The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Mission - Part II.
"With your courage and spirit, the martial world and the white school will show who must submit!"Seeing Leader Zhang praising the three young champions of the Wudang Sect, the face of Caleb Yan - the deputy sect leader - instantly lit up. Although he was looking down, a faint smile was clearly on his face.This caused jealousy in the hearts of the other sect leaders in the alliance. Displeasure with the Wudang Sect for wanting to dominate too much instantly filled the air.When Zhang Long Yin stood up from his chair and was ready to give his blessing to the three young Wudang heroes, there was a sudden commotion.Simultaneously, from all the tables and seats of the other seven white sects' entourages, young people, both male and female, walked hurriedly.They were the geniuses of the other sects.Their robes and hair fluttered as they walked quickly. Without hesitation, they immediately took their places in a row with the three young Wudang heroes and knelt down.In unison, all the g

Nun Zengxhin's tense face turned into a triumphant smile. One sect leader supported her opinion.However, in the corner where the Wudang Sect sat, the face of Caleb Yan, the Vice Leader of the Wudang Sect, instantly turned purple.Caleb Yan had already weighed in. If only three heroes from the Wudang Sect were sent on this mission, the resources and money that would be given would be completely controlled by the Wudang Sect. However, if eight sects sent their representatives on the hunt for the Lesser Heretic Priest, obviously the resources and traveling money would be divided equally, so the portion that the Wudang Sect received would be smaller.Please note, every month all sect members collect tribute - a certain amount of resources and money - which is deposited in the Silver Lotus Monastery's Treasure Storehouse.Not only that, the largest donations from the Imperial side are also stored in the Silver Lotus Warehouse.With this change in the situation, Caleb Yan realized that the
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Taiji Yin Yang Jian Fa (Taichi Sword Art - Ying Yang).
Martial Training Hall - Silver Lotus Monastery, Lianhua Yin Mountain.The atmosphere inside the training hall was filled with overwhelming happiness, a positive aura enveloping every corner of the room.The faces of the geniuses of the Eight White Stream Sects flashed with excitement as Wulin Mengzhu - Zhang Long Yin promised to teach them a sword technique that could be used in formation but was also extremely deadly in solo combat.Although the attack power of this sword move would be reduced if executed singly, its potential was still tremendous.Zhang Long Yin stood on a small stage, surrounded by many young people from the eight sects, all looking at him with admiration.The aura of an expert in the Golden Lotus Swordsman realm made him seem like a ray of light in the pitch-black night. He stood proudly with his back straight, exuding charisma and strength that were hard to ignore.The light of the oil lamp reflected Zhang Long Yin's shadow on the floor, emphasizing the impressio

"Ah, the sword is supposed to move slowly but powerfully. Why is my stab slow but not powerful? What a complicated Jian Fa!" Wang Yufeng of the Kunlun Sect was equally surprised. He was also a swordsman, given that the Kun Lun Sect was a sword sect.The chaos in the training room intensified as the geniuses - who were renowned as both sword and hand-to-hand geniuses - complained incessantly.The sound of stomping footsteps and sighs of frustration filled the air, creating an atmosphere of chaotic yet eager learning.This Taiji Yin Yang Jian Fa is truly a complicated and difficult swordsmanship to learn. Luckily, there were three genius disciples of the Wudang Sect present.Although reluctant and annoyed, Teng Yujin finally gave a little hint to another genius from the alliance side.His face was grim the whole time, as the spotlight and glory that should have been his were now shared with other geniuses."They've already taken my rightful share, so why waste too much energy helping th

Most of the disciples of these sects wear robes with the Yin & Yang logo, dressed like Taoists.As such, it was very difficult to recognize Eadric Rong in this appearance, except for those who knew him well and had seen his face in person during the Black Stream encounter near the Gobi Desert.While looking around the crowds on the streets in the evening, Eadric Rong sensed something was wrong."Why are there so many unfamiliar faces filling the streets of the city? Their appearance and way of speaking also sound different. They seem to have come from outside the city. What kind of phenomenon is going on?" he wondered.The habit of living on the run has made him always cautious. The presence of unfamiliar figures in the capital, most of whom have a fighter's aura, is a sign for him to be more careful.Suspicious of the unusual crowd, Eadric Rong decided to stop by the Koi Hall of Fortune. It just so happened that the building was located not far from where he was now.In an instant, t
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Genesis of the Lingguang Temple – Part I.
Inside the Night Shadow BuildingInside the Night Shadow Building—a separate structure from the Lucky Koi Hall—Eadric Rong sat before Lord Ma Hu and Du Shui.The opaque light from the lantern swaying in the corner of the room, combined with the lack of sunlight trying to break through the latticed windows, gave the room a sense of mystery. The scent of burning sandalwood incense wafted through the air, adding to the tense atmosphere.Eadric Rong's face looked serious, and in his hand was a piece of paper containing very shocking information about the martial world."How could I forget about the Sect meeting I promised Yan Huansheng—the Leader of the Five Colors Organization?Isn't the scheduled meeting on the night of the first Full Moon in early fall? That means two days from now?"Eadric Rong tapped his forehead, realizing his oversight. His face creased slightly as an epiphany struck him. The question that had been lingering in his mind answered itself."So... those strange figures
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Genesis of the Lingguang Temple – Part II.
The once majestic temple building now looks shabby with cracked walls and a leaking roof. The statues of the gods inside are dusty, and many are broken.The only large statue left undamaged is that of Chenghuang, or the City God.The night breeze blew softly, and the sound of dry leaves rustling on the temple floor could be heard.The smell of dampness and wet soil filled the air, adding to the sense of sadness as the rain fell heavily.In a corner of the Lingguang Temple, several black cultivators sat in groups, pressed close together under the dim light of a small bonfire.As the air grew colder and the light of the bonfire began to fade, a shadowy figure stood in front of the shrine. It stood with its back to the dim moonlight, and its shadow extended into the shrine, looking mysterious."Who's there? Is it a brother from the black sect who will attend our sect's grand meeting?" The voice of a cultivator rang out from the small group sitting under the statue of Chenghuang, who was

The cloth covering two of the ten bodies was suddenly revealed."Hiii!" cried a woman with a trembling voice."Horrible!" said a middle-aged man as he squinted his eyes."I want to vomit!" hissed another citizen, suddenly turning his face away and vomiting.The appearance of the two exposed bodies was creepy. Their bodies were split and swollen.But Eadric Rong stared seriously, his eyes narrowed."Wudang Sword Art!" he thought in disbelief.However, as if there were a cold wind nipping at his back, Eadric Rong began to consider another possibility: whether it had anything to do with the Black Stream Sect's big meeting at Lingyun Peak tomorrow night.Even so, he tried to maintain a positive mind, trying to imagine that these slain figures were just ordinary travelers."Isn't the Wudang Sect a white sect? They shouldn't have intervened so cruelly," he said in a tone of astonishment.Eadric Rong was about to continue his diatribe against the mercilessness of the killing when his keen ea

"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
The Emperor’s Edict and Imperial Rewards.
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
