However, all those words full of emotion and friendship seemed to be blocked by a stone wall. Coldly, Xiao Ning was unwilling to remove her head covering in the slightest. She said,"Eadric Rong... Go now! I hear the sound of a flute blowing, the secret sign of the Wudang sect.""Are you unwilling to appreciate this sacrifice, wanting to let yourself be caught? Leave now!" replied Xiao Ning, shooing Eadric Rong away for the umpteenth time.At that moment, faintly in the distance, a soft whistling sound could barely be heard, as if someone was playing a flute.Eadric Rong's face changed. He knew this was a special sign from the Wudang Sect."Alright, I'll be going! However, I hope you remember that the friendship between the two of us will never break, even if we are on opposite sides.""You are still Xiao Ning, the heart that has always been my helper!" said Eadric Rong.Then, without looking back, he strode towards the west, where the Moon Ring River was, as per the instructions Xiao
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Moon Ring River - Part I.
The Moon Ring River, a long and majestic river, flows from the west. It originates in the Bai Feng Kingdom, then enters the territory of the Wriston Kingdom.The beautiful scenery, twisting and turning like a dancing snake, looks so dazzling when the sunlight hits it.The water in the Moon Ring River always looks so clear as it flows across the plains, with a gentle gurgling sound that permeates the forest and Fertile Valley.The river eventually ends at Daqi City, the capital of Wriston, and empties into the Longwan Ocean.Every bend in the Moon Ring River reveals breathtaking beauty.The view of green trees, such as Pine forests, and the occasional cluster of peach trees, make for a beautiful backdrop.Coupled with the breathtaking view of the undulating grassland, and the sound of birds whistling among the branches of the trees, it creates an enchanting melody of nature.The Moon Ring River is the lifeblood, supplying fertility and harmony to all areas near the river.This river, i

For a moment, silence fell over the room. The moaning sounds that had been coming from the VIP cabin suddenly died down.However, not long after, around the time a hio was burning, the moaning sound came again. This time, it was very low, similar to the sound of someone moaning on the verge of death.Eadric Rong, feeling both curious and compassionate, decided to help the person behind the door. With a single wave of his hand, he managed to break down the door.WUUT! BRAK!The door to the luxurious room was wide open, and the stench of blood immediately wafted out, accompanied by the dim lighting of the oil lamp, making the supposedly luxurious room look creepy.In the center of the room, there was a man dressed in all black sitting limply on the floor. His black hair was down, and his eyes stared at Eadric Rong blankly, like a person who was about to die.Eadric Rong was silent for a moment, taking in the appearance of the figure sitting weakly in front of him. A flash of memory sudd
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact A Surprise - Part I.
When the sound of roosters crowing had penetrated the silence of the forest, announcing the arrival of morning, on board the Silver Turtle sailing towards the South, there was a figure moving in a mysterious way.His movements did not arouse any suspicion, as the morning was still wrapped in darkness, and no one seemed to have stepped out of their cabins for a stroll to enjoy the fresh air on the VIP Class deck.Upon closer inspection, the figure turned out to be Eadric Rong, with his loose, rustling Taoist priest's clothes.The robe moved in the morning breeze, but he seemed to be in a hurry while dragging something large and long, wrapped in a thick cloth to disguise the contents.With panting breath and a pale face, Eadric Rong thought in his heart, "Although he is dead, yet this Black Bat King's figure has such a heavy body weight, and it makes me almost exhausted to drag him!"Apparently, the long bundle was the Black Bat King's corpse. As we all know, Eadric Rong still has inter

This made the two cabin crew members believe instantly. "What caused the loud splashing sound recently was the action of a very large crocodile," the priest replied smoothly, his voice soft but full of conviction."It threw its tail vigorously when it caught the prey of a young tiger that tried to fight it. Of course, the struggle caused a commotion from the water..."The young priest then looked at the two cabin crew, his eyes showing a trace of reprimand."Why would you assume that someone would commit suicide? And if that were the case, wouldn't I, this little priest here, have prevented it!"Nervously, the two cabin crew hurriedly said goodbye. "Please forgive us for disturbing the little priest's prayer activities. We will excuse ourselves then," they said in unison.Their faces at this moment looked full of relief. All that they had thought was unwarranted. They passed on, leaving the young priest in his peace and tranquility.Before long, inside his luxurious cabin, Eadric Rong
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Capital of Daqi - Part I
For the remaining six days on the way to the capital of Daqi - the Wriston Empire, Eadric Rong chose to seclude himself inside the VIP room he rented.He never left the room, except to cultivate and practice the sword techniques he obtained from the gift kept by the Bat King - the Kongjian Belt.Even if he was hungry, in the Taoist wooden rucksack, there was plenty of hard, dry bread, which was useful for filling his stomach when he was starving.The same goes for drinking water. There was a jug of cold water, which he refilled and drank in times of thirst.In the middle of his treatment process, as Eadric Rong was checking the herbal ingredients he needed to treat his internal injuries, his eyes fell on four stacks of copies of books that looked brand new.The four books appeared to be neatly bound and covered as if they were very valuable objects.With burning curiosity, Eadric Rong picked up the four books and read the front page. At that moment, his eyes widened, and the expressio

A flurry of activity. Baggage workers from Daqi city port were like ants making their way up the stairs to the first, second, and third floors of the VIP. They were clamoring for customers who needed services for the transportation of passengers' luggage.Of course, the passengers on the ship weren't just travelers. There were many merchants coming from the western regions of Bai Feng Country, who needed the services of baggage handlers to transport their goods off the ship.Eadric Rong jostled his way from the first floor of the ship, mingling with the economy class passengers. His goal was to camouflage himself among the crowd.He was worried that the white sects that had hunted him all the way to the capital had sent their champions or spies to scent his arrival."Keep dressing up like a Daoist Priest, it's not too much trouble for me," Eadric Rong thought as he adjusted his robes."These days there are many wandering Taoists who dress up in the robes of Taoist priests, just like m

However, the high cost of living in the capital, coupled with the responsibility of sending money every month to his poor family in the village, meant that Chen Yu had to live super frugally.As an apprentice who has only been working for three months, Chen Yu always gets customers from the lower class.All the high-profile customers had been gobbled up by his seniors. His job as a salesman was commission-based, which meant he was living on the edge and had very little money.If customers do not tip, and sales bonuses are not achieved because Chen Yu's monthly sales target is not reached.Not to mention, in the past two months, Chen Yu has not managed to book any sales.Almost all the customers of Koi Fortune Hall, those who come are rich people who are immediately welcomed by their senior colleagues.He was not given the freedom to serve the upper class at all. Today, however, he felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to serve a Taoist Priest, as none of his colleagues were will

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
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
