Last night, Hou Yan had mentioned Eadric Rong's genius to his father Hou Gang, who had become very impressed with the boy.

"He'll be at the top of the world on Lotus Continent later," Hou Gang hissed almost inaudibly.

The sun was rolling fast. It was already overhead.

At the Wudang Sect Gate, Eadric Rong looked up with a feeling of excitement.

"This is my home! I will practice spiritual skills, after reporting to the Sect Mission Bureau."

But something unexpected happened.

When Eadric Rong's footsteps were halfway up the stairs to the top of the Wudang Sect, suddenly twenty people flashed and locked him in a sword formation.

"Eadric Rong, the treacherous Wudang Sect first-year disciple! Accept the punishment of the Investigation and Punishment Bureau!"

Eadric Rong's face tightened. "What did I do wrong? Why am I labeled as a traitorous disciple?"

On that day, on the steps that connected the Wudang Sect from the foot of the majestic Wudang Mountain, there was Eadric Rong surrounded by

    Eadric Rong was placed in a desolate cave, a special prison for disciples deemed to have broken the rules of the Wudang Sect.The cave was located behind the Wudang Sect Main Building, a place that was heavily guarded by middle-level disciples who had cultivated high enough to prevent anyone punished there from escaping.Eadric Rong was placed in one of the iron-lined rooms, a room that measured 3 x 3 meters. It was one of the six rooms in the cave, with three on the left side and three on the right side of the cave.No other students were in the prison in the other five rooms. Because the cave was located deep inside, there was very little light. There were only oil lamps on each of the left and right sides, and one oil lamp each in the six rooms.Eadric Rong sat on the shabby pile of straw that served as his bedding and tried hard to ignore the feelings of anger that were overwhelming him."Who exactly dares to accuse me of being a traitor? But we'll find out tomorrow. I won't let t

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   A Person Named Zhang Qing Nian - Part I.

    In a dark cave, a prison for dangerous figures in the Wudang Sect, the atmosphere was tense. There were only a few oil lamps illuminating the room, but the atmosphere had already turned cold."M-I'm sorry, Elder," Eadric Rong said, sweat pouring down his forehead.Not only did the figure in the room next to the prison almost slap his mind to pieces, but it also knew that Eadric Rong was conducting espionage activities using his spiritual power."He's angry!" muttered Eadric Rong in fear.The specialty of a person who is skilled in managing spiritual power is his ability to dive into and assess the opponent's intelligence, knowing how much pure energy and air the opponent has, as well as his cultivation level.However, not all opponents can have their minds probed. If a soul power user expert tried to investigate an opponent who had a high cultivation, this action would be extremely dangerous.Silence fell over the room after Eadric Rong withdrew his mind from the detention room next t

    A look of dissatisfaction was immediately drawn on his face. "It's not fair! They treat me like trash and a lowly person! Just you wait; one day I will avenge all this unfair treatment!" Eadric Rong thought angrily.Shortly after, one of the Court Bureau disciples immediately handcuffed Eadric Rong like a criminal. His head was stuffed into a piece of board that was locked on the other side.Both of his hands were cuffed in the wide board holes on the left and right. He looked like a prisoner of war being brought in for trial."Is this necessary? You haven't even proven that I'm a traitor! Why is my treatment so bad?" protested Eadric Rong to Xu Wei. His face looked hateful at the unfair treatment.While the ten court disciples were handcuffing Eadric Rong, Xu Wei just looked at him with a haughty look. There was no mercy at all. Even when Eadric Rong spoke up and tried to defend himself, Xu Wei's face seemed to leave a condescending aura.Eadric Rong couldn't do anything about it. A

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   Disciple Court Hearing Part I.

    The Wudang Sect's disciple courtroom was in a stand-alone building, separate from the sect's main building.In the room, sitting on the oversized chair at the front of the courtroom, was a Taoist Priest of the Wudang Sect named Yin Ying. He was the main elder of the Overall Court Bureau, a combination of the disciple court and the sect's general court.To the left and right of Priest Yin Guo, there were three main disciples who were referred to as leading disciples—Ferrin Teng, Torek Da, and Faelin Fen.Meanwhile, Eadric Rong himself appeared kneeling with his hands and neck shackled, in front of the tribunal. He looked like a prisoner ready to be punished.Expressionless and cold faces were clearly painted on the faces of the three disciple leaders as they stared mercilessly at the kneeling Eadric Rong.Priest Yin Ying, on the other hand, seemed to have a cold, expressionless face.The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense. This was the first time in fifty years that such a trial had

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   Disciple Court Hearing Part II.

    There was silence as Edmon Ouwyang stood in front of the court. He stared at the audience with a face that looked distressed and deeply hurt.Eadric Rong had not yet spoken when Teng Jihun loudly spoke."Edmon Ouwyang, first-year disciple of the Wudang Sect! Are you willing to testify, honestly and without lying?""I do... I do!" hissed Edmon Ouwyang with eyes glaring at the audience and a wounded look. That kid was really good at playing charades."Then testify!" shouted Ferrin Teng in a booming voice. Apparently, Ferrin Teng wanted to make today's trial a memorable lesson for the Wudang Sect disciples.He used Eadric Rong's mistake as a lesson for the sect disciples not to commit rash acts in the future.Edmon Ouwyang, a teenager who was very cunning and good at acting, stood in the center of the room.With a traumatized look on his face, he began to tell the story of the night in the Willow Forest. The whole time Edmon Ouwyang was telling his story, he was very good at making a goo

    "Leader Liu!" Eadric Rong's voice trembled, full of anxiety, when he saw the Yunshui Chun village leader standing at the door of the disciple court.With heavy steps, Leader Liu walked into the courtroom. From his dazed movements and pale face, it was obvious that he was under tremendous pressure.Eadric Rong tried to look into the man's eyes, seeking the slightest hint of recognition or sympathy. However, not once did Leader Liu turn his head in Eadric Rong's direction.Instead, he rushed to stand in front of the leader's disciples, looking unconfident as he realized there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him."Leader Liu!" called Eadric Rong once again, his voice trembling.This young man hoped that this was his chance to save himself from all the accusations that Edmon Ouwyang had made.However, for some reason, the man was unwilling to look away even slightly, let alone let their two eyes meet. Eadric Rong was getting more and more agitated. He was sure something was not

    That night in jail, Eadric Rong sat with a troubled expression. He did not expect that Edmon Ouwyang would slander him and even bribe Leader Liu of Yunshui Chun Village to testify falsely."I will not forget this slander! In the future, I will collect my debt from Edmon Ouwyang!" Eadric Rong's voice sounded haunted as he whispered softly.In front of him was a plate of rice with a piece of steamed bread and cold vegetables for dinner. Although he wasn't from a rich family, looking at the bland food, Eadric Rong had no appetite.Moreover, just this afternoon he was devastated by Edmon Ouwyang and Leader Liu's actions in the courtroom, making all the tasteless food seem like trash in his eyes.It was getting late in the night when the first bugle was sounded by the officer. The sound echoed, spreading across the plateau of Mount Wudang, breaking the silence of the night.Eadric Rong, a young man who still couldn't close his eyes, lay on his thin mattress. His heart was in turmoil, fille

    Eadric Rong stood still, caught in a dilemma of two difficult choices. He could choose to stay in that cave prison, waiting for a decision from the Sect Master until his pearl core was broken, his legs and arms were broken, and he became a cripple for life.Or, he could choose to leave and become a fugitive of the Wudang Sect forever if he chose to follow the old man standing in front of him."I am not forcing you to follow me," the old man said in a soft yet firm voice. "However, I feel sorry for a talent like you. They will destroy your pearl core, which will make your future bleak. However, all decisions are in your hands."Hearing the urging, Eadric Rong knelt down and worshiped the old man.He banged his forehead against the cold, moss-strewn floor. "Senior, mighty old man. I have no purpose in leaving the Wudang Sect. Ever since I was a child, I've been a lone wolf, without a father and mother.""Living and working as a lackey in this Wudang Sect, that's what I know as my home.

    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

    “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

    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

  • Qingxue Peak’s Secret Influence.

    The soldier also announced in a stern tone, his voice no less loud than the man in the red robe."After the Young Dragon ranking list is issued by the Qingxue party, the Emperor cordially invites all young geniuses, ranked first to ten, to attend a banquet in the palace. On that occasion, the grand prize will be handed over directly by His Majesty!"Eadric Rong, who was already seated in the invited guest seat, not far from Ouyang Fai, returned his gaze to his new friend.He felt curious, wanting to know more about the organization that had just been mentioned. In a low voice, he asked Ouyang Fai who sat beside him, his voice barely audible in the din of the crowd."Brother Ouyang, what exactly is the Qingxue Organization?" asked Eadric Rong, his eyes narrowing slightly, indicating how seriously he wanted to know.Ouyang Fai smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling as if he was enjoying the moment of sharing his knowledge."Qingxue Peak, a secret organization located on the highest peak of

  • Hundred Swords, One Victor.

    However, in the face of such ferocity, Eadric Rong remained calm, even looking like an immovable iceberg. With a subtle yet determined gesture, he pulled out the rombengan sword from the umbrella he always carried with him."Ferris Wheel Sword!" he exclaimed, with a tone that echoed throughout the arena.In an instant, an enormous energy containing the power of Sword Intention shot out from the sword sweep in Eadric Rong's hand.The energy seemed to split the air, forming a giant screen that emitted a deadly aura. From that screen, a hundred shadow swords were created, shooting out at lightning speed.Some of the swords formed a solid fortress of defense, while others attacked relentlessly, piercing the air with a loud roar, targeting the sweeping waves of the Ocean Rattling Fan launched by Bao Xuan.TRANG - TRANG! The sound of the clash rang out loudly, like the clanking of metals engaged in a deadly battle.Bao Xuan tried to shield himself with his fan, but the hundred sword energie
