1186 Words
The four human shadows moved swiftly to leave Xia Yu City without anyone noticing. They were Grandpa Zhou, Nalan Jieruo, Yuan Liong, and Murong Qiu.
On this trip, they deliberately did it at night so as not to attract attention. They also choose not to use horses when out of town, this will make it easier for them to move freely.
They traveled all night without stopping, only taking a short break in the morning, then resumed their journey.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect normally could be reached within a two-day journey, this time, they could shorten the time to a little more than a day, and the group didn't slack off in the slightest while traveling.

The Heavenly Dragon Sect is a first-rate Sect for the Southern Region, with a very strategic position.
This sect was founded on a mountain peak, where the mountain itself was called Dragon Mountain because it was very tall and resembled the head of a sleeping dragon.
The peak of Dragon Mountain had beautiful small hills with abundant natural energy, on top of these hills stood the buildings of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
To reach Dragon Mountain Peak, a spiral staircase has been made with hundreds of steps leading to the sect gate. Above the gate was boldly inscribed the words “Heavenly Dragon Sect.” Gives the impression of the authority of the sect itself.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect has been around for thousands of years. Their number of disciples is numerous and of varying degrees.
In the past few years, since Song Ki took office as the sect's new Patriarch, Song Ki brought about great changes, especially in terms of recruiting new disciples.
He set a policy, each new recruit is not determined by the level of cultivation, after registering and passing the sect entrance examination, if the talent is good enough and strong determination will be declared a temporary outer disciple and a chance to become a core disciple.
Needless to say, even though he was only an outer disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, his prestige was already very high in the Southern region.
The gains that outer sect disciples earn are also extraordinary, with cultivation averaged at the Early Stage Earth Realm, as well as the resources that the sect provides are also extremely abundant.
Song Ki's new arrangement and the formation of the Heavenly Dragon Outer Sect brought great blessings to the Southern Region. So that in just a few years, the Heavenly Dragon Sect developed very rapidly, also giving rise to many new talents in the area at the foot of Dragon Mountain.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect had several Elders with extremely legendary names. For example, Song Ki is the Patriarch and all policies are determined by him. However, the outer disciples didn't know Song Ki's face, they only knew his name.
Just like people who know Dragons, but have never seen a real Dragon.
It was the same with several Sect Elders, their names were very well known in the sect. But, they were extremely mysterious, reportedly these Elders' cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Realm.
These elders headed their respective fields, Elder Zhou Yun or Grandpa Zhou headed the Sect Library Bureau, Elder Mu Yuan headed the Law Enforcement Bureau, Elder Yang Chen headed the Outer Sect, and Elder Liu Kang headed the Artifact and Pill Store.
Among these Elders, Grandpa Zhou was the least favored by the other Elders, in their view Grandpa Zhou had the lowest cultivation, but Grandpa Zhou was also the most respected by Patriarch Song.
Even! Patriarch Song did not hesitate to ask Grandpa Zhou's opinion on everything.
In fact, among all the Sect Elders, Grandpa Zhou was the most mysterious person, both in terms of demeanor, Martial Arts, and cultivation. Perhaps only Patriarch Song knew that Grandpa Zhou's cultivation was the highest of them all.
He was in a different realm so when he mingled with people, no one could guess his cultivation realm. Some guessed in the Heavenly Realm, and some guessed in the Heavenly Realm.
Fortunately, Grandpa Zhou's temper was not as violent as his youth. He is too lazy to take care of small things like maintaining his ego and big name.
When Grandpa Zhou's group returned to the sect, many faces looked at them. Grandpa Zhou didn't care, he immediately escorted Yuan Liong to the male disciple's residence and gave Yuan Liong the inner disciple identity token.
Grandpa Zhou also ordered Yuan Liong to report to the Library Bureau and Artifact Bureau so that he could obtain the Martial Arts Book and resources for cultivation. Then he took Murong Qiu and Nalan Jieruo away with him.
The sect designated residence for Yuan Liong was located on a small hill four hundred spears away from the Sect Main area. There stood three simple huts, two of which were already occupied by disciples who had already entered the sect.
The place is beautiful with an abundant natural aura, ten spears away from the hut there is a small creek and a practice yard.
When Grandpa Zhou left Yuan Liong there, the two old disciples immediately introduced themselves, they tried to familiarize themselves with the new college brother.
One of these two disciples was named Ye Xuan, the person was too active and excited. While the eldest was named He Fei, he was a little secretive and too serious, a person who didn't talk much, and was the complete opposite of Ye Xuan.
The excited Ye Xuan explained many things about the sect to Yuan Liong. Ye Xuan also explained that the first to live on this hill was He Fei.
“College juniors! This Timber! He's always stiff and not fun to talk to.” Ye Xuan said, pointing at He Fei and teasing him.
“Junior! If something goes wrong, I'll defend you later.” Ye Xuan continued as she patted herself on the chest.
“Well! Junior will always remember and ask college seniors for help!” Yuan Lion also replied in a friendly manner.
“Junior rest first! Get rid of fatigue and stretch back tired muscles after a long journey! Don't listen too much to this bucket. You'll be left far behind if you hear this Bucket talk too much!” He Fei cut off the conversation between Yuan Liong and Ye Xuan, warning Yuan Liong of Ye Xuan's nature.
At first, Yuan Liong was a little cautious, but when the two seniors were friendly and greeted Yuan Liong well. That caution just disappeared, Yuan Liong was carried away by the atmosphere that Ye Xuan had created.
During that brief introduction, Yuan Liong also asked about the cultivation realm of his two seniors, and the answer was surprising, both of his seniors were in the same realm as Yuan Liong.
“Truly the Heavenly Dragon Sect holds many talents! Disciples who have only joined for a year or two are already at the Late Earth Realm.” Yuan Liong was admired in his heart.
Such was the small talk and brief introduction between the fellow disciples on the Hill.
