Sage didn’t need the assistance of the coachmaker. He was pretty sure the best craftsmen from the Holy Flame Sect could easily overshadow them. That said, Sage didn’t have access to the best craftsmen. If they were to take their time building vehicles they’d be making the highest quality Flying Ships, they ...

They were now in Golden Cricket Cove and they’d also discovered a method of quick travel. Asking around town he learned that many knew about the existence of the ‘Merciful Mollusk’, but their entry fee was absurd. Only cultivators could afford the cover charge of a dozen Spirit Stones. When he hinted about ...

The group of six ran through a forest, back to where the ten attackers had come from. Sage was seeing a few days into the past and he followed the hit team’s prior path back. They went deep into the woods and Sage frowned.
Damn, just as I thought. They were only part of a larger group.

Back in the hall, the ten attackers continued their vicious assault upon Ruanfu. Their fists smashed forward, a pair of biting mandibles and cutting blades leading the way. After a dozen exchanges Ruanfu leaned back to avoid a punch. She was caught off-guard when the centipede over the man’s fist suddenly lunge...

They were attacked, just as Sage expected, but in a manner he wasn’t expecting. It was an assassination attempt, that wasn’t unusual, but the method was. Ruanfu and Baozhai were in a careful state of awareness while also talking about nonsense to pass the time. With sudden speed, Ruanfu thrust her fist into t...

“Good. So, what is your status?”
“I have recovered from my… setback. The network will be back soon. I’ll start sending intel again, but I also have a request. I want to bring the Prosperity Company over now. Will the Holy Flame Sect be supporting us?”
There was silence for a moment before she replied...

The ceremony was less troublesome than Sage assumed it would be. Every major and minor player in Lionheart Town made an appearance. They brought gifts and the majority of them were eager to see just who it was that had taken over. Lionheart Town had defensive arrays built into the city walls, but it didn’t have...

The shift in power had gone quite easily. In fact, the most difficult part had merely been convincing the guards on the walls not to throw their lives away. After a short argument, they were finally cowed by the bodies of Wu Chang and the Strongfist Brothers. A few of them were quite loyal, but after they were ki...

The snake as well as the five birds returned to their human forms, reactivating their Human Seals. They looked somewhat unusual as their clothing returned to exactly how it looked at the earlier part of the battle, yet their bodies had just as many wounds as they ended the battle with. Most of them looked a bit f...

They sure didn’t seem like very impressive weapons. Even if the shafts had pointed tips, how much damage could they cause? Wu Chang didn’t think of them as much, but his instincts told him otherwise. He felt a dreadful danger emanating from the feathers as they flew towards him. With the giant wind column to ...

When the thirty foot tall rock monster fell to the ground, it became an easy target. Juzui and Jiyao swept in and struck it rapidly, causing more rends and tears in its rocky body. The rock monster started to climb back to its feet, but Songji called the two of them back. They were curious why, but then they reme...

With his new body, even those at an equivalent rank would be mesmerized when they met his gaze. Hoplites only reached tier 3 at maturity, which meant the vast majority of the army in front of them were completely helpless. With two whole ranks lower than him, not only were they mesmerized, he could control them. ...

As he spoke a woman appeared. She had long snowy white hair, thick and with a healthy sheen, along with piercing blue eyes. Her face was sharp and beautiful, though her gaze was deadly, boring into Wu Chang with her killing intent. She wore a many layered sky blue dress over a set of fighting clothes, along with ...

A man dressed in the armor of the Lionheart Town City Guard burst into the main chamber of a huge manor. The lower half of the building was fortified with stone and it was so large it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to call it a Castle or Fortress rather than just a manor. The guard’s boots scuffed on the smoot...

The four young people were sharing a single courtyard at a large inn.

It would have been hard for him to forget the betrayal he suffered. In his past, there had been more than a few times he’d nearly died, and most of them were caused by a betrayal.
