From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 89 Entering the Inner Door

Outer city district.

Jiang Chen left Qin Chang's house and walked back to Shuiqingfang.

"The power of Qianlong is quite great..."

The hidden force is different from the obvious force. The obvious force has an instantaneous burst, while the hidden force can achieve the effect of "leading but not releasing".

Judging from the result of tonight's sneak attack, his own Iron Bone-level strength, coupled with the dark energy technique "Hidden Dragon", can easily kill a warrior with Iron Bone minor accomplishment...

He walked all the way back to the Shuiqingfang courtyard and pushed the door open.

At this time, Chu Dong had already fallen asleep in the west wing, but he had boiled hot water for himself in the bathroom.

After killing Qin Chang, Jiang Chen felt refreshed. After washing up, he began to rest.

……

early morning.

Qinchang Residence.

At this time, since Zhong Hui was not there, several captains from the North City Guard could only report to the Liuguang Sect's inner law enforcement hall.

This is the hall that controls the entire Liuguang Sect's rules and punishments. It has great authority in the Liuguang Sect, and its deacons are all masters who came out of the inner sect.

At this moment, Qu Zuo, the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, stood beside the corpse, examining the scars on the corpse with indifferent eyes.

Several captains from the North City Guards who had drunk with Qin Chang last night stood aside with some trepidation.

Qu Zuo is from the inner sect. He is in his early forties and has perfected his cultivation.

"Last night, you just watched that man kill Qin Chang and walk away?"

Several captains opened their mouths, not knowing how to start.

Qu Zuo sneered and scolded, "Waste!"

When the captains heard this, even though they were angry, they could only endure it.

It’s not just because the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall has a high status.

And also because, I can’t beat him!
In fact, even if all of them joined together, they would probably not be a match for Qu Zuo.

From copper skin to willow tendons, they are called low-level warriors.

The strength itself is low, and the difference between the small realms is not that big.

As long as there is a breakthrough in martial arts, it will be easy to kill the enemy across small realms.

But when he reached the Tiegu level, he was considered to have entered the ranks of mid-level warriors.

At this time, the difficulty of improving cultivation suddenly increased.

Even a small realm becomes extremely difficult to cross.

Many captains in the Outer City Guards who had not yet entered the inner gate had reached a small level of Iron Bones when they were in their forties or fifties.

After becoming a captain, it is basically difficult to get promoted further.

More than 90% of the captains of the outer city are only of the Iron Bones minor level!
It’s because it’s too difficult to upgrade the Iron Bone level!
The vast majority of warriors who have reached the Iron Bones level or even higher levels are disciples who come from the inner sect and have greater talents and resources.

but,

Corresponding to the difficulty of cultivation, the increase in strength after crossing a small realm is also huge.

Every time you break through a small realm, your own strength will be greatly increased.

Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary warriors to surpass their opponents by crossing a small realm.

Not only are the martial arts skills of these captains two levels lower than Qu Zuo's, but their martial arts realm is also far inferior to his.

If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid Qu Zuo will kill him instantly.

Several captains were so angry that they dared not say anything and could only bow their heads and remain silent.

Qu Zuo sneered and ordered directly: "Within half a day, collect all the movements of Qin Chang during this period for me."

"First it was Bu Hao, then it was Qin Chang. I want to see who is looking for death and dares to kill my Liuguang Sect's people!"

Several captains bowed helplessly: "Yes."

……

The sky outside the window is clear.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes, stretched his muscles, put on his clothes, then went to the dining table, ate two bowls of porridge and rice made by Chu Dong, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

Naturally, he didn't know what was happening in Qin Chang's house at the moment.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't care.

He didn't reveal any trace.

Even if Liuguang Sect doubts him in the future, he will have already entered the inner gate of Longhu Sect by then.

The Liuguang Sect cannot reach into the inner sect of the Longhu Sect.

We walked along the road and came to the nameless bookstore east of Shunanfang.

Step into the entrance hall.

This time he did not use the Qigong practitioner's "breath-retaining" method to conceal his own aura.
Old man Feng behind the counter raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen, and then his eyes lit up.

"You've broken through to Iron Bones so quickly?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Old Man Feng's expression suddenly became excited.

He rubbed his hands excitedly.

I originally thought that it would be good enough if Jiang Chen could break through to the Iron Bone level before the end of the year, but I didn't expect that this kid would still exceed my expectations.

"Well, my baby is finally back!"

Jiang Chen asked in confusion: "What?"

He didn't know about the bet between Old Man Feng and Feng Ruxin. Old Man Feng waved his hand: "It's okay."

Then he walked out from behind the counter and walked out of the bookstore: "Come on, follow me to the inner gate after you break through."

Jiang Chen immediately followed him out of the bookstore, looking at the old man's hunched back and thinking silently.

It turns out that Old Man Feng is also a high-ranking member of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

But even now, he still can't seem to see the strength of this old man...

Afterwards, Old Man Feng closed the door of the bookstore and led Jiang Chen forward into the inner city to the Dragon and Tiger Sect’s headquarters.

……

"Please show your token." The Dragon and Tiger Sect disciple guarding the main gate did not seem to know Old Man Feng, and said to Jiang Chen and the others.

Old Man Feng then fumbled around for a while and took out a token.
Then he demonstrated it to the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect at the gate.

The disciple's expression changed slightly, and he quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Greetings, Elder."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became strange.

This old man is actually an elder? !

So what did he do in that bookstore on weekdays? Was he sweeping the floor there?
Old Man Feng nodded lightly and then walked into the door.

And Jiang Chen followed.

We walked forward and came to a hall with a plaque with the words "Miscellaneous Affairs Hall" engraved in large letters.

Jiang Chen also knew the origin of "Za Shi Tang".

After an outer sect disciple has broken through to the Iron Bone level, he or she will come to the "Miscellaneous Affairs Hall" to register their identity. After being recorded, they will receive resources and then "become a disciple."

Different from the "free-range" model for outer disciples, the Dragon and Tiger Sect will arrange for masters to provide guidance to these talented inner disciples.

If one's talent is average and he is over 30 years old, he will basically be assigned an inner sect deacon of the fifth level of martial arts to be his master.

If one is under 25 years old, he or she can be considered to have excellent talent. If he or she registers, he or she may be favored by the elders of the sect and selected as a disciple.

As for someone like me who has become strong at the age of 18...

Jiang Chen didn't know what the specific situation would be.

At this time, Old Man Feng said, "Go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to register your identity first, and wait for me here when you are done."

"What?" Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

Old Man Feng patted Jiang Chen's shoulder with a smile and said, "You don't need to become my disciple. From today on, I will be your master."

Jiang Chen: “Ah?”

"What? Do you think being my apprentice is unfair to you?"

Old Man Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know how many people wanted to become my disciple?"

"Forehead……"

Jiang Chen blinked.

I do not know.

Old Man Feng waved his hand and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't know now. You will know the benefits of being my apprentice in the future."

"You go in and register first. I'll be out for a while and come back later."

Having said that, he left in a hurry.

When he left, he was still muttering excitedly: "My baby is finally coming back..."

"Fine……"

Jiang Chen also looked indifferent.

Anyway, since I started practicing, I have never relied on the master's guidance, so I don't care much about it.

He stepped into the errand hall, walked to the counter, and spoke to a butler:

"Outer sect disciple Jiang Chen has entered the Iron Bone realm and is here to register his identity at the inner sect."

"Jiang Chen?"

The deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall had a cold expression on his face and looked up at Jiang Chen.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

The deacon's cold expression softened and he nodded: "Okay, Junior Brother, please wait a moment."

Then he turned and went into the inner hall, standing there thinking for a while.

Previously, Elder Shi Du, who was in charge of the Dragon and Tiger Trial in the Inner Sect, and Elder Qian Wenye, who was in charge of the Merit Hall,
These two elders had sent people to him one after another and mentioned "Jiang Chen".

If Jiang Chen comes to the inner gate, he will be directly "selected" as their disciple.

In the past, such "internal appointments" were not uncommon.

Generally speaking, in such situations, he would arrange it directly and it wouldn't be a big deal.

But the problem now is,

Right now, two elders are "selecting" a disciple at the same time...

Then it would be difficult for him to make a decision directly.

No matter who you choose, you will offend the other party, but you don't want him to be in a difficult situation.

It would be better to let these two elders fight for it themselves...

The deacon waved his hand with a strange look on his face, calling two inner disciples over.

"You two, go find Elder Qian Wenye and Elder Shi Du respectively."

"Just say that the disciple they want has come to the inner sect..."
