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…

The light of dawn pushed aside the darkness between heaven and earth. On the official road, banners snapped in the wind as a vast black tide of troops stretched endlessly into the distance, stirring up clouds of dust that filled the sky. Donkey carts and ox carts had retreated into the fields, while merchants traveling from north and south gathered together, staring in astonishment at the long serpent of an army winding past. Some exchanged whispers in low voices. “Are we going to war?” “I…

The night wind moaned and whistled as it swept past the eaves, squeezing through the narrow crack of the door. The oil lamp flickered. The kitchen, crowded and full, smelled faintly of smoke and grease. A mottled old hen dozed off, nestled in a pile of firewood. No one spoke — only the da-da of chopsticks tapping against bowls echoed through the room. With several swift movements, the shadows of chopsticks rose and fell. The plate piled high with fatty wild boar meat was soon emptied, its bottom…

When the talismanic seals on the mirrored surfaces all began to glow faintly, Qi Wuhuo immediately sensed waves of spiritual power descending upon him. In the blink of an eye, the mirror emitted a blazing brilliance. In the next moment, the young Daoist's primordial spirit and spiritual consciousness were affected—within his awareness, even the heavens seemed to dim before his eyes. A vast darkness. Within the void, it was as if thunder roared and surged, illuminating flashes of light and shadow,…-

Yun Qin widened her eyes and stared at the little peacock. The latter refused to show weakness, its pair of jet-black eyes was also fixed straight on the girl in the mirror. However, it was clearly just putting on a brave front—one of its wings had to rest on the young Daoist’s temple, its entire body puffed up in downy feathers, trembling slightly, and compared to before, it had grown quite a bit plumper. The young girl examined it carefully. Then, quite naturally, she said: “Is this the…

Guo Village and Baligou were both rural backwaters. Ever since Li Yinfeng married into Baligou, she hadn’t seen such lively festivities on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month for many years. Now, hearing the sound of drums and gongs from the main street, she was already restless, looking even more eager to go out than Zhang Xiaohua. By contrast, eighteen-year-old Zhang Xiaohua sat composedly, a gentle smile on his face, behaving with perfect decorum. Of course, his divine sense had long…
