Chapter 12 – Wind Is Old( Feng Lao )
” Yes i want it………” Xing Jue directly shouts out without thinking anything and immediately takes the purple correspondence letter from the hand of his master and starts looking at it. While he is looking at the letter, saliva starts dropping from his mouth.
” Is it really the letter for becoming the minister in inner circle of Yu-Feng Court…….? ” Xing Jue asks his teacher while blinking his big eyes while holding the letter, and his current expression is like a ordinary beggar’s expression when he suddenly somehow getting his hand on a gold coin.
The Yu-Feng Court is divided into two parts – The main pavilion, which is known as the Inner circle and the outer circle. The elder from whom Xing Jue was injured, is basically from Outer circle of Yu-Feng Court. Lu Zhan is also from outer circle of Yu-Feng Court as he is a disciple of an elder who is from outer Circle of Yu-Feng Court. In outer circle of Yu-Feng Court, the disciples practice some degree of martial art skills, after that they all enter the examination for entering the Inner circle OF Yu-Feng Court. If the disciple is selected from the examination, then he can become a minister of Inner Circle Yu-Feng Court and can enjoy superior practice treatments.
(In future Inner and outer Circle Yu-Feng Court will be describe as Inner Cabinet and outer Cabinet)
But the entry requirements are very harsh and demanding for Inner Cabinet, so practically a correspondence for becoming a minister in inner cabinet is priceless. as Xing Jue is now holding a priceless letter for becoming a minister in inner cabinet, he is very excited.
” Nonsense, Do you think this old man will give you a fake letter……………..? ” The old man says to Xing Jue with a unhappy expression.
” Hey…… i don’t dare to……. i don’t dare to……. for my master to have a correspondence letter for becoming a minister in Inner cabinet, is not a big deal…… ” Xing Jue says it immediately to the old man while trying to flatter him, as Xing Jue now knows the status of the old man.
” You think it is very easy to enter the inner cabinet of Yu-Feng Court…? To enter the main pavilion of Yu Feng Court you have to archive the level of Wu-Zun, no reference can allow you to enter the the inner circle. ” The old man intentionally says it to Xing Jue.
” Wu-Zun….? Even ordinary disciples must reach Wu-Zun level to enter the main pavilion? Really the ministers are worthy of being called the main force of Yu-Feng court, after all their power is so tyrannical. ” After hearing the words from the old man Xing Jue starts admiring the strength of Yu-Feng Court like, what will be the real strength when they all fight..? Xing Jue starts taking a broad view of his city’s top three clan heads, but all of them are at the level of Wu-Zong. If any body who attains Wu-Zun Level , the he will be like an ancestor level for his generation. The existence of that person in entire Yu-Feng Empire is also extremely tyrannical.
” Well, Kid don’t sigh with emotions, the mainland is a very big place and there are many powerhouses. Don’t think that the Yu-Feng Court is very powerful in Yu-Feng Empire. But if compared with other powerful forces then it is just a medium power force. ” Seeing Xing Jue’s expression, the old man says it with a smile on his face.
” Medium Power force…? Ha…… Ha…….. ” Hearing the words from the old man Xing Jue Lets out a forced smile on his face. His dream is to become the most powerful person in the whole continent, but after knowing all the details, it seems the road is full of many difficulties.
” Well, entering the inner circle by your talent will not be difficult, As I am having some matters to consider, i cannot come with you right now , but when I will have an opportunity, then I will visit Yu-Feng Court to see your progress” The old man says it to Xing Jue and immediately he disappears.
” Master, master…..before leaving me alone, please tell me your name…. ” Xing Jue helplessly dried out towards the sky, as his master disappears without telling his name. Xing Jue knows the status of his master is very tyrannical, so Xing Jue thought that by taking his masters name in Yu-Feng Court he might get some special treatment.
” Feng Lao ” , The sound of an old voice echoes through out the sky.
” Wind is old……..? What the h.e.l.l….? ” After hearing the words from the old man, Xing Jue almost spurt blood from his mouth. He knows that his master is simply being perfunctory towards him, even the ghost also knows that any wind is old. The voice of the old man stops transmitting, so Xing Jue comes to know that his master already left the place.
” Well, it seems like I have to take care of myself now……..” Xing Jue says it with a smile while patting the violet correspondence his chest. He starts walking towards Yun-Zong City relay station, as Yu-Feng Court is pretty far away than Yun-Zong City, and he don’t want to reach it by walking.
Outside the influence radar of Yu-Feng court which is about hundred miles away, there exist a piece of sierra( mountain range ). Due to its special topography many evil spiritual beast hide in the sierra. It is also called as Death Sierra. To reach Yu-Feng court you have to cross Death Sierra.
In the periphery of death sierra, there exist a gathering town where many caravans take shelter. Many mercenary groups or individuals are stationed here. If anybody who don’t have confidence in his or her strength for crossing the death sierra , then he or she can hire mercenaries to help them out, but the price for hiring is pretty high.
” Oh …… The city is quiet lively ….”. Xing Jue after travelling for several month uninterrupted arrives in the city, and while he gets down from the horse he says it in his mind.
” In this town there are many martial artist… ” Xing Jue says it with a sigh in his heart while expanding his soul strength. The town is not so big as his own city, unexpectedly every people present in the city are sending out martial energy as if they all are martial artists. Xing Jue thought that presently the city is full of mercenary soldiers.
Xing Jue already knew the risk of being in death sierra without any support, and he is a stranger fro this area. So his first job is to hire a team of mercenaries to accompany him till Yu-Feng Court. Xing Jue let out a sigh and move towards employment office to enquire about the fees for hiring mercenaries.
” What…..? Don’t have any mercenary soldiers for hire….? ” Xing Jue is surprised by the words of employment office and and says it with his mouth wide open.
“I’m sorry. Recently a strange thing happened in death sierra, a lot of people who have entered the sierra have not come out of sierra, which is why a lot of normal people are not daring to enter the sierra without any mercenary help. Commission Corps of mercenaries who are having little fame or bad reputation are also been hired by the poeple. So you have to wait for few days to hire any mercenaries in this town. ” The staff in employment office explains it to Xing Jue.
“No wonder there are so many people in town,and it turns out to be such a thing,” after hearing the staff explanation, Xing Jue gets some understanding of the present situation. Xing Jue left the employment office depressed to start looking for a place to stay for few days. When he starts to move he is startle by a noise and focus his attention towards the noise.
Xing jue cast his eye towards a group of men who were sitting about hundred meters apart from Xing Jue. There seems to be some conflict among them. Xing Jue having a curious psychology, he decides to have a look on the matter.
” d.a.m.n……, just learn from it, How can you leave with such a heavy hand….? ” At the moment in the crowd, a middle-aged man iangrily says it while holding a skill person who is severely wounded. Basically those two men are actually low-level martial artist.
” Your strength is too weak, so you do not have the qualification to sit among us…, Now you both get lost…….. ” Among the group of ten men, a very long and black beard guy casts a fierce look towards the middle-aged man and says it to him. After hearing the words from black beard guy, unexpectedly fear starts appearing on the face of the middle-aged man. Immediately without saying a single word, the middle-aged man hugs the wounded person and moves out of the crowd.
” Senior-Level Martial Artist…. ” Xing Jue whispers as he finds out the strength of the black beard man.
But at that moment those men have insert a sign of their strength to Xing Jue’s attention. The sign is indicated by the message – ” By calling the mercenary solider as trash and telling them not to come near then “. After seeing this sign Xing Jue is determined again and is very happy, and secretly says that “Really Heaven Never seals off all the ways, if heaven seals one way, it opens another way…..”.
