6: Chapter 6: Ba Tian Sect, I’m here!

Having made a decision, Jiang Xuan turned his gaze to Qian Li, "City Lord Qian, you aren't someone who acts without benefit, are you? What is your purpose in doing this?"

Qian Li did not answer immediately. He turned and waved to the guards behind him, "You all may leave."

"Yes!"

Only after everyone had left did Qian Li speak, "Young Master Jiang, although I, Qian, am just the City Lord of this small city, my ability to judge people has always been accurate."

"Young Master Jiang possesses a heaven-defying talent. Without any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely leave the Great Li Dynasty in the future. I, Qian, am willing to bet on a future. From now on, I will follow Young Master Jiang's lead. After Young Master Jiang leaves Qinglin City, the City Lord's Mansion will protect the Jiang Family with its life."

Qian Li was not making an empty promise. A Qi Sea Perfection at sixteen was too terrifying. He had Cultivated for decades to reach this Realm, and Jiang Xuan's combat power was frighteningly strong.

Furthermore, from Jiang Xuan's actions these past few days, his character was decisive and ruthless, never soft-hearted.

He was gentle and reasonable with friends and Family, but like a Shura, fierce and merciless towards enemies. Such a person was definitely worth investing in.

Jiang Xuan was truly surprised this time. A dignified City Lord actually chose to submit to a young boy. This courage was indeed extraordinary.

He looked at Qian Li again, "Wouldn't doing this be betraying the Dynasty? If you can betray the Dynasty now, what about the future?"

Qian Li quickly explained, "Young Master Jiang, you don't know. Our Great Li Dynasty is quite open-minded towards Cultivators. Officials can simultaneously invest in a certain Genius."

"After all, no matter how much of a Genius they are, they are still people of the Great Li Dynasty. If they become famous throughout the continent in the future, the Great Li Dynasty will also benefit, won't it?"

"As for replacing the Great Li Dynasty, hehe, true Geniuses wouldn't care about such things. They are all devoted to Cultivation. Even if there were such people, they would be trash. What does the Great Li Dynasty have to fear?"

After listening to Qian Li's words, Jiang Xuan felt somewhat surprised. It seemed that the Old Ancestor of the Great Li Dynasty was also a remarkable individual. Such broad-mindedness was truly not simple.

"Do you have any other news?" Jiang Xuan asked indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Qian Li was overjoyed. Although Jiang Xuan hadn't explicitly agreed, his meaning was already very clear. "Yes, it's about Cheng Yuan of the Cheng Family and Lu Ziming, the Young Lord of the Hegemon Sect."

"Oh? Tell me." Hearing these two names, a persistent obsession welled up in Jiang Xuan's heart, making him uncomfortable.

"That Lu Ziming, because he simultaneously possesses a Spiritual Bone... and a Spiritual Body, won first place in the Donglin Prefecture Martial Arts Academy's freshman competition and was accepted as a Personal Disciple by an Inner Courtyard teacher."

"He instantly became a prominent figure, and Cheng Yuan also received considerable attention due to Lu Ziming's connection."

When speaking of the Spiritual Bone, Qian Li paused slightly. Strictly speaking, this Spiritual Bone still belonged to the person before him.

"Heh, those two are certainly living comfortably." Jiang Xuan forcefully suppressed the increasingly strong obsession in his heart, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.

"Inner Courtyard teachers of the academy are generally at the Early Stage of the God Transformation Realm. Young Lord should prepare early. Once Cheng Yuan learns about the current situation in Qinglin City, it might be very dangerous."

After deciding to pledge allegiance to Jiang Xuan, Qian Li's form of address towards him also changed.

"However, Young Lord need not worry too much. Before this, your subordinate has secretly informed the academy of your situation. I believe that teachers will definitely come to take you as a Disciple.

With Young Lord's talent, at least an Inner Courtyard teacher will come. By then, there will be no need to worry about Lu Ziming's retaliation."

As Disciples of Inner Courtyard teachers, disputes between Disciples are often resolved by themselves. If everyone used their higher Rank to bully those below them, then there would be no point in playing.

Jiang Xuan nodded thoughtfully. He wasn't worried. With the System, what was he afraid of? After destroying the Hegemon Sect, he estimated he could Breakthrough to the Spirit Infant Realm.

By then, relying on his Progenitor Dragon Bloodline, those in the Divine Ability Realm wouldn't even be able to harm a single hair on him.

What he worried about was the other party becoming desperate and attacking his Family. After all, while those in the Divine Ability Realm couldn't harm him, he couldn't kill them either.

"Sigh, still too poor," Jiang Xuan complained inwardly.

It was already noon when he left the City Lord's Mansion. The streets were bustling with people, and the sounds of hawkers calling out rose and fell. Jiang Xuan walked alone through the crowd.

From Qian Li's words, he also generally understood the situation of the Great Li Dynasty. The Great Li Dynasty had a history of a thousand years and was divided into thirty-two Prefectures.

Each Prefecture governed hundreds of cities, with one Prefecture being as large as a province in his previous life.

The place where Jiang Xuan was located was Donglin Prefecture, and the Donglin Prefecture Martial Arts Academy was the highest-ranking academy in the entire Donglin Prefecture, founded by the royal Family. It gathered the Geniuses of the entire Donglin Prefecture.

"Hoo." He exhaled lightly. He had stayed in Qinglin City long enough. He couldn't wait to see this wonderful world.

His heart craved battle, he yearned for that feeling of hot-bloodedness. He wanted to experience the Geniuses of this world.

In summary, he wanted to go out and show off... "Since that's the case, Hegemon Sect, let's start with you!"

【Ding, detected the host's strong desire for battle. The following missions are now issued.】

【Mission One: Annihilate the Hegemon Sect. Reward: Six thousand limit points.】

【Mission Two: The original owner's final obsession, kill Cheng Yuan and Lu Ziming. Reward: Three thousand limit points. One mysterious gift package.】

Jiang Xuan was startled and immediately stopped. His heart filled with joy. Missions had finally arrived.

Annihilating the Hegemon Sect alone would give him six thousand limit points, allowing him to directly Breakthrough to the Spirit Infant Realm. This mission came at just the right time.

Moreover, the Hegemon Sect, a Sect with a Legacy of over a hundred years, definitely contained more treasures than the Three Great Families, and their quality and Rank would also be much better.

Not long ago, when he eagerly refined the treasures of the Three Great Families to enhance his Progenitor Dragon Bloodline, the result was like a mud ox entering the sea, with no reaction at all.

The disgusted look in the red Dragon's eyes in his Qi Sea almost made him vomit blood.

It was then that he realized his Bloodline was a bottomless pit, requiring more and better treasures to satisfy it.

As for the final obsession, it had to be eliminated, otherwise, it would affect his Dao Heart. He had felt uncomfortable all over just now.

"Don't worry. After destroying the Hegemon Sect, I'll help you kill that pair of scumbags," Jiang Xuan whispered. Then, he looked up into the distance, killing intent spreading in his eyes.

Three days later, in front of the Hegemon Sect's mountain gate, at the bottom of a stone-built staircase, a huge stone tablet stood. The three characters for Hegemon Sect were carved on the stone tablet, majestic and imposing.

In front of the stone tablet, people stood densely packed, most of them teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old.

They looked at the group of people wearing Hegemon Sect attire in front of the mountain gate with anticipation in their eyes, revealing a longing.

Today was the day the Hegemon Sect opened its doors to accept Disciples. They had arrived early, hoping to be taken in and soar to success from then on.

Among the crowd, Jiang Xuan, dressed in coarse linen clothes, mingled within. He wore a mask, revealing half of his face.

The Hegemon Sect was the number one Sect in the nearby cities, so naturally, there were people from Qinglin City who came to participate in the Disciple recruitment.

He was too famous in Qinglin City and feared being recognized, which would disrupt his plan. So he wore a mask.

He looked at the bustling scene before him, a trace of inexplicable excitement flashing in his eyes. He grinned and whispered, "Hegemon Sect, I'm here!"
