Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Azure Dragons (Updated)

Seeing that Isabella suddenly woke up and asked for Alexander, everyone's heart jump a beat. The same thought should have flashed past everyone's mind this time: This is bad, how should we explain to her.

Of course, this applied to everyone except our innocent Little Black. Little Black looked at Isabella who had just woke up and told her everything while the others pretend to be occupied with something else.

Fortunately, Isabella did not get worked up as everyone expected, which calmed their anxious hearts down. If Isabella were to get worked up, all of them would be helpless against the situation. The only thing they know is cultivating, fighting and killing, something like consoling a girl and stuff is a tall ordeal for them.

Isabella gave everyone a broad smile as she said out aloud "I expected it, I knew that he isn't simple. The demeanor he gives off, gives someone the feeling of assurance, that's what made me realise his uniqueness."

At the Nirvana sect, Alexander who had showed his true looks actually shocked everyone. Never in their mind would they have expected him to look like this

Not only is Alexander muscular, but with the scroll in hand which has changed to a heavy halberd and already at the high rare grade; the dominating aura that he's giving off, everyone felt like as though as if their life is in danger.

Alexander struck his halberd down to the ground, which caused the tiles in the palace below him to actually crack and shatter.

Shouting at everyone at the top of his lungs, he announced "From today onward, the Azure Dragons will be formed! We'll become the spear to clear the way for our lord! We'll become the dragon to soar the skies with our master! We'll rid the world of evil for the peace of the world! Who is willing to join me!"

His rallying speech sent everyone into a high state as the same loud cheer started to resonance in the main hall from a small group of people.

"We are the Azure Dragons who serve our lord!"

Again and again, the small group of nine people actually covered the voice of everyone in the hall, showing their determination to join the army.

With this, the brief meeting is over. After all the disciples have returned to their residence except the nine who had stayed behind to join the army, only Nightin and Alexander were left.

Nightin told Alexander "Before you leave, do remember to fix the palace tiles..."

Alexander put his hand behind his head as he apologised "Um, I'm sorry sect master. You see, I got too agitated, I'll get it fixed right away."

Nightin told Alexander "I'll be leaving the sect for a period of time, but I'll definitely be back before the tournament."

Alexander looked at him as he asked "Why? Our sect is at the peak of its development right now. We need you here with us."

Nightin shook his head to the sides and told Alexander "I need to get stronger, that's all. Before I leave, I have two tasks for the Azure Dragons. First, eliminate all the bandits in this area and protect the civilians if needed. Second, If the beast tide comes again, you're given the authority to lead every disciple to assist the Cloud Moon City."

Before Alexander could say anything, Nightin had already taken his leave and flew off on his sword.

Standing on his sword floating above the mountain peak, he asked himself "This sure is a exciting world. Now then, where should I go?"

Taking off to the east, he flew past many villages and finally arrived at the next nearest city before the arrival of the moon.

Landing on the city entrance, he tried to enter only to be stopped by the guards.

One of the guards holding a spear told him "If you wish to enter the Breezy City, a entrance fee of one spirit stone is needed.

Spirit stones, the currency used in this world which can also be used to speed up a cultivator's cultivation speed.

Spirit stones are divided into four grades, low grade, middle grade, high grade and peak grade. In this world, low grade spirit stones are the ones used as currency.

Taking out a spirit stone which he had received hundred of from the low grade sects tournament,he entered the city and found a inn to stay.

Upon entering the city, the chattering of people could be heard. Compared to the Breezy city, the Cloud Moon city can be treated as nothing.

This is the difference between a low grade city and a high grade city. In terms of size, a high grade city is at least a hundred times bigger,in terms of resources, the two can't even be compared.

While low grade spirit stones can be found everywhere in a high grade city, low grade spirit stones were treated as a rare treasure in the low grade cities.

With this, there's no way for the low grade cities to catch up while the higher grades cities increase in strength rapidly.

"Hey, have you heard of the recent news? The beast tide approaching our city this time if of the peak fifth grade!"

"Holy cow! Are you serious? Will our defense be able to hold?"

"I'm not sure either, the attack this time is of a much greater scale compared to the ones our city have defended against in the past."

Hearing this, Nightin gained some information and knew that the beast tide would be reaching their hands out to here as well, within at most a week, the war will break out.

Not only that, after gathering more information from the passersby, he learnt about the existence of a reward system. Before the war breaks out, every defending cultivator will receive a token from them.

On the token, their name and demon beasts killed will be recorded which will then be converted to points based on the conversion rate.

Nightin walked up to a nearby youth in the inn and asked him "I'm sorry,but may I know how I can apply for a token?"

The man who was playing around with a dagger in his told him "Just walk up to the registration hall and you'll find it."

This will be awkward, I don't even know where the registration hall is...

Nightin had no choice but to ask the youth again "I'm sorry but,where is the registration hall?"

The youth smiled and throw an apple towards Nightin, which he caught easily with one hand.

"Not bad, few people of my age can receive an apple from me that easily. How about this, join me for a drink first. I'll be heading to the registration hall after this."

Nightin sat down and poured himself a cup of wine as well. Taking up his cup, he lifted it above his head towards the youth to show respect, with the youth doing the same.

"Damn, this is some strong wine." Nightin exclaimed. He had confidence that most people would collapse from just a sip of this wine,if it weren't for his strong cultivation,he would already have fainted.

To the youth, Nightin felt like an person surrounded by a aura which is constantly whirling around him. Even with his cultivation,he could not see through the man opposite of him right now.

"I'm Aiden Williams, you can just call me Aiden. I'm fifteen this year and to let you in on a secret, I'm already a martial spirit."

Nightin smiled at him as he gave a formal introduction as well "The name's Nightin Gale, you can just call me Nightin. I'm fifteen this year as well and am also a martial spirit."

"Hell yea man! Finally met someone who can contest against me as a rival!" Aiden jumped out in joy as he smashed the table,if not for Nightin who stabled it quickly,the cups and wine would have fallen onto the ground.

Aiden continued "Hey, how many weapon energies have you condensed already? I've already condensed out 567 of them, within a year, I'll become a third class assassin."

Nightin's interest was sparked when he heard the word assassin, something which his sect hasn't established yet. Even so, Nightin decided to continue checking on Aiden first before deciding whether to take him in or not.

If Aiden possess to be a threat or anything,he has no choice but to not take him in. Elites may be important for the sect's development and growth,but not if they are a traitor who will turn their blades against the sect.
