Inside the Night Shadow Building

Inside the Night Shadow Building—a separate structure from the Lucky Koi Hall—Eadric Rong sat before Lord Ma Hu and Du Shui.

The opaque light from the lantern swaying in the corner of the room, combined with the lack of sunlight trying to break through the latticed windows, gave the room a sense of mystery. The scent of burning sandalwood incense wafted through the air, adding to the tense atmosphere.

Eadric Rong's face looked serious, and in his hand was a piece of paper containing very shocking information about the martial world.

"How could I forget about the Sect meeting I promised Yan Huansheng—the Leader of the Five Colors Organization?

Isn't the scheduled meeting on the night of the first Full Moon in early fall? That means two days from now?"

Eadric Rong tapped his forehead, realizing his oversight. His face creased slightly as an epiphany struck him. The question that had been lingering in his mind answered itself.

"So... those strange figures

    The once majestic temple building now looks shabby with cracked walls and a leaking roof. The statues of the gods inside are dusty, and many are broken.The only large statue left undamaged is that of Chenghuang, or the City God.The night breeze blew softly, and the sound of dry leaves rustling on the temple floor could be heard.The smell of dampness and wet soil filled the air, adding to the sense of sadness as the rain fell heavily.In a corner of the Lingguang Temple, several black cultivators sat in groups, pressed close together under the dim light of a small bonfire.As the air grew colder and the light of the bonfire began to fade, a shadowy figure stood in front of the shrine. It stood with its back to the dim moonlight, and its shadow extended into the shrine, looking mysterious."Who's there? Is it a brother from the black sect who will attend our sect's grand meeting?" The voice of a cultivator rang out from the small group sitting under the statue of Chenghuang, who was

    The cloth covering two of the ten bodies was suddenly revealed."Hiii!" cried a woman with a trembling voice."Horrible!" said a middle-aged man as he squinted his eyes."I want to vomit!" hissed another citizen, suddenly turning his face away and vomiting.The appearance of the two exposed bodies was creepy. Their bodies were split and swollen.But Eadric Rong stared seriously, his eyes narrowed."Wudang Sword Art!" he thought in disbelief.However, as if there were a cold wind nipping at his back, Eadric Rong began to consider another possibility: whether it had anything to do with the Black Stream Sect's big meeting at Lingyun Peak tomorrow night.Even so, he tried to maintain a positive mind, trying to imagine that these slain figures were just ordinary travelers."Isn't the Wudang Sect a white sect? They shouldn't have intervened so cruelly," he said in a tone of astonishment.Eadric Rong was about to continue his diatribe against the mercilessness of the killing when his keen ea

    The Night of the Full Moon in Early FallThe Sacred Tomb Sect is located in a hidden corner of a mysterious forest in the Wriston Empire, not too far from the capital.This place has a rare and mysterious aura, making it seem hidden from the eyes of the outside world.In the haunted Xiang Forest, the landscape is filled with giant oak trees that are hundreds of years old.Their massive, sturdy trunks soar high into the sky, and their dense leaves create a green canopy that is almost impenetrable to sunlight.When the night breeze blows, the sound of leaves crunching and branches rubbing together adds to the mysterious and eerie atmosphere.There is a sacred cemetery in Xiang Forest that is also hundreds of years old.It is so ancient that many people are reluctant to pass through Xiang Forest if they want to go to other cities around the capital. The cemetery is surrounded by horror stories and legends, which only heighten the caution of passersby.But on this night, Xiang Forest was

    The receptionists—the young members of the Hell's Tomb Sect—all gasped.Their faces paled. "If that ice sword attack had been aimed at us, wouldn't we all be dead?" they thought, fear lingering in their hearts.However, they no longer had to worry about Bing Xin Mo.In one fell swoop, his body disappeared, leaving only a white-colored shadow that flashed into the passage leading to the bowels of the earth, where the Hell's Tomb Sect was located.+++Traveling into the bowels of the earth, where the Hell's Tomb Sect was located, was like taking a scary tour.The oil lamps and candles that clung to the mossy hallways and damp soil emitted a foul smell.The wind blew with a thick, death-like scent, harmonizing with the sound of water dripping down the walls of the long passage into the depths of the earth.Every step seemed to lead them deeper into a world filled with mystery and danger.At the end of the road, there was a large village whose buildings were made of stone.

    "Hahahaha! Since when did the Hell's Tomb Sect become the Black Bat King's pet dog? It seems... you, this old man surnamed Xie, still want to curry favor with that Black Bat King."Why? Are you still convinced that your lord, the ugly bat, is dead? Do you still want to deny reality?" With a mocking voice, Bing Xin Mo taunted the leader of the Hell's Tomb Sect."Bastard! What do you mean by saying the Black Bat King is dead? Don't speak out of turn. Tonight's grand meeting was all organized by our leader, the Black Bat King!"Xie Wuming stared intently at Bing Xin Mo, his breath sounding ragged. His eyes flashed, and his anger surged.An aura of hostility instantly swept through the room, feeling like a bone-chilling cold wind.However, as if unafraid, Bing Xin Mo continued to insult him."Why are you foolish humans still denying the death of your lord? You are busy with grand gatherings, not noticing that the tide of war is about to begin."The white sect has already attacked, while y

    The atmosphere suddenly froze as the voice echoed out, challenging the power of the Ice Heart Demon—Bing Xin Mo. All eyes were fixed on the two figures standing at the doorway of the cave, the entrance to the Sacred Tomb Sect's compound.They were a married couple who looked about sixty years old.The husband, despite his aging face, wore clothes that made him appear like a young man of twenty. His muscles protruded from underneath his tight-fitting clothes, showcasing his tall and well-built physique. His face was grim and cruel, while his white hair was left unbound.The wife, on the other hand, looked very presentable. Her snow-white hair was styled with clips, forming a neat bun on top of her head. A gold bun adorned with pearls added contrast to her aged and wrinkled face, which was still enhanced with heavy cosmetics."Who are these two crazy individuals?" whispered a cultivator in the crowd."They dare to challenge the Ice Heart Demon? Are they seeking death?" added another in

    An old man wearing a red robe chimed in, "That's it, Zhu Hou is too arrogant. She should be taught a lesson."Another female cultivator, in a sarcastic tone, added, "She thinks she can defeat Bing Xin Mo with her dirty tricks? How naive.""Damn, shameless grannies!" screamed a black stream cultivator, a twenty-year-old young woman. Her face flushed with anger, her eyes flickering with disgust."The old woman has no morals!" shouted an older woman in red. From the start, she had hated Zhu Hou. "Why doesn't she cover her chest?"However, their commotion did not focus on Zhu Hou for too long.Snapping sounds rang out from the arena as Zhu Wang, the Spider King, looked enraged. He pounced on Bing Xin Mo with a shiny black sword, which clearly contained a very strong poison.When Zhu Wang's sword struck toward Bing Xin Mo, a pungent odor wafted everywhere, making the cultivators near the arena feel dizzy."Watch out... Black Spider Venom!" shouted a young cultivator, his eyes wide with fea

    However, just as a sense of pride overflowed in Bing Xin Mo's chest and cultivator hysteria filled the atmosphere, a voice suddenly spoke in a cold tone. The voice was scornful, but it was so loud that it overpowered the commotion.The sound was piercing to the ears, like the night wind bringing bad news."Bing Xin Mo! Shameless old demon. Appointing himself as the leader of the black sect... when in fact this Bat King is still alive!"BAM!The commotion among the cheering cultivators instantly turned into silence. Even if a single hair fell, it would have been clearly heard. The air that had been filled with excitement now felt heavy and oppressive.The voice spoke in a soft yet threatening tone, sounding like a whisper in the ears of every cultivator. They all got goosebumps, imagining how powerful the person speaking was."Insolent! Who are you? If you're a man... let’s not hide! Show your face, and we’ll fight to determine the truth of my words! Don’t dare to speak furtively like

    When night falls, he lights a bonfire in the cave to keep warm. The air in the ocean at night is very cold.The sea breeze was blowing so hard that an ordinary person would have shivered. But not Eadric Rong.He sat by the fire, enjoying the warmth while listening to the sound of the crackling flames dancing before his eyes, and chanting the sword arts of the various sects.If he had memorized the contents of a Book, Eadric Rong would immediately burn the copies."So that no one can take advantage, if I am captured or die at the hands of the hunters from the white sect!" his eyes flashed as he saw the copy of the book or cloth that he had memorized consumed by the fire.Eadric Rong's work during the day was to explore the contents of the small island, looking for any trees that might be a source of food. But after two days on the small island, all he got was disappointment."Apart from the fresh spring water, all the plants here are not those that produce edible fruits.I don't know w

    The haunted-looking man who was the leader of the royal army appeared to descend, accompanied by Priest Gu, the leader of Sanqing Temple. The two stopped in the middle of the steps, and spoke seriously."Please let me know if the young priest you told me was on leave returns. I am waiting at the Tangye City Mayor's residence. Thank you for your cooperation, Priest Gu," said the Commander in a firm voice.Eadric Rong's heart was beating fast.His cover was probably already in danger of being blown. However, he continued to beat his begging bowl, acting like a real beggar, hoping no one would suspect him.As the warlord passed by where Eadric Rong was begging, he took a quick glance, and saw on Eadric Rong's back was a sack that he was carrying."Young beggar... come here. I have some alms for you!" the warlord said in an authoritative voice, his eyes narrowed as if trying to judge whether this young man was really a beggar or just disguised.Eadric Rong stiffened, but he kept his expre

    Suddenly..."The Royal Army will check the Sanqing Temple. It is suspected that he is hiding there. The temple is deserted, rarely visited by pilgrims. It's perfect for a man like him to hide in!"The last mouthful of roast meat was stopped, as Eadric Rong's hand still tightly clamped the last piece of meat. The delicious aroma of the roast that had been tempting was now bitter in his nose.Unconsciously, Eadric Rong glanced at the three men dressed up as merchants.However, from their movements and sharp eyes, he guessed that they were cultivators, no matter which sect they belonged to."Why must the royal troops come at the same time as us? We should finally give them a chance to inspect the Sanqing Temple first!" whispered one of them in an annoyed tone.Eadric Rong immediately felt bad. The peach blossom wine instantly tasted sour and tasteless on his tongue. He lost his appetite, and his once hungry stomach now felt nauseous.Immediately after settling the bill, Eadric Rong hurri

    When he stepped foot in the lobby of Villa Full Moon, suddenly dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him, scanning him from head to toe. Their gazes were sharp and alert.Eadric Rong paused, as he felt the aura of a high-ranked cultivator emerge from the bodies of the dozens of strangers staring at him.He felt even worse after seeing the sudden arrival of thousands of imperial troops, and now there were dozens of experts he didn't recognize, who didn't know where they came from, and what was their purpose in Tangye?But Eadric Rong pushed the negative thoughts away from his mind, calming his turbulent heart.Amidst the spying eyes of strangers, he thought to himself, "No one will know that I am the new figure behind the Black Bat King!" he thought to himself, now smiling slightly."After all, isn't it the case that with this level of cultivation, I can hide my cultivation realm, and not be read by anyone?" he thought, confident in his abilities.After composing himself for a moment

    Isaac Zhang's face changed, but he could not hide the satisfied smile there. The scent of silver and gold coins spread from the ebony chest."Leader Gao is too modest. There is no need to bother with this kind of tribute. It is your duty as the leader of the martial world to help the Zhonglu Sect," he said in a humble tone, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.He forgot that as a religious leader, he should not appear greedy. His wide smile and small laugh momentarily revealed a human side of him that is rarely seen.+++In the quiet and uncrowded Tangye City, Eadric Rong's life was very comfortable.Every day, he led an interesting and secretive double life. During the day, he lived disguised as a simple priest, tending to the temple and performing the duties of an auxiliary priest.At night, however, he transformed into a different person. Quietly, he would take a boat or bamboo raft to the middle of the ocean to practice martial arts, letting himself get lost in the pressing less

    This time, the break-in at the Library on Zhonglu Mountain wasn't as exciting as the incident on Yunyue Mountain, when the Silver Moon Sect's library was vandalized.Nonetheless, this incident has left many people uneasy.As a result, that very morning, Gao Li, the leader of the Zhonglu Sect, was seen climbing the peak of Wudang with furious steps. Behind him were several Zhonglu Sect disciples carrying a sizable chest, which was carried by two people.The sun had just risen, its light softly shining on the mountain ridges, creating long shadows along the path Gao Li and his followers traveled.At the sect gate, Gao Li was greeted by the guardian disciples on the steps up to the peak of Wudang. With a tense face and an unfriendly expression, Gao Li only answered their greetings with a brief nod, without a word."What's wrong, making Leader Gao's face look grim?" one of the disciples whispered to his colleague."He didn't even answer our greetings... it's fortunate that his figure is a

    Intentionally, as if caught by the patrolling Zhonglu Sect troops, he made those with high body lightening skills jump onto the ridge and performed a chase action on top of the Zhonglu Sect's ridge.Teng-teng!A clanging sound rang out, creating a stir in the Zhonglu Sect."After him, book thief!" "He just came out of the library, breaking into our sect's martial arts!"Noisy voices could be heard behind the Black Bat King; he just sneered the whole time. Finally, when the Black Bat King arrived at one of the ridges of an enormous building, he left his pursuers far behind.But at that moment, a deadly sword aura suddenly filled the atmosphere."Enough of your cat-and-mouse games, Black Bat King!"A middle-aged man stood upright like a needle in the corner of the building's vast ridge.In his hand was a sword that glinted in the moonlight, giving off a majestic yet terrifying impression. In a low but firm voice, the figure spoke."Return our Zhonglu Sect's martial arts book that you st

This event created a huge wave in society, causing whispers and discussions everywhere.Stories of the Black Bat King breaking into the library at Yinyue Peak were increasingly being told.Through word of mouth, the story continued to evolve, adding color and detail that fascinated listeners.In restaurants, tea houses, and various entertainment venues throughout the Wriston Empire, storytellers and traveling artists even openly performed operas about the Black Bat King's magic, vividly portraying how foolish the Silver Moon Sect was that he defeated.When the opera was presented on stage, the melodious voices of the singers and the agile movements of the dancers depicted all the scenes perfectly, showcasing the extraordinary ability of the Black Bat King.The Black Bat King was finally portrayed as a superhero, captivating many.Consequently, the White Stream side became even angrier.They continued to se

    The Black Bat King's hand stretched out, pushing the window with a smooth motion that made no sound. The wooden latticed window covered in Hanzi paper suddenly turned to dust, as if touched by a supernatural force.Inside the Silver Moon Sect's library, an atmosphere of silence prevailed. The Black Bat King climbed the stairs with light steps, heading toward an old bookcase labeled "Secrets." The scent of dusty old books and weathered wood filled the air, creating a mysterious aura.He lit the lighter and began to scrutinize title after title of the Silver Moon Sect's copy of the Book of Knowledge. The small light from the lighter cast shadows on the wall, adding to the dramatic feel."Where is this Silver Shadow Sword Dance Style, one of the Silver Moon Sect's most deadly techniques, hidden?" he murmured, his sharp eyes scanning each book carefully.He searched for a long time but had yet to find the sword technique he wanted. The Black Bat King was nearly desperate.Just then, a par
