There was silence as Edmon Ouwyang stood in front of the court. He stared at the audience with a face that looked distressed and deeply hurt.Eadric Rong had not yet spoken when Teng Jihun loudly spoke."Edmon Ouwyang, first-year disciple of the Wudang Sect! Are you willing to testify, honestly and without lying?""I do... I do!" hissed Edmon Ouwyang with eyes glaring at the audience and a wounded look. That kid was really good at playing charades."Then testify!" shouted Ferrin Teng in a booming voice. Apparently, Ferrin Teng wanted to make today's trial a memorable lesson for the Wudang Sect disciples.He used Eadric Rong's mistake as a lesson for the sect disciples not to commit rash acts in the future.Edmon Ouwyang, a teenager who was very cunning and good at acting, stood in the center of the room.With a traumatized look on his face, he began to tell the story of the night in the Willow Forest. The whole time Edmon Ouwyang was telling his story, he was very good at making a goo

That night in jail, Eadric Rong sat with a troubled expression. He did not expect that Edmon Ouwyang would slander him and even bribe Leader Liu of Yunshui Chun Village to testify falsely."I will not forget this slander! In the future, I will collect my debt from Edmon Ouwyang!" Eadric Rong's voice sounded haunted as he whispered softly.In front of him was a plate of rice with a piece of steamed bread and cold vegetables for dinner. Although he wasn't from a rich family, looking at the bland food, Eadric Rong had no appetite.Moreover, just this afternoon he was devastated by Edmon Ouwyang and Leader Liu's actions in the courtroom, making all the tasteless food seem like trash in his eyes.It was getting late in the night when the first bugle was sounded by the officer. The sound echoed, spreading across the plateau of Mount Wudang, breaking the silence of the night.Eadric Rong, a young man who still couldn't close his eyes, lay on his thin mattress. His heart was in turmoil, fille

The third bell had just been struck by the night officer, signaling that it was early morning (around 03:00 - 05:00). At that time, the sky was still dark.While touring the disciples' quarters of Wudang Sect's outer courtyard, the gong struck by the night attendant could be heard echoing up the hundred steps leading to Wudang Sect's Peak. The sound of his shout could be faintly heard at the gate of the hundred steps."The Yin Shi period has arrived. Everyone is expected to be vigilant!""Two of the Sect's most dangerous criminals have escaped. If anyone knows of their whereabouts, immediately sound the bells as a distress signal!" The officer shouted while beating the bells and gongs in a regular rhythm.His voice echoed for a moment before finally disappearing, swallowed by the silence of the night.On the first flight of stairs to the top of the sect, Edmon Ouwyang could be seen limping along. He had just finished holding a feast in Tanshan City, hosting Leader Liu, and giving gift

While the Wudang Sect disciples were busy searching for traces of the escaped Eadric Rong, two human figures were seen walking in the middle of the Lonely Forest, a forest filled with Mulberry plants.They seemed to be enjoying the scenery quietly.The taller figure was an old man dressed like a Taoist priest. His robes were shabby and his appearance looked disheveled, but he looked happy while singing.Meanwhile, the other figure with him was a teenager. Although he looked fifteen years old, he was actually only ten years old. They were Priests Zhang Qing Nian and Eadric Rong.The old priest walked leisurely and carefree, while Eadric Rong appeared to be carrying a wooden backpack with a headdress. His appearance made him look like a young Taoist selling prayers and talismans."Mr. Zhang, where are we going after passing through this Mulberry Forest?" asked Eadric Rong.Ever since the two of them left the Wudang Sect, Priest Zhang had never told Eadric Rong about their destination.H

The sun was already shining in the Mulberry Forest, its light entering the forest through the leaves, its hazy rays falling on the old man's face and waking Priest Zhang from his slumber.In front of his eyes was Eadric Rong, who was drenched in sweat. The rays of the morning sun could be seen licking the youngster's body, which seemed to move in slow movements and a certain rhythm, but his movements were full of confidence.Diligently, Eadric Rong continued to repeat the three sword stances he taught with a steady style, even though all the Yellow Dragon Swordsmanship moves were done in slow motion."This kid is really talented!" murmured Priest Zhang. "It was just last night that I fell asleep, and suddenly woke up this morning to see that he had mastered the sword movements and flowed pure air perfectly.Although his purity is still on par with that of the Jade Tiger Swordsman, he is truly a genius!"Priest Zhang's eyes seemed to shine as he watched Eadric Rong perform the three in
