At the dock.

“Young Master. we bid you farewell!” Uncle Ma said as he clasped his fists.

“Young Master, we bid you farewell…”

For a moment, farewell greetings filled the air.

Jiang Yuan also clasped his fists and said, “Uncle Ma, take care of yourself, I’ll be back!”

Then, he turned to the others and said, “Brothers, take care on the road and remember to look after Uncle Ma!”

The young convoy guards chuckled, saying, “Young Master, you can set off on your journey without worries! We’ll take care of Uncle Ma!” Thump!

The man was suddenly hit on the back of his head by Uncle Ma.

“What kind of a farewell is that? Talking about ‘setting off’!”

At Uncle Ma’s words, everyone burst into laughter.

Jiang Yuan looked at the jubilant crowd in front of him and also gave a gentle smile.

In his heart, he silently vowed to return.

At this time, Gu MO also said, “Uncle Ma, take care!”

Then he bowed to the others and said, “Brothers, take care!”

As his words ended, the light boat under Jiang Yuan’s feet suddenly shot off with great speed, disappearing into the hazy mist.

Only then did Uncle Ma rub his eyes and say, “Let’s go! Time to head home!”

“Let’s go! Time to head home…” The young convoy guards chanted in unison. At this moment, they were excited and eager to return to Lin’an County.

They were eager to know how the people of Lin’an County would react when they heard about the Young Master’s battle at Smoke Ripple Lake.

Thinking about this, their hearts filled with pride. As participants in this event, they felt honored.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

On the light boat.

Jiang Yuan held a jade token inscribed with the word “Tantai”, and then spurred his qi and blood to infuse it.

The token in his hand instantly began to guide him in a certain direction.

After confirming the direction, the light boat beneath his feet immediately shot off with great speed.

Several days later.

Lin’an County.

Li Hong was lying in the back garden, flipping through the yellowed ancient book in his hand, enjoying a leisurely afternoon.

Just then.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and he looked up.

He then asked casually, “Fifth, why are you in such a hurry, what happened?”

The man in black came up to Li Hong and saluted, “Old Master, we’ve got some big news.”

“What big news?”

“All of Mang Mountain’s Thirteen Major Thieves were beheaded!”

“All the Thirteen Major Thieves were beheaded? Indeed, that is big news! But what does it have to do with me? It can’t be that they were killed by someone from our Lin’an County, right?”

Li Hong laughed, picked up his tea cup, and took a sip.

“Indeed, they were killed by someone from our Lin’an County!”

Clatter!

The tea table shook.

Li Hong immediately stood up and sat straight, his face shocked.

“Say that again?”

“The Thirteen Major Thieves of Mang Mountain were killed by Jiang Yuan from our Lin’an County!”

Li Hong’s face showed confusion: “This is impossible! Who in Lin’an County could kill the Thirteen Major Thieves of Mang Mountain?”

The man in black slowly said, “Jiang Yuan!”

‘who?”

“Jiang Yuan!”

“This… This is impossible!! How could he possibly kill those thirteen thieves, who are at the limit of mortality, from Mang Mountain!” Li Hong’s face was full of disbelief.

The man in black slowly nodded and said, “Indeed, he killed all the thirteen people of Mang Mountain at Smoke Ripple Lake, and also Ning Buqi, the Master of the Black Wind Tribe.

Saying that, he took out the newly obtained information and handed it over to Li Hong.

Li Hong quickly took it, and began to slowly read through it, word by word.

After a while, he took a deep breath.

Then he slowly exhaled, muttering to himself, “I was wrong! I was completely wrong! Jiang Yuan’s combat power is so extraordinary, he is one against fourteen mortals at their peak, and he was able to kill each one! How deep is his foundation and accumulation!”

After saying that, he ordered, “Fifth, quickly prepare the brush and paper for me, I need to send a letter to the Sect!”

“Yes, Old Master!” the man in black respectfully replied.

He then hurried off.

A moment later.

Li Hong’s writing brush slowly came to a stop, and he blew on the paper on the table, allowing the ink to be thoroughly dried by the wind.

As he carefully folded the paper, he whispered, “I hope it’s not too late. It would be a huge loss for our Sect if such a heaven’s genius was recruited by another one. Hopefully, my letter will be taken seriously by the sect!”

Having said that, he handed the sealed envelope to the man in black.

“Fifth, send this letter by hawk.”

“Yes!” The man in black complied, and then hurried away.

Several days later.

Sunset Sect.

Gongsun Zhi received the letter.

It read, “Heaven’s Genius Recommendation, personally opened by the Elder of the Sect, respectfully submitted by Li Hong.”

“Li Hong, him again? Has there been another heaven’s genius in Lin’an County?” Gongsun Zhi asked curiously.

She slowly opened the envelope and started to read the letter. The more she read, the more her brow furrowed.

After a long time.

Gongsun Zhi sneered, “What a bunch of nonsense. How could he believe such hearsay that he could defeat fourteen people in the same realm by himself.

Only an ignorant outer sect disciple like him would believe such a thing.”

She then flicked her palm and the letter in her hand instantly turned to ashes.

She quickly forgot about the matter.

She wouldn’t believe such an accomplishment, and neither would anyone else in the Sunset Sect.

At the Body Forging Realm, the foundational level, the gap between cultivators is the smallest.

Even the disciples trained by the sect, despite their extraordinary martial arts secrets being more profound and having stronger spirit, qi, and blood,

They are not significantly ahead of ordinary warriors. Being able to fight several on their own is already quite good.

To fight against more than a dozen, all of whom are famous ordinary warriors, it’s almost like a fairy tale.

Only those of the Demon Tribe could do that.

The advantage of the human race lies in their divine soul, in their control of spiritual energy, and in their understanding of heaven and earth. It is only after transcending the mortal realm that their superiority is demonstrated.

As for the strength of the physical body, not many people pay attention to it.

After all, according to the rumored path to immortality, one must abandon the physical body and condense an immortal body.

No matter how much the physical body is tempered, it will eventually come to nothing.

Two months later.

Since entering the primeval forest, they had to rely on their legs to travel.

They were on an unnamed mountaintop.

It was noon at the time, and Shu Xiaoxiao was panting, with sweat all over her forehead.

Although she didn’t say anything, Jiang Yuan could tell that she had reached her limit.

After a while, Jiang Yuan said, “Gu MO, let’s rest here.”

“Yes, Young Master!” Gu MO responded.

Shu Xiaoxiao, seeing this, sighed with relief.

She quickly took out a water bottle from her body, “Young Master, drink some water!”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “You drink it!”

Seeing this, Shu Xiaoxiao hung the water bottle back on her waist, took out another one, and poured it down her throat.

Only after she gently burped, did her face relax a lot.

“I don’t know how much longer we have to walk to reach the Supreme Mystery Sect.” Gu MO glanced at the mountains ahead and said.

Jiang Yuan held the token in his hand, its qi and blood emanated a guiding force towards the north.

“It should be soon! We have been walking for more than two months!” Suddenly, a long eagle’s cry came from above their heads.

“Why is there an eagle here?” Shu Xiaoxiao curiously looked up at the sky.

Jiang Yuan and Gu MO followed suit.
