Phantom Shadow Demon Trace

Volume 2: Phantom Shadow Demon Trace, Chapter 17: Divine Martial Heavenly Army Zuo Yanfei

Tang Ruowei thought for a moment, heightening her vigilance in her heart, and then reached out to take the hand of this older sister.

"This city is actually even more vast than the imperial capital of our Shangxuan."

At this moment, the people from the Dingguo Dynasty also arrived. An old man wearing black official robes embroidered with white cranes, the vast sea, and the rising sun on his chest, accompanied by two guards carrying blades, arrived in this courtyard.

While Tang Ruowei was still hesitating, Bai Qiuran turned his head back, revealing a very innocent, kind, and simple smile.

"Of course, Guzhou has ten countries, while Cangzhou only has three. In terms of national strength, Dingguo is definitely stronger."

"Then Master, shall we go to the imperial palace now?"

The Divine Martial Heavenly Army sounds like the name of some military unit, but in reality, it is one of the five major sects of the Righteous Path Alliance, just like the Azure Nether Sword Sect.

"You can just call me Ruowei."

However, thinking about it carefully, when she first met Bai Qiuran, he gave the impression of a proper hero. But as Tang Ruowei spent more time with him, she discovered that once he became familiar with someone, he became increasingly unrestrained, and his speech became more and more brazen.

Tang Ruowei stood behind Zuo Yanfei, watching this scene with a very complex expression, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Tang Ruowei was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned her head to look at Bai Qiuran, but Bai Qiuran was looking up at the red pillar beside him, whistling and pretending not to notice his disciple's gaze.

Damn it, Master, you can't do this!

Tang Ruowei looked around; most of these people were martial artists equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage. However, besides her, there were still a few cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, such as that heroic older sister over there wearing armor with her black hair tied in a high ponytail, as well as two men and women standing side by side further away.

Cultivators can change their physical constitution, so the appearance of these few cultivators was not low at all.

"I believe everyone's purpose for coming here is very clear, so I won't say much more. We do not restrict your methods; whether you choose to cooperate or act alone is up to you. If you cooperate, you can discuss the distribution of rewards among yourselves. This time, His Majesty has added a bounty. As long as you capture the murderer who killed the Crown Prince, regardless of whether they are dead or alive, in addition to the contents of the previous bounty, you can also receive a third-grade immortal herb long treasured in the national treasury. As for the judgment of the murderer's identity, it will be the responsibility of our Venerable. You must bring back the person if alive, or the corpse if dead. That is all."

Seeing him like this, Tang Ruowei muttered to herself: "Then let's go to the imperial palace now."

After confirming the token, Tang Ruowei smiled and said: "I have long heard of your great name."

"As expected of the Azure Nether Sword Sect's cultivation technique, I can't understand a word of it."

"I don't know."

However, this was a piece of cake for Tang Ruowei, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. She simply released her Kun Ling Sword, which circled around her, and the two reviewers were amazed, respectfully welcoming her inside.

"Hello."

Noticing the strange expression on Tang Ruowei's face, Zuo Yanfei thought for a moment, seemingly misunderstanding something, and smiled at Tang Ruowei: "It seems this Junior Brother Bai is very important to Miss Tang..."

"Uh, he is..."

Arriving in front of the imperial palace gate and asking a few passersby, Tang Ruowei successfully found the location where one could apply for the bounty to hunt down the Crown Prince's murderer.

Tang Ruowei asked.

The bounty issued personally by the current emperor naturally could not allow just anyone to participate. There were people reviewing applicants at the entrance, and one had to pass the review to enter.

"Yes, I am Tang Ruowei, a disciple of the Azure Nether Sword Sect. I wonder who this older sister is..."

"Nice to meet you. I have also long yearned for the Azure Nether Sword Sect."

"Is this young lady from the Azure Nether Sword Sect?"

The five major sects of the Righteous Path Alliance each have their own areas of excellence. The Azure Nether Sword Sect, led by Jueyunzi, has almost no equal among cultivators of the same level in terms of attack capability. Of the remaining four sects, the Heavenly Saint Buddhist Sect is the most resilient, the Profound Law Academy has the highest technical prowess, Xiandu Yulou is the wealthiest, and the Divine Martial Heavenly Army has the largest number of members.

While looking at the rows of Dingguo-style buildings, Tang Ruowei sighed.

Tang Ruowei was shocked, surprised at how skillfully this guy could pretend to be young.

Zuo Yanfei nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Zuo Yanfei smiled.

When Tang Ruowei entered, these cultivators also noticed her. The other cultivators looked at her and then withdrew their gazes, ignoring her further, but that heroic older sister walked toward her.

Behind the gate was a courtyard, and inside the courtyard, besides Tang Ruowei and Bai Qiuran, there were already some other people.

"I am the Minister of Justice of Dingguo. Greetings, Immortals and heroes."

Within the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, apart from the command flags of each battalion, there are basically no Magic Treasures. Instead, they use divine weapons that are superior to mortal weapons. The disciples of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army have a fighting style that leans more towards the generals of the mortal world, wielding blades, spears, axes, and halberds, and are skilled in close-quarters weapon combat.

"Is this your junior brother?"

Bai Qiuran said while walking: "Ah, right, Ruowei, from now on, your training officially begins. From here on out, Master will not provide you with any help. It's up to you."

The internal ranking and management of this sect all use the system from the army of the past. The main direction of the sect's research is military law and battle formations, and the sect's techniques and moves are just like the sect's style: grand, open, and aggressively advancing.

"Hmm, I see."

Bai Qiuran replied expressionlessly.

Accompanied by the endless stream of people, Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei entered the largest city in Dingguo and even Cangzhou.

The heroic older sister held up a token, smiled, and answered.

Tang Ruowei let out a long sigh and said gloomily: "Sister Zuo Yanfei, you clearly misunderstood. In any case, it's not what you think..."

Bai Qiuran smiled.

As a former princess, the imperial palace was equivalent to Tang Ruowei's home, so even in a foreign country, she could keenly find the location of the country's imperial palace.

After looking at the direction, Tang Ruowei stepped forward, and Bai Qiuran followed without a word, like a lingering spirit.

Dingguo Imperial City, Baiyuan City gate.

"Oh, I see."

"So it's someone from the Divine Martial Heavenly Army."

Bai Qiuran helped "explain": "Sister Zuo, my senior sister practices a special technique, and her True Essence circulation occasionally experiences... stagnation. Once she becomes proficient in it, it will be fine."

"Alright."

Zuo Yanfei smiled and then looked at Bai Qiuran, who was standing behind Tang Ruowei.

This fighting style led the mortals in the regions near the Divine Martial Heavenly Army's headquarters to call them Divine Generals.

The older sister with the high black ponytail reached out her hand to Tang Ruowei.

He cupped his hands to everyone present.

"Hmm?"

"My surname is Bai. Sister Zuo Yanfei can just call me Xiao Bai."

"Yes, older sister. I am out for training with my senior sister this time. My aptitude is dull, and my master said I can only see the world if I follow my senior sister."

"Divine Martial Heavenly Army first-class soldier, Zuo Yanfei."

"This older sister is named Zuo Yanfei. What is your name?"

This sect was established by a human general who survived the Great War between Humans and Demons. The name of the sect also comes from the flag of a certain army among the human forces that were reorganized into an army after the sect order was disrupted during the late stages of the war.
