Free Web NovelChapter 1311: Chapter 6: The Triumphant Return
"Brother, brother, I heard you’ve become the number one in the world, is that right? Why didn’t you tell me first? Are you tired? Was it hard? Do you miss me..."
After a string of questions—
"Then I am the number one sister in the world, right? I, Jiang Anan, the number one sister in the world!"
(Here, there’s a drawing of a little person laughing with hands on hips.)
"Everyone says you’re so incredible, so incredible, and I told them you’ve always been this incredible, you even won first place before!"
The last sentence was—
"Brother, when are you coming to see me?"
Jiang Wang was on his way back to Qi Country when he received this Yun He message. From the moment he unfolded the letter, he couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.
Indeed, the Yun He message transmission technique, a secret of the Lingxiao Pavilion, is truly marvelous.
It travels through the drifting clouds, silent and unnoticed. On the journey, it blends in with ordinary clouds. The information passes only between the clouds themselves, and only upon reaching the intended recipient does it take a wisp of cloud and transform into a Yun He to descend.
Its greatest advantage is its concealment. The ability to transmit over thousands of miles is due firstly to the unique nature of the clouds, and secondly to a core Formation within Lingxiao Secret Land that provides support to the Yun He. Of course, depending on the user’s level, the security of the information transmitted by Yun He cannot be guaranteed.
However, the topics usually discussed between Jiang Wang and Jiang Anan are just mundane life matters, so there’s really no secret to speak of.
Although the Yun He message movement is very subtle, it certainly can’t escape the notice of fellow travelers like Cao Jie and others, but Jiang Wang never intended to hide it, to begin with.
So he just started replying openly on the carriage—
"Ah, you already know? Brother didn’t want to say it, sigh, just afraid you’d get arrogant.
Actually, it’s not that great. It’s just all the number one talents from all the countries in the world, gathering together for a martial arts competition, and then brother accidentally grabbed the first place.
It’s only that once every decade or so, the Neifu Cultivators from all over the world come up with a single champion. It’s really nothing special.
Of course, with cultivators from Tianfu and Peak Cultivators participating in this session, brother might be the most powerful one for the past several sessions. But so what?
Jiang Anan, kiddo, you must remain humble, not show off. Although your brother is indeed the number one in the Neifu level, the world is vast, with talents numerous as the stars, and there will always be one or two Neifu prodigies who can give your brother a challenge. Pride brings loss, humility brings gain, remember this well.
Once brother handles some affairs back in Qi Country, he will come to see you. There will be a surprise!"
Happily content, Jiang Wang wrote this, then added with a chuckle—
"Also, your handwriting is a bit slanted, have you been practicing too hard lately?" freewebnovel.cσ๓
With a casual fold of the letter, it transformed into a Yun He and flew out the carriage window.
It circled slightly in the air, soaring over the long procession of horses and wagons and climbing ever higher, straight into the clouds.
This was the grand Qi Kingdom’s returning convoy. Soldiers from the elite Sky-covering Army paved the way at the front, while the carriages of the two national talents followed behind—Ji Zhaonan had already gone to the gate of all demons by then.
His horse "Xiao Bai" was however left in the convoy, entrusted to the Sky-covering Army to bring back to camp.
Normally, unless necessary, war horses rarely go beyond the gate of all demons.
The war horses mentioned here have a mix of Demon Beast Bloodlines, making them powerful steeds that ordinary horses couldn’t compete with, hardly suitable for Transcendent battlefields.
While ordinary soldiers can form military formations and evolve transcendent powers, common horses lack such abilities.
The world-famous Mounted Armies generally ride steeds mixed with Demon Beast Bloodlines, and some are of the Demon Beast level themselves.
Such naturally born Foreign Beast mounts are extremely rare, let alone organizing them into an army.
That’s why, aside from Mounted Armies, there are few instances of people taking mounts to the gate of all demons.
Firstly, war horses mixed with Demon Beast Bloodlines can easily provoke aggressive reactions from the Demon clan.
Secondly, passing through the gate of all demons itself consumes its power. Although the gate of all demons separates two worlds and is bolstered by the legacies of powerful ancestors from the Human Race, despite the minimal power consumed, over long eras, the warriors passing through have been too numerous.
Human Race has come from arduous times; especially in places like the gate of all demons soaked with the blood of countless forebears, how could the later generations afford luxury?
"Xiao Bai" was currently walking alongside "Yan Zhao" and "Xue Ye," three prized imperial horses strutting conspicuously.
The team heading to Guanhe Platform was in the front, while those who came as spectators followed.
Cao Jie’s carriage was positioned at the very end of the convoy.
Such a convoy, filled with many talents and noble families, if anything were to happen, the whole town of Linzi would be in chaos. Thus, he couldn’t simply detach himself.
He needs to escort everyone back to Linzi successfully to complete his duties.
Through Wo and Ji, passing Zheng and Yang, this was the route frequented by the people of Qi Kingdom to and from Guanhe Platform. Naturally, the land of Yang now belongs to Qi territory.
"What did you say to An’an?" Zhongxuan Sheng, sitting opposite, asked with a smile.
This carriage, meant to carry a national talent, normally wouldn’t have others boarding it.
But Zhongxuan Sheng insisted on squeezing in for a ride, and no one could stop him.
And since Zhongxuan Sheng boarded, Fourteen naturally wouldn’t fall behind.
So, in a spacious carriage, the glorified number one of the Neifu ends up squeezed into a corner, even writing the reply pressing against the carriage wall.
Zhongxuan Sheng had the decency not to peek, but his curiosity was inevitable. freewёbnoνel.com
If it weren’t for Jiang Wang needing to return to Qi promptly after the Yellow River Gathering to receive his royal decree, he would have been quite interested to follow Jiang Wang to the Yunxiao Pavilion to see Jiang Anan.
