That night, the sky was clear. There were no clouds, only starlight and moonlight shining down on the golden city of King Pegasus, accompanied by a gentle breeze.

Night officers were seen walking around, ringing bells while shouting words...

"Now is Hay-Sie's time. Be careful with the fire because it's summer. Check the fire in your kitchen to make sure it's out. Check all the doors of the house; make sure they are locked. Avoid people with bad intentions at night; the Flower-Picking Villain is on the loose, kidnapping girls!"

Knock-knock!

And so on, repeatedly, every time the itinerant officer knocked on the wooden bag in his hand, giving a warning to the citizens of Capital Golden Pegasus.

(Hay Sie is the time between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, while Jai - Hua - Chat means flower-picking criminal; it is a male criminal who likes to seduce and defile girls or other women).

The itinerant officer, the nightly bugler, walked to the end of the city in a densely populated section of the middle

    After a brief moment, Guo Jiang chased after the butterfly talisman, which now stopped at a large building outside the city that looked like a temple of a certain religious cult shrine.As the talisman swirled around in the front yard of the shrine, it seemed to be blocked by some kind of array or formation that was also made with magic.Guo Jiang carefully read the signboard written on the gate of the temple: White Lotus Worship Temple. That's the name of the temple that laid down arrays and magic formations, now blocking the butterfly talisman from breaking through."Pakktulo!"Hissing, Guo Jiang began to cast spells in an ancient language. He countered using magic power with words, forcing the butterfly talisman to break through the array.Wush!A sound similar to dry leaves burning was instantly heard as the butterfly talisman forced its way through the array. Guo Jiang stared silently as the butterfly talisman burned to dust.'This is a complicated array, custom-made by a Master

    Guo Jiang now stood facing Alchemist Ye Xiu.After standing a short distance of about a spear away from the alchemist, Guo Jiang took a good look. Although Alchemist Ye Xiu had the white hair of an old man, his face appeared smooth with supple skin, resembling that of a man in his early thirties.'All of this must be due to the influence of drugs and miraculous ingredients that he processes into some sort of youth pills. I have to admit that with such a technique for maintaining youth, this Alchemist Ye Xiu must be very in demand if he sells his processed pills and potions to women,' Guo Jiang thought.Alchemist Ye Xiu is renowned as an expert in skin preservation techniques, and his products are sought after by women in the City of the Golden Pegasus King.He was always in demand by women from the nobility and even from the imperial side, where all his processed products were sold at very high prices by the Noble Guild Trade Institute. So, regarding financial matters, it was never an

    "I value your talisman at 100 medium-rank Blue Manna Crystals," the alchemist concluded.Guo Jiang frowned briefly. The main ingredient for making this tracking Butterfly Talisman required the wings of a Golden Butterfly, a rare breed of animal that resided in the Northwestern Spruce Forest.According to his mentor, the gray-robed refiner, these golden butterflies were extremely rare. To lure a butterfly out of its nest required at least a Master of Spirit expert whose cultivation level was at the Spirit of Sky realm.Guo Jiang was very lucky back then. The Refiner used the remnants of his magic power so that he was able to lure out tons of golden butterflies from their nests in the Fir Forest.Guo Jiang harvested a large number of the rare butterfly's wings, which he then used to make a tracking Butterfly Talisman.Now, when the Noble Guild Institute intended to buy talismans at a low price, Guo Jiang laughed and then looked deeply at the Alchemist."Aren't you bidding too low for th

    According to his mentor, the gray-robed refiner, the Sword Curse Talisman he was about to create had such a powerful and deadly effect that even a martial arts expert at the Atmosphere Rank would be helpless when attacked with it.The sun began to shine when Guo Jiang finally finished the last talisman. He was completely exhausted; all his energy had been drained by the 20 Death Talismans, but he was extremely satisfied to see that deadly creation.Guo Jiang fell asleep as he tried to meditate to restore all his strength.The first bugle had just been sounded by the night watchman when Guo Jiang finally woke up.'My body feels refreshed; all the magic energy is now restored as before. It's time to take a walk in the capital to find food,' Guo Jiang thought.The King's City of the Golden Pegasus looks beautiful at night, with the lights shining, making the city even more stunning under the night moon.Guo Jiang decided to enjoy the culinary specialties of the Land of the Golden Pegasus

    The Eastern Whispering Forest is a forest of willow trees located to the east of Golden Pegasus's Capital. Besides being haunted, it is said that the Eastern Whispering Forest is filled with wild and ferocious creatures.Even mercenaries and hunters dare not enter this haunted forest. Some say that there are quite a few Dark Beast-like creatures roaming there.That afternoon, the sky was violet in color, and the sun was leaning towards the west. Soon, night would fall. At that moment, a shadowy figure of a woman flashed quickly like a swallow.Fearlessly, even though the sky was getting darker and it would probably rain soon, the girl's shadow broke through and entered the depths of the Whispering Forest.Things calmed down after the girl's shadow disappeared into the shadows of the willow tree.But again, the tranquility of the forest was disturbed when another shadow followed, no less than one incense stick burning. She darted into the depths of the forest no less swiftly than the f

    'Even the slightest rival in the future, it is better to be killed first before tomorrow transforms into a horrible creature that is difficult to tame,' the Flower-Picking Demon thought spitefully. He intended to kill the girl after enjoying her warm body.Duan Meirong was extremely surprised. The fierce attack of the Flying Fox Palm that the flower-picking demon used sounded roaring, similar to the sound of a hurricane. Not to mention the pure air felt; it was extremely oppressive and made the girl's chest feel tight."You are an earth rank practitioner. There are not many experts this strong in the land of Golden Pegasus. Tell me who you really are!" Duan Meirong berated the flower-picking demon, while her hands were busy scraping the sword, making stabs in response to the terrifying Flying Fox Palm attack.He said his feet on the grass, his body floating quickly in a light skill technique, seeming to fly like a shadow welcoming the coming palm strike, intending to make an impact.D

    "Look at the palm strike!" snapped the Flower-Picking Demon.His elongated hands filled with Qi energy; he exerted his strength by 70%. The flower-picking demon wanted to take Wei Yaozu's life in one fell swoop. The long hand stabbed hard towards Wei Yaozu's chest, which was more than 5 spears away.A squeaking sound like the cry of a fierce sword followed the thrust of the palm that used the Flying Fox Tread technique.The last way, Wei Yaozu did not dare to look down. He also focused his spirit and channeled all the poison cultivation-based energy now full in his two hands wearing black centipede gloves.Black smoke rolled up so dark, like the blackness of the night, as it dashed against the tread of the flying fox with the intention of poisoning it."Sneaky!" the Flower-Picking Demon snapped when he felt the deadly poisonous energy intending to wrap around his two palms.The Flower-Picking Demon did not lose his mind. Two soft hands like fox mane fur were pulled out quickly, and hi

    At that time, the wind propelled by Guo Jiang's Wind Chakra blew quickly, lifting him high into the sky, as high as 60 feet. From that height, he prepared the Snow Lotus Semi-Pure Sword attack.Then, quickly, Guo Jiang's body was again controlled by the wind and slammed swiftly to the ground, also using the wind chakra to lock onto the flower-picking demon.With his head down and feet up, his hand stabbed out in a swift motion, and an Ice Lotus Flower formed at the tip of the sword.Suiittt...The sound of the sword whistling and the ice lotus flower made a sound like cracking ice, which was heart-wrenching.'W-what's going on...' the flower-picking demon felt uneasy.Feeling as if he was threatened by the aura of the sword attack, the Flower-Picking Demon looked up. His face instantly turned horrified as he stared at the sword with the huge Snow Lotus Flower, seemingly falling freely and ready to slash his head.Klotok - klotok - klotok! The sound of the snow lotus was oppressive."N

    Jiayi looked uneasy. She didn't want the two White Stream Sect Leader geniuses to kill each other."Cool brother Jiang, can't you break up those two youngsters?Your cultivation is much higher than Jiayi's.It would be much easier if one is from the same cultivation realm, compared to my low cultivation self, to separate those two youngsters who seem to be going crazy," Jiayi said with an expectant look at Guo Jiang.Guo Jiang thought for a moment. He considered the risk if he showed his snow lotus technique. He looked for an excuse to refuse."Then what answer should I give to that Yin Fu He? On the other hand, we both also watched him practicing with their Peach Moon Sect's secret techniques," Guo Jiang asked back.Jiayi was a resourceful teenager. With just a quick thought, she had come up with the right answer, just in case Yin Fu He turned his anger on the two of them."About that, brother Guo Jiang doesn't need to worry. I have thought of the right answer to silence Yin Fu He. F

  • Fifteen Steps, Endless Blades.

    The sword in Yin Fu He's hand was getting closer to Zhao Hua's back when it glowed in rainbow colors. Beautiful but dangerous.Jiayi was wide-eyed at the sight. Her heart was upset that there wasn't the slightest defense from Zhao Hua, who still seemed indifferent."You stupid dandy, he thinks the Rainbow Sword Technique is only a low-grade technique," Jiayi tensed up in fascination at the beauty of the Rainbow Sword.Suddenly, unexpectedly, Zhao Hua turned around quickly. His face broke into a faint smile, a look of disdain on his face. He wasn't stupid enough to just let the sword in Yin Fu He's hand split him in half.With a cold snort, his hand quickly brought out the sword that had been ready to come out of its sheath, too fast for the naked eye to follow.In a swift motion, still in a hovering state, Zhao Hua returned the sword strokes, now his demeanor changed from clumsy to serious and authoritative looking. His voice chanting the sword incantation was loud enough to raise the

    Jiayi was just about to jump out from behind the snow mountain and apologize to Yin Fu He, but her movement was stopped. Guo Jiang gripped the girl's adoration tightly, so tightly that she wanted to scream in pain.Her eyes bulged like they were going to pop out of their sockets, but her heart calmed down at the sight of Brother Guo Jiang's shady eyes."Hold back, sister Jiayi.We should not act rashly. The matter of peeping at people practicing their stash techniques is embarrassing.We should wait a little longer and see what happens. My guess is that Yin Fu He is too prejudiced. How could he possibly detect the two of us who are quietly safe due to the status of this protective Talisman?" said Guo Jiang, stepping cautiously with distrust of that Yin Fu He.There was silence, but the sea breeze carrying vapor and ice grains sounded rough.Five winks passed, and Yin Fu He seemed to lose his patience. Sword sounds rang out as the youngster of the Crescent Moon Sect drew a sword. His f

  • Arena of Shattered Ice.

    Because he held a VIP invitation that was a special invitation for the Thirteen Immortal World Rulers Sect Master, Huang Guowei was given a place to stay, a large pavilion that could accommodate more than 20 people.The Ice Island's master had apparently made professional preparations by setting up so many makeshift buildings as lodgings for so many sects, that is, outside of World Lord Martial arts world's thirteen largest sects.They passed through a large arena where the floor looked like a mirror; it was the original floor of ice crystals that were decades old—never melted a speck.There were tons of circular seating seats around the stage of the ice-crystal-floored arena.Huang Guowei glanced indifferently then whispered to Guo Jiang and Jiayi."It looks like the host intentionally made a combat arena, it's the most dangerous arena I've ever seen.The floor of this ice crystal is very slippery, so the best balance and Qinggong techniques will be helpful in case you join the fight

    Even from afar, the scent of jasmine mixed with lavender wafted up to their ocean-going ship.Jiayi laughed lightly at the dandy figure."That 15-year-old youngster is named Zhao Hua. He's the only son of the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan in the Ancient City of the Northwest Slope of this continent.At this young age, Zhao Hua had broken through to become a level 3 Earth Rank Practitioner. He mastered the 15 Steps of Death Sword Technique, a deadly sword technique of the Zhao Clan.Rumor had it that if someone in the Clan inherited the 15 Death Sword Movement Technique, then that person would become the next Patriarch of the Zhao Clan."Guo Jiang chuckled after hearing all of Jiayi's explanation. Indeed, in his recent journey, he felt that with his ability to break through to become a level 3 Earth Practitioner, it was extremely extraordinary. He was counted as a genius and a rare existence in the Martial arts world.But that sense of pride instantly melted away, drowning in the cold sea

  • Peach Moon and Lightning.

    In the Northern Region of the Silver Screen Continent, the snow season seemed to never end throughout the year. Even if spring or summer came around, it wasn't too long before the flower season and summer would move quickly, welcoming the arrival of fall as the start of the long snow season.Today was a beautiful day, when the sky was clear and bright, free of gray clouds. Nonetheless, here in the North Sea, the surface of the sea was pure white with thin ice glistening in the sun, making the three medium-sized ships sailing across the sea look like huge whales swimming on a silver mirror.Guo Jiang and Jiayi stood on the bridge of their Ocean Crossing ship, looking at the ice crystals that lay glittering on the seawater, looking like a glass tapestry.On the starboard side of their ships, within a safe distance was each ship on the starboard side with a large pennant; it depicted half a peach blossom, side by side with an embroidered silver crescent moon, with two other swords crosse

    Guo Jiang said, "Give this pill to your leader. I suggest that he rest for no less than one month on a bed and not force himself to do any strenuous activities.If he violates the terms of treatment I have described, don't blame me if your leader young master will lose all his cultivation. If he doesn't take a complete rest within 1 month, his dantian will be damaged by the cold of the Snow Lotus, and then he will become a cripple."Ren's words were casual and unremarkable. But in the ears of the group of pirates who were also busy tending to their severely injured young master, the real threat of space sounded like a thunderclap in broad daylight.The dozens of people then knelt down to worship Guo Jiang while expressing their gratitude and promised not to violate the treatment rules required by the young man and would also pay close attention to who was worth reading and which groups they could not touch.There was no need to wait too long after Ren Huang pardoned the pirate leader'

  • One Strike, Endless Frost.

    Guo Jiang swung the Silent Shadow Sword; he performed a poking motion that contained a deadly cold force, the magnitude of which was as heavy as 1900 jin. It was even one fierce pure air power that was higher than the pirate man's combat energy.Wush!Qian Chang swung back, intent on blocking Guo Jiang's sword strike. In his view, his sect's Water Snake Sword Art had a defense ability that was as solid as a summer fortress. But suddenly Qian Chang's chest was tight in a freeze.All eyes now looked with pity at the young pirate leader.The young man who claimed to be Roque Kultivator swore with a strange technical chant that made the air instantly condense into crystals and time seemed to slow down."Ice Island Cold Energy!" a horrified hiss sounded from the mouths of the pirate members.The youngster was now so fast that his movements were barely caught by the eye. Everyone was surprised to see Guo Jiang flying across the long distance between ships, his wings flapping beautifully.It

    Qian Chang was a genius of the Water Snake Sect, which was one of the ten sects of the pirate group that ruled the waters of the North Sea. Out of the ten pirate sects in the North Sea, the Water Snake Sect was the most dominant, as it had many members who were mostly early to mid-level Earth ranked lake river cultivators.Qian Chang was the nephew of Pirate Sect Master Qian Lau. Pirate Qian Lau loved his nephew Qian Chang very much, considering that he had been nurtured by Qian Lau since childhood, so the old Pirate had considered Qian Chang as his own biological son.Growing up in a harsh environment full of lake river criminals, and being hailed from an early age as the young master to replace the old pirate Qian Lau, made Qian Chang grow up to be a proud young man who never knew the meaning of hardship.Indeed, since he was a child, the boy had always been pampered and had never known the meaning of defeat in his life; that was because all members of the Water Snake Sect respected
