Chapter 25 Trial in the Great Wilderness
"They\'re carrying luggage; where are they planning to go?"
"There\'s only a month left until the annual celebration of Great Wilderness City and the time of the bet between the Qin Family and the Zhao Family. Is it possible that knowing they can\'t defeat the Zhao Family, they\'re planning to slip away early?"
As Qinchuan and the others exited the Qin Residence, some passing martial artists noticed the bundles carried by the Second Elder and the others and couldn\'t help but talk amongst themselves.
In a place like Great Wilderness City, Storage Treasures were considered quite precious, and a declining second-tier family like the Qin Family naturally would not possess such things.
Let alone the Qin Family, the entire Great Wilderness City had very few people who were qualified to wear a Storage Ring or even carry a Storage Bag.
That\'s why the Second Elder and others were each carrying a bundle of their own, holding their weapons in hand.
As for Qinchuan, his hands were empty. Various supplies were stored inside the black Dao Lotus in his sea of consciousness.
The black Dao Lotus wasn\'t specifically a Storage Treasure, but it had its own space inside.
Qinchuan now couldn\'t easily use it against enemies, as he couldn\'t withstand the power of the black Dao Lotus, but using it to store items didn\'t pose any problem.
At the moment, seeing the Second Elder and the others carrying their bundles and weapons, as if they were about to leave the city, many people associated this with the upcoming bet between the Qin and Zhao families a month later, speculating whether Qinchuan and the others wanted to leave early.
Qinchuan remained indifferent to the discussions of the people in the city, seemingly as if he hadn\'t heard them at all, certainly not taking them to heart.
However, Qin Shan and the other direct descendants, with the impetuousness of youth and blood heating their heads—especially when they heard the scoffs about the bet Qinchuan had made with the Zhao Family, suggesting it was an act of cowardice fearing the might of the Zhao Family—nearly became agitated enough to start a fight.
"Some people just love to wag their tongues; don\'t mind them. If you feel angry, when we\'re in the Great Wilderness, take the time to perfect your martial skills and strength. In a month, let\'s use our power to silence them!"
Qinchuan\'s calm voice reached Qin Shan and the others, which managed to quell the anger in their hearts.
They cast a cold glance at those who were talking and thought to themselves that in a month\'s time, they would definitely surprise everyone.
The group didn\'t delay any further and quickly left the city.
After leaving Great Wilderness City, everyone began to utilize their movement techniques, using Body Technique Martial Arts to travel.
The cultivation techniques Qinchuan had taught them were far from ordinary. Included among them were complete sets of martial skills, including body techniques.
Now, while using the travel time, everyone also took the opportunity to practice their movement skills.
Except for Qin Shan, everyone else was cultivating Xuan Level techniques, and the True Qi they were developing was of much better quality and more robust in quantity than what they had been cultivating with their Yellow Level techniques.
At this moment, as everyone used their movement techniques to travel, they soon vanished from the outskirts of Great Wilderness City.
"I\'m not seeing things, am I?"
"That was the Qin Family\'s people just now, right?"
"How could their movement speed be so fast? In the blink of an eye, they\'ve all disappeared?"
A few soldiers guarding the city gate watched as the Qin Family members sped off into the distance until only their vague silhouettes remained. They couldn\'t help but rub their eyes in astonishment.
...
"Qinchuan took some of the Qin Family elders and junior members out of the city?"
At the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianheng received the news and was slightly taken aback.
"There\'s only a month until the bet with our Zhao Family. What are they doing leaving the city at this time?"
Zhao Tianheng furrowed his brows.
"Father, it doesn\'t matter what they do; it\'s too late for them."
"By the time the month is up and the day of the bet arrives, whether the Qin Family fights or not, their properties will be ours!" Zhao Wujie said dismissively.
Zhao Tianheng nodded and laughed, "You\'re right. However, we still need to keep an eye on the Qin Family, we can\'t let all of them escape, lest they take with them resources that belong to our Zhao Family."
Saying this, he waved his hand, summoning a few of the Zhao Family guards, "You go and keep watch at the Qin Family gate. For this one month, don\'t let any more people from the Qin Family leave."
The guards responded with a salute, "Patriarch rest assured, with us guarding, not a single person from the Qin Family will be able to come out."
Zhao Tianheng waved his hand and the guards dispersed.
"Wu Ji, although those younger members of the Qin Family are nothing but a bunch of trash, with your current cultivation level at the Early Stage of the First Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, it will be easy for you to crush them when the time comes."
"However, your goal is not just these juniors from the Qin Family. You must strive to make your way out of Great Wilderness City one day and join a Sect, becoming a true person of high status. Do you understand?" Zhao Tianheng, after dismissing the guards, looked at Zhao Wujie, who had been somewhat neglecting his cultivation this past month, and earnestly instructed him.
