Several days passed, and their journey was largely uneventful. The distance between their Sect and the Capital was vast, so Wong An and Ba Bel traveled using their body-lightening skill.Wong An wanted to use this opportunity to let Ba Bel become more accustomed to using the body-lightening skill. Wong An was stunned to discover Ba Bel possessed such immense stamina, as his disciple was able to run non-stop for several hours without tiring.During their journey, Ba Bel continued to regularly consume Water Bamboo whenever he had the chance. Ba Bel hadn't forgotten his desire to achieve the Iron Tiger Bone quality before turning ten, and thus, he never slacked off.“If we maintain this speed, we'll soon reach the main road,” Wong An said.Indeed, after leaving the Earth and Sky Sword Sect, Wong An had taken the shortest route to the Capital, leading them to run around mountains, through valleys, and across grasslands. This path would be impassab

“Master, I’d like to practice for a bit before bed,” Ba Bel said to Wong An.Although it was already dark, the night was still too young for Ba Bel to rest. He wanted to find a secluded spot and consume Water Bamboo as usual.“Don’t go too far. This place isn’t very safe,” Wong An didn’t forbid him, feeling that Ba Bel possessed a certain level of self-protection.Ba Bel nodded softly before leaving Wong An alone. He knew that every night during their journey, Wong An would resume cultivating his internal energy.“Master’s condition has certainly improved compared to before, but it will still take time for him to fully recover,” Ba Bel thought, shaking his head.Wong An’s internal injuries were indeed very serious. If not for the quality of his bones and the internal energy he possessed when he sustained the wounds, Wong An might have died within days or become crippled. That W

Mi Suo invited Wong An to meet his future father-in-law, intending to give Wong An 400 gold coins. Although Wong An had refused him many times, Mi Suo insisted and persuaded Wong An to accompany him to meet his prospective father-in-law and accept the 400 gold coins he planned to bestow.Ba Bel thought it better not to attend such a boring event. "Master, I'd like to look around this place," Ba Bel told Wong An, who was walking with Mi Suo toward his future father-in-law's residence.Once Wong An agreed, Ba Bel walked in the opposite direction. Mi Suo requested a first-class guard to escort and accompany Ba Bel. Ba Bel refused Mi Suo's request, feeling it was unnecessary, but even Ba Bel himself couldn't resist Mi Suo's coaxing and persuasion for more than a minute. In the end, Ba Bel could only give in, paying little heed to the guard, a first-class warrior, who followed him.After walking and finding a secluded spot, Ba Bel told the guard, "I'm going to meditate. You should rest; I c

Mi Suo incessantly praised himself in front of his future father-in-law and fiancée. The way his fiancée looked at Wong An made Mi Suo uncomfortable and annoyed.“No wonder last night I dreamed of a very valiant and mighty God of War visiting my home. It turns out today my humble abode is graced by a great hero. We truly feel honored and incredibly fortunate.” Mi Suo’s future father-in-law openly flattered Wong An.Wong An, who was drinking tea, choked upon hearing Young Master Mi’s future father-in-law’s words. He thought that when someone dreams of a God of War visiting their home, it signifies an impending fierce war. The dream could also mean the family would be blessed with a child highly gifted in martial arts.However, considering Mi Suo’s future father-in-law was already middle-aged and his wife had passed away, only one possibility remained: Mi Suo’s future father-in-law’s residence was about to become a battlefield.Wong An choked again on his tea, served by Mi Suo’s future f

Zuo Ci took a deep breath, disappointment evident on his face. "I'm too late," he murmured softly, cleaning his sword of the masked assassins' blood."Senior, thank you for your help, but we still need to save Young Master Mi, my Master, and the others." Ba Bel showed his respect and gratitude to Zuo Ci for saving him from a dangerous situation.Zuo Ci's spirits lifted when he learned there was another martial artist protecting Mi Suo. Zuo Ci still held hope that Li Dian and Mi Suo were safe. Since Ba Bel referred to this martial artist as his master, Zuo Ci reasoned that if Ba Bel alone displayed such terrifying talent at a young age, then the martial artist who was Ba Bel's Master must surely be capable of protecting Mi Suo, perhaps even more formidable than Li Dian."Young man, please lead the way," Zuo Ci said with a smile to Ba Bel.The three then hurried towards the reception hall of Mi Suo's future in-laws' residence. Sure enough, as they entered the main courtyard, the intense
