The bloody night left behind clear sword traces—subtle yet deadly thrusting movements, believed to be the hallmark of the Huangtu Sect's sword arts.

Without hesitation, the Wanjian Sect accused the Huangtu Sect of being the mastermind behind the massacre.

For them, the proof lay in the wounds found on their disciples' bodies—the sword moves were too similar to the Huangtu Sect's sword moves.

However, the simmering tension between the two sects has not subsided.

  • The Ouyang Family Connection

    When Eadric Rong was feeling anxious, suddenly Young Master Ouyang spoke softly to him."Brother Ren Jie, why do you bother to rob me? Aren't you my sister's husband?

The Ouyang family's treasurer will immediately issue the funds for your needs," Young Master Ouyang said in a friendly tone.The servant named Xu Yu also added,"Yes, Young Master Ren.

Xu Yu suggested respectfully.On Eadric Rong's side, there was a change in his expression as he pondered the situation that had just unfolded."What? I am the husband of this stupid young master?

He quickly walked away from the street in front of the Twin Dice Auction Hall.After being in a quiet place, Eadric Rong tried to calm his mind, thinking about the next strategy he should take."So, it is clear that the means of payment here is the Energy Stone. Now, I have a new task: to find the energy stone that is the means of payment in this strange world."Throughout the morning, Eadric Rong wandered through the bustling market, knocking on the doors of stalls and shops run by merchants.

I am willing!"However, instea
