The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Commotion in the Lobby - Part I.
Seeing this, guests who were shopping or just looking around in the lobby, of course, became frightened."What happened?" asked one of the guests with a pale face. "Is it safe?" whispered another in a worried tone. "Let's go! I don't want us to die for nothing here when the battle breaks out!" the others exclaimed, starting to panic.The visitors who had filled the lobby of the Lucky Koi Hall began to feel a deep sense of unease."Why wait here! This place is no longer safe!" someone exclaimed in a panicked tone."That's right... let's go and shop somewhere else. Not at a place frequented by bouncers!" the others chimed in quickly.With tensions running high, many visitors chose to leave the scene, avoiding a potential showdown that could lead to chaos and bloodshed.They crowded towards the exit, leaving the lobby increasingly filled with a suffocating aura of tension.In his study, Li Shangyin heard the increasing commotion outside. The noise made him frown, and he immediately calle

However, the suffocating tension was broken by someone's dominant voice echoing in the room."Mr. Li Shangyin... I will resign and decide not to cooperate with the Lucky Koi Hall anymore!"A man stepped forward confidently, wearing a gray tunic covered by a gray robe with yin and yang symbols. His steps were calm yet assertive, making every eye in the lobby fall on him."Talisman Master - Duan Jiexin!" exclaimed Li Shangyin, shocked and angry. "What's going on? Why are you carrying all your things? Do you intend to leave here?"Li Shangyin's face turned tense, his expression showing deep worry as he stared at Duan Jiexin who was walking while carrying his luggage in a large cloth.Duan Jiexin stepped up with a highly martial cultivator standing beside him.Duan Jiexin looked like he was trying to stay calm, as if he was not tense and affected by the pressure.With a tone of voice that seemed stuttered yet firm, the talisman master revealed his decision that made Li Shangyin's face tur
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Daily Life as a Talisman Master.
From that day on, Eadric Rong officially worked as a Talisman Master in the Koi Hall of Fortune.However, he kept his true identity as a Protector of the Hall a secret, with some careful consideration. "If I tell them that I have the status of a Protector of the Hall, there are two possibilities!""The first possibility is that the imperial party might check the Three Sanctities Temple in Tangye City and conclude that I, this young man, am the Black Bat King," Eadric Rong muttered, carefully writing symbols and spells on the talisman paper.As a Talisman Master, Eadric Rong was given his own study. It was quite spacious, filled with wall hangings symbolizing the Tao - Yin and Yang, as well as magical calligraphic sentences."The second possibility is, it's possible that the Fortune Koi Hall in Daqi Capital has been feeling strange over my disappearance. This could be attributed to the Bat King, so the possible conjecture that I am the Black Bat King could create a stir!"Eadric Rong's

With a flushed face, Eadric Rong rebuked Li Shangyin who could only remain silent."Or you can go to the central plains, and recruit another Talisman Master who has a spiritual level far above me, even above that Master Duan!" exclaimed Eadric Rong in a challenging tone. This made his blood boil every time Li Shangyin criticized.Hearing Eadric Rong's loud yell, Li Shangyin would normally run away, his face flushed with suppressed rage as he grumbled to himself."That kaparat boy is really arrogant. He knows we need him. We'll see what happens in the future. If I get a Talisman Master who's better than him, I'll kick him out myself!"However, Li Shangyin's threats and diatribes never came true.Searching for a Talisman Master with high abilities was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Every time he tried to find a replacement, reality slapped him back; Eadric Rong was irreplaceable.The need for Eadric Rong's expertise kept him in a position of strength, even though their relatio
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Level Four Curious Ghost.
Tanxiang Forest is a notoriously haunted place, an area that is a scourge to many.Night in this forest is the scariest time, with pitch darkness and strange voices whispering through the trees. Very few people dare to pass through this forest at night.Even if they did, they were mostly from the Martial Art World, people who had the basics of spiritual power and martial skills.The high-level curious ghosts that inhabit this forest often possess martial arts attack abilities of unfathomable strength, so only fighters of a certain level dare to test their mettle in Tanxiang Forest.That night, as the clock struck the first bell, a horse-drawn carriage could be seen crossing the rocky and muddy roads of Tanxiang Forest.The wheels of the carriage creaked on the small, slippery stones, creating a sound that echoed in the silence of the night. The charioteer, wearing a hemp hat, sat at the front of the carriage, his face hidden in the shadow of the hat, but if you looked closely, he seem

When it reached a certain point, the talisman stopped and stuck to the pine trunk. The soft glow of the intricate symbols and runes on it lit up before suddenly exploding with a loud noise, shaking the surrounding air and causing the pine tree to fall in a resounding boom.DUAR!Along with the sound of thunderous explosions and falling pine trees, a shadowy figure floated down from high above. The figure wore a long white dress that trembled gently in the night breeze, and its feet treaded the ground with an impression."Very good... You've been stalking me, haven't you? I wonder... aren't you the one who has consumed all the curious ghosts in Tanxiang Forest tonight? Leaving none for me?" Eadric Rong looked sharply at the ghost before him, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.The ghost wore a long white dress that was weathered and stained, splattered with dirt from the roads she had traveled. Her skin was as white as ice, standing out in the thick darkness of the night. Her face was va
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Ghost's Curse.
Eadric Rong's weapons moved with stunning speed and precision, but they did not contain true energy or pure air.The ghost sneered more deeply, her face growing more sinister in an expression full of contempt. "Just mere sword movements! No pure air at all? Search for death!" Her voice trembled with satisfaction, confident that victory was already in her hands.In the meantime, the ghost was already thinking out of the box, fantasizing about winning the battle."Listen," she said as she glanced at Eadric Rong, who was moving around with what she thought was a non-lethal weapon, "Spirit, a Talisman Master is very powerful. I might be able to increase my spiritual power if I prey on his spirit." The ghost's eyes flashed with evil intent, imagining the power she would gain.PANG!However, the ghost was surprised. Instead of discovering that the weapon slashed by the Talisman Master was broken in her hand, she had to accept the bitter truth.The arrogant ghost could only watch in horror a
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Fourth Grade Spirit Master.
"Don't dream! Want to reincarnate?" Eadric Rong shouted, his voice echoing among the great trees of Tanxiang Forest, filled with anger and power.When his eyes caught a faint flash of light that resembled a firefly, darting from the body of the ghost he had just split open, Eadric Rong immediately realized the spirit's intention to flee.Quickly, he let out a sharp curse. "I won't let you!" he muttered in a cold tone, then sprang into action.His right hand moved quickly, throwing out a talisman carved with intricate letters and symbols that seemed to glow in the darkness of the forest.The talisman shot out at an astonishing speed, chasing after the ghostly spirit that was trying to escape.Eadric Rong began to chant the prayers and mantras he had learned from the Taoist teachings, his voice deep and authoritative, seeming to vibrate the surrounding world.His surroundings suddenly changed.The forest, which had once been only dark and silent, now felt eerie, as if it had become a na

Ten Moves for Glory.
"Isn't it possible that the Zhen Long pill, the grand prize we're after, will be brought in by an expert from the neighboring Empire. That would tarnish the face of all the cultivators of this country!" worried murmurs could be heard from various directions.Meanwhile, on the other side, the Five Star Sect seats that were filled with an aura of majesty seemed to flinch. Even so, dissatisfaction was clearly visible in their eyes. Everyone there was angry, though restrained themselves very well."Should I go forward?" Zhou Wen, the young genius of the Blue Sky Sect, asked quietly to his Sect Leader, Liang Tiancheng. The look in his eyes signaled his readiness to act."No need," Liang Tiancheng replied, his voice firm. "There are still four other Five Star Sects ranked below you. Stay in your seat, show your attitude as a supreme power holder."Zhou Wen nodded, accepting the order with humility. Although his desire to advance was strong, he still respected his leader's decision.With thi
Ten Minutes to Triumph.
"Look, Li Yong from Xuehua Academy. Are you going to face me with the Sacred Heart Sword move?" asked Bao Xuan in a calm tone, yet there was a mocking tone in it.He fanned his sweaty body, his face showing a hint of fatigue from the previous fight.The presence of the two geniuses of the Five Star Sect was indeed quite draining for Bao Xuan, although he still tried to maintain his imperious appearance.Then, Bao Xuan clapped loudly, and suddenly a man emerged from the crowd. The man looked unknown, but he was carrying a bottle of water and a pill. The imperial officials standing around the stage allowed the man to approach Bao Xuan without hindrance.With a sly smile that expressed satisfaction, Bao Xuan accepted the drink and pills. After taking a sip, he calmly said to Li Yong,"Is Young Swordsman Li Yong willing to give me ten minutes to recover energy? Isn't it tantamount to cheating if you win a fight without giving your opponent a chance to recover after fighting twice in a row
Fan and Shadow Clash.
All eyes were fixed on the stage as the excitement grew.The screeching sound of the demon skull's claws caused a strong wind to whip up, adding to the tension in the air.White smoke billowed out with a choking tension, covering the battle area like an icy fog covering a frozen landscape.Amidst the mist, there was no sound of Bao Xuan howling in pain, as if he was untouched by Wei Qiang's attack.The silence added to the anxiety in the hearts of the audience, making them wonder:"Is Bao Xuan really that tough? Even Wei Qiang of the Black Shadow Sect couldn't defeat him in ten moves?""Let's hope that at the end of this attack, Wei Qiang will come out victorious!"The audience prayed silently, full of worry.Bao Xuan's extremely confident actions earlier had planted a seed of doubt in their minds. The roar of the crowd filled the air, adding to the tension and anticipation of the outcome of this fight.Just then, the cold winter wind blew, the white smoke from Wei Qiang's attack bega
Bao Xuan Sang Roque Cultivator.
The contest rules prohibiting a fight to the death no longer mattered to him. His resolve was made—if necessary, he would drag Bao Xuan into the abyss of death together."In that case, prepare to die!" shouted Jiang Hui, his voice echoing, shaking the arena filled with spectators. His sword flashed, slashing through the air with unimaginable speed, as if about to split the sky.In an instant, a sword beam emitting silver light spread across the entire stage, forming a powerful vortex of energy. Snow flakes flew out, blown by the sharp gusts of wind caused by his sword movements, creating the illusion of a blizzard enveloping the entire arena.However, as the sword light and snow flakes faded, and the rumbling sound that resembled crashing waves subsided, Bao Xuan was still standing tall in the center of the stage.His body did not flinch in the slightest. His face remained calm, even looking a little bored. His handsome face exuded a haughty air, while the faint smile that graced his
The Meeting of Dragons Begins – Part II.
If only there wasn't a rule prohibiting the Five Star Sect from competing with the Four Star Sect, the geniuses of the Five Star Sect might have already stepped onto the stage to humiliate Jiang Hui who was now standing arrogantly before everyone.When everyone was almost certain that Jiang Hui would win the Dragon Meeting for geniuses of the Four Star Sect, suddenly a shadowy figure flashed at an incredible speed, difficult for ordinary eyes to follow.In an instant, a young man was standing on the stage, stealing the show with his striking appearance.The young man looked like a descendant of nobility, no more than twenty years old. He wore a soft blue tunic with intricate patterns, showing his status and wealth. The long jacket that covered his heels was made of selected silk, flowing gracefully in the cold winter wind, adding a sense of elegance to his figure.His face was handsome, but a sardonic smile was clearly etched on his lips. He wore the typical skullcap of an imperial of
The Meeting of Dragons Begins.
As they spoke, the crowd around them intensified, and the sound of the gong resounding three times signaled that the "Meeting of Dragons" event was about to begin."The Dragon Meeting is about to begin!" whispered Ouyang Fai enthusiastically, his voice almost drowned out by the noise.Amidst the hustle and bustle, the sound of heavy, echoing horse hooves began to sound from the direction of the imperial palace. The sound grew closer, distracting everyone's attention.When the anticipated figure appeared, there was a moment of silence, only to be broken by the crowd's amazement.A war knight clad in silver armor, which shone in the sunlight, appeared gallantly on a pure white horse like snow.The horse's steps were slow but steady, adding an aura of majesty to the scene. The horse, more surprisingly, had wide wings that looked shiny, adding a magical and mysterious feel to the whole appearance."Suiji Ma!" "Sembrani Horse!" shouted several people in the crowd, their voices full of admi
Surprise after surprise.
Eadric Rong watched the man standing in the center of the crowd with a sharp gaze. The man looked majestic and imposing, surrounded by Golden Sword Sect disciples marching in a respectful manner.Amidst the echoing cheers and shouts from the audience, Eadric Rong remained calm, unperturbed by the crowd around him. The sounds of applause and cheers praising the Golden Sword Sect blended together, creating a very festive atmosphere on the field."Is he the so-called Leader Shen Yutian, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect?" asked Eadric Rong inwardly, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every detail of the man's appearance curiously.Shen Yutian stood in an authoritative manner among his disciples, wearing robes that seemed to glow with a golden color under the light of the crescent moon.The robe, though similar in design to the Taoist Priest's clothing, was made of fine silk that drifted gently around his body, adding a sense of luxury.His hair was neatly combed up, forming a bun that was hel
Arrival of Invited Guests.
In the invited guests' quarters of the Jin Shuang Imperial court, the atmosphere was suddenly tense as the Black Shadow Sect Leader, Gong Fang, appeared. The oppressive aura he spread pervaded the air, making everyone present feel a tense pressure.Everyone's gaze was instantly lowered, crushed by his dominant presence.However, the oppressive aura soon faded.Suddenly, a well-dressed man in a dark blue velvet robe appeared with a confident stride."Xue Hua Academy," "Isn't that martial arts academy leader Xue Hua?"Whispers ensued, and all the spotlight instantly moved to the newly arrived figure, who was called from Xue Hua Academy.Apparently, the appearance of this newly arrived figure, although not much different in age from Gong Fang, but his young-looking face, like a young man in his twenties, exudes an alluring charisma.His dramatic appearance caught everyone's attention.As a newcomer to the Jin Shuang Empire, Eadric Rong was clearly confused by the names of the night's cel
Arriving at Capital.
Eadric Rong made the long journey on foot to Xuefeng Du Town, spending nearly two months on the winding, challenging roads.He deliberately chose the grueling overland journey, using every opportunity to practice the Ferris Wheel Sword Art and meditate in an attempt to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level.However, no matter how hard he tried, every attempt ended in vain, as if there was an invisible wall blocking his progress."I really need to get Zhen Long Pills to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level," Eadric Rong muttered to himself as he stood before the East gate of Xuefeng Du City.The towering city fortress, painted in a faded gray-white color, stood firmly in front of him. The road above the fort was lined with soldiers on patrol, creating a haunting atmosphere but at the same time providing a sense of security for the townspeople.One of the soldiers guarding the entrance, a man with a hard face and a sharp gaze, glanced at Eadric Rong."Daozhang,
