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

    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 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    "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

    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

    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,
