Chapter 9: Night Patrol

Thunder roars!

The huge thunder echoes between heaven and earth, and the sky is covered with clouds and is full of heaviness.

Lightning flashes across the sky, accompanied by heavy rain, rushing towards the world.

Under the rain curtain, the whole world is dark and full of depression, and bursts of sobs are transmitted in the storm, as if crying out the cruelty of this chaotic world.

The climate of Qixingzhou is humid and it rains all year round. As one of the thirteen states of Cangyan Territory, although it is only a small island on the edge, it has a vast territory and abundant products.

There are three major sects in Qixingzhou.

They are——

Feiyuan Palace, Qixingmen, and Chihu Sect.

Among them, Feiyuan Palace is not only the strongest sect among the three major sects, but also the ruling force of the entire Qixingzhou.

Qixingmen and Chihu Sect are only affiliated sects of Feiyuan Palace.

Chihu Sect is located in the southern part of Qixingzhou.

The sect was built on a huge mountain, with buildings surrounding the mountain, which was magnificent.

The mountainside was used as the boundary, forming a dividing line that divided the entire sect into the upper sect and the lower sect.

The outer disciples were all located in the lower sect below the mountainside.

Only the inner disciples, the core disciples, were qualified to enter the upper sect.

This was also the reason why Xiao Shi had never seen an inner disciple in the sect for so long.

In addition to their own sects, the three major sects also controlled some cities.

Jinyun City, as the main city controlled by the Red Tiger Sect, has always been prosperous under the management of the Red Tiger Sect.

There are not many cities in the entire Qixingzhou.

Every city is extremely important.

Especially in such a chaotic world, being able to live in the city is undoubtedly the goal and dream of many people.

After all, compared with the wilderness without any order, although there will be fighting and death in the city, compared with the danger and chaos outside, the city is undoubtedly much safer.

So living in the city has become the dream of many people.

Many people come to the city every day, and many people don’t want to leave after they come.

But…

Every city has its rules.

You can’t stay if you want to.

When Xiao Shi and other outer disciples arrived in Jinyun City, it was already afternoon.

As soon as he entered the city, Xiao Shi heard the bustling noise.

Even on rainy days.

The whole Jinyun City is very lively.

The person who led these outer disciples to Jinyun City this time was a short, round-faced man from the upper sect.

He seemed to be an elder of the upper sect.

After entering Jinyun City, he led everyone all the way to a magnificent building.

This building is located in the center of Jinyun City and is very conspicuous.

The overall color of the building is dark and filled with coldness.

Although it is in the downtown area, no pedestrians approach it. They all go around it. It seems that there is something terrifying here that makes them dare not approach.

Above the gate of the building, there is a plaque with three black and cold characters on it.

Night Patrol!

At this time, a young man in black was standing at the door of the Night Patrol. After seeing Xiao Shi and his group, he immediately stepped forward and greeted the round-faced elder with great respect.

The round-faced elder nodded.

He glanced at Xiao Shi and others behind him and said lightly.

“This is the Night Patrol, and it is also where you will serve. You will serve here for three years. After three years, whether you can be promoted to an inner disciple depends on your own luck.”

After the round-faced elder finished speaking, he had a simple handover with the young man in black, and then left without staying here for too long.

“Follow me.”

The young man in black waved to everyone and took them into the Night Patrol.

The Night Patrol was very open.

On the way, Xiao Shi and his group also saw some night watchmen.

These night watchmen all wore uniform black clothes and wore large black hats on their heads. Most of them looked indifferent and walked in a hurry.

When passing by Xiao Shi and his companions, the powerful Qi and blood emanating from these night watchmen clearly showed that their cultivation was basically between the sixth and seventh levels of the Martial Realm.

In addition to fighting, the specific cultivation of a martial artist in the Martial Realm is usually judged by the strength of the Qi and blood.

Each level of the Martial Realm corresponds to Qi and blood of different strengths.

The higher the level, the stronger the Qi and blood.

Although this method of judgment is not 100% accurate, the error is not too large.

Unless the opponent has some kind of treasure that hides Qi and blood, or has undergone body refining, and the Qi and blood are compressed after the body refining is successful, the Qi and blood under the real cultivation level will not be displayed.

But these two situations are extremely rare.

“So strong!”

Many outer disciples whispered in surprise after feeling the fluctuations of the Qi and blood of these night watchmen.

Going forward all the way, after bypassing several attics and paths, Xiao Shi and his companions were soon brought to a square.

In the center of the square, there were four figures sitting on chairs, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.

As they approached.

Everyone immediately felt an extremely amazing fluctuation of qi and blood from these four people!

Far beyond the night watchmen they had seen before!

Among them, the one sitting on the far left was a lazy purple-haired woman, about twenty years old, with fair skin, a cold temperament, a high ponytail, and a slender and straight long leg resting on the chair, shaking gently. She only glanced at the outer disciples who came and no longer paid attention.

The second person sitting on the left was a gray-haired old man.

The old man had narrow eyes and a black spot on his face. He was serious and looked at the outer disciples seriously.

The third person was a tall middle-aged man with a square face.

He was at least two meters tall.

Sitting there was like an iron tower, and his eyes looking at the many outer disciples were also very serious.

Sitting on the far right was a smiling, friendly young man with narrowed eyes. He looked very interested, as if he was very interested in these new outer disciples.

“Four captains, they are the outer disciples who have come to report.”

The black-clothed young man who brought Xiao Shi and the others said respectfully to the four people in front.

As he spoke.

Everyone realized that the four people in front of them were the four captains of the Night Patrol Department.

The Night Patrol Department is mainly divided into four teams, A, B, C, and D.

Each team has a captain.

His status in the Night Patrol Department is second only to the director.

“Don’t waste time, let’s get started.”

The purple-haired woman, the captain of Team A, said impatiently.

“Yes.”

The black-clothed young man nodded.

He took out the jade slip that he had handed over from the round-faced elder before and looked at the outer disciples.

“Now, those whose names I read, stand in front.”

“Ding Yan.”

In the crowd.

A fat boy walked to the front nervously.

All eyes were focused on this fat boy.

With so many eyes focused on him, the fat boy couldn’t help but get more nervous.

The black-clothed youth read the jade slip.

“Ding Yan, 16 years old, five missions! Three of them were level 5 missions, one was level 4 mission, and one was level 3 mission.”

The four captains in front heard this, the gray-haired old man as the captain of Team B, and the two-meter-tall strong man as the captain of Team C, all nodded slightly.

“It’s just average.”

“It’s OK.”

The captain of Team C pondered for a moment and said in a muffled voice.

“Come to my Team C.”

“…Yes!”

The fat boy named Ding Yan nodded obediently, stood behind the captain of Team C, and joined Team C.

This is the practice for every batch of outer disciples when they come to the Night Patrol Division.

The four captains will make their choices based on the missions they have performed in the past and their strength and cultivation.
