Chapter 511: Taking In Disciples

The brown-robed man finally reacted and shouted sternly, “Everyone, kill this wrench!”

30 to 40 people immediately rushed out from the crowd at the side of the lake. They were obviously led by the brown-robed man.

Yan Yumo came back to her senses. She was unaware of how Xiangnu had become so formidable, but there were dozens of people coming for her. She knew that Xiangnu could not beat them no matter how impressive she was, so she promptly shouted, “These people are just making use of our help to attack the rock door at the bottom of the lake! They won’t allow us to leave. Wait until he kills us! No one will be able to escape, let alone get a share…”

Yan Yumo wanted everyone to attack together at first and believed that they were not the only ones who could see that the brown-robed guy wanted to make use of them. However, she was too naive. The other people, who saw the conflict, indeed came together and did not charge forth to attack the group with the brown-robed man from all sides. Instead, they flocked out of this place.

Although there were many people with the brown-robed man, they would not be able to stop so many people from escaping together.

This made the brown-robed man let out his frantic fury on Xiangnu and the other two. He roared furiously, “Chop them up into minced meat!”

Di Xiangnu had long forgotten that she was no match for these people. She had to retaliate if they wanted to kill her. This was what grandfather had said.

She had learned her skills, which were all related to battle experience, from Ah Xi and Yan Yumo. She knew better than anyone else the importance of the aura in a battle.

Before the group of people could rush forth, she swept her scimitar out again. The scimitar turned into two blade flares that cut at the two people who were at the front.

“Pfft! Pfft!” Two trails of blood sprayed out. The two men did not have any chance to resist Xiangnu’s scimitar before they were killed immediately.

Xiangnu was stunned. What was going on?

“Pfft!” At that moment, a saber flare cut her shoulder, leaving a stream of blood.

Di Jiu sighed. He had let Xiangnu get injured on purpose. How could she be stunned during such a battle? No matter what bizarre things happened, she had to kill all of her opponents before wondering why.

Only with a lesson that involved blood could Xiangnu remember this deeply. Her ability was a field approach. However, such an approach was extremely fierce.

Yan Yumo hurriedly drew her scimitar and charged forth upon seeing Xiangnu get injured. Ah Xi, who was lying on the ground, wanted to struggle to get up and help but he was too seriously-injured and could not get up at all.

Xiangnu woke up from that saber injury. It was not time for her to be stunned. Thus, she started continuously striking with her scimitar.

The saber flare in almost every move of hers could collect a life if it struck her opponent. She ultimately did not need to approach her opponent so she struck from far. Every neat move could collect a life.

In mere dozens of breaths, she killed over 20 people. Meanwhile, the remaining people could not even come near.

The brown-robed man who led them looked at Xiangnu in fear. He was certain that her cultivation level had already attained the Foundation Establishment Realm and she was a late-stage foundational expert. Otherwise, how could she be so impressive?

Why had such an expert come to a desolate place like the Harsh Spring Forest? Why was she even friends with two weaklings?

He had to hurry and leave. If he continued staying here, he would die before he knew it.

A saber flare then struck down the space between his eyebrows. An ice-cold aura made him feel somewhat panic-stricken. He subconsciously covered the area between his eyebrows, but blood still erupted.

After the brown-robed man collapsed, the others were terrified. Those who’d crawled out of the lake saw the devastating situation and rushed out one after another without any questions.

Many of the people who were seriously injured had been chased by the brown-robed man into the lake and forced to attack that rock door with all their might. They were not idiots. How could they not know that he’d used their lives? However, there were too many people by his side so they did not dare to resist. They would be fools if they did not escape when they had the chance.

“Xiangnu, how come you’re so impressive?” When everyone was completely gone, Yan Yumo took a look at all the corpses on the ground as she stared blankly at Di Xiangnu.

Di Xiangnu looked at the field of corpses blankly and then down at the scimitar in her hands. She mumbled to herself, “I don’t know either. Grandfather said that if anyone wanted to kill me, I would have to retaliate…”

“Grandfather?” Yan Yumo frowned. “You mean the Ning Family…”

She had a lot of doubts. She and Ah Xi were aware of Xiangnu’s background. She had been abandoned in a smelly ditch by the Ning Family. They had clearly wanted a 17-year-old young lady to drown. Back then, they had not known that she was a member of the Ning Family so they had saved her. After discovering that she had been abandoned by the Ning Family later on, they had not dared remain in their original place. Thus, they had brought her to the Harsh Spring Mountain Range to escape.

Di Xiangnu shook her head and said, “No, grandfather said the Ning Family doesn’t want me and asked me to take the surname Di. I’m now called Di Xiangnu.”

“Your grandfather? You’ve found your grandfather?” Yan Yumo naturally knew Xiangnu’s background very well. Xiangnu had told her everything.

Di Xiangnu nodded. “Yes, I didn’t expect that the person I saved would be my grandfather.”

“Congratulations, Xiangnu.” Ah Xi somewhat suspected that the reason Xiangnu had become so impressive all of a sudden was very likely related to her grandfather.

“Big Brother Ah Xi, Elder Sister Yumo, let’s leave this place first. I’ll take both of you to see my grandfather. I reckon I might leave very soon this time.” Xiangnu knew she certainly had to leave with her grandfather, but Ah Xi and Elder Sister Yumo were her next of kin.

“Alright, let’s get out first.” Ah Xi nodded his head.

He and Yan Yumo could vaguely guess why Xiangnu had become so impressive all of a sudden. This was very likely because of that grandfather of hers.

…

“Grandfather, I’ve brought my friends.” Xiangnu sounded excited, as she also suspected that the reason she had become so impressive all of a sudden was most likely related to her grandfather.

“Come in.” Di Jiu was also very satisfied with her two friends. His Spiritual Force was always by her side. After she’d caused trouble, Yan Yumo had thought of helping her immediately instead of trying to escape.

“Greetings from me and Yumo, Senior.” They hurriedly knelt after they came in.

Ah Xi still had serious injuries on his body so he knelt with difficulty.

Di Jiu took out an elixir pill and handed it to Ah Xi. “Take this elixir pill first. Then we can all sit down and talk.”

Di Jiu was Xiangnu’s grandfather. Ah Xi did not hesitate to swallow the elixir pill. Afterward, he stood up in amazement. His serious injuries had vanished in a short time with just one elixir pill. In addition, some hidden injuries he’d had previously had also vanished and some impurities had exited his body. What kind of elixir pill was this? Could it be the Spirit Elixir cultivators used?

“Ah Xi, are you alright?” Yan Yumo also looked at him in pleasant surprise. She had carried Ah Xi back, so how could she not know how seriously injured he had been?

“That elixir pill is impressive indeed…” Ah Xi’s voice trembled. He and Yan Yumo both understood that this elixir pill was definitely a top-notch healing Spirit Elixir.

They recalled that Xiangnu had told them back then that her grandmother was a True Form expert. Could her grandfather also be a True Form expert? This was someone they’d heard rumors about and had never seen before.

“Senior…” Ah Xi was once again grateful.

Xiangnu could not be happier. She stood beside Di Jiu, already certain that her grandfather was not simple.

Di Jiu hinted to Ah Xi that he needed not thank him and let him and Yan Yumo sit aside. He then said, “I’ll leave with Xiangnu very soon. I see that both of you are only cultivating some simple Qi cultivation techniques which are not even considered part of True Cultivation…”

Ah Xi and Yan Yumo lowered their heads. Both of them had been roaming. Yan Yumo was a bit better, but Ah Xi did not even have a full name. How could he still have a complete True Cultivation technique?

Di Jiu continued speaking. “Since it would not be very convenient to bring both of you along, if you are willing, I could take in the two of you as disciples and stay here to share cultivation techniques. We can leave once both of you have a certain ability to defend yourselves.”

“Grandfather, thank you,” Xiangnu said first excitedly. She was now even more certain that it was because of her grandfather that she was so impressive. She was even happier that her grandfather was willing to accept two of her best friends as disciples. This was the happiest she had ever felt.

“Master, we are willing.” Ah Xi and Yan Yumo trembled all over with excitement. They would have already entered an immortal sect if they’d had a chance. However, their aptitudes could not be any poorer and they also did not have any roots or foundation. Thus, they’d survived outside Harsh Spring Mountain Range.

Di Jiu nodded and his voice grew sterner. “I have yet to establish my own sect, but I have established my own cultivation techniques. Our cultivation technique is called Starry Sky Art. When you have cultivated to the last part of this cultivation technique, you will be completely connected to the Heaven Earth Law. Both your aptitudes are not very good, but that is fine. My aptitude was also poor back then…”

Xiangnu, Ah Xi, and Yan Yumo listened with a surge of emotions. Their Master not only wanted to impart cultivation techniques to them but also wanted to open up the Starry Sky meridian for them.

They were soon going to enter the True Cultivation that they’d dreamed of.
