Two Fingers Against a Foreign Sword
Ya Yi kept one armored hand on the table and looked down at the young man by the window.“You have heard me,” he said. “Leave before I finish counting to three.”The young man placed his chopsticks beside the bowl. His expression remained calm.“I paid for this seat,” he said. “Why should I surrender it before finishing my meal?”An Gui leaned closer to Ya Yi and lowered his voice just enough for the nearby diners to hear. “These locals need reminders. Logun officers should never wait behind weak men.”Ya Yi’s pride swelled under the attention of the room. Calm resistance before witnesses made retreat impossible in his mind.“You ask why?” Ya Yi pulled a dagger from his belt and drove it into the table. The blade sank halfway through the wood. “Because my rank is the answer.&r
Fear Inside Spring Restaurant
Spring Restaurant reached its busiest hour before noon ended.Cooks shouted orders across the kitchen while iron woks hissed over high flames. Roasted meat, spicy southern noodles, herbal broth, river fish, and strong wine moved from the stoves to crowded tables without pause.The first floor served merchants, travelers, caravan guards, and ordinary cultivators. Its wooden tables stood close together, and conversation mixed with bowls, cups, and footsteps.The second floor offered finer tableware, private screens, musicians, and broad windows overlooking the streets of Southern City. Wealthy customers paid heavily for those seats, especially the tables beside the best windows.At one such table sat a young man in simple clothing.He ate slowly, tasting each dish rather than consuming it for energy. His posture looked relaxed, and nothing about him announced high status or martial power.The guzheng musician nearby maintained a gentle melody.Then two men entered the restaurant.Ya Yi
The Dark Age of the Western Lands
The occupation deepened after the Logun Sages departed.Permanent checkpoints appeared along western and southern roads. Foreign officers inspected merchants, travelers, cultivators, and even local officials before allowing them to pass.Energy stones were seized as military contributions. Medicinal herbs, spirit-beast materials, metals, food, and transport animals disappeared into Logun warehouses.The occupation authorities called these collections taxes.The people called them extortion.At one checkpoint outside Southern City, a small merchant arrived with three carts of dried herbs. He had spent half a year gathering them from mountain villages and intended to sell them to local healers.A young Logun officer examined the goods and claimed two carts for military use.“That leaves nothing after transport costs,” the mercha
Warships Above Yin Continent
Hundreds of spirit ships appeared above the western lands of Yin Continent.They did not arrive like merchants seeking a port or envoys requesting an audience. The vessels crossed mountains, cities, and sect territories in disciplined formations, their armored hulls casting long shadows over the ground.Foreign banners hung from every mast. Soldiers stood across the decks in complete armor, arranged by rank and weapon type. Command seals flashed between ships, keeping the fleet aligned even as the wind changed.People below stopped whatever they were doing.At first, citizens argued over the meaning of the arrival.“Perhaps they are merchants from another continent.”“Merchants do not travel with siege crossbows.”“Could they be envoys?”“Envoys request permission before cross
The Sword That Hid Its Moonlight
Guo Jiang stood before the open stone chamber for several breaths before entering. He had already buried Ye Bing Qing, completed the rites owed to a senior, and accepted the burden contained in her final message. Only then did he cross the threshold.The chamber was smaller than he expected. There were no mountains of treasure, no rows of glittering artifacts, and no jeweled pedestals designed to overwhelm the eye. The place held only what mattered.At the center rested Pedang Yueliang.The sword lay upon an ancient blackwood stand. Its blade was formed from dark iron, its guard was plain, and its hilt carried no gemstones or decorative carvings. No blinding radiance surrounded it. No pressure shook the walls.Guo Jiang stared at it for a long moment.“This is the sword that made experts from Wonderland cross worlds?”At first glance, it looked less impressive than many Gold or Diamond-grade weapons displayed by wealthy sects. Yet the longer he observed it, the more clearly he sensed
The Legacy of Ye Bing Qing
Guo Jiang approached the sealed coffin slowly.The marble message above it had been carved with lines so smooth that they resembled writing made by a brush. Yet no ink marked the stone, and every character had been cut directly into the hard surface.Guo Jiang studied the depth of the strokes.“Carved with a finger,” he murmured.Only someone with extraordinary cultivation could leave such controlled writing on natural marble without cracking the entire slab.He did not touch the coffin.The Centaurs, Sirens, and Talos had all treated this place as part of an ancestral covenant. Recklessness before the resting place of an elder would reveal that he valued treasure more than legitimacy.Guo Jiang knelt.“Junior Guo Jiang pays respect to the senior who guarded this inheritance.”
