Chapter 306 - Situation in the World (1/2)

Zhou Xuanji brought the children back into the village.

Among those children, two of them came from this village, and their parents burst out in joyful tears when they saw them.

Zhou Xuanji gathered the rest of the villagers together and told them about his arrangement.

Initially, when they heard that Zhou Xuanji was going to protect them, they were agitated, hoping that Zhou Xuanji could kill Zhuang Huisheng.

However, when they heard about Tiger Monarch Fudi, they fell into silence.

“We will listen to Immortal Sword Emperor’s arrangement. Even if that demon is dead, there would be other demons. It’s better for them to protect us. Moreover, he’s not the one who ate our children. Tiger Monarch Fudi is the one who deserved to die,” the old village chief stood with his walking stick and said with a trembling voice.

Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “I’m going to teach you a sword technique, try to learn as much as you can. After that, it will depend on yourselves. If in the future you can fend for yourselves and you want to learn the sword, you can come to Skyfall. Remember, you must at least reach Astral Infant to come to Skyfall, else you will die on the way.”

The villagers heard him and were exhilarated.

The blacksmiths forged many iron swords. Although they were ordinary weapons, they were sufficient for them to train the sword.

In the next five days, Zhou Xuanji taught Vibrant Raindrops Sword to the villagers as he healed himself.

The White Crane Sword Technique was too low-leveled. It was hardly effective in this area.

He only needed one person to be able to learn it.

The children who he saved continued to stay in the village because they did not have the energy to find their ways home.

He was getting ready to leave today.

But he was stopped by a tanned teenager.

The teenager knelt before him again and said with gritted teeth, “I want to cultivate. Senior immortal, please take me as your disciple. If not, please take me as your slave, as long as you will bring me along.”

Zhou Xuanji glanced at him. He had an impression of the teenager.

This brat was the most hardworking villager in practicing the sword. However, it was a pity that his talent in the Sword’s Way could not make it.

He smiled and threw out a book in a blue cover.

“Brat, do you know my standard for taking in people?”

He said with a smile, “Tens of thousands of people failed to meet the requirements. I see your determination in cultivation. I give you this technique for internalizing Qi. Hopefully, we are fated to meet again.”

After that, he transformed into a stream of sword light, flying toward the horizon.

The tanned teenager picked up the energy technique. His eyes were filled with determination.

“Immortal Sword Emperor, I, Su Han, will stand before you one day so that you will acknowledge me! I will become a sword cultivator as powerful as you!”

…

Skyfall was in the south of the Northern Wilderness Region. Zhou Xuanji took about half a month to return to Skyfall.

He activated the Qi Obscuring Incantation and transformed into a silver sword, hiding his body as he shuttled through the forest.

The second-generation disciples were training hard on the mountain shoulder. This pleased him.

The Four Mountain-Guarding Kings were napping as usual.

Coming to the peak, Daoya Old Man was teaching Jiang Xue the way of divination, but the girl could not pay attention to him.

“Sigh. You can’t go on like this. You need to concentrate,” Daoya Old Man sighed helplessly.

He wanted to reprimand her, but he could not do so.

She did not do it without reason after all.

Jiang Xue frowned but remained silent.

“Our master is back!”

Zhou Xiaoqi cried out excitedly out of a sudden, which gathered everyone.

Zhou Xuanji was shocked in his heart. How did this guy know he was here.

Zhaocong Sword appeared before Zhou Xiaoqi out of nowhere and asked with a deep voice, “Where is our master?”

Jiang Xue scanned her surroundings, pleasantly surprised. However, she found no traces of him.

At this moment, he was hiding behind the rocks and did not jump out straight away.

“Where?”

Meng Tianlang opened his eyes wide and scanned around with his mind, but he still could not sense Zhou Xuanji’s presence.

“I really sensed it,” Zhou Xiaoqi said.
