PENDIRI ILMU HITAM
Aku, Li Xian , tumbuh besar di perguruan bela diri terbaik, Hangzhou Zhang. Namun, asal-usulku yang misterius membuatku menjadi bahan hinaan. Aku tidak hanya dianggap tidak layak berlatih bela diri, tapi juga dijadikan pesuruh, budak di tangan mereka. Sering kali, aku menjadi korban pengeroyokan mereka.
Namun, suatu hari, aku menemukan sebuah pusaka misterius yang memberikanku kekuatan luar biasa. Mereka bilang tubuhku “kosong” dan tidak bisa menampung tenaga dalam. Tapi, bagaimana mungkin tubuh ini kuat menahan kekuatan asing itu? Mungkinkah, ini berkaitan dengan asal-usulku yang misterius?!
Dengan kekuatan baru ini, aku bertekad mencari identitasku yang sebenarnya. Aku akan membuktikan pada mereka semua, bahwa aku bisa lebih baik dari mereka dan tidak serendah yang mereka kira. Meski aku ditakuti dunia karena jalur kultivasi yang tidak ortodoks yang aku ciptakan, aku tetap berdiri teguh. Tiga belas tahun setelah aku dibunuh, aku dipanggil kembali ke dalam tubuh seorang pria bernama Mo Xuanyu, yang ditolak oleh klannya dan dihina oleh keluarganya.
Aku, Li Xian, akan memulai perjalanan ini, mengungkap misteri dunia spiritual, melawan setan, hantu, dan bahkan kultivator lainnya, membentuk ikatan yang tidak pernah aku duga sebelumnya.

Chapter: Bab 208: Warisan Sang PendekarLi Xian meneriakkan, "Deng Qing!"Madam Zhao membalas dengan suara tinggi, "Li Xian! Kamu pikir suara kerasmu bisa mengubah sesuatu?! Aku sudah terlalu tahu siapa kamu!"Keduanya keluar rumah sambil terus berdebat, suara Madam Zhao semakin meninggi, sementara Li Xian menahan amarahnya. Wang Cheng berdiri tertegun di tempat, matanya melirik Li Xian sejenak, kemudian tanpa sepatah kata, dia juga berbalik dan keluar.Li Xian memanggil, "Wang Cheng!"Namun, Wang Cheng tidak menjawab. Langkahnya semakin cepat saat ia menuju koridor. Li Xian segera bangkit dari tempat tidur, menyeret tubuhnya yang masih kaku dan sakit untuk mengejar. "Wang Cheng! Wang Cheng!"Wang Cheng terus berjalan tanpa menoleh. Geram, Li Xian berlari dan mencengkram leher Wang Cheng. "Sudah dengar, tapi tidak menjawab?! Mau kupecahkan kepalamu?!"Wang Cheng memaki, "Kembali ke tempat tidurmu dan istirahat!"Li Xian balas berteriak, "Tidak bisa, kita harus selesaikan in

Chapter: Bab 207: Warisan TersembunyiLiu Yanli tersenyum, mengelap mulut dan dagu Li Xian dengan lembut. Dia merasa senang dan bergegas keluar membawa mangkuk. Tak lama, Wang Cheng duduk di kursi yang baru saja diduduki oleh kakaknya. Dia melirik ke arah guci porselen putih di meja, sepertinya ingin mencicipi, tapi sayangnya mangkuknya sudah dibawa pergi oleh Liu Yanli. Sambil mendesah, Wang Cheng bertanya, “Ayah, orang-orang dari Keluarga Chen belum mau mengembalikan pedangnya?”Xu Changze menarik pandangannya dari guci dan menjawab, “Akhir-akhir ini mereka sedang merayakan sesuatu.”Li Xian mengerutkan dahi, “Merayakan apa?”Xu Changze menjelaskan dengan tenang, “Mereka merayakan Zeng Ruohan yang berhasil membunuh Qilin Grotto, monster besar yang sudah menebar teror.”Li Xian terkejut dan hampir saja jatuh dari tempat tidur. “Keluarga Chen yang membunuhnya?!”Wang Cheng mencemooh, “Kalau bukan mereka, kamu pikir siapa

Chapter: Bab 206: Kekuatan yang Tak TerdugaJika terpaksa masuk ke dalam mode baca yang menyusahkan, pengalaman membaca akan sangat buruk. Sebaiknya keluar dari mode tersebut.Dia masih belum mendengar dengan jelas apa nama lagu ini. Sebuah rasa sakit seperti darah mengalir ke wajahnya, sementara kepala dan sendi-sendi di tubuhnya terasa panas menyengat, ditambah dengan suara dengung di telinga yang tak kunjung hilang.Saat sadar kembali, Li Xian membuka matanya dan yang terlihat bukanlah langit gelap di atas gua, juga bukan wajah pucat dan tampan Zhang Ji, melainkan selembar papan kayu yang dihiasi dengan gambar lucu sekelompok kepala manusia yang saling mencium.Ini adalah coretan yang dia gambar di atas tempat tidurnya di Orchid Dock.Li Xian terbaring di atas ranjang kayunya, sementara Liu Yanli sedang membaca buku. Melihat dia bangun, alisnya yang lembut terangkat dan dia meletakkan buku sambil memanggil, “Li Xian!”“Saudara perempuan!” jawab Li Xian.Dia

Chapter: Bab 205: Di Balik Gua: Nyanyian dan HarapanLi Xian berbaring sejenak sebelum akhirnya duduk kembali. Zhang Ji berkata, “Berbaringlah dengan baik.”Li Xian menarik tangannya, “Kamu tidak perlu terus-terusan membantuku, kamu juga sudah tidak banyak tenaga.”Zhang Ji menggenggam tangannya lagi, “Berbaringlah dengan baik.”Beberapa hari lalu, Zhang Ji kelelahan dan terpaksa menghadapi semua teror dan gangguan darinya. Kini, giliran Li Xian yang lelah, hanya bisa pasrah untuk diperlakukan sesuka hati.Tapi Li Xian, meskipun berbaring, tidak mau merasa sepi. Tak lama kemudian, dia mulai mengeluh, “Sakit. Sakit.”Zhang Ji bertanya, “Mau bagaimana?”Li Xian menjawab, “Ayo pindah tempat berbaring.”Zhang Ji bingung, “Di saat seperti ini, kamu masih mau berbaring di mana?”Li Xian tersenyum nakal, “Pinjam kaki kamu, dong.”Zhang Ji mengerutkan dahi, “Jangan bercanda.&rdquo

Chapter: Bab 204: Terperangkap di Gua QilinLi Xian saat itu memang pernah bilang, di bawah kolam hitam ada sebuah lorong air yang bisa dilewati lima sampai enam orang sekaligus. Dan, benar saja, murid-murid klan lain memang berhasil melarikan diri dari lorong tersebut. Awalnya, Li Xian mengira lorong itu terhalang tubuh Qilin yang terbunuh, sehingga tak bisa ditemukan. Namun sekarang, setelah mayat Qilin dipindahkan, di tempat yang sebelumnya didudukinya, tidak ada tanda-tanda lorong air itu sama sekali.Rambut Zhang Ji yang basah meneteskan air, tetapi dia tidak berkata apa-apa. Kedua pria itu saling bertatapan, dan keduanya sepertinya sampai pada kesimpulan yang mengerikan.Apakah mungkin... Qilin yang dalam kesakitan luar biasa telah mencakar-cakar dan mengguncang bebatuan di dasar air, atau tanpa sengaja menendang sesuatu yang penting, dan membuat satu-satunya lorong pelarian itu... tertutup?Li Xian melepaskan lengan Zhang Ji dan langsung menyelam ke dalam air, diikuti oleh Zhang Ji. Mereka mencari

Chapter: Bab 203: Pertarungan di Gua Qilin: Kebangkitan Li XianSaat Li Xian melihat celah di pertahanan monster itu, dia segera mengambil seikat panah dan dengan sekuat tenaga menusukkannya ke bagian kulit yang paling tipis. Meski panahnya kecil, Li Xian mengikat lima panah menjadi satu dan menusukkannya hingga seluruh bagian bulu panah hilang, seperti menusukkan jarum beracun. Rasa sakit yang tajam membuat Qilin yang mengerikan itu menggigit kuat-kuat besi yang sebelumnya menahan mulutnya, membengkokkan besi tersebut hingga menyerupai kait. Panik dan kesakitan, Li Xian kembali menusukkan beberapa seikat panah ke kulit lembut monster itu. Sejak lahir, Qilin ini tidak pernah merasakan rasa sakit seburuk ini. Ia meraung kesakitan, tubuh seperti ular yang tersembunyi di balik cangkang kura-kura itu berputar-putar dengan liar, kepalanya membentur segala arah. Tumpukan mayat yang sudah membusuk di sekelilingnya juga ikut terguncang, seolah-olah gunung runtuh menimpa Li Xian, hampir menenggelamkannya di antara potongan tubuh yang membusuk.Mat

Chapter: Chapter 10: The Moment of TruthThe room felt suffocating, the weight of Damon’s gaze pressing down on Emma like a physical thing. She straightened her back, fingers trembling slightly as she adjusted her dress, the soft fabric brushing against her skin. The golden light from the chandelier above bathed her in a warm, false comfort. Her champagne sat untouched on the table, its bubbles now flat and lifeless. The world outside the mansion’s walls seemed so distant—so unreachable.Emma felt his eyes on her, sharp, relentless. She could practically hear the silent question in his gaze: What are you hiding from me?Her stomach twisted. The escape plan was in motion, but doubts gnawed at her every step. What if she wasn’t strong enough? What if Jake didn’t come through?She clenched her fists at her sides, willing the anxiety to stop. This was it. The moment of truth was approaching fast.Across the room, Damon chatted effortlessly with his guests, his

Chapter: Chapter 9: A Glimmer of DefianceThe ballroom was nearly silent now, save for the faint rustling of a distant servant's footstep and the occasional clink of glass against metal. Emma sat alone, the weight of the evening pressing against her chest like an invisible hand. She hadn’t touched her champagne, its golden hue mocking her with its emptiness. The room, once alive with laughter and music, was now bathed in the oppressive glow of chandeliers that seemed to mock her every thought.Her fingers gripped the edge of the chair, her knuckles pale, as she stared toward the far side of the ballroom. Damon was still among the remaining guests, his presence suffocating the air. He moved with the grace of a man who owned every room he entered, his dark eyes sharp as they scanned the crowd. Every inch of him radiated dominance, his charm effortlessly disarming those around him. Emma's gaze narrowed as his hand brushed Sophia’s arm. A flicker of something cold passed through her chest."Don’t let him see you," she reminded he

Chapter: Chapter 8: The Prison of Her Own Mind"You think you can escape me, Emma? How naïve."Damon’s voice was a venomous whisper as he loomed over her, his shadow stretching across the dimly lit ballroom.The chandelier above sparkled brilliantly, a cruel contrast to the suffocating tension that gripped Emma. Her fingers trembled around the stem of her wine glass, but her face betrayed none of the turmoil within.Not here. Not now. She had to stay composed."I’m not your puppet, Damon," she said, her voice steady, though her pulse raced.His lips twisted into a smirk, the kind that sent chills down her spine."Oh, but you’ve been dancing to my tune all along," Damon replied, his hand brushing hers deliberately. "You just haven’t realized it yet."Emma fought to maintain her composure. Around them, the laughter and clinking glasses of the gala attendees formed a distant hum, a world away from the storm brewing between them. Her gaze darted to the grand entrance, scanning for Jake.But he wasn’t there."You’ve lost your fire," Dam

Chapter: Chapter 7: The Echo of Fireflies"Emma, I’ve told you before. Stay. Away. From. Trouble."Damon’s voice echoed in her ears as she slammed the library door shut behind her, her breathing uneven, her fingers trembling.Trouble. That’s what he called every attempt of hers to remember who she was, who she might still be. Tonight was no different.The journal lay in her lap now, its worn leather cover rough under her fingertips. It felt like holding her own heart, fragile yet alive.She flipped the pages slowly, the faded ink revealing parts of herself she’d almost forgotten."Jake..." she whispered, her voice breaking.The entry stared back at her, the words she had written years ago pulling her into the memory like a tide too strong to resist.It had been a summer evening. Jake had surprised her with a picnic in the meadow by the old oak tree. Fireflies danced in the warm air, and his laughter filled the silence between her cautious words."Promise me one thing," she had said, leaning against him. "Anything, Emma." "T

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Weight of Isolation“Emma, smile. Everyone’s watching.” Damon’s voice was a command she couldn’t ignore. His hand rested on her lower back, firm yet controlling, as they stepped into the grand ballroom. Glittering chandeliers illuminated the sea of faces, all turned toward them, expectant.Emma forced a smile, hollow and painted on like the makeup she had spent an hour perfecting. The emerald green silk gown she wore was stunning, but it felt more like chains than fabric.“Perfect,” Damon whispered, leaning closer. His breath brushed her neck, and she stiffened. “Remember, you’re mine tonight. Like every night.”Her stomach churned, but she nodded mechanically. Resistance only led to punishment, and tonight, she couldn’t bear another one of Damon’s “lessons.”The party was lavish—Damon spared no expense. Waiters drifted between clusters of guests, their trays balanced with crystal flutes of champagne and delicate hors d'oeuvres. Laughter and chatter filled the air, but to Emma, it all blurred into meani

Chapter: Chapter 5: Choices in the Dark"You think you can just walk away, Emma? You belong to me, remember?"Damon’s voice cut through her like a knife, cruel and sharp. His words, dripping with malice, echoed in her head long after he said them. He was too close now, too suffocating, and all Emma could feel was the tight grip of his power around her throat, choking the life out of her.Her heart raced in her chest as his cold, steady gaze burned through her. The moment his hand wrapped around her wrist, she felt it—the unrelenting force that demanded her submission. The threat in his words was real, unmistakable, like the cold steel of a trap closing in."If you run, I'll make sure you regret it," Damon’s voice was low, menacing, as if it was an afterthought—something he'd say just for fun.Emma’s breath hitched. The words weren’t just a threat, they were a promise. But her eyes flickered, a flash of defiance sparking deep inside."I’m not afraid of you," Emma whispered, trying to summon some shred of strength in her voice
