That same night, Yu Mian hurriedly left the vacation home, Villa Galaxy.

Early on, when she had overheard the conversation between Mao Gang Xin and the three Demon Clan Elders, Yu Mian had immediately sent a notification through the communication talisman to the other three practitioners, with the status 'IMPORTANT!'

After hurriedly leaving the brothel, at a lonely spot on the street of the City of 1000 Dreams, Yu Mian set her foot down, her cotton-like body floating beautifully over two dozen spears, one stroke.

Soon her light body was seen floating, flying with the wind in the city sky. Her body vanished, disappearing like a shadow in the darkness of the night, with the exquisite movements of a master of the Sage realm.

Not until the burning of the old hio had taken place, a dry, rocky hill with desert dust flying in front of one's eyes was seen, making one reluctant to linger in that place. It seemed like the hills were a series of dry lands, connected to the Great Sun Desert.

    Song Hui Yong thought it was the same artifact that their Master Fen had, "This is not just an oddity. Even the name of the Auction Association clearly mentions our master's name.”This must be a clue, or at the very least, our master visited there and left behind that artifact. Perhaps we can ask the owner of the association why he named his company after our master?”Then we'll also ask him where he's been all this time?" Song Hui Yong's face turned a little cloudy. He was at a loss to solve this puzzle."It is said that this auction is organized exclusively. Only renowned Patriarchs and Sect Masters from this part of the Silver Continent are invited to the grand auction. Reportedly, from Mao Gang Xin's story, the owner of the Moon Sword artifact was a Sword Master nicknamed the Gray-robed Refiner.""Hah! That is the nickname given to him. Gray Robe Refiner," Ya Bing Qing shared with the other two men.Later, they engaged in a lively conversation, discussing the origin of the Moon S

    "Wretched!" Mao Gang Xin thought to himself.The patriarch of this demon clan had traveled extensively in the past ten years, crossing from the west to the plains of Tnegha, to the south and east.As a sect under the tutelage of the Silver Continent Sword God, Immortal Nangong Rong, their demon clan was feared everywhere. Even with his cultivation as a Peak Saint, he felt his skills were unrivaled.However, tonight, a little thief, a woman who from the curves of her body he guessed was still young, blocked his White Skull Claw Technique with just two fingers.Mao Gang Xin pumped up the power of his perverted energy. He sprayed out ninety parts of his energy."Kraak!" a loud sound like a sword breaking and cracking was heard.Mao Gang Xin felt his entire hand become numb. Following that, his little scream rang out.Mao Gang Xin couldn't believe it. The thief's pure energy traveled like a domino effect, as it raced into his body, and the Demon Clan Patriarch felt all his bones break and

    The night turned into a faint morning, as the sun had not yet risen.At that time on the roof or ridge of the treasure institute called the Xia Gem Institute, a male figure, who was dressed in another dark outfit, with a body that exuded also a fragrant scent, he wore thick facial makeup... stood deliberately letting his clothes flutter in the wind, causing a sound to arouse suspicion.Soon a 40-year-old man named Xia Yu Yuan, who is the chairman of the chamber of commerce, came out and challenged the man.Xia Yu Yuan is one of the geniuses of the Xia Clan, one of the famous 7-star Clans in the western region. Xia Yu Yuan was known as an arrogant genius and swordmaster of the Xia Clan.He likes to look down on others who have low cultivation or come from unreputable sects.His own cultivation was at the Peak of the Boundless Realm, in a bottleneck state that would soon break through to become a Holy Enlightenment Realm Expert.With a less than pleased tone, Xia Yu Yuan asked the man,

    The spirit ship boarded by the four practitioners of the God-Screening Continent's 'Flying Sword Sect' sped up quickly, flying over the Peach Forest, the border between the Cursed Desert and the Central Plains Region.Meanwhile, there were 20 other spirit boats, which also originated from the Gate City of 1000 Dreams, chasing after the ship with the roaring sound of the engine, the result of burning Stone Energy.The sound was extremely disturbing as twenty boats at once flew fast trying to keep up with the large ship in front of them.Every now and then, there was the sound of people calling out, ordering the boat ahead to stop and wait for the boats to catch up with them.The pursuing practitioners on those boats, however, only reaped anger and grew even angrier in their irritation. They just stared angrily, watching the four people at the stern of the spirit ship, chatting casually, as if they considered the existence of the twenty pursuit boats to be just a common pastime."They'

    Ye Bing Qing and her companions a few days later had entered the endless long pine forest, a sign that they had now entered the Southern region of the Silver Continent.Enjoying the journey, Ye Bing Qing and Yu Mian talked aloud with excitement when they saw from the boat to the left of the forest, there was a hidden lake dotted with Yang Liu trees."Ah, if only we weren't on a mission to find Master Fen, maybe we could sit by the lake enjoying the beautiful nature there," Yu Mian whispered softly.Indeed, the lake, hidden in the middle of the old Pine Forest and Willow Forest, looks completely untouched by human hands.Ye Bing Qing also glanced down and saw such a beautiful lake."I think that this Southern Region of the Continent, is very beautiful. Much more beautiful than the southern regions of our continent," Ye Bing Qing replied dreamily.Song Hui Yong, the dandy, was instantly filled with ideas..."If that's the case, when we arrive in Menhua Country later, why don't the four

    "I was instantly reminded of someone's profession when undercover in the past. Maybe it's time for you to rethink your job as a pimp in this city," said Wei Park mockingly to Song Hui Yong, whose eyes wandered when he saw that there were so many business opportunities and easy ways to make money here."You don't need to remind me of my past dirty work," Song Hui Yong sneered."I also remember when you were my regular customer, staying up all night locked up with those girls until you forgot about your duties as a teacher at the literary academy," Song Hui Yong shot back at Wei Park.Suddenly, the cold-faced student's face turned a deep shade of red. Ye Bing Qing and Yu Mian even laughed at the two and berated them as perverts.The four of them seemed to forget about their work as spies of the Flying Sword Sect, relaxing for a while visiting a special and artful place like a teahouse.There Ye Bing Qing and Yu Mian were personally taught by Song Hui Yong, the best way of serving tea, a

    Today was a good day. There were still two days left until the Great Auction Event organized by the Association named Lord Fen's Association was held.And Menhua Country's King City was already flooded with a sea of people, as well as foreign figures who were likely practitioners from other regions outside of this Silver Continent.The four elders of the Flying Sword Clan, Ye Bing Qing, Wei Park, Song Hui Yong, and Yu Mian conferred in the inn room the night before."Of course, we will need a lot of information before we attend the auction together, right?" Wei Park said. This man was a scholar, so he was often considered a representative of the master's authority. His three companions did not mind this either."Remember our original goal was to find traces of Master's whereabouts. It is important to know what the intentions behind this auction event are, as we clearly know that the Moon Sword Artifact belongs to Master," Wei Park said."If it is true that the artifact is as we have s

    Afterward, Ye Bing Qing no longer paid attention to the two people. She thought that it was only natural that there were many strange people who came to this Menhua City, competing for luck to obtain the opportunity to possess the Moon Sword.Her gaze refocused on the South Country Dome Restaurant. This restaurant was not very large and luxurious. However, she saw that this dining place was very good.The tables and furniture of the restaurant were made of the best selected wood in the south, perhaps pine, Ebony, Tarbantin, whatever it was Ye Bing Qing did not know for sure. But what she knew was that all the furniture was carefully crafted by experienced experts.The floor of the restaurant was made of marble, with ornate pottery or landscape paintings, along with calligraphy inscribed with poems from famous poets in the South. Beautiful flowers also adorned the pottery jars, which were decorated with Peonies, Lily, and Magnolia flowers.Ye Bing Qing took the edge seat, which had a l

    He thought to himself, “I didn't expect that at all. It's been a long time since I've seen this smelly priest. The advancement of Qi Energy and combat techniques has been greatly improved.”Even though he has the same cultivation as me, a level 5 mortal. But there was something strange in every movement and suppression of his Qi energy, he is capable of making me feel oppressed.' But Dai Dong did not want to show his weakness and trepidation."No need to feel proud. Look at the machete attack!"He then pounced on Teng Jianhong with the sound of the machete again squeaking louder than before.If at the beginning of the battle he had only released seventy parts of his Qi energy, now Dai Dong was channeling ninety parts of his mighty Black Crow Qi energy. The wind rushed inside the cramped space. The wooden chairs and tables flew and split apart after Dai Dong unleashed full force.The two experts then pounced on each other, causing a burst of destructive energy and making the plank buil

    Suddenly, footsteps sounded at the door. It was like a 'bedebum' sound that made all the furniture inside the simple stall tremble.These were the actions of a practitioner at the highest level of Mortal rank (perhaps even quasi). The pounding of the feet with each step contained deadly pure air, making everything tremble until he was twenty spears away.Bum - bum - bum!The dirt floor that the mysterious figure stepped on also left deep shoe tread marks, hollowed out in the ground.The whole stall then turned to look at the figure who had just arrived. He was a man wearing a shirt with big sleeves, the color was bright blue. There was an embroidered picture of a thin mist of cucumber with a mountain background at night."Night Mist Sect," hissed the voices of several people who were martial arts practitioners.The man's hair was tied up high in a topknot, neatly pinned up using opaque silver hairpins, almost the same color as his long robe. His hair was so neatly arranged that not a

    Guo Jiang was silent. He didn't usually pay attention to heroic tales or stories like the one the traveling storyteller was humming. He then glanced at the rest of the stall's patrons, all transfixed by the storyteller's humming.'The Sun Sword is hidden in the Ice Chakra's ability. Whoever has it, half the world is at hand. The Moon Sword hides the skill of the Fire Chakra. By possessing the Moon Sword artifact, half the world will kneel in worship.Possessing the Sword of the Sun and the Sword of the Moon, the power of Fire and Ice will make the world bow down and kneel before you. With the Sword of the Sun, all mortal worlds will bow at your feet. With the Sword of the Moon, even the world of the dead will move, hailing you. But the greatest among all is the Star Sword, the ruler of Heaven, Underworld, and Earth.'The room instantly overflowed with excitement. Visitors who had initially only come for food now asked questions."Old storyteller, can you sing that song again?" asked o

    It was noon, and the sun was high overhead, reflecting its glistening rays to create the illusion of pearly grains as its light fell on the snowy expanse of Mount Khar Amitan.Although it was not yet winter, the eternal snow on the mountain's summit remained because Khar Amintan Peak is always cold. It is the coldest area in the northern part of the continent, making anyone shiver from the cold.The child's feet were small, shuffling, sometimes sinking into the mounds of snow, but he tried to persevere, stabilize, and leave the snowy mountain peak. He moved slowly toward the west, hoping to be quickly hidden from the prying eyes of the unfathomable figure from the depths of the earth on Khar Amintan Peak.Even though people didn't have compasses back then, everyone at this time always relied on the sun or the North Star for direction.'The sun is leaning to the west, which means I need to go in the opposite direction to the north, where Bingdao is. Then I'll just go south or west,' th

    Guo Jiang stuffed a piece of bread into his stomach, then drank cold water from the jug in the wooden backpack where he kept it.Every now and then he would pass the dried bread crumbs to a pair of centipedes and they would quickly catch them."We share food. I know this is a very simple dish. But let's eat this breakfast together," with childlike glee, he began to play with the pair of centipedes. There was no amusement, let alone fear of being exposed to the creature's deadly venom.It didn't take long for voices to be heard. The voices of other figures who had just arrived at the ruined slum housing site.Guo Jiang was restless again. Luckily he was not rash, speculated that the danger had left, then climbed the cliff to see the state of his house. Again, he didn't move."The people of the Black Crow Sect have preceded us Night Cucumber Sect. There's nothing left," a voice from above was heard. Then a commotion ensued. Guo Jiang estimated that there were more than twenty people tal

    In that instant, Guo Jiang rushed down the deep ravine behind his house. Although it was a dark night, it didn't make it difficult for him to go down the ravine. The depth of the location that would be his hiding place reached thirty-five feet deep, where there was a secret cave.The cave wasn't big, just enough for Guo Jiang to take cover, invisible from above when anyone tried to peer into the abyss.In the corner, there was a pair of sizable centipedes, huddled silently, sharing in the tension the boy was experiencing.On ordinary days, Guo Jiang would often chat with the two centipedes while playing around in the cave, and it felt like they had grown close. As a result of their closeness, the centipedes didn't put up a fight when Guo Jiang entered the cave, their nest.Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead when the boy hurriedly jumped into the cave. Lucky for him, not more than two blinks of an eye later, the abyss was suddenly illuminated with torchlight. And Guo Jiang heard

    Without hesitation, Guo Jiang replied, "I just heard they were betting to see who could pick up the clue or map. However, I myself don't know what they really mean by that." Guo Jiang explained.The man in white nodded and then pondered for a moment. A moment later, he asked again."Young man... If I ask you to be my disciple, are you willing?" the man in white said once again.Guo Jiang was very surprised. A day before, he would have rejected an offer like this without a second thought. But now, everything changed.In one night, all of Guo Jiang's views on martial arts training and his belief that violence and evil originated with martial arts experts were shattered. He realized that strength is what rules in this world. Experience was the best teacher in his life.Guo Jiang recognized reality. From birth to the present, he had been confined to The Abyss' exile, his knowledge was extremely limited, but now his eyes were open.People of great power had oppressed his family and even to

    The Abyss - the dumping ground of the Bingdao Sect.Guo Jiang was surprised by the question that came so suddenly. A sense of anxiety immediately washed over him. He couldn't forget the experience with the previous four people. They might have seemed classy, but the cruelty of their actions had carved deep memories.He recalled his mother's words echoing in his mind, "They are all evil. People who are proficient in martial arts often have dark hearts. In the future, you should be careful if you meet highly skilled martial arts practitioners like them."Despite his young age, Guo Jiang had a sharp mind. His mind worked quickly, and he realized that the white-clothed man standing in front of him had skills that far surpassed those of his previous attackers.He also noted how the attackers immediately left the place when they heard this man's whistling.In an instant, Guo Jiang formulated a plan. He would play a role and create a story to protect himself. He knew that appearances could b

    Bai She broke the silence and began to speak, "It seems that our strength is balanced. We are all high-level Earth Practitioners. There is no point in fighting between us, it will only result in pointless deaths. I have an interesting idea, whether Xue Yun agrees or not."Xue Yun frowned but was still willing to listen, despite feeling bad."Please speak up," she said.Bai She's expression turned more relaxed, and he said, "Tell you what, since the purpose of all of us coming is to obtain the location map of the Moon Sword. Although we don't know exactly what the map looks like yet, why don't we hold a race? A race to find any object that is believed to be a clue to the whereabouts of the Moon Sword."Xue Yun smiled sarcastically, "What race are you referring to, snake-born creature?"Bai She chuckled at Xue Yun's vigilance and replied slyly, "Of course it's nothing, Lady Peng. Given that you only have one body, why don't we race to grab any objects that are believed to be clues to th
