The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Jin Hua Naynay's Noodle Shop - Part II.
"Deputy Leader Yuan, let’s take a short break at a roadside stall. Let’s drink a few cups of baijiu wine and eat hot noodle dumplings. I think it won’t hurt us, right?" Meng Jiang said while looking at Yuan Shuren.He didn’t know how long they had been traveling, but at this time of year, when the osmanthus leaves fell to the ground and the autumn breeze chilled their skin, every member of the expedition's stomach was rumbling.From a distance of ten meters, there was a hut made of bamboo with a thatched roof.The smell of garlic wafting from the meat broth made the twelve members of the expedition unable to hold back their drooling.The fragrance of the baijiu wine warming up in the fireplace, smelling up to ten meters away, made Meng Jiang unable to resist. With a nimble leap, he entered the simple food stall whose signboard read in large letters, "Jin Hua Nainai Tavern."(Jin Hua means Golden Flower, while Nainai means grandmother)"Jin Hua Nainai, please provide twelve large bowls

However, the old lady's answer was surprising."I'm crying because someone will be facing the King of Hell soon," her voice still sobbing, but there was a vicious glint in her eyes."Facing the King of Hell? What do you mean?""Because the hot chili powder you mixed in the noodles is actually a strong red chili that originated in the West. It is an unpardonable poison."You will die with your intestines crushed," Jin Hua Nainai replied, still shedding tears. But her voice had turned sinister."What do you mean, old granny? I'm going to kill you!" shouted Meng Jiang in panic. He quickly snatched the Ocean Troubling Fan from the table and stabbed toward Jin Hua Nainai.However, he immediately fell down and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood that came out was black."You two damned humans!" Yuan Shuren exclaimed. With a swift movement, he lashed out with his sword, attempting to activate the Thousand Flower Sword attack."Ouch!" yelled Yuan Shuren. He immediately collapsed to the gr

The autumn wind blew sharply, piercing bones to the marrow. The wilting peach blossoms fell to the ground, spreading a sweet and delicate fragrance.The yellowing leaves of the maple trees scattered along the road created a beautiful scene, like a natural tapestry covering the streets of Daqi City.That morning, the incident involving a horse-drawn carriage belonging to the Silver Horse Expedition at Jin Hua Naynay's stall ended up being a huge scandal that shook Daqi Capital.In the morning, a young servant opened the gate of the luxurious manor, inscribed with the words 'Tang Family Manor.'Carrying a broom in his hand, he grumbled endlessly. "These maple leaves seem endless. Just yesterday I swept them away, and now they're piling up again, making for an unsightly sight!" he complained in an annoyed tone.A'hao, the servant's name, had just cleaned up the maple leaves and magnolia flowers in the manor's inner courtyard.His heart immediately fell into despair at the sight of the pi
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Manyue Zhulin Restaurant – Part II.
The breeze carrying the aroma of grilled meat mixed with the scent of wine filled the room, adding a sense of warmth to the tense atmosphere.Every word that came out of Mr. Bao's and the other guests' mouths made the atmosphere more lively, full of hooks, and added to the suspense."So, who do you think is behind all this? How can you speculate on this? You didn't see the events yourself!" someone asked in a curious tone.Putting on an offended face, Mr. Bao replied with a tense expression, his face flushed slightly with emotion. "I know. The answer is, of course, the Sects of the Black Sect!""Why, hasn't there been peace in the Yue Chuen Empire for centuries? How could a black sect want to ruin the peace in the martial world?"Isn't that breaking a treaty hundreds of years ago?" asked another person in a tone full of confusion, his eyes showing deep concern.Everyone had tense faces. The atmosphere in the room was suddenly quiet, only the sound of slightly held breath could be hear
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Three Geniuses and the Osmanthus Forest.
They appeared with clean faces and full of confidence; it was obvious that they were the genius disciples of the White Sect. Each of them held a sword that shone sharply in the morning sun.Eadric Rong smiled slightly..."Hm... Ferrin Teng, Torek Da, and Faelin Fen... the three main geniuses of the Wudang Sect's most genius disciples. What are you guys stalking me for?""Or... maybe you guys are short of work, stalking an insignificant figure like me!" Eadric Rong's tone sounded sneering, responding to the appearance of the three Wudang Sect geniuses in the middle of the Osmanthus Forest.Although angry at the jibe, the three young men looked confused.They looked at each other, their faces showing strange expressions, as it was obvious that they did not recognize Eadric Rong. However, why did the little priest they were following know them?The fall wind blew, making the osmanthus leaves accumulate more and more on the ground."Who are you? How do you know the names of the three of u
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Taiji Yinyang and the Two Geniuses – Part I.
Ferrin Teng and Torek Da's faces turned ugly when they saw that the young priest they looked down upon possessed unexpected intelligence.In fact, the priest was able to execute a rare swordsmanship—Chun Yang Jian Fa (Pure Sun Swordsmanship)—that was only taught directly by the Sect Leader to selected disciples."Where did that ugly priest learn the Chun Yang Jian Fa?" This question swam in Ferrin Teng's mind, instantly igniting a deep sense of jealousy within him.Having long been appointed and handpicked to be the Wudang Sect Leader's direct disciple, he had never been taught this Chun Yang Jian Fa.When he saw the young priest mastering the knowledge he so coveted, his heart was wrung with jealousy and distrust.However, Torek Da broke his reverie and reacted quickly, causing Ferrin Teng to realize who the little priest was."You... you..." Torek Da stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief. "I know who you are! Aren't you the traitor Eadric Rong, who fled with Priest Zhang Qing Nian
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Taiji Yinyang and the Two Geniuses – Part II.
With a quick movement, Eadric Rong made a defensive move using the osmanthus tree branch that happened to be in his hand.He thought he would surprise the two genius disciples of the Wudang Sect. Unfortunately, Eadric Rong didn't know that Taiji Yinyang Jian Fa was the latest sword style created by the Wudang Sect Leader.In this Taiji Yinyang Jian Fa, there are many unexpected moves that are a combination of many dangerous sword techniques.In addition, this sword art is gentle yet deadly when used in formation by at least two experts.The result was fatal.KRAK! KRAK!The sound of dry twigs breaking was heard, followed by Eadric Rong's sleeve being torn off from the successive stabs executed by Ferrin Teng and Torek Da. A shocked expression immediately appeared on his face."Doggone it!" hissed Eadric Rong. He really didn't expect two Wudang Sect disciples with cultivation realms below his to be able to make such a surprise attack.Eadric Rong's body instantly jumped in a somersault

"A Fengren rank sword?" Ferrin Teng asked, narrowing his eyes.He knew that it was a very good sword. However, to use it against the Jian Fa's Taiji Yinyang Formation? "Just a little lucky runaway disciple, and he thinks he can win this fight? He's dreaming too high!"In Ferrin Teng's mind, although he thought it was impossible for Eadric Rong to win the battle against their sword formation, his jealousy deepened. His eyes were locked on the Dragon & Phoenix Sword in Eadric Rong's hand."If I manage to eliminate this poor Eadric Rong, won't that Fengren sword be mine? This is just what the ancients said... 'Once rowed, two or three islands are crossed!'"Unconsciously, Ferrin Teng's face revealed a vicious smile."How lucky! I'm going to get a copy of Yang Jian Fa's Chun Style from that rotten kid, as well as possess a sword at the Fengren level!"At that moment, Ferrin Teng's eyes shone even more greedily. The thought of learning the Chun Yang Jian Fa Style, along with possessing a F

"Forgive me, Crown Prince," Eadric Rong said in a low tone, yet full of confidence. "If you trust this simple Taoist priest, please allow me to board a commercial ship. I don't want to attract attention, let alone make it obvious that I'm on a mission from you."The Crown Prince, who understood the intelligence behind Eadric Rong's decision, nodded understandingly.His thoughtful face showed respect for the Taoist master's decision."I understand, Teacher Tao Guo. Forgive me for being too full of worries. Carry out this mission as you see fit, for it is for the best," replied the Crown Prince in a gentle yet firm tone.However, the Crown Prince's worries did not completely disappear. Before Eadric Rong's departure, he sincerely gave a large bag of silver and gold that weighed hundreds of liang."May this fee be sufficient for your journey, Master Tao Guo," he said sincerely, ensuring that Eadric Rong did not lack anything during his trip.Eadric Rong only smiled faintly, realizing the

"Hahaha!" One of them, apparently the leader of the group, took a few steps forward. His voice was cold and full of arrogance."It is precisely because you are from the Crown Prince's side that you have to deal with us. Tell the guest in the carriage to come out and kneel before me, asking for forgiveness. Perhaps, if I am in a generous mood, I will have mercy on him."The interloper leader's words were spoken with confidence, as if he was definitely in control of the situation.His eyes were sharp even though they were covered by the black cloth, but his evil intentions were clear. He had no intention of giving any chance to negotiate. His goal was only one: humiliation.Just as the loud laughter of the interlopers faded away, the sky was suddenly split open by the sound of thunder. Lightning struck, giving off a dazzling white light, making the dark night instantly bright.Under the lightning, the faces of the interlopers who had been full of confidence turned pale. The air around t

At first, the rain came down slowly, just a trickle that soaked the road. But as time went on, the rain turned into a downpour, spilling beads of water that hit the ground with a boisterous sound.Lightning occasionally flashed across the sky, accompanied by the deafening rumble of thunder. Visibility was increasingly limited, forcing the coachman to squint his eyes, trying to see ahead in the thick darkness and pouring rain."Master Tao, should we continue our journey?" the coachman called out from behind the curtain dividing the coachman's seat from the train car. His voice was slightly shaken by the bad weather."The weather is very bad. Besides, the train can't go fast. The roads are now muddy and full of puddles. I'm afraid there's something ahead that could cause the train to derail or even crash."Although his voice was loud, there was clear concern behind every word. However, despite speaking so, the coachman did not stop the horses.The train continued to move slowly, though
The Jade Tears Hunt.
Silence fell over the pavilion. The Crown Prince's face looked more and more grim, as if it was covered by an increasingly thick fog of darkness.The news he had just received from the palace completely shook his heart. The State Master had gone to the Emperor and requested that the mission to find Fenghuang's Jade Tears also be assigned to Ninth Prince.The request, of course, had an ulterior motive.Behind his calm demeanor, the State Master clearly wanted to make a point—that if the Crown Prince failed to obtain the Jade Tears, and the Ninth Prince's hunting team succeeded instead, who else would be more worthy to inherit the Imperial throne? Who would be more sincerely concerned about the Emperor's health by finding that heirloom potion that was said to cure all diseases?The Crown Prince looked uneasy, his eyes staring blankly at the tea in front of him. In his heart, a big question raged: would Eadric Rong be willing to help him in this mission? Time was ticking away, and the pr
Whispers of Jade Tears.
His face looked rumpled, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and tense lines around his eyes. Whenever he passed the large window overlooking the garden, he paused and gazed out, as if hoping the view would calm his mind.His breathing was heavy and irregular, showing how deeply anxious he felt.Gao Xiulan, the Crown Prince's 28-year-old wife, watched intently from the side of the room.She stepped slowly up to her husband, carrying a tea cup in a steady but caring hand. Her face was gentle and caring as she offered the cup to the prince."Sir looks agitated. Is there something bothering you?" asked Gao Xiulan in a gentle tone, her voice full of empathy and concern. She looked at the Crown Prince with eyes full of curiosity and worry.The Crown Prince paused for a moment, accepted the cup of tea, and took a sip. His face looked a little better, but he still did not reveal what was bothering him to his wife.Gao Xiulan was used to the news and gossip circulating fast in the palace. She
The Crown Prince’s Burden.
That morning, at a small eatery located on the outskirts of Xuefeng Du City Market, the atmosphere was lively.Thin smoke from the food roasting on the coals danced in the air, mingling with the aroma of spices emanating from the large pot at the back of the kitchen.The customers coming and going seemed busy enjoying their breakfast, but one topic dominated the conversation at every corner of every table: the death of merchant Bai Mingyun and his two bodyguards."So... Fenghuang's Jade Tears really exist? It's not just a made-up legend? But what does it have to do with merchant Bai Mingyun's death?" asked a guest in a half-believing tone, his face slightly pale as he discussed the terrifying topic.An old man in the corner of the room turned his head, his face full of secrets, and replied,"There is definitely a connection. It is said that the merchant came to the north not to trade, but to sell information—about the existence of an ancient herb that has only been considered a fairy
Fenghuang's Jade Tears.
"Don't rush, Guardsman Mo Jiang. We'll wait a little longer. My guest has promised, and I'm sure he can't be lying. The news I bring is very important, too big to just ignore."Mo Jiang and Mo Feng exchanged glances, then nodded obediently. Although their patience was starting to erode, the orders from their master had to be followed without question.They remained standing at attention, guarding the door attentively, while Bai Mingyuan sipped his hot tea slowly, waiting with confidence that this meeting would happen soon.Not long after, the calm atmosphere of the room suddenly changed. As if sensing a change in the surrounding energy, Mo Jiang and Mo Feng simultaneously raised their faces, watching the surroundings carefully.A strong and unusual aura began to approach, feeling like a wave of pressure enveloping the second floor."Who is it?" whispered Mo Jiang in a low yet tense voice, his eyes narrowed to stare at the stairs.Mo Feng, who was beside him, reflexively gripped the hi
Agreed – Part II.
However, before he could bow further, Eadric Rong raised his hand, putting a stop to the humble gesture."Crown Prince," Eadric Rong said in a stern tone, "there is no need for you to grovel like this. I am not from this empire and am not attached to any sect here. The State Master's standing in the martial world will not affect my decision."Eadric Rong looked at the Crown Prince with a look full of confidence, then continued,"Retract your respect. This is an equal cooperation between us. You ask for my support, and in return, I benefit from the various resources you promised."Hearing those words, the Crown Prince's smile grew wider, his face full of gratitude."Thank you, Master Tao. Later today, I will send an alchemist to meet you. Whatever you need, please tell him, and he will concoct medicines according to your wishes."The conversation, which was expected to be brief, lasted longer than expected.Time flew by, and by the time they parted, the sky had turned a reddish-orange,
Agreed.
Finally, after pondering for a long time, Eadric Rong took a deep breath and solidified his decision."Very well, Crown Prince," Eadric Rong said as he stared straight ahead, exuding the calmness of an expert."I will stay in your residence, but on one condition: I want no disturbances while I shut myself up in the pavilion you provide. Just send two servants to clean the pavilion and cook for me, nothing more."Hearing this decision, the Crown Prince's face instantly brightened, almost like the moon appearing behind the night clouds.He did not expect that the new number one genius known to the entire empire would so readily agree to stay in his residence. Excitement welled up in his heart, but he tried to refrain from showing too much enthusiasm.Back in the day, the residence of the nobles—more so the royal family—was a sprawling complex that was more like a manor, with many pavilions.Each pavilion has its own function: for guests, main wives, concubines, and even some for the eld
