Waiting for a while and receiving no response, Eadric Rong's eyes suddenly widened. Fear and worry filled his heart.

"Doggone it!" he shouted.

In an extremely swift motion, Eadric Rong's figure darted and ran over the rain puddles, heading towards the hut where Grandpa Shang lived. Every step he took caused splashes of water to bounce off the wet ground.

"This is just a trick to lure the tiger down the mountain!" he hissed as he floated up and was close to the door of Grandpa Shang's hut.

At that moment, the Xingyin sword was already in his right hand, and Eadric Rong made a slashing motion and smashed through the door of the hut.

The sound of the hut door shattering added to the commotion in the storm.

DUAR!

With a rumbling sound, the door of the rickety and fragile hut was instantly shattered. Wood chips and pieces of the door were thrown in various directions, creating a rain of wood chips that danced in the air.

However, Eadric Rong did not care about this chaos. His bulging eyes

    Although his heart was full of questions, Eadric Rong did not stop chasing after the female ghost in red, who was running weaker and weaker in the pouring rain.To Eadric Rong's surprise and curiosity, this ghost seemed to be heading towards the Taoist Pagoda - a sacred place known as the Yunshui Pagoda."Is it possible that someone inside the cult pagoda is keeping this red-clothed female ghost to improve her cultivation?" thought Eadric Rong, his heart filled with question marks.Right now, he no longer cared about getting soaked in the unrelenting rain. What was on his mind was, "who are the immortality pursuers inside Yunshui Pagoda, who he guessed were keeping the female ghost in red?"This question was still hanging, but the longer it went on, the closer the ghostly figure of the woman in the red dress got to the hundred steps leading to the location of the Pagoda on top of the small hill.What made her feel a little overpowered was that she seemed to be getting tired.Her figur

    Eadric Rong stood in the courtyard of Grandpa Shang's old hut. Puddles were still all around him, reflecting the morning sunlight. He was already getting ready to leave. However, there was a sudden noise.The sound of dozens of feet stepping on the muddy water made a noise like water being slapped. No less than twenty men and ten women came to Grandpa Shang's hut. Without further ado, they all kowtowed and spoke in unison."Thank you, Lord Helper of the Wudang Sect. The entire Yunshui Chun Village is indebted to you!"Apparently, the news about Eadric Rong, the Wudang Sect disciple who successfully fought and destroyed the female ghost in red, had spread quickly throughout the village.Hence, everyone flocked to thank him this morning.Eadric Rong immediately stammered. He asked everyone to stand up and insisted there was no need to kowtow before him. "Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up. Eadric Rong does not deserve this much praise!"However, the villagers continued to insist on k

    Leader Liu, with a beaming and grateful face, pointed at Eadric Rong."Last night, this valiant youngster from the Wudang Sect successfully dispatched the ghost of that curious dead woman. Therefore, this morning we have all gathered in Grandpa Shang's courtyard to pay our last respects to divine Cultivator Eadric Rong before he returns to the Wudang Sect in the North!"Hearing this explanation, the Lingbao Priest seemed to nod while stroking his long, white beard. "Siancai... siancai..." he said.But Eadric Rong's observant eyes caught a trace of anger in the form of lightning in the priest's eyes, though only for an instant.But with great ingenuity and experience, the traces of anger disappeared. Priest Lingbao's face brightened with piety. He praised Eadric Rong with the same gaze as if he were judging chickens in the market."Although he is still young, he already possesses extraordinary talent and is full of martial arts power.

    The Lingbao priest stood tall among the towering pine trunks, like a ferocious brute ready to terrorize the opposition.The soft moonlight fell on his back, creating a shadow that looked long and mysterious, like a witch preparing to cast a spell.Horsetail whisk's mane, his signature weapon, seemed to rustle in his hand, as if responding to the wind that blew softly between the pine trunks.Its appearance seems very dramatic, like a demon that has just emerged from the darkness, creepy yet alluring.Eadric Rong, who had predicted this would happen from the moment he left Yunshui Chun Village, simply snorted coldly and made a body-relieving gesture.WUSH!With incredible speed and precision, he leapt into the Flying Over Grass - a beautiful yet fast somersault.In an instant, accompanied by a high-pitched whistling sound that broke the silence of the night, Eadric Rong's body was already on a level at a height of three meters.With the sharp, gleaming Xingyin sword in his hand, he cha

    At dusk, Eadric Rong walked at a brisk pace through the streets of Tanshan City. His destination was Tanshan Market, where the Dusk Dew Shop was located. It was a shop that provided equipment for cultivators and had become his regular.Taking a quick look inside the market, Eadric Rong concluded. Tanshan Market at dusk was usually quiet, unlike the usual crowds in the morning and afternoon.From a distance, he sat upright on White's back, Eadric Rong looked towards the Dusk Dew Shop. There was a slightly chubby but clean-faced man, who was about to pull down the curtains and close the shop door. The man was Mr. Errol Hou, the owner of the Dusk Dew Shop.White immediately ran fast..."Wait a minute, Mr. Errol Hou," Eadric Rong shouted, his voice breaking the silence of the market. He hurried over to the shop and stood right in front of Mr. Errol Hou. "Please forgive my late arrival.""However, I have to sell all these things now.

    "Wind Sword Slash!" exclaimed an 8-year-old boy, encouraging himself amid sword practice.He trains in a mini bamboo forest behind the Wudang Sect.The little boy was named Eadric Rong.The mini bamboo forest is part of the territory of the Wudang Sect, one of the strongest sects in the Wriston Kingdom.Since this morning, Eadric Rong had been engrossed in practicing the sword technique known as the Nine Steps of the Wind Sword, a basic technique that all disciples in the Wudang Sect must master. However, Eadric Rong's physical condition was pitiful.Since childhood, he never had any power in his body. Eadric Rong was born without the Pearl Core, the energy-gathering source at the center of the human body that is necessary for anyone who wants to pursue the path of cultivation and martial arts.Without the Pearl Core, even if he had practiced the sword for a thousand years, all those moves would only have looked beautiful but would have been powerless.Eadric Rong can be said to have

    After rolling for six rounds, Malakai Yan stopped as his body hit a rock. He tried to stand up, but his head felt dizzy, and everything in front of his eyes appeared as mere shadows.Although there was no pain from the stab in his chest, the attack left a shocking mark. What's more, he felt incredibly embarrassed. It had never occurred to him that Eadric Rong, who had always been the victim of bullies, had enough sword skills to take him down.With his two best friends, who had always faithfully followed his orders, standing by and witnessing his defeat, Malakai Yan's mind was worried about his reputation being ruined if word got out.In his rage, Malakai Yan pulled out a sword. Unlike the wooden sword Eadric Rong was using, this was a real sword and looked dangerous. The sword's light glittered in the sunlight as Malakai Yan pointed it at Eadric Rong with a trembling voice."It turns out you have a little ability," Malakai Yan said, shivering angrily. His voice rose even higher. "You

    Letting out a long sigh, Eadric Rong said in a low voice that made the hairs stand up. "However, I won't help anymore if you are too late and are intercepted by the next demonic creature.”“I heard that if one demonic creature is killed like last night, its partner will search for the party involved in destroying it..."Just as Eadric Rong finished speaking, without hesitation Callum Zeng and Cao Shia said with confidence, "We won't complain, we'll follow you from behind. Come on, lead the way right now..."Secretly, Eadric Rong smiled as he ordered White to walk slowly in front of Cao Shia and Callum Zeng. That was also why their journey towards Yunshui Chun Village took two days longer.Eventually, when the three children finally arrived at the side of the mountain, they could see Yunshui Chun Village located far below the foot of the mountain.From the slope of the Mountain filled with Willow Trees, Eadric Rong looked down, gazed at Yunshui Chun Village, and whispered, "There are o

    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
