“Hyah!” Da-da-da! Horse hooves thundered as several swift riders galloped down the official street. They charged out through Jianchun Gate, heading east out of the city. The leading rider swung his whip and shouted: “Make way! Make way!” Hiii—! The horses flew by like the wind. The commoners and merchants waiting at the gate for inspection hastily dropped what they were carrying and scrambled aside. The pounding hooves roared past, and the crowd, left in dust and disarray,…

The “Netherworld’s Soul-Calling Burial” was the first painting Lu Liangsheng could not complete in one sitting. When he withdrew from the painting, dizziness and nausea surged through him — the scene he had witnessed was entirely different from what others would have seen. With his spirit wholly immersed, he had beheld a somber sky; all between Heaven and Earth was dyed crimson-red. The sunlight carried not the slightest trace of warmth; mountains were like blades, and rivers ran dark with…

The man clad in battle robes saw that refined and handsome Daoist reclining sideways, offering no reply, as if asleep. Though he had come at his master’s behest, given the capabilities of his master and the two martial uncles, there was no need to send word ahead. The very moment he gave rise to the thought of coming to pay a visit, that mere flicker of intent would already have been sensed by his martial uncle. He was not truly asleep—he simply did not wish to meet. He recalled again the…-

The Dragon King of the Jing River, executed… Qi Wuhuo suddenly recalled that arrogant water deity in white robes. He remembered the argument between him and the fortune-teller, remembered the fortune-teller’s judgment and cold sneer—he now understood. That youthful-looking water god in white was likely none other than the Dragon King of the Jing River, recorded in the document that had arrived together with the Five Thunders Judge’s Seal. Jing, as in the saying , and in this Central Province, he…

Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback and asked: “Father, why do I not understand what you’re saying?” Zhang Cai smiled and replied: “What I mean is, if we don’t touch this vast fortune, won’t we avoid drawing attention to ourselves?” “Huh?” Zhang Xiaohua was bewildered. “Father, if we’re not going to spend the money, why did I even bring it out?” Zhang Cai spoke with deep meaning: “Taking it out and not taking it out are completely different. Actually, Xiaohua, the silver notes…-

With a hoe in hand, Zhang Xiaohua led the way, while Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong followed behind carrying hoes and shovels. Together, they made their way into the bamboo grove behind the house. Having found the clearing he had scouted earlier, Zhang Xiaohua pointed to the spot and said: “Big Brother, let’s dig a big pit right here.” Zhang Xiaolong glanced at the spot, then at Zhang Xiaohua’s serious expression. He spat twice into his palms, gripped his hoe, and was about to start digging.…

Indeed, Li Jinfeng was at a loss for words. The authorities he had placed his hopes in had given him the most disappointing answer. What could he possibly say? “But…” Li Yinfeng’s lips still trembled slightly as she spoke: “But to burn that man alive, that’s truly…” “Cruel!” Liu Kai interjected. Seeing the younger generation in the hall all discussing the matter, the four elders seated at the head of the room remained silent. Zhang Cai was a little better off; though he was…

Two government yamen runners drew their blades, putting on a show as they shouted orders in all directions, yet not a single shadow of a person could be seen. Madam Wu, however, paid no heed to their theatrics. Her gaze remained fixed on the black-clad figure lying on the ground. Then, her eyes shifted to the open burlap sack nearby. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with joy. She rushed over, hastily tore open the sack, and revealed a little girl inside, eyes closed and still unconscious. The woman cried out…

Zhang Xiaohua strolled slowly into a dimly lit alley nearby, glancing around as if he were a young man sneaking off to relieve himself. But when he reached the darkness, as usual, he twisted his body—and in a flash, vanished without a trace. The quiet alley seemed as though no one had ever set foot there. After reappearing elsewhere, Zhang Xiaohua wasted no time. With a light leap, he landed atop a rooftop, moving swiftly as if his feet never touched the ground—well, to be precise, they didn’t…

Even so, Wang Banxia still felt doubtful. There hadn’t been any reports of unrest to the south—so why would the army be marching this way? “Quickly, quickly! Have the rear units catch up—Mount Qixia is just ahead!” “Slaughter all the black dogs and drain their blood for storage, in case that demon cultivator Lu Liangsheng launches a sneak attack!” “Pick up the pace and take good care of Master Wang!” Lu Liangsheng?! Wang Banxia’s smile froze. Voices kept rising one after…
