Sage didn’t bother replying to the crazy woman, the only response she got was another flurry of bolts flying in her direction. She still looked like she was trying to finish absorbing the green ghost, so Sage went back on the offensive. Since she’d arrogantly thrown aside her staff, she no longer had a weapon...

The rhino-horse threw the Blacksilver Pawn off its back and quickly trampled it into bits. Unfortunately for it, there were ten more of them surrounding it from all directions. As soon as the Soul Fragment was destroyed Sage sent them all into action. He sent his own minions after hers. They could be smashed to b...

Like thunder crashing across the sky, the sound of the monster’s hooves smashing the dirt assaulted Sage’s eardrums. The monster lowered its clearly visible spinal column, and revealed a little hitch in its step. The creature gathered its legs beneath it in order to deliver a powerful blow with its lowered he...

He opened his mouth and released a gust of wind, causing a sudden sharp wind to form. Then he released a burst of white flames onto his arms and scorched the melting skin. The pain was constrained by his mental technique and he performed one last action with brutal efficiency. A thin thread wrapped around his bic...

The Elders wanted to object, but not only were they outranked, but their Sect Leader was the most powerful person in the Sect. It would take all of them teaming together to just barely match up against him. That was without even mentioning the four from the Tang Clan, of which two were just as strong as their Sec...

With the Tang Clan members walking out and the Violent Fist Sect boasting around them, Sage was a little torn. Logically, to remove any future trouble he should just wipe these people all out, and then head to their Sect and Clan manors to pull up the roots. The only problem was that this whole situation was star...

“It’s not an allowance, it’s a salary. If you want a raise, you’ll have to take on more responsibilities. All you do is act as a guard on call for a month a few times a year.”

Sage had been busy lately, and had only frequented Thousand Treasures. While they had many powerful and expensive items, they were as close to a ‘chain’ store that could be found in this world. They stocked the same things at every location, so seeing one he’d seen all of them for the most part. Seeing that...

Sage stayed silent, finding this whole conversation to be quite shocking. Weren’t they here to recruit the Zhu Clan? How did it turn into securing shelter for their people after they lost?
Sage thought about it again and realized it wasn’t all that unusual. The Zhu wasn’t a part of the Chong Cla...

The force weighing upon the messenger lessened, but didn’t disappear. He immediately knew the damage he’d caused in haste better be worth it, or he wouldn’t escape punishment.

Sage’s wondered if he’d suddenly stepped into a reality show.

Explaining the circumstances of their visit, Xiezi wasted no time in ushering Uncle Zhou forward, “Take us to the Zhu Clan Manor.”

Sage resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Such childish antics were a far cry from the harsh woman he’d seen terrifying those Xiyi faction members into silence. She must have had a harsh life.
To Xiezi’s displeasure, Sage merely crossed his legs and sat down atop the scorpion’s back. The lack ...

Sage was definitely not pleased with the huge mess he’d been drawn into, but so far Xiezi seemed to be quite truthful with him. At the moment she was the only person in the Chong Clan that he cared for even slightly. He also had to admit that if the Wu Faction hadn’t tried to kill him in the past, his distast...

That laugh of hers was still as unsettling as it had always been.

None of the insects casually living in the area were very valuable. Instead he found they were mostly species that were the most favored food for others.
