LEGENDARY SWORDSMAN LING
57. Travelling North West.

On the outskirts of the Yin Valley!

An hour has passed! all those who had survived the mission, had returned to Xinjiang City.

But Ling Qiubai and his two colleagues still have not moved back, to the city of Xinjiang.

Under the willow tree, Ling Qiubai, Yin Fei and Duan Tian were resting while opening up a conversation between them.

"Brother Jianling. After this, you will return with us to Xinjiang city? " Said Yin Fei.

"Hmm, it looks like I'm not going back to the city of Xinjiang. I will continue my journey towards North Southwest!" Ling Qiubai.

After experiencing some of the events of the past four months, a determination to increase strength and add to the experience, before returning to collect the blood debt, from the Tower of Justice.

Wandering through each place was the right goal, to be strong and continue to hone all the Martial Arts he had.

"What's? To the north." Yin Fei and Duan Tian were shocked.

"Brother, in the Northern plains there the conditions are very dangerous. Moreover, the War conflict between the five Dynasties, North Jin, West Jin, Shui, Zhou and Tang" Duan Tian said with serious experience.

Then Duan Tian again said;" According to the information from my Duan family, the five Dynasties' conflict has already spread to Karqan City. Although the city of karqan was part of the Tianzong Dynasty, it was outside the control of the Tianzong Dynasty." Said Duan Tian.

" yes. Right now, it was only the middle land controlled by the safest Tianzong Dynasty, to travel, "Yin Fei connected Duan Tian's words.

"Brother! Especially in the high land of snow that you will pass through, there is the existence of the outback residents who do not have hospitality towards the residents of Tianzong Dynasty, " Said Duan Tian with a serious expression staring at Ling Qiubai.

Although Duan Tian and Yin Fei had provided some information about the condition of the mainland in the North there, it did not make Ling Qiubai's determination shrink.

"Brother, do you still want to wander the Northern plains there? " Duan Tian said curiously.

"Yes, I have decided today I will leave for the North." Ling Qiubai said with full of determination.

"Jianling, you have to be careful, even if you are currently strong enough. But in the North there are countless powerful warriors" Yin Fei said.

"Brother, Okay. If in the future you are back on this central mainland, don't forget to meet this brother of yours at the Duan Clan's residence in Xinjiang city, "Said Duan Tian.

"Thank you brother Duan and sister Yin Fei! If nothing else, let's split up here, "Said Ling Qiubai respectfully, and turned around to walk into the Yin Valley.

"Brother, you should return in the future, I will treat you to Ningxia Wine," Duan Tian shouted very loudly towards Ling Qiubai who had turned away.

Yin Fei just missed Ling Qiubai's departure without saying! His gaze was so complicated and there was a slight sense of loss in his heart, and was immediately startled by Duan Tian's words.

"Chairman Fei, let's go back to Xinjiang city." Said Duan Tian.

"Yes," Yin Fei nodded and the two walked back to Xinjiang city.

..............

Under the extreme snow weather, surrounded by snow tulip plants and ice mountains.

Ling Qiubai had been three days past the Yin valley.

In these three days, he continued walking without any problems, at night he took time to rest his stomach and train.

"Hmm, I have walked three days down this Valley, yet there is not a single danger I encounter," Ling Qiubai muttered to himself.

"If there is no problem, it should be today I will pass through the settlements of the tribal people inland." Ling Qiubai muttered and continued to step down the road towards the north.

Five hours had passed by Ling Qiubai! sunset twilight at the western end of the horizon has shown the moon line, a moment will greet the dark.

A distance of 200 meters from where Ling Qiubai was standing, there was visible life activity.

"There it is? like it was the settlement of the tribes inhabiting this snow mountain, "Ling Qiubai muttered.

He continued to walk towards the tents of the hinterland tribes. Until a while, he had entered the settlement of an inland tribal group.

Suddenly a middle-aged man with after gray clothes, among them met Ling Qiubai.

"I'm sorry swordsman, I'm Monsul Khan, who are you? and what is the purpose of the warrior's arrival into our territory? " Said the middle-aged man.

"I'm sorry Elder, I'm Dugu Jianling. I am a traveler who has just arrived in this place, and I am about to go to the city of Karqan!" Ling Qiubai.

"Did the swordsman come from Northern Shui? " The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes the Elder, I am from Northern Shui." Ling Qiubai said and nodded, in his disguise manner.

Northern Shui was a Dynasty that was currently in a war conflict with the other four Dynasties in the North.

So that the tribal elders inland named Monsul Khan can identify the origin of the Dugu clan, because the Dugu clan comes from Northern Shui.

Ling Qiubai by the name of Dugu Jianling As his pseudonym was about to venture north.

He knew the culture and customs of the people in the Northern mainland from Ju Peng and Duan Tian, that the inhabitants of the Northern mainland were very unfriendly to the people from the central mainland.

Moreover, the inland tribal groups that inhabit the snow mountains at the Border of Yin Valley and Karqan City, have never been friendly with the people of Central Mainland.

"Broker if you don't mind, tonight rest in our tent, after tomorrow you continue your journey to the city of Karqan," said the middle-aged man.

"Thank you, Elder." Ling Qiubai said respectfully. After which he followed Elder Monsul to the tent.

Tribal residents who inhabit snow mountains, on average live in groups of no more than 100 people led by one person, they are a family group that lives in the mountains.

Their culture was quite different from the mainland inhabitants of the Tianzong, Shui, Jin, Tang, and Zhou Dynasties.

Although they inhabited the highlands between the borders of the Tianzong, Shui, and Jin Dynasties. They have their own characteristics of the clothes they wear, as well as their names.

On average, they live relying on hunting, shepherding, love the art of music, and love to party.

They are all very reliable in using weapons such as; Arrows, making traps, Tompaks, reliable in the group's war standards and very sensitive to danger.

Currently Ling Qiubai with the middle-aged man named Monsul Khan, had entered the tent.

"Mr Dugu! I'm sorry if my conditions are not good" said the middle-aged man named Monsul Khan as he changed his call with respect.

After that he stared at introducing the people inside the tent and said; "Introduce the five of them are my family,"

"This is my wife Lyanhua, and the four of them, our Daughters Naran and Shona, and our Sons Orzul and Munkh."

Inside the tent were five men, two boys aged 3-5 and three women, one aged 40 and two aged 16-21.

"Greetings madam! Both Miss and Young Master" Ling Qiubai, said respectfully politely to them. And said; "I am Dugu Jianling of Northern Shui. Thank you for accepting me here."

"Greetings Mr. Dugu! no need to bother us, we are quite happy to be able to entertain guests like you." Madam Lyanhua said with a friendly smile

" Mister Dugu, please. Encourage me to enjoy the wine" said Monsul.

"Please Mr. Monsul," Ling Qiubai said, nodding and following Monsul out of the tent.

Outside the tent!

The darkness of the night is peppered The very cold air in the snowy highlands.

Seen the young boy along with the snow mountain tribe, spent the night enjoying the view of the campfire accompanied by a conversation of wine full of excitement and music and dance typical of the Inland Tribe.
