“What brings our Little Mo to request for a private audience with the Patriarch?” an old, dry voice asked the moment the guards outside opened the large double doors.
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

129 - Bastards Who Did Not Even Prepare Food for Their Lovely CaptiveInside an abandoned cottage hidden deep in the middle of the forest at the outskirts of Leaf City, a powerful trapping formation surrounded the wooden lodging, causing a mystical fog to cover the entirety of the cottage. 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

130 - Mark of Stupidity (1)A fairly tall lady in a majestic phoenix robe caught the poison needle with an iron fan. She had a delicate, melon seed face with little make-up and had a luxurious figure, curvy in all the right places yet with a waist so thin she looked like she wasn't even eating.“You look well, Little Yin,” the lady casually laughed as she studied the poison needle embedded on her artifact. “You don’t look surprised that I am here?”A familiar face. A familiar voice.It was Third Princess Zhi Ruo, one of the Saintesses of Ming Yue Sect who was not only the daughter of its Supreme Elder and sister of the current Sect Leader, but also of imperial blood as her maternal family came from none other than the Qing Clan.

It was a futile attempt in the first place.Little Yin found the woman stupid, but she’s the kind of stupid that was somehow trained to be tight-lipped.The two of them merely threw probing questions at each other, as if they were in the middle of an aristocratic tea party with blades hidden behind their smiles.

It would have been less a hassle to decode if the formation was something like the Ancient Nine Heart Laws Banning Array which relies purely on runes and the natural qi of the world. With Little Yin’s ability to easily understand the flaws of the runes, she could target them to create an opportunity for her to break or control the formation.However, this trapping formation was something that did not rely merely on runes. It had used a precious artifact as the eye of the array along with spiritual stones containing traces of the Dao of Lightning and Thunder, causing the strength of the physical barrier to be seve

The Central Regions are indeed much better than the Desolate North!” A middle-aged man with white brows and peppered hair continued to exclaim as he looked down at the scenery below the flying white crane he was riding. None of those seated beside him were paying attention, as this energetic and loud behavior of the man was something they were long accustomed to. “Senior Brother Yun, that forest--” “You with the surn

134 - And They Finally Arrived! (2)To be honest, the twelve-year-old Wu Yifan by himself would not have made a real difference to the situation even if he were to really go back to Leaf City. Like most young masters from prestigious families, he was someone who started cultivating at the age of ten, and after having a fateful meeting with his master four months ago, had formally entered into a master-disciple relationship with him after his exceptional talent was discovered.It had only been more than three months since he bade farewell to his family and now, he was being summoned back.Even if he was a son of the Wu Family Patriarch, he was merely the youngest one, for he had four older brothers, the eldest already half-step into the Core Formation Realm, while the others were in the middle and late stag

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. The Cardians called them heathens from the Sout

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.

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
