The breeze carrying the aroma of grilled meat mixed with the scent of wine filled the room, adding a sense of warmth to the tense atmosphere.

Every word that came out of Mr. Bao's and the other guests' mouths made the atmosphere more lively, full of hooks, and added to the suspense.

"So, who do you think is behind all this? How can you speculate on this? You didn't see the events yourself!" someone asked in a curious tone.

Putting on an offended face, Mr. Bao replied with a tense expression, his face flushed slightly with emotion. "I know. The answer is, of course, the Sects of the Black Sect!"

"Why, hasn't there been peace in the Yue Chuen Empire for centuries? How could a black sect want to ruin the peace in the martial world?"

Isn't that breaking a treaty hundreds of years ago?" asked another person in a tone full of confusion, his eyes showing deep concern.

Everyone had tense faces. The atmosphere in the room was suddenly quiet, only the sound of slightly held breath could be hear

    They appeared with clean faces and full of confidence; it was obvious that they were the genius disciples of the White Sect. Each of them held a sword that shone sharply in the morning sun.Eadric Rong smiled slightly..."Hm... Ferrin Teng, Torek Da, and Faelin Fen... the three main geniuses of the Wudang Sect's most genius disciples. What are you guys stalking me for?""Or... maybe you guys are short of work, stalking an insignificant figure like me!" Eadric Rong's tone sounded sneering, responding to the appearance of the three Wudang Sect geniuses in the middle of the Osmanthus Forest.Although angry at the jibe, the three young men looked confused.They looked at each other, their faces showing strange expressions, as it was obvious that they did not recognize Eadric Rong. However, why did the little priest they were following know them?The fall wind blew, making the osmanthus leaves accumulate more and more on the ground."Who are you? How do you know the names of the three of u

    Ferrin Teng and Torek Da's faces turned ugly when they saw that the young priest they looked down upon possessed unexpected intelligence.In fact, the priest was able to execute a rare swordsmanship—Chun Yang Jian Fa (Pure Sun Swordsmanship)—that was only taught directly by the Sect Leader to selected disciples."Where did that ugly priest learn the Chun Yang Jian Fa?" This question swam in Ferrin Teng's mind, instantly igniting a deep sense of jealousy within him.Having long been appointed and handpicked to be the Wudang Sect Leader's direct disciple, he had never been taught this Chun Yang Jian Fa.When he saw the young priest mastering the knowledge he so coveted, his heart was wrung with jealousy and distrust.However, Torek Da broke his reverie and reacted quickly, causing Ferrin Teng to realize who the little priest was."You... you..." Torek Da stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief. "I know who you are! Aren't you the traitor Eadric Rong, who fled with Priest Zhang Qing Nian

    With a quick movement, Eadric Rong made a defensive move using the osmanthus tree branch that happened to be in his hand.He thought he would surprise the two genius disciples of the Wudang Sect. Unfortunately, Eadric Rong didn't know that Taiji Yinyang Jian Fa was the latest sword style created by the Wudang Sect Leader.In this Taiji Yinyang Jian Fa, there are many unexpected moves that are a combination of many dangerous sword techniques.In addition, this sword art is gentle yet deadly when used in formation by at least two experts.The result was fatal.KRAK! KRAK!The sound of dry twigs breaking was heard, followed by Eadric Rong's sleeve being torn off from the successive stabs executed by Ferrin Teng and Torek Da. A shocked expression immediately appeared on his face."Doggone it!" hissed Eadric Rong. He really didn't expect two Wudang Sect disciples with cultivation realms below his to be able to make such a surprise attack.Eadric Rong's body instantly jumped in a somersault

    "A Fengren rank sword?" Ferrin Teng asked, narrowing his eyes.He knew that it was a very good sword. However, to use it against the Jian Fa's Taiji Yinyang Formation? "Just a little lucky runaway disciple, and he thinks he can win this fight? He's dreaming too high!"In Ferrin Teng's mind, although he thought it was impossible for Eadric Rong to win the battle against their sword formation, his jealousy deepened. His eyes were locked on the Dragon & Phoenix Sword in Eadric Rong's hand."If I manage to eliminate this poor Eadric Rong, won't that Fengren sword be mine? This is just what the ancients said... 'Once rowed, two or three islands are crossed!'"Unconsciously, Ferrin Teng's face revealed a vicious smile."How lucky! I'm going to get a copy of Yang Jian Fa's Chun Style from that rotten kid, as well as possess a sword at the Fengren level!"At that moment, Ferrin Teng's eyes shone even more greedily. The thought of learning the Chun Yang Jian Fa Style, along with possessing a F

    Meanwhile...Torek Da's fate was no less unfortunate than Ferrin Teng's. Torek Da even fell over while rolling, having already let go of his sword, unable to bear the pain from the clash of swords.Ten breaths passed, and Ferrin Teng and Torek Da slowly stood up, enduring their pain. The swords in their hands had been dislodged, and the only option left was to use empty-handed martial arts.Even so, Ferrin Teng's arrogance had not disappeared. He threatened Eadric Rong with a sneer."Rotten boy! Don't think that after defeating the two of us, you'll be safe. In fact, you should be grateful and give your life to both of us.""And yet... it seems you have chosen the path of violent death." While flashing a vicious smile, Ferrin Teng raised his hand, revealing something suspicious in his grasp.Eadric Rong squinted, trying to guess what Ferrin Teng's words meant."Because of your stubbornness, well... I have no other choice!" Ferrin Teng threatened.With an unexpected move, Ferrin Teng s

    ARC: Donghai Sea Event.Since that incident, the White Sect sects have grown increasingly angry, especially the Wudang Sect. The Sect Leaders and Deputy Sect Leaders were consumed with rage, and war broke out between the two opposing sects.---It all started when three carts carrying the bodies of the three Wudang Sect geniuses appeared at the foot of the mountain, right at the gate, brought by the Milky Eagle Expedition party.It was already dusk, and the mood was gloomy as twenty Elang Sakti Expedition officers were detained at the foot of the mountain.Among the rustling leaves of the Mulberry Forest, the Wudang Sect disciples shouted reprimands at the twenty expedition members."Stop!" shouted one of the Wudang Sect disciples in a loud voice. "What are you carrying?"Dozens of Wudang Sect disciples lined up neatly in white Daoist-style uniforms, their swords drawn, emitting a sharp gleam that made the twenty expedition officers shiver with fear."Forgive us, we're just delivery m

    The atmosphere turned tense as the sword aura emitted by the two newcomers—Caleb Yan of the Wudang Sect and Master Gao Li of the Zhonglu Sect—began to be felt.These two, the deputy leader and the sect leader, respectively, from the realms of late-level Golden Lotus Swordsmen and Jade Dragon Quasi Swordsmen, exuded a tension that could not be ignored.In one breath, the two newly arrived figures had immediately surrounded the Black Bat King. They stood at attention in a battle stance.As the tension quickly reached its peak, the air around them felt heavy and oppressive."You have no more chances to escape!" Master Gao Li of the Zhonglu Sect's voice sounded cold yet firm. His hand already grasped a sword that glittered in the moonlight."I heard you have a spare life!" Gao Li, the leader of Zhonglu Sect, continued."Once dead at the hands of the two deputy sect leaders of Kunlun and Hua Shan in the Gobi Desert, yet you lived again!" Gao Li continued in a mocking tone, "Today, I will m

    Sparks of lightning and the rumbling sound of a hurricane suddenly erupted, following the powerful energy that rolled out from the Black Bat King's hand. The energy wave struck the air with devastating force, making leaves fly and the ground tremble.Gao Li's sword was already stabbing toward emptiness, but this sudden Wind and Lightning Palm attack launched by the Black Bat King startled Gao Li, forcing him to take a few steps back. His eyes widened as he realized the threat that came with such unexpected speed."Wretched! Khong Tong Sect's Empty Hand Art!" Gao Li's heart sank. "Not only does he know the sword arts of the Wudang Sect, but he’s apparently also an expert at executing the Khong Tong Sect's empty hand arts!"BAM!Gao Li's thoughts were interrupted as the dangerous attack launched by the Black Bat King's left hand suddenly slammed into his chest. His body was sent flying backward with great force, hitting the ground hard.What misfortune for Master Gao Li! He staggered fo

    Most put down as much as 50 gold tails for Zhou Wen's victory, believing that the young genius was invincible. However, with a faint smile, Eadric Rong put down some money for Bao Xuan's victory.The reproachful stares of bystanders did not shake his confidence. He just shrugged casually and said,"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if the whole city was betting on Zhou Wen's victory? Why don't we make it a little more balanced?"That answer, in a tone full of common sense, made several people who heard it nod in agreement.Some of those with more money eventually decided to follow Eadric Rong's lead, placing bets on Bao Xuan's victory, although the number in favor of Zhou Wen remained far greater.Finally, the long-awaited day arrived.The morning sun emerged from behind the horizon, its faint rays trying to penetrate the chill of the season, as if to give a little warmth to the sprawling Imperial grounds.The morning air was still lingering with coolness, creating a light mist that shro

    This thought made his heart beat hard. If true, wouldn't this mean that there were more intruders from the Tian Yu Empire among them, who mingled with the locals undetected?However, although his gaze scanned every corner of the crowd, Ouyang Fai did not find anyone suspicious. The anxiety in his heart slowly turned into deeper worry when his attention returned to the stage.There, a fierce battle was taking place. Bao Xuan faced off against Fang Rui, the number two genius of the Golden Sword Sect.Fang Rui, with his lightning-sharp sword, created a golden-colored energy scroll that spun at the speed of a hurricane.Each of Fang Rui's attacks was a deliberate attempt to penetrate Bao Xuan's defenses, which stood firm as a rock, protected by the Ocean Troubler Fan Style.Meanwhile, Fang Rui's demeanor showed great vigilance. His eyes kept an eye on Bao Xuan's left hand, knowing how deadly the Eight Hand God Style hidden there was.At first, the battle seemed evenly matched, two geniuse

    On the other hand, with his right hand, Bao Xuan spread his fan wide.SWING!The fan spun gracefully, emitting a rumbling sound similar to a raging ocean wave, as if bringing terror from the depths of the sea. The sound made the hairs stand up, and the vibrations were felt all the way to the bone.Suddenly, an invisible wall appeared before Bao Xuan, blocking dozens of Li Yong's sword thrusts that had previously seemed unstoppable.TRANG - TRANG - TRANG!The sound of the sword clashing with the energy wall was loud, deafening. Sparks ignited in the air, filling the atmosphere with a mesmerizing and thrilling sparkle.On the other hand, Li Yong's hands shook violently, almost losing his grip on his sword. Fear began to creep into his heart when he realized, "Bao Xuan's true energy power is far above mine!"Li Yong's face instantly paled, the realization of the opponent's greatness coming too late. However, the opportunity to retreat or defend was already tightly closed.Bao Xuan, calml

    "Long live Li Yong!" "Long live Xue Hua Academy!" "Cultivator Jin Shuang will definitely win!" "Get that intruder!"The thunderous cheers of thousands of spectators electrified the arena, relentlessly encouraging their hero, Li Yong. The voices were like an unstoppable ocean wave, filling the air with an energy that almost seemed to resonate in the chest of anyone who heard it.Amongst the roar, the sect leaders, both from the Four Star Sect to the Five Star Sect, only nodded slowly, as if victory was already entrenched in Li Yong's hands.Their gazes were full of confidence, as if there was no other possibility than the glory of Xue Hua Academy."Xuehua Academy is not a mere empty name! There's no way Li Yong can lose to that young man who's just a street cultivator like Bao Xuan!" Wang Yunzhong, the leader of Xuehua Academy, whispered softly.Although his voice was only a whisper, the true energy he used made his voice clearly audible throughout the main stage. His words cut through

  • 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
