Night Roaming Tower

On the way back, Wang Zhu and his son, carrying the corpse of the Black Panther Demonic Beast, followed behind, panting.

Meanwhile, in Yang Qingyun's hand, he held a black wooden token found on Zhao Qing. His fingers unconsciously rubbed over it, almost all his attention focused on this wooden token.

[Holders of this token may enter the Night Roaming Tower]

Yang Qingyun stared at the inscription, his expression unreadable, lost in thought.

"In my previous life, Zhao Qing's rise to prominence involved a crucial turning point: he stole a treasure from the Six Doors, then changed his identity and joined the Night Roaming Tower. He spent ten years accumulating strength, eventually breaking through to the Innate realm and becoming famous throughout the land."

"It seems that if I hadn't intervened, his defection would have happened around this time."

Gazing at the Night Roaming Tower invitation token in his hand, Yang Qingyun thought to himself.

After the age of thirty, a martial artist's bones and muscles are almost set. Without any special opportunities, there would be little room for significant progress in the future.

However, if one were to break all their bones and then consume Jade Dew, with the potent vitality provided by the Jade Dew, all injuries and broken bones would be healed. Simultaneously, it would allow for a process of breaking and rebuilding, a purification and rebirth, restoring the body's potential to that of a twenty-year-old youth!

Zhao Qing's future breakthrough to the Innate realm was likely achieved through this method of bone and muscle purification.

It was likely that in the future, Zhao Qing would undergo a secret experience unknown to outsiders.

But these things had little to do with Yang Qingyun, and he had no interest in understanding or exploring them.

What truly mattered to him, was the invitation token in his hand!

"The Night Roaming Tower, the largest assassin organization in the Chu region. Rumor has it they accept any applicant, as long as they possess an invitation token, they can join."

"Their management of the assassins below is very lenient. They don't force their assassins to take any missions, nor do they even require them to reveal their identities. Assassins accept missions if they want to, and refuse if they don't. They simply take bounty missions from various places, post them, and act as a platform to collect commission fees."

"Furthermore, as long as enough missions are completed, one can be promoted to the next level. Completing missions also earns contribution points, which can be exchanged for intelligence, treasures, cultivation techniques, martial skills, and even methods to advance to the Innate realm and insights from Grandmasters!"

Recalling his memories of the Night Roaming Tower from his previous life, Yang Qingyun felt a stir of interest.

Having been reborn and gotten off to a relatively perfect start, he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency after learning that the resurgence of spiritual qi had shown signs long ago.

Especially after witnessing the residual willpower from the blade fragment in the Misty Valley.

It made Yang Qingyun even more acutely aware of

how terrifying the upper limit of this world was!

There were still twenty years until the large-scale spiritual qi resurgence and the invasion of the Xuantian Realm.

It seemed like a long time, but if he couldn't possess significantly greater strength before then, he feared he would end up like his previous life, a mere ant struggling to survive in a chaotic world!

His life and destiny controlled by others!

"Now that the signs of spiritual qi resurgence are appearing, and rare treasures are emerging across the land, perhaps the Night Roaming Tower could be a good platform. If I can leverage it, I might be able to gather information about spiritual sites in various regions, then head out to explore them, thereby accelerating my progress."

Yang Qingyun's eyes flickered slightly as this thought arose in his mind.

No, it wasn't time yet!

Yang Qingyun closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

Although he currently possessed the strength to kill those in the Viscera Refining Realm thanks to his past life's experience, he was still just a minor entry-level martial artist.

Entering such a large organization with only the cultivation of just starting out on the Martial Path, was a bit too risky!

"I'll wait until I advance to the Viscera Refining Realm. Once I reach the Viscera Refining Realm, the small Huangshi Town will likely have few resources to support my further progress."

"After leaving Huangshi Town, I'll try to join the Night Roaming Tower then, and see if I can use this larger platform to search for the resources I'll need for my future cultivation."

Yang Qingyun put away the Night Roaming Tower invitation token in his hand, his mind already having a general plan for the future.

Huangshi Town was too small, and he couldn't stay there forever. Since he now had this invitation token, it might be a good place for him to go in the future.

The journey back was uneventful, with no complications.

However, upon returning to Huangshi Town, the entrance to the city was unusually crowded.

"What happened?"

Yang Qingyun frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Zhu quickly went to ask someone nearby.

From the surrounding passersby, he learned that it was people from the Sifang Society, a major power in Bao'an County City, who had arrived.

The Sifang Society held absolute sway within Bao'an County City, They were a truly dominant force!

Many people heard the news

and came out to join the excitement and see for themselves.

This led to the crowded scene.

"As expected of a major power that can dominate an entire county. Even when their subordinates travel, they carry such immense presence! I wonder what brings such a significant force to our Huangshi Town."

"I fear their intentions are not good."

Yang Qingyun's gaze swept towards the center of the road, where a group of people with sharp and robust auras were passing by. He murmured softly, "Young Master, what do you mean by that?"

"When a group travels, how can their arrival be known to everyone in the destination before they even get there? It looks like a well-laid plan."

Yang Qingyun stated calmly.

"The Sifang Society arrives with such overwhelming force, but this Huangshi Town is the territory of the Black Tiger Gang. It seems a fierce battle is about to erupt between the two. For the time being, let's keep a low profile."

Yang Qingyun shook his head slightly, not bothering to watch further. He turned and walked away in another direction.

Let them fight however they wanted; Yang Qingyun had no intention of getting involved.

Next, He needed to refine the Spirit Ginseng Jade Dew Pill, use the Black Panther Demonic Beast to concoct the All-Encompassing Tonic Soup for cultivation, comprehend the saber intent from the fragments, and practice. There was still much he had to do!

Just digesting what he had gained from this trip would require a considerable amount of time and energy.

He didn't have the leisure to waste on this.

Wang Zhu and the other person saw this, and quickly followed him.

At almost the same moment, "Hmm?"

Among the Sifang Society's entourage, the man in the lead, clad in silver leather armor and mounted on a tall horse, exuded an imposing presence. He seemed to sense something and glanced back.

However, Yang Qingyun's figure had already vanished into the crowd.

"What is it, Hall Master?"

Someone behind him asked.

"Nothing, just a slight premonition."

The man's expression was calm. He shook his head slightly, not paying it much mind.

At this moment, At the city gate ahead, A group of fierce-looking thugs appeared, blocking the entrance to the city.

The procession came to a halt.

The two groups faced each other, The onlookers who had gathered around them scattered in terror.

The air seemed to be filled with a chilling, murderous aura.

"Hall Master, it looks like the Black Tiger Gang from this town has arrived. What should we do?"

The man, still mounted on his horse, looked down from his vantage point, a faint, disdainful smile on his face, exuding a confidence that everything was under his control.

"Just a local bumpkin gang."

"I am invincible, you may do as you please."
