"It’s the Northern Protector!"
Upon recognizing the elder in the white robe, Zhuang Sheng imdiately beca respectful.
The thoughts of revenge that filled his mind vanished instantly.
In his mind, an image of Tao transmission surfaced.
Years ago, during his travels, he encountered the Northern Protector in the Northern Martial Forest.
Thanks to the Northern Protector’s guidance, his state of mind was elevated.
Now, letting the Northern Protector see his pathetic state, Zhuang Sheng was deeply troubled.
"Zhuang Sheng, rember my words and the kindness of our young friend Xia Liu, and leave."
The Northern Protector sighed.
"Thank you for your guidance, Northern Protector. I know what to do now."
Zhuang Sheng respectfully clasped his fists together, then picked up the cracked Taiwei Sword.
"Xia Liu, the broken righteous energy of this sword, I will restore it bit by bit. A hundred years from now, we shall et again!"
At this mont, Zhuang Sheng’s words no longer contained any intent to kill.
There’s no resentnt or anger.
More like a gentle loser, not admitting defeat, to challenge again a hundred years later!
Xia Liu smiled slightly: "I look forward to the mont when the Taiwei Evil-Slaying Sword shines with righteous light."
Without another word, after clasping his fists in salute, Zhuang Sheng left without turning back.
He no longer cared about the Zhuang Family’s affairs.
The mont the sword shattered, he had repaid his family for their nurturing.
From now on, he wanted to live for himself, and for the righteous path.
After Zhuang Sheng left, the remaining two Zhuang Family Nascent Soul practitioners began to tremble.
They clearly saw the situation.
But did not dare to make any move.
The Northern Protector exerted pressure, unless using a Blood Shield, escape was impossible.
"You two should go back as well. Tell the head of the Zhuang Family that in a month, Xia Liu will visit to settle everything!"
As Xia Liu’s words fell, the scene turned silent.
The two Nascent Soul mbers of the Zhuang Family didn’t respond imdiately. After so ti, they clasped their fists towards Xia Liu and the Northern Protector, then quickly left.
"Young friend, the righteous energy you possess makes feel a sense of familiarity. May I ask where it cos from?"
The Taiqing Sword puzzled the Northern Protector even more.
However, with so many cultivators present, he didn’t specifically point out Xia Liu wielding a supre-grade magic artifact.
"I was fortunate enough to obtain it in a certain secret realm."
Xia Liu was also unsure if the Heaven and Earth Righteous Law originated from the Southern Realm.
Only after fully understanding and being recognized, would he be able to speak freely.
"Not bad! The power of righteous energy you bear shows a pure holy heart. If needed, during your visit to the Zhuang Family in a month, this old man is willing to assist."
The Northern Protector was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.
His experience was far beyond ordinary cultivators.
He could easily discern Xia Liu’s concealnt.
If he chose not to disclose, he’d let him keep it private.
As long as Xia Liu promoted good and eliminated evil, refining this power of righteous energy to its peak, he would beco a pillar of the righteous path!
The Northern Protector’s words no doubt excited all the cultivators in the city.
A Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator actively offering assistance.
Moreover, this strong individual’s status and influence were terrifyingly overwhelming.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the strongest in the Northern Martial Forest.
Moreover, the Northern Protector had just returned and probably didn’t know that both the Cultivation Alliance and the Qi Family were protecting Xia Liu.
This shows that Xia Liu possesses a mysterious charm that inspires voluntary help.
Maybe it has sothing to do with the power of righteous energy within him.
"Thank you for your help, Northern Protector, but I, Xia, cannot drag you into this. This is a vendetta between and the Zhuang Family, so let settle it myself."
"Good, a young man with spirit. I’ll be staying in Imperial Dragon City these days, should you need anything, feel free to find there."
The Northern Protector’s path was naturally the path of destiny.
If Xia Liu didn’t need him, he wouldn’t insist.
The rest of the words were rely polite exchanges.
"Thank you, Senior."
"I hope to see you at the Ascension Tournant, with the divine state that looks down on the monsters of the Northern Realm!"
With that, the Northern Protector quickly disappeared at the city gate.
Not long after, Xia Liu also left, riding his sword.
"It’s truly terrifying!"
"So Xia Liu is this powerful!"
"No wonder the Qi Family and the Alliance are trying to recruit him. To defeat a Nascent Soul Early Stage with a Golden Pill Late Stage, how many can achieve this in the entire Northern Realm?"
"Tsk tsk! With such talent and strength, it’s not just the Alliance and the Qi Family, even the top forces of the Central Continent might not be able to refuse him."
"Indeed, given his trendous potential, who knows if he won’t be the next Spirit Transformation Peak..."
...
Among the heated discussions, so people had already spread certain news.
In one month, the new star of Myriad Realms, Xia Liu, will personally ascend the gates of the Zhuang Family to settle past grievances!
This news spread across the entire Myriad Realms within half a month.
Even Imperial Dragon City was briefly abuzz with this wave of news.
However, the upcoming Ascension Tournant held in Imperial Dragon City ant that the affairs between Xia Liu and the Zhuang Family didn’t make big waves here.
First-tier forces, however, were very concerned.
Because both the Qi Family and the Alliance protected Xia Liu.
Proving that Xia Liu was no ordinary person.
The battle in Dandong City gave Xia Liu great fa.
Initially, people thought Xia Liu was hiding his cultivation and that his true foundation was at the Nascent Soul Stage.
But the battle in Dandong City proved Xia Liu was indeed a Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator!
This was sothing many first-tier forces couldn’t believe.
But with one person’s confirmation, many first-tier forces were astounded.
That person was the Northern Protector!
The Northern Protector had been back in Imperial Dragon City for only a few days when he attended a first-tier force’s banquet.
While there, he was asked about Xia Liu’s duel with Zhuang Sheng in Dandong City.
The result shocked all present cultivators.
Xia Liu was indeed just a Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator!
For thousands of years, Nascent Souls have crushed Golden Pills, where a single glance could cause a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator to perish.
This was an undeniable fact.
But Xia Liu’s appearance broke this rule.
It made even those high in the Nascent Soul Realm wary.
In the future, they couldn’t provoke Golden Pill cultivators without reason.
Who knows if they possess cross-level combat capabilities?
Of course, these were jokes among Nascent Soul cultivators.
But they rembered Xia Liu.
In the future, upon seeing Xia Liu, they could only befriend him, not offend him, or the consequences would be dire.
Everyone was very interested in Xia Liu’s declaration to personally visit the Zhuang Family in a month.
On one hand, they wanted to see how Xia Liu would handle this matter.
On the other hand, they wanted to see if the Zhuang Family would fall from its second-tier top family status.
Amidst the turmoil, Xia Liu arrived in a small town not far from the boundary of Luodong City.
At that ti, he had asked for directions here and got the route to Hundred Flowers City.
These days, he had been searching for herbs to restore his soul force.
Sadly, to no avail.
Upon entering the pharmacy again, Xia Liu lifted his black robe.
Seeing the elder busy accounting, he couldn’t help but salute, "Senior, I’m back again. Thank you for guiding last ti."
"Oh, it’s young brother Xia Liu. Seeing your joyful face, things must have gone well."
"Uh? How did Senior know my na?"
Xia Liu imdiately sensed sothing amiss.
If he rembered correctly, this old fellow shouldn’t know his na.
"A while ago, your portrait was posted all over the town."
"Ha, a wanted poster by the Zhuang Family..."
