The Hunted Hunter
Chapters 116. Continuing the Journey of Duty
The next day, Ma Guang and his troops resumed their march.
This was done because the situation in the region was considered to be controlled by the two great generals who were in the region.
And Ma Guang had also examined the soldiers who were the eyes of the Lai kingdom.
General Yang Bin himself, after some time later, will head to the city of Pingcheng as well and return along the border of the territory of the Qi kingdom which they have now mastered again and will stop by also in the city of Pingdu.
Ma Guang himself and his troops will travel through Yi'an city, Gaomi, Gumu which includes Jiaoxi province, Dongwu city Langya province, Langya province, Zhengquan and the city of Ju in Chengyang province and re-entered Langya province, Ganyu city, which is directly adjacent to the Chu kingdom.
The main purpose of Ma Guang's forces was to conduct patrols in the region directly adjacent to the neighboring kingdom.
And the distance they will travel until they arrive in the city of Ganyu is about 450 kilo meters. And that they can travel for fifteen hours if by racing their horses quickly.
But of course their journey must be slower than expected, because the stamina of the horse itself must always be maintained, in order to stay fit when used in combat.
Ma Guang only stopped by briefly at the court of the lord of Yi'an city for tea along with the city lord.
It also happened in the city of Gaomi and the city of Gumu.
But after arriving in Dongwu city, Ma Guang and his troops rested in the residence that had been prepared by the ruler of Dongwu city.
Nothing special happened while they were traveling this time. Until they arrive in the city of Ganyu.
Ma Guang immediately discussed the security situation in the region bordering the Chu kingdom.
But after hearing the explanation of the ruler of the city of Ganyu, the, Ma Guang now knows that as his name continues to do things that have shocked the martial world and the rulers of the kingdom - the kingdom that is in the territory of the Zhou empire. The Chu royal army that usually provoked the Qi kingdom's border guard troops as well as the Red Scorpion sect members, were now gone, and every villager felt safe and serene at this moment.
"So that's the current situation of the territory bordering the Chu kingdom? Then, tomorrow My army will continue on its way again". Ma Guang.
"City lord! I decided to retreat to rest". Ma Guang again.
The young man immediately walked away from the city palace and went straight to the residence prepared by the city lord of Ganyu.
In the imperial capital of Zhou as well as the rulers in the kingdom who were in the territory of the Zhou empire, it is now talking about Ma Guang being able to face a large enemy force with only five hundred troops trained.
It made king Ma Yen of Chu kingdom instantly feel pleased with the action he took to no longer provoke the troops from Qi kingdom and also forbid the Red Scorpion sect to no longer undermine the villagers were in the territory of the Qi kingdom.
Because bad things have been avoided.
The next day Ma Guang and his troops returned to travel.
Ma Guang's forces traveled along the border region with Chu's kingdom, Lu's kingdom, Wei's kingdom, Zhao's kingdom and Yan's kingdom.
Their journey took them a week from Ganyu to Chiping, west of Lu, Jibei province, and bordering the Wei kingdom.
Ma Guang's name is now known where - mana, but his face is only known by the people of the martial world who attended the competition in the imperial capital.
Every city lord who met the young man, always greeted him with great respect.
The mercenaries who were hunting Ma Guang, now abandoned the intention to attack him, it was caused due to the rumors that were circulating, that he was able to defeat the Lai royal army of ten thousand people with an army that belonged to him five hundred people and also with only a hundred soldiers.
Ma Guang then traveled to Gaotang city, Pingyuan city, Li city and finally Nanpi city, which is a city adjacent to the Yellow Bamboo sect.
After his troops were in Nanpi city, Ma Guang entrusted Xia Jiao and Yuan Jiali to organize the troops.
The two girls immediately granted Ma Guang's permission.
The young man wanted to pay a visit to his sect that he had been away with for several years.
Ma Guang on horseback, it took him only an hour to arrive at his sect.
Ma Guang immediately continued on his way.
The place that was now the initial destination to visit was the sect's main hall.
Ma Guang had now entered the sect hall, and the disciples guarding went straight to report to the sect patriarchs, grand elders and elders of the judiciary.
After a while, quickly the three supreme leaders in the sect had already arrived and entered the main hall of the sect in which a young man was waiting.
"Guang! Guang! Guang!".
Greet the three supreme leaders in the sect.
"Honor to the Patriarch! Great Elders and also to the elders of the judiciary!". Said Ma Guang while cupping his hands.
"Guang! How are you doing? Are you going to remain a general in the Qi kingdom?". Ask Patriarch.
"If that were the case, when I return to the royal capital, I would resign, because there is still some personal business that I will do". Answer Ma Guang.
The three main leaders of the sect immediately nodded their heads in response to the young man's words.
"What about the circumstances in the sect, does it have any developments?". Ask Ma Guang.
"The development of the sect is very striking, because there are already so many high-level swordsmen. But for the holy warriors themselves have not increased". Patriarch.
"But our strength is now well above any major sect". The words of the Grand elder connected what the patriarch had said.
As they were conversing, the elders as well as the ancestors started to arrive and enter the main hall.
On each of their faces now emblazoned with smiles of happiness because they could meet Ma Guang again.
Ma Guang also smiled happily looking at the faces of the ancestors as well as the elders who were filled with happiness.
"What if we have a party tonight? Do you guys approve?". Patriarch.
The ancestors as well as the elders instantly agreed to it.
Ma Guang who heard that couldn't resist what they had planned.
"Then, I want to give time to the ancestors as well as the elders to question every difficulty faced in cultivating". Ma Guang.
"Guang! We feel very indebted to You, because because of You, our sect has now become a large sect and the strongest sect in the martial world. We hope that You too should enjoy Your youth first, because since you were a teenager, You already have a huge burden of life. So we hope this time, you rest first, because we know what you are doing is very tiring for You". The patriarchal speech followed with a nod of the heads of all those present in the place.
Ma Guang finally accepted what the patriarch suggested.
They eventually disbanded and returned to their respective residences.
As for Ma Guang himself, he headed straight to the residence of elder Duan.
The young man darted using the science of lightening his body into the air and looked like he was flying to head towards the residence of elder Duan.
After arriving in front of elder Duan's residence, the young man was looking at a young man and two girls were training in the courtyard of the residence.
Ma Guang immediately greeted the young man as well as the two girls who were with him.
"Sister Jun! Princess Zhou! Miss Tjia! What about your martial arts?". Ma Guang said with a smile that expanded from his lips.
The three young men immediately stopped their activities and immediately ran towards Ma Guang.
