The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 20: Shadows That Follow the Journey
The Black Forest grew even denser as the night deepened. The sky, once dim, was now entirely dark, illuminated only by faint moonlight that occasionally slipped through gaps in the canopy. Chen Wu treaded cautiously, his wooden sword firmly in hand.The atmosphere in this forest was unusual. There was an eerie silence, as if all living creatures were holding their breath. Thick mist shrouded the narrow path, making visibility increasingly difficult. But Chen Wu pressed on.In the distance, faint sounds emerged. At first, they seemed like rustling leaves, but gradually they became clearer—the sound of footsteps. Chen Wu halted, channeling his energy to heighten his senses."Who dares approach?" he wondered.Srek, srek. The steps grew closer, yet no figure appeared—only the whisper of the night wind."I know you’re there," Chen Wu called out firmly, his tone laced with vigilance.From within the mist, a dark shadow slowly materialized. This time, it wasn’t human. A large creature resemb
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 21: A Meeting on the Road
That morning, Chen Wu walked slowly along the narrow path connecting the Black Forest to the nearest town. Although the sun had begun to warm the earth, the cold air still bit sharply, mirroring his cautious state of mind. However, the calm of his journey was soon broken by a sound that shattered the silence.His keen ears picked up a woman’s scream, followed by the crude laughter of several men. The noise came from the bushes at the side of the road. Instantly alert, Chen Wu moved toward the sound, observing from behind the trees.In a small clearing hidden from the road, five rough-looking men surrounded a young woman. She wore simple clothes, now crumpled and dusty. Her long black hair was disheveled, and her eyes shone with fear. In her hands, she clutched a small bag tightly."Stay back!" the girl shouted, her voice trembling.“Don’t be scared, sweetie,” one of the bandits sneered mockingly. “We just want to share a little fun.”The girl stepped back, tears welling in her reddene
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 22: The Beginning of a New Journey
The journey to the nearest town was still long, but their steps did not falter. Yue Ling walked alongside Chen Wu, occasionally glancing at him with curiosity that she could not hide."So," Yue Ling began the conversation, her voice soft but hesitant. "What brings you to a remote place like this? You don't look like an ordinary person."Chen Wu kept his gaze fixed ahead, his expression as cold as usual. "That's none of your business."Yue Ling flinched slightly at his response, but she did not give up. "I just want to know. You saved me earlier. I feel... you're different."Chen Wu didn’t respond, letting the silence hang between them. Yue Ling sighed softly, deciding not to press him further.In the middle of their journey, a distant rumble caught their attention. Yue Ling stopped, her eyes wide with surprise. "What’s that sound?"Chen Wu closed his eyes, feeling the vibration of energy in the air. "A fight.""A fight?" Yue Ling looked anxious. "Should we avoid it?"Chen Wu stared sh
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 23: The Escort Offer
The sunlight began to fade, but the air remained hot and humid as they continued their journey. Chen Wu and Yue Ling were still walking along the trail leading to the nearest town. However, before they could take another step, a voice called out from behind."Sir, may we ask for one request?"Chen Wu paused for a moment, his cold and sharp eyes scanning the source of the voice. One of the traders he had saved earlier was running toward them, his face filled with hesitation but also hope.Yue Ling, noticing this, spoke up as Chen Wu remained silent. "What is it?" she asked in a softer tone than usual.The trader stopped a few steps ahead of them and bowed respectfully. "We would like you to ride in one of our carriages. We will escort you to the city. We cannot let someone as strong as you travel alone on these dangerous roads."Chen Wu stared at the trader with an unreadable expression. There was a brief silence before he spoke in a cold tone that made the trader flinch slightly."Jus
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 24: The Unexpected Conflict
The bustling and noisy atmosphere of the market suddenly turned tense. Chen Wu was inspecting some items at a stall when a loud voice echoed, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. A man appeared, arrogantly riding a white horse, moving swiftly through the crowded market, disregarding the people who had to step aside to make way.The man didn't care at all about the people forced to avoid his path. He looked overly confident, wearing flashy clothing and carrying a large sword at his waist. However, as he continued with his fast-moving horse, an inevitable incident occurred.An elderly man, seemingly walking slowly among the crowd, nearly got trampled by the horse. His vision was blurry, and his steps were weak, making it difficult for him to dodge in time. Chen Wu, who was not far from the scene, immediately assessed the situation. Without hesitation, he swung his hand with a swift motion.Whoosh! A gust of wind shot out from the small swing.Suddenly, the horse came to a halt, its
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 25: A Warning in the Midst of the Crowd
After the incident with Fang Tian, the market, which had briefly quieted down, came back to life. However, despite the return of the bustle, a sense of tension lingered in the air. Some merchants, who had previously been hesitant, now resumed their activities more cautiously, still uneasy about the potential danger that might arise after the earlier event. A few people looked at Chen Wu with curiosity, while others chose to avoid him, seemingly understanding that this young man was not someone to be taken lightly.As Chen Wu walked further, an elderly man who had been observing the event approached him. The man had a simple appearance, wearing faded black clothes, with long white hair neatly braided. Though his appearance was unremarkable, the aura he emanated was quite powerful, indicating that he was no ordinary person.Chen Wu, who had almost not noticed his surroundings, sensed the man’s presence before he drew near. He paused for a moment and turned, eyeing the elderly man with a
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 26: On the Brink of Death
Clang!A loud sound echoed as the sword struck Master Liang’s body. However, the much more shocking sound was the long scream that escaped Master Liang’s mouth.Ugh!For a moment, time seemed to stop. Master Liang’s once dignified face now looked as though it had just been struck by total devastation.Around him, the aura of the Fifth Rank of the Earth Star Realm, which had enveloped his body, began to crack and dissipate. Master Liang’s body staggered backward a few steps, as if every movement required immense effort. His previously calm expression was now filled with extreme pain. “This... is impossible!” he yelled, blood pouring from the wounds on his body.Master Liang, once revered, now collapsed to the ground with a rumble that shook the surroundings. The natural power he had controlled, once his greatest weapon, now seemed utterly useless. His body lay on the ground, motionless, blood flowing from the deep gashes in his chest and abdomen. His eyes were vacant, as if unable to b
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 27: A New Step Into Conflict
The sky began to turn orange as the sun dipped toward the western horizon. Chen Wu walked slowly along the quieting city streets, his mind filled with plans and questions about the future. After the incident at the market with Fang Tian and his brother, he realized that the outside world was full of forces and intrigues that he needed to navigate carefully.However, Chen Wu also knew he could not stop moving forward. Every battle, every conflict, would only make him stronger and pave the way toward his goal—restoring the glory of the Tianlong Clan.In another part of the city, a grand meeting hall was filled with influential figures. Elders from various clans and local factions sat around a long table made of ebony wood. At the center, a middle-aged man in a red robe stood with a serious expression."We cannot ignore this incident," said the man, his voice full of authority. "Master Liang, one of our great powers, has been killed by a young man whose origins we do not even know. This

Chapter 88: A Meeting with the Master
That night, Chen Wu arrived at the modest inn where his master awaited. Carefully, he placed the Moon Spirit Flower Elixir into a wooden box lined with protective formations he had prepared in advance. His thoughts were still occupied with the events of the auction, but he knew he had to report everything to his master.Inside the dimly lit room, an elderly man with white hair sat cross-legged. Though his face was lined with wrinkles, his aura radiated calm and profound strength. He was Yuan Tian, Chen Wu's mentor and protector.As Chen Wu entered, Yuan Tian slowly opened his sharp yet compassionate eyes. "You’re late, Chen Wu. What happened at the auction?"Chen Wu bowed respectfully. "Master, I successfully acquired the Moon Spirit Flower Elixir. However, it was not easy. I had to sacrifice the Shadow Refinement Technique to secure it, and I attracted the attention of some dangerous individuals."Yuan Tian nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated this. "Obtaining something valuable

Chapter 87: Tensions Rise at the Auction
After several items had been auctioned, the atmosphere in the Purple Star Pavilion grew increasingly tense. When the auctioneer returned to the podium, he smiled mysteriously, signaling that the next item was something extraordinary.“Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is one of the most anticipated of the evening—Moon Spirit Flower Elixir! This elixir is renowned for its ability to rapidly and significantly enhance cultivation levels. However, it can only be used once in a lifetime, as its effects diminish drastically after the first use. Starting bid: forty thousand gold coins!”The crowd erupted into a commotion. Many cultivators began whispering and exchanging competitive glances. This was no ordinary item; it was a treasure capable of altering one’s cultivation path entirely.Chen Wu, seated at the back of the hall, sharpened his focus. He knew this was an opportunity he couldn’t afford to miss, even if it meant facing intense competition.“Fifty thousand!” a man in the front ro

Chapter 86: Struggle at the Auction
Night had fallen when Chen Wu entered the Purple Star Pavilion, a grand building bathed in a soft purple glow that captivated every gaze. The auction hall was filled with cultivators from various regions—some exuding intimidating auras, others appearing as wealthy merchants eager to acquire rare treasures.Chen Wu chose a seat near the back of the hall, far enough not to draw attention but close enough to observe the items on display. On the stage, a dignified auctioneer stood ready to commence the event.After several items were auctioned, the atmosphere grew tense as the auctioneer announced:"Next, the Green Sky Herb! This plant possesses the ability to purify spiritual energy and accelerate the recovery of internal injuries. Extremely rare, it can only be found in remote mountains rich in spiritual energy. Starting bid: twenty thousand gold coins!"Chen Wu's eyes lit up. This herb was one of the things he sought—not only for its remarkable benefits but also because it aligned with

Chapter 85: Emerging from the Misty Forest
After overcoming the final trial, the dense fog that had obscured Chen Wu and Li Feng's vision began to dissipate. The oppressive atmosphere of the Black Mist Mountains was gradually replaced by a view of clear skies and fresh air, offering a newfound sense of freedom.Chen Wu walked forward with steady steps, followed by Li Feng, who appeared calmer but visibly exhausted. Ahead of them, a rocky path led to an open plain, and in the distance, a thick forest marked the edge of the Black Mist Mountains."We made it," Li Feng said, his voice filled with relief.Chen Wu nodded. "Yes, we’re finally out."Li Feng looked at Chen Wu, his eyes showing deep respect. "I’ve learned so much from you, Chen Wu. You’re not just strong, but also wise. Thank you for helping me."Chen Wu gave a faint smile. "You’ve shown remarkable courage, Li Feng. You’re no longer the person you were when we first met."They paused briefly at the edge of the Black Mist Mountains. Li Feng turned to Chen Wu with a serio

Chapter 84: Shadows of the Past
Chen Wu and Li Feng continued their journey through the dense mist, which now seemed to conceal something sinister. Faint noises—perhaps the rustling of wind or distant footsteps—trailed them from afar. Yet Chen Wu remained calm, though his vigilance never wavered.“Do you feel like we’re being watched?” Li Feng whispered, his voice trembling.Chen Wu gave a small nod without turning. “Since we left the Mist Treasure Chamber, I’ve sensed something strange. Be ready for anything.”Li Feng tightened his grip on the small dagger in his hand.Suddenly, the mist ahead churned, as if alive and moving with its own will. Emerging from the fog was a tall figure radiating a suppressive aura. As the figure became clearer, Chen Wu saw that it was an elderly man with long, silver-white hair and sharp, hawk-like eyes.The man wore a black robe adorned with golden mist patterns. In his hand, he held a staff that shimmered with ancient symbols. His energy was so overwhelming that the air around him f

Chapter 83: The Path to a New Destiny
After leaving the Mist Treasure Chamber, Chen Wu and Li Feng made their way back into the forest, which now felt more foreboding. The dense mist that usually hung around them seemed to radiate an air of stillness, as if acknowledging that something monumental had occurred.Chen Wu, now feeling a new energy coursing through his body, walked calmly. Yet his mind lingered on the words spoken in the Mist Treasure Chamber: “True treasures are not merely found, but must also be protected.”Li Feng broke the silence, his voice tinged with awe. “Chen Wu, what exactly happened back there? You seem… different now.”Chen Wu turned to him with a faint smile. “I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like something within me has changed. Maybe the energy from that orb has strengthened me.”Li Feng nodded, though his confusion lingered. “I don’t know what you experienced, but one thing’s clear—you’re much stronger than me. If not for your bravery, I’d already be dead here.”Chen Wu lightly patted Li Feng’

Chapter 82: The Secret of the Mist Treasure Chamber
The mist thickened around them as Chen Wu and Li Feng ventured deeper, following the map inscribed on the ancient scroll they had just acquired. Every step grew heavier, as if the very air resisted their progress. Yet, beneath the exhaustion, a burning determination blazed within Chen Wu. The scroll had become a new guide, leading them toward something far greater than the blue crystal or the altar guardian.“Chen Wu,” Li Feng finally broke the heavy silence that surrounded them. “What do you think the Mist Treasure Chamber really is?”Chen Wu furrowed his brows, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. “I don’t know for sure. But if it’s guarded so fiercely, there must be something extraordinary inside.”Li Feng nodded slowly, though a lingering doubt gnawed at his heart. “But… if we find it, do you think we’ll make it out of here alive?”Chen Wu turned to him with a faint yet resolute smile. “We’ve come this far. I won’t let anything stop us now.”They pressed on, passing through towering

Chapter 81: The Mist Guardian and the Secret of the Blue Crystal
Chen Wu and Li Feng trudged away from the Mist Altar, with the blue crystal clutched tightly in Chen Wu's hand. Though exhausted, the determination in his eyes burned unwaveringly. Their steps faltered as a deep rumbling echoed through the mist behind them."Chen Wu, what's happening now?" Li Feng asked, panic lacing his voice, his dagger already in hand.Chen Wu turned toward the source of the sound, his expression hardening. "It seems we’re not done here yet."From the dense fog emerged a colossal figure. A massive stone statue with glowing blue eyes loomed before them. The statue depicted a muscular man wielding a giant spear etched with ancient runes. Its presence exuded an overwhelming aura that made the air around them heavier.“The Guardian of the Altar…” Li Feng murmured, his face paling. “They say these guardians only awaken when something is taken that shouldn’t be.”Chen Wu tightened his grip on the blue crystal. “So this is the crystal’s doing.”The statue began to move, i

Chapter 80: Duel at the Mist Altar
Meanwhile, Li Feng struggled against the two remaining cultivators. Despite his fear, he fought back with his dagger, relying on evasive maneuvers. However, a powerful strike sent him crashing to the ground, coughing up blood and barely clinging to consciousness.“Li Feng!” Chen Wu called out, glancing toward him.The brief distraction gave his opponents an opening. One of the poisoned blades slashed his arm, forcing Chen Wu to retreat and create some distance. A sharp sting began spreading, but he gritted his teeth, staying focused.The woman in the purple robe smirked with satisfaction. “You’re finally struggling. If only you had surrendered earlier, none of this would have been necessary.”Chen Wu ignored her taunts, taking a deep breath as he summoned his spiritual energy. Activating a technique his master had taught him—the Absolute Shadow Blade Strike—his sword’s aura thickened, radiating an overwhelming pressure that froze his opponents momentarily.In one swift motion, he unle
