Chapter 24: An arrival in the big border city! (1)
The journey should proceed smoothly, after the destruction of the Devil army should not have any other force for a new attack, also the reinforcement of the warrior elites of the Celestial Sword sect should have arrived to reinforce the guard of the new disciples. However, two days later there were several attacks by small elite winged Devil army brigades, besieging air transport.
During that time it was not long before Elder Han realized that the sect's elites would probably never come to rescue, things had escalated unexpectedly. Finally on the third day of the attack, the aircraft suffers some critical damage, regardless of whether Zhong Liang and the other elite disciples are facing these devils squads, unfortunately, these squads are much smarter and much bolder than the other devils, so they just harass the aircraft and at battle time they escape with crazy speed.
Thus Elder Han, who was the highest authority of the Celestial Sword Sect present on the aircraft, decided that they would stop at Nim Yang City, which was a military city on the frontier of the Qin Empire, they would go there for some time to communicate properly. with the sect to find out about the Magoru Empire.
It should be remembered that the Celestial Sword Sect is in the Zhou Empire, near the imperial capital, which would still take at least 3 more days of travel on a beastly aircraft to reach the destination, if the trip was by land would take 30 days, taking in It counts how many new disciples are like burdens to veteran cultivators of the sect.
In short the sect had no choice but to land in this border wait for the Cruel Blue beast to be dealt with or get another aircraft, well that wasn't the most important since there would probably be other Magoru Empire traps in the way so it was It is practically an obligation to stop in this border town and wait for reinforcements from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Probably the reinforcement may be facing some trap of the Magoru Empire, otherwise they would have already arrived here," said Master Han stroking his beard. What he said only further cemented the discomfort everyone was feeling now.
This was not the first time the sect had faced the Devils or their authority was questioned, but this was the first time all of this was being done to capture a single disciple from the sect's core. It was not unheard of for various forces to come together to kill the geniuses of the sects, but it was strange for a devil's empire to try so hard to kidnap and not kill one of those geniuses.
Even though Zhong Liang was the target of the attacks, he was very calm, while everyone argued worried about the backward reinforcements and the boldness of the Magoru Empire, even considering ordering them to investigate the Qin Empire as accomplices of the devils. Meanwhile, Zhong Liang sips tea quietly looking out the room window, they are on the third floor.
He was wondering what to bring to Zemin Yan, he wanted to bring something to nourish the young man's body, but it also had to be delicious, because last time he carried a legendary fruit of chaos that could increase his body's resistance against attack. elemental and could aid in the affinity of the elements, this would be critical when it came to the realm of the foundation to choose an affinity element.
Of course, Zemin Yan didn't need this to aid his elemental affinity, as he had the Holy energy that replaces the need for a specific element, but it was good for strengthening his body and even helping to undo the seal in his lineage. , so he found it hard to refuse Zhong Liang's kindness.

However, it was hard to hide his face suffering from the bitterness of the fruit, he did not know he hated bitter things like that, but he felt like spitting this fruit, but this legendary fruit disappeared into it's good, just leaving the bitter taste. ! Zemin Yan still had to force a smile to thank Zhong Liang, but the smile came out odd because his lips were bitter and a little tight.
Zhong Liang after many years without smiling, he had to control himself not to laugh at the 10-year-old who had a bitter and pouting look, but his dark eyes showed his joy, which made Zemin Yan embarrassed and angry, he puffed out his cheeks, grabbing little Sying, and ran to the bathroom.
So Zhong Liang wanted to bear another fruit but sweet, but he also had to look for a fruit that would help the child's physique to become stronger and healthier, as well as a gift that Zemin Yan could not refuse to receive. He, after visiting Zemin Yan that night, for the past three days he furtively, ignoring Elder Han who was keeping an eye on the 10-year-old child, the elite youth came to visit and brought gifts for the child.
Except that Zemin Yan was stubborn and did not accept the gifts until this legendary fruit appeared, the child reluctantly accepted the gift, this legendary fruit was not much for Zhong Liang, who had a tree of various fruits that were considered legendary to many. person, who was cultivated beside his sleeping holy beast, being fed by the pure energy of this holy beast.
This child knew about the fruit and had this fruit in his space ring, but it was blocked with some mysterious power and he could not access it, so when Zhong Liang brought this fruit, there was no way he could deny this gift, as it was to diminish the sealing power in your lineage and that meant becoming stronger!
So while Elder Han and Zhong Liang's fellow disciples were worried about his safety, he was wondering which legendary fruit he would give to Zemin Yan, this fruit had to be sweet, he already wondered how the child's face would be pleasantly surprised, Feeling a warmth in your heart. This child was quite cute when he was serious about that childish face, Zhong Liang had this sweet child as a little brother, almost like a blood relative.
Master Han Ye together with the imperial envoy arranged a place for everyone to rest for three days, they had rented a large mansion that had many courtyards within their property. With a total of ten courtyards and a large central mansion, the novice disciples were allocated groups of six to each courtyard and a veteran disciple would take care of this small group.
It would be the work of the inner disciples who were at the height of the Qi Refinement to take care of the logistics and distribution of food, the disciples in the Foundation realm would be responsible for taking care of each group of novices and the Aurore Core disciples would be responsible for overseeing the perimeter. the courtyards to protect the new disciples.
Zemin Yan and his friends were allocated to a courtyard far from the mansion, this was provided by Elder Han, as he feared that Zhong Liang would be too bold and appear in public with this young disciple, this would only be harmful to Zemin Yan, at least with at a great distance and in a more secluded courtyard few people could see this war god acting pathetically near the 10-year-old.
Of course, this generated a lot of gossip from the new disciples and even the inner disciples, some of them looked with pity on Zemin Yan and his group, others were enjoying their misery, in the view of these young disciples Master Han Yie was excluded them by Zhong Liang's unfavorable attitude, which could mean tough days for this group.
Strangely responsible for Zemin Yan's group is Yun San who is one of the Aurore Core disciples who helped in the selection of the new disciples, he was one of the few who could match the kindly Hong Yu. He was also known to have a great dislike for Hong Yu, no one knew the cause of this enmity, but constantly the two argued or went to the sect's dueling yard for a "pointer exchange", they always ended in ties.
Yun San was a 20-year-old who had a brave look and a fierce look, he had a kind of wild beauty and rare yellow eyes that looked quite animalistic and fascinating. He was six feet tall with broad shoulders and strong arms, his hands were large, and on his broad back, he carried a heavy, broad sword. His long hair was tied with a kind of rope that was full of runes, but the messy bangs fell over a part of his face, near his left eye he had a small scar that seemed to throb in scarlet red.
By the way, Yun San didn't want to be around Zemin Yan's group because of his rivalry with Hong Yu, but Elder Han gave him no choice but simply ordered him to that group. This generated even more negativity towards these young people, but he just had a surly look and didn't try to make things difficult for the group.
"Hey, Sying, do you owe something to big brother Yun San?" Asked Zemin Yan in a high, innocent tone to the little white dog. Of course, Yun San could hear the conversation, as he was sitting on a rock in the inner courtyard near an artificial lake.
The little dog barked and looked all innocent at Zemin Yan, making a typically silly, fluffy puppy face. Wen Jie coughed to cover his laughter and Chu Yue covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.
"Brother Wen, are you alright? It's coughing so hard, "Shou Zuo said in a falsely worried tone as he patted Wen Jie's back, which was taller than he was, after all, Wen Jie was almost six feet tall. Shou Zuo with his slender body and a feminine face looked even smaller near Wen Jie.
"So big and still doing this kind of scene?" Said Yi Yuga said criticizing Wen Jie, he always wanted to argue with this tall 16-year-old, maybe because of Zemin Yan's friendship with Wen Jie. He felt a kind of bitter in his heart, typical childish jealousy, but it was very annoying to see these two interacting. Sure, he had that bitter taste about Chu Yue too, but since she was a girl ... Well, he was afraid to make her cry if he was too aggressive or even raised his voice.
What big thing has to do with coughing or laughing? Wen Jie thought to feel wronged, but shut up he wasn't going to argue with an 11-year-old boy.
"Hey, Big Brother Yun, you're very strong, right?" Asked Quian Dalai ignoring the tense atmosphere between the group and this older brother, his eyes shone like stars as he looked at this strong core disciple. As a battle maniac, he didn't care much about these things of social tension, he only cared about strong people and fighting.
Yes, this was a cute fool whose everyone looked as if he were crazy.
Yun San took a deep breath, trying not to smile because Quian Dalai was the kind of kid he liked who was silly, cute and honest, only caring about training and getting stronger. However he could not show favoritism, he struggled to continue his ill will towards the group, but this strange group was very cute and funny, so a small white dog came to him and gave him a pitiful look, as if guilty. because he has that grouchy look.
"Come on! Human, appreciate this little king who is calling you to pet him! Come and submit! "Thought Sying, wagging his tail and turning his belly up with a look of anticipation.
"You forgot you're a wolf!" Zemin Yan mentally scolded Sying, who just ignored his young master.
"You don't see I'm sacrificing myself for the group!" Complained Sying, while Yun San gave in and petted the fluffy furry dog.
"Good job!" answered Zemin Yan with eyes twinkling, after all, it would be unpleasant to have a guardian who was unwilling to his group. It was the first time he and his group had been in such a large and lively city, they wanted to go out and explore, but they needed Yun San to be able to go out and explore.
