Staring at the guarded gate of the sect, Zhi Ruo found herself in a dilemma.
‘How do I enter the Ye Sect?’
It had been three hours since she separated from the merchant group she’s escorting and arrived at the entrance of the sect. Since she was not a reckless person in nature, she had decided to have a street snack in a nearby stall to watch and observe the people around her instead of storming in to directly challenge that Protector Ye Mo for a duel.
‘What a grand-looking sect! I can recognize some of the runes on the walls. It even has a guardian formation array! It somewhat resembles the designs of the manors in the imperial capital. Is this truly only a third-rate sect? Why do I find this hard to believ

242 - Recollections of the Tenth Peak (5)The vendor had a strange look on her face when Zhi Ruo posed that question. It was not a gaze of suspicion, but a kind of sly look that seemed to be saying, ‘Alas, another idiot has come’.It was the first time the princess had ever received such a look.‘Did I say something wrong?’ Zhi Ruo could not help but wonder.“Lady, did you just arrive at Leaf City?” the vendor asked. Seeing Zhi Ruo nod, the vendor lowered her voice. “I see, I see, then you must not have heard it yet. It is easy to ask the Protector for a spar; I heard he never turned down any challenge made against him. You just have to let your intentions be known, and you will be received by the Ye Sect as a guest. However, you came at

243 - Recollections of the Tenth Peak (6)The moment Ye Mo opened his heavy eyelids, he was immediately greeted by the face of a lanky teenager with a cold face. It was his young nephew, Ye Hua. Despite his expressionless appearance, one could notice that his eyes were red-rimmed.Ye Mo tried to sit up, but he realized that his body ached in ways it never did before. It was as if all the muscles and bones in his body had been torn and broken repeatedly, and then mended each time, only to be torn and broken again. Checking his body, it seemed like he was no longer suffering from any major injuries, but every bit of energy within his body was gone. His meridians were empty and brittle, and it seemed it would need to be carefully nourished before they could be used.“Uncle!” the boy called out with obvious relief i

244 - Recollections of the Tenth Peak (7)All heads turned towards Zhi Ruo. There was surprise, suspicion, curiosity…After all, didn’t she claim to be an ordinary mercenary?Despite her shock, Zh Ruo was able to keep a calm face, something that could be attributed to her being used to controlling her emotions as a Saintess of a Great Sect. She was more intrigued by this young man who appeared to be the same age as her.‘How did he discover my identity? It’s been barely five minutes since he was roused from sleep.’Zhi Ruo decided there was no use to keep sticking to her lie. “Protector Ye Mo sure has sharp eyes. I am indeed a disciple of the Ming Yue Sect. Due to circumstances, I have made my way

245 - The Elderless Tenth Peak (1)It had been several days since Zhi Ruo entered the Ye Sect.After Protector Ye Mo woke up, by the fifth day, he was already training himself with the sword in his backyard.‘But why is he using an ordinary bamboo sword?’Zhi Ruo found herself having very little exchange with the Protector ever since he woke up. Ye Mo no longer suffered from severe injuries, but he wasn’t back to his peak state. He mostly used his time concentrating in cultivation, which was of course something Zhi Ruo admired deeply.Back in the headquarters of the Ming Yue Sect, she had seen countless fellow disciples focus more on ingratiating themselves to those with higher ranks or with more f

248 - Please Bring Him Back! (1)Back to the present time, the Ye Sect remained in ruins.Thanks to the arrival of Immortal Wuwei and his disciples, the amount of casualties no longer increased, yet the damage from the attack of the demonic cultivators could not be measured in the short term.One could see Tenth Peak covered in a thick mist-like fog. Looking at it gave off a seamless, dreamy quality, as if it marked the boundary between reality and illusion, and if not for the gigantic mythical creature, the White Tiger, guarding the mountain, many innocent souls would have succumbed to the alluring temptation posed by the mist-like fog.WIth a wave of his paw, Immortal Wuwei was as if thunder roared in the area, warning anyone from coming closer.

249 - Please Bring Him Back! (2)For the original Yin, bringing back a soul into its host body would be as easy and quick as a snap of a finger, what more bringing back someone who had just recently died. It would take some effort, like someone with the sufficient skills and knowledge on souls, appropriate heavenly elixirs and tremendous qi, but with Immortal Wuwei and his disciples around, the last two factors wouldn’t be much of an issue.For the current Little Yin, trapped in a human body while having the cultivation of a peak Body Washing cultivator, it would at most take effort. She would have to somehow preserve Ye Mo’s soul and body separately until she somehow recovers her exhausted spiritual power.Forcefully possessing Wu Xuan’er had caused a heavy backlash to Little Yin’s soul,

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. "That man just protected you, Silver," Green Eyes laughed excitedly. "He

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. Awakened by a burning pain

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. Even the news about the situation in the imperial capital could not be found.That little pretty boy, Qing Wu You, wanted to return to check on his family.

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

263 – Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (5)‘I died?’Ye Mo tried to remember the last thing that happened to him, but only fragmented pieces of images appeared in his mind. 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
