The Guest from Logun Continent
Guo Jiang had not waited long before Mahya returned to the main hall. She came alone, and the slight hesitation in her eyes told him that Cardinal Lai Kin would not be joining them.“My teacher sends his apology,” Mahya said. “An urgent matter requires his attention tonight, so he cannot meet you.”“What happened?” Guo Jiang asked. He noticed that several disciples outside the hall were moving with unusual haste.Mahya sat across from him and lowered her voice. “Tomorrow is the annual grand meeting of Kunlun City’s five sword sects and one magus order. The preparations have become more complicated than expected.”She explained that the alliance consisted of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Xuanwu Sect, Hongmen Sect, Qingyu Sect, Tianyuan Sword Sect, and the Feilong Order. For many years, the six organizations had shared influence over Kunlun City, though th
The Holy Maiden at the Gate
Mahya stepped into view beneath the lantern light of the Feilong Order Pavilion. She wore a pink brocade dress beneath a white fox-fur coat, and the mixture of foreign and continental features in her face gave her a noble appearance without making her seem distant.The two guards immediately lowered their heads and cupped their hands. “Holy Maiden Mahya.”Mahya’s gaze moved from them to Guo Jiang. “Who is looking for me, and why was my name being mentioned with such disrespect at the gate?”The first guard hurried to explain. “Holy Maiden, this man claimed to be your friend, but he does not look like a magus or a distinguished guest. We only wished to protect your time because tomorrow’s meeting is important.”Mahya did not answer him. She walked closer to Guo Jiang and looked at him carefully, her manner polite rather than suspicious.
The Silver Flash Over Kunlun Snow
The crowd shouted after Fenghuang as her white figure disappeared down the snowy path. A few cultivators attempted to follow, but her Flying on the Snow movement skill and speed artifact had already carried her beyond their reach.For several breaths, it seemed that she would truly escape. Then a silver light crossed the cold air above the lower slope, so fast that no one saw its source.A terrified scream rose from below. The sound was brief, but many people recognized Fenghuang's voice at once."That was her," the merchant near the Blue Dragon Gate said. "What reached her from this distance?"No one answered, and even the second gate disciple looked frightened. Around twenty people abandoned their places in the Blue Dragon Gate queue and hurried down the slope.Curiosity overcame caution, and several hoped to gain favor with the Feilong Order. They found Fenghuang beyond the se
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
