Go Back and Practice for Another Ten Years.

They stopped by the roadside and listened for a while. There was not much noise ahead. It was almost certain that it was just some martial arts players competing there. From a distance, there seemed to be quite a few people, but this had nothing to do with Xia Leng and the others.

"Don't worry about it, we'll just go around it."

Xia Leng didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing as it could easily lead to complications, and what he hated most were uncontrollable accidents.

"Yes." Ji Jiu obeyed the order and drove the carriage again, moving slowly forward, but at the same time he concentrated and was alert to his surroundings to prevent any unexpected events.

When the carriage passed by, the gathered people from the martial arts world also cast curious and scrutinizing glances at it.

"Sir, these people have such fierce looks in their eyes." Xiao Xiu'er looked outside through the gap in the curtains, "They don't look like good people at all."

Xia Leng said indifferently: "People in the martial arts world have always lived on the edge of a knife, do you think there are good people?"

"Of course there isn't." Xiao Xiu'er disagreed with Xia Leng's statement, "Sir, don't think that Xiu'er knows nothing, okay? I've also read books and novels. Those disciples of famous and upright sects travel the world just to do good deeds. I've heard in Lanjing that there are four great masters in the world, such as Master Baiyu and Master Hongfeng... Not only are they young and handsome, but they are also highly skilled in martial arts. They are the dream lovers of many girls."

As she spoke, Xiao Xiu'er noticed that Xia Leng's eyes were still filled with contempt, so she quickly came to his aid: "Xiao Ling'er, your Yunfeng family is also a force in the martial arts world, and you should know something about the martial arts world. What do you think, is the Fourth Young Master a good person? Are the people in the famous and upright sects good people?"

"Sister Xiu'er, this is not necessarily true." Feng Tianling hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but tell the truth, "There are also intrigues among the famous and upright sects. As for the four young masters, I can't say that they are all bad people. But the young master Baiyu among them is not a good person at all."

Xiao Xiuer stared at Feng Tianling and said unhappily, "That's 'Heavenly White Jade Capital', known as the best young master in the martial arts world. His deeds of chivalry and robbing the rich to help the poor are told by storytellers every day in the restaurants of Lanjing. How could he be a bad guy?"

"I don't know about other things, but he was the one who framed my brother for offending the immortal sect." Feng Tianling said indignantly, "That Mr. Bai Yu also took the opportunity to blackmail our family. He said he could help us clear up the misunderstanding between us and that sect, but he took the money but didn't do anything. Instead, he sowed discord and forced my brother to flee to the ends of the earth. There has been no news of him since then."

"Is he really that bad?" Xiao Xiu'er felt that her three views were challenged. Although it was still a little hard to accept, she did not doubt Feng Tianling's words. So she couldn't help feeling a little awkward. She thought to herself: If I have the chance to meet Master Baiyu, I must ask him what's going on.

"Stop now!"

As expected, Xia Leng and his companions' carriage was stopped by those gangsters.

"What's the matter?" Ji Jiu looked at the person who stopped the carriage with cold eyes, "Could it be that my friend wants to rob the road?"

The people who stopped the carriage were several young men in yellow tights. They were not very strong, but looked extremely tough. Their slightly bulging temples showed that they were quite skilled in martial arts.

"Shut up! Don't insult us!" The leading man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but a big nose, and looked very strange. He held a golden knife upside down in his hand and shouted coldly: "We are from the Golden Knife Sect, how could we do such a lowly and dirty thing as robbing people!"

"Then what do you want to do?" Ji Jiu said calmly. He had heard of the Golden Sword Sect. It was quite famous in Yunzhou and was affiliated with a third-rate immortal cultivation sect called the Wanqi Sect.

The man with the garlic nose took a glance at the carriage and had some idea in his mind. Although the carriage was luxurious, it was not top-notch, and there were no markings such as family crests on the body of the carriage. It was obviously just an ordinary wealthy family, so he could take advantage of it.

"Today, our nine sects in Yunzhou are holding a martial arts test here to decide the leader of the nine sects. Jiuyue will lead the team to participate in the grand event in Lanjing." The man with the garlic nose said with a hint of pride, "You are passing by here, which is also a fate. I would like to ask a few friends to stay and be a witness. It won't take much time. We will give you a small thank you gift afterwards."

When people in the martial arts world compete, in addition to inviting fellow practitioners to attend, they will also invite some outsiders to be witnesses. If they cannot invite enough important people, they will indeed force men to join the fight on the street. However, from this point, it can be seen that the so-called Yunzhou Nine Sects are really not very mainstream.

Ji Jiu was worried that being a witness to such a competition would humiliate Xia Leng's status, so he refused: "That's not necessary. My young master has other important matters to deal with and can't be delayed here."

"My friend, you are really disrespecting us, the Nine Sects of Yunzhou, aren't you?" The man with the garlic nose raised his eyebrows, revealing a deep displeasure, and casually made a knife flower, saying in a cold voice: "If this is the case, I'm afraid you will have a hard time walking in Yunzhou in the future."

The few people following behind the garlic-nosed man also held their knives horizontally, pretending to be ready to attack at any time, which looked quite imposing.

"Really? I'd like to know why the road is so difficult to travel on." Ji Jiu certainly heard the threat in these words, but he didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, these martial arts sects were nothing to worry about.

The man with the garlic nose was startled. This man saw their scene and heard the names of the Nine Sects of Yunzhou, and still dared to say such things. He was either a tough guy or a fool, and both were not easy to deal with.

"Ji Jiu, forget it. It's okay to let them go and take a look." Xia Leng's unique indifferent voice came from the carriage, and no emotion could be heard at all.

Xia Leng was not the same type of person as his father. He did not like to use violence to solve problems, and he also hated trouble. If they rushed in directly now, there would be no problem, but it would also attract the attention of the nine sects of Yunzhou, which would waste more time.

Ji Jiu responded respectfully: "I understand."

"May I ask what your name is, sir?" The man with the garlic nose judged the person by the voice and felt that the person in the carriage might be of high status, so he immediately bowed and said, "I am Ma Xingri from the Golden Sword Sect. I owe you a favor this time and I will definitely repay you in the future."

"No need." Xia Leng said indifferently: "My last name is Leng. We will leave after watching your competition. I don't think we will have any interactions in the future. There is no need to talk about rewards."

The man with the garlic nose also had his own pride. Hearing this, he became a little angry and said, "Mr. Leng, please come this way!"

Under the guidance of the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect, Ji Jiu drove the carriage around to a small road on the side. After turning a few circles, he saw a large manor in the forest, called Zhuxian Manor.

After entering the manor, Ji Jiu drove the carriage and was led to the stable by the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect.

Xia Leng, Feng Tianling and Xiao Xiu'er got off the carriage, and under the guidance of the garlic-nosed man, they slowly walked towards the front yard of the manor.

✨ *Your reading journey starts here!* **wtr-lab.com**​​

A large arena was built in the square in the middle of the front yard of the manor. There were many seats on the eight sides of the arena, but none of them were full. It was estimated that there were no more than three to five hundred people.

At this time, two young men were fighting fiercely on the ring, one holding a sword and the other holding a knife, and the fight was difficult to determine.

"It's just the two of them fighting." Xiao Xiu'er glanced at the ring from a distance and subconsciously said, "It doesn't look that good."

"Young lady, watch your words!" The garlic-nosed man turned around and warned in a cold voice, "The man holding the knife on the stage is our Golden Sword Sect's Young Master Ding Ziyang, and the other one is the Flower Sword Sect's senior disciple Wen Xiao. They are both outstanding people in the martial arts world and their martial arts skills are already first-rate. If you are not afraid, then don't talk nonsense."

"What's there to not understand?" Xiao Xiu'er wrinkled her nose and retorted directly, "It's just not that good. I can't help but say that Ji Jiu can beat more than ten or twenty of them."

The man with the garlic nose didn't want to argue with a woman, lest he be branded as a woman bully, so he could only look at Xia Leng: "Master Leng, I advise you to discipline your maidservant, otherwise it will cause you trouble."

"I don't think there will be any trouble. She didn't say anything wrong. One's swordsmanship is muddled, and the other's swordsmanship is fancy. Neither is very good." Xia Leng inherited Xia Tian's protective nature. That is, only he can bully his own people, but he will never allow outsiders to criticize him. "When you have time, you should let your young master practice more. His swordsmanship is really not satisfactory."

On the ring, the young man wielding the knife had amazing hearing. When he heard what Xia Leng and the others said, he was extremely angry and distracted for a moment. As a result, he was taken advantage of by his opponent, who broke his shoulder with a sword and defeated him.

"Brother Jin Shi, thank you for letting me win." The young man wielding the sword held the sword upside down, bowed with a smile, and decided the winner directly, not giving his opponent any chance to fight back.

The young man with the knife was so angry that he could not vent his anger. He could only yell at Xia Leng: "You bastard, what did you just say? Say it again if you dare!"

His shout naturally attracted the attention of everyone present to Xia Leng and the other three.

"Who are you scolding, you bastard!" Xiao Xiu'er got angry when she heard someone scolding Xia Leng. She pointed at the young man with the knife and said, "My master said your knife skills are terrible. Is he wrong? Even if he says it a hundred times, your knife skills are still terrible."

"You're looking for death!" said the young man wielding the knife as he was about to jump off the ring, slashing forward with the knife in his hand.

"Hey, Brother Jin Shi, wait a minute!" The young man wielding the sword stepped forward to block the attack, and said with a smile, "I think she just said it unintentionally. Why do you have to get angry with a girl?"

Xiao Xiuer added: "You are not that good at swordsmanship, your skills are very poor. It is your blessing that my young master is commenting on you."

After saying this, the young man wielding the sword looked cold.

"Ma Xingri, who are you bringing here?" One of the middle-aged men in a gold-embroidered robe opened his eyes wide and shouted at the garlic-nosed man.

The man with the garlic nose was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly reported: "Master, they are just guests passing by. The disciples called them over to be witnesses."

"What a lousy guest! Get him out!" the man in the golden robe said coldly, "Especially this bitch, slap her mouth to pieces for talking nonsense here!"

The man with the garlic nose could only give Xia Leng an apologetic look and said, "Mr. Leng, Ma has warned you to be careful with your words. It's a pity that you didn't listen to my advice, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

"A bunch of boring people held a boring meeting and didn't allow others to comment." Xia Leng was a little unhappy and said in a cold voice: "You don't have to think about the quota to go to Lanjing. You should go back to your own homes and practice hard for another ten years."

"You are so arrogant! Then let me see how strong you are." As he spoke, the young man with the knife raised his knife and slashed towards Xia Leng.

The knife was as fast as lightning and reached Xia Leng's throat in the blink of an eye.

This isn't just a test of strength, it's clearly a one-hit-kill move.
