Chapter 7: The Name That Shook the Outer Gate (Part 1)

  Leaving the Wuji Pavilion, Xuantian's face wore a faint smile.

  Congenital power, leopard shadow technique, and absolute shadow swordsmanship were all deeply etched in Xuanti's mind. The only thing lacking was that he had not seen the diagrams of the Absolute Shadow Swordsmanship, and the sense of unhesitating sacrifice and solitary killing that came with it had also disappeared.

  This made Xuan Tian feel a little regretful, but the Wugui Pavilion had limited time to stay. When the time was up, he had to come out. If he wanted to enter again, he would have to wait at least three months later.

  However, he has a keen mind and although he hasn't grasped the true meaning of 'fast' from the Absolute Shadow Sword Technique's moves, his understanding of 'fast' has also benefited greatly.

  The Wind Chasing Sword Technique is also a sword technique that emphasizes speed and agility. Xuan Tian's understanding of 'fast' has improved, and his understanding of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique has reached a new height. Not only can he execute it with ease, but he feels that he can almost merge with the sword moves of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique.

  After leaving the Wuji Building, after returning the token to the elder guarding the building, Xuantian went to the outer mountain where the outer door disciples lived.

  All the way, Xuan Tian was still savoring the absolute killing swordsmanship of Jueying Sword Technique, and unknowingly, he had walked past several mountain peaks and arrived at the outer peak group.

  Just ahead was the Outer Disciple Square, Xuan Tian turned a corner and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Ahead of him on the road, over ten people stood in a line, completely blocking his path.

  Xuān Tiān narrowed his eyes, he had been pursued by the Xuán Jī sect for many years after entering the Tiān Jiàn Sect, so he was always low-key and cautious, never showing off, and didn't know many of the outer disciples of the Tiān Jiàn Sect.

  However, among the more than ten disciples in front of him, there were two whom Xuan Tian recognized.

  A man with bandages all over his body, a swollen nose and face, tall and sturdy, with a mournful expression on his face. When he saw Xuan Tian, his face was instantly filled with anger, it was Zhang Hu, who had been beaten by Xuan Tian in the dueling arena before entering the Wuji Pavilion.

  Next to Zhang Hu, there was a person who was only two or three centimeters shorter than him, but his body was very thin and looked relatively slender. A pair of triangular eyes always seemed to be shrouded in gloom.

  His name is Niu Zhigao, the son of the master of the Niu family in Beimang County, so Xuantian knows him.

  Niu Zhi Gao looked relatively slender and tall, but his strength had already reached the seventh level of martial arts, much more powerful than Zhang Hu.

  The Tianjian Sect is a sixth-grade sect, with an area of thousands of miles, where several peaks converge into one finger, and its power is vast. Only by stepping into the pre-heaven can one become an inner disciple, while the ten realms of martial arts are all outer disciples.

  Martial arts sevenfold boundary, internal strength is already very deep, can use sword energy to hurt people, in the martial arts boundary, is a master.

  Therefore, the Tianjian Sect attaches more importance to its disciples who have reached the seventh level of martial arts compared to ordinary outer sect disciples. They can provide more elixirs and have more time to listen to the outer sect elders' transmission of martial experiences.

  In the Tianjian Sect, outer sect disciples above the seventh level of martial arts thought they were superior to others. To distinguish themselves from ordinary outer sect disciples, they called themselves the elite of the outer sect disciples.

  Elite, is a hopeful existence that can enter the Innate before the age of 20 and has the potential to become an Inner Disciple.

  Among the dozen or so people in front of Xuantian, there were five elites at the seventh level of martial arts, including Niu Zhi Gao. However, Niu Zhi Gao's strength should be the strongest among the five, and all the disciples took him as their center.

  The rest also have martial arts six heavy boundaries, five heavy boundaries of cultivation.

  Zhang Long learned that his younger brother was severely beaten by Xuan Tian, and he was extremely angry in his heart. However, as one of the top three outer door disciples, he had a chance to pursue the first place in this year's outer door ranking competition, so he didn't take action himself, but instead sent some of his followers to deal with Xuan Tian.

  Zhang Long is only seventeen years old, and his cultivation has already reached the tenth level of martial arts. He is a promising figure who can enter the Xiantian realm and become an inner disciple. As an inner disciple, he can learn the mysterious stage skills and martial techniques, which are much stronger than those of outer disciples. His power is also much greater, and he can meet many people that outer disciples can only look up to.

  So, in order to get on good terms with Zhang Long in the future, many outer disciples were willing to follow him and serve him.

  Xuantian has already entered the sixth realm of martial arts, and under Huangshi's propaganda, it has been spread far and wide. Among the outer door disciples, a small wave was set off. To be on the safe side, Zhang Long sent out the elite of the seventh realm of martial arts among the outer door disciples.

  In Beimang County, the three families of Niu, Cheng and Zhang monopolized more than 70% of the county's resources and businesses. The remaining 30% of resources and businesses were also largely dependent on the power of these three families.

  The Huang family has settled in Beimo County and must develop their business, which requires a lot of silver. Only when the business grows can they afford to buy high-quality spiritual medicine to slowly heal the injuries they have suffered.

  The Huang family was originally a fifth-grade family, and in the era of the Divine Sword Dynasty, they were all giants. The ruler of the Divine Sword Dynasty, the Divine Sword Sect, was only a powerful sixth-grade sect.

  However, after the great disaster of the Huang family, nine out of ten people died, and the main vein escaped to Beimang County, where everyone was seriously injured. Even those with the highest cultivation had retreated to the third level of Xiantian.

  Especially Xuan Hong, after a series of bitter battles, the meridians in his body had long been severed, and he was only able to hold on with a mouthful of stubborn energy, protecting the Huang family's main vein and escaping with their lives. When the Huang family finally settled in Beimang County, the energy in his heart dissipated, and his entire body's meridians ruptured layer by layer, rendering him almost useless, with strength equivalent to that of a sixth-level Wudao cultivator. Even seventh-level Wudao cultivators who could release sword energy were superior to him.

  To recover from injuries, one needs miraculous medicine. To get miraculous medicine, one needs a lot of silver. To get a lot of silver, one needs to develop the family business.

  To develop the family business, it is necessary to have a direct conflict of interest with the three major families in Beimo County. The Niu, Cheng and Zhang families do not allow any force in Beimo County to divide their interests.

  So, the Huang family settled in Beilu County and had conflicts with the Niu, Cheng, and Zhang families. The Huang family's desire to expand their business also touched on the interests of the Niu, Cheng, and Zhang families, which evolved into an irreconcilable conflict.

  Unless the Huang family's strength surpasses that of the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families, and they can use force to quell the situation, otherwise, they will inevitably be squeezed out by the three families.

  The Niu, Cheng and Zhang families are all ninth-grade families, with their family heads having Xiantian Third-Order cultivation. Compared to the combined forces of the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families, the Huang family, which was a fifth-grade family in the past, now seems somewhat weaker. This is why they sent their younger disciples to various major sects within the Divine Sword Dynasty.

  The Xuan family is a second-grade family and the dominant superpower in the entire Divine State. Neither the Xuan nor the Huang families dare to pass on their inherited martial arts and techniques to their younger disciples, lest they leak out and reach the ears of the Xuan Ji, bringing about the calamity of extinction. They can only let them slowly grow up within the sect.

  Up to now, the Huang family has been rooted in Beimo County for more than three years. Through his father Xuan Hong's letter, Xuan Tian knew that the Huang family had already stood firm in Beimo County and their business was getting bigger and bigger. Now they have recruited hundreds of Jianghu people, among whom there are some pre-heavenly boundary warriors who have grudges against the Niu, Cheng, and Zhang families.

  However, as the Huang family's business grew bigger, the contradictions between them and the Niu, Cheng, and Zhang families became more and more intense, recently even reaching a boiling point, with no room for reconciliation. Therefore, Zhang Hu has been looking for trouble with Xuan Tian and Huang Shi lately.

  "No matter how difficult the family is now, we can all bear it. You must study hard and cultivate diligently in the Tianjian Sect. The Huang family wants to truly establish itself in Beimang County, relying on the efforts of you younger generations. To avenge and settle in Beimang County is just a small beginning, Tian'er, don't disappoint your father's expectations!"

  Xuan Tian thought of his father's words and suddenly felt a surge of anger towards Zhang Hu and Niu Zhi Gao in front of him.

  Xuantian was furious, Zhang Hu was even more furious. As soon as he saw Xuantian, he immediately shouted: "Huangtian has come, it's him - he's the one who beat me up like this. Niuge, you must avenge me and kill this foreign mongrel."

  "Huang Tian, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Niu Zhi Gao said lightly, although he didn't shout angrily like Zhang Hu, but his voice revealed a cold intent.

  Niu Zhi Gao is the second son of the Niu family head, and he has an older brother named Niu Zhi Qiang.

  The Niu family is the strongest in Beimang County, and it is the main heart valley of the Cheng and Zhang families. The head of the family, Niu Zhenshan, has a cultivation base of three peaks at birth, making him the number one expert in Beimang County.

  Niu Zhenshan named his two sons Niu Zhiqiang and Niu Zhi Gao, although the names were old-fashioned, but both sons made him proud.

  The second son, Niu Zhi Gao, is fifteen years old this year. He entered the sect a year earlier than Xuan Tian and had already achieved the seventh level of martial arts cultivation half a year ago. He was a talented young man with some reputation among the outer disciples.

  The eldest son, Niu Zhiqiang, is also known as the number one genius among the younger generation in Beilu County. He was admitted to another sixth-grade sect of the Shendao Wang Dynasty - the Baxi Sect, and at the age of 17, he had already entered the Xiantian stage and became an inner disciple of the Baxi Sect. It is said that his future achievements will surpass those of his father.

  Xuantian quietly gazed at the crowd, without saying a word. Their intentions were already clear in his mind, no need to ask further.

  Xuan Tian didn't say a word, and Niu Zhi Gao felt like he had punched a cotton ball, feeling extremely displeased. His voice rose by several degrees: "Huang Tian, my junior brother, when you were in the fourth realm of martial arts, you already had the strength to challenge the fifth realm. I heard that now you've entered the sixth realm. Your senior brother is not talented, but wants to have a decisive battle with you to see if you're truly a genius who can transcend levels or just an ordinary talent with a false reputation. Do... do you dare to duel me?"

  "Although Niu Shixiong has only been in the martial world for more than seven years, he has already defeated the invincible hand of the seventh level. How can he be a match for Niu Shixiong?"

  "Right, Brother Niu is indeed an elite among our outer sect disciples. Cross-level challenge? It's simply a joke! Brother Niu will beat you until you're picking your teeth off the ground!"

  "Niu Shixiong's one sword is about to defeat him, how can he compare with Niu Shixiong?"

  "With just one sword, even a single finger of Master Niu's would be enough to crush him like an ant!"

  "Right, and what about this genius who dares to challenge me? Compared to Niu Shixiong, he's just a piece of trash!"
