The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Morning on Yin Yue Mountain.
Although confused, Manager Su nodded quickly. "Yes, Protector Guo. In the next two days at the latest, I will deliver copies of the maps directly to Sanqing Temple."In the back of his mind, Manager Su wondered: What was Protector Guo's purpose in collecting the maps of these two white sects?>>>> The night at the top of Mount Yinyue, the headquarters of the Silver Moon Sect, was very quiet when the first drum sounded.Only the sound of the night breeze blowing softly caused the pine tree leaves to rustle, adding to the silence.Unfortunately, thick dew began to cover the leaves and freeze, so the fresh aroma of the Pine Forest seemed to be drowned out by the winter chill.A figure flashed quickly, jumping nimbly from one tree to another. Its wide cloak spread out like the wings of a large bat, giving it a frightening impression.When the gloomy moonlight fell on his face, there was only a cold look behind the black jade mask.He was Bianfu Wang, otherwise known as the Black Bat King
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Morning on Yin Yue Mountain – Part II.
The Black Bat King's hand stretched out, pushing the window with a smooth motion that made no sound. The wooden latticed window covered in Hanzi paper suddenly turned to dust, as if touched by a supernatural force.Inside the Silver Moon Sect's library, an atmosphere of silence prevailed. The Black Bat King climbed the stairs with light steps, heading toward an old bookcase labeled "Secrets." The scent of dusty old books and weathered wood filled the air, creating a mysterious aura.He lit the lighter and began to scrutinize title after title of the Silver Moon Sect's copy of the Book of Knowledge. The small light from the lighter cast shadows on the wall, adding to the dramatic feel."Where is this Silver Shadow Sword Dance Style, one of the Silver Moon Sect's most deadly techniques, hidden?" he murmured, his sharp eyes scanning each book carefully.He searched for a long time but had yet to find the sword technique he wanted. The Black Bat King was nearly desperate.Just then, a par

After the incident at Yinyue Mountain Peak, the martial world was in an uproar. This event created a huge wave in society, causing whispers and discussions everywhere.Stories of the Black Bat King breaking into the library at Yinyue Peak were increasingly being told.Through word of mouth, the story continued to evolve, adding color and detail that fascinated listeners.In restaurants, tea houses, and various entertainment venues throughout the Wriston Empire, storytellers and traveling artists even openly performed operas about the Black Bat King's magic, vividly portraying how foolish the Silver Moon Sect was that he defeated.When the opera was presented on stage, the melodious voices of the singers and the agile movements of the dancers depicted all the scenes perfectly, showcasing the extraordinary ability of the Black Bat King.The Black Bat King was finally portrayed as a superhero, captivating many.Consequently, the White Stream side became even angrier.They continued to se

Intentionally, as if caught by the patrolling Zhonglu Sect troops, he made those with high body lightening skills jump onto the ridge and performed a chase action on top of the Zhonglu Sect's ridge.Teng-teng!A clanging sound rang out, creating a stir in the Zhonglu Sect."After him, book thief!" "He just came out of the library, breaking into our sect's martial arts!"Noisy voices could be heard behind the Black Bat King; he just sneered the whole time. Finally, when the Black Bat King arrived at one of the ridges of an enormous building, he left his pursuers far behind.But at that moment, a deadly sword aura suddenly filled the atmosphere."Enough of your cat-and-mouse games, Black Bat King!"A middle-aged man stood upright like a needle in the corner of the building's vast ridge.In his hand was a sword that glinted in the moonlight, giving off a majestic yet terrifying impression. In a low but firm voice, the figure spoke."Return our Zhonglu Sect's martial arts book that you st

This time, the break-in at the Library on Zhonglu Mountain wasn't as exciting as the incident on Yunyue Mountain, when the Silver Moon Sect's library was vandalized.Nonetheless, this incident has left many people uneasy.As a result, that very morning, Gao Li, the leader of the Zhonglu Sect, was seen climbing the peak of Wudang with furious steps. Behind him were several Zhonglu Sect disciples carrying a sizable chest, which was carried by two people.The sun had just risen, its light softly shining on the mountain ridges, creating long shadows along the path Gao Li and his followers traveled.At the sect gate, Gao Li was greeted by the guardian disciples on the steps up to the peak of Wudang. With a tense face and an unfriendly expression, Gao Li only answered their greetings with a brief nod, without a word."What's wrong, making Leader Gao's face look grim?" one of the disciples whispered to his colleague."He didn't even answer our greetings... it's fortunate that his figure is a

Isaac Zhang's face changed, but he could not hide the satisfied smile there. The scent of silver and gold coins spread from the ebony chest."Leader Gao is too modest. There is no need to bother with this kind of tribute. It is your duty as the leader of the martial world to help the Zhonglu Sect," he said in a humble tone, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.He forgot that as a religious leader, he should not appear greedy. His wide smile and small laugh momentarily revealed a human side of him that is rarely seen.+++In the quiet and uncrowded Tangye City, Eadric Rong's life was very comfortable.Every day, he led an interesting and secretive double life. During the day, he lived disguised as a simple priest, tending to the temple and performing the duties of an auxiliary priest.At night, however, he transformed into a different person. Quietly, he would take a boat or bamboo raft to the middle of the ocean to practice martial arts, letting himself get lost in the pressing less

When he stepped foot in the lobby of Villa Full Moon, suddenly dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him, scanning him from head to toe. Their gazes were sharp and alert.Eadric Rong paused, as he felt the aura of a high-ranked cultivator emerge from the bodies of the dozens of strangers staring at him.He felt even worse after seeing the sudden arrival of thousands of imperial troops, and now there were dozens of experts he didn't recognize, who didn't know where they came from, and what was their purpose in Tangye?But Eadric Rong pushed the negative thoughts away from his mind, calming his turbulent heart.Amidst the spying eyes of strangers, he thought to himself, "No one will know that I am the new figure behind the Black Bat King!" he thought to himself, now smiling slightly."After all, isn't it the case that with this level of cultivation, I can hide my cultivation realm, and not be read by anyone?" he thought, confident in his abilities.After composing himself for a moment
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Trail of the Black King.
Suddenly..."The Royal Army will check the Sanqing Temple. It is suspected that he is hiding there. The temple is deserted, rarely visited by pilgrims. It's perfect for a man like him to hide in!"The last mouthful of roast meat was stopped, as Eadric Rong's hand still tightly clamped the last piece of meat. The delicious aroma of the roast that had been tempting was now bitter in his nose.Unconsciously, Eadric Rong glanced at the three men dressed up as merchants.However, from their movements and sharp eyes, he guessed that they were cultivators, no matter which sect they belonged to."Why must the royal troops come at the same time as us? We should finally give them a chance to inspect the Sanqing Temple first!" whispered one of them in an annoyed tone.Eadric Rong immediately felt bad. The peach blossom wine instantly tasted sour and tasteless on his tongue. He lost his appetite, and his once hungry stomach now felt nauseous.Immediately after settling the bill, Eadric Rong hurri

Rain Pier.
"Forgive me, Crown Prince," Eadric Rong said in a low tone, yet full of confidence. "If you trust this simple Taoist priest, please allow me to board a commercial ship. I don't want to attract attention, let alone make it obvious that I'm on a mission from you."The Crown Prince, who understood the intelligence behind Eadric Rong's decision, nodded understandingly.His thoughtful face showed respect for the Taoist master's decision."I understand, Teacher Tao Guo. Forgive me for being too full of worries. Carry out this mission as you see fit, for it is for the best," replied the Crown Prince in a gentle yet firm tone.However, the Crown Prince's worries did not completely disappear. Before Eadric Rong's departure, he sincerely gave a large bag of silver and gold that weighed hundreds of liang."May this fee be sufficient for your journey, Master Tao Guo," he said sincerely, ensuring that Eadric Rong did not lack anything during his trip.Eadric Rong only smiled faintly, realizing the
Vajra Tread Action – Part II.
"Hahaha!" One of them, apparently the leader of the group, took a few steps forward. His voice was cold and full of arrogance."It is precisely because you are from the Crown Prince's side that you have to deal with us. Tell the guest in the carriage to come out and kneel before me, asking for forgiveness. Perhaps, if I am in a generous mood, I will have mercy on him."The interloper leader's words were spoken with confidence, as if he was definitely in control of the situation.His eyes were sharp even though they were covered by the black cloth, but his evil intentions were clear. He had no intention of giving any chance to negotiate. His goal was only one: humiliation.Just as the loud laughter of the interlopers faded away, the sky was suddenly split open by the sound of thunder. Lightning struck, giving off a dazzling white light, making the dark night instantly bright.Under the lightning, the faces of the interlopers who had been full of confidence turned pale. The air around t
Vajra Tread Action.
At first, the rain came down slowly, just a trickle that soaked the road. But as time went on, the rain turned into a downpour, spilling beads of water that hit the ground with a boisterous sound.Lightning occasionally flashed across the sky, accompanied by the deafening rumble of thunder. Visibility was increasingly limited, forcing the coachman to squint his eyes, trying to see ahead in the thick darkness and pouring rain."Master Tao, should we continue our journey?" the coachman called out from behind the curtain dividing the coachman's seat from the train car. His voice was slightly shaken by the bad weather."The weather is very bad. Besides, the train can't go fast. The roads are now muddy and full of puddles. I'm afraid there's something ahead that could cause the train to derail or even crash."Although his voice was loud, there was clear concern behind every word. However, despite speaking so, the coachman did not stop the horses.The train continued to move slowly, though
The Jade Tears Hunt.
Silence fell over the pavilion. The Crown Prince's face looked more and more grim, as if it was covered by an increasingly thick fog of darkness.The news he had just received from the palace completely shook his heart. The State Master had gone to the Emperor and requested that the mission to find Fenghuang's Jade Tears also be assigned to Ninth Prince.The request, of course, had an ulterior motive.Behind his calm demeanor, the State Master clearly wanted to make a point—that if the Crown Prince failed to obtain the Jade Tears, and the Ninth Prince's hunting team succeeded instead, who else would be more worthy to inherit the Imperial throne? Who would be more sincerely concerned about the Emperor's health by finding that heirloom potion that was said to cure all diseases?The Crown Prince looked uneasy, his eyes staring blankly at the tea in front of him. In his heart, a big question raged: would Eadric Rong be willing to help him in this mission? Time was ticking away, and the pr
Whispers of Jade Tears.
His face looked rumpled, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and tense lines around his eyes. Whenever he passed the large window overlooking the garden, he paused and gazed out, as if hoping the view would calm his mind.His breathing was heavy and irregular, showing how deeply anxious he felt.Gao Xiulan, the Crown Prince's 28-year-old wife, watched intently from the side of the room.She stepped slowly up to her husband, carrying a tea cup in a steady but caring hand. Her face was gentle and caring as she offered the cup to the prince."Sir looks agitated. Is there something bothering you?" asked Gao Xiulan in a gentle tone, her voice full of empathy and concern. She looked at the Crown Prince with eyes full of curiosity and worry.The Crown Prince paused for a moment, accepted the cup of tea, and took a sip. His face looked a little better, but he still did not reveal what was bothering him to his wife.Gao Xiulan was used to the news and gossip circulating fast in the palace. She
The Crown Prince’s Burden.
That morning, at a small eatery located on the outskirts of Xuefeng Du City Market, the atmosphere was lively.Thin smoke from the food roasting on the coals danced in the air, mingling with the aroma of spices emanating from the large pot at the back of the kitchen.The customers coming and going seemed busy enjoying their breakfast, but one topic dominated the conversation at every corner of every table: the death of merchant Bai Mingyun and his two bodyguards."So... Fenghuang's Jade Tears really exist? It's not just a made-up legend? But what does it have to do with merchant Bai Mingyun's death?" asked a guest in a half-believing tone, his face slightly pale as he discussed the terrifying topic.An old man in the corner of the room turned his head, his face full of secrets, and replied,"There is definitely a connection. It is said that the merchant came to the north not to trade, but to sell information—about the existence of an ancient herb that has only been considered a fairy
Fenghuang's Jade Tears.
"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
