet reached its end. However, that encounter was just the beginning of another series of events.With each passing day, more and more large ships appeared on the horizon, like a shoal of giant whales migrating on the surface of the sea. Their sturdy bodies waded through the waves, moving slowly but surely, all heading in the same direction—the port in the West. The ships, about ten in number, were of various types. There were commercial vessels sailing slowly, carrying full loads of merchandise, while warships could be seen roaring by, h
The Thunder God Warship – Part II.
On the deck of the Thunder God Warship, Arata Mingzhu slowly turned his body, his face remaining calm but with eyes as sharp as a hawk.He stared intently at the Blue Dragon Ship, then strode gracefully and confidently toward the edge of his ship. In his elegant movements, the nobility and authority he radiated were unmistakable.With a cold, unblinking gaze, he met Prince Han Seolmin’s eyes from afar, then offered a thin smile—a smile filled with veiled mockery.“Ah, so it’s the esteemed Prince Han Seolmin from the Land of Morning Dew. I was wondering who dared to greet me in this foreign land,” he replied in the same cold tone. “Is Prince Han Seolmin also interested in the hunt for the sacred relic in the West?”His voice, tinged with mockery, struck directly at Prince Han Seolmin’s pride. The prince’s face immediately darkened. His lips tightened, as if ready to retort with sharper words, but Prince Arata Mingzhu continued before he could respond.“However,” Arata Mingzhu continued
The Thunder God Warship.
Upon hearing the young foreign man’s words, the once-calm crowd, who had been leisurely enjoying their tea and conversation, instantly reacted. Everyone rose from their seats and hurried toward the northern edge of the ship.There, they witnessed a breathtaking sight—a ship from the Land of Taiyang, which had previously appeared as nothing more than a speck on the horizon, was now moving at an extraordinary speed.Taiyang, an island nation not part of the Longhai Continent, had long held a reputation as a master of seafaring. Their shipbuilding technology had long been recognized as the finest.“The speed of that ship is incredible! Just a moment ago, it was still a tiny dot, and now it’s as big as a watermelon seed!” one passenger exclaimed in awe.“Yes, it’s said that because their country is surrounded by the sea, they have developed highly advanced maritime technology, especially in shipbuilding,” another passenger added, nodding in agreement.Rong Guo, who was among the crowd alo
