Jiang Chen felt the energy was exceptionally massive, more than triple that of the Abnormal Beasts outside. No wonder this place was called a cultivator’s paradise; most of the people who left here were strong.
Jiang Long asked, "How is it?"
"Pretty good."
"It’s indeed a huge amount of energy."
Jiang Long smiled. "That’s why people often band together here. Once they encounter danger, they fight the Abnormal Beasts together, dismembering them to increase their Realm. I see you’re alone; how about teaming up with us?
"You can’t hunt Abnormal Beasts by yourself.
"It’s better to follow us, hunt Abnormal Beasts together, and then we can just divide the meat equally.
"At night, we still sit together, so there’s no need to worry about the cold."
Jiang Long looked at Jiang Chen, still smiling.
"Okay," Jiang Chen replied. "I’ll join you to hunt Abnormal Beasts tomorrow."
Jiang Long laughed loudly. "Haha... that’s the spirit! What should I call you?"
"Jiang Chen."
"Good name! We all share the same last name; it must be fate that brought us together! From now on, stick with Big Brother, and you’ll eat nine meals a day..."
Grandpa De, is that you? Jiang Chen wondered.
Jiang Yan chuckled. "Stop joking. Nine meals a day? Sometimes we don’t eat at all!"
Jiang Long said, "Eat more, so you have strength for the journey tomorrow."
"Thank you..."
Since it was food, he wouldn’t be polite.
Jiang Chen glanced around. Most of the cultivators were men; there were very few women. He asked, "Isn’t this a stronghold of the Qianren Association? Why haven’t I seen any of their people?"
"They’re all in the Inner City; this is the outer area," Jiang Long explained. "You should know that the Qianren Association is composed entirely of female Disciples. They have a rule: no men are allowed to enter. If one does, he’s killed without mercy..."
Jiang Chen exclaimed, "That domineering?"
"The Qianren Association is one of the Five Alliances, so of course, they’re domineering. Other strongholds are different. People sit around campfires, and if you have Abnormal Beast meat, you can even stay at an inn."
"Inns are expensive."
"Expensive has its advantages."
Jiang Chen smiled. "Actually, it’s not much different from the outside."
Jiang Long chuckled. "There is a difference. Inside, there are quite a few forms of entertainment."
SLAP...
Jiang Yan slapped him.
She glared fiercely and snapped, "Are you thinking of trying it out?"
"I was talking about the gambling dens."
"Hmph, you think I don’t know what you’re implying?"
Jiang Long gave an embarrassed smile.
Jiang Chen suddenly understood. Women... So there are places like that here? How curious!
Jiang Hu said, "Trade for meat."
"What do you mean, ’trade for meat’?"
"Your body."
Can’t you use a few more words when you speak? Jiang Chen thought.
Jiang Chen had figured it out. Jiang Long was quite talkative, a bit of a chatterbox. His brother, however, was different, barely speaking at all. When he did speak, it was only in two or three words.
TAP TAP TAP...
A young man in a black robe entered the city, followed by three others, all laden with Abnormal Beast meat.
As soon as this young man entered the city, he became the center of attention. Everyone looked over.
"That’s Shen Yidao! Look at all that Abnormal Beast meat!"
"He’s truly powerful. I heard he kills Abnormal Beasts with a single strike. I wonder if it’s true?"
"True or not, anyone who’s tried to snatch an Abnormal Beast from him has ended up dead, decapitated!"
"Looks like White Bear Monster meat, and from an adult too."
"That must be at least several hundred pounds!"
"I wonder where he hunted it. If only we could scavenge some bones!"
Jiang Chen, while eating meat, turned to look. This Shen Yidao gave him a very dangerous feeling. The strength of his True Qi was probably around the fifth stage. His True Qi was robust and sharp as a knife.
Jiang Long whispered, "That’s Shen Yidao."
"Never heard of him."
"Of course, you haven’t heard of him," Jiang Long whispered. "This man is extremely dangerous. He never uses more than one strike to kill. His True Qi is aggressive, much like Bai Yun’s Heaven Cutting Swords Technique."
"Bai Yun, have you heard of him?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
Bai Yun? Not only have I heard of him, I’ve met him! Jiang Chen thought.
Jiang Long chuckled. "Shen Yidao once boasted that he would surpass Bai Yun and become the new Sword God."
"I remember Bai Yun is a Ninth-Stage Master!"
"Bai Yun isn’t just a Ninth-Stage Master; he’s a Sword God! He’s the ultimate goal for all Wanderers. You might not have seen Bai Yun, but I’ve seen him with my own eyes."
Jiang Chen was surprised. "You’ve seen him? What does he look like?"
"He has very thick eyebrows."
What? Jiang Chen thought.
"Big eyes, a very prominent nose."
Seriously?
"He’s burly, about my size, though of course, not as impressive as me."
This guy...
"His voice is like thunder!"
Are you sure you’ve seen Bai Yun? Jiang Chen wanted to retort. The person you’re describing sounds more like Zhang Fei! Is that supposed to be Bai Yun?
"He’s nearly two meters tall."
Alright then, Jiang Chen concluded internally. You definitely saw Zhang Fei, not Bai Yun.
"The most unique thing about him is his swordsmanship, the Heaven Cutting Swords Technique! Have you ever seen it? A single strike from him would make even the Divine tremble!"
That part, at least, is true, Jiang Chen acknowledged to himself. Bai Yun’s Sword Qi is indeed powerful; he has comprehended the Sword Principle.
Jiang Long coughed, a proud look on his face. "You might not know this, but Bai Yun himself once gave me some pointers."
Jiang Chen glanced at him. "Brother Jiang, don’t you use a saber?"
"Actually, the principles behind sabers and swords are similar. When hunting Abnormal Beasts, a saber is better. One clean cut, and the beast’s head comes right off."
Jiang Yan glared at him. "Stop boasting! Shouldn’t you conserve your energy? We still need to hunt Abnormal Beasts tomorrow!"
Jiang Hu nodded. "Rest."
Jiang Long was displeased. Can’t they see my new little brother is looking at me with admiration? I finally get a follower, and they’re trying to ruin it?
Jiang Long said, "Jiang Chen, do you believe me?"
"I believe you."
"If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll take you to meet Bai Yun. To be honest with you, when Bai Yun sees me, he has to call me Big Brother!"
Wow, what a load of bull, Jiang Chen thought. I almost believed him.
Jiang Yan interjected, "Don’t listen to him. He’s never seen Bai Yun. The most he’s seen is a White Pig."
"What’s a White Pig?"
"It’s a type of strong Abnormal Beast found here, covered in quills."
Jiang Lan said, "Alright, everyone, rest well. If we don’t manage to hunt an Abnormal Beast tomorrow, we’ll go hungry."
"Rest, rest."
The four of them sat cross-legged and closed their eyes...
Jiang Chen did the same.

「The next morning...」
The group opened their eyes.
