The Green Bamboo Academy was an academy that was comparatively smaller than the Martial Hall Palace, but it was still the best place one could rest in the Green Bamboo Town. In the academy, green bamboo rustled about in the wind; the silent elegance of the environment gave people a feeling of utmost comfort. The disciples here were also much weaker than the disciples of other towns.

From Luo Yongcheng, Xiang Shaoyun found that the Green Bamboo Academy did not even dare to partic.i.p.ate in the Battle of Towns because their disciples were too weak. Each time they had partic.i.p.ated in the past, they ended up losing all their partic.i.p.ating disciples. Thus, they had eventually stopped joining. As for the reason for them being so weak, it was improper for Xiang Shaoyun to ask too much about it.

Luo Yongcheng brought Xiang Shaoyun to a residence and told someone to prepare some fine liquor and dishes to welcome Xiang Shaoyun.

The two chatted as they drank. Luo Yongcheng was trying to figure out where Xiang Shaoyun came from and his reasoning for wanting to eliminate the Redwolf Bandits.

Xiang Shaoyun only gave some noncommittal replies. As for his reasoning for wanting to eliminate the Redwolf Bandits, he gave an honest reply, ”If I tell you I only accepted the bounty to temper myself, will you believe it?”

”Of course I will. I can't think of any reason otherwise,” Luo Yongcheng said. He sighed and continued, ”How good would it be if the disciples of our academy are half as brave as you. Without risking their lives, how are they supposed to go far in cultivation?”

Xiang Shaoyun only drank silently and did not say anything to that.

Luo Yongcheng raised his head and gazed at Xiang Shaoyun. ”Young brother, you have an impressive combat power. But I don't think your Transformation Realm cultivation is quite sufficient. Yes, you can kill Li Hao the Seven Sabers, but you need to watch out for the bandit leader and the two vice leaders. All three of them are late-stage Transformation Realm experts. This is especially so for the leader. He has a terrifying king weapon with him, which is the reason n.o.body dares to provoke his Redwolf Bandits.”

”King weapon?” Xiang Shaoyun cried out, emotions finally showing on his face.

”That's right. Without the king weapon, our Green Bamboo Academy wouldn't be so afraid of them,” Luo Yongcheng said. He paused slightly before adding, ”It is a very sinister weapon, capable of severing one's soul, and its attacks are extremely tricky to guard against.”

”There is such a weapon?” Xiang Shaoyun was astonished.

He was aware that a weapon capable of harming one's soul was definitely not an ordinary king weapon.

”That's right. In fact, we have reported this to the Cloud Margin City a long time ago. Hopefully, they will send someone over to take the king weapon away from the Redwolf Bandits. Only then will the Green Bamboo Academy stand a chance against the bandits. Otherwise, it will be very hard for us to maintain the peace of the Green Bamboo Town,” Luo Yongcheng said. He emptied a gla.s.s of liquor before continuing, ”I was wondering if you were a disciple of Cloud Margin Pavilion sent here to deal with the Redwolf Bandits, but it seems you have no idea of what's going on here, huh?”

Xiang Shaoyun nodded. ”I really wasn't aware of it all. Thank you for telling me, senior. Otherwise, it will be hard for me to complete the mission.”

”Wait, you're still planning to complete the mission?” Luo Yongcheng was flabbergasted.

He thought that Xiang Shaoyun would change his mind after knowing the truth, but it would seem he was wrong.

”Of course. I have never stopped doing something I have set my mind on,” Xiang Shaoyun said firmly.
