The journey to the northern Lianyun City took 7 days for an ordinary human, but Ye Xuan and her two friends were a little special. The three of them have good speed and stamina, so the journey takes less than 2 days.
“Wutu Sachuan quickly contact your parents, we gather again in the market. Wen Lu follow me to the edge of the forest.” Ye Xuan immediately walked over to the gatekeeper who had been on guard all night.
“Uncle, do you still remember me?” ye Xuan asked with a sweet smile, she was wearing the uniform of the Tianlong Sect an outer disciple who was white with a light blue variant.
“Ye Xuan, you're growing tall!” the gatekeeper's uncle replied, he immediately hugged Ye Xuan, that happy look like he was looking at his son coming home.
“True, Uncle. I managed to become a disciple of the Tianlong Sect. How's aunty?”
The conversation between the two of them continued, the two people seemed to enjoy the time together so much that Wen Lu and the other gatekeeper were neglected. After quite a while, Ye Xuan finally began to offend about the mountain bandits whose news was about to attack the city.
“True, they threatened everyone to hand over someone surnamed Wutu. Lianyun Town has been a lot of refugees lately, so we slightly ignored the entrance procedures. As a result we cannot identify people surnamed Wutu.”
The explanation of the gatekeeper uncle was reasonable, even though the mountain bandits were threatening everyone, they were unlikely to attack the city for no apparent reason.
“Do any officials collude with them?” asked Ye Xuan in a soft voice.
The gatekeeper's uncle brought his mouth closer to Ye Xuan's ear then whispered, “Part of the officials in Lianyun town colluded with them. The proof when the bandits rob the market people the owner of the city is silent.”
After digging through a lot of information, Ye Xuan was finally able to draw the conclusion that the mountain bandits were only bribing officials in the region without any interference from the Tianlong Sect. He could move freely if there was no interference of the Tianlong Sect.
Discord between brothers has become commonplace in the cultivation world, the innate nature of humans is greedy. So we all have to control that trait to become a better person. That was what the gatekeeper's uncle told Ye Xuan who was already 15 years old.
“Come we to market.” Ye Xuan led the way. Wen Lu followed from behind, he did not speak for 3 whole hours.
After reaching the market, Wutu Sachuan along with his father and mother approached him. His father's condition was very concerning, his clothes were dirty and tattered. Despite that, Wutu Sachuan's father was a cultivator at the 9th level of the Golden Core realm. His mother was also no less apprehensive, one leg was injured until her bones were broken, she was also a level 8 Gold Core realm cultivator.
Five people directly exited the city, they hid in the forest bordering between the Northern and Southern Lianyun Town. Ye Xuan immediately took out an herbal medicine to treat the wounds of both of Wutu Sachuan's parents. Wen Lu and Ye Xuan had no parents, they could only envy Wutu Sachuan who still had two doting parents.
“Uncle, Aunty you guys should rest first. Those bandits are unlikely to chase us.” Ye Xuan said it just to force old man Wutu Sachuan to sleep and rest. Having two Gold Core people would naturally help the development of Ye Xuan and her two best friends.
“No need, I've healed.”
“Dad, trust him. I already thought of him as my brother.” Wutu Sachuan interrupted the conversation, he stopped his father from waking up.
“Kakak? Aren't you older than him?” ask Wutu Sachuan's mother who is still sitting leaning against a tree.
“Life does not determine a person's strength, Mother.”
After they finished the conversation, Ye Xuan sensed that someone was coming closer. “Prepare your weapons, there are unwanted guests,” Ye Xuan said in a soft voice.
Wutu Sachuan and Wen Lu immediately took out their weapons, as did Wutu Sachuan's parents who had already pulled out swords.
“Dad, mom. Just take a break, we can handle it.” Wutu Sachuan told his two masters to sit down and rest.
Ye Xuan nodded at Wen Lu, they directly lunged at the mountain bandits who were trying to follow him. There were 10 people who were in the realm of Establishment level 1 to 3.
Wen Lu nodded, he directly descended the tree and started walking around. Despite running fast, his existence was so thin that it was not noticed by the pursuing bandits.
Ye Xuan revealed her form, she unsheathed a rusty sword that had been unused for a long time. “Who are you guys, why follow me?” asked Ye Xuan confidently. Though a group of bandits just want to patrol so that Wutu Sachuan's parents do not run away.
“Fucking boy, who are you?”
“I am a disciple of Tianlong Sect!” Ye Xuan proudly mentioned the sect lord of Lianyun city.
Instead of being afraid, the 10 bandits in front of him laughed heartily even one of them fell down from the tree laughing.
“What's really why? you don't accept?”
“Yes, you hurt my pride!” said Ye Xuan in a loud voice.
One of the mountain bandits quickly lunged at Ye Xuan, he used a sword as his weapon. Ye Xuan who got an attack from a dodging swordsman relaxed, his sword swing swiftly executed the mountain bandit right around his neck.
“I warned you. Better not run away or your life will drift!” said Ye Xuan filled with killing intent, the Force skill was used to suppress the remaining 9 bandits.
Although one of their comrades was killed, no one was concerned at all. They actually do a suit to determine who will go forward first. Until finally one person managed to win and advance against Ye Xuan.
His enemy this time carried a 2-meter long axe, his posture was also very sturdy but he was only a person in the realm of 1st level Establishment. Even so Ye Xuan did not underestimate him, she put on a standby stance and her eyes stared focused towards the enemy.
The footstep of the axe-carrying man was very fast, who would have thought with such a large body but he could run quite fast. Unfortunately it was nothing more than a snail before Ye Xuan. After the arms of his enemy swung, Ye Xuan had already swung her sword until executing her opponent. One other bandit fell, Ye Xuan still had not received an attack.
“A cocky boy, everyone attack!” shouted the leader of the patrol group. He also unsheathed his sword to stab towards Ye Xuan.
Not wanting to waste any time, Ye Xuan instantly took a stance to activate the Absolute Kill skill. Before the enemy touched the ground, Ye Xuan managed to unleash her skills perfectly. Four bandits were executed very quickly, leaving only 4 bandits.
“Why confused, let's attack me!” ye Xuan said in a tone full of provocation.
The leader of the patrol group had three members advance, while he retreated to seek support. Ye Xuan who had already predicted that was casually taking care of the three bandits.
Being not in a rushed condition, Ye Xuan slightly played with the three bandits. Not forgetting he honed his fighting skills and increased his skill mastery level.
Despite having fought for quite a while, Ye Xuan had only slightly increased her skill mastery. Finally he decided to end the lives of the three bandits with Absolut Kill.
[Absolute Kill (B): 12%
Shadow Sword (D): 3%
Automatic Qi Circulation (E):32%
Shadow Step (C) :17%.]
The letter after the name of the skill was a level by the system, different from the level of the cultivation world.
