“By now, your name has spread all over the sect, Little Sister! No, not just the sect, but the entire Leaf City--that there exists the pride of the Ye Sect, a little genius girl who has cultivated to the Foundational Spirit Realm before the age of ten!”
It turned out that Li Ci was the main culprit why his friends were acting like little fangirls fawning all over Yin. As the only son of a Protector of Ye Sect, he was among the handful of disciples who personally witnessed Yin’s strength from her spar against the silly brat representing the CIty Lord Manor during last night’s banquet.
Yin, as someone taken in under Ye Mo’s banner, was already pretty infamous when she stayed in the Ye Sect due to her unknown origins, which pretty much raised hell among

122 - Do We Simply Wait For Rescue? (1)“Prepare to defend your people,” Yin’s words brought the laughter within the pavilion into a halt.If it were Ye Mo or his nephew Ye Hua--or perhaps even the old servant Xiao Ku--who came to hear those words of caution coming out of Yin’s mouth, they would have immediately jumped out, fully alert and ready to battle.However, those currently accompanying Yin at the moment were merely ordinary disciples who were at most in the later stages of the Body Washing Realm. They did not have the awareness of the current danger, neither do they have the strength to protect themselves nor detect the abnormality in their surroundings.That was why they only gawked at the little girl who rose from her seat and stared at the entr

123 - Do We Simply Wait For Rescue? (2) Inside one of the spacious courtyards within the Tenth Peak, a simple-looking man was threading along a determined path with agile steps. Several footprints could be seen on the grass, the deep dents on the ground showing how the man’s feet never ventured out from the same exact spots as he repeated a certain footwork over and over again. At the same time, his right arm was waving around with purpose, hacking and slashing his bamboo sword in the air. Bamboo swords were practice swords crafted from a kind of light versatile wood, which would normally not injure a normal martial artist once hit, or else it would break once too much force was exerted on it. From the calluses on the man’s hand, it was obvious that he was someone who had used a real sword for more than a decade, yet his demeanor did not drop despite using a n

124 - Do We Simply Wait For Rescue? (3) As Ye Mo repeated the motions of the Song of the Autumn Sword once more, he found himself unable to immerse himself in the image of a falling leaf in his mind’s eye. The blade of any sword was meant to cut, and the Way of the Sword was to effectively cut everything in the weapon’s path. This was the general truth held in belief by every swordsman, be they an ordinary weapon user or a dedicated sword cultivator like Ye Mo. Even if he were to ask Ye Hua, Wu Xuan’er or any of the Battle Court disciples, they would answer him in similar ways. However, the Song of the Autumn Sword was an exemption. Or more like an anomaly. Among the many tomes, scrolls and skill books in the sect’s Grand Library, sword techniques were generally divided int

He slowly turned and stared at Ye Hua, as if waiting for his mild-mannered, cold-faced nephew to say he was cracking a joke.Of course, Ye Hua was not that type of guy.“Xuan’er told me that Little Yin did not turn up for lunch” Ye Hua continued with a sombre tone. Ye Mo’s eyes went round and he nearly dropped the sword he was holding. That was the kind of shock he received.Ye Mo’s face turned serious. “That girl, she will not miss a meal, even if she has to destroy half the sect just to get over to the dining table.”“Ex

Just as Ye Mo and Ye Hua stepped into the inner courtyard within the central regions of the Main Peak where the Patriarch of the Ye Sect resides, the sight of a thin old man with a wizened face and long silvery hair leisurely arranging a chessboard greeted them. Aside from here, the courtyard was empty of disciples and servants. It was as if the place was isolated from the outside world. “Junior Ye Mo greets Senior Ye Hanzhong.” Ye Mo cupped his hands in salute towards the old man. Although they both belonged to the Council of Elders, the First Elder Ye Hanzhong was not only some

127 - Where is Little Yin? (3) Patriarch Ye Wuqing. An old man with braided white hair, still strong as a bear in the waist and supple as a tiger in the back despite his age being near the twilight age. Unlike First Elder Ye Hanzhong who looked like a frail scholar, Patriarch Ye Wuqing was the embodiment of a fierce white tiger still in his peak, who would not hesitate to pounce on an enemy who dares step foot in his mountain territory. The title, "Strongest among the Ye Sect," was something not just anybody could wear. The position of "Patriarch" was equally a burden not an ordinary cultivator could carry. Thus, despite being someone who focused on his own cultivation most of the year, Ye Wuqing was a person no one among the sect, nor the other factions within the Le

128 - Is There Anyone Out There We Can Trust?Little Yin allowed herself to be captured.Although the claim would not have made sense to any other person, Ye Mo agreed with Patriarch Ye Wuqing's evaluation. Call it blind belief or absolute faith, but as the person who had interacted with Little Yin the most, never had there arisen a reason for him to truly worry about her safety. Even that short eventful trip to the Ming Yue Sect was something surprising but not dangerous for that little obnoxious brat. In fact, she was the one who gained the most without relying on anyone. Ye Mo and Princess Zhi Ruo merely took care of the cover story after the looting--the revenge was done.These things, Ye Mo had informed both Ye Wuqing and Ye Hanzhong later on. On the outside, the First and Second Lineage of the Ye Clan were not c

Even if cultivators with powerful nascent souls and sensitive divine senses were to pass by it, they would not notice that a cottage existed in that location.Only those who specialize in the study of formations and arrays were capable of detecting it.A kind of formation that none of the array masters within the Leaf City could manage to break, and would even take Little Yin about an hour to destroy if she were to use everything in her arsenal.Compared to rune arrays that affect the so

Scholar Rai held the ancient scroll between two calloused fingers, studying the faded ink with narrowed eyes. The papyrus was brown with age, the content written in a verbose and grand manner, as was usually the case with writings from hundreds of years ago. Its importance could not be translated into words. In fact, it surprised him that his lord father managed to keep these imperial treasures away from the capital.It had taken him twice the usual time to understand the runes. He found himself impressively overwhelmed not only by the sheer historic importance of these documents, but also because the prophecies spoke of the expiration of the bloods of the Old.He feared that the first of the visions written have come into passing.The scrolls he found were written by the last of the true prophets, during a time of historic darkness, the Legaliath Cross, back when magic was free to be harnessed by every man and woman and child.

"You find this funny, Silver?" This was the first time that Lakas had directly addressed her in a conversation. She could not help but shudder at the slight amusement that colored his normally stern voice. "He could have killed you."Her smile widened.Lakas almost mirrored her expression, but then when he realized that he had spectators in the form of the other three girls inside her cage, he erased any trace of emotion from his face. "The four of you are currently part of the most prized collection of the emperor, but let me warn you. Not all warriors in this camp think the same as I do. You girls are precious, but you are replaceable. Think before you act."As soon as he left, the oldest of the girls, a beauty with curly flaxen hair and foliage green eyes scooted close to her. It was the first time anyone attempted to communicate with her. Most of the time, she was simply left alone in her corner of the cage.

The survivors were placed in metal cages where the heathens could openly leer at them, appreciating the goods before they were sold. The young warrior called Lakas looked incredibly silly with parchment and quill in his bloody hands, and his annoyed look did not escape her when he was tasked to make an inventory of the slaves."Name?"While the prisoners around her sobbed and wailed for their losses, Enna merely tried to make herself small in a corner. She never spoke. She never raised her head.Lakas snatched her chin. He was scowling. "Name?"When she refused to answer, the bald man behind Lakas growled before backhanding her. "Stupid girl! Tell us your name so that we can be done with this sham and leave!"Elbows shaking, she sat up, gazing at them with tired silvery eyes. Still, she did not open her mouth."You – "Lakas stopped the man with a wave. "Drop it. I will simply write Silver."The man smirked.

*She woke up to a strangled sound akin to an injured animal.Crying.Someone was crying.As the sound grew louder, she stirred, slowly, groaning due to the escalating pain at the base of her skull. Opening her eyes, she saw bloody bodies around her. Bile rose, and she emptied the contents of her stomach into the scarlet snow. After a few fuzzy seconds, she realized with relief that most of the bodies around her appeared to be moving. Bloody, but alive. She profusely thanked the good Spirits that there were people who still lived, despite the nagging thought that most of them would have preferred to have died along with their dignity and families.Her arms and feet were bound. Bound with thick ropes. She tried to stretch her legs, grasping too late that she was merely a stride away from the big fire that her captors made.She flinched from the pain.It was the same kind of burning pain that paralyzed her before she blacked out.It was also her first memory.

The heathens burned the temples. They attacked the farms. They destroyed everything from tiny peasant homes to historical monuments more than hundreds of years old. People who resisted died. People who surrendered died. The snow-clad village of Cardia was stained red. Blood of men. Blood of women. Blood of children.The enemy's arrival was silent; their attack sudden. The sleepy spell brought by winter on the border village was broken by animalistic screams of pain. Cries of people burning were everywhere. There were shrieks of villagers dying. By midnight, half of Cardian population was slain mercilessly by the bronze-skinned men covered in wolf pelts.The invaders relished the sight of the pale people bleeding, enjoying every slash of sword and arrow released as the village burned. They meant to annihilate every Northerner. They were humans on bloodlust — hungry predators on the hunt.They proudly called themselves the sons of Summer.

Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (3)A fair-skinned human girl no taller than the height of his waist, wearing a satin robe that was neither stained by blood or mud. Big eyes on a small face, perfectly arranged black hair in a style of braided bun, delicately balanced features that indicated she would surely grow into a gorgeous young lady given a few years.Her adorable appearance made one have an urge to pinch her chubby cheeks, and if there were any females around, Ye Mo felt that they would fawn over how the little girl looked like a beautiful living, breathing doll.‘And it’s not a sight that should be seen in the middle of a battlefield.’Ye Mo tried to open his mouth to say something, but he remained unable to utter even a single word.‘Dangerous.’It didn’t make sense, but that was what his intuition was telling Ye Mo. His body wasn’t responding—there was no flight impulse, no, there wasn’t even an attempt to fight against the girl, even if it’s a last act of survi

She felt like staying would give her a huge headache, but she was tied up by all the connections she made in this city.The Qing Blessed Lands had officially entered the state of war.Though communication was crippled, Little Yin was able to overhear the intelligence gathered by the hidden experts brought by the Purple Plumed General.Immortal Wuwei’s timely arrival managed to save Ye Sect and the entire Leaf City, but that wasn’t the same with the other cities.

264 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (1) “Uncle, are you all right?” It was Ye Hua who first noticed that Ye Mo was acting strange. The man’s eyes were looking at the people in the room as if they were people he had not seen for a long time. There was recognition in his gaze, as well as a kind of dissonance. “Huh? Yeah…yeah…” After staying unconscious for days and almost crossing the fine line of life and death, it was reasonable for Ye Mo to be in a daze, and everyone thought so as well. But Ye Hua’s intuition was telling him that his uncle was not just confused, but actually not in a normal state of mind. However, he decided to stay quiet. Because he felt that Little Yin had something to do with this. The young man’s eyes glanced in the direction of the little girl, who brought them all towards the room saying that Ye Mo should be waking up soon. Ye Hua remembered that incident several days ago, that eerie darkness that made his soul tremble. A power that could oppose n

Confusion was the only thing he could feel aside from the head-splitting pain, though he was trying to calm himself and follow the words of the little girl to embrace his memories.‘Since I died, shouldn’t I undergo samsara? Why am I seeing the memories of my former reincarnations?’What happened to him before he appeared and walked around that endless darkness?No, wait, what was he doing before the little girl appeared?He was swinging his sword against—The little girl frowned when she saw the images swimming inside his mind.“Outers.”Gaaaasp!She reached out her small chubby hands and touched the crown of his head, and she channeled her spiritual energy inside his body, focusing it on erasing those images that did not belong to him or to this era.“You are in so much pain because you took a peek at
