Chapter 87: New Identification Card in Hand

Chen Xiao looked at Xi Yunqing in surprise. “Now that things are settled here, aren’t you returning to the Chongxuan Sect?”

Chen Xiao had always thought that Xi Yunqing would handle the formalities for the people of Changjia Village and leave through the teleportation portal, heading back to the Immortal Sect loca...

Chapter 86: Let’s Go See Together

After Xi Yunqing had achieved his goal and stepped back, Chief Steward Han hurried to the swirling vortex teleportation gate. The gate reopened, and in no time, Han Yuanchun and his wife, who had received Xi Yunqing’s message, crossed through the gate and returned. Chief Steward Han quickly stepped forward to greet them, th...

Chapter 80: Pleased to Meet You

Demonic aura surged like wild vines, climbing up Ji Rong’s legs.

Just as it reached her knees, it halted.

Gu Baiyi stopped her movements because those slightly aloof eyes were now quietly fixed on her.

Staring into Ji Rong’s gaze, Gu Baiyi felt something close to madness.

The demonic aura was an ex...

Chapter 79: A Way

After Gu Baiyi finished speaking, memories from her past life rose unbidden in her mind.

It was midnight, at Phoenix Terrace.

Scarlet petals were scattered across the ground. Gu Baiyi lay drunkenly upon the terrace, watching a figure slowly approach her.

In the haze, she saw a wide sleeve as light as mist. 2025-05-05 07:26:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 78: It’s You

Phoenix Terrace was blanketed in fallen petals.

Each one clustered together, vivid as coral beads.

The hem of Gu Baiyi’s dark robe had been flicked open by the Qinghe Sword, now hanging loosely from her shoulder. Her long black hair draped over her collarbone, revealing the faint, slender contours benea...

Chapter 77: Countermove

Qingjing Pavilion was located in the eastern courtyard of Bodhi Gate, it served as the abbot's quarters.

The room was simple and elegant, sparsely decorated. At its center stood a cinnabar stone carving, while on the north wall hung the ancestral lineage chart of the Bodhi Gate.

Kongji led Ji Rong forward, stoppin...

Chapter 76: The Mirror of Fate

The two exchanged a brief glance, before simultaneously diverting their gazes in perfect harmony.

At that very moment, Kongji had already reached the center of the great hall.

He first bowed respectfully toward the three Buddha statues, then rose and clasped his hands together, offering a smile to the crowd as a g...

Chapter 85: Misfortune Marches to War

Xi Yunqing was furious.

Everyone in the Chongxuan Sect knew one thing well, during a battle, Xi Yunqing preferred to win through his own strength. Trying to provoke him with petty tricks was a terribly unwise move. He would immediately show you exactly what it meant to be plagued by misfortune.

As his emotions sur...

Chapter 84: Tong Nuonuo: Blow Him Up! Blow Him Up!

For hundreds of years, under the Han family’s rule, Hanshan City had remained relatively peaceful. While the occasional spell duel did break out within city limits, the City Guard would quickly step in to quell the disturbances. The only event that could truly be called a major incident was over a century ago, when Han Yunz...

Chapter 83: The Opening

The sight of Xi Yunqing brought joy to both Du Rong and Tong Nuonuo, who quickly came over. Chen Xiao, both surprised and relieved, hurriedly said, “You didn’t come back earlier, and we were worried something might have happened, so we temporarily changed locations to lay low.”

Xi Yunqing had only spoken one sente...

Chapter 82: They're Back

“What? Seeking a child?” Chen Xiao asked in surprise. If it weren’t for the complex, hard-to-explain expressions on Du Rong and Wu Qing’s faces, and the equally astonished look on Tong Nuonuo’s face confirming his ears were working fine, he would’ve thought he’d misheard.

Du Rong sat wearily down on the sh...

Chapter 81: A Lethal Weapon in the Mortal World

In the midst of all the tension and unease, Chen Xiao remained relatively calm. He was certain that Xi Yunqing wasn’t someone who fated to die young. The immense and radiant aura surrounding him was steady and vast, clearly capable of persisting for centuries. On this, Chen Xiao had absolute confidence. He believed Xi Yunqi...

Chapter 75: Investigating the Case

Ji Rong turned away, no longer looking at Gu Baiyi, and followed Jiang Fei into the main hall of the central compound.

Upon entering, they saw a treasured bronze cauldron placed in the center, inscribed with the characters Bodhi Sect. To the north stood a large incense burner for offering to the Buddha.

T...

Chapter 74: Light Rain

Gu Baiyi knew that Jiang Fei could see through her true cultivation level. But Jiang Fei had always been indifferent to everything, so Gu Baiyi didn’t bother to hide much from her.

After all, her most pressing reason for coming to the Bodhi Sect this time was to find that demonic sword which had been guarded by Mei He...

Chapter 73: Barrier

Gu Baiyi’s expression was calm, so calm, in fact, it felt almost excessive.

She reached out with a fingertip, lightly tracing Ji Rong’s facial features as though caressing the scattered petals on the Phoenix Terrace.

She had done this motion many times before, both in the Demon Palace and on the Phoenix Terrac...

Chapter 72: What Are You Waiting For?

Gu Baiyi stood between Jiang Fei and Ji Rong, blocking Ji Rong’s view with her slender and upright figure.

But when she turned to face Jiang Fei, her expression remained neutral.

Jiang Fei met Gu Baiyi’s gaze, her face calm and composed. After a moment, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out a preserved pl...

Chapter 71: The Thigh

Gu Baiyi chuckled softly and asked, “Why don’t you want to?”

Truthfully, Ji Rong didn’t know either. But she really didn’t want to kill Gu Baiyi.

She remembered, in the original host’s memories, the woman kneeling in the Judgment Hall.

The jade tiles were freezing cold. Gu Baiyi knelt there, lift...

Chapter 50: Detoxification

By mid-August, the weather had gradually begun to cool with the onset of autumn.

Recently, there had been little significant activity at the court. The repairs to the water channels were still underway, and the supervisor overseeing the work happened to be Liu Buxiu from the Imperial Guards. Qiu Che knew that Liu was re...

Chapter 49: Tugging

Li Qingwu, of course, didn’t say everything.

She simply and calmly described when and where they first met.

She wasn’t very good at storytelling, and what she said felt dry and awkward.

Qiu Che thought for a long while and finally managed to pull out a fragment from the depths of her memory.

It see...

Chapter 48: First Encounter

Qiu Che had not sat for long when Yu Ming knocked on the door, informing her that Madam Wang had something to discuss and asked her to come over quickly.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Li Qingwu was already sitting there, smiling and chatting with Madam Wang. She glanced up as she heard footsteps.

Qiu Che made br...

Chapter 47: Like

Li Qingwu explained in a soft voice, “It’s… too close.”

Then she turned her head, avoiding Qiu Che’s probing gaze, and awkwardly added, “I’m not used to it.”

The scene fell silent for a while, only the gentle mountain breeze blowing by.

Qiu Che stared at her reddened face, slowly realizing, s...

Chapter 46: Sticky

Qiu Che stood in the backyard of Linglong Pavilion, watching Li Qingwu move hurriedly from one place to another. The young shopkeeper's gaze followed her, shifting wherever she went, and every so often, his face would flush red.

Li Qingwu, oblivious, kept her head down, speaking with the maid beside her.

Feeling b...

Chapter 80: Clouds of Suspicion

Chen Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What happened? Is everything not going well?"

Wu Qing grumbled angrily, "The person in charge is too rigid. There's a sense of urgency in everything, but it's just a procedure! They wouldn't even allow for any flexibility!"

Tong Nuonuo was still somewhat confused by ...

Chapter 79: Return to Hanshan City

The people at Mount Building Residence were quite surprised to find that Xi Yunqing and Chen Xiao were now addressing each other as brothers. It wasn’t that they weren’t familiar with each other before, Xi Yunqing had always treated Chen Xiao somewhat differently, and everyone had seen that. But suddenly, their closeness ...

Chapter 78: Call Out "Big Brother"

Now, the cultivation atmosphere was bustling with activity, and no one was willing to waste even a moment.

As promised, Xi Yunqing began instructing the apprentices of Changjia Village to practice the basic heart method of the Chongxuan Sect. Compared to the Chang family’s general heart method, the Chongxuan heart met...

Chapter 77: Mount Building Residence

Chen Xiao slowly lifted the soft brush, and Tong Nuonuo eagerly rushed to take a look. The paper talisman before him, just like the previous ones, had a bright surface. Its lines were sharp, like iron drawn with silver hooks, giving it an extraordinarily imposing and powerful appearance.

"It looks really impressive," To...

Chapter 76: The Dragon Unleashed with the Brush

After carefully storing the spirit-sealing talisman, Wu Qing's complexion visibly improved by the afternoon. However, as a talisman designed to assist body cultivation practitioners in advancing, using it to treat diarrhea seemed a bit of an overuse. Despite this, Chen Xiao was quite satisfied with the result, he had successf...

Chapter 75: The Sacrificial Experience

Behind the scenes, Xi Yunqing handed Chen Xiao a jade talisman. He told him that if he ever found himself in danger, he should give it to Du Rong to crush. This way, Xi Yunqing would receive the message and hurry over to assist. As for why he didn’t give it to Du Rong directly, in Xi Yunqing’s mind, Chen Xiao seemed to be...

Chapter 74: Talismans

All of this left Chen Xiao in shock. He desperately held himself back from shouting out in joy like Tong Nuonuo had. He forced himself to remain on stage, though his mind and body were completely consumed by the golden compass in his consciousness.

Chen Xiao was certain that the compass his master had once handed him di...

Chapter 73: The Star Disk Lights Up

In the past few days, the village had been bustling with excitement. As soon as the news of the bonfire party spread, the young men, who had just begun to feel the sorrow of leaving their hometown, brightened up with smiles. They eagerly gathered in groups to head up the mountain and chop firewood.

Normally, such bonfir...
