Chapter 131: Chapter 131

Outside Qingzhou City, in a secluded valley and behind a waterfall, a flash of Spirit Light appeared within a teleportation array, and Zhao Letian and two companions were teleported over.

As soon as they were teleported, the Spirit Light of the teleportation array beneath their feet suddenly dimmed.

Zhao Letian's brows furrowed. He knew that this must be what Sword Obsession, his master, did—to prevent others from following them by destroying the teleportation array on the other side.

With this, the three of them were safe. But what about Sword Obsession? Now that he has broken through to Sect Martial Realm, could he really contend with that General of Sect Martial third level?

"Letian, Luo Yao, get on." As Zhao Letian was worried, he took out the Cloud Piercing Boat with a flip of his hand. It floated in front of him, extending to a small boat about ten meters long, which could easily accommodate the three of them.

This place was too close to Qingzhou City and still dangerous, so they had to leave as quickly as possible.

"Okay." Liu Wei and Luo Yao nodded without saying much. They jumped onto the Cloud Piercing Boat, knowing that Zhao Letian was not in a good mood at the moment, and thus did not want to disturb him.

Zhao Letian destroyed the teleportation array with a sword strike and followed by jumping onto the Cloud Piercing Boat. He then took out several Mid-Grade Essence Stones with a flip of his hand and embedded them into the energy slots of the Cloud Piercing Boat to provide some auxiliary power. Standing at the bow with his hands clasped behind his back, the power of True Essence within him surged, propelling the Cloud Piercing Boat into a streak of rapid green light, heading straight for Galaxy Sect.

After flying in the sky on the Cloud Piercing Boat for a whole day, Zhao Letian and his companions finally landed.

They did not plan to return to Galaxy Sect directly, but instead found a secluded mountain range. Using a Spiritual Weapon Flying Sword, they excavated a simple cave on the side of a cliff and began to sit and regulate their breathing together.

The General had once said that not only Qingzhou City, but surrounding cities and even major sects were forcibly conscripting soldiers. If they returned to Galaxy Sect now, they might be captured by people from War King City and drafted into the military service.

In fact, Zhao Letian did not mind going to War King City to serve in the army. It was a broader stage, a desirable cultivation holy land for Martial Artists, and serving in the army was also a good way to temper oneself, very beneficial for improving his strength. As long as he did not die, the benefits were substantial. He had already considered going to make a name for himself in War King City in the future, which was one of the reasons he had accepted the Five Tigers of Galaxy Sect.

However, the General had demanded his life in exchange for Shentu Yuanbao's. He was worried that if he was captured and conscripted while returning to his sect, and should he encounter that General again on the way, wouldn't that be dangerous? Therefore, he could not go back now.

Moreover, he was worried about the safety of his master, Sword Obsession, and wanted to wait for news from his master.

"I was careless this time." Zhao Letian meditated with closed eyes, his thoughts in turmoil and his eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling a bit of self-reproach.

Originally, he just wanted to take advantage of the Martial Meeting in Qingzhou City to stand up for his mother, but unexpectedly, the meeting ended up becoming a battle of Sect Martial powerhouses. If it weren't for the protection of his master, Sword Obsession, he would have died many times over by now.

Furthermore, he had underestimated the shamelessness of the people from the four great families, or rather, his understanding of the cruelty of the Martial Arts World was still not deep enough. In this world, only strength and benefits mattered most. If there were enough benefits, those powerful martial artists would not care about things like rules, face, or the dignity of the strong; they would even take risks at all costs.

"I had thought that with my mother and the Galaxy Sect behind me, and with the constraints of martial artists' code, the people from the four great families would let me fight their juniors fairly. But, I was too naive. If I had been weak and got killed by their juniors, they naturally wouldn't have any objection. But once I gained the upper hand and sought to kill their juniors, they would intervene directly. This Qingzhou City martial arts tournament is nothing but a joke. Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have participated and wouldn't have had to risk my master's life for me," Zhao Letian thought to himself.

Although he had emerged victorious in the Qingzhou City tournament this time, having slain three talented youths from the four great families, earning himself fame that resounded throughout Qingzhou City and the admiration of thousands, he could not feel any joy in his heart. If it could ensure his master's safe return, he would willingly relinquish all this honor.

The matter of Qingzhou City was far from over. The Shentu Family, Liu Family, and Sun Family all wanted him dead and even dared to take action against him on the tournament stage. These scores were not settled just because he had killed their young talents. When he had enough strength in the future and returned to Qingzhou City, he would repay them tenfold.

As for the Zhao Family, although they ostensibly hadn't shown the intent to kill him, he was well aware that there were just as many within the Zhao Family who wanted him dead as within the other three great families, especially the Patriarch Zhao, who had deeply chilled his heart this time.

Currently, Patriarch Zhao was Zhao Letian's grandfather's own brother. Zhao Letian faced many dangers during the tournament and was bullied by the elders from the other three great families, yet Patriarch Zhao did not once appear to aid him, his grandson.

Even later, when he and his master Sword Obsession arrived on Zhao Family's grounds, they didn't see the old Patriarch stepping in to help him against Pan Teng. From this, it was clear that the Zhao Family, from top to bottom, had no familial affection for him; they simply didn't care about his life or death. Such a family was not worth belonging to. If one day he should rise to greatness like a Dragon Soaring to the Heavens, and the Zhao Family tried to rekindle relations, it would be impossible.

After his thoughts had whirled for a long time, Zhao Letian took a deep breath, and the scent of two different girls immediately entered his chest, refreshing the heart and soothing his troubled mind significantly.

Just then, Zhao Letian suddenly felt the Sect Master Order token vibrate. He took it out and saw that it was an order issued by the Sect Master of the Galaxy Sect.

The so-called Sect Master Order, as the name implies, was a command personally issued by Galaxy Sect Sect Master Chu Yunshan. The disciples who received the Sect Master Order must carry out the command or else they would be hunted and killed to the ends of the earth by the high-level enforcers of the sect.

"Letian brother, did you also receive the Sect Master Order?" Liu Wei took out her sect token with a solemn expression and looked at Zhao Letian. This command was not a good one, as it was ordering them to immediately return to the Galaxy Sect.

"Yes, the Sect Master wants us to return. I'm afraid it's very likely related to War King City's conscription. The Galaxy Sect wouldn't dare defy the orders of War King City and will definitely offer up some Sect Disciples for them to take away," Zhao Letian nodded.

"What should we do? Should we go back?" Liu Wei asked. Returning meant they might be conscripted, and thereby encounter that General who had come to Qingzhou City. Not returning would result in being hunted to death by the Galaxy Sect's powerful enforcers. They were in a dilemma.

"We have to go back, but not in a hurry. Try to delay as much as possible; I want to wait for my master's news," Zhao Letian answered.

He did not want to be hunted by the Galaxy Sect for his entire life, nor did he want to be killed by that General. He could only wait for Sword Obsession's news before making a decision. A day had already passed; if his master was still alive, he should have contacted him by now. He had also tried to contact his master using the sect token but got no response.

Just at that moment, Zhao Letian's sect token vibrated again. He looked down and his eyes revealed a look of surprise. This time, it was a message from his master, Sword Obsession.
