There was silence as Edmon Ouwyang stood in front of the court. He stared at the audience with a face that looked distressed and deeply hurt.

Eadric Rong had not yet spoken when Teng Jihun loudly spoke.

"Edmon Ouwyang, first-year disciple of the Wudang Sect! Are you willing to testify, honestly and without lying?"

"I do... I do!" hissed Edmon Ouwyang with eyes glaring at the audience and a wounded look. That kid was really good at playing charades.

"Then testify!" shouted Ferrin Teng in a booming voice. Apparently, Ferrin Teng wanted to make today's trial a memorable lesson for the Wudang Sect disciples.

He used Eadric Rong's mistake as a lesson for the sect disciples not to commit rash acts in the future.

Edmon Ouwyang, a teenager who was very cunning and good at acting, stood in the center of the room.

With a traumatized look on his face, he began to tell the story of the night in the Willow Forest. The whole time Edmon Ouwyang was telling his story, he was very good at making a goo

    "Leader Liu!" Eadric Rong's voice trembled, full of anxiety, when he saw the Yunshui Chun village leader standing at the door of the disciple court.With heavy steps, Leader Liu walked into the courtroom. From his dazed movements and pale face, it was obvious that he was under tremendous pressure.Eadric Rong tried to look into the man's eyes, seeking the slightest hint of recognition or sympathy. However, not once did Leader Liu turn his head in Eadric Rong's direction.Instead, he rushed to stand in front of the leader's disciples, looking unconfident as he realized there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him."Leader Liu!" called Eadric Rong once again, his voice trembling.This young man hoped that this was his chance to save himself from all the accusations that Edmon Ouwyang had made.However, for some reason, the man was unwilling to look away even slightly, let alone let their two eyes meet. Eadric Rong was getting more and more agitated. He was sure something was not

    That night in jail, Eadric Rong sat with a troubled expression. He did not expect that Edmon Ouwyang would slander him and even bribe Leader Liu of Yunshui Chun Village to testify falsely."I will not forget this slander! In the future, I will collect my debt from Edmon Ouwyang!" Eadric Rong's voice sounded haunted as he whispered softly.In front of him was a plate of rice with a piece of steamed bread and cold vegetables for dinner. Although he wasn't from a rich family, looking at the bland food, Eadric Rong had no appetite.Moreover, just this afternoon he was devastated by Edmon Ouwyang and Leader Liu's actions in the courtroom, making all the tasteless food seem like trash in his eyes.It was getting late in the night when the first bugle was sounded by the officer. The sound echoed, spreading across the plateau of Mount Wudang, breaking the silence of the night.Eadric Rong, a young man who still couldn't close his eyes, lay on his thin mattress. His heart was in turmoil, fille

    Eadric Rong stood still, caught in a dilemma of two difficult choices. He could choose to stay in that cave prison, waiting for a decision from the Sect Master until his pearl core was broken, his legs and arms were broken, and he became a cripple for life.Or, he could choose to leave and become a fugitive of the Wudang Sect forever if he chose to follow the old man standing in front of him."I am not forcing you to follow me," the old man said in a soft yet firm voice. "However, I feel sorry for a talent like you. They will destroy your pearl core, which will make your future bleak. However, all decisions are in your hands."Hearing the urging, Eadric Rong knelt down and worshiped the old man.He banged his forehead against the cold, moss-strewn floor. "Senior, mighty old man. I have no purpose in leaving the Wudang Sect. Ever since I was a child, I've been a lone wolf, without a father and mother.""Living and working as a lackey in this Wudang Sect, that's what I know as my home.

    The third bell had just been struck by the night officer, signaling that it was early morning (around 03:00 - 05:00). At that time, the sky was still dark.While touring the disciples' quarters of Wudang Sect's outer courtyard, the gong struck by the night attendant could be heard echoing up the hundred steps leading to Wudang Sect's Peak. The sound of his shout could be faintly heard at the gate of the hundred steps."The Yin Shi period has arrived. Everyone is expected to be vigilant!""Two of the Sect's most dangerous criminals have escaped. If anyone knows of their whereabouts, immediately sound the bells as a distress signal!" The officer shouted while beating the bells and gongs in a regular rhythm.His voice echoed for a moment before finally disappearing, swallowed by the silence of the night.On the first flight of stairs to the top of the sect, Edmon Ouwyang could be seen limping along. He had just finished holding a feast in Tanshan City, hosting Leader Liu, and giving gift

    The air in the Wudang Sect's main hall was filled with tension. No one dared to speak, not even the two new disciples who had just arrived.Tuk tak - tuk takThe sound of rhythmic footsteps came from the west of the hall.All eyes were immediately drawn to a figure who walked with dashing steps and exuded a powerful aura. The newly-arrived figure was wearing a simple-cut outfit, yet made of a classy material—silk.His hair was combed high up to the top of his head neatly, forming a small bun there. As a finishing touch, a pure silver hair lock appeared on top of his head.The man's face looked 60 years old, yet he didn't look old. He exuded a clean and dashing aura, yet made anyone who saw him feel respectful."Deputy Sect Leader, Master Caleb Yan...""Salute the Vice Sect Leader!"Everyone present in the hall immediately bowed to Caleb Yan. However, he ignored them, behaving as an official before the commoners.Without even turning his head, Master Caleb Yan simply waved his hand, as

    While the Wudang Sect disciples were busy searching for traces of the escaped Eadric Rong, two human figures were seen walking in the middle of the Lonely Forest, a forest filled with Mulberry plants.They seemed to be enjoying the scenery quietly.The taller figure was an old man dressed like a Taoist priest. His robes were shabby and his appearance looked disheveled, but he looked happy while singing.Meanwhile, the other figure with him was a teenager. Although he looked fifteen years old, he was actually only ten years old. They were Priests Zhang Qing Nian and Eadric Rong.The old priest walked leisurely and carefree, while Eadric Rong appeared to be carrying a wooden backpack with a headdress. His appearance made him look like a young Taoist selling prayers and talismans."Mr. Zhang, where are we going after passing through this Mulberry Forest?" asked Eadric Rong.Ever since the two of them left the Wudang Sect, Priest Zhang had never told Eadric Rong about their destination.H

    "Bring it to me," Priest Zhang said with a lustful face. Shamelessly, he ate the dish, and in the blink of an eye, there were only bones left."Bring the other one. I still want to eat," the Priest continued.When Eadric Rong thrust out one more cooked piece... Hap! Not ten breaths later, everything was just bones again.Eadric Rong secretly laughed, seeing the priest's huge appetite.Now there was one chicken left, still dripping fat on the coals.The sound of the fat splattering as it fell on the coals, plus the fragrance of the grilled meat, made Priest Zhang unable to take his eyes off the grill. He licked his lips intermittently, with eyes that looked eager.As the one who cooked, the remaining chicken should have been Eadric Rong's share. But when he saw the priest's gaze with the glittering eyeballs—still looking eager and willing to finish another one—Eadric Rong asked."Mr. Zhang. Do you still want to eat?"WUSH!Eadric Rong was shocked. A whole piece of the grilled chicken d

    The sun was already shining in the Mulberry Forest, its light entering the forest through the leaves, its hazy rays falling on the old man's face and waking Priest Zhang from his slumber.In front of his eyes was Eadric Rong, who was drenched in sweat. The rays of the morning sun could be seen licking the youngster's body, which seemed to move in slow movements and a certain rhythm, but his movements were full of confidence.Diligently, Eadric Rong continued to repeat the three sword stances he taught with a steady style, even though all the Yellow Dragon Swordsmanship moves were done in slow motion."This kid is really talented!" murmured Priest Zhang. "It was just last night that I fell asleep, and suddenly woke up this morning to see that he had mastered the sword movements and flowed pure air perfectly.Although his purity is still on par with that of the Jade Tiger Swordsman, he is truly a genius!"Priest Zhang's eyes seemed to shine as he watched Eadric Rong perform the three in

    With a powerful push, the Black Bat King pushed Yan Huansheng, so that the man staggered back, and fell heavily. His limp body slammed straight into the chairs and tables in the room. BRAK!Hurry up... In a stupor, Yan Huansheng attempted to stand up, and wanted to kneel down to worship the Black Bat King, and take his heart.He bowed pleadingly... "Forgive me, Bianfu Wang..."However, the words full of falsehood from Yan Huansheng's lips stopped halfway.The figure of the Black Bat King has disappeared, who knows when he left. This Black Bat King moved like a demon that could penetrate time and space, making no sound at all.Yan Huansheng shivered even more, remembering his impudence in mentioning that the Black Bat King had died earlier."How dangerous... It's dangerous..." Yan Huansheng hissed as he wiped the sweat from his temples. His fear was so deep that he forgot that there was a trickle of blood flowing from the wound on his neck.However, Yan Huansheng's eyes were fixed on a

  • Five-Color Organization - Part III.

    Inside the main room of the Five Colors Organization, Yan Huansheng, the authoritative and feared leader, had not slept that night. His habits were opposite to those of ordinary people.For him, day became night, and night became day when he worked. Most orders to kill someone were usually carried out secretly by figures who did not want to be recognized by anyone.This was the reason why Yan Huansheng had not gone to bed even though it was already the early hours of the night.As Yan Huansheng was busy calculating the amount of revenue that had come in this week, he was struck by something odd."Why hasn't that porridge man come back yet? Did something happen to him?" muttered Yan Huansheng. His eyes were glued to the notepad in front of him, and he did not look up even though at that moment, the sound of shoes could be heard quite loudly, walking into his room."Did that Liu Jin fail in his task of killing the auction-winning boy in the Hall of Fortune Koi? Ah... but that's impossib

  • Five-Color Organization - Part II.

    On a dark night, Mount Lingyun looked gloomy.A somber yet quiet and serene impression will befall the feelings of anyone who sees it, as if the guarding of the Five Colors Organization, from the foot of the mountain to the gate at the top, does not seem strict. However, don't get me wrong.Calm waters are not always harmless. As the saying goes, beware... still waters can wash away.Behind all this vigilance, there were several spies of the Five Colors Organization standing guard. They were along with demonic creatures lurking in the darkness of the night, ready to pounce on anyone who dared to try to break through to Lingyun Mountain Peak.Currently, at the edge of the Osmanthus Forest, there were two guards hiding and blending into the night.They were as if they were part of the Osmanthus tree and the Spruce tree itself, very much in disguise. They were both always on standby to unleash their secret weapon - An Qi, or throw a flying knife on that pitch-black night, in case of an i

    The chicken porridge seller who cooperated with the Four Sacks Beggar, in his opinion, had gone too far, wanting to take his life just for the sake of a manual.Holding some evidence in hand, "We'll see what I do with that organization," Eadric Rong muttered.Now, he had confirmed that the porridge man was indeed a hitman from the Five Colors Organization. He stepped up and left the deserted alley.Right now, the deserted hallway was silent again after Eadric Rong's departure.When the night watchman and the opas - a time-keeper with a bell - walked through the alleyway, they found only the traces of the battle: a wall in ruins. They found only the traces of the battle in the form of a crumbling wall."Murder!"The opas officer tapped the drum loudly. His voice broke the silence of the night as the first drum was about to be sounded. And Daqi Capital was shocked that very night."A chicken porridge vendor was found dead on a deserted road. Surprisingly, there are traces of the attack

    With incredible speed, the An Qi thrown by the four-sack beggar rushed over.Meanwhile, the chicken porridge vendor's cleaver was also moving at the same speed. The speed of these two attacks made it difficult for even a high-level martial arts expert to avoid them.However, there was a sudden crackling sound from the young man's hand, similar to the sound of wood breaking.KRAK - KRAK!Following the deafening sound, the young man they considered weak shouted in a high-pitched voice."DRAGON'S CRYING CLAW!"Something the two mysterious attackers never expected happened.The young man's hand suddenly formed a deadly grip similar to a dragon's claw. White smoke billowed out and formed the shadow and silhouette of a dragon.Fearlessly, the young man slammed his right hand into the gleaming machete, as if he had no fear of having his hand cut in half.PRANG!After the clash between the youth's dragon claw and the cleaver, a clattering sound filled the quiet night, making the two attackers

    Eadric Rong gave the congee vendor a quick glance.The vendor carried his wares, then put down his basket and sat at the corner of the narrow street. He hoped that Eadric Rong would have had a hard time getting through the narrow passage, if the congee vendor hadn't moved his wares to make room for others to pass through.In addition, there was a beggar sitting not far from him. The beggar had been mumbling in an indistinct voice, the words roughly reading "I'm hungry...""A beggar with clean clothes, and four sacks on his back?" thought Eadric Rong. What an irony. A beggar in clean clothes complaining of hunger, while there's a chicken porridge vendor with the tantalizing aroma of broth and stir-fried garlic next to him? Eadric Rong's vigilance instantly increased."Uncle... can't you lift your tools, so that young me can pass?" said Eadric Rong in a friendly tone full of anticipation. However, those two were behaving strangely. "Why trade in a lonely, narrow alley? Besides... beggin

    The voices of people shouting encouraged Tang Wei to bid for the manual at a higher price. However, Tang Wei's face turned pale. He felt cornered, trapped in a difficult decision."My means are limited to fifteen thousand gold coins," he muttered to himself. "I must set aside funds and give priority to bidding on the Main Auction.”“Instead of squandering money on a Huobo-class manual. Let me just give in this time, I don't want to be scolded by the Patriarch if I run out of money and can't participate in the main auction."With gritted teeth and restrained embarrassment, Tang Wei raised a hand, signaling that he wouldn't bid any higher. "Let the manual belong to the young master," he said in an almost inaudible voice.Tang Wei's face turned red as the entire auction room sneered at him. Tang Wei could only stare intently at the hick-looking rich young man with an angry expression. "You'll see. I'll take the manual away, if I get the chance!" thought Tang Wei with a face that now look

    "Fifteen thousand gold coins for a Huobo-class manual?" exclaimed a man in a tone of disbelief."Has that youngster lost his mind? That's a very high price, even for the standards of Huobo's most expensive manuals!"Meanwhile, the other people in the room were busy discussing the figure of the young master who dared to purchase the Talisman manual at such a high price. The atmosphere became boisterous, and rumors began to circulate."Who is that young master?" a woman asked with deep curiosity. "Is he from the Four Seasons Noble Family? Or perhaps from the Zhao Family? Or, perhaps, he's from the Xiao Family?"At that time, out of all the Four Seasons noble families, only the Zhao Family and Xiao Family had yet to act on the bargain. They seemed to be hiding in the crowd, seemingly waiting and watching, like hawks ready to pounce on prey."The Tang family just bought a manual represented by Tang Wei," said an old man with a hoarse voice. "As for the Murong Family? That is an impossible

    For example, Wuji Sword - Huobo Rank, Sky Rank Recovery Pill, Weapon Repelling Armor, Chi Concentration Bracelet, Rú Yì Shàn Wind Blowing Fan, Immortal Spirit Grail, Dragon Binding Rope, Sealing Stone Necklace, to Obsidian Stone Necklace.All of these items were sold at high bid prices, up to five times the actual auction price.However, among all the valuables and artifacts, there was not a single one that interested Eadric Rong.Eadric Rong was only amused as he watched the tension build as the auction progressed. The quality of the items Liu Ningxi announced on stage was increasing, giving rise to a hostile atmosphere. The problem was, none of the bidders were willing to budge."Let me not stand out too much, because what I need is the main auction, not all these things," Eadric Rong thought to himself as he tried to calm down. In his heart, he actually trembled at the sight of the rare items at the grand auction.Eadric Rong realized that the number of treasures left behind by the
