Chapter 51: Journey East

There was no way the letter was forged seeing as it had a general’s seal on it. However, whether or not its contents were true was the issue here.

Chapter 50: Zhang Sun Leaves the Palace!

It was way past midnight and the biting cold winds had grown even chillier.

The pagoda was over 30 meters tall and took quite a bit of struggling on part before …

Chapter 49: The Frigid Coattails

As the moonlight shone through the paper windows, it imprinted the silhouette of the skewered assassin onto the window. The sensation of driving of his sword into a body was simply exquisite to say the least. That sensation was akin to breaking a fragile piece of porcelain, satisfying to the point it could break his heart. Ning Chen had never …

Chapter 48: The Elegance Behind a Sword

By now, Ning Chen had already ran out of platitudes to give. With a hint of exasperation in his tone, he simply answered, “I fell.” The manager’s brows furrowed as he took a couple of quick strides forward and grabbed the teen’s wrist. With his fingers on the teen’s wrist, his face face grew even graver as the artery pulsed …

Chapter 47: Returning to the Imperial City

As the white foal’s mournful neighs echoed behind him, Ning Chen’s heart was like a stone, unmoving and cold.

The black wheelchair wheeled along, clattering on the stone pavement beneath as it ploughed two …

Old Man Lu’s courtyard was messy to say the least with barely any place to step. Yet this old man didn’t seem to mind at all and even seemed keen on expanding the mess.

Chapter 45: Sword City

In the midst of his voracious eating, Ning Chen abruptly halted his gobbling and turned towards the manager, a terrifying look of hunger flashing across his eyes. “Manager, I don’t think all my dishes have been served yet.” “I…I’ll go prepare them now.” Stammered the manager as he began sweating buckets from the terrifying stare. With the manager gone, Ning …

Chapter 44: A White Clothed Man

The exit was a wide seam that appeared to have been formed from an axe tearing open a rift in space itself. Had it not been for the golden light illuminating it, Ning Chen would’ve probably missed it thanks to the sheer darkness of the surroundings. This damned world just seemed to be full of damned things that were just …

Chapter 43: Nether Child

Ning Chen was annoyed, more so than ever before. He had suffered so much, ended up falling for someone else’s schemes and even almost died in an illusion. Now, he finally managed to reach the treasure room, yet he couldn’t take the treasures!? This maddening ache in his heart was as if someone had stabbed him with a blade and …

Chapter 42: Underworld Court

As the giant doors creaked open, what greeted the pair was not some unidentified treasure, but was instead a pitch black void with nothing in sight, not even the walls. It was nothing but an empty void. Steeling himself, Ning Chen rolled into the all consuming darkness, yet before he even managed to move another inch forward, the sound of …
