Chapter 316 - Silent Wind Death Sutra
Wu Yan flew toward us, her long black hair streaming behind her like a banner as she wobbled on her flying sword.
Clinging to her was Fu Yating, rigid and pale, gripping Wu Yan’s waist like her life depended on it. Her expression was pure instant regret. The sword trembled beneath them, not in a majestic, Qi-fueled show of pow...

Following Zun Gon's declaration, a heavy silence settled over the hall like a velvet curtain.
These were the upper echelons of the sect, elders who had lived through calamities, wars, betrayals, and golden eras alike. They were not the type to clap or cheer. They did not wear their emotions on their sleeves.
But their eyes told anothe...

It was amazing how much progress could be made when two minds worked in tandem, especially when two professionals focused on the same problem.
Ideas bounced between us, overlapping and refining, and in the process, Song San and I learned a lot from each other. Well, at least I learned from him. The guy was a snake and cockroach kind o...

After the letter and the lunch, which was delicious as always, I headed to another appointment I had planned.
This one took place at a small building on the outer sect. It looked like a stone bunker, with a thick wooden door at the front engraved in dark writings. Simple alarm and notification arrays and nothing too complex.

I trailed behind my disciples as we made our way back to the sect, watching their backs as they chatted quietly between themselves. They hadn’t made any noteworthy mistakes, and for their first real outing, that was enough. All things considered, they did a good job and returned safely. No injuries. No panic. Just a lit...

With the help of my cute disciples, we lined up all the monstrous beast corpses in neat rows, nearly a hundred of them, sprawled across the ground like trophies after a lengthy hunt. Their bodies were heavy, some still twitching with residual nerves, but we worked with practiced efficiency. Once everything was in pla...

Qi flickered around Tingfeng's body like flame dancing on the whims of the wind, uncontrolled, wild, and not quite his to command. He quickly grasped the situation, manipulating his Qi as if it were second nature. It wrapped around him like a skin-tight suit.
His Qi control was surprisingly compact and efficient for someone in his ...

“This is quite the technique,” Song Song said, sending a sweet smile my way.
I nodded, silently agreeing with her decision not to say the name of the technique out loud. But we both understood what kind of dangerous technique this was; it might even help her against whatever her father had planned.
“This should even your...

When returning to the sect, we took a detour, explored a few ruins that led nowhere, and helped some villages along the way by slaughtering monstrous beasts and leaving their carcasses as food for the people.
The whole way back, I kept an eye on Wu Yan. Slowly, she began losing the temperament she had gained from imitating me. S...

I woke up from sleeping in the grass as the early morning sun hit my face. The blades beneath me were still wet with dew, cool against my skin, and the earthy scent of damp soil and greenery filled my nose.
I took a deep, cold breath and let the crisp air seep into my lungs. It was sharp at first, like ice water splashed ...

The Qi around her moved softly. It wasn’t going to be a difficult or violent kind of breakthrough. But at the same time, it wasn’t as seamless as mine. And while I logically knew she would be fine even if she failed, a thousand thoughts raced through my head.
We’d talked about her breakthrough and her element plenty of times, but...

After the battle and my stealing a Sky Grade Technique, life returned to normal. I finally had time for myself again, having distanced myself from Sect politics.
Now, one of my biggest concerns was whether I should set up a spring array around the library pagoda as well. I hadn’t realized how beautiful it looked, grass and flowe...

Everyone else was bowing to the Blazing Sun Immortal, heads lowered in reverence or fear. I dropped to one knee too, not out of respect, but simply to avoid drawing attention.
Yet my mind was elsewhere.
It felt weirdly anticlimactic that we’d already dealt with the threat I thought would wipe us out, or outright de...

Zun Gon lay sprawled on the ground, fragments of the shattered gate strewn around him. His robes were torn and bloodied. He was unconscious. The only reason he wasn’t dead was because the other guy hadn’t gone all out. But he hadn’t exactly held back either as a raw, burning gash tore across Zun Gon’s chest. Potentially fatal.

I glanced at the Core Elders to read their reactions, but nothing about them seemed out of the ordinary. They didn’t need to speak, as they already knew what would happen next. Each one understood the strengths and specialties of the others. After all, the lion was a prime target.

Song San and I sat on a jade platform flying above the sect grounds. He stared straight at me while I pretended not to notice, keeping my eyes fixed on the snow-covered earth rushing beneath us, pretending it wasn’t uncomfortable.

I pulled on the latch of the trap door, and a burst of cold air rushed out, curling around my fingers like a serpent made of frost. It carried the scent of damp stone and something faintly metallic, old blood or rusted iron.

Tingfeng stood, breath ragged, his shoulders rising and falling with each inhale. A fine sheen of sweat clung to his forehead, trickling down the side of his face.

I looked at the cozy home I’d built next to the inner library. This area used to be a bustling commercial district, so I notified Zun Gon I was “taking the first step in rebuilding it.”
That was just the excuse I gave him.

On a cold winter morning, I sat inside a newly built restaurant nestled in the inner part of the Sect.

With them agreeing so fast, I hadn't even had the chance to bring up the Sky Grade Technique.
