2025-01-01 16:38:57If his actions were reported to his father, then Malakai Yan was sure that his father would not hesitate to expel him from the Wudang Sect.
"We have to go!" snapped Malakai Yan harshly as he pulled his two friends, Judith Tang and Teddy Huo, to leave the place. The two of them followed Malakai Yan back to the residences of the inner court disciples in the Wudang Sect.
Since Elder Juric Teng's arrival, the audience of Wudang Sect's outer court disciples had immediately dispersed. No one dared comment after this stern elder's arrival.
After things quietened, Elder Juric Teng flicked his sleeves and disappeared in a light movement.
At that moment, Millie Xiao immediately ran towards Eadric Rong, who was still on the ground from the blow. Malakai Yan's sword had almost taken his life.
"Eadric Rong, are you okay?" the girl asked as she scrutinized Eadric Rong's body, looking for signs of injury.
"Ah, they're all just minor scratches. They'll heal over time," Eadric Rong replied as he took out some ointment to treat the sword scratches on his body. While Millie Xiao applied the ointment, Eadric Rong was only silent, paying close attention to her every move.
"Millie Xiao, were you the one who called Elder Juric Teng earlier?" asked Eadric Rong.
Millie Xiao did not answer but nodded while staying focused on her task.
"I have told you repeatedly. There's no need to intervene between Malakai Yan, me, and his friends. I'm afraid you'll get into trouble," Eadric Rong said in a worried tone.
However, Millie Xiao just shrugged indifferently.
"If I'm not the one to report this incident, then who is? Malakai Yan's behavior deserves punishment. I wouldn't be surprised if he faces trouble someday because of his arrogant attitude."
Eadric Rong finally expressed his gratitude. Millie Xiao's help was a lifesaver that might have prevented him from greater harm.
The two parted ways, with Eadric Rong heading for the sect's kitchen, where he worked daily as an outer court disciple and laborer.
"Be careful on your way home. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner," Eadric Rong said before parting ways.
+++
The fire crackled in the large sect kitchen, and the heat spread. Dinner preparations had to be provided for the many sect residents, especially those of the inner court disciples, officials, and sect leaders.
Outer court disciples are not considered and must fend for themselves. Those unable to endure it can leave the sect, as this is the best option.
That night, Eadric Rong returned to the humble cottage where he lived. He was exhausted. Two of the ten workers on duty with the head chef were absent today, so the work had to be handled by the seven of them.
"I'd better go straight to bed. I can't do it anymore, memorizing copies of martial techniques and practicing gathering pure air."
Eadric Rong practiced diligently because his congenital disability prevented him from gathering pure energy. Catching up was his attempt to challenge the laws of nature.
It was between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. at that time. The road to his residence at the edge of the forest was very quiet. Eadric Rong's residence was indeed very secluded in the Wudang sect.
Not many outer court students chose to set up their huts there because it was too far from the center and quite dangerous at night, as sometimes wild animals came out of the forest.
When Eadric Rong had just opened the door of his hut, a wooden beam suddenly hit his head.
PANG!
The world instantly became dark.
The stars swirled in Eadric Rong's mind as he fell unconscious, not knowing what was happening around him...
The night breeze rustled, and owls hooted as the night wore on.
At that moment, the sound of clomping feet could be heard approaching the unconscious Eadric Rong and then dragging him along.

Uncle Wu joined in embracing Rong Tian, trying to comfort him with trembling hands. "Your father is fine, don't worry," he said, though his voice sounded forced and his eyes could not meet Rong Tian's piercing gaze.This dramatic scene did not go unnoticed by the five guards stationed at the Deputy Minister's house. They wore leather armor reinforced with metal studs, their hands resting casually on sword hilts as they observed the reunion.They were newcomers, unfamiliar with Rong Tian's identity or his connection to the household. However, their gazes were unfriendly, as if there was a hidden story that made them suspicious of any unexpected visitors.Rong Tian paid no attention to their hostile stares, his focus solely on the two elderly servants he respected. Their reaction told him that something had changed dramatically during his long absence from the mortal world."I want to see my father. Where is he?" Rong Tian asked firmly, his voice carrying an authority that made the air
Two Years Later.
Following the catastrophic events in the Hadarac Desert, the defeat of the Pure Sky Tao Sect had shaken the martial arts world in the capital city of Biramaki. The very foundations of righteous cultivation seemed to tremble like leaves in an autumn storm.The name of the mysterious figure known as the Bat King echoed everywhere, becoming the topic of conversation on everyone's lips. From merchant stalls to noble pavilions, his legend spread like wildfire across dry grassland.From dawn to dusk, there was nothing more exciting to talk about than the epic battle between the Bat Demon, nicknamed the Black Bat King, and the Pure Sky Tao Sect. The tale grew more terrifying with each telling, as rumors have a way of feeding on fear itself.In every corner of the city, from the bustling wine stalls with their red lanterns swaying in the breeze to the quiet tea houses where steam rose from delicate porcelain cups, the name echoed. Even in places of entertainment and houses of pleasure, where
Absolute Victory- Part II.
The situation descended into chaos. No one was prepared to face the army of undead whose strength far exceeded their expectations.The usually calm and disciplined cultivators now looked panicked, their steps disordered, and their defenses beginning to crumble.“Look at the sword!” Elder Duan Meng suddenly shouted, throwing an amulet into the sky.The amulet exploded in a flash of green light, transforming into a large, glittering jade sword. The sword looked heavy, but its movements were so swift it seemed to have a life of its own.“Kill that cursed undead!” Duan Meng commanded in a loud voice. He spat spiritual energy toward the jade sword. In an instant, the jade sword shot forward at a speed invisible to the naked eye.SRRT!The body of one of the undead creatures was split in two, collapsing onto the sandy ground and remaining motionless. Duan Meng smiled triumphantly, his face radiating victory. “Just a simple demonic technique—how dare you try to oppose the Pure Sky Sect!”How
Absolute Victory- Part I.
“There’s no one here. We’ve been here for the duration of a joss stick. Where are the undead you mentioned?” Elder Duan Meng’s expression was gloomy, his face as cold as jade.With a sneer on his lips, his eyes narrowed sharply as he glared at Mo Zhengsheng with disdain, causing Mo Zhengsheng's heart to sink.The disciples of the Pure Sky Tao Sect standing behind him also cast disdainful glances. The bone-chilling night air of the Hadarac Desert made everyone feel uneasy.How much better it would be to choose to lie under a thick blanket, enjoying the warmth after a day of intense training within the sect.However, now they were forced to stand in the middle of the dark desert, waiting for something that might only be a figment of Mo Zhengsheng's imagination, so many of them glanced at him with contempt."Yes, that's right. We've been here for almost an hour, but not a single undead has appeared. Did you really experience that? Or is this just a trick of yours?" Elder Fan Liu, who was

The Night of the Attack.
The young man sat cross-legged in the dark and damp cave, a place that had long served as his sanctuary in the treacherous Abyss of Suffering. The dim light from the oil lamp flickered against the rough stone walls, casting dancing shadows that moved like restless spirits across the ancient rock formations.Before him lay an old book whose leather cover had been worn smooth by countless years of handling. The musty scent of aged parchment filled the air, mingling with the dampness that clung to every surface of the cave.The book contained the sacred legacy of the demonic cultivation heir, a precious inheritance he had studied with unwavering dedication since discovering this hidden refuge. Each page whispered secrets of power that could either elevate a cultivator to immortality or destroy them completely.Rong Tian flipped through the yellowed pages with reverent care, his keen eyes scanning every word and mystical symbol inscribed there.
