Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 55 Entering Xuanxiao

"Senior Sister Zhou."

"Where are Elder Zheng and the others?"

Qin Jiu approached Zhou Yingxue and bowed.

The latter shook his head and said, "They have their own things to do."

"Tonight, Junior Brother Qi and I will lead a group to escort them."

Qin Jiu frowned, considering his words carefully, "We're leaving in a hurry tonight, and I'm afraid the journey won't be peaceful. Should we send someone to scout ahead? I have a feeling..."

"Elder Zheng and the others swept away those things."

"..."

Another hour passed.

The newly initiated disciples, along with their families, all gathered together. After Qi Yuan verified their identities one by one, they slowly left the city gate.

Meanwhile, a large number of people had gathered inside the city.

Qin Jingzheng and his group also arrived.

They were talking to Qin Jingchuan, sometimes pointing in the direction of the Qin family members, and sometimes pointing to four other young figures and saying something.

Some came to see them off, some simply to watch, and others wanted to take advantage of the chaos and leave Songshan County with the group. However, the latter were caught by the Divine Guard Army and slunk back to the city.

in the night.

Qin Jiu sat in the carriage and looked back at the county town.

A golden light, invisible to ordinary people, was reflected in his pupils.

"In less than a year."

"Then I will come back again..."

......

Time flies.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

The fine snow that had accumulated on the official road gradually melted away, but the road also began to become rugged, which made the already slow-moving caravan even slower.

Two hours passed.

They had only traveled thirty or forty miles.

"Keep going at this pace."

"I'm afraid it will take another half a month to reach Ning'an Prefecture."

During a rest period.

Qi Yuan arrived at the area where the Qin family was located and sighed softly, "Junior brother, do you know what's the most torturous part of escorting someone?"

"The most tormenting people are not mountain bandits or horse bandits."

"Or perhaps some kind of demon."

"It's about taking care of ordinary people."

Only two days have passed.

Qi Yuan's patience had completely vanished.

At this moment, I couldn't help but grumble.

Qin Jiu sat cross-legged on the spot with his eyes slightly closed, urging Zhaoyou and Qiuji to investigate the situation ahead.

He's been like this for the past two days.

After all, when it comes to safety, you need to confirm it yourself to feel at ease.

"Junior Brother Qin, we've only just left Songshan territory, and you're already..."

"Elder Zheng and the others have arrived."

suddenly.

Qin Jiu spoke up.

Qi Yuan was taken aback. Just as he was about to say, "Don't joke around," he saw Zhou Yingxue, who was at the front of the group, step out of the carriage.

Almost simultaneously.

Three figures emerged from the woods beside the road.

However, the group was in a rather disheveled state.

"Your perception..."

Qi Yuan was extremely surprised.

Qin Jiu smiled.

Then attention turned to Zheng Dahai and his group.

"Senior Uncle, what's going on here?"

"Damn, I've run into a ghost."

Zheng Dahai said with a gloomy expression, "I don't know why, but Ye Wunian actually got together with Wei Jun. I almost fell for his trick. Yingxue, when you go back, remember to tell the sect leader that this guy is, after all, a disciple of that important figure. Don't let my Xuanxiao Sect end up taking the blame for him."

"Fortunately, it was a waste of some energy."

"Clear away all the snakes, insects, and rodents along this road; now it's up to you."

......

"The county magistrate?"

"He joined the Wei army?"

Beside the carriage.

Qin Jiu was immediately taken aback when he heard the name Ye Wunian, because that was the name of the magistrate of Songshan County.

Unexpectedly, the demon-slaying attempt failed that day.

They actually became Wei's lackeys.

"What about Tang Yu, Ji Changqing, and the others..."

His brows furrowed slightly.

I felt in my heart that those people were probably still alive.

At first, the county magistrate may have genuinely intended to eliminate the demon, but after being ambushed and then joining the Wei army, Tang Yu, Jiang Lin, Ji Changqing, and the others should be safe.

"Alright."

"I'll take care of them myself when I have some free time."

Qin Jiu thought to herself.

A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

......

Day and night alternate.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Jiu finally arrived at Ning'an Prefecture.

From the outside, this place looks more like a large city, with its towering, thick, and mottled walls covered with marks from swords, axes, and arrows, stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Xiao Jiu, your father used to travel frequently to Ning'an Prefecture, and he has a sworn brother here."

"Would you like to go visit your mother later?"

"Entering the sect is of utmost importance."

While pondering.

A sound came from inside the carriage.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu shook his head and said, "I still need to go to the Xuanxiao Sect to register my name."

"The Qin family also needs to find a place to settle down."

"I don't have the time right now."

"Let's talk about that later."

Li's voice carried an undisguised weariness.

After saying that...

He then remained silent.

Many people around them wept with joy. Most of them were family members of disciples who had joined the Xuanxiao Sect. They were just ordinary people. Even though they were escorted by the Divine Guard Army and did not encounter any danger, such a high-intensity journey over several days was enough to be considered torture.

Along the way, even the Qin family's servants died suddenly from exhaustion, with two of them dying in succession.

Not to mention others.

How could I not be happy at this moment?

"Junior Brother Qin, let's go back to the sect."

Qi Yuan's previous impatience vanished completely, and now he wore a bright smile. He pointed his whip at the city gate and said, "This place is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanxiao Sect. You could say that entering the city gate is the same as returning to the sect."

"After you register."

"Senior Brother Qi will find time to host a banquet to celebrate for you."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Qin Jiu cupped his hands in greeting, not refusing the other party's kindness, and then followed the soldier into the city gate.

The size of this city.

It's probably much larger than Songshan County.

He sat in the carriage, activated his Illumination Technique, and then pushed his mental energy to its limit, but he still couldn't see where the end of the city was. All he could hear was a cacophony of noise buzzing in his ears.

It completely lacked the lifeless, despairing atmosphere of Songshan County.

At this moment, on both sides of the line.

It was packed with onlookers.

......

Around noon.

The group entered the city not long ago.

After settling the families in temporarily, Zhou Yingxue led the disciples who had joined the sect to the inner city, saying as they walked, "My Xuanxiao Sect occupies half of Ning'an City and has countless resources within the sect. You and your relatives are welcome to enjoy them."

"But there's one exception."

"We must fight for it with our own fists."

"Our sect has many rules and regulations, but in essence, they all boil down to one word: 'competition.' And from the moment you all stepped into Ning'an, the competition began. Of course, you have also chosen not to compete."

"After all, my sect offered conditions to recruit you."

"However, that's just the basics."

"..."

Zhou Yingxue's statement.

It took about half an hour.

She paused slightly before reaching a magnificent plaza that resembled a piece of white jade, and then slowly uttered her last words.

"Above the White Jade Plaza lies the Xuanxiao Sect."

"But not everyone can get in."

"You must rely on your own strength to get ahead."
