Choosing priorities
Murong Wuque ran outside the moment the alarm went off, including Zhang Yue and other inner court disciples holding important posts. Murong Wuque met with a batch of guards who were running around, trying to secure the inner court. “What happened? What's going on? Where did the alarm come from?” “First brother.” They bowed before him and quickly bowed their heads respectfully before him. “The vault has been robbed and the guards were shot with an unknown substance.” “What?” Murong Wuque muttered in horror, and his head felt light. Just then Yang Yang, Chu Feng, and Su Ying arrived. The rest were either cultivating or among the batch who escorted Su Mei to take Sima Yan home. “First brother? What's wrong? I rushed to call you when the alarm went off, but…” “I went to check up on Qin Li…” Chu Feng looked around but Qin Li was nowhere to be found. “How is he? Has Senior Qin Li recovered?” Su Ying asked, crackling her purple lightning whip in readiness to fight. “Brothe
Blocked
Alvin was weary to the bones by the time he finished fighting the little goblin-like creatures that looked more like ghosts. “You need to get moving. There's no time, you wasted lots of time fighting. Here are specialized treasure sealing boxes, I will only tick the ones we should take and you grab and seal them. That should be faster, instead of you scanning everything on your own.” Alvin sighed and staggered up to his feet. “With which criteria are you selecting them? How are you choosing the ones to be ticked?” “The ones with the highest utility. It's useless taking a treasure that will rot away on earth or sit pretty in your storage ring, catching dust. You have to take those that will come in handy one day; herbs, formulas, formation discs, protection and aura gathering treasures to aid in cultivation since earth's energy is sparse.” Alvin nodded in approval. “In addition, add extremely rare metals that could be used in crafting battle armor or weapons. If there's enoug
SENIOR QIN HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED
The moment Murong Wuque landed in Qin Li's courtyard, his head disciple who was doing night sword practice in the middle of the yard immediately rushed to him. “You seem to have learnt your godfather's night owl habit. Now you also practice at night instead of sleeping.” The young man smiled shyly and scratched his head. “It's not every time. I just feel restless tonight for no reason. I couldn't focus on energy gathering nor could I sleep. So I decided to come out and practice my sword skills.” Murong Wuque smiled and nodded in approval. “Show me what you learnt. Although I'm not a sword saint like your godfather, I might still have some knowledge to share.” “Surely, you jest. You're Senior Murong Wuque after all. Receiving pointers from you is the greatest honor for anyone. My master is amazing, but you're equally awesome. Both of you are people I look up to. Your ice frost moon song sword technique still hasn't found a worthy rival.” “Qin Li's Sun sword severing the dark
An intelligent THIEF
He let out a sigh of relief the moment he crossed the last barrier and finally unlocked the vault. The smile on his face disappeared and he quickly squatted down. Five arrows flew over his head. But luckily, it didn't catch any of the guards. “What are you doing? Quickly get in and lock the doors. The arrow mechanism is connected to the door. Do you want to kill someone by mistake?” Alvin quickly rolled inside and shut the door. The arrows immediately stopped and he heaved a sigh of relief. “Quick, quick hurry up. It's almost time for the second shift. You have a little over forty minutes to leave here and take cover. Once the next batch discovers the dummy guards. You're done for. Even I won't be able to save you.” “Assess, assess…” Alvin muttered breathless. “Assess what?” “Damn! Assess the layout of the vault so I get moving.” “That would be quite difficult. There are restrictions placed in the room. It will take some time. So to cut down on time, I will give you method
A THIEF IN UNEXPECTED PLACES
Alvin looked at the twin dragon dagger he found in the medicine sage valley’s ancestral hall. Surprisingly their ancestral hall wasn't locked. It was left wide open. I mean, no one expected someone crazy enough to steal ancestral relics to creep in. The hall was filled with weapons and statues of past huge contributors of the sect. And each had an altar before the statues containing an urn with that particular ancestor's ashes, incense, fruits, and their companion spirit weapons. It was left open because students normally go to worship the ancestors’ spirits, burn incese and sweep the halls. Since the hall was established, no one had dared to think about theft, especially as there was a slaughter formation that kills people with bad intent who enter the hall. Who would have expected a smart thief with an amazing system to creep in? Indeed, it was the rat at home that told the one outside that there was meat in the pot. It was during the casual discussions while they were resting in
BACK IN MEDICINE SAGE VALLEY
“Are you sure you want to make the transaction?” The system asked for the final time. “Of course, deduct the points.” “One thousand system point deducted for the transaction.”“Congratulations. You have gained the shadow skill, invisibility, you can go ahead and practice them.”Alvin was currently in the back mountain forests close to the medicine sage valley. He had snuck out of Heavenly Sword sect earlier in the evening during the first shift. Now he was waiting for the Medicine sage valley's dinner time so that he could sneak in, one of the advantages of inside information. He quickly sat cross legged and began to cultivate. ******Medicine sage valleyMurong Wuque was turning around on his bed, he didn't even cultivate much after eating dinner his servants brought him. He kept thinking about what Qin Li said, the words dancing in his head no matter how hard he tried to erase them. He sat up and gasped in exasperation at the words that seemed to be on repeat in his mind. “You
PUNISHMENT WELL DESERVED
Shi Tong suddenly spoke, surprising everyone. “I was the one who heard the sound, making me go closer. And then there was a man's voice. That's what made me conclude that it must be an assassin.”Even Shi Wei was surprised that he was willing to step up and accept responsibility. Wasn't he the one with a dog's conscience who only cares about himself? Why did he suddenly step up? But Shi Tong's reason was simple. He was at a stage where he needed others to have faith in him and lean toward him, he couldn't afford to act like a coward. Shi Wei looked at him, his eyes not betraying any emotions. He looked like always, a dead soul with an empty gaze. “And when you realized you were mistaken, why didn't you apologize and leave immediately? Why let it escalate to this point?” The question stomped him, he couldn't answer. Telling the truth was impossible. “It can't be what it looks like now, could it? You went to peep at your sworn sister's body, and even brought along a group to humil
SHOCKED SPEECHLESS
The voice of the intruder distracted everyone and they turned to the door to see the familiar face. “You, why are you coming from there?” Shi Tong shouted, pointing at the man who just entered, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Shi Wei frowned slightly, and furrowed his brows. “If I don't come from the door, where should I come from then? Where were you expecting me to come from?” Shi Wei answered coldly and turned to Shi Yue. He gasped in horror and quickly pulled off his cloak, draping it over her shoulders. Shi Yue was already crying, and her hand wielding the sword still steadily pointed at Shi Tong. “What in hell is going on here?” Shi Wei barked, taking note of the damages in Shi Yue’s inner room. Shi Yue made a beeline for Shi Tong again, slashing ruthlessly. “Little sister, calm down.” Shi Wei said hurriedly, trying to hold her arm. “Don't tell me to calm down.” She roared, pointing at his neck. He raised his hand in surrender, quickly taking a few steps back. “
not as expected
Shi Tong rushed into the room, his sword drawn. He had heard the source of the sound, and knew exactly where to search, with six other disciples who are members of his patrol team in tow. He rushed straight to the inner room, while two others stayed back and searched the reception rooms, guest room and her main bedroom, four came with him. He rushed to the inner room, and Shi Yue immediately screamed on top of her voice, making everyone freeze for a second. Those that were not already there ran after Shi Tong, triggered by her loud scream. “Senior brother, what hap…” His words trailed of as he saw the situation. Shi Yue's hair and body was dripping wet, showing she just got out of the bath tub. Her comb was in her hand, her eyes wide with shock and horror, half frozen in the motion of combing her hair. Shi Yue screamed at the top of her voice and the comb fell from her hand. She grabbed her sword and immediately made a slash towards Shi Tong's neck. “You scoundrel! How dare
