A flock of pigeons flew overhead. Their golden bodies were like fans, fanning the scent of the sun.
Below the flock of pigeons, the neighing of horses was heard. A group of about 20 riders galloped from afar, heading towards the capital of Kairong Kingdom.
Among these people, there were men in their prime, but there was also an old man with white hair.
Seeing that the gates of Kairong Kingdom were in sight, the group whistled, and the horses slowed down.
The leader turned around and said, "Granduncle, we're finally here."
The old man was Hsieh Chih-en from the Xie family in Fire Crow Country. Although he was a powerful master at the peak of Level 10 of both internal force, he was old. Moreover, he was not an Innate Master, so he could not draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body. Therefore, after a long journey, he looked particularly tired. Even some of the young cultivators in his family who were at Level 7 of internal force could not compare to him.
At this moment, he looked at the city walls and sighed. "Nuanhang, I'm old now. I can't compare to you."
Xie Nuanhang quickly comforted him. "Granduncle, you'll be able to draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth into your body as long as you successfully break through to the Innate Stage. You'll be able to recover to your youthful state. "
Hsieh Chih-en was silent for a while, then he suddenly said, "I don't know why, but the closer I get to that place, the faster my heart beats. I'm worried that I won't be able to break through my limit and waste such a great opportunity."
Xie Nuanhang's expression changed. He Yiming had promised to help Hsieh Chih-en strengthen his meridians, but whether he could break through to the Innate Stage still depended on his own strength. If his confidence was damaged, he would not be able to break through to the Innate Stage.
He Yiming might not have the patience to do it a second time after he strengthened his meridians.
Therefore, for the Xie family, this was actually their last chance.
As the current patriarch of the Xie family, Xie Nuanhang naturally understood the importance of a Connate expert to the family. At this moment, his expression changed a few times before he comforted, "Granduncle, your Fire and Wood Cultivation Method has already reached perfection. If even you can't succeed, then no one in this world can."
Hsieh Chih-en looked at Xie Nuanhang in surprise, then understood what he was worried about. He laughed and said, "Nuanhang, don't worry. I know that this isn't just about me alone, so I'll definitely do my best …" He paused, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious and solemn. "Only death!"
Xie Nuanhang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the old man had made up his mind.
This time, if he succeeded in breaking through to the Xiantian realm, then so be it. But if he failed, then even if all his meridians were broken, he would not give up.
It wasn't something that anyone could make up their mind to fight for survival in the face of death. However, for Old Master Hsieh Chih-en's age, this was probably the best way.
Xie Nuanhang's lips trembled a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end. The group of people patted their horses and headed towards the city gate.

In the inner courtyard, He Yiming and Yuan Lixun were working hard in the room.
Ever since Yuan Lixun was injured, He Yiming not only changed her medicine on time, but also urged her to practice the Water Cultivation Method.
According to him, he wasn't absolutely sure if he could refine the Face Retaining Pill. But if he wanted to help Yuan Lixun to break through to the Xiantian realm, then he had a certain degree of confidence.
However, the prerequisite was that Yuan Lixun had to cultivate her inner strength to the peak of the tenth level.
To achieve this goal, He Yiming was not stingy with the Golden Elixir. After Yuan Lixun's injuries recovered slightly, he had her swallow the Golden Elixir of Vigor, and used all her strength to refine the Golden Elixir.
The Golden Elixir of Vigor was not very effective for experts above the tenth level of inner strength, but for Yuan Lixun, who was at the seventh level of inner strength, it had an unimaginably great effect.
Under the stimulation of the Golden Elixir of Vigor, Yuan Lixun's inner strength improved by leaps and bounds.
At this point, He Yiming also understood why the Medicine Man had paid special attention to whether or not he had consumed the Golden Elixir of Vigor when he first met him.
It was because for a hidden sect like the Hengshan Sect, which had a legacy of more than three thousand years, it was not difficult to cultivate a master who was at the peak of the Houtian realm as soon as possible.
However, for a master who was at the peak of the Houtian realm who was cultivated in this way, their path of cultivation would be smooth sailing, and they would not encounter any obstacles or bumps. Therefore, even if they reached the peak of the tenth level of inner strength, wanting to smoothly break through to the Xiantian realm was far more difficult than relying on their own strength to steadily advance step by step.
However, He Yiming was different. He had already made up his mind to let Yuan Lixun reach the peak of the tenth level of inner strength as soon as possible, and then under the white stone, he would give her the Xiantian Golden Elixir.
The white stone's radiance was extremely strange. Although it did not have any obvious effect on increasing the speed of Xiantian Zhen Qi, it had an unimaginable special effect on the recovery of Zhen Qi and energy. In addition, sitting under the white stone's radiance, the barrier to breaking through the limit seemed to have weakened a lot.
Although it was not as exaggerated as him, compared to breaking through to the Xiantian realm under normal circumstances, there was still a world of difference.
At this time, He Yiming had already finished his cultivation. After he advanced to the One-Line Heaven realm, not only did the Zhen Qi in all his acupuncture points condense into a rope, but the amount of Zhen Qi also gradually condensed, like a fist, and it was getting tighter and tighter.
Only when this kind of fist reached a certain level, could it display the most powerful power.
However, what he was really concerned about was Yuan Lixun, who was sitting next to him.
This young girl was wholeheartedly immersed in cultivation. Compared to the past, her attitude was a lot more upright, and it was obvious that she was countless times more hardworking than before.
Seeing her like this, He Yiming could not help but bitterly smile in his heart.
In the past, when he told her to cultivate, although she also bowed her head and listened to his orders, she was also somewhat muddling along. This was because she absolutely did not dare to believe that there would be a day when she advanced to the Xiantian realm. Therefore, for her current cultivation speed, she was already very satisfied.
However, when her face was injured, and she knew that only after she became an Xiantian realm powerhouse could she draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth into her body and remove the scars that might be left behind, she became incomparably attentive to cultivation.
Even when He Yiming was not paying attention, she would take the initiative to cultivate, and strive to exert the medicinal power of the Energy Gold Core in her body as much as possible.
The same person, but the change before and after was so great that it was really stupefying and unbelievable.
At this point, He Yiming finally understood that everyone had their own weaknesses. If he could grasp this weakness, then there was no need to spur anything at all, and they would all work hard like old bulls to take the initiative to complete the task that was given to them.
Suddenly, He Yiming's ears twitched twice, and he heard a faint voice coming from outside the courtyard. After listening for a while, he immediately recognized that it was Hsieh Ming-chin, who had come and was talking to the two servants in the courtyard in an extremely low voice.
Ou Yangming smiled and looked at Yuan Lixun, who was still working tirelessly. He exerted force with his legs and quietly left the place.
In just a few ups and downs, he had abruptly appeared in front of the few people.
The two servants were in a dilemma as they did not know if they should report to Ou Yangming. Although He Yiming had said that no one was allowed to disturb him when he was cultivating, Hsieh Ming-chin was obviously different. At the very least, when He Yiming did not alienate him, nobody dared to ignore his influence in front of He Yiming.
Nevertheless, at this moment, their vision blurred, and they could not help but be overjoyed when they saw He Yiming. Since the main character was here, they did not need to worry anymore.
He Yiming nodded at Hsieh Ming-chin, and the two of them walked a few steps closer. He Yiming asked, "Old Master Zhi En has already come?"
Hsieh Ming-chin knew that He Yiming had the Clairvoyant Ear Technique, so it was not strange for him to know the purpose of his visit. At this moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Big Brother, people from our family have come. They said that Great Granduncle, Uncle, and Father have already arrived at the North City Gate, but they were refused entry and could not enter."
He Yiming said in surprise, "Uncle and the others have also come? Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill? "He pondered for a moment and said with a smile," Ming Jin, come with me to welcome Uncle and the others. "
Hsieh Ming-chin nodded blankly. He knew that He Yiming was willing to call him Uncle and was willing to lower himself to welcome Father and the others completely because of him. This made him very moved. At this moment, he really had a kind of undying gratitude towards He Yiming.
However, the matter of the entire Xie family going all out was actually regarded as making a mountain out of a molehill in He Yiming's eyes. This really made him feel the huge gap between him and He Yiming.
In front of He Yiming, he seemed to have become more and more insignificant.
However, he laughed at himself. In the eyes of a powerhouse from One-Line-Sky, those ordinary powerhouses from Hundred Scatter Sky, especially those who had not successfully advanced to the peak of Inner Strength Level Ten, were really nothing.
The two of them walked side by side, and in just a moment, they had already left the embassy area.
A carriage flew in front of them. The two coachmen in front of the carriage were actually masters of Inner Strength Level Nine. They looked at He Yiming with a flattering smile and begged, "Master He, please get in the carriage. No matter where you want to go, we will do our best to rush there."
He Yiming frowned slightly. He knew that this was the consequence of him making a scene in the embassy of Tufan State.
At this time, he was afraid that everyone in the city knew about the conflict between him and Bu Xingcong and the final result, so as long as he wanted to go out, someone would immediately serve him. They were not afraid that someone would hurt him, but they were afraid that someone would be blind and provoke his anger again.
His face sank slightly, but when he saw the fear in the eyes of the two coachmen, He Yiming shook his head and stepped into the carriage.
The two of them were also acting under orders. Why should he make things difficult for them?
The two coachmen showed gratitude in their eyes. One of them asked softly, "Brother Ming Jin, where is Master He going?"
Hsieh Ming-chin sighed in his heart. It was good to follow Big Brother He. Even masters of Inner Strength Level Nine came to flatter him.
He coughed softly and said, "North Gate, hurry up."
The two coachmen's faces changed. Since Hsieh Ming-chin ordered them to hurry up, they absolutely did not dare to hesitate.
One of them pulled out the huge flag of the Master Teacher Hall from the top of the carriage and waved it a few times in the air. The other person let out a shout and waved the huge whip in his hand without moving his arm at all. The whip in his hand crackled loudly with the force of his wrist.
The four horses immediately raised their hooves and galloped towards the North City Gate without any scruples.
They were running in the middle of the main road, which was not a place where ordinary people could walk.
Under the constant wave of a single person's flag, no matter who it was, they would immediately avoid the two sides. Even those hedonistic young masters who were usually arrogant and unafraid of the heavens and earth would obediently give way at this moment.
With Bu Xingcong's lesson in front of them, anyone who was qualified to set foot in the middle of the main road received the strictest warning. During this period of time, even the members of the royal family did not dare to walk on the main road with a swagger.
In the entire Kai Rong Country, there was only one person who was able to run so wildly without any fear.
Therefore, everyone looked at the carriage with a complicated expression. The owner of the carriage had once made the envoy of Tufan Country, one of the three strongest countries in the northwest, suffer a huge loss, and did not dare to take revenge.
Unfortunately, that person was not Kairong Country's protector …
The carriage quickly passed through countless streets, and the North City Gate seemed to be in sight.
He Yiming suddenly smiled and said, "Ming Jin, Uncle and the others are blocked at the gate. Go and welcome them in."
Hsieh Ming-chin was startled and responded excitedly. He lifted the curtain and walked out, saying, "Two big brothers, my father and the others are blocked by your country's soldiers at the gate. Please help me out."
The two carriage drivers smiled and agreed at the same time. Only then did they know that Master He had come out personally to welcome the people of the Xie family. It seemed that Master He not only had a good relationship with Hsieh Ming-chin, but also with the entire Xie family of Fire Crow.
For a moment, the status of the Xie family of Fire Crow rose in their hearts.
※ ※ ※
At the city gate, Xie Nuanhang and the others looked dissatisfied.
After they came to the North Gate, they did not successfully enter the city, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.
The soldiers guarding the gate were also a mix of good and bad people, but there was no lack of people with good eyesight. At a glance, they could see that this group of people was fierce, and looking at their attire, they were not people of Kairong Country, but attendants of an aristocratic family of a small country.
Therefore, they immediately stopped Xie Nuanhang and the others. Regardless of whether Xie Nuanhang begged them with kind words or bribed them with money, these people completely ignored him. Instead, they wanted them to send someone in to notify them and ensure that they could enter. Before that, they could only wait on the spot.
Xie Nuanhang and the others were powerful in Fire Crow Country and had never been treated like this. But this was the capital of Kairong Country after all. Not to mention that there were many Houtian masters, even a Xiantian master from the Great Master Hall was enough to destroy all of them seventeen or eighteen times.
So other than sending people into the city to inform Hsieh Ming-chin, they could only stay outside the city and not act rashly.
However, while they were angry in their hearts, they also admired the strong mental fortitude of the guards.
Only the Capital Guards of the Three Great Nations would be so confident. Even in the face of three Postliminary Stage Ten Internal Strength experts, they were still so determined.
The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time. When the soldiers of Fire Crow Country had such confidence when they met masters from other countries, that would be the time when Fire Crow Country was truly powerful.
However, just as they were feeling emotional, Hsieh Ming-chin had already appeared in the city. Accompanying him was a tall middle-aged man, and this man's attire was quite unique.
When the soldiers at the gate saw this person's attire, they immediately bowed respectfully. Looking at their appearance, they were even more respectful than seeing their own father.
The man's gaze swept across, and his eyes were filled with indescribable majesty. The soldiers at the gate who did not show any signs of weakness in front of Xie Nuanhang did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Let them go …"
With just two short words, the city gates immediately opened, and the guards on the city walls, who were always on guard, immediately relaxed.
When Xie Nuanhang and the others saw how the soldiers changed from arrogance to respect, they all sighed in their hearts.
Hsieh Ming-chin stepped forward and said, "Great Granduncle, Uncle, Father, I've made you wait for a long time."
Hsieh Chih-en and the others nodded. Xie Nuanyi stepped forward and held her son's hand as she asked softly, "Ming Jin, which family is this mister from?"
Someone who could make the soldiers let him enter the city without any hesitation was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Hsieh Ming-chin glanced behind and said softly, "This big brother is from the Hall of Masters."
Everyone was immediately filled with deep respect.
In the entire Kairong Country's sphere of influence, who did not know of the Kairong Country's Hall of Masters?
Xie Nuanhang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "So you're an expert from the Hall of Masters. I apologize for my lack of manners."
The man quickly took a step back and said, "Mister Xie, you're being too polite. I'm just a lowly coachman in the hall. I dare not accept your courtesy."
The dozen or so people from the Xie family gasped. A coachman was already at the ninth stage of inner force. It was unbelievable that the Hall of Masters was filled with hidden talents.
They walked into the city. After walking past a street, they heard hearty laughter. "Old Master Zhi En, Uncle Xie, Second Uncle Xie, how have you been?"
The Xie family members were shocked at first, and some of them even rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They were overjoyed when they confirmed the identity of the person in front of them.
Xie Nuanhang strode forward and bowed deeply to the ground. "Grandmaster He, the Xie family doesn't dare to accept the honor of your presence …"
Behind him, everyone, including Hsieh Chih-en and Hsieh Ming-chin, bowed deeply. At that moment, the excitement in their hearts had reached its peak.
They knew that after that day, the Xie family's reputation in the Fire Crow Country would rise to another level. Their future glory was just around the corner.
