The gatekeeper didn't dare ask any more questions. He hurried "forward" into the mansion to report to his young master.
Wei Yu was only nineteen, yet his swordsmanship had reached the pinnacle. Among those of the same cultivation, no one in Xianyang could defeat him.
He wasn't some pampered young master who was only good at private duels, either. Though still young, he had already honed his skills in the Barbarian-Suppressing Army.
"Barbarian-Suppressing" wasn't an ordinary military title.
Qin had the Ten Qin Armies, renowned as the strongest forces under heaven.
The Barbarian-Suppressing Army ranked fifth.
In the past, aside from the foremost Barong, nearly every one of the Ten Qin Armies had a name containing the character for "beast."
The Arrogant Dragon, ranked second, and the Phoenix Sparrow, ranked third, were examples.
After the Barbarian-Suppressing Army appeared and replaced one of them, four more powerful armies whose names contained "beast" were successively replaced in less than a century.

So this army had simply taken the name "Barbarian-Suppressing," meaning it would subdue those with fangs and surpass the armies that came before it. The name carried another meaning, too: "barbarian" evoked night hunts and man-eating demons.
