Most of the disciples of these sects wear robes with the Yin & Yang logo, dressed like Taoists.As such, it was very difficult to recognize Eadric Rong in this appearance, except for those who knew him well and had seen his face in person during the Black Stream encounter near the Gobi Desert.While looking around the crowds on the streets in the evening, Eadric Rong sensed something was wrong."Why are there so many unfamiliar faces filling the streets of the city? Their appearance and way of speaking also sound different. They seem to have come from outside the city. What kind of phenomenon is going on?" he wondered.The habit of living on the run has made him always cautious. The presence of unfamiliar figures in the capital, most of whom have a fighter's aura, is a sign for him to be more careful.Suspicious of the unusual crowd, Eadric Rong decided to stop by the Koi Hall of Fortune. It just so happened that the building was located not far from where he was now.In an instant, t

Inside the Night Shadow BuildingInside the Night Shadow Building—a separate structure from the Lucky Koi Hall—Eadric Rong sat before Lord Ma Hu and Du Shui.The opaque light from the lantern swaying in the corner of the room, combined with the lack of sunlight trying to break through the latticed windows, gave the room a sense of mystery. The scent of burning sandalwood incense wafted through the air, adding to the tense atmosphere.Eadric Rong's face looked serious, and in his hand was a piece of paper containing very shocking information about the martial world."How could I forget about the Sect meeting I promised Yan Huansheng—the Leader of the Five Colors Organization?Isn't the scheduled meeting on the night of the first Full Moon in early fall? That means two days from now?"Eadric Rong tapped his forehead, realizing his oversight. His face creased slightly as an epiphany struck him. The question that had been lingering in his mind answered itself."So... those strange figures
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Genesis of the Lingguang Temple – Part II.
The once majestic temple building now looks shabby with cracked walls and a leaking roof. The statues of the gods inside are dusty, and many are broken.The only large statue left undamaged is that of Chenghuang, or the City God.The night breeze blew softly, and the sound of dry leaves rustling on the temple floor could be heard.The smell of dampness and wet soil filled the air, adding to the sense of sadness as the rain fell heavily.In a corner of the Lingguang Temple, several black cultivators sat in groups, pressed close together under the dim light of a small bonfire.As the air grew colder and the light of the bonfire began to fade, a shadowy figure stood in front of the shrine. It stood with its back to the dim moonlight, and its shadow extended into the shrine, looking mysterious."Who's there? Is it a brother from the black sect who will attend our sect's grand meeting?" The voice of a cultivator rang out from the small group sitting under the statue of Chenghuang, who was
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact The Hell's Tomb Sect.
The cloth covering two of the ten bodies was suddenly revealed."Hiii!" cried a woman with a trembling voice."Horrible!" said a middle-aged man as he squinted his eyes."I want to vomit!" hissed another citizen, suddenly turning his face away and vomiting.The appearance of the two exposed bodies was creepy. Their bodies were split and swollen.But Eadric Rong stared seriously, his eyes narrowed."Wudang Sword Art!" he thought in disbelief.However, as if there were a cold wind nipping at his back, Eadric Rong began to consider another possibility: whether it had anything to do with the Black Stream Sect's big meeting at Lingyun Peak tomorrow night.Even so, he tried to maintain a positive mind, trying to imagine that these slain figures were just ordinary travelers."Isn't the Wudang Sect a white sect? They shouldn't have intervened so cruelly," he said in a tone of astonishment.Eadric Rong was about to continue his diatribe against the mercilessness of the killing when his keen ea
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Hell's Tomb Sect - Part Two.
The Night of the Full Moon in Early FallThe Sacred Tomb Sect is located in a hidden corner of a mysterious forest in the Wriston Empire, not too far from the capital.This place has a rare and mysterious aura, making it seem hidden from the eyes of the outside world.In the haunted Xiang Forest, the landscape is filled with giant oak trees that are hundreds of years old.Their massive, sturdy trunks soar high into the sky, and their dense leaves create a green canopy that is almost impenetrable to sunlight.When the night breeze blows, the sound of leaves crunching and branches rubbing together adds to the mysterious and eerie atmosphere.There is a sacred cemetery in Xiang Forest that is also hundreds of years old.It is so ancient that many people are reluctant to pass through Xiang Forest if they want to go to other cities around the capital. The cemetery is surrounded by horror stories and legends, which only heighten the caution of passersby.But on this night, Xiang Forest was
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Art of Hell's Claw VS Art of Freezing Ice Heart – Part I.
The receptionists—the young members of the Hell's Tomb Sect—all gasped.Their faces paled. "If that ice sword attack had been aimed at us, wouldn't we all be dead?" they thought, fear lingering in their hearts.However, they no longer had to worry about Bing Xin Mo.In one fell swoop, his body disappeared, leaving only a white-colored shadow that flashed into the passage leading to the bowels of the earth, where the Hell's Tomb Sect was located.+++Traveling into the bowels of the earth, where the Hell's Tomb Sect was located, was like taking a scary tour.The oil lamps and candles that clung to the mossy hallways and damp soil emitted a foul smell.The wind blew with a thick, death-like scent, harmonizing with the sound of water dripping down the walls of the long passage into the depths of the earth.Every step seemed to lead them deeper into a world filled with mystery and danger.At the end of the road, there was a large village whose buildings were made of stone. All the buildin
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Art of Hell's Claw VS Art of Freezing Ice Heart – Part II.
"Hahahaha! Since when did the Hell's Tomb Sect become the Black Bat King's pet dog? It seems... you, this old man surnamed Xie, still want to curry favor with that Black Bat King."Why? Are you still convinced that your lord, the ugly bat, is dead? Do you still want to deny reality?" With a mocking voice, Bing Xin Mo taunted the leader of the Hell's Tomb Sect."Bastard! What do you mean by saying the Black Bat King is dead? Don't speak out of turn. Tonight's grand meeting was all organized by our leader, the Black Bat King!"Xie Wuming stared intently at Bing Xin Mo, his breath sounding ragged. His eyes flashed, and his anger surged.An aura of hostility instantly swept through the room, feeling like a bone-chilling cold wind.However, as if unafraid, Bing Xin Mo continued to insult him."Why are you foolish humans still denying the death of your lord? You are busy with grand gatherings, not noticing that the tide of war is about to begin."The white sect has already attacked, while y
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Zhi Zhu Shuang Ji.
The atmosphere suddenly froze as the voice echoed out, challenging the power of the Ice Heart Demon—Bing Xin Mo. All eyes were fixed on the two figures standing at the doorway of the cave, the entrance to the Sacred Tomb Sect's compound.They were a married couple who looked about sixty years old.The husband, despite his aging face, wore clothes that made him appear like a young man of twenty. His muscles protruded from underneath his tight-fitting clothes, showcasing his tall and well-built physique. His face was grim and cruel, while his white hair was left unbound.The wife, on the other hand, looked very presentable. Her snow-white hair was styled with clips, forming a neat bun on top of her head. A gold bun adorned with pearls added contrast to her aged and wrinkled face, which was still enhanced with heavy cosmetics."Who are these two crazy individuals?" whispered a cultivator in the crowd."They dare to challenge the Ice Heart Demon? Are they seeking death?" added another in

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 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 Battle of the Two Halls – Part I.
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 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
Death of the Assassin – Part II.
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
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
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
Summer Full Night - Part II.
The sky had turned dark, shrouded in night shadows that hung heavy over the city.The Temple of the Clouds is a Buddhist shrine, located in the east of Lengyang City.The old building had long been abandoned by the monks. Today, the temple is a resting place for beggars and travelers who don't have enough money to stay at more decent lodgings.The next day, Eadric Rong arrived at the temple with two large wooden bushels full of food that he had bought from the Heavenly Delicacies Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Lengyang City.The fragrant smell of the food he brought filled the quiet temple air, whetting the appetite of anyone who smelled it.Huang Fu, who had been waiting in front of the temple, stared with a furrowed brow when he saw the amount of food Eadric Rong had brought. "Why so much?" he asked in a reproachful tone.Eadric Rong smiled, he replied with a sincere tone,"This is also for the enjoyment of your traveling companions and friends who live in the Temple of t
Summer Full Night - Part I.
“Then, pack me ten. Make sure they're still hot, just remove them from the cauldron,” she pleaded, hoping the warmth of the onde-onde would warm her cold, disappointed heart a little.While waiting for the onde-onde to be wrapped, Eadric Rong watched the hustle and bustle around him. Lengyang Market, with all its energy, remained an interesting place.Unexpectedly, a man approached Eadric Rong and said politely, "Young master, may I have a packet of sesame onde-onde? In exchange, I will pay with a painting," said the man who suddenly appeared before him.Eadric Rong frowned, his eyes keenly watching the man's figure.The clothes the man wore looked clean, but were full of regular patches, indicating he was a beggar by profession. On his back, four large sacks hung tightly, ranking high in the Beggar's Society.'A beggar with clean clothes, and carrying four sacks? Interesting!' Eadric Rong thought, feeling that this beggar was not simple.A moment later,"What skill would you trade fo
