Whoosh!
On the stone table of the courtyard, a map with precise description and appropriate details was spread out.
Lin Xun drew a red circle in the position of Mist City with pen. Then he looked carefully on the map.
Lin Xun bought this map from a bookstore selling all kinds of geomantic books after leaving the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists. It had the terrains of the whole empire’s 34 provinces.
Shue Jin came over and grabbed the pen from Lin Xun’s hand with a glance. He drew three zigzag lines on the map. They all started from Mist City to the Forbidden City, the core of the north.
“They are the three routes to Mist City. The westernmost route goes through 37 cities and hundreds of mountains, including some dangerous terrains. If you choose to go to the Forbidden City down this road, it is easy to meet some unforeseen accidents.”
Shue Jin analyzed with deep voice, “On the easternmost route, you need to travel from the Soul Oblivion Sea, which is the safest way in the past, but not now. Every year in this season, the Soul Oblivion Sea meets its turbulent period with raging storms and frequent tsunamis. What’s more, there are many fierce animals in the sea. No one dares to go to the Soul Oblivion Sea at this time.” From those word, it could be seen that the particulars were so familiar to him.
Lin Xun’s eyes fell on the middle route and asked, “This seems to be the shortest route to the Forbidden City.”
Shue Jin nodded and continued, “Although there are some dangerous places on this road, you can go through them freely in spirit shuttle or battleship.”
Speaking of this, Shue Jin looked up at Lin Xun, “But I don’t suggest you to take this way because the enemy will certainly send massive soldiers to guard along the way.
Lin Xun was silent.
Shue Jin kept on, “Boy, I suggest you taking the west road. Although the road is long and winding, and there are many dangerous places, you may encounter less attacks from enemy.”
Lin Xun finally shook his head and refused. He pointed to the road in the middle of the map and decided, “I’ll go in this way to the Forbidden City. Unless the enemy sends tens of thousands of elite practitioners, it’s impossible to control all the places along the way since it was million meters way.”
Shue Jin frowned, “Do you think the most dangerous place is the safest one?”
Lin Xun shook his head and said, “I have a premonition that no matter which way I go, I will inevitably encounter the forces sent by the enemy. In this case, why not choose the most direct way. What’s more, they have already shown that they won’t send the strong beyond the Gang Spirit Ream. I don’t have to be afraid of these practitioners.”
Shue Jin was silent for a moment and asked, “So you’ve decided?”
Lin Xun nodded his head.
Shue Jin didn’t try to persuade him any more but asked, “How will you go to Forbidden City?”
Lin Xun said casually, “Didn’t you say that only the spirit shuttle can pass through the dangerous places along the way? Then I take the spirit shuttle to there.”
Speaking of this, Lin Xun put the map away and hid it on his body carefully. Then he said, “Old Jin, please help me to get the certificate of Province Test in two days. I need to prepare some gadgets with all my strength these two days.”
“Gadget?”
Shue Jin doubted.
Lin Xun laughed, “Yes, some killing gadgets. Although it wouldn’t affect bigwigs like you, but it should have some miraculous effects on my enemy this time.”
With that, he turned around and walked into the house.
When Lin Xun returned back this time, he not only bought maps outside, but also a large number of spiritual materials and medicines. Over ten thousand gold coins he had saved were completely spent.
In order to enter the Forbidden City this time, Lin Xun spent all his costs.
Was this kid going to make some powerful crossbows?
Shue Jin thought about what things Lin Xun would make. As Lin Xun was a master of spiritual tattoos, he might make some powerful crossbows.
…
Forbidden City.
A thousand-year mansion.
“Dude, this time we gather here for one thing that is to stop a young man named Lin Xun from entering the Forbidden City.”
The eyes of Chi Cangmei were fierce; she scanned all the people around and commanded, gentle but mighty.
Although Chi Cangmei was a young girl, her eyes were as sharp as electricity and she had an awe-inspiring momentum, which allowed no disobedience.
In fact, she had the asset to be arrogant. She was the eldest daughter of Chi’s lineal descent, which was one of the seven top aristocratic family in the Forbidden City. She had a very prominent identity and reached the Sea Spirit Realm at the age of 17. So she was known as the Pearl of the younger generation of the Chi family.
There were five young people standing beside Chi Cangmei. They were all dignified and extraordinary. At first sight, people knew they were noble sons.
However, in the face of Chi Cangmei, these young people subconsciously restrained their pride and became extremely submissive.
Whoosh!
Chi Cangmei spread out a map that had been outlined with many symbols. It was obvious that she had studied it for a long time.
“There are about three possible routes from Mist City to the Forbidden City. At the west, Lin Xun need to go through 37 cities.”
Chi cangmei said quickly.
If Lin Xun was here, he would be surely to find that the three road outlined by Chi Cangmei was almost the same as that by Shue Jin.
Those five young men all showed an expression of listening attentively and dared not neglect something.
At the end of the speech, Chi Cangmei raised his head and scanned the crowd, “No matter which route Lin Xun chooses, I want to arrange all our forces on these three routes.”
As soon as this remark came out, a young people couldn’t help but feel surprised, “But it seems to be…”
Chi Cangmei said quietly, “Do you all think I make a fuss.”
Everyone else nodded with the same strange feeling. They were just trying to stop a young man in the Human-gang Realm. It was useless to inspire so many people.
If they agreed to do like this, the human resources and materials that should be mobilized would be too large. The number of Gang Spirit Realm practitioners would reach at least a thousand.
Chi Cangmei didn’t say anymore but she took out a pack of scroll and gave it to them, “This is some information about Lin Xun. You can have a look first.”
All the young people immediately came forward, opened the scroll and skimmed through it. In a moment, their faces changed and became confused.
At last, some people could not help but take a cool breath, and their eyes showed shock.
There were many things that Lin Xun did in the Mist City. It included the bloody killing in the rainy night and the peak duel with Huang Jianchen. Most importantly, it clearly recorded that Lin Xun was one of the trainees who graduated successfully from the Bloodthirsty Camp.
No matter what it was, it was enough to prove that this young was absolutely a tough character.
“I didn’t expect that a 15 young man in Human-gang Realm has such a strong fighting force. Even fierce Huang Jianchen was defeated by Lin Xun! He should not be underestimated.”
Someone sighed.
The most terrible thing was that he was one of the trainees who graduated from Bloodthirsty Camp successfully, which would be ruthless and treacherous. Of course he was not only good at killing and lurk, but also proficient in fighting for life. He was no different from monsters.
All the faces of them were dignified. From Lin’s identity as a trainee of Bloodthirsty Camp, they judged the things might not easy.
However, no matter how powerful Lin Xun was, he was just a man of Human-gang Realm. What was more, he was alone without helping from other forces. If they want to prevent him from entering the Forbidden City, they could choose a more labor-saving way.
Some people still thought that the arrangement just made by Chi Camg mei was too inspiring.
Before Chi Cangmei could say more, the door was pushed open, and a pale, emaciated man in blue came in the room.
“Xu Qianjing! How come you are here?”
When they saw the man in blue, they all looked surprised.
Xu Qianjing, a talented person in the Tactics Department of The Green-deer School, was proficient in arranging troops and arrays. He never failed any arrangements and had great attainments in the way of deduction.
Even in the Tactics Department, where many brilliant generals were born, Xu Qianjing was still a person who couldn’t be ignored.
Xu Qianjing won the first prize in competing with hundreds of peers who were proficient in deployment in the three-year battle of Tactics Department last year, and became the youngest tactical master there.
How couldn’t they be surprised when they saw such a genius with many dazzling prizes suddenly appeared?
“Don’t be surprised. I invited Qianjing.”
Chi Cangmei explained casually and asked Xu Qianjing to sit down. She filled a cup of tea for him personally, which seemed quite respectful.
In other words, only a character like Xu Qianjing worthed her treatment.
“I just got the news that Lin Xun has passed the Province Test of southwestern provinces, and his comprehensive score is rated first.”
As soon as Xu Qianjing was seated, he put up a piece of heavy news, which shocked other people’s hearts and changed their looks.
There were thirty-four provinces in the Empire, but Lin Xun was able to become the first in the Province Test of southwestern province. It could be imagined how powerful he was.
Even Chi Cangmei could not help but feel a little shocked. She asked urgently, “Is he still in the Human-gang Ream?”
It was a key question.
Xu Qianjing nodded, “The result of the Province Test will not be false. According to the news, in the third round, Lin Xun defeated four Earth-gang Realm practitioners and one Heaven-gang Realm overmatch. None of these defeated opponents is an ordinary role. It proves that Lin Xun’s fighting ability could compete with Human-gang Realm strongmen. He is really a great young man.”
Xu Qianjing’s had a pale face, but his eyes were clear like a crystal sky, which could reflect all things in the world.
His tune was gentle and methodical. His elegant demeanor made people feel comfortable..
But when his words were heard by the others, they all could not help but turn gloomy..
