Huang Jin led Guo Fen past the main building the Hong Tian Sect leader was in. As soon as he entered the room, there were no people or guards in it. The room is wide enough and supported by wooden pillars. Form a rectangle and leave the windows open. Behind the room, there is a door without a gate that leads directly into the backyard.Not the backyard, but rather, the fighting yard."Master! There is someone who wants to meet you!” Huang Jin exclaimed. At that time, a woman clad in a green and white hanfu with a red belt was dodging attacks from a handsome young man wearing matching clothes. As soon as Huang Jin said so, the young man still attacked the figure of the master that Huang Jin called just now.From the sidelines of the battle area, Huang Jin and Guo Fen observed the battle that had just started.“They are practicing,” Huang Jin said.The woman tilted her body as the boy extended his palm. The attack happened very quickly. The boy’s feet were fast, moving forward while his
The evening sky began to gradually turn darker. An orange tinge splits the horizon, signaling that the sun is about to disappear from the surface. Candles and lanterns around the buildings and yards have started to be lit. Meanwhile, Guo Fen was still following the steps of the woman in front of him to a room in one of the buildings that were separated from the main building earlier.“Come in. I will tell you everything." The woman whose name he still didn't know was standing in the doorway. Above it is a board with the words 'library' written on it. Guo Fen thought that this was the library that Huang Jin was referring to earlier this afternoon."I may be presumptuous but... how do you believe that I'm the one you've been looking for?" as he entered a room filled with cupboards and bookshelves lined up on every side, Guo Fen asked.The woman took the lantern from the side of the door and approached Guo Fen. Her face reflected the yellow light from the candle flame.“I am Chen Yi
“Once upon a time, this Shancha Country was inhabited by humans who helped each other. Sharing each other and the land is rich with various plants, especially tea leaves, and rice. That's why the first emperor of Shancha—Li Shan Lao, preserved some agricultural land in the Li Ming area because it was the only place where the soil was most fertile. With the condition of the fertile land, many people moved there and settled there.“But because of the happiness of its people, Li Ming City started to be attacked by black magic disturbances from the demons that live in the mountains. They want the people's souls to be happy because the devils' food source is those who are prosperous. With all his resistance, the emperor Li Shan Lao also begged the sky to lower the guard on this land with an heirloom he found at the foot of Mount Zainan. The heirloom is shaped like a crystal but brightly colored like the moon.“No one ever knew where this relic came from, but when the Li Shan Lao emperor
Chen Yi Lin shifted the paper roll, getting to the end. The handwriting on the book sent chills down Guo Fen's spine. The stories that the woman told him also made him almost forget that he was still sitting here in the library of the Hong Tian sect.“At this point, the Legend of the Three Heavens document ends. This was written by my old teacher. This document continues. If you see the writing is slightly different. In this section…” Yi Lin spread the scroll and showed a blank section of the paper, “is left over for the next story.”“What do you mean by the next story?” asked Guo Fen confusedly. Still half unconscious with the story he just heard. It's hard to sink into a story that's almost drowned by time, and it's almost hard to believe because the era is too far away for Guo Fen to experience. But he was well aware of how far Chen Yi Lin was going to tell about the question that had been bothering him.“We heroes from every major sect are still trying to find a loophole to re
Guo Fen took out a small jade lotus with a silver hanging dangling from his belt pocket. He handed it over to Chen Yi Lin who looked at it on the table without saying anything."Because of her," Guo Fen replied slowly and calmly. For a moment he was silent, thinking about Rong Mei's figure. A girl with slanted eyes as sharp as an eagle, the owner of a sweet smile and jet black hair. The owner of the long sword and the most beautiful assassin Guo Fen had ever seen.Cautiously, Chen Yi Lin touched the jade and then muttered, “Lotus?” she raised her head, looking at Guo Fen whose mind was starting to drift back into the past."Ten years ago…"**Damn, bandits! muttered Guo Fen as he sped up his run. The wind howled swiftly as Guo Fen continued to cut through the crowds around the Huang market. A group of bandits wearing shabby clothes and carrying machetes and swords in their hands pushed local residents who were in their way. They overturned merchants' baskets, pushed tents to the groun
When he woke up, Guo Fen felt his right leg ache. He opened his eyes and sat on the bed while weeping at the room he was in.The room had no intact wooden walls. Part of it is open and leads directly to the forest and the cliffs beyond. There were too many windows and the occasional breeze howled in. Outside were pitched cloth tents and there was a small building about the same size but more closed and the windows didn't open.Someone stepped in through the open door. Guo Fen turned his gaze, finding a narrow-eyed girl with a closed mouth walking towards her. In her hand she held a large wooden cup and placed it on the floor. She squeezed the white cloth after dipping it into the liquid in the cup. Without saying anything, Guo Fen just watched the movement speechlessly.In the cup the water is not clear and slightly blackish. Guo Fen frowned slightly, but the pain in his right leg couldn't make him move anywhere. Brother Shao's long whip is something terrible. In bandit associatio
"What do they do when you can't kill?"Guo Fen lowered his head, and his shoulders as if the memories were being crushed one by one until he couldn't move and surrendered to his fate."They rushed me," replied Guo Fen.The girl sighed as she put her hands on her hips. “If you can't kill, then you don't have to. That's fine. But, you can't go on forever without killing. Do you not intend to avenge your father?”“My father died because of my mother. Meanwhile, I can't kill my mother. Besides I don't know where she is, I can't do it because… she's my mother.”The girl whose name Guo Fen still didn't know raised the corners of her lips and chuckled lightly. "What a pity. You're still a kid, but the world has shown blood on you. But don't worry, I'm the same as you. At the age of three, I was taught how to kill. And it turns out, it feels so satisfying when you thrust your sword into an enemy when you feel like you're almost dying from the hatred that has seeped into your chest.”Gu
The girl knitted her brows, then threw her sword, and deftly, it spun in the air. Rong Mei catches with the thumb under the grip and the four fingers on top. The wind cut through Rong Mei's running speed, and the girl thrust her sword into Guo Fen's heart again. What Guo Fen noticed all along was that Rong Mei always easily moved her right shoulder towards his heart. It was as if she was so used to it. But of course, Guo Fen dodged it neatly. He spun around and parried Rong Mei's longsword with his ice blade.The sound of swords and ice crystals clinking. Almost gave off a spark. Guo Fen held the ice knife with both hands. When Rong Mei spun around to slash with even stronger force to chop Guo Fen, Guo Fen had already predicted it. He ducked faster, Rong Mei raised her hand, rotated the position of the sword in the air then took the sword in a different position so she could use the long sword like holding a short knife.Guo Fen knew her next move, he spun around, turned his back o
