Chapter 11: Arrival at Tianyang Prefecture

The next day before dawn.

"Giddy up!"

A cry came from the Xiao family. Four horses pulling a carriage quickly left Yunhai City.

Inside the carriage sat Xiao Chen and Xiao Fa.

"It will take us more than ten days to get to Tianyang Prefecture, even if the horses run all day and night."

Xiao Fa said in a deep voice, briefing Xiao Chen on some local customs. "In Tianyang Prefecture, there are many masters and countless geniuses. In Yunhai City, the Spirit Incarnation Realm is the strongest, but in Prefecture City, there are many experts in the Xuanwu Realm too."

"Among them, the most powerful are the Seven Greatest Households. In their family, there are at least two experts in the Xuanwu Realm guarding Prefecture City. Their strength and skills are extremely formidable."

Xiao Fa's eyes were solemn. "The Seven Greatest Households..."

All of a sudden, he paused and looked at Xiao Chen, who sat next to him, keeping his upright posture. However, he closed his eyes and let out a light snoring sound.

"You're asleep?"

Xiao Fa was speechless. He shook his head and did not say anything else. He simply practiced the Dragon-slaying Sword silently.

During the past few dozen days, his cultivation had progressed very quickly. Not only had he grasped the Dragon-slaying Sword, but he had also broken through to level nine of the Spirit Incarnation Realm.

Ten days later.

Xiao Fa glanced helplessly at Xiao Chen. This kid had been sleeping since they entered the carriage. He slept for more than ten days and did not wake up at all.

He slept like a log.

However, at this moment, in his dreams.

Xiao Chen's entire body was covered in lightning. His eyes were filled with endless sharp lights.

"Finally, I have broken through to the Xuanwu Realm!"

Just as he was deep in thought, a bolt of lightning struck him in his mind. A vast amount of information violently flooded into his mind.

After a long while, he calmed down.

The Thunder Sacred Method!

This time, the supreme martial arts manual rewarded by the system was a cultivation technique.

In order to complete the cultivation in the Xuanwu Realm, he would have to transform Spiritual Qi into Xuan Qi.

Cultivation methods were the key to a transformation.

Therefore, the cultivation method was precious to the experts in the Xuanwu Realm.

When a good cultivation method was born, it could often cause competition among the Xuanwu Realm experts and would cause a bloody storm. Of course, the most advanced cultivation methods on Tianlong Land were at Sky Level. However, the Thunder Sacred Method was a sacred skill. It was much more advanced than the Sky Level.

Suddenly, a great roar came from the outside world, waking Xiao Chen up.

The roar was so fierce that even the Spiritual Qi in the air became turbulent.

Then, a scorching hot energy rapidly spread from afar.

Xiao Fa frowned, opened the curtains, and said in surprise, "It's the Firecloud Beast!"

"This demonic beast is comparable to a level four of the Spirit Incarnation Realm. However, this guy's skin is tough, so even level five of the Spirit Incarnation Realm cannot kill it easily."

Bang boom boom!

Muffled sounds could be heard as they stepped on the ground, causing the ground to shake violently.

"Firecloud Beast, you're courting death!"

They saw a beautiful young lady in bright yellow clothes with a dagger in her hand. She stared at the Firecloud Beast with a fierce expression.

However, if one were to look closely, they would find that the young lady's hands were trembling. Obviously, she was not as strong as she seemed on the surface.

"This young lady is in trouble."

Xiao Fa frowned and said with sympathy.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the Firecloud Beast attacked crazily. Wild and violent flames burned past. Wherever it passed, the ground became scorched.

The young lady's face was deathly pale. She gripped the dagger and slashed forward. A strand of sword energy appeared and rushed forward in an attempt to resist the Firecloud Beast's attack.

However, the Firecloud Beast was more powerful than the demonic beast of level four of the Spirit Incarnation Realm, so she could not resist it.

With a thud, the young lady was sent flying by the Firecloud Beast's attack. Coincidentally, she landed near Xiao Chen and Xiao Fa.

The moment she saw the carriage, the young lady was stunned. Her pale face turned even paler as she said anxiously, "Leave quickly! The Firecloud Beast is coming!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the large Firecloud Beast rushed forward. Its huge shadow covered the entire sky.

"Am I going to die?"

The young lady pursed her lips tightly together, and her eyes flashed with despair. She subconsciously closed her eyes.

The next moment.

"Get lost!"

A low shout was heard.

The young lady opened her eyes and saw a figure standing in front of her. The figure's hand was placed on the body of the Firecloud Beast as he spoke indifferently.

It was Xiao Chen. He originally did not want to get involved in other people's affairs, but this young lady herself could not even protect herself, yet she was still thinking about them. This made him feel warm, so as a result, he changed his mind.

"Sir, hurry up and leave. You're no match for the Firecloud Beast!"

The young lady quickly spoke. In her opinion, the Firecloud Beast was too powerful. Even if she was already at the peak of the third level of the Spirit Incarnation Realm, she was still far from being his match. This youth might be a bit stronger than her, but he still could not be a match for level four of the Spirit Incarnation Realm.

If he angered the Firecloud Beast, he would die.

She did not want others to get into trouble because of her.

"Oh? Are you talking about this Firecloud Beast?"

Xiao Chen did not look back and only asked calmly. He then exerted force on his palm and threw the Firecloud Beast, which weighed more than 5,000 pounds, away without any trouble!

"It is no match for me."

Bang!

The Firecloud Beast fell to the ground and immediately died.

The young lady was stunned and her jaw dropped.

"Th-this... this Firecloud Beast was at level four of the Spirit Incarnation Realm, so how did it suddenly become so weak? Moreover, it died as soon as it fell?"

When did the demonic beasts become so fragile?

The young lady was at a loss.

"Are you alright, young lady?"

Xiao Fa asked with concern. Then he took out some medicine and handed it to the young lady.

"Thank you, without you, I would have been dead."

The young lady said compliantly and then added with a bitter face, "Uncle, where are you going? Can you take me there? My home is in Tianyang Prefecture, but I can't move now."

She seemed to feel that her request was a little too much and had an embarrassed look on her face. She said timidly, "I would appreciate it greatly if you could send me to Tianyang Prefecture."

Xiao Fa waved his hand and said with a hearty smile, "You don't need to thank us. We are going to Tianyang Prefecture too."

"Really? That's great!"

The young lady clenched her fist and gasped softly. Her body seemed to be less in pain.

One day later.

The outline of Tianyang Prefecture appeared ahead of Xiao Chen and others.

The tall city wall was majestic and magnificent with a big golden word engraved on it: Tianyang.

"Meng Ye, we've arrived at Tianyang Prefecture. Where is your house? We will send you there first."

Xiao Fa said with a smile.

After spending a day together, they knew that the young lady's name was Meng Ye and that her family had lived in Tianyang Prefecture for generations.

Meng Ye waved her hand. "It's okay, you don't have to see me off. Thank you, uncle."

She blinked and looked at Xiao Chen with anticipation. "I'll come back, and we can get to know each other later, Xiao Chen."

"Sure."

"Okay! It's set then."

Meng Ye cheered, jumped out of the carriage, and disappeared from their sight.
