Swordbound Chronicles Flower-Picking Villains – Part I.
"Who are you?" asked Wei Yaozu haughtily. He frowned, trying to guess who this brave girl was.His face was flushed, looking unsightly, as this was the first time someone had dared to defy him. Only a handful of people in the Golden Pegasus Empire dared to act rashly in his presence.'Is this girl among the few who dare to act rashly in front of me?' Wei Yaozu thought to himself.Meanwhile, the girl who had interrupted Wei Yaozu's arrogant behavior now stepped forward, seemingly unafraid of the young man's intimidation.The girl had her hand ready, holding tightly to the sword that was still in its sheath. She was prepared to draw the sword at the first opportunity if Wei Yaozu made a move."What a brave girl...""Who is that girl?""Doesn't she know that this Wei Yaozu is the esteemed young master of the Lin family and the favorite disciple of Master Kachi of the 5 Poisons Sect?""Shut up. That brave girl is an inner court disciple of the Shadow Sword Sect. Her name is Duan Meirong,
Swordbound Chronicles Flower-Picking Villains – Part II.
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
Swordbound Chronicles Noble Fellowship.
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
Swordbound Chronicles Alchemist Ye Xiu – Part I.
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
Swordbound Chronicles 20 Death Badges.
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
Swordbound Chronicles Long Night in the Whispering Forest - Part I.
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

The Wind Rider – Part II.
Padre He Ping had been in a bad mood ever since. And when the Leopard Expedition leader said that these four coffins were specially intended for their White Lotus Temple, he waved his hand.Wush!A loud and powerful wind blew toward the row of coffins, like a fusion reaction.The wind punch floated out with a deadly attacking air, and instantly, the four coffin covers split apart, breaking into two.Padre He Ping's face instantly froze. He knew in his heart the four figures that were now lying stiff.They were Padre Mu, a practitioner in the fourth-level Earth Realm; Padre Gao Jing, in the third-level Earth Realm; Padre Ye Ying, a third-level Earth practitioner; and finally, Padre Yan Cheng, a practitioner in the second-level Earth rank.These four people had been sent by Padre He Ping to eliminate a young man named Guo Jiang, who had unmasked the benevolent Padre as the Flower-Picking Villain.He gritted his teeth loudly, inwardly vowing that he would go find the young man and finish
The Wind Rider.
The White Lotus Temple had closed its gates since dusk. This had been the custom for a long time when the shrine was opened to the public and served the devotees who came to worship in the Golden Pegasus Empire.Just as a child laborer, the future Padre of the temple, was about to close the temple gate, suddenly there was the clatter of horses' hooves in the distance. Even though it was fall, puffs of dust were kicked up.The boy named Afiu, dressed in a rough tunic of an unattractive gray color that the Padres wore to appear humble, stared in surprise as he heard the hoofbeats and shouts in the distance."What happened?" Afiu asked, confused.His friend Aheng, who was in the middle of sweeping the yard full of fallen leaves, also ran over to Afiu."Hold on a minute, little Padre! Don't close the gate of the White Lotus Temple just yet," a voice shouted from a distance, indicating that the person had high Qi power.Spontaneously, Afiu, who was about to lock the gate of the White Lotus
Afternoon in the Osmanthus Forest – Part II.
Still in silence, the four figures waited until about the time of the burning charcoal before taking action. The white smoke blown into the room was a weakening poison similar to a tranquilizer that could make anyone feel weak, asleep, and unable to control their Qi energy.After they had waited long enough, the four figures carefully opened the door to the room, now smiling at each other in satisfaction as they saw the targeted young man fast asleep, not realizing in the slightest that he was in danger."Take him! We'll kill him in the forest where Padre Virtue breathed his last. It won't take too long for one of the four shadows to carry the unconscious young man.Armed with the cultivation of the four people, all of whom were at Earth Practitioner Level 3 to 5, they jumped straight up and disappeared after moving several times across the roofs of other houses.The night passed quietly, and even the nighttime animals did not make any noise; it seemed that the Middle was also hiding
Afternoon in the Osmanthus Forest – Part I.
The afternoon sun was sinking into the western horizon, the yellowish-leaved trees, once lush, were now shedding their leaves with the fall season. The tips of the leafless branches, tapering toward the sky, almost blended with the color of the western horizon. It was brownish, a blend of apricot color and the color of old wheat.The wind blew softly, touching Guo Jiang's cheek, bringing a sense of familiarity, of homesickness.There was a young man who stood firmly, with a steady stance, majestically visible among the piles of dried leaves, some yellow and some brown.Sometimes the wind blew his hair, some of which fell over his cheeks, making him look even more mysterious.Suddenly, a strange and foreign-sounding language broke the silence as the young man shouted, "Vindangreb!"Unexpectedly, a powerful, tempest-like attack wind emerged from the void. It quickly formed hundreds of invisible swords, moving swiftly through the air, now slicing and tearing through a pile of dry leaves
Master Spirit of Moon – Part II.
Mr. Zhao Long's face immediately brightened. He felt proud when Guo Jiang mentioned that this painting must have been bought at a high price.He couldn't hide his pride in affording this expensive painting."Ah, young man, there's no need to ask about how expensive I bought the painting. But if I mention how much I exchanged, you would be very surprised," said Mr. Zhao Long, trying to be modest. Meanwhile, Guo Jiang only nodded his head."I took out 25,000 mid-rank blue mana crystals during the auction of the painting in a neighboring country," Mr. Zhao Long continued, his nose flaring with pride.Realizing that Mr. Zhao Long was eager for praise regarding his good taste in art, Guo Jiang praised the chief again.The smile on Mr. Zhao Long's face widened even more after being praised by Guo Jiang.'This young man is really good at winning people over,' Mr. Zhao Long thought. His hand moved, opening the drawer under his desk.Now he unceremoniously handed over a small tube suspected of
Master Spirit of Moon – Part I.
Guo Jiang observed the painting once again. He watched the face of the Master, the gray-robed Refiner, closely. His face looked very mysterious, as if the Refiner wanted to convey a message.The Refiner's eyes in the painting seemed to speak to Guo Jiang, urging him to "pay attention to the direction of my sword!"The sword in his right hand seemed to be pointing toward the large lake at the bottom of the cliff in the painting.'Hm... there is a small forest by the lake, and there is also an island in the middle of the lake. So beautiful and lifelike,' Guo Jiang thought.For some reason, Guo Jiang became interested in observing the painting more closely. His face was now two feet away from the painting."Owh..." Guo Jiang muttered under his breath.In fact, as he got closer and observed more carefully, he noticed that at the edge of the forest, there was a painting of a group of horses frolicking happily.However, what intrigued him even more was one horse in the painting, depicting a
A Painting on the Wall – Part II.
In a room provided for the law bureau and the family protectors of the empire, Guo Jiang was seen standing while Mr. Zhao Long sat at his desk.There were not too many decorations and ornaments that made the large room look impressive, but there were many portraits of figures who seemed to be the best representatives of the law bureau throughout history.Guo Jiang observed the ancient painting depicting a swordsman performing sword techniques on a high cliff filled with willow and peach trees.The face of the man in the painting looked majestic, as if the world was bowing to him. As he looked closer, Guo Jiang found a slight resemblance to the face of the great man in the painting. His face seemed similar to that of his mentor, the Gray Refiner."You seem to be interested in that painting, young man," said Zhao Long."Do you know who that young man is, or at least have you heard the story about him?" asked Mr. Zhao Long.Guo Jiang had promised his mentor, the Gray Robe Refiner, long a
A Painting on the Wall – Part I.
Padre Mu is a religious expert from the White Lotus Temple who serves as a spiritual tutor in the imperial palace. His cultivation level is at Earth Realm Level 3.A thin smile was etched on the face of Mr. Zhao Long, the Head of the Imperial Law Bureau of the Golden Pegasus. There has long been rivalry between the Law Bureau and the White Lotus Sect.Only the Law Bureau acts as the Emperor's right hand. However, over time, the White Lotus Sect, which established the worship temple, won the hearts of the imperial palace, and the White Lotus Cult was believed in by the Emperor and the palace relatives.The White Lotus Sect gradually took over many important powers in the empire, and the Head of the Law Bureau often clashed or disagreed with the side of the White Lotus Temple.Now, it was not surprising to reveal that a priest, or what was called a kind-hearted priest in that temple, was actually the flower-picking demon who was the enemy of the entire nation. It was clear that Mr. Zhao
The Man with the Four Coffins – Part II.
"That's right, Mr. Zhao Long. My name is Guo Jiang. You know that I'm the young Cultivator Rogue who took on the mission of capturing dead or alive The Flower-Picking Villain. And as per the mission given to all cultivator detectives, today I bring that flower-picker criminal for you to verify. Afterward, I expect the compensation that the law firm promised," Guo Jiang said.Mr. Zhao Long looked deeply at Guo Jiang, and in three blinks of an eye, he said, "Good job, young man. I would appreciate it even more if you could show me proof that this Padre of Goodness is The Flower-Picking Villain. To accuse a Padre like this is very dangerous if it is not accompanied by strong evidence."Guo Jiang, without saying much, then waved his hand, and a fierce wind blew, making the other three coffins burst open.The situation became even more chaotic after seeing the three lifeless figures. What was even more frightening was that two of them were the favorite disciples of the two major sects in t
