In the old days, besides the Eight Minor Sects and the Four Major Sects, there were two lesser-known sects in the Jianghu known as the "Deception Sect" and the "Beggar Sect." Those who specialized in scams and petty theft could be categorized under the Deception Sect, while the Beggar Sect consisted of professional beggars with systematic training, not seeking sustenance but rather extorting money from others. These two sects were fundamentally different from the Eight Minor Sects, which relied on people's…- 380.6 K • Completed
- The city's train station had undergone an expansion a couple of years ago during a major municipal infrastructure upgrade, resulting in two rather modern and high-end waiting rooms. Unfortunately, the city wasn't a transportation hub, and the number of trains passing through was already quite limited. Despite the large investment, it only added a bit of prestige to the previous leadership's achievements, while the rest of the funds essentially went down the drain. Now, with the summer and winter vacations…

- Early the next morning, cinnabar and talisman paper were delivered to the hospital, both purchased by Heipi from reliable stores specifically for drawing talismans. However, when Wei Yang presented these items to Zhang Xiuqi, the latter shook his head slightly, showing no intention of using them. "What's wrong? Are these not suitable?" Wei Yang frowned. Heipi was always reliable; if he said they were top quality, they definitely were. "Can't use them." Zhang Xiuqi shook his head again and added, "At…

- When Zhang Xiuqi woke up, the first thing he felt was a cool sensation on his chest. He frowned slightly and looked down, noticing a delicately crafted Bodhi bead shaped like a lotus hanging around his neck. The coolness emanating from the bead brought a calming Zen-like tranquility. Under the soothing effect of the Bodhi bead, the lingering shadows in his mind began to gradually settle, becoming more docile and controllable, no longer as irritating as before. Shifting his gaze from the Bodhi bead, he…

- Director Sun had indeed not left the city. Given the complexity of the case and his forced involvement, there was still a lot of work to wrap up. Moreover, he was waiting for Master Wei's call, so he couldn't leave early. However, the call from the hospital came as a shock. Master Wei wasn't calling to retrieve the "ritual instrument" but to continue the exorcism, and he had even brought Monk Chizhi with him. Director Sun personally went to the entrance to greet them, his usually stern and official…

- The hospital room was extremely quiet, with no windows open, no television on, and most of the monitoring equipment turned off. The excellent soundproofing made the room feel like an isolated island, free from any outside disturbances. In this silence, the faint sound of breathing was amplified many times over, becoming impossible to ignore. Zhang Xiuqi's gaze turned to his side, where the breathing sound was coming from. Someone was lying there, deeply asleep. Perhaps due to the relief and relaxation…

- That night, six police cars arrived, and over a dozen criminal police officers were busy arresting suspects and sealing off the scene for most of the night. In the end, the case in Wang Family Village was classified as a "tomb raiding gang feud," resulting in 4 deaths and 5 serious injuries, with many suspects still at large. Over twenty nationally protected cultural relics were seized from the gang's warehouse, making it the largest criminal case cracked by the city this year. However, despite the…

- Accompanying the figure that lunged forward was a brilliant, silvery flash of light. Zhang Xiuqi swung the short blade in his hand. This sword, named Suihou, was said to have been enshrined alongside several other divine weapons in the Weiyang Palace. Later, due to the chaos caused by Dong Zhuo, it was taken out of the palace and acquired by Zhang Sheng, a descendant of the Celestial Master lineage. Even within the deeply rooted Longhu Mountain, this sword was considered a rare and precious treasure, a…

- There were no sparks of electricity, no explosive cracks of Heaven's Break. With a stiff step, the Corpse Puppet walked out of the Copper Coin Formation. Sun Muhua let out a choking sound from his throat, trembling all over as he tried to grab Wei Yang's sleeve, but he grabbed nothing. The man beside him had already stood up. "Woody, keep an eye on Brother Qi. I'll lure it away," Wei Yang said, his face pale but his back straight as he stepped out of the circle of Red Nitre beside him. He could feel…

- The candle flames in the room flickered simultaneously, their cores wavering as if brushed by an invisible hand, teetering on the verge of extinguishing. Yet, in this dim light, Wei Yang witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life. A slender black rope extended from the mouth of the humanoid monster, nearly a meter long, wriggling and squirming like the tentacle of some coelenterate. His heart pounded fiercely. Although the Three Corpses were born as one, their forms differed. The…
