The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Murder.
Eadric Rong was just about to fall asleep when his ears, trained as a high-level martial artist, caught the faint sound of footsteps on the ridge of the Hall of Fortune Koi.His instincts kicked in immediately, confirming that something unusual was happening around the normally quiet pavilion.“Even though my ability to exert true energy is being shut down, all my senses and instincts as a practitioner at the Golden Lotus level remain sharp and alert,” he thought, feeling his heartbeat steady despite the sudden tension.Carefully, Eadric Rong peeked through the window. He slowly opened it, letting in the cool night breeze and the faint, soothing scent of flowers.Under the dim moonlight, he saw a human figure moving with incredible agility, like a swallow flying across the night sky. The figure leapt from building to building with mesmerizing grace, barely making a sound."A hitman?" Eadric Rong hissed softly, his eyes narrowing as he observed more closely. The figure wore a tight, al
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Death of the Assassin.
"Who are you? Aren't you dead? How can you be alive again?"The assassin stared with widened eyes, confusion covering his face. He was not a believer in magic or black magic. To him, in this world, true power lay in the ability to master martial arts.There was no room for superstition in his hardened mind, full of combat logic.As the Talisman Master's figure walked slowly toward him, his every step seemed to echo in the silent night.The shadow of his tall body was clearly visible in the pale moonlight, adding to his haunting presence.The assassin quickly took out his dagger. The moonlight reflected off the blade, casting a sharp glow that confirmed his intent to fight."Don't come any closer!" he threatened with an unconcealable tremble in his voice, trying to recover his composure. "I am a fighter of the Golden Peacock Swordsman realm. A single wave of my hand can take your life!"However, although his threat sounded firm, hesitation was evident in his movements. Although he thou

Questions hung in the air: why was such a powerful assassin suddenly screaming in pain? What could cause someone so well-trained and deadly as him to suffer in such a way?The answer was surprisingly simple.Since just then, Eadric Rong, who looked calm in place, had grasped the most powerful illusory energy. An energy that could only be seen by his inner eye, but the impact was very real.As the assassin lunged at him with lightning speed, Eadric Rong calmly cast the illusion straight into his opponent's mind."Create the illusion of incomparable pain, and make it seem as if a long spear has pierced through his back, even through to the front!" he whispered while casting a magic spell.The instructions given by Eadric Rong were spoken with spiritual power.Armed with the knowledge from the Taoist Book on the art of creating dreams, and with his painting skills that make the details so perfect, the illusions he casts really feel real.The ninja, who had been trained for years to withs
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Procession That Made a Splash.
The prowess of the workers at the Lucky Koi Hall was indeed commendable; their movements were deft and skillful, as if Eadric Rong’s orders were part of their daily work.Paraphernalia such as coffins and horse-drawn carriages were immediately put in place, filled with flags and symbols of grief, to accompany the assassin.As the night went on, nothing surprising happened.The next day, as dawn still shrouded Lengyang City in a light mist, a horse-drawn carriage slowly made its way through the quiet streets.The quiet morning atmosphere was amplified by the piercing cold air, making the breath look like thin smoke.However, what caught the eye was the procession of Lucky Koi Hall’s bodyguards walking in an orderly fashion, their steps regular and full of honor.The regular tread of their feet, echoing along the streets like the sound of drums, added a haunting feel to the still sleeping city.From behind the slightly open windows and the deliberately left gaping doors, curious eyes pe

The enthusiasm that enveloped the crowd intensified, making the atmosphere tense. The look in their eyes, like hungry lions ready to tear the footman apart, put him on edge."B-well... I'll call Master Dhuan," the footman replied in a voice that was almost inaudible with fear.Without thinking, he ran quickly inside, leaving his broom lying on the ground. Behind him, the sound of the Lengyang City residents' applause echoed, as if giving Ming San support, and making the atmosphere even more dramatic.Time passed, about how long it took to gulp down a cup of tea. However, the figure he was waiting to meet—Master Dhuan—did not come out to meet Ming San and the guards from the Hall of Fortune Koi.The calmness that had once pervaded the atmosphere now began to feel tense, as if every second that passed magnified the tension in the air.Anxiety began to creep in among the growing crowd. Their curiosity made them impatient, eager to see the end of the mysterious drama that unfolded that mo
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Battle of the Two Halls – Part II.
Ming San's words instantly stirred the crowd.All eyes were simultaneously focused on the corpse that was still covered with cloth, as if they had just realized the presence of the object.Chaos soon ensued, and whispers of speculation and wild theories began to spread among the audience. The gossip was quick to make assumptions based on what they saw, creating an increasingly tense and mysterious atmosphere.Dhuan Jiexin's face turned bright red, the veins in his neck tense as anger rose.With a trembling voice, he shouted angrily, "You can't talk carelessly! How dare you accuse the Peacock Pavilion of sending this hitman! Where is the proof that I ordered that figure to visit your Master Guo?"His loud voice echoed in the courtyard, reflecting the burning anger within him. The audience fell silent for a moment, feeling the intensity of emotion emanating from Master Dhuan.However, Ming San was no ordinary man.Being a slick talker, he did not let this opportunity pass him by. Quickl
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The End of the Drama at the Peacock Pavilion.
With a sharp, piercing gaze, Master Guo walked slowly toward Dhuan Jiexin, his steps quiet as if they contained a veiled threat.Letika was close, Master Guo shook his head slightly, as if speaking in a secret whisper, yet the voice that came out of his lips was loud, clear, so that everyone in the room could hear his words clearly."Has Master Dhuan never heard of the technique of copying one's mind? Isn't it a simple, basic technique that spiritual experts can perform?" Master Guo's voice trembled elegantly. Yet there was a trace of mocking there.The previously quiet room suddenly became noisy with whispers."Mind copying technique? What does Master Guo mean?" whispered an old man in the front row, his voice trembling slightly."Is there really such a technique? It's terrible if it really exists!" added another.With a dramatic gesture, Master Guo raised his hand, his hand waving, creating a mysterious shadow.On the other hand, Dhuan Jiexin, who had been full of anger, now felt an
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Dragon Encounter Info.
The incident at the Peacock Pavilion was quickly forgotten, as if it was swept away by the spring breeze from the South, carrying the news far away from everyone's memories.The stories and rumors about the Peacock Pavilion's attack on the Hall of Fortune Koi, which were previously shocking, slowly faded away like the dew that disappears when the morning sun begins to shine on the earth. It was as if the event was just a faint shadow that appeared for a brief moment, then vanished without a trace.Now, everyone's attention was on the bigger and more shocking news of the Dragon Meeting that was about to be held in the capital city of Xuefeng Du.This was no ordinary event, but a grand gathering of martial arts experts and spiritualists from across the Jin Shuang Empire. Echoes of anticipation and excitement pervaded every corner of the city, from the bustling markets to the sect halls filled with disciples practicing hard to prepare.It is said that in this Meeting of Dragons, Emperor

"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

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
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,
