Vol 4 Chapter 9 (2/2)
“Right Official writ!” Snow continued “By binding an official writ, that means you are in control of one of those commandery cities, and are in name one of the officials of the Grand Xia Dynasty However, these official writs are ranked ic treasures, and thus only Zifu Disciples and above can bind them”
“S Mountain has ten of these commanderies within it” Yichuan spoke out as well
“Of the ten commandery cities, one is S Mountain City, where the armies of the Grand Xia Dynasty are stationed! Of the other nine cities, our Five Prefectures of the Ji clan is in control of one, the ‘Thousand Swords City’ of our Central Prefecture” Yichuan explained “The Riverbank clan, Kou clan, and Ironwood clan all have one as well”
“The Blackfire Cult has two coon Mountain has three commandery cities”
“Actually, long ago, the Ji clan, the Riverbank clan, the Kou clan, the Blackfire Cult, and the Ironwood clan all were considered part of the local tribes of S Mountain” Yichuan sighed “Afterwards, when Snowdragon Mountain acquired one of the official writs for one of the cities and got involved in this region, the Ironwood clan, the weakest of the clans, quickly threw theon Mountain However, we other four powers continue to resist”
“We are all officials of the Grand Xia Dynasty, and within our own commandery cities, it is forbidden for Immortal practitioners to battle each other To disobey this rule is to challenge the Grand Xia Dynasty, punishable by death!”
Ning, hearing his father’s explanation, couldn’t help but frown “Father, Mother, based on what you are saying, if I within the commandery cities on pain of death, would it be very hard for one tribe to try and destroy another one?”
“Hard?”
Snow laughed coldly “Easy! For example, Zifu Disciples have a limited lifespan Upon death, the official writ becomes an ownerless object, at which point, the tribe will quickly collapse”
“Also, Zifu Disciples can’t always stay within their co as they come out and are killed, then their official writs can be seized and their tribe will be finished”
“And then of course, there are soe, powerful clans!” Snow said “They will send people over to your commanderyity to assassinate the Zifu Disciples of your clan and take away your official writ What can you do about it?”
Ning was stunned “This…”
“Without any proof, ill you do?” Snow laughed “But of course, thethe laws of the Grand Xia Dynasty is a capital offense They wouldn’t casually do such a thing, and even if they decide to, they would use so to tell you is that there are ht not ht for you In the end, theone’s self!”

“The Marquis of Stillwater controls this vast region, but aside from the armies of the Grand Xia Dynasty stationed here, there is another squad of Ion Guards’ According to legend, only Wanxiang Adepts are allowed to join the Raindragon Guards! By relying on the Raindragon Guards, the Grand Xia Dynasty is able to better control its vast territory Reon Guards cannot be trifled with”

“Ning, given your talent and coe under a , it would be best for you to find a major school or power to take shelter under”

Yichuan and Snow told their sonwould definitely advance onto a far greater stage, and perhaps even becoure in the entire Stillwater Commandery…naturally, they carefully instructed and warned hi which they knew
Only now did Ning truly understand how vast the world was Only now did he know about the Raindragon Guards of the Grand Xia Dynasty, all forreat army controlled by the Marquis of Stillwater Of some of the top tier clans, schools, sects…and of course, many other clans that were powerful in their own localities, that had been able to control official writs for a long period of time Below them, of course, were countless, innumerable minor tribes
“Whew” Ning’s heart was beginning to fill with ardor
“Ji Ning, I will take away the corpse of Serpentwing To outsiders, we shall simply say that I was the one to kill hi If ere to publicize that you were the one who killed him, it will only cause endless difficulties”
“I’ll let Father handle all of these things” Ning said hurriedly “Right, Father, I want to build a residence here at Serpentwing Lake In the future, I will often live here”
“Live here?”
Yichuan and Snow looked around them This area was very peaceful
“Right This is a good place” Yichuan nodded “I will arrange for some people to help you build a residence here Your , come back and visit us often”
“I will I will go back to West Prefecture City in a few days” Ning nodded He was going to take a trip to the Blacktooth Tribe to bring Spring Grass’ younger brother to West Prefecture City This was the pro Grass
“Hurry back” Snow gently stroked her son’s head
“Right” Ning nodded He understood that this trip he had reat worry
