Chapter 424: Travelling alone

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The common people path disciples gathered north of the vast habitat.

At this moment, hundreds of people were gathered up here, waiting quietly. The talents from the 3 sects and 6 schools with Xie An Luoshi etc at the helm were all so bored they were counting the number of ants there were on the ground.

Not far away, one person waited. It was a 30 over year old middle-aged man who stood with folded arms. The corner of his eyes was cramping up.

Hanfang just stood quietly at the side as he looked up in the sky, looking right at that blazing sun. However, he didn’t find it blinding. The people here all didn’t seem to notice his presence. No one looked over in his direction.

It was already late afternoon when finally there was some movement at the palace. Only to see an extremely luxurious carriage dragged by 12 dragon horned winged horses leisure driving over from the palace. The one driving was Zong Yuan.

At this moment the hundreds of people were in an uproar. The eyes of that white shirt middle-aged man were burning.

He originally wanted to immediately rage but he seemed to have heard something in his ear. A moment after hearing that he decided to bear with it and not speak.

A thick look of worry appeared on his face, thinking that was it okay for the person on the carriage to lead so many disciples?

Would they all fall at the Yan City pass? He was clear about the skill of that Yuan Jiuchen. It was already dangerous for this bunch of disciples to head over, now they had such an unreliable fellow at the helm.

100% chance of winning, before they even got there they probably had a 70% chance of losing.

The disciples within the formation were in deep discussions.

“Is it that Tanqiu within the carriage? Common people path main sect, that new 3rd generation core disciple?”

“This person is a little too arrogant! Daring to sit a carriage over, isn’t he afraid of the teachers scolding?”

“Scoff! With his identity who in the palace can care about him? However, this fellow wouldn’t be thinking about sitting it over to Yan City Pass right?”

“Tsk, he is too cool!”

“I don’t know what to say about this person! For the sect to allow this, I don’t know if it is a blessing or a curse…”

Hanfang’s eyelids were twitching, rubbing his temples to ease his headache.

Rumors had it that this Gantian Monster king didn’t abide by the rule of facing troubles and hardships together with the soldiers. Whenever they went to war he would comfortably watch on from his large carriage.

It seems like he was prepared to do the same in the common people’s path.

After the carriage arrived, Zong Shou walked off the carriage. His expression was green and white and shuddering. Like a wind blow would cause him to fall.

However he forcefully held on, respectfully bowing towards that middle-aged man, “Greetings mister! Don’t blame me for coming late this time. I was rushing to breakthrough, which is why my body isn’t in good condition. I can only use the carriage. Mister, please don’t be annoyed!”

This person’s identity was several times smaller than his, Zong Shou didn’t know how he should call him so he just decided on mister.

Since this common people path palace was the main hall of the common people path and a learning environment, there were professors, priests, teachers, similar to the imperial college of the central dynasty.

This person took up the role of a professor within the common people path palace.

When the white shirt middle-aged man heard that, his anger dissipated. However, he still used his spiritual sense to take a look, following which his face was filled with a weird expression, unable to tell whether or not Zong Shou had injuries or not.

He moved to the side to avoid his bow, following which he said coldly, “How can disciple accept the bow from a great great senior master? Since you have a reason for coming late, you just have to explain. Now that everyone has gathered, what does great great senior master have to say?”

Zong Shou smiled and looked around. Then, His eyes were filled with shock.

This time the common people path selected close to hundred disciples from the main sect, the 3 sects, and 6 schools. Their strength was all extraordinary. None of them were lower than grade 6. There were elites like Xuanye who had already entered grade 7.

However, all these people were mostly standing relaxed. Each of them had different personalities and were all prideful. With just one look her knew that they wouldn’t get along.

What shocked him was that the other portion of roughly 400 people all had a certain age and were riding grade 4 silver scale wind stepping beasts. Looking at their auras, they were all Xuanwu realm experts.

Inside there were 20 spirit masters who looked solemn. Even with the loud commotion that Zong Shou caused they weren’t fazed, they also didn’t start any discussions with one another.

Were these the dao soldiers of the common people path?

Rumors had it that each sect, those who were slightly stronger would have the habit of keeping dao soldiers.

Their talents were often average or slightly above. From birth, they received the kindness and nurturing of the sect. Their families were also taken care of by the sect which was why they were mostly loyal.

Although they didn’t have as bright futures as those hundreds of common people path talents to be able to search for the path of their own lives, these people were all pillars that the sect needed.

Although the 400 people were wearing the same armor, the markings were slightly different. Within the surface patterns on the cavalry, armor hid the symbols of the various sects.

Amongst which there were 150 people from the common people path main hall. The 3 sects had 125 and the other 6 schools had 125.

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up and he felt envious. So this was the strength of a large sect. For a small Yan City Pass general, they could take out 400 grade 6 level dao soldiers!

If he had such powers in his hand, it was enough for him to be invincible in Donglin Cloud Continent.

The common people path mysterious dragon warriors were a strong dao force that destroyed the blood cloud cavalry in the past.

Even with only just 300 people, he wouldn’t need to put Lingyun Sect in his eyes.

Greedily looking at these people, following which when the white shirt middle-aged man coughed lightly. Zong Shou finally came back to his senses, smiling awkwardly as he turned his gaze back to those elite disciples.

Only to see that most of them were filled with unhappiness, many of them even blinking with provocative gazes.

People like that Yongqin even had a mocking expression, eagerly anticipating what was about to happen.

Probably the moment he spoke someone would jump out and make things awkward for him.

Zong Shou thought about it and gave up on speaking as he cupped his fists towards that white shirt middle-aged man, “Tanqiu has nothing to say. I will try my best for this trip. I won’t let the sect down!”

The middle-aged man was startled and slightly nodded, “That’s good. It isn’t early anymore, I will send all of you out!”

When he said that, a silver lid appeared in that white shirt middle-aged man’s hand. He threw it above, only to see it suddenly expand and turning thousands of feet wide, covering all the people here as well as Zong Shou’s carriage.

In the next moment, there were no more signs of everyone. Only Hanfang alone was left, he rubbed his head, sighing out.

“…Junior brother junior brother. This time I fully listened to you. If any accidents happen this time or we lost too many disciples, both you and I are sinners of the sect. I, Hanfang, will go all out against you. This junior brother Zong Shou is good at everything, his talent is also top class. Only the way he does things is always so surprising, I really can’t see through him…”

He thought back to those 7 saint fire silver ants only then did his expression relax. With that heaven and earth variant there, at least he would be able to retreat safely.

※※※※

After that white shirt middle-aged man sent them out of the common people path vast habitat. There were no more signs of him.

Zong Shou was slightly shocked. There were so many elite disciples of the sect. Losing 1 or 2 of them would be enough for a sect to be heart pained for a long time. They were able to be so relaxed about it and not bother.

Sending his spiritual senses all about, he didn’t sense anyone was silently following. Naturally, it could be because his strength wasn’t enough and he didn’t manage to sense them.

He looked above to try and deduce the place they were at using the sun.

Following which his pupils constricted. They were at a piece of land west of the central continent. So the place where the common people path vast habitat was located was here.

Nearby this area was a piece of wilderness with no one around. However, Zong Shou could feel that 20 miles away there was a wide road that had carriages traveling on it. There also seemed to be many people who walked on it.

He couldn’t help but mock. He always thought that the entrance to the 5 vast habitats was in the deep mountains or secluded wilderness, who knew that it was in such a place densely populated with people.

A moment later the 500 over people all slowly adapted from the dizziness of the space teleportation.

Following which the many elite disciples and 400 dao soldiers all focused their gazes on him.

Not long later 3 people walked out from within. The 2 others were unfamiliar faces who should be that Xie An and Luoshi.

Zong Shou had heard about news regarding the 2 of them recently, he could roughly recognize them. The one that looked personable like that of a prince was Luoshi. The one with a squarish face with a little bit of violent aura was Xie An.

There was also one more person who walked over. This should be the commander of the dao soldiers. He was 40 years old and wore red armor. He was expressionless as he walked forwards and stood beside Zong Shou.

Just that action showed that he would follow his orders. Their distance wasn’t very close, revealing a lack of trust and unfamiliarity.

After that Luoshi walked close, he smiled as he asked, “Great great senior master, you are the leader for today’s matter. What should we do?”

Xuanye and Xie An were expressionless as they waited for Zong Shou to reply.

Zong Shou glanced over at Luoshi, this fellow missed out on one great word. When he returned he was going to complain that he was disrespectful.

Not bothering about him, he looked at the side towards the dao soldier commander, “Who are you? What is your role within the sect?”

The many elite disciples were all listening intently. After they heard that they nearly collapsed to the ground.

So this great great great senior master Tan didn’t even know who his subordinate was.

Even the faces of those hundreds of cavalry turned green.

That dao soldier commander didn’t have much of an expression as he raised his hand politely, “I am common people path main hall 7th generation inner disciple Xuan Shu, I am now the commander of the common people path mysterious dragon warrior xuan 7th unit…”
