The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Beggar Clean Clothes, Two Sacks.
"Are they planning new attacks on black sects, like the recent one in the Gobi Desert?"With renewed determination, Eadric Rong chased after the two beggars. In an instant, she was already right behind them, only ten steps away."Both of you, please wait a moment," she shouted as she ran around.One of the beggars turned around. His wrinkled face revealed a grim expression."What's wrong, little Dao Shi? Why are you holding up those of us who are in a hurry? Are you going to make a large donation?" asked the beggar in a tone that sounded impatient.There was a trace of humiliation on his face.Now, at close range, under the moonlight and stars, Eadric Rong could see clearly.The robes and tunics worn by these two beggars looked clean. All the patches and embroidery on their clothes look neat, as if they were just made up.There was no musty odor that usually clings to beggars. In fact, their clothes looked new and not tattered. "Beggars from the clean clothes stream?" thought Eadric R
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Meeting in the Chamber of Courage - Part One
The Fortune Villa, a hidden gem in the heart of the Western Market, stands majestically among the lively row of nighttime entertainment venues, adding an elegant touch to the nightlife of Daqi City, the capital of Wriston.This grand building, towering over the others, is constructed from the finest materials. Its luxurious pillars and beams are made from the luminous yellow Phoebe Zhennan wood, creating an unparalleled aura of opulence.All the furnishings, including intricately carved tables and chairs, are crafted from the exquisite Huanghuali wood, adding a touch of elegance to every corner of the room.Upon entering the main hall, visitors are greeted with a walkway made of coral stones imported directly from the Tropical Lands. Along this path lies a miniature forest planted with Osmanthus and red Plum trees. When these flowers bloom, the scenery is breathtaking, reminiscent of the Vermillion Bird blossoming in spring.It's no wonder that the Fortune Pavilion has become an exclu
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Meeting in the Chamber of Courage - Part Two
Ren Junming, Deputy Leader of the Hua Shan Sect, also stood and clapped, as if applauding themselves for successfully overthrowing the Leader of the Heretical Sect, the Black Bat King.Suddenly, the entire room erupted in applause. Everyone praised Feng Yuchen and Ren Junming for their success in the Gobi Desert.As we know, during the assault in the Gobi Desert, all the White Sect members wore white hoods, hiding their faces to avoid being accused as attackers first.In fact, Zhang Longjin, the Leader of the Martial World from the White Sect, who is also the leader of the Wudang Sect, had prohibited the assault. He was worried that such actions would trigger a wave of war between the two sects, resulting in chaos in the Wriston Empire. He recalled past events when war broke out between the White Sect and the Black Sect, ultimately causing suffering for the common people, those who had no interest in the conflict.However, unbeknownst to Zhang Longjin, there was dissent within the all
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Moonlight Sword Skill Action Part I.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense, and everyone was shocked.Previously, they had believed most of the stories told by Kun Lun Sect Vice Leader Feng Yuchen about the Black Bat King's death at the hands of Lian Yi Sword Formation.However, when they saw a mysterious figure in a black robe, with his wide and long robe stretching like a bat's wings, standing on the surface of the artificial lake without sinking, their faith in Feng Yuchen's story began to fade.In fact, Nun Junhua, who had been displeased with Feng Yuchen's arrogant attitude from the start, now spoke in a quite loud and sneering tone."Didn't I hear recently that someone told me that he had conquered the Black Bat King?""Who would have thought that tonight I would meet the Black Bat King himself in person, in a fit state!" His tone sounded cold, and there was a trace of contempt deeply felt in his words.Feng Yuchen's face turned ugly. This insinuation was like a slap in the face after he had blurted out that he had

"This time, the Bat King won't be able to escape," whispered Mr. Caleb Yan, Deputy Sect Leader of Wudang, in a tone full of admiration. He whispered to his companion beside him, Zhen Yuan - the Deputy Sect Leader of the Silver Moon Sect."The Thousand Flower Sword Style is a technique derived from the Book of Nine Sutras, created by the founder of the Gobi Desert Sect himself.""It is very difficult to find a person who is able to dodge and escape the deadly attacks launched by Nun Junhua," he said with a cold smile."The Black Bat King is definitely dead!"However, a shocking event took place in mid-air, as the two figures demonstrated their skills in body-lightening.When the sword slashed by Nun Junhua was already approaching the Black Bat King's body that was still soaring in the air about 10 meters off the ground, suddenly a faint smile spread across the Bat King's lips.His eyes gleamed with mockery, and although he wore a black jade mask, it was all plain to see.Unexpectedly,
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Five-Silk Shop - First Part.
With very slow steps, Eadric Rong walked across the lobby of the Moon Orchid Inn. He intended to climb the stairs that would take him to his room on the second floor of the inn.Although it was early morning, the sun was not yet visible on the eastern horizon. The rooster had also crowed, but the street in front of the inn was still quiet.The Moon Orchid Inn, located in the East Market of Daqi Town, is a modest inn that is not too big. From the entrance, which is always open, visitors will immediately find themselves in the lobby.The inn does not have a large space for a flower garden or an area covered with Maple or Peach Trees, a custom found in high-end hotels.In an instant, Eadric Rong was greeted by the Front Office clerk, who was battling sleepiness in the lobby. Taking a quick glance at the Front Office desk, he continued his slow pace."Hopefully, the officer won't notice my presence as I speed past!" thought Eadric Rong.However, even though he walked so slowly that he bar

Carefully, Eadric Rong removed the white underwear and discovered a long wound that stretched from the top of his chest to his abdomen. His eyes widened, and he bit his lip in pain."Luckily it's only an external wound; it didn't penetrate the internal organs," he said as he applied the wound medicine he had gotten from Kongjian's belt.He began to stitch up the long, gaping wound, once again biting his lip, an expression of pain drawn on his face due to the deep pain.After a sip of tea, the sword wound was no longer bleeding. Eadric Rong immediately sat in the Lotus position to cultivate."The energy of the Gobi Desert Sect's Thousand Flower Swordsmanship is really dangerous. Even though I managed to dismantle all of its energy, there's no way that the old nun's energy fragments could tear my chest like this!" Eadric Rong thought with relief.After cultivating for about two hours, all the blood flow in his meridians was restored, no longer as chaotic as before.Eadric Rong felt very
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact New Appearance.
With his humble appearance, where the Taoist robes he wore were worn and frayed in places, Eadric Rong looked like a poverty-stricken shadow of the past.One of the waiters at the Five-Silk Shop, a well-known shop in the capital, thought that Eadric Rong was a beggar and sent him away.In those days, it was very common for a Taoist to ask for alms from those he deemed capable.And in return, they would repay the favor by imparting some skills such as writing simple amulets that ward off evil spirits or writing calligraphy with wise sentences that can provide inspiration."Go away..." the Five-Silk Shop attendant's voice lowered after seeing that the figure he thought was a beggar turned out to be a Taoist."Our Five Sutra Shop already has many evil spirit-repelling talismans, as well as calligraphy of wise words," he said with a pretense of humility, yet there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.It was true that he looked down on the Taoist just because of his simple appearance.Even

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
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
