Chapter 1892: Chapter 323: Yuanzhou Valiant Riders

The flood dragon emerges from the sea, the vicious shark devours men.

You never need to expect the Xu Clan disciples to stand by in strict readiness like real soldiers.

The elite cavalry warriors who have long been lurking in the area charge out from the surface of the sea, like a swarm of piranhas.

The four-clawed, single-horned flood dragon, the winged shark monster, the fish-bodied and snake-headed Ran Yi, the Red Scaled Fish with a human face...

All sorts of rare and mythical beasts carry elite cavalry warriors toward the sky. As soon as they leap from the sea, the crisscrossing sword energy tears the firmament into pieces.

This lightning-quick surprise attack directly disrupts the Fire Department’s orchestrated assault, and then it’s a close-quarters combat.

The elite cavalry warriors seated atop the mythical beasts wield specially made long swords, with hilts as long as ten feet, and even longer and exaggeratedly wide blades, with serrated edges that are human lethality incarnate. Not to mention the extraordinarily robust monster mounts they command.

In recent years, through the resources bestowed by the Fire Department, the Wu Family could indeed be called elite, though the whole strength comparison depends on whom they face.

Compared to most families in Xiehe, the Wu Family is elite;

Compared to the outer sect disciples of the lower sects, the Wu Family is elite;

But when compared to one of the Xu Clan’s three armies, the elite cavalry, the Wu Family is just feeble.

The battalions separated by sword light seem to forget how to fight, since they’ve never faced true elite forces before.

Seeing the elite of the Wu Family heavily injured, Wu Lan even forgets the pain of the lightning strike, shouting in anguish, "Stop! Stop immediately, we are the patrol of the Fire Department. Do you not recognize the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel of the Fire Department?"

To Wu Lan, the Divine Sword of Yuanzhou was once the patrol of the Fire Department, and the King Patrol should have had some favor with the Xu Clan, hoping this would halt the elite cavalry.

Yet mentioning the Fire Department only makes things worse; the elite cavalry’s attacks become more frenzied, and the casualties soar.

More than a dozen elite cavalry warriors riding flood dragons charge directly at the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel, and the sword intent continuously converges in mid-air, nearly shattering his martial perception.

Weren’t all the sacred places supposed to be in solidarity, how could this happen!?

Wu Lan’s mouth opens wide in shock, lost, as someone appears before him.

"Using the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel to bully people, what sort of thing do you think you are..."

The blade light so fast that it couldn’t be reacted to, cutting through the chest wound causing a flower of blood.

So quick....

Wu Lan could see only the departing form of the Pig Dragon after the strike and hear that disdainful voice lingering in his ears.

Is this the Xu Clan’s elite cavalry...?

The body uncontrollably falls into the Endless Sea Region, the sword energy continually tearing through the meridians.

And yet Wu Lan feels only fortunate, because if the elite cavalry had intended to kill just now, that horizontal slash could have cut him in half.

...

From the elite cavalry’s surprise attack out of the sea on the Fire Department, to the Wu Family elite dropping into the sea like dumplings, the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel pierced by over a dozen sword energies, bitten and sunk by dragons, all in just a few dozen breaths.

During this period, the sword poised in front of him, Yang Fan could only hear the "whoosh" of sword energy and the roars of rare giant beasts.

Whether from overwhelming fear or confusion, Yang Fan remained frozen on the water column from beginning to end, maintaining that posture unchanged.

Until all of the Fire Department’s elite fell into the water and the Divine Vessel, a symbol of King Patrol’s dignity, shattered and sunk into silence, he finally saw clearly: this earth-shattering surprise attack had just a hundred warriors and a hundred beasts.

...

Unparalleled Academy, Dean’s Office

"The result turned out well."

Tang Luo waved away the mirror image, smiling at Mi Bai and said, "Since the elite cavalry appeared, it means Yang Fan has passed the Sword Pavilion’s test in Ying City. He can learn Xiehe’s top swordsmanship, which for him should be the greatest joy!"

Mi Bai didn’t answer, or rather he didn’t know how to answer.

In his understanding, the King Patrol and the Fire Department already represented Xiehe’s top forces, harboring the most formidable warriors.

Yet over a hundred elite cavalry emerged from the sea and sank both the Fire Department’s elite and the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel together, such shock is beyond another’s comprehension.

Just like when Tang Luo years ago saw the Falling Star Army’s Yuanchun, he’d naturally think of what threat such a person forming an army would bring to Xiling.

When Mi Bai was a mere scholar, he would not have considered such things, but now as the president of Unparalleled City’s municipal government, he must think about these things.

This, is growth.

"Take these documents back and award the directors of each academy accordingly."

Tang Luo pushed the stacked documents towards Mi Bai, hinting, "You just see to making Unparalleled City a better place to live, leave the fighting and warfare to the Academy."

...

Dragon Continent Calendar Year 1796, September 1st

The admissions in Lingjiang’s Central Region conclude, and the inner city’s opening ceremony officially commences.

The lively atmosphere within the inner city is naturally unknown to outsiders, but anyone with eyes can see that the rise of Lingjiang’s Central Region cannot be stopped.

For in the brief span of half a month, over a dozen sects have consecutively set up branches here, and posted recruitment signs.

To those young people who rushed to Xiling yet missed the chance to enroll in Unparalleled Academy, this is great fortune.

After all, enrolling in an academy hardly provides the assurance of joining a sect.

Thus, despite passing Unparalleled Academy’s admissions, Xiling City remains bustling.

Especially after several Daoist Priests from the Xuanji Sect arrived in Xiling’s South City, Xiling’s renown surged.

Previously, nobles and sects wishing to purchase Xuanji Jade had to travel millions of miles to Beimang, and whether they gained entrance depended on the goodwill of the Daoist Priests, and the reception by temple boys.

But now, one can simply go to Western Longzhou to find Xuanji Sect’s store and place an order; this small step for the Beimang kingpin is a giant leap for many noble families.

Families caught wind of this frantically dispatched envoys, carrying extensive resources to Xiling, eagerly awaiting the completion of stores with Xuanji Sect signage.

But when the Daoist Priests finally opened the doors, these families were astonished to find it offered none of the strategic resources they wanted.

Instead, there were only items of little use, causing major disappointment among noble representatives, with some persistently questioning the Daoist Priests from Dayuan Peak if orders could be placed from here, then being unceremoniously thrown out.

This lively situation manifested in various admissions offices and marketplaces throughout Xiling.

Although Xiling City still carried a faint smell of decay from its recent origins, anyone arriving there could see the city’s burgeoning vitality.

Many insightful families wish to stay here, yet regardless of the avenues explored, all are rejected by the family council.

"Why won’t you let us stay, clearly there’s so much unused, barren land north of Lingjiang!"

These families, believing they could improve Xiling, voiced their disagreement with the council members.

"The land in North City is reserved for the main families of Xiling."

The council members said calmly, shutting everyone’s mouth with that single sentence.
