Chapter 9: Night Patrol Division

Thunder rumbled!

A loud thunder reverberated between heaven and earth. The clouds in the sky were stacked and filled with thickness. Bolts of lightning tore through the sky and surged into the world with the rain.

Under the rain, the entire world was dark and filled with oppression. In the storm, whimpers could be heard, as if they were crying about the cruelty of this chaotic world.

The climate of the Seven Star Province was humid, and it rained all year round. As one of the thirteen provinces of the Cangyan Territory, although it was only a small border province, it was vast and rich in resources.

There were a total of three major sects in the Seven Star Province.

They were—

Feiyuan Palace, Seven Stars Sect, Red Tiger Sect.

Among them, Feiyuan Palace was not only the strongest sect among the three great sects, but it was also the power that controlled the entire Seven Star State.

The Seven Stars Sect and the Red Tiger Sect were only subsidiary sects of the Feiyuan Palace. The Red Tiger Sect was located in the southern part of the Seven Star Province. The sect was built on a huge mountain peak. Buildings surrounded the mountain, looking extraordinary.

With the mountainside as the boundary, it formed a dividing line that divided the entire sect into upper and lower sects. The outer sect disciples were all in the lower sects below the mountainside. Only inner disciples and core disciples were qualified to enter the upper sect.

This was also the reason why Xiao s.h.i.+ had never seen an inner disciple after being in the sect for so long. Apart from their respective sects, the three great sects also controlled some cities.

As the main city controlled by the Red Tiger Sect, Golden Cloud City had always been prosperous under the management of the Red Tiger Sect.

There were not many cities in the entire Seven Star Province. Every city was extremely important. Especially in this chaotic world, being able to live in the city was undoubtedly the goal and dream of many people.

After all, compared to the wilderness without any order, compared to the danger and chaos outside, the city was undoubtedly much safer. Although there would be fighting and deaths in the city.

Hence, living in the city became the dream of many people.

Many people entered the city every day, and many people did not want to leave after coming. But every city had its own rules. They couldn't stay just because they wanted to.

When Xiao s.h.i.+ and the other outer court disciples arrived at Golden Cloud City, it was already afternoon. As soon as he entered the city, Xiao s.h.i.+ heard the bustling noise.

Even on a rainy day, the entire Golden Cloud City was very lively.

The person in charge of leading these outer sect disciples to the Golden Cloud City this time was a short, round-faced man from the upper sect. It seemed to be an elder of the upper sect.

After entering the Golden Cloud City, he led everyone all the way to a magnificent building. This building was located in the center of Golden Cloud City and was very eye-catching.

The building was pitch-black and cold. It was clearly a busy city, but no pedestrians approached. They all circled around, as if there was something terrifying here that made them not dare to approach.

Above the door of the building was a plaque. On the plaque were three cold black words.

Night Patrol Division!

At this moment, a young man in black was standing at the entrance of the Night Patrol Division. When he saw Xiao s.h.i.+ and the others, he immediately went forward and greeted the round-faced elder respectfully.

The round-faced elder nodded. He glanced at Xiao s.h.i.+ and the others behind him and said calmly, "This is the Night Patrol Division, and it's also where you will work. You will work here for three years. After three years, whether you can be promoted to an inner sect disciple will depend on your own luck."

After the round-faced elder finished speaking, he made a simple handover with the black-clothed youth. Then, he did not stay here for long and left directly.

"Follow me." The black-clothed youth waved at everyone and led them into the Night Patrol Division.

The Night Patrol Division was very s.p.a.cious.

On the way, Xiao s.h.i.+ and the others also saw some night patrollers.

These night patrollers were all wearing the same black clothes and wide black bamboo hats on their heads. Most of them had cold expressions and were walking hurriedly.

When they pa.s.sed by Xiao s.h.i.+ and the others, the powerful blood and qi emitted by these Night Patrollers clearly showed that their cultivation was basically between Martial Entry-Level Six and Level Seven.

Usually, when determining the specific cultivation of a Martial Entry-Level martial artist, other than fighting, it was mainly determined by the strength of their blood and qi.

Every level of the Martial Entry-Level corresponded to different levels of blood and qi. The higher the level, the stronger one's qi and blood. Although this method of judgment was not 100% accurate, the error would not be too great.

Unless the other party had some treasure that hid his Qi and blood, or had undergone body tempering. After successfully tempering his body, his Qi and blood would be compressed and would not show his true cultivation.

However, these two situations were extremely rare.

"So powerful!"

Many outer sect disciples exclaimed softly after sensing the blood and qi fluctuations of these night patrollers. After going around a few pavilions and small paths, Xiao s.h.i.+ and the others 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 shocking blood and qi fluctuation from these four people.

It far exceeded the night patrollers they had seen before.

The one sitting on the far left was a purple-haired woman with a lazy posture. She was about 20 years old, had fair skin, and a cold temperament. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her slender and long legs were propped up on the chair, swaying gently. She only glanced at the group of outer sect disciples who had arrived and stopped paying attention to them.

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

The old man's eyes were long and narrow, and there was a black spot on his face. He didn't smile, and he seemed to be very strict as he seriously sized up the group of outer court disciples.

The third was a tall, square-faced middle-aged man. He was at least two meters tall. He sat there like an iron tower and looked at the outer sect disciples seriously.

Sitting on the far right was a young man with a smile and a genial expression. He had an expression of interest, as if he was very interested in these new outer sect disciples.

"Captains, these are the outer sect disciples who came to report." The black-robed young man who brought Xiao s.h.i.+ and the others over said respectfully to the four people in front of him.

As he spoke, everyone realized that the four people in front of them were the four captains of the Night Patrol Division.

The Night Patrol Division was mainly divided into four teams: A, B, C, and D. Each team had a captain. Their positions in the Night Patrol Division was 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 young man in black nodded. He took out the jade slip that he had taken from the round-faced elder and looked at the outer sect disciples. "Now, those whose names I read, step forward."

"Ding Yan."

In the crowd, a chubby young man walked to the front nervously.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on this fat youth. Under so many gazes, the fat youth could not help but become even more nervous.

The black-clothed youth looked at the jade slip and read. "Ding Yan, 16 years old, five missions! Three of them were level five missions, one level four mission, and one level three mission."

When the four captains in front heard this, the gray-haired old man, who was the captain of Team B, and the two-meter-tall burly man, who was the captain of Team C, nodded slightly.

"So-so."

"Not bad."

The captain of Team C pondered for a moment and said in a low voice. "Come to Team C."

"…Yes!" The little fatty called Ding Yan nodded obediently and stood behind the captain of Team C, joining him.

This was the custom of every batch of outer sect disciples who came to the Night Patrol Division.

The four captains would choose based on the missions they had carried out in the past and their strength and cultivation.
