Although he was only a worker disciple, Eadric Rong had an instinct that he was currently dealing with people with evil intentions. Accustomed to being bullied in the Wudang Sect, Eadric Rong correctly guessed these people had bad intentions.

Humeng, the leader of the four thugs, laughed. He walked over and stroked his bald head.

"Haha... you're an arrogant kid. Not the slightest courtesy to your elders. No greetings, you know how to answer haughtily, as if you're a young master of a renowned clan! Looking at the clothes you're wearing, I'm guessing you're just a mere worker disciple, claiming to be the sect's top disciple, thus obtaining a sword loan from young master Errol Hou!"

Humeng's words were quite long, but Eadric Rong could already guess the end of the question.

Eadric Rong mockingly replied, "Let's just say that the four of you want to loot this sword I bought on credit, right?"

Seeing the four thugs stunned as if their intentions had been guessed, Eadric Rong laughed mocki

    Currently, in front of Eadric Rong is an evenly colored green landscape.That's the Cloud Pine Forest.On the right side, visible in the distance, was the towering Wudang Mountain Range, where the Wudang Sect stood. On the left side, the Zhonglu Mountains, where the Zhonglu Sect exists, can faintly be seen.It's a long distance, but a line of tall trees joins the two mountains.The scent of pine leaves drifted in, filling his lungs as Eadric Rong entered the Pine Cloud Forest.A mystical and somber atmosphere immediately enveloped him. He felt small as he walked under the canopy of pine needles, which looked like a green tapestry."May fortune be on my side. I am in debt to my kind master. There's no way I can let down his trust in me!"Eadric Rong was determined to get his quarry, which was just one demonic creature, no matter what.When it was dusk and the sky was reddening, he didn't see any forest creatures, and disappointment set in."Am I unlucky again? Why hasn't a single demon

    The sun was already directly overhead, and Eadric Rong was getting further into the heart of the Pine Cloud Forest. Since he had obtained the Pearl Core and his cultivation level was at the late Jade Tiger Level, Eadric Rong's instincts had become sharp."I smell the scent of an approaching demonic creature. It looks like this is a demonic creature in the Shadowclaw Tier," Eadric Rong hissed happily.There are eight levels of power for demonic creatures. Shadowclaw is a sinister creature whose combat power is at the lowest level.GRRR!In front of Eadric Rong stood a shaggy wolf. It was jet black.The demonic creature was about two meters tall. Its eyes blazed like the light of a night star, while its mouth was open, displaying pointed teeth with dripping saliva."Black Wolf, Shadowclaw level!" hissed Eadric Rong smilingly.The Xingying sword was instantly unsheathed.Eadric Rong's face didn't look scared in the slightest. Instead, he spoke with a sinister expression on his face. "Com

    "Hey, kid! That's our demon creature. Ever since Zhonglu Mountain, we've been hunting that Demon Wolf! Now you can leave; let us finish our work to extract resources from that thing!"A twelve-year-old teenager, looking ruffled at the waist.He wore a white robe, the typical uniform of a disciple of the Zhonglu Sect. As one of the largest white sects, the Zhonglu and Wudang Sect played an essential role in the Xiao Yao Dynasty. Both sects were located in the Wriston (Moon River) Kingdom.The Zhonglu Sect does have a strong influence, but the Wudang Sect is the leader of the white sect.The boy laughed mockingly with an undeniably haughty tone. However, he was not alone. Two of his friends, the same age as him, stood behind him, giving him support by acting cocky. They laughed, the smiles seemingly mocking Eadric Rong.In the hands of the three, the Xingying Tier swords glittered sharply in the sunlight. They tried to bully Eadric Rong, joining the intimidation attack that flashed thro

    "I suggest it again! Go, leave this place. Otherwise, you'll regret it later!"In such a moment of warning, the sword held by Jesper Jiang had been filled with energy. Likewise, the swords carried by Sun Peng and Gao Jie were filled with pure air.Their swords were pointed at Eadric Rong. A thin white vapor could be heard surrounding their bodies.This was a sword art, the Elementary Level Sword Formation, which was the pride of the disciples in the Zhonglu Sect court.However, Eadric Rong remained calm."Even if the three of them use the Sword Formation technique, I'm still confident," Eadric Rong thought. He directed ninety percent of the pure air from his energy center point to the Xingying sword in his hand. The entire sword changed color to shine.Seeing that the opponent they thought was just an ordinary disciple could actually flow pure air into his sword, Jesper Jiang gave instructions firmly."Looks like you have a bit of skill. Worthy of sparring against us! Now, feel the po

    The three Zhonglu Sect youngsters were unable to stop their attack. A wave of tremendous power suddenly hit their bodies, floating towards Eadric Rong.BAM!The three youngsters were bounced backwards, dragged about twenty meters backwards with a rustling sound as they dragged on the ground. They were slammed hard, causing vibrations as their bodies hit the rocks. With every rolling motion, there was blood flowing from their mouths.Hoeks!After that, silence fell. They lay motionless as if their lives were already facing the king of hell.Eadric Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead with a gasping breath. "I almost died. But if they didn't die, it would have been me!"He stared at the three frozen figures with a strange, haunting feeling. This was the first time Eadric Rong had been involved in a massacre. Unfortunately, this act was done out of necessity, and as such, a bit of guilt was settling in his heart."I must bury the three of them so that no one can detect them. If this is

    Eadric Rong's shadow quickly disappeared; this is between feeling embarrassed and a little offended.Tangshan City, although small, was, in fact, quite developed and prosperous. Moreover, two mountains—Wudang and Zhonglu—stood on the left and right sides of the city. On those mountains, renowned martial experts from all over the country practiced as Cultivators.Business transactions in the city were plentiful, and the trade in tools, weapons, and vigor pills was very popular.All these tools are easy to find in Tangshan, as long as you have the money.In front of the Twilight Dew Shop, Eadric Rong stood waiting for another customer transaction. The shop owner, Errol Hou, was serving the first customer.When the first customer left, Errol Hou gave Eadric Rong a friendly look. "Aren't you a child of the Wudang Sect? The teenager who owes me the Xingying sword. Was your hunt successful?"Errol Hou's question was whether Eadric Rong had managed to get the demonic beast quarry as he had p

    The sun had tilted to the west. The sky above the Cloud Pine forest looked reddish. The Zhonglu Sect elder - Celeste Chen, had been pacing back and forth in the area where the aura of the former battle between Eadric Rong and the three Zhonglu Sect children had been. It seemed that he was searching for something restlessly.His face was contorted, looking full of worry. "Wretched twelve. If something happens to Jesper Jiang, the deputy sect leader may be furious."Celeste Chen didn't initially agree that Jesper Jiang should join the Shadowclaw hunting mission in the Cloud Pine forest. He daydreamed, remembering the few days before today's incident."You don't need to come. This is not a playful mission. Hunting a tier-one demonic creature is extremely dangerous. It's life at stake!" Celeste Chen said to Jesper Jiang at the beginning of the group's departure.Elder Celeste Chen thought this Jesper Jiang kid was too rash.In all likelihood, the mission that was supposed to be looking fo

    Still thinking happily, he had not yet started meditating. "According to Elder Kyron Mo, the best time to gather energy is when the moon is full. It's said that it's the best time for the energy to match the pure air energy in my pearl core," Eadric Rong thought happily.The night breeze blew softly. Eadric Rong closed his eyes and began to absorb all the energy around him. Cold energy faintly stirred in his dan tian as the moonlight fell on his body. He didn't realize that he looked so mysterious and mystical!The night was getting late when Eadric Rong started shivering from the cold.At that moment, his dantian began to churn thoroughly and was about to burst with cold energy. Until one day, he complained softly, and his face resigned. At that time, an explosion occurred within his dantian, and all the energy would flow into the meridians.One minute... two minutes... and finally!An explosion occurred inside his body.Eadric Rong was wide-eyed when, at the same time as the explosi

    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

    Luckily, Eadric Rong had a special token given directly by Miss Murong Lin. He got a VIP seat located on the balcony, separated from the crowd.Meanwhile, the activities on stage began. A shadowy figure of a young girl appeared to move, dressed in a dazzlingly tight outfit."The Lucky Koi Hall Grand Auction is about to begin. We're going straight into the first auction!" A twenty-year-old girl stood on the stage. Special spotlights of special gemstones and gems were beamed at her, making her stand out, with a slender waist... seemingly swaying like the Yang Liu Tree in the spring breeze.The girl was named Liu Ningxi, a subordinate of Miss Murong the manager of the Lucky Koi.With her melodious voice, Liu Ningxi began to open the price...

The price starts at five hundred gold coins!"An uproar suddenly broke out. The sound of bargaining fille

    "Hey Zhaoyun!" someone shouted from the crowd."Who is that Hei Zhaoyun?" someone else whispered. "Why is his appearance so hideous?"The sound of the crowd watching was noisy. In the tense atmosphere, they wondered who the figure was who was now sitting on the coffin, staring coldly at the surroundings. A mysterious and sinister aura emanated from him, making the surrounding air colder.A moment later, the strange and eccentric-looking figure called Hei Zhaoyun suddenly stood up, as if the earth's gravity had no effect on him. In a stiff movement, he took a glance as if floating, and in an instant was standing in front of the receptionists."Y-your invitation, please show... M-Mr. Which Sect do you represent?" asked the greeter at the hall door in a trembling voice. The young man and young woman were already breaking out in cold sweat. Both wanted to stare at the strange man's figure, but they were terrified."Hei Zhaoyun of the Hell's Tomb Sect. Can I come in already?" asked Hei Zha
