The Wager at the Silver Dragon Gate
Silence settled over the Silver Dragon Gate after Guo Jiang crossed it for the second time without suffering even the slightest harm. He stood inside the city wall with one hand extended toward Fenghuang, and though he did not raise his voice, everyone understood what he was demanding.Fenghuang's face had lost its color. Her lips trembled, her fingers tightened around the edge of her sleeve, and her eyes moved from Guo Jiang to the surrounding crowd as if searching for someone willing to speak on her behalf.No one stepped forward. The same people who had mocked Guo Jiang now avoided his gaze, while their attention gathered around Fenghuang with a different kind of excitement.A middle-aged cultivator near the Blue Dragon Gate was the first to break the silence. "The wager was made in front of all of us. You offered your head, and he reduced it to one arm."Another man rubbed his cold hands together and gave a bitter laugh. "You called him a shameless mortal, yet the Silver Dragon Ga
A Mortal Beneath the Silver Gate
Guo Jiang stepped down from the carriage after his voice spread beneath the silver pillars. His plain robe stirred in the mountain wind, and his gaze first fell on Lu Mu's burned shoulder.Fenghuang's spell was low level, more suited to humiliation than killing. Still, to a mortal body, it tore cloth, burned skin, and left enough pain.Lu Mu clenched his teeth and tried to rise. "Young Master, this old servant was careless. Please do not let my mistake delay your matter.""Stay there for now," Guo Jiang said. "It can be treated later, but the matter itself cannot be treated as nothing."He turned back to Fenghuang, and his expression did not show anger. "I asked you a question. Why did you attack a mortal servant so harshly?"Fenghuang was startled for half a breath. She guarded the Silver Dragon Gate, and even wealthy families lowered their heads here.She h
The Silver Dragon Gate
The road toward Kunlun Peak rose between cliffs of black stone and old snow. As the carriage climbed higher, the air grew colder, yet the qi within it flowed thicker through the mountain wind.Lu Mu held the reins with both hands and breathed carefully. He could not cultivate, yet he could feel that this mountain was unlike the roads outside Periphery City.Guo Jiang sat behind the curtain, calmly observing the distant city walls. Kunlun City stood near the upper slopes of Kunlun Peak in the Khar Amitan Mountains.Unlike ordinary cities, Kunlun City did not welcome every traveler with a simple tax and a wooden pass. The five sword sects and the Feilong Order controlled entry together, separating mortals, practitioners, and higher figures with arrays.Lu Mu had heard fragments of those rules from other travelers. He knew there were three Dragon Gates outside the city, yet their names sounded more like
Incense at Shenyuan
Morning settled over Periphery City, and Windstorm Restaurant had returned to its usual order. The servants wiped tables and swept away yesterday's disturbance, yet their careful movements still carried the shadow of Xiang's humiliation and Su Jing's new position.Guo Jiang stood near the front counter with a travel cloak over his plain robe. He looked at Su Jing, who had come early for instructions, and spoke without any airs of authority."Train the staff again," Guo Jiang said. "A guest's clothing, carriage, and accent are not enough to judge his worth. If Windstorm Restaurant repeats the same mistake, changing one manager will mean nothing."Su Jing bowed with both hands cupped, serious rather than flattering. "Young Master, I understand. The restaurant lost face because the staff forgot the most basic rule of service, and I will not allow that habit to remain.""Do not only punish mistakes after
The Token Beneath the Fading Mist
The long night above the eternal ice field was thinning, yet the cold did not soften with it. Pale mist crawled between broken ridges of frost, wrapping the ground like damp silk, while a few late stars hung over the white plain with a distant glow.Mahya stood several steps away from the person who had saved her, her breath unsteady and her fingers still numb from the escape. She tried to steady her inner sight and pierce the dark veil around him, but the moment her spiritual sense approached, it sank into silence as if it had fallen into a bottomless well.Her Spirit of Moon cultivation had allowed her to read hidden traces in the magician world, including breath patterns, spiritual residue, and the shape of an enemy's spell. Before this shadowed figure, all of that knowledge became useless, and even the outline of his face remained blurred within the mist.Mahya's heart tightened with both fear and reverence. A person who could hide his aura so completely from her could not be an o
Surprise, Part II
He was a silhouette clad ominously. In a dark robe flowing, the rustling of his clothes making, a strange movement eerie, strangely the rustling of clothes, made no sound at all silent.Even stranger his face obscured. By a cloud of black smoke constantly, enveloping his body mysteriously, giving him a frightening appearance supernatural, identity was concealed completely through technique."Who are you? Why are you spying on activities. Our secret activities? That's extremely rude intrusive!" Qin Qi rebuked sternly demanding."Who am I? I'm a traveler passing through, and I'm spying on you allegedly?"He questioned back. "Let me ask you back reasoning, isn't this the land of Free, no one is forbidden to be anywhere, in the land of the Free publicly, so your claims that I'm spying, on your activities are baseless accusations!"He continued with accusation. "You're the ones who are shameless, molesting a girl violently, then openly harassing her cruelly!"These were words that Qin Qi.
