"So let’s get to the bottom of it now! Who deserves to be called the Great Leader of the Black Sect?" he continued in a tone full of authority and menace.As soon as he finished speaking, Bianfu Wang's body disappeared into a beam of dark light.WUSHBing Xin Mo gasped at the swift attack. He immediately released a stream of pure, poisonous air and slashed with his signature sword art."Frozen Ice Heart Sword Slash!"Cracking sounds rang out as Bing Xin Mo made the air freeze. Everyone instantly shivered, and many fell unconscious from the extreme cold.However, Bianfu Wang did not reduce his flying speed. His hand was already holding an old and cracked iron object, an ancient artifact. His lips softly uttered a word."Sword Pulse!"PANG!A violent clash ensued, and Bing Xin Mo's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the air crack as the Sword Pulse struck and shattered his Ice Heart Sword.It didn’t stop there; Bing Xin Mo felt incomparable pain as the Sword Pulse sliced through his
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Era of Chaos – Part II.
The sound of thunderous shouts rang out, flooding the underground room with electrifying euphoria.Over a thousand cult leaders prostrated themselves and worshipped the Black Bat King, who stood on top of a dried-up branch of the oak tree.The faint glow of oil lamps and torches illuminated his figure dressed in a dark black robe, making him look like a terrifying giant bat.It was an oppressive and terrifying sight! The Black Bat King's shadow seemed to extend across the stone walls, giving the impression that he was part of the darkness itself.The meeting of the Black Stream cultivators began with a tense atmosphere. The dimly lit oil lamps and torches added to the gloomy ambiance in the large underground room.Tense and wary faces could be seen among the meeting participants.The main discussion was the cause of the disputes that had arisen, incurring the wrath of the White Sect. The sect leaders of the Black Stream whispered to each other, debating theories and speculations.As i

After the Meeting in Xiang ForestAfter the cultivators of the cults returned from the meeting in Xiang Forest, the hatred and disputes between the two cults that had been trying to hold themselves back for a long time began to undergo an upheaval.The cold autumn air, coupled with the grudges burning in the hearts of the cultivators, intensified the tension between the two camps.It all started with the Silver Horse Expedition case. Ever since the incident in Qingsong Forest, where the leader and deputy leader of the Silver Horse Expedition were mysteriously killed, Young Master Tang Wei of the Tang Clan had been furious. His anger burned like an uncontrollable fire."This incident must be investigated! I suspect that there's a cult involved!" Tang Wei's voice echoed loudly, filling the Tang Family hall in the capital.He kicked the teak table, which broke in half. The power and force he applied in that moment of anger was the empty-handed art of the Khong Tong Sect. Wood chips flew

"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 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

"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
