The duel between the dagger and the short sword was no less intense than that of two long swords. As the saying goes, "An inch shorter, an inch more dangerous." If two short weapons were to clash with a resounding "clang," it would be nothing short of a joke. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua knew that the old man could not truly sense his divine sense, so he had already released his spiritual perception, monitoring the changes in the old man’s swordplay and footwork. Thus, no matter how the old man’s…-

Zhang Xiaohua turned around and saw, on one side of the main hall, atop a flight of steps, the old man with the bronze mask was descending the stairs! “Damn, how did he discover me?” Zhang Xiaohua cried out inwardly. The old man with the bronze mask questioned sternly: “Who are you? How did you trespass into the forbidden grounds of my sect?” He glanced again at the several coffins that had vanished from within the formation, and was even more shocked. With a forceful step, his body…

After the Crown Prince left, Qi Wuhuo remained seated in quiet meditation with eyes closed. The second to enter was the Fourth Prince, Li Hui, dressed in plain robes. “Hui”—it means sunlight. Even from the name, one could perceive the great ambition harbored by the current Human Emperor long before he ascended the throne. He styled himself as the Great Sun. The Fourth Prince, Li Hui, offered a smile and cupped his hands in greeting. His bearing was scholarly and refined, his demeanor…-

Aside from the little prince who was currently sound asleep in a groggy stupor, the other princes all appraised the man before them, the one wearing an elder’s mask, from head to toe. The Crown Prince felt an instinctive sense of peril, a cold wind pressing against his face that he could not shake off. His brows knit slightly, and he tightened his grip on his unconscious younger brother. The Fourth Prince, on the other hand, felt as though he were beholding a reclusive scholar from the wilds. A sense…

The door was left slightly ajar. The Toad Daoist waddled in, swaying left and right, glanced at his disciple rummaging through the cabinet, and crawled straight onto the bed. “Your teacher is exhausted…” Seeing the scholar give no response, he sprawled carelessly across the bed, tilted his head toward him, and asked, “Liangsheng, what are you doing?” Over there, Lu Liangsheng had just taken out some medicinal salves for bruises and injuries from a low cabinet. They were all things he had…

The setting sun cast its glow, dyeing the sea of clouds red as it churned between the mountains. Lu Liangsheng watched for a moment, then turned away. He did not hurry to inspect the Veiled Moon Sword, which had just drawn in its first strand of spiritual essence. Instead, he walked toward the old pine, brushed away the needles on the stone tablet, and picked one up between his fingers. As expected, his master’s experience ran deep—the art of artifact refinement could never be achieved by relying…

Zhang Xiaohua climbed onto the roof, bent down, pressed his ear against the tiles, and listened intently. He heard a respectful voice from within the main hall say: “Order Master, to be so highly regarded by you, and to be allowed to see such a confidential matter—this humble one is truly grateful beyond words.” Another slightly aged voice responded: “Banner Leader Gao, you were able to gather the required number of girls within the designated time. This alone is a great accomplishment. Not to…

Zhang Xiaohua’s guess was indeed correct. Martial arts were improved upon from the Immortal Dao; many techniques and mystical abilities were borrowed from the Immortal Path. Divine sense was a unique ability of the Immortal Path—martial artists could not draw qi into their bodies and thus could not acquire divine sense from the world’s Yuan Qi—but they were aware of its subtle uses. Over the millennia, many exceptionally gifted individuals, following the records in ancient texts, had cultivated…

The manor was surrounded on all sides by forest, much of it evergreen pine that did not shed its needles even in winter, clearly meant to conceal something. Yet at this moment, it suited Zhang Xiaohua’s intentions perfectly. He hid himself in a spot and released his divine sense, carefully observing his surroundings. He saw that this was a very large estate, seemingly as big as an entire village. The inside was indeed different from what Zhang Xiaohua had seen before. Huanxi Villa had fields and…

At this moment, the donkey cart driven by that Banner Leader Gao had already gone quite a while. Zhang Xiaohua, afraid of delaying important matters, said: “Let me be honest with you. That so-called brother-in-law of yours already led his group westward from here. Seems like they discovered a useful clue. Also, I’m not the bandit who kidnapped your niece. If you’re looking for your brother-in-law, just head west.” Yu Deyi turned to glance at the small path to the west. His feet slowly began…
