Blood Cultivators

Because of that, the other two who were till have the urge to fight but don't want to lose their lives. Li Xin looks around and it was entirely a mess. "I should be get going." He exclaims and walks out of the inn and headed to the town that he was supposed to go to.

"I need to set up camp for the meantime because it's getting darker as I walked into this forest," He whisper while looking for a good place to take camp. After a few minutes, he found a place that is suitable to take camp. It was clean and the trees are surrounding it. He started a fire pit and lays down on the ground.

Morning came and the sun have shine across his face. He yawn and look around. The fire pit that he created has already turned to ashes. There seems to be no phantom beast that have look at him as food.

Li Xin stand up and tries to find a river that he could take a bath and clean himself from the blood of the cultivators he killed last night. After walking for a few meters, he found a river which is also near to a watchtower.

Then he arrived at the place where the river was flowing through. The guard on the watchtower shouted at him. "Hey young man! What are you even doing there?" Li Xin looks up and saw the armored soldier that shout at it.

"Well, what do you think? Am I going to dig up a hole? There is water so I will go to get a free bath," He replies and the armored soldier gets pissed for his answer. While Li Xin continued to walk to the shallow part of the river.

After taking a bath, he turns around and looked that there are a couple of soldiers that are coming towards him, so he immediately race to his things and started wearing his robe and grabbing his spear.

The soldiers looked at him and they were worried that Li Xin might attack, so they were ready for their arms in case Li Xin will attack. "How can I help you sirs?" Li Xin ask kindly so that the tension on both sides may decrease and will not escalate into a fight.

"We are just checking you because you seem to have a weapon? May we ask your name and the location of your home and where are you going?" the guard that has an insignia on his left shoulder says while the other on his side have grip the handle of their sword.

"Ah, my name is Li Xin, I came from the southern region of a small town. And I am heading to the Destiny town." Li Xin smile, and the guards felt relief that Li Xin is heading to the Phantom Beasts plains.

"So you are a cultivator?" one guard ask and was excited to meet Li Xin. Even though they are still skeptical because Li Xin was a young man. "I am practicing martial arts but I dont know if I am to be called as a cultivator. As I don't have a sect that I have joined yet because I am still young."

"So why did you want to go to the Phantom Beasts plains?" the armored guard on the left asked. Li Xin answered with "Because I need to find someone that can help me enter a sect that I can develop" and because of his answers, the guards nodded and said their farewell before leaving Li Xin alone. And when they turn around Li Xin smile,

"I always like how innocent my face is" He then turned around and fix his things before leaving the place and heading to the Destiny Town. And while he was walking on the dirt road, he sees not from a far that there was a wagon that have stopped in the middle of the dirt road.

Li Xin arrived at the location where the wagon stopped and he looked at the back of the wagon, where it covered by a white linen. And when he looked inside, there were quite a few boxes and weapons.

But the people were gone there are also no signs of blood, so that means that the people that owned the wagon traveled to the forest. Li Xin conclusion and because hew as not a thief he continue his travel to the town.

[2 hours have passed]

Li Xin have reached the walls of the Destiny town. He looks around and he saw that there were also a lot of cultivators that are entering the town. And the town also has tall walls for the security of the people inside from the phantom beasts.

"Pass," the guard of the wall said while letting pass the 2 cultivators in front Li Xin. "Halt, you need to pay 5 taels of silver to enter or leave" Li Xin nodded with the gate guard and handed over 5 taels from one of his bags of taels. The gate guard looked at Li Xin one more time before saying "Pass" when Li Xin entered the town. It was bustling with people. There are a lot of shops, from weapons to herbs to food. There are they build a lot of stalls that are even at the side of the wall.

"Is this really a town and not a city? It is really huge compare to my old town." Li Xin said while walking to find a pleasant inn to stay for the entire 3 months of his fighting against the phantom beasts. After walking for 20 minutes, Li Xin found a shabby inn that no one dare to enter.

While he was walking towards the shabby inn, a man with a muscular physique and an enormous sword as a weapon came out of the door. He needs to lower his head so that he won't get hurt by slamming his head on the ceiling door.

The muscular man looked at Li Xin, the muscular man then said, "What are you doing, kid? You seem lost. Are you new here?" The muscular man's deep voice then followed by a laugh. "I am not lost. I just want to enter the place because I need to stay in a place" the muscular man looked at Li Xin once again and said "Go to another inn and not here"

Then Li Xin still insists on going inside of the inn. Then the muscular man shouted at him while releasing an killing intent while Li Xin just looked at the man and did not move an inch. "If I were you, step aside, sir, before your head flies away from your position." The muscular man laughed and said "Do it"
