The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 118: Hunting.

After reaching an agreement with the Stone City government, Yang Jian decided to supervise its development secretly and appointed the Jingmi Nobles to cope with the process. The Jingmi Nobles also cooperated with the patriarch and the elders of the White Cloud Sect.

Before exiting the meeting, Yang Jian handed over the entire funds to the Jingmi Nobles to manage. And now Yang Jian was planning to help the cultivators to collect game animals for their food.

There was a group of six Cultivators who were walking out of the city gate with the aim of hunting towards the forest around the Forbidden Forest. Each cultivator who does the hunt is deliberately sent in groups and has a time interval between one group with another group.

"Hey, are you also going hunting?" One of the cultivators stopped Yang Jian's steps that were almost side by side with them. Hearing that Yang Jian stopped, the group was entirely young men with the level of early stage warior cultivator. And they looked slightly younger than Yang Jian.

Looking at Yang Jian who kept silent, the cultivator spoke again, "I see you don't look like a cultivator. Are you really going on a hunt?" Asked the cultivator frowning confusedly. Yang Jian and their group were already on the side of the forest towards the nearby hunting site of the Forbidden Forest. And they were completely unable to sense any movement of qi from within Yang Jian's body.

So they felt Yang Jian wanted to hunt for food, judging by the clothes Yang Jian wore without any fancy impression at all.

"Are only cultivators able to follow this hunt?"

"Ah not like that, it's just that you might have trouble getting hunted animals because in there is not an ordinary game animal but an animal that has evolved into a demon." The young man who looked like the leader of the group explained.

"I don't have a problem."

"What if you join us, even if we're not a strong group but at least you have a cultivator around you." The young man was polite.

"Well, what's wrong with Brother Ling? Are you trying to pull another dog by your side? Or are you trying to be a good-natured hero?"

Suddenly the speech of the young man called Ling was spoken by another young man. Simultaneously another group of hunter cultivators came with the number of five people. Laugh out loud and mock Ling with contempt.

Yang Jian who was originally intending to go alone to hunt started to undo his intentions, obviously if the group of cultivators who had just arrived were stronger than Ling's group. The group had a practice one level above the Ling group, that of an intermediate stage warior cultivator.

"Greetings Brother Lin Fei." The Ling group lowered their heads respectfully to the young man who looked older than Yang Jian, the young man who had previously insulted Ling's group. But the look on Ling's group's face looked bad upon seeing their arrival.

"Yes, Outer Disciples like you should respect me and my colleagues." Lin Fei replied haughtily and was greeted with mocking laughter by her teammates.

Ling's group and Lin Fei's group were disciples of the White Cloud Sect who had both entered the sect at the same time several years ago. However Lin Fei's group managed to escape becoming Inner Disciples of the sect and Ling's group was only able to enter into Outer Disciples.

Inner Disciples are more respected and respected than Outer Pupils. That was why the two groups never got along because of the difference in status and honor within the sect.

"Babysk!"

One light pat landed on Yang Jian's back and it turned out that the culprit was Ling himself, "No need to think about his words, this has already become a daily meal for us."

Ling's words were answered by the nods and light smiles of the other five young cultivators.

"Yes that's right. You mustn't offend Brother Lin Fei either, he has Senior Lin Fan as his backing." Another cultivator.

"Lin Fan?" Yang Jian muttered softly, yet was still able to be heard by the six cultivators. Hearing Yang Jian's mutter, Ling explained a little outline regarding Senior Lin Fan that they were referring to. And from that explanation Yang Jian drew the conclusion if Lin Fan was the same person they had met in the city library some time ago.

"Lin Fei is Senior Lin Fan's father's brother." Close Ling ended his explanation. Yang Jian nodded briefly.

"Do you intend to follow our group?" Ling asked once more, and finally only in reply to Yang Jian's slow deheman. The Ling group was not bad Yang Jian thought.

Entering the forest further and further away, Yang Jian was still calm.The six cultivators walked over and occasionally spoke to Yang Jian but only in the nods and trunks replied by him. But the group did not seem to be offended at all.

"Can you use the science of lightening the body?" Asked Yang Jian. The sixth contact of the cultivaor stopped stepping then looked at Yang Jian. A moment later they both nodded slowly.

Their answers made Yang Jian frown confused, "Then why don't you guys use it?" Asked Yang Jian astonished. If they were able to use the science of lightening the body why did the young cultivator start walking like an ordinary human?

"You won't be able to keep up with our movements."

Ling's reply made Yang Jian gap, not out of offense. Ling's words had absolutely no insulting element in them instead appreciating Yang Jian. Hearing that made Yang Jian slightly feel strange.

"Ehm! No need to think about me. I can balance you guys."

Ling and his comrades looked in disbelief, but after seeing the earnestness in Yang Jian's words made them finally nod and start walking faster. And evidently, Yang Jian followed them. Then the group of cultivators increased their speed to the stage of running. But Yang Jian was apparently able to follow them.

The group continued to run quickly into the forest for approximately half an hour, yet Yang Jian still seemed to follow them calmly without any sense of fatigue. The group began to feel that Yang Jian was secretly studying the science of lightening the body. Because if Yang Jian was an ordinary human, he would have been out of breath due to exhaustion.

Now Ling increasingly increased his running speed until it looked like he was floating in the air and followed by the five other cultivators.but unfortunately Yang Jian did not want to lose, he said, he also increased his running speed without being distracted at all. If just running like this was no big deal to Yang Jian. Even with his abilities now he was even able to fly through the air at high speed.
