"I found it! This is the Lonely Star Sunlight Sword Technique. This was the clan's ultimate skill of the Lin Family of Lincheng!" At this moment, Qin Ying approached Xing Chen with a smile, holding a Martial Arts manual.
"The Lin Family?" Xing Chen was slightly taken aback, his gaze shifting to the Martial Arts manual in Qin Ying's hands.
"Yes, that's right. The Lin Family was at its peak five years ago. However, the head of the Lin Family refused to submit to my Azure Cloud Gang, so we eventually exterminated them," Qin Ying nodded and continued, "And this Lonely Star Sun Blade is the Lin Family's ultimate skill. Its power is comparable to your junior brother's Ninefold Thunder Palm."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Xing Chen expressed his gratitude to Qin Ying, then asked without hesitation, "Senior Brother, do you have any good swords?"
"Oh dear, look at me! I was so focused on finding you sword techniques that I forgot to find you a powerful sword," Qin Ying slapped his forehead and then thought for a moment before saying, "Junior Brother, come with me. I do have a sword that is perfect for executing the Lonely Star Sunlight Sword Technique." Xing Chen's expression changed slightly as he followed Qin Ying to his residence.
"Hey, Junior Brother, this is the sword that belonged to the head of the Lin Family, Lin Hongyu, the Lonely Star Sword," Qin Ying explained while holding out a sword to Xing Chen. "Don't underestimate this sword; it's not an ordinary weapon but one that has reached the peak of human-level weapons and can merge with its wielder."
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother." Xing Chen's eyes flickered slightly. He knew how precious a peak human-level weapon was; they were extremely rare. In the entire Sun Kingdom, there were at most a few dozen human-level weapons, and those that reached the peak were even fewer.
"Hehe, no need to be polite, Junior Brother." Qin Ying waved his hand with a smile.
"Alright then, Senior Brother, I'll take my leave." After saying this, Xing Chen took the Lonely Star Sword and left.
"Lonely Star Sword..." As Xing Chen looked at the sword in his hand, he couldn't help but gently stroke it. "Lone Star Sun Sword Technique, the light of the lone star eclipses the sun..."
"Lone Star Sun Sword Technique, Killer Lone Star, swish..." The sword was drawn from its sheath, and a cold light flashed in the air. The surrounding air suddenly froze as if time had stopped at that moment. Then, Xing Chen sheathed the Lonely Star Sword, gazing at its blade that seemed embedded with countless stars. He couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly before turning to leave. As he did so, a tree as thick as a person's waist fell with a loud crash behind him, but Xing Chen seemed oblivious and continued walking forward.
"Junior Brother..." Just as Xing Chen was about to return to his residence, he heard Qin Ying's voice from behind him.
Xing Chen paused and turned around to look at Qin Ying, asking with some confusion, "Is there something you need, Senior Brother?"
"Quick, follow me to the main hall. The Master just sent someone to inform us to hurry and meet him," Qin Ying said, panting.
Xing Chen's expression changed slightly. Yun Qing would never seek them out under normal circumstances, so there were only two possibilities for this: either there was something important to announce, or the Azure Cloud Gang was in trouble.
"Then let's go quickly!" Xing Chen said as he headed towards the Azure Cloud Gang Council Hall, but behind him came Qin Ying's voice: "Junior Brother, wait for me!"
...
In the Azure Cloud Gang Council Hall, Yun Qing sat at the head position, but his face was somewhat gloomy, and the hall was filled with a stifling atmosphere.
"Leader, how dare the Eastern Sun Gang act like this? I suggest we take immediate action to destroy the Eastern Sun Gang," someone below said angrily. This person was Lin Luori, the Hall Master of the Setting Sun Hall within the Azure Cloud Gang's Three Halls and Nine Branches.
"Leader, Lin is right. If we don't take action this time, our Azure Cloud Gang will surely become a laughingstock," another person stood up and said with a similarly grim expression. At this moment, Qin Ying and Xing Chen arrived here. While Xing Chen remained calm, Qin Ying's heart surged with waves of turmoil. All those present were Hall Masters and Helmsmen of the Three Halls and Nine Branches; what could have happened to gather all these people together?
"Master!" Xing Chen called out as they approached Yun Qing, then stood on either side of him.
"This matter with the Eastern Sun Gang cannot be left unresolved. However, the most important issue right now is that our Azure Cloud Gang has lost two Helmsmen. Who will take on this role now?" Yun Qing nodded at Xing Chen and Qin Ying before glancing at everyone below and speaking calmly.
"Leader, we can select a Helmsman from among the elite disciples," a Hall Master stood up respectfully and said. This person was He Mie, the Hall Master of Sunset Hall in the Azure Cloud Gang.
"What Hall Master He says makes sense; indeed, elite disciples have the strength to serve as Helmsmen. However, they are not suitable for handling gang affairs," Yun Qing pondered for a moment before responding.
"What does the Leader mean?" He Mie asked in confusion, while others looked at Yun Qing with similar curiosity.
"Choose from among the ordinary disciples. In half a month, gather all disciples at Headquarters. Regardless of their status or identity, as long as they can stand out among their peers, they can become Helmsmen. Remember to inform the disciples below when you return," Yun Qing said casually with narrowed eyes.
The crowd exchanged glances, and soon everyone turned their attention to Yun Qing's side, where Xing Chen stood. They all suddenly realized that the leader intended for his two Closed-Door Disciples to take on the role of Helmsman. The reason for scheduling the selection of the Helmsman two weeks later was naturally because one of the leader's disciples was not yet strong enough.
"Yes, Leader!" Understanding this, everyone responded in unison.
"Alright, you can go back now!" Yun Qing waved his hand at the crowd. Although he was eager to march directly to Dongyang City, he could not act impulsively for the sake of future plans.
"Chen Er, Eagle, you must secure the two Helmsman positions in two weeks." After the others had left, Yun Qing focused his gaze on his two disciples.
"Yes, Master." The two understood the situation; two Helmsmen from Azure Cloud Gang had been killed by members of Eastern Sun Gang.
"Well, I'm not worried about you, Eagle. The key is you, Chen Er. Although you are currently at Refining Body Ninth Level, you still have some distance to cover before reaching Soul Refinement Realm." At this point, Yun Qing looked at Xing Chen and slowly asked, "Chen Er, do you have confidence in reaching Soul Refinement Realm in half a month?"
"Ten." Xing Chen met Yun Qing's gaze. Although he had no real confidence in breaking through to Soul Refinement Realm, he did not want to lose face in front of Yun Qing.
"Good, as expected of my disciple Yun Qing. You have spirit." Hearing Xing Chen's response brought a smile to Yun Qing's face. "Here is a Nourishing Soul Pill; it will help you break through to Soul Refinement Realm." Yun Qing took out a jade bottle.
"Thank you, Master." Xing Chen accepted the jade bottle with a flicker of his eyes and left with Qin Ying.
"Hmph, Eastern Sun Gang. If it weren't for an ancestor supporting them, I would have wiped them out long ago." After Xing Chen and Qin Ying left, a murderous intent lingered in Yun Qing's eyes as his expression darkened again.
"Senior Brother, isn't Eastern Sun Gang barely surviving under our Azure Cloud Gang? How dare they still kill our Helmsmen?" Xing Chen looked at Qin Ying with some confusion.
"That's due to the merits accumulated by Eastern Sun Gang's ancestors!" Qin Ying sighed and began to explain: "The previous leader of Eastern Sun Gang, Xu Shuo, was an incredibly powerful figure. Decades ago, Xu Shuo challenged the leaders of various forces in Sun Kingdom alone and defeated them all without exception. Eventually, he boldly challenged the emperor at that time and fought a fierce battle against Huang. In the end, Huang narrowly won with one move. From that moment on, Xu Shuo's reputation spread throughout Sun Kingdom and even across the entire Eastern Region; few people were unaware of him."
"I see." Xing Chen nodded, finally understanding why Eastern Sun Gang could continue to survive under Azure Cloud Gang's dominance and occasionally retaliate; it was because they had a well-known ancestor. Moreover, Yun Qing refrained from completely annihilating Eastern Sun Gang due to concerns about Xu Shuo.
"Yes, if it weren't for this, how could the Eastern Sun Gang possibly compete with my Azure Cloud Gang?" Qin Ying's voice carried a hint of reluctance, clearly indicating that he had long wanted to eliminate the Eastern Sun Gang.
"Senior Brother, I'll head back now. Let's meet again in half a month!" After chatting for a while longer, the two returned to their respective residences.
"Huh? Refining Body Ninth Level?" Upon returning home, Xing Chen was somewhat surprised to glance at Luo Tong. The fact that Luo Tong had reached Refining Body Ninth Level astonished Xing Chen; it seemed that Luo Tong's talent was indeed exceptional.
"Young Master Chen..." Seeing Xing Chen, Luo Tong quickly greeted him respectfully and then stood quietly.
"Luo Tong, in half a month, there will be a competition among the disciples of the gang. If you can stand out, you can become the Helmsman of Azure Cloud Gang," Xing Chen said thoughtfully. Of course, he did not mention this out of kindness towards Luo Tong; rather, he knew that by doing so, Luo Tong would definitely train hard. As Luo Tong pushed himself to train, Xing Chen would naturally feel the pressure, which would accelerate his own training speed.
Another reason was that if Luo Tong fell too far behind, it would be difficult for Xing Chen to find someone to practice with. After all, if Luo Tong's strength was too low, he wouldn't be able to serve as a suitable training partner.
"I... I can participate too?" Luo Tong asked excitedly.
"Yes, regardless of identity or status, as long as you are a disciple of Azure Cloud Gang, you can participate," Xing Chen nodded and then entered the house, leaving an excited Luo Tong behind.
If at that moment Luo Tong knew what was on Xing Chen's mind, he certainly wouldn't be so excited. If he understood Xing Chen's true thoughts, he would surely compete fiercely with him.
