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
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 28: The Arena Outside the City
The night sky began to rise as Chen Wu and Fang Yu arrived at an open field outside the city. A crowd had gathered, carrying lanterns and torches, creating a ring of light around them. Not only common townsfolk but also notable figures from various local clans were present, eager to witness the battle.Fang Yu stood in the center of the arena, his blue robe billowing in the night breeze. His gaze radiated confidence, like a king about to pass judgment on his subject. He was the pride of the Fang Clan, a young prodigy with extraordinary strength at the Fourth Rank of the Earth Star Realm.Chen Wu stepped forward, his face as calm as ever. There was no sign of tension or doubt. He simply stood there, holding his sword in one hand as if this fight was nothing more than a minor distraction on his journey."Chen Wu!" Fang Yu shouted, his voice echoing across the field. "Today, I will show everyone that no one can underestimate the Fang Clan. You will pay the price for what you’ve done!"Ch
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 29: The Quiet Tavern
The night sky was filled with stars, yet the city felt eerily silent. Chen Wu chose a small tavern on the edge of the street, far from the bustling market and its noise. The place was simple, with aging wooden walls and oil lamps casting a dim glow. Wearing a wide conical hat that obscured most of his face, he walked in with steady steps. Inside, only a few people could be seen.Chen Wu sat at a wooden table in the corner. “A pot of warm tea, please,” he said, removing his hat and placing it on the table. His gaze swept the room, ensuring nothing seemed out of place.The tavern owner, an old man with a thin white beard, greeted him warmly. “Just a moment, sir,” he replied, quickly moving to the small kitchen at the back. The sound of his steps mingled with the noise of water being poured into a pot. Soon, the soothing aroma of tea began to fill the air.Chen Wu waited quietly, occasionally glancing at the door and windows, remaining alert. Not long after, the old man returned with a p

Chapter 107: The Gate of Fate Opens
The corridor grew heavier with each step. After the fierce battle against Yue Sha and the shadow creatures, Chen Wu, Lan Mei, and Liu Yin remained vigilant. The air around them trembled subtly, as if something unseen was lurking in the darkness."The energy here is shifting…" Liu Yin whispered, his fingers gripping the ancient map tightly. "We're getting closer to the main chamber."Lan Mei ran her hand along the stone walls, which now felt warmer. "There's a power flowing through this place… like something is waiting for us."Chen Wu unsheathed his sword, his sharp eyes scanning the narrowing path ahead. "Whatever it is, we need to be ready."They continued forward until the corridor opened into a vast chamber. In its center stood an ancient altar, adorned with glowing inscriptions. Floating above it, a black tome hovered slowly, surrounded by swirling dark energy."The Shadow Heaven Codex…" Liu Yin murmured, his voice filled with both awe and trepidation.Before they could take anot
Chapter 106: Shadows Behind the Gate of Destiny
The long, dark stone corridor welcomed them. A damp, ancient scent filled the air. The dim light from glowing crystals on the walls provided faint illumination, casting eerie shadows that danced along the passage.“We must stay alert,” Chen Wu whispered, his eyes sharply scanning every corner. “Yue Sha won’t let us walk through easily.”They moved cautiously, the echo of their footsteps reverberating down the hallway. Liu Yin tightly gripped the ancient scroll, trying to decipher the symbols carved into the walls. “These symbols... they look like protective spells. This place is guarded by ancient powers.”Lan Mei nodded, her fingertips brushing against one carving that radiated warmth. “The energy is pure... but something feels off.”BRUAAK!Suddenly, the wall behind them collapsed, sealing off their exit. Black mist swirled from the rubble, forming a tall figure with glowing red eyes.Yue Sha emerged from the shadows, her silver mask gleaming menacingly in the crystal light. “You’ve
Chapter 105: The Secret Behind the Moonlight
They began exploring the temple, following the clues from the ancient map. Every step was taken with caution, knowing that a single mistake could be fatal.In one of the chambers, they discovered an altar adorned with strange symbols. Atop the altar lay a small wooden box, encrusted with gemstones.“That must be the key,” Liu Yin whispered.But before they could take it, a rustling sound made them turn around. From the shadows, figures clad in black emerged—members of the Hai Clan.“We've been expecting you,” said their leader, a masked man with a hoarse voice.Chen Wu unsheathed his sword. “The Hai Clan. I should’ve known you wouldn’t let us go so easily.”A battle erupted. Chen Wu and Lan Mei fought the Hai Clan members with all their strength. Swords clashed, energy exploded around them, and the room trembled under the unleashed power.Meanwhile, Liu Yin attempted to grab the wooden box. But as soon as he touched it, a trap was triggered. The floor beneath him opened, revealing a p
Chapter 104: Chen Wu’s Resolve
In the middle of a dense forest in the southern region, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stopped briefly to catch their breath. The sound of a small stream nearby was calming, but the atmosphere between them remained tense. The aftermath of the battle in Thousand Lights City still lingered, and they knew that their next move would determine their fate.Lan Mei sat on a large rock, cleaning the bloodstains from her sword. "We can't keep going like this, Chen Wu. Every time we move, they always find us. The Hai Clan won't stop until they capture you."Chen Wu stood at the riverbank, gazing at the flowing water with sharp eyes. "I know. But we have no other choice. The Heavenly Shadow Tome is the key to uncovering the truth I've been searching for. If the Hai Clan wants it, that means they know something we don't."Lan Mei sighed. "But is it worth the risk we're taking? The Hai Clan is not an opponent we can underestimate. Hai Yushuang clearly has a bigger plan, and she won’t stop until she gets what
Chapter 103: The Shadow of the Hai Clan
Inside a grand hall illuminated by dazzling crystal lights, a young woman sat on the main seat. She wore a red robe embroidered with gold, her long hair neatly tied, and her sharp eyes exuded dominance.In front of her, a man knelt with his head lowered. "Young Miss, we have confirmed that Chen Wu has left the Heavenly Light Sect and is currently in Thousand Lights City."The Young Miss of the Hai Clan—Hai Yushuang—smiled faintly, but behind that smile lay a dangerous intent. "So he finally left..."She held a teacup in her hand and took a slow sip. "And what about the people we sent?"The man swallowed before replying. "They... failed. Chen Wu killed them all."CRACK!The teacup in Hai Yushuang's hand cracked, spilling tea onto her fingers, but she didn't care. "As expected, he's not easy to deal with. But that doesn't matter."She stood and looked out the window. "He's always been a thorn in my side. This time, I won't let him escape."Her eyes gleamed coldly."Prepare our best peop
Chapter 102: The First Step into the Outer World
Chen Wu and Lan Mei stood at the gates of the Heavenly Light Sect, gazing at the vast expanse of mountains stretching before them. The morning air was fresh, but in their hearts, there was an undeniable tension.Elder Xuan, along with several sect elders, accompanied them to the exit."The journey into the outer world will not be easy," Elder Xuan said with wisdom in his voice. "You must always be vigilant, especially against powerful organizations like the Sky Alliance, the Blood Demon Clan, and, of course, the Shadow Black Sect."Chen Wu nodded. "We understand, Elder."Lan Mei smiled faintly. "We will return one day, bringing glory to this sect."Elder Xuan chuckled. "I look forward to that day."After their final bow, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stepped out of the sect. With each step, they moved further away from the place they had called home.The Black Mist ForestSeveral days of smooth travel passed until they finally reached the Black Mist Forest—a place notorious for its natural pois
Chapter 101: Traces of Darkness
Chen Wu continued staring at the empty hall entrance after the departure of the silver-haired man and his companions. Though his body felt exhausted, his mind was filled with countless questions.Who exactly was the Shadow Sect? And why were they interested in him?Lan Mei grasped his arm, her face full of concern. "You really need to be careful, Chen Wu. People like them don’t come without a reason."Chen Wu nodded. "I know. But I can’t just sit back without finding out what’s really going on."Lan Mei was silent for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. "Alright. If you really want to investigate, then I’m coming with you."Chen Wu gave a faint smile. "Thank you, Lan Mei."Before they could discuss further, an elderly man in the sect’s elder robes entered the hall. His face, usually calm and wise, now bore a trace of concern."Chen Wu," he called in a firm voice.Chen Wu immediately bowed in respect. "Elder Xuan."Elder Xuan observed the disciples still gathered in the hall befor
Chapter 100: The Shadow That Lurks
Chen Wu remained standing in place, feeling the throbbing pain from his wounds. Lan Mei supported him anxiously."We need to get you treated," she said.Chen Wu shook his head. "I'm fine. These aren't serious wounds."Lan Mei sighed, knowing how stubborn Chen Wu could be. "At the very least, we need to find out who that cloaked man was. He’s not an ordinary person."Chen Wu nodded. "I want to know too. But more importantly, he called this the 'first test.' That means more tests are coming."Lan Mei bit her lip. "Then we need to prepare. I won’t let you face this alone."They returned to the sect’s headquarters, where they trained. However, as they arrived, the atmosphere felt strange. The air was thick with tension, and several disciples whispered among themselves with anxious expressions.Chen Wu stopped a passing disciple. "What's going on?"The disciple looked at him seriously. "Visitors from an outside sect have arrived. They want to meet the most talented disciples."Chen Wu exch
Chapter 99: The Test Begins
Chen Wu stood silently in the middle of the training ground, his mind filled with questions. The mysterious old man had appeared like a storm, delivering a lesson he had never expected. Despite his exhaustion, a stronger fire burned within him."Truly worthy of a technique to combat darkness," Chen Wu muttered, recalling the old man's words. But who was he, really? And what did he mean by ‘a more challenging test’?The next day, Chen Wu tried to return to his routine. He focused on basic techniques to calm his mind. However, something felt different. Every movement he performed now carried a depth he had never perceived before. It was as if the old man had opened a door to a new understanding."Focus on balance," he reminded himself, recalling the old man’s lesson. He tried to harmonize his attacks and defenses into one seamless flow. Each punch and kick he practiced felt more precise and powerful.But before he could immerse himself completely in his training, a voice broke his conce
