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

    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 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

    "Should I be happy, or angry? The pill that the people of Jianghu are looking for in the Yue Chuen Empire, is actually being fought over here as the grand prize of the Dragon Competition!"Eadric Rong set down the tea bowl carefully, staring at the steaming golden yellow liquid. He waved his hand, calling out to the waiter who was busy serving other guests."Give me another pot of tea. Don't forget to sprinkle dried chrysanthemums on it..."The waiter soon left, and Eadric Rong went back to pretending to be busy with himself, though in reality, his mind was wandering, absorbing information he overheard from the conversations of the other diners in the twilight.Soon, Eadric Rong's order came, and he was back to enjoying steaming tea with the delicate scent of Chrysanthemums, soothing his restless soul."But, will those Zhen Long Pills really be able to help me, to break through all the bottlenecks, and overcome the rigidity of the meridians, due to the internal injuries I sustained mo

    However, how surprised Li Shangyin was when Master Rong suddenly raised his hand.In Master Rong's palm glittered an object that emitted a soft light, making Li Shangyin's face turn pale and his body tremble with fear."The Lucky Bracelet belongs to the Murong Family," Master Rong said in a firm tone, emphasizing every word.Instantly, the eleven people who had been standing in Eadric Rong's arrogant and threatening stance immediately fell to their knees, as if they had been cut down by a sharp cleaver. They bowed in resignation, repeatedly chanting the name "Lucky Bracelet" solemnly, their voices in unison full of fear.Eadric Rong, seeing the profound change in the situation, immediately stepped closer to Li Shangyin. With a decisive move, he grabbed the manager by the face and pulled him close."Now that you know who I am, are you still going to be arrogant?" Eadric Rong's voice sounded full of threat, and emphasis."I wonder what the Murong Family in Daqi City would do, if they kn

    Song Hui took out his dagger quickly and precisely.In one deadly stab, the still sleeping Eadric Rong had no time to defend himself. Blood immediately flowed, flooding the carriage and signaling the Talisman Master's silent end.In just ten breaths, there was a soft tap on the curtained window that separated the carriage room from the coachman's seat outside.Knock knock knock."Who is it?" asked Zhang Li, his voice full of curiosity. "Is it done?""I've taken care of everything. Don't worry," Song Hui replied in a casual tone. "I'll move to the seat beside you. I don't want to sit next to a corpse covered in blood!""Hop on, let's go to the front!" replied Zhang Li, gesturing towards the seat next to him.Not long after, Zhang Li felt the presence of Song Hui who suddenly appeared beside him. With nimble movements full of skill, Song Hui slid into the seat next to Zhang Li, as if floating silently."How was it? Any difficulties when finishing him off?" asked Zhang Li, fixing his gaz

    The horse-drawn carriage drove slowly through the rocky path uphill towards the summit of Lingxiao Mountain. The sound of the wooden wheels hitting the stone made a loud and eerie sound, as if inviting fear from the darkness of the night.At the top of the mountain, the air was getting colder, as if it was cruelly piercing the skin. The sky was still shrouded in the darkness of night, although on the horizon, morning light was beginning to appear, giving a slight hint of the coming day.Dhuan Jiexin watched enthusiastically as the train arrived from the north. His bright eyes seemed to glow in the dark night, showing how excited he was for the train's arrival."You've finally arrived," Dhuan Jiexin said, breaking the silence of the night. His voice betrayed a deep sense of satisfaction. "I was worried you guys wouldn't be able to get rid of that weak talisman master.""Ah, there's no way I can fail. I've done this job hundreds of times, so how could I fail this time?" the coachman rep

    Although his body-lightening skill had not completely vanished, Eadric Rong felt how the art was now sucking his energy greedily.Every time he practiced his light steps, his body seemed to be possessed by a gripping exhaustion. Without the reserves of Qi energy that had once been the source of his strength, he now felt fragile.Having only jumped down the cliff twice, Eadric Rong was already gasping for breath, his chest tight, cold sweat running down his neck. The fear was getting more and more gripping."I'm so weak!" he hissed, disappointed in himself.The forest of Lingxiao Mountain grew thicker, swallowing the remaining light. The once soothing sounds of nature now became menacing whispers. Eadric Rong realized that danger lurked in every shadow."The best way to avoid the assassins' pursuit is to take an unexpected route," he thought as he slipped between the shadows of trees and bushes that twisted like ghostly hands trying to reach him.His feet slipped on the slippery ground

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   Building in the Middle of the Lake.

    The man just looked on with a mixed gaze of astonishment and calm, impressed by Eadric Rong's skill.He immediately picked up a bamboo pole from the side of the boat and began to paddle with a steady rhythm, carrying Eadric Rong towards the mentioned island, while a gentle breeze swept across their faces.From a distance, the figure of Eadric Rong and the figure of the fisherman looked like gods walking on water, as their robes fluttered, and the loose sleeves undulated in the morning breeze.A moment later, they had arrived at the small island where the building stood majestically.The morning breeze blew gently, carrying the distinctive scent of wet soil and fresh willow leaves from around the lake. Faintly, there was the sound of rushing river water, making Eadric Rong wonder."Please wait while you enjoy your tea, Young Master. You can see for yourself, can't you? The river over there is flowing very fast. Traveling in these conditions is very dangerous!" said Fisherman Yang, his

    "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

    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,
