Chapter 206 – Martial Street Matches

(Mustang: Newbie mistake, I was reading the raws from a different source than the original one, and made a mistake. The name of the region here is Tong City’s region, like the Jiu Yu City’s region in the previous arc……)

More and more strong youngsters continued to pack inside the Ying Song hotel, all travelling to the Tong City’s region in search of the Tong Tian Sect’s secret storehouse.

This storehouse was also rumored to be the secret library of the Sect, but had a limitation that any newly entering member must be below the age of fifty.

The age of fifty wasn’t considered to be very high for a practitioner; in fact most talented martial artists under the age of fifty were able to enter into the ‘Emerging from the womb’ layer by then.

Of course, the likes of Xuan Yuan Po Jun and Yan Yu Si were considered peerless geniuses, but treasures such as the Tong Tian Sect’s library weren’t enough to entice their attention, and hence they were unlikely to compete for it.

The Tong Tian Sect’s library wasn’t a very big thing in its own, but it was the lure of its inheritance that had made it so popular.

Inheritance is only a mere illusion, and no one is ever truly guaranteed to inherit anything.

In contrast to this, the secret library inside the Tian Yuan ring was far more important, and was far better than the Tong Tian secret library.

However, Bi Fan hadn’t been able to use the Tian Yuan Ring, the Gourd, or the sword ‘Bloodshed’ properly, which is why he wasn’t considering them to be worth much at the moment.

No one bothered Bi Fan and his friends in the hotel, and hence they were able to set out early in the morning without any delays.

However, because they were afraid that the Wu Ji Sect disciples might try to cause mischief on the road ahead, they decided to tread very carefully.

They finally managed to reach the Tong City after a hectic and tiring journey.

They saw several powerful youngsters on the way, all of them seemingly travelling to the same destination, and with the same goal.

However, since Bi Fan, Mo Nan, Jing Feng, Blue Dragon, Ji Ying Lan, and Wang Zhong were all quite strong in their own merit, and moreover were walking together, no one dared to bother them.

At the end of it all, the road to the Tong City turned out to be less troublesome than they were expecting it to be.

The Tong City was quite spectacular, and was spread over a larger area than the Jiu Yu City.

The Tong City’s territory had two major factions inside it, the Hong Sect and the Bai Sheng palace.

The Hong Sect and the Bai Sheng palace were both considered to be far more powerful than any of the top five sects of the Jiu Yu City.

There were several other Sects in the region, and quite a few of them were comparable to the top Five sects from the Jiu Yu City.

It could be said that the Tong City was more powerful than the Jiu Yu City in general.

Since Bi Fan and his friends had agreed upon keeping a low profile in the city, they decided to seek refuge in small and isolated hotel.

“Many strong youngsters from several different Sects have already arrived in the Ting City already, but it seems that they haven’t yet opened the Tong Tian secret Library yet. We’ll all take turns in making enquiring separately, and then we’ll decide on a plan of action.” Wang Zhong suggested.

“Walking around separately won’t be an issue?” Bi Fan asked.

“Don’t worry, the Hong Sect watches over the Tong City, and they forbid all personal clashes in the city. So unless you’re trying to be an outlaw, you’ll be fine.” Wang Zhong smiled.

“Oh that’s good!” Jing Feng eased up a bit.

Most cities didn’t allow personal clashes within the scope of the city, but most cities had exceptions to their rules. Fortunately, the Tong City had none.

Since they were staying in a small and isolated hotel, it was hard for them to make their enquiries, and therefore, the six of them took turns touring the city, and made their enquiries simultaneously.

After a few days, they had managed to gather enough information to figure out the overall situation.

The Tong Tian Sect’s secret storehouse hadn’t been opened yet; moreover, no knew one when it would be opened. In fact, no one even knew its location.

Since several strong youngsters had gathered from all over the world, Bi Fan and his friends could obviously feel the pressure mounting on their shoulders. It was evident that the treasures in this storehouse would be very limited, and only one person would be allowed to inherit it, therefore it was awfully hard for any person to be successful in this venture.

However, since Bi Fan and his friends had no intention of returning without giving things a try, they decided to use this time to learn more about it, and sharpen their skills until it was time to move into action.

This was obviously a rare opportunity since they were all under the age of fifty, and might actually be capable of competing for the treasures.

However, it was also a very dangerous task; no adventure can ever be undertaken without undertaking its risks.

Moreover, an opportunity to cross swords with people from different corners of the world was an even rarer opportunity, and wasn’t one that Bi Fan would want to miss on.
