The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Jade Cloud Temple.
Teng - teng - tengThe night watchman in Tanshan City had just struck the gong loudly, signaling that it was 11 pm to 1 am. At the same time, Eadric Rong was engrossed in silent meditation, collecting the cool night air currents and cold moonlight, transforming them into vital energy in his body.His sharp ears were suddenly alert, hearing the sound of the footsteps of five martial experts walking carefully and silently.He opened his eyes and thought for a moment in the silence of the night. "Is it Edmon Ouwyang and his three friends?" he thought to himself.However, that question soon turned into deep doubt. "Shouldn't there be four of them? Why are there five footsteps?" thought Eadric Rong, filled with dangling question marks. He felt that something was wrong but couldn't be sure what it was.Before leaving the hall of the Jade Cloud Temple to find out who the five figures walking in the silence of the night were, there was a sudden bone-chilling snort from the Temple grounds."Yo

The night had fallen silent, and the moon in the sky seemed to glow like a ring of pure silver, surrounded by a dazzling halo.This scene gave a magical sparkle that made the sky appear beautiful and enchanting. However, this beauty was in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere of the Jade Cloud Temple.Under a Prem tree with leaves swaying in the night breeze, four shadowy human figures stood in a battle-ready stance. The dim moonlight reflected their shadows on the ground, creating an increasingly tense atmosphere.Three male figures dressed all in black seemed to surround a boy who was holding a sword firmly. The three black-clad adults stood in a ganging formation, ready to attack the boy standing in their midst.Nonetheless, the faces of the three black-clad adult male figures looked tense, filled with hidden worry and fear. This was evident when they saw their two comrades lying helplessly in the courtyard of the Jade Cloud Temple in a lifeless state.This was in stark contrast

The second sword!The second thirteen sword shadows chased after the figure of another black-clothed villain. A painful howl rang out, following which the figure of villain number two fell to the ground in a lifeless state. His body drooped limply, thick red blood flowing from his wound, seeping into the dry ground.Eadric Rong stared fiercely at the two lifeless figures of the villains and looked at the villain leader who was now on top of the three-meter-high fence of the Jade Cloud Temple.At that critical moment, the outlaw leader still had time to leer and revealed a mocking face towards Eadric Rong.The shadow in his eyes seemed to say, "Even if you kill four of my men, you can't kill me!" There was definitely a trace of contempt and condescension there.However, that happiness is only temporary.The outlaw leader was just about to turn his head to stare ahead when suddenly the shadows of thirteen swords lined up in a row approached his back."Die!" the villain shouted when he f

However, with a stammering and hesitant voice, Edmon Ouwyang tried to reply, "I... I... I don't understand what you're saying.”“Please don't speak carelessly," he said. His voice sounded nervous at first. But more and more, Edmon Ouwyang's tone sounded firm, as if he had regained his confidence.However, despite his bold words, Edmon Ouwyang did not dare to look Eadric Rong in the eye. He lowered his head, seemingly seeking protection from Eadric Rong's piercing gaze.The morning breeze rustled softly, bringing a chill that added to the frosty atmosphere between Eadric Rong and his four teammates. They stood in silence, as if time had stopped for a moment.After about ten breaths passed in silence, Eadric Rong finally spoke. However, his voice now turned slightly warmer, as if he was trying to melt the ice that had frozen between them."It's fine if you don't understand my words. Now we'd better hurry to the South, to complete the sect's task in Yunshui Chun Village!" said Eadric Ron

There was the sound of galloping horse hooves, approaching Edmon Ouwyang and his three companions. The sound was rhythmic, breaking the silence of the morning at the East Gate.The shadow of the horse looked dashing, white in color, with a mane that waved like the finest silk Edmon Ouwyang had ever seen.To complete the snow-white appearance of the horse, there was a dashing-looking teenage figure. He wore a Wudang sect robe that rustled every time the wind passed between his hands.The teenager's hand pointed with the sword in his hand. His voice was a loud scream, as with ghost-like speed, the Snow White Horse swooped down on Edmon Ouwyang, Fenwick Zhao, Callum Zeng, and Xavian Zou."Get out of the way! Eadric Rong, a Wudang Sect disciple, is about to go on a mission!" After making such a sound, as if not caring about Edmon Ouwyang and his three companions, Eadric Rong directly broke through the guard at the gate.Wush!The figure of Eadric Rong on the Snow White Horse shrank rapidl
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact In the Willow Forest – Part II.
The sky in the Western horizon had already begun to turn into a mauve color. Eadric Rong could be seen sitting in the shade of a lush willow tree.In front of him, the campfire was already burning merrily, providing much-needed warmth as the air in the Willow Forest began to chill with the falling twilight."My stomach is already starting to rumble. I haven't eaten at all since morning. Should I go hunting for animals to eat?" thought Eadric Rong.He then stood up, looking towards the north, the direction where Tanshan City was located."Why are those spoiled children taking so long? They're laughing at me for running behind them, while they themselves are moving like snails!" Eadric Rong thought with annoyance.In fact, a few hours ago, Eadric Rong arrived near the heart of the Willow Forest, intentionally waiting for Edmon Ouwyang and his friends. But until sunset, there was no sign of them coming.Eadric Rong is very good at hunting. He decides to search for prey in the middle of a

The sound was like the movement of a sword being slashed through the air, a whirring sound, where the wind of the attack was predictably the power of a Cultivator in the late-stage Jade Tiger Swordsman realm."Don't be arbitrary!" the swordsman shouted in a booming voice.He made a quick, sharp slash towards the huge fist poked by Demon Ape, while intending to take the lives of Fenwick Zhao and Callum Zeng, who were now sitting on the ground, resigned to death.DUAR!A loud explosion like thunder sounded when Demon Ape's fist met the tip of the sword in the hand of the warrior who helped them. The vibrations from the impact made the ground beneath them shake.As a result of the clash, a sound of pain rang out from Demon Ape's figure. The creature jumped backward with bloodied fists. Its howling sound was extremely loud, inspiring fear.Meanwhile, Fenwick Zhao and Callum Zeng were crying as they lamented their safety. "We are both safe. The heavens heard our cries and prayers!" said th
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Yunshui Chun Village - First.
Early morning in the Willow Forest...Without shame, Cao Shia and Callum Zeng immediately apologized. Just then, the sound of their stomachs rumbling loudly like an orchestra made the person who had helped them, Eadric Rong, turn around.The two teenagers already had a preconceived notion that Eadric Rong would definitely insult them, maybe even punch them.This was only natural, considering they were always provoked by Edmon Ouwyang to participate in bullying Eadric Rong.However, today, their lives were saved thanks to the help of Eadric Rong, the boy who was currently staring silently into their eyes.Eadric Rong's voice sounded cold as he asked in a tone full of falseness,"What are you saying? I didn't hear it!" Eadric Rong wore a flat expression. He hurriedly folded his hands, as if he were an old man wanting to hear a confession from his children."I - I..." Callum Zeng was unable to continue his words when his eyes met Eadric Rong's eyes. Callum Zeng was indeed a bit high-mind

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,
The Second Zircon Turtle.
That morning, fresh air enveloped the Sacred Heart Temple, and soft sunlight spread among the tall pine trees. Eadric Rong, with steady steps, asked the audience to meet the Head of the Temple, Priest Yin Fai.In the courtyard, Hanki, the Taoist disciple who often seemed busy, was sweeping attentively. However, the scraping sound of the broomstick on the ground and the dissatisfied murmur that kept escaping his lips showed that he was not in a good mood.When Eadric Rong arrived, Hanki was startled and almost dropped his broom."What are you upset about, disciple Tao?" asked Eadric Rong in a thoughtful tone.Hanki, surprised and his face changing instantly from an annoyed expression to a calmer one, replied with a forced cheerful look on his face."Ah, Teacher Tao Guo. You really took me by surprise. Actually, I'm grumbling because the leaves of this maple tree keep falling every day, piling up, and making me have to work harder..."Meanwhile, Hanki's hands continued to move, sweeping
Three Disciples, Three Legacies.
As time passed and he grew older, Juedai Jianren, who was estimated to be two hundred years old, decided to take three young children as his disciples.He then passed down his magic to them, each according to the natural talents of the three children.The first disciple, who was very fond of fighting, was given a cultivation book called the Book of Long Xuan Shu. This disciple turned out to have a very high cultivation talent, with pure energy so strong that it was hard to find a match.With an extraordinary ability to cultivate true energy, this first disciple effortlessly created martial arts style after style, becoming an extremely feared figure in the martial world (Jianghu).All the deadly sword arts and palm arts are contained in the book, making it both a dangerous and highly desirable legacy.Juedai Jianren's second disciple was someone who was deeply steeped in the art of healing. His deep interest in healing led his teacher, Juedai Jianren, to give him the Book of Heavenly H
Whispers Beneath Pine Shadows.
The refiner painstakingly gulped down the potion, and before long, his labored breathing began to sound more regular, albeit very weak."Are you okay?" asked Eadric Rong, his eyes looking full of worry.With a voice that sounded flat and weak, Refiner Zhou replied,"Young man, once again you saved me. However, this time everything is useless. My life will no longer be helped. I have only a few moments to live," he said, his breathing getting heavier and labored.As he spoke, Refiner Zhou's voice sounded very weak, like a whisper of wind that almost vanished into the silence of the night."You'd better stop talking, Mr. Zhou. If you continue to exert yourself, your injuries could get worse. Rest, let your body recover a bit," Eadric Rong said in a caring tone, his eyes looking at Refiner Zhou with deep concern.Refiner Zhou, however, gently rejected the suggestion. A faint smile was etched on his pale lips, as if he had already accepted his imminent fate."My life is running out, young
Bloodshed in Pine Shadows.
The long wait made Eadric Rong's heart even more uneasy. He just paced the courtyard of the Sacred Heart Temple, which was full of piles of fallen maple leaves.The leaves were scattered on the ground, creating a somber scene with a red-brown color."Teacher Tao Guo, what's making you uneasy?" asked Hanki, the Taoist disciple who had greeted him at the gate yesterday. Hanki was sweeping the courtyard that looked yellowed with a carpet of decaying maple leaves.The sound of the broomstick scraping against the ground could be heard crackling, adding to the anxiety that had already taken hold of Eadric Rong."I'm waiting for the old man who was with me last night. He left at night and hasn't returned yet," Eadric Rong replied as he glanced toward the gate, hoping to see the figure he was waiting for emerge from the shadows.Hanki's face was wide-eyed, his eyes widening as if he had just heard something very shocking. With an innocent yet curious face, he gave an answer that made Eadric R
Sounds of Battle on the Ridge.
However, as a pious Taoist, Eadric Rong chose to respond with kindness. A faint smile appeared on his face as he patted Blacksmith Zhou's shoulder, providing a sense of calm."No need to worry, Blacksmith Zhou. Let's go inside the temple and rest," Eadric Rong said gently, guiding Refiner Zhou to come inside the Sacred Heart Temple.Once they entered the guest room that the Taoist disciple had pointed out, they found that it was very simple. Inside the room, there was only one old bed that looked weathered, but everything was kept clean."Please lie down on this bed, and I'll sleep on the lounger here," Eadric Rong said in a humble tone, though he actually felt a little uncomfortable.Blacksmith Zhou immediately shook his head, unwilling to accept the offer. "I'm just a follower who happened to follow your journey.""You'd better sleep in this bed, young man. Even on the floor I can rest well," replied Blacksmith Zhou, insisting."Don't!" said Eadric Rong firmly, yet gently. There was
Sacred Heart Temple.
At that time, there were two main faiths practiced by the people of the Longhai Continent: Buddhism and Daoism. If in the Yue Chuan Empire, Daoism dominated and became the most respected faith, it was different in the Jin Shuang Empire.Here, the Emperor himself practiced Buddhism, so there are many magnificent Buddhist temples scattered at almost every important point in the city. Taoist temples, on the other hand, are rare, with only a few surviving.The Sacred Heart Temple was one of the remaining Daoist temples in the city, hidden in a corner of Baiyung Chen City. It was in a very unkempt state, it was obvious that no pilgrims had visited the place for a long time.The walls are cracked, and the once-bright paint is now faded with dust and moss.Eadric Rong stood in front of the tall, worn-out gate of the Sacred Heart Temple, knocking loudly on the round iron on the gate. It was already nighttime, and the surroundings were increasingly dim.There were very few oil lamps in the tem
Blacksmith Zhou – Part II.
He again bowed respectfully, this time more deeply, expressing his deep gratitude.Eadric Rong hurriedly stopped the old man's movements. He gently guided him to sit beside him, then offered him a piece of hard bread and cold water—the only food he had left.The old man accepted the food with trembling hands. After a few bites, the color of his face began to improve, and he began to speak."My name is Zhou Lianghua. I'm just a blacksmith who isn't famous. My purpose is to go to the capital to see the crowds. It's been a long time since I left the bustling world, and this time I want to have some fun. Who would have thought that on the way, I would catch a fever?" said Zhou Lianghua in a relieved tone, as if the burden he was carrying had been reduced.The moment Zhou Lianghua's name was mentioned, Eadric Rong felt something buzzing in his ears. He recalled a token—an item from the auction won by the Hell's Tomb Sect. That token was related to the name that was now in front of him."Zh
