"Looks like there's a bit of a gap in strength compared to the Refined Qi Full Circle Martial Artist. That was already eighty percent of my power. The advanced sword technique can only be used as a trump card; with my current Spiritual Energy, if I unleash all its power, it will only be enough for one use. By then, the remaining Spiritual Energy will probably be less than twenty percent. If I can't achieve anything, it will be very dangerous."
Ren Pingsheng looked up at the figure in black not far away, uncertain of how much strength he had just used. However, he was sure it wasn't his full power; he knew that much.
"I think we should talk. I acknowledge your strength, and there's really no need for us to become enemies," the man in black said after a long silence.
"Oh, if you had said that from the beginning, I might have considered it. Unfortunately, my horse has died; it has been with me for a long time."
"It seems you are unwilling to reconcile? Although your strength is decent, you won't be my match. Why not reconsider?"
"Heh, although your strength may be greater than mine, you can't do anything to me. I've seen your abilities; let's part ways here."
"Thinking you can leave so confidently? Stay with me! Duan Yue Zhan!" Seeing Ren Pingsheng retreating, the man in black seemed provoked. He lunged forward swiftly, slashing horizontally with his sword, quick and fierce.
"The power is indeed impressive, but do you think that was all I had?" Ren Pingsheng realized the opponent was using all his strength. This earth attribute High-Level Sword Technique was more than twice as strong as before. Without any hesitation, he struck back.
A series of whirlwinds gathered into a massive Wind Dragon, tearing apart everything in the Surroundings, as if it aimed to destroy heaven and earth, its might unparalleled.
"Although this is only eighty percent of my power, it should be enough. If I weren't worried about any unforeseen circumstances and unleashed my full strength, it would definitely be enough to make him drink from the cup of defeat. It might even seriously injure him unexpectedly." Unfortunately, Ren Pingsheng didn't dare to gamble with his life. In this situation, it wasn't worth risking everything.
"Heh, I told you that you can't keep me here. Don't worry; I'll come back to Yunxi City. I'll find you then; my horse can't die for nothing. You all take care!" Ren Pingsheng chuckled lightly and vanished in a few flashes, appearing a hundred feet away.
When the man in black emerged from the impact of their clash, Ren Pingsheng's figure had already disappeared into the horizon, impossible to pursue. Only these words lingered in the wind for a long time.
"Provoking someone like this will surely lead to big trouble later on. I’ve said before not to create unnecessary complications; those old fellows just won’t listen!" The man in black sighed somewhat and muttered in dissatisfaction before disappearing as well.
"It seems I was overthinking; he really has left." An hour later, the vanished man in black reappeared. He glanced around at the Surroundings and shook his head. His figure disappeared again, this time truly leaving.
About an hour later, a figure appeared at the site of the recent Battle, which was none other than Ren Pingsheng, who had left earlier.
"Alas, what a pity for this Black Demon Horse; I can't just leave you to rot in the wilderness. You can rest easy now; I will avenge you." Ren Pingsheng sighed softly as he buried the corpse of the Black Demon Horse, which had been split in two.
"Without the Black Demon Horse, it will take me at least half a month to return to the sect on foot. It seems I need to find a city to buy a horse. Even the most ordinary horse would be more convenient and faster than traveling on foot."
"If it takes a little more time, so be it! After all, it's all about cultivation anyway. I just hope nothing else happens next. I really don't want to be chased for no reason." Ren Pingsheng chuckled wryly, feeling somewhat helpless, before setting off again.
He had some guesses about this assassination attempt. The family from Yunxi City was after him likely because he had spent some time with the Qian Family and had gotten too close to them. This must have provoked those hostile forces into seeking revenge.
From this perspective, it seemed that the first family of Yunxi City, the Qian Family, must also be facing some issues and not living too well. Otherwise, those hostile forces wouldn't be so bold as to chase him down.
However, Ren Pingsheng was not particularly interested in these matters. In his view, even if the Qian Family had problems, they were not something he could resolve. Although he was not afraid of a Refined Qi Full Circle Martial Artist, winning against them would not be easy; he feared that he would ultimately pay a heavy price.
"The Qian Family became the first family in Yunxi City for a reason; it can't be that simple. Even if they face some issues, with their own foundation, overcoming difficulties shouldn't be a problem." Ren Pingsheng understood this clearly; strength was always the most important thing—everything else was just superficial.
A day later, Ren Pingsheng bought a very ordinary horse in a small town. He wanted to buy something better, but unfortunately, this small town only sold regular horses.
In the following days, Ren Pingsheng rode on his horse while cultivating. Whenever he felt tired, he would find a random place to rest and continue his journey once he was refreshed.
During this time, he returned to Panshan Town and officially entered the territory of Azure Wind Sword Sect. He curiously explored the town and found that Panshan Town was quite peaceful; those bandits had not come back to disturb it. Everything seemed so calm and serene that he no longer had anything to worry about.
Ren Pingsheng traveled through wind and rain for half a month before finally arriving at the foot of Canglan Mountain. Seeing the towering Canglan Mountain made him feel a mix of emotions.
This experience lasted a total of eighty days. Nearly three months was quite a long time. It’s worth noting that he had only been in Azure Wind Sword Sect for eleven months; for someone his age, it felt slightly prolonged.
"But time flies; it's almost been a year since I came to Azure Wind Sword Sect. I wonder how Father and the others are doing? It seems that once I become an Elite Disciple, I should take some time to go back and check on them." After all this talk, he was still just a fourteen-year-old boy. In an ordinary family, he would still be considered a child who hadn't fully grown up.
"I also wonder how those Little Ones have been during this time." Now that he had just arrived here, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but smile slightly as he thought about them before stepping onto the mountain path.
Watching the young people of similar age passing by him occasionally gave him a sense of familiarity that he hadn't felt in a while. Being away from home for so long made him miss his sect somewhat. Here at least, he didn't have to live in constant fear every day; life felt much easier.
In the library on the first floor, Ren Pingsheng looked at the Elder in Charge of the Library, who was sound asleep with his head resting on the table, feeling somewhat helpless. It was strange how this person always came in to sleep.
"Hey, wake up! There's a fire!" he shouted while banging on the table.
"A... fire? Where's the fire?" The Elder in Charge of the Library lifted his head, looking confused and still half-asleep.
"There's a fire under your butt! Hurry up and move!"
"Ah! How come I didn't see it?" He quickly stood up, mumbling in confusion. He still looked like he hadn't fully woken up.
"Haha, just kidding." Ren Pingsheng laughed heartily at the sight. He didn't expect this old man to be so amusing.
"You little brat, how dare you trick me! You're even more annoying than that kid named Ren Pingsheng before. Wait... am I seeing things? You're back?" The Elder in Charge of the Library, who had initially looked angry, rubbed his eyes in disbelief upon recognizing the visitor.
"What? You don't want me back?" Ren Pingsheng asked with an unhappy expression.
"Of course not! But why do you have to disturb my sleep as soon as you return? It's a bad habit you can't seem to shake off."
"Ah, you really don't appreciate good intentions. I just came back from outside and wanted to find you to let you taste some fine wine I got. Since you don't want it, then forget it."
"Wait... no! I was just joking! I was just excited because you haven't been back for so long." The Elder in Charge of the Library immediately smiled and leaned closer.
"Really? Then I guess I wronged you."
"Of course you wronged me. By the way, what kind of fine wine did you get? It better not be some cheap stuff."
"This is something good I got from Yunxi City. Take a guess!" Ren Pingsheng said with a mysterious smile.
"Yunxi City? Could it be Yunxi Wine? That stuff is rare; a lot of it gets taken away every year, both openly and secretly. Very little actually makes it out. No way! Could it really be..." Seeing Ren Pingsheng's beaming smile, the Elder in Charge of the Library looked astonished and excited.
"Indeed, it's Yunxi Wine. I'll let you have it this time; I went through a lot of trouble to get it." He took out a bottle of wine and shook it.
"Hey, be careful, don't let it slip. This is a good thing, something hard to come by." He snatched it away in one swift motion, leaving Ren Pingsheng no time to react.
"You... never mind, it was meant for you anyway. I didn't expect your old skills to be quite impressive. Who would have thought that sleeping all day could lead to such remarkable abilities?" Ren Pingsheng smacked his lips, looking somewhat confused.
"Hmph, what do you know? I was cultivating. Only someone like you, who understands nothing, would think I was just sleeping." Elder in Charge of the Library said with a look of indulgence, softly rebutting.
"Are you sure you're not joking? Can you really cultivate like that?" He clearly seemed skeptical.
"This Eastern Region Nine Provinces is vast; there are all kinds of techniques. You know too little. When you go out in the future, you'll understand. Since you're so sincere, I'll give you this Sword Technique." He rummaged around behind him for a while and pulled out a somewhat yellowed manual.
"What is this?" Ren Pingsheng took it and looked it over but couldn't figure out what kind of Sword Technique it was.
"Hehe, this is a manual I obtained when I was young. I've studied it for decades and still haven't figured it out. However, I believe it must hide great secrets. If you're lucky enough to understand it in the future, you'll definitely benefit greatly."
"Is that so? Then I'll take your word for it and keep it for now!" Although he wasn't sure if what the other person said was true or not, he accepted it anyway.
"By the way, here's some news for you. A Zheng Long, an Inner Sect Disciple, has been looking for you. You should be careful. If there's nothing else, you can leave now." Elder in Charge of the Library lay back in his chair with a satisfied expression, showing no signs of wanting to continue talking.
"That Inner Sect ranking Sixth Inner Sect Disciple is actually looking for me; interesting! Considering what happened last time, they don't want to let things go easily!" As he turned to leave, Ren Pingsheng murmured with interest.
