The sound of water falling from a mini artificial waterfall into a large crock inside the Zen garden synchronized with Eadric Rong's racing heartbeat."Ye Hua Sect dares to play games behind the Fortune Koi Hall? And Sect Vice Leader Khong Tong is involved in all this?" Eadric Rong's heart was filled with questions. Anger began to burn within him.Feeling still unclear, Eadric Rong asked again in a curious tone, "But why does Tang Chuan want Sect Leader Ye Hua to transfer all the raw materials of He Chan Ginseng resources to the Tang Noble Family? If she needs money, can't she go to Miss Murong and ask for tribute? Why should he oppress and force Sect Leader Ye Hua to betray after Sect Leader Ye Hua received financial donations and a lot of resources for the sect's advancement?"Silence prevailed. Only the sound of water splashing and bamboo leaves rustling in the Zen garden could be heard, creating a profound atmosphere.Cautiously, Mr. Ma Hu asked Eadric Rong, "Dao Shi... do you not
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Events of Qingsong Forest.
Time had already shown Chou Shi, as the second bugle sounded.In Qingsong Pine Forest, a forest located in the middle of the border between Ye Hua Sect and Jiangzhou City, there was a group of men sitting on horses.Two large train cars were also visible there. They were members of the Silver Horse Expedition, led by Song Xuefeng."Tonight is our scheduled time for transporting those resources. Why is it that until now, when the time has entered the second chime, the people of the Ye Hua Sect have yet to show their faces?""Did something go wrong?" asked Jiang Lingxin, addressing their leader, Song Xuefeng."We still have to wait until sunrise, as agreed, Young Master!" replied Song Xuefeng.His hands were clenched, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead despite the cold night breeze penetrating to the bone.Two hours had passed, but the Ye Hua Sect party had yet to arrive. According to calculations, they were supposed to be on their way to deliver goods from Ye Hua Sect to Qingsong
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Night of the Massacre.
Lu Qiang and Liang Fen, the two key disciples of Ye Hua Sect, instantly launched the War God Dance Style.The swords in the hands of these two young geniuses vanished in a scroll of white-colored sword light, emitting an ear-piercing ringing, as if hinting at impending death."Good! What a deadly sword strike! It turns out that the rumors circulating about the dangerous Ye Hua Sect's Sword Style were not a figment of the imagination!" praised Song Xuefeng of the Silver Horse Expedition, his eyes twinkling with admiration.The coils of white sword beams raced toward the Taoist who was solemn in prayer, seemingly unperturbed by the threat of sword energy threatening his life."Tuk-tuk-tuk!""People of integrity are more respected than those who cheat. An honest life brings inner peace, while deceit brings destruction." The Daoist priest's voice echoed, as if it filled the entire Qingsong Forest, carrying a deep and terrifying message.On the other hand, the muyu sound grew louder, and t

"We are ready to cooperate with the Expedition Leader!" the four men shouted in unison, fervor burning in their voices.After saying those words, the five members of the Silver Horse Expedition attacked simultaneously. Their bodies vanished into fast-moving white shadows, as if nothing could stop them.The buzzing sound of machetes was terrifying, accompanied by the swish of spears that resembled the sound of sea waves, as if they were ready to swallow anyone whole.The air was oppressive, and the aura of death was rampant, radiating in all directions. These five cultivators from the Silver Horse Expedition were intent on mercilessly taking the priest's life, while the priest looked at them with pity."You want to kill me? You really don't want to ask why I appeared here?" The Taoist priest's voice sounded sad.He seemed to regret the actions of the five Silver Horse Expedition cultivators who intended to take his life just because he was caught eavesdropping on their conversation.Ho
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Mission Complete, New Problems - Part II.
Satisfied with all the action, Eadric Rong quickly disappeared from the scene. At this moment, only the sound of crackling flames could be heard.Only the morning breeze and the spiky pine leaves witnessed the events of that dark morning.It was only when the day began to brighten, around the time of the Si Shi period (09:00 - 11:00), that a group of people from the Ye Hua Sect arrived, having seen the black smoke rising into the sky.However, this group of Ye Hua Sect disciples only found the remains and debris of the train car. Not a single clue was left behind.This was considered an embarrassing scandal for the Ye Hua Sect, especially for the Tang Noble Family of the Capital, as well as the Khong Tong Sect, the protector of the Ye Hua Sect.Eadric Rong hurried back to the capital. As soon as he arrived, he immediately met Miss Murong for a one-on-one meeting.Miss Murong's boudoir looked as neat as ever. The last incident was a mess in Eadric Rong's eyes.Apparently, all the jewel
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Trial of the Silver Lotus Monastery – Part I.
As fall entered the Wriston Empire, despite the country being located in the southern part of the Lotus Continent, the climate still experienced four seasons, making the air feel chilly and biting.As the wind blew in from the north, the chill penetrated to the bone, sneaking through every layer of the cloak that fluttered in the wind.At that moment, dozens of senior cultivators from the Eight Sects of the Five Star White Stream walked up the steps towards the main hall at the peak of Mount Yin Lianhua.The maple trees lining the steps displayed a vibrant red color with touches of bright orange, providing a warm contrast to the cold air.As the autumn wind whistled by, many yellowish-red leaves fell along the steps.This sight made all the cultivators pause to enjoy the beauty of the falling maple leaves. Nature seemed to be whispering, accompanying their steps towards the main hall."What do you think the topic of discussion will be for the alliance at this meeting?" asked Ren Junmi
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Trial of the Silver Lotus Monastery – Part II.
"Omitohud," said Monk Kangkai in a soft tone. "Leader Zhang, are we able to begin this meeting?" he asked very politely while bowing."Please begin, Stalked Monk," replied Priest Zhang with a small nod, showing the same courtesy.The White Stream Council this time seemed very serious. Attendees were usually only represented by the sect leader's representative, but this time, all the sect leaders as well as some key elders and key disciples were present.The atmosphere inside the hall was tense yet respectful, with everyone realizing how important this meeting was.Outside the hall, the autumn breeze blew gently, carrying the scent of dry leaves and fresh earth.The maple trees surrounding the shrine were blushing, creating a contrasting scene to the seriousness inside the hall. Falling leaves drifted slowly, adding to the dramatic atmosphere outside, while inside, the tension was palpable."Our discussion at this session is about a serious incident that happened recently, which shocke
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Ferrin Teng, Wudang's Number One Genius.
It should be noted that the Gobi Desert Sect only accepts female disciples. In addition to selecting students who are talented in martial arts, they also choose students who are attractive with good posture.The subtle scent of jasmine and sandalwood wafted from the gathering place of the Gobi Desert Sect disciples, making all the youths look away and feel jealous of Ferrin Teng.Sun Meiling, Zhang Lihua, and Lin Xue - the three main geniuses of the Gobi Desert Sect - whispered while glancing at Ferrin Teng, who looked like a hero of the White Stream.Feeling increasingly inflated, Ferrin Teng continued with a voice that became louder and more boastful. He didn't expect that these arrogant words would cause dislike in everyone's hearts."Therefore, I am confident. If I'm sent to hunt down the Little False Priest, believe me, the martial world will be safe." Ferrin Teng surveyed the room with great authority, looking at everyone, and they were amazed to hear his words."I promise to br

"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
