The last sentence echoed in his ears, and Wang Xuan's expression instantly changed.
"What? He's not dead?!"
"How is that possible! Didn't you kill him already?!"
Wang Xuan's voice rose three octaves!
He had personally witnessed the Bewitching Envoy being killed by Li Qingyi's Sword Pill, his body blasted into fragments!
Dead beyond any doubt!
But now Li Qingyi was telling him that the Bewitching Envoy might not be alive!
How was that possible!
A chill instantly ran through Wang Xuan's heart!
He had been the one to disrupt the blood sacrifice orchestrated by the Bewitching Envoy!
If the Bewitching Envoy hated anyone the most, it would undoubtedly be him!
With the Bewitching Envoy's strength, if he wanted to retaliate, Wang Xuan would be utterly unable to withstand it with his current power!
Seeing Wang Xuan's slight panic, Li Qingyi immediately explained, "You don't need to worry too much; this is just my speculation."
"I've dealt with the Pity Life Sect's Bewitching Envoys before, and I know these guys are incredibly cunning."
"I'm just a little worried."
"Besides, even if he is still alive, he won't have even one percent of his original strength, so you don't need to be too concerned."
Wang Xuan nodded slightly, but his expression remained grave.
"Alright, I have to go."
"I hope the next time we meet, it will be at the Demon Slayer Division."
After uttering those words, Li Qingyi vanished.
Watching Li Qingyi leave, Wang Xuan couldn't help but clench the token in his hand, a flicker of panic in his eyes!
"The Demon Slayer Division's trial..."
"I must pass it!"
"And I must obtain the qualification for the Soaring Dragon Assembly as well!"
Wang Xuan murmured.
He took a deep breath, calming his emotions.
Regardless of whether the Bewitching Envoy was truly dead or not, he needed to become stronger to have the power to protect himself in this chaotic world!
Not long after Li Qingyi left, the sound of footsteps came again.
Yang Tianfeng walked into the camp.
"Greetings, Centurion!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Wang Xuan quickly cupped his fist in salute.
Yang Tianfeng, with a beaming smile, waved his hand, "No need for formalities."
"How is your body? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Wang Xuan replied, "Reporting to the Centurion, sir."
"This subordinate's body is temporarily fine."
Yang Tianfeng nodded, his gaze involuntarily falling upon the token in Wang Xuan's hand.
"It seems you've agreed to her offer."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's expression changed slightly.
Just as he was about to explain, Yang Tianfeng said, "No need to explain; I understand."
"I already know everything about the Chillshadow Gulch incident. With your talent, joining the Demon Slayer Division is indeed the best choice."
"If I were in your shoes, I would also choose to join the Demon Slayer Division!"
Wang Xuan remained silent.
Yang Tianfeng smiled, "Don't be nervous."
"I didn't come here to interrogate you!"
"I came here to bring you good news!"
"Oh, good news?"
"Could it be... about the Soaring Dragon Assembly?"
Wang Xuan asked in confusion.
Yang Tianfeng chuckled, "It seems you already know."
"After discussing it with the other two Centurions, we've decided to let you participate in the qualification competition for the Soaring Dragon Assembly on behalf of the new recruit camp."
"With your current strength, it should be enough."
Hearing this, Wang Xuan was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Centurion!"
Yang Tianfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't be in such a hurry."
"I'm just letting you compete. Whether you can get the qualification for the Soaring Dragon Assembly depends on you."
"This time, it's the White Water County's Soaring Dragon Assembly preliminary battle."
"A total of four forces will participate."
"Our military camp has a total of ten people."
"In the new recruit camp, there's you, Lu Yang, and Fan Hong. As for the other seven, they were selected from other military camps."
"In addition to our military camp, the other three forces are martial arts schools, aristocratic families, and some small sects in our White Water County."
"Adding them all up, there will be over a hundred people."
"Whether it's martial arts schools, aristocratic families, or even small sects, their methods of training disciples are different from our army. They focus on elite training."
"So, in terms of strength, the people our military camp sends out are actually the weakest."
"You'd better be mentally prepared for this!"
Wang Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The people in the army are almost all from poor families.
Even if there are scions of aristocratic families, they won't start as ordinary soldiers but will go to prosperous places and directly become Chief Standard Bearers or even Company Commanders.
"But don't worry."
"There are still three days until the preliminary battle."
"During these three days, I will personally guide your cultivation. If you have any difficulties in your Martial Path cultivation, I will help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xuan looked at Yang Tianfeng in surprise.
He was about to participate in the Demon Slayer Division's trial and should be leaving soon, but Yang Tianfeng still valued him so much!
This surprised him a bit!
Seeing Wang Xuan's expression, Yang Tianfeng said, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm being too nice to you?"
Wang Xuan said awkwardly, "This subordinate doesn't understand why the Centurion values me so much. What if I can't compete for the qualification? Wouldn't that disappoint you, sir?"
Yang Tianfeng laughed heartily, "Disappoint?"
"No! This Centurion has great confidence in you!"
"As for why I'm helping you, the reason is simple."
"This Centurion originally came from the Black Tortoise Battalion of the Imperial Capital, but I came here for some reason."
"If you can participate in the Soaring Dragon Assembly and achieve a ranking, this Centurion will also be able to return to the Imperial Capital!"
"Do you understand now?"
Wang Xuan understood instantly upon hearing this.
"If that's what the Centurion says, then this subordinate understands."
Yang Tianfeng laughed heartily and patted Wang Xuan on the shoulder.
"Don't be pressured!"
"This Centurion has great confidence in you!"
"Besides telling you about the Soaring Dragon Assembly, I have a gift for you!"
"A gift?"
A hint of surprise appeared in Wang Xuan's eyes.
Yang Tianfeng smiled and said, "You've twice disrupted the Pity Life Sect's blood sacrifice and made great contributions. According to the rewards of the military camp, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to become a Company Commander!"
"But your realm hasn't reached that level, and you're about to leave, so this Centurion has exchanged your war merits for other things!"
"This thing, I had someone get it from the borderlands. It's a good thing. Step back a little!"
Wang Xuan immediately stepped back.
He saw Yang Tianfeng raise his right hand, and a storage bag hanging from his waist flashed with light, a strong aura of blood and killing swept out!
It instantly filled the entire tent!
Wang Xuan's pupils shrank, and he saw blood light surging in Yang Tianfeng's hand. When the blood light dissipated, a heavy bow, jet-black all over and entwined with golden dragon edges, appeared before his eyes!
As soon as the black, gold-edged dragon heavy bow appeared, Wang Xuan felt a palpable killing intent and an extremely powerful fluctuation!
"This... this is!!!"
Wang Xuan's eyes widened, staring intently at the bow.
"This heavy bow is called the Black Serpent Bow!"
"It's a low-grade treasure!"
"Forged from the bones and blood sinews of a Demon, it's more than enough for your current needs!"
"This Centurion knows you're an amazing archer, so I specially sought it out for you!"
"Here!!!"
"Try it out and see if you can tame this Black Serpent Bow!"
