Xue Daoyong, such a heroic figure who had endured the chaos and swept across the Western Regions alone, felt his mind buzzing when he saw this line of words. It was like when he was young, his martial skills were lacking, and he went to the Dangxiang Kingdom in the vast desert. He couldn’t catch his breath and felt like he was lying on a donkey, unable to move. It took a while before he slowly regained his senses. Xue Daoyong blinked and stared at the letter. Then he rubbed his eyes and examined that line of words carefully. He turned it over, looked at it sideways. He felt that this short line of words was actually very long. The more he looked, the more flavorful it was, the more mysterious it became. The old man grinned, his mouth almost stretching to his ears, muttering: "Grandmaster, how old is he today?" Xue Shuangtao said: "He is seventeen years old." Elder Xue glanced at his granddaughter and said: "Seventeen years old, Grandmaster realm." "That means, at the very least, Seven Heavens. Seventeen years old, among the top forty-seven famous generals in the world, at least with a command capability of ten thousand. Truly, the younger generation is terrifying, terrifying indeed..." A trace of complexity appeared on Elder Xue’s face, and he sighed with emotion: "Truly a Chaos Qilin." "After some time, when he fully masters the Grandmaster realm’s power, I’m afraid I won’t be his match, no, even if he were to lead an army to battle now, I certainly couldn’t confront him." "Shuangtao, if he bullies you in the future, grandpa won’t be able to help." Xue Shuangtao was greatly embarrassed and said: "Grandpa, what are you saying?!" The girl finally showed her childhood temperament again, lightly kicking Xue Daoyong’s calf to express her dissatisfaction, to which Xue Daoyong just laughed heartily: "Today is rare, Guan Yi has written, so go and rest more if you wish." Xue Daoyong stood up and walked out unhurriedly, placing the letter into his sleeve, remaining calm. He seldom returned, but now in the court, there were always people asking about Li Guanyi, and some even suggested forming an alliance with Li Guanyi to counter Ying Country. The rightful source is novel fire.net Xue Daoyong would often divert the matter or deliberately say that Li Guanyi was unqualified, merely lucky, claiming that anyone’s son could achieve such feats if put into that position. Then in his heart, he would say, "Those good-for-nothings from your family are far worse than my family’s Qilin’er." Today Xue Daoyong calmly and leisurely walked through the Xue Family, wearing ordinary clothes in Guan Yi City, found the old physician at Huichun Hall, took a sip of wine, and when returning home, told the driver Zhao Dabing, Manager Qu of the Clothing Workshop, and others. That today, everyone in the Xue Family would receive an extra month’s salary. Zhao Dabing was overjoyed and said: "Ah? Sir, is today some kind of joyous occasion?" Xue Daoyong smiled faintly and said: "Nothing much, just seeing your hard work, I wanted to offer you some extra pay." Then, with wide sleeves, he walked unhurriedly through the corridor, returning to his residence under the astonished and respectful gazes of others. Xue Daoyong suddenly clenched his fist, ran wildly, looked up, laughing silently, even losing his shoes. In his heart, there were various emotions: the joy of an elder witnessing a younger one’s growth, the exhilaration of a martial artist seeing the youth catching up to him, and more so the pleasure of being one of the heroes in this world who proves his sharp judgment by betting everything and winning, reveling in the gambler’s ecstasy! All heroes have a gambler’s spirit! Previously, Li Guanyi had the personal martial skills that were not considered top-notch in that era’s flaw. Now, even that flaw is remedied. The momentum has been achieved! The vast desert of the Western Regions, boundless. Banners fluttered fiercely, and the wind blew across the land with a severe, chilling aura. The killing intent grew stronger. Five thousand Qie Xue Army surrounded Daqi Village, all elite of the Western Regions, with fierce and icy gazes, each thousand led by a Vice General of the Third Layer Heaven. The leading general was of the Sixth Layer Heaven realm— This was within various forces, a level that could stand alone; Sixth Layer Heaven, a martial artist with one in ten thousand aptitude, extremely valiant, receiving resources, advancing step by step in martial practices and mastering military strategies, reaching this realm at about forty years old. In individual combat, they do not lose to the top experts in the Martial World. In commanding troops, when the killing aura flows and changes, even the so-called Grandmaster must avoid confrontation, and now he came here to subdue one similar individual, with the main general Cheriji taking a sip of water, calmly gazing at that martial sect. Cheriji, one of the three famous generals among the Qiang Tribe. In the world’s Famous General List, he could be ranked around eighty plus. This included areas like the Western Regions, Central Plains in Chen Country, Ying Country, Jiangnan, the grasslands, and the vast Northern Border, encompassing all battle-hardened warriors’ rankings. Those who could be listed were all formidable generals. Dispersing this hundred individuals might hardly suffice for the Western Regions’ Thirty-six Tribes on the vast land. Ordinary clans might not have a single famous general. And Daqi Village was merely a secluded martial sect of over a hundred people, including those with no martial skills, hired to handle chores; merely about two hundred people, many of whom were merely Second Layer Heaven, with few even reaching Third Layer Heaven. The village chief of Daqi Village was just an old man of the Fifth Layer Heaven realm. Holding a long spear, he might fare well in Martial World skirmishes, but encountering this military formation meant it would be over swiftly. This Daqi Village could also be considered an old sect in the Martial World, about five hundred years ago, when General Xue broke through the Western Buddha Country, it already existed; only back then it was in the Northern Border, where the village chief with a long spear faced off against General Xue and ultimately failed. This grand sect ended up with interrupted heritage, the sect scattered, disciples dispersed far and wide, with one lineage landing in the Western Regions over time, gradually losing the glorious prestige of their ancestors, and now it was merely a second-rate force in the Martial World.
