Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

"By the way." Before leaving, Zhang Linchuan suddenly looked at Tang Dun, "Is your name Tang Dun?"

"I am called that."

Zhang Linchuan smiled, "Dun means honest and sincere. That's a good name."

Tang Dun scratched his head, "My teacher gave it to me when I was young."

"Oh?" Zhang Linchuan asked.

"Our Tangshe Town is poor and can't afford to pay for education. There aren't many hunters who care about literacy. It was only when the teacher came to travel here that he stayed and taught us for three years. But three years later, he left again. He liked me the most back then, saying I was some kind of precious jade."

So it made sense.

The trend of traveling to study was admired by people at that time, and disciples of various schools had it.

For example, Confucian disciples believed in reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, and many of them traveled around the world. Some did it to broaden their horizons, while others did it to sell themselves everywhere.

Similarly, disciples of the Mohist school traveled all over the world and experienced everything. But if they met Tang Dun, they might teach some martial arts or even teach some rudimentary mechanical skills, rather than literacy.

Although the Daoist school was the state religion of Zhuangguo, it did not exclude disciples of other schools. Tang Dun's experience was not a problem.

Jiang Wang said, "Since you have read books, it's a waste to just be a small catcher here. After dealing with the girl's affairs, if you have no other obligations, you can consider taking the exam for the outer gate of the City Dao Academy."

This was because he saw that Tang Dun was simple and had some love for talent, but ultimately it depended on Tang Dun's own choice.

...

Leaving Tangshe Town and heading south along the official road was the way back to Fenglin City.

Due to the corresponding array patterns engraved, there were no beasts on the official road.

The horse's hooves were not urgent, and Zhang Linchuan's voice on the horse's back was neither fast nor slow, "Do you know how much resources the court has to invest every year to maintain the official roads throughout Zhuangguo?"

Jiang Wang shook his head. He really didn't know much about these things.

"That's an astronomical number." Zhang Linchuan said, "And these array patterns can only drive away low-level demon beasts. Strong demon beasts still need strong people to clean up. The court invests huge manpower and material resources every year to maintain smooth traffic in various places. It also invests resources into the Daoist Academy regardless of cost. The only thing we can do is to grow up as soon as possible to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities."

"I see."

"Then let me ask you again, why doesn't the court let everyone gather in the big city where there is a big formation for protection?"

"I think there are two reasons." Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and said, "First, the big city also has its limits and cannot meet the survival needs of everyone. Second, the radiation range of each city is limited, and the court needs these official roads to extend in all directions, with towns as nodes, because this represents the actual territory. And land is resources.""You see it clearly. The formations in each town and village cannot be as safe as those in the big cities, but the towns and villages have their irreplaceable advantages. Like Tangshe Town, as long as it exists, Fenglin City can harvest the resources from the Qichang Mountains continuously. Once Tangshe Town is gone, the Qichang Mountains will have nothing to do with our Zhuang country."

"The people of Tangshe Town dare to hunt in the Qichang Mountains, so they naturally have experts. That demon lurked when we went to the Judicial Bureau and didn't make any other moves when we weren't there. But it just happened to launch an attack when we arrived..."

At this point, Zhang Linchuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Wang with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Jiang Shidi, do you have anything that attracts them on you?"

Jiang Wang couldn't answer.

He did have a secret on him, but it only stopped at the virtual key inherited from Zuo Guanglie. All the changes happened in the Tai Xu Illusory Realm, and it should not have been discovered in reality. But if it didn't involve this, he was first attacked by demons after entering the Tai Xu Illusory Realm.

He was trying to figure out how to phrase his words to get past it when Zhang Linchuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed three fingers up, with the middle and ring fingers bent and the other three fingers extended straight at Jiang Wang.

And the electric arc leaped from the tips of the three raised fingers, converging into a thunderbolt and coming straight at Jiang Wang!

Jiang Wang didn't even have time to react. The thunderbolt slid past his ear and hit a dark green poisoned arrow, destroying it and causing it to fall.

It wasn't until then that Jiang Wang heard the sharp whistling sound of the poisoned arrow suddenly accelerating and smelled the burnt smell of the hair that was grazed by the thunderbolt.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhang Linchuan leaped from his horse and raised his empty right hand in a very strange gesture, condensing a thunder whip out of thin air.

"Come and die with me!"

He controlled the thunder whip and pounced like an eagle towards the attacker hidden in the forest on the left side of the official road.

It turned out that he had been prepared for a long time and was multitasking, secretly preparing two spells in advance, so he could counterattack at the first time the attack occurred.

Jiang Wang was still far behind this senior brother who had been tested in battles.

At this moment, a voice came from the forest on the right side, "Dianzi, let's retreat separately!"

Jiang Wang suddenly turned around!

How could he not recognize this voice? Although it was only a short conversation in the little girl's room in Tangshe Town, it was enough to make him remember it for a lifetime!

A Taoist element in the Tongtian Palace exploded silently, and Jiang Wang, like a crazy beast, rushed towards the direction where the voice came from with the most decisive posture.

Almost all civilians living in the Zhuang country must remember the first thing before going out—do not leave the official road.

Because outside the radiation range of human towns, everything beyond the official road is wilderness. It is the territory where beasts, demons, and even fierce beasts are active.

Zhang Linchuan was strong enough, so he ignored it.

Jiang Wang wanted to kill someone, so he also ignored it.He had never, ever been so angry before. Although Fang Pengju's betrayal was despicable, there was still a traceable reason behind it. But that little girl, she was still so young, how innocent was she?

Jiang Wang's sword trembled in its scabbard. It seemed to be getting excited, as if it knew that it was about to unleash the brightest brilliance of its life.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frosty blade had never been tested. Today, it would show its might, who would dare to oppose?

Clang, clang, clang, clang.

As the long sword leaped out, it collided with the scabbard five times before finally being unsheathed!

The sword was like a shooting star, while Jiang Wang was like a dragon.

A large tree groaned and fell to the ground, as the sinister left-hand path cultivator hidden in the tree quickly retreated.

In the rush, his face was unclear, but only his pale complexion, covered by tangled hair.

The Dao Yuan in the Tongtian Palace burst open one after another.

Jiang Wang had never been so extravagant before, he felt his whole body filled with power.

Before condensing the Dao vortex, every waste of a Dao Yuan was a regression in cultivation.

What was longevity and vision, what was a promising future, he didn't care.

He wanted to kill this demon, so that the pent-up anger could have an outlet, so that he could obtain peace of mind.

The Purple Qi Coming from the East Sword, the second killing move, brought up a frosty light.

In the midst of his retreat, the white-faced demon didn't have time to use his magic, his right arm rapidly swelled, his muscles bulging, his blood vessels bursting. Suddenly, he threw a straight punch, blasting towards the frosty light.

The sword and the demonic right arm clashed more than ten times in an instant.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Wang suddenly realized that he had made a mistake! This opponent was very strong! At least much stronger than he had thought before, not just relying on tricks and having a slightly higher cultivation level.

In other words, if this white-faced demon had exerted his full strength when he attacked Tangshe Town, Jiang Wang could hardly guarantee that he would have survived.

But Jiang Wang didn't flinch, the long sword trembled again, and a sharp whistling sound rose.

The Purple Qi Coming from the East Sword Art, the third killing move!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The demonic right arm was cut off and flew away!

"Damn it!!"

The white-faced demon roared, he didn't expect that if he was a little careless, he would be forced into a dead end by this desperate young man.

His back foot suddenly hit a big tree in mid-air, and he knew that he couldn't retreat any further, or he would be dead. The chance of survival came from fighting.

With the point of contact of his back foot as the center, the entire tree withered instantly.

Then, from his roaring mouth, a grey mist spewed out, carrying an extremely strong rotting odor and a pungent stench.

Manipulating the power of life and death was a Dao technique belonging to the underworld!

The sword light surged.

Jiang Wang urged the Dao Yuan to drive the sword light, which cut through the grey mist. Jiang Wang leaped out of the mist!

The Purple Qi Coming from the East Sword Art, the fourth killing move!

He let this demon escape from Tangshe Town, he was caught off guard and had no way to deal with it.

At least at this moment, he must give a proper account to the little girl named Niu'er!

This was the responsibility of a cultivator towards civilians.

This was the responsibility of an adult towards children!Jiang Wang's figure leaped into the air, breaking through the gray mist and appearing in the eyes of the white-faced demon.

And in his eyes, which were getting bigger and bigger and filled with horror, a brilliant sword light shone from above.

That was the last light he saw before the eternal darkness.
