754: C754 Departure Hall

C754 Departure Hall

Ah Ji was stunned. Before he could react, a figure had already pressed down on him.

It was a cloudy night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Meifeng woke up before dawn.

Her face was rosy, and she had an indescribable temperament. She meticulously made Ah Ji a breakfast.

When Ah Ji woke up, breakfast had just been prepared. He could smell delicious food across the door.

"Where's father?" Ah Ji got up to wash up and found that his father had already woken up.

Hearing Ah Ji's words, Zhang Meifeng shook her head and said, "I don't know. When I woke up, Father had already left home."

Ah Ji nodded, and without further investigation, he began to eat his breakfast.

It was the best breakfast he had ever had, but the thought of parting with his wife and leaving his home made him sad.

Although he couldn't recall his memories from before, his wife and father had been very good to him ever since he came here. He had gradually accepted this place, and now that he was suddenly leaving, he was truly reluctant to part with them.

After breakfast, Old Village Head and the rest were already waiting outside the door. Ah Ji did not stay any longer. After bidding Zhang Meifeng farewell, he went out.

"Ah Ji, this time you must succeed in going to the Sword Hall!"

"That's right. The lives and possessions of all of us villagers have all been bet on you."

The moment he walked out of the door, Ah Ji was surrounded by a group of people.

Old Village Head looked at Ah Ji smilingly and said, "Ah Ji, these are the dishes and food that we prepared for you. They are all in this bag. You can take them with you."

"I remember, if I entered Sword Hall, I would have come back earlier."

Hearing Old Village Head's words, Ah Ji nodded his head and then looked into the distance. He was waiting for his father to come back so he could say goodbye.

Time slowly passed, but Uncle Xie did not appear.

From the start of the farewells, everyone gradually became impatient, especially now that time was not to be wasted, Black Wind Hall could bring people over at any time. If Ah Ji could enter Sword Hall a minute earlier, then their danger would be reduced by a bit.

"Ah Ji, where did your dad go?"

"Did the old man hide because he couldn't bear to say goodbye?"

"How about you leave first, Ah Ji. We'll take care of your father."

They were all eager to see Ah Ji leave as soon as possible. As for whether Ah Ji could say goodbye to his father, what did it have to do with them?

"I must wait for my father." Ah Ji shook his head.

He did not know if he could enter the Sword Hall this time, and also did not know when the Black Wind Hall would counterattack. If he did not bid his father farewell this time, he would regret it for the rest of his life if he met with any mishap.

After a very long time, many people grew impatient. Even the Village Chief started to frown.

"Where did this guy run off to?" Old Village Head muttered. Just when he was considering to send someone to look for him, a running figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

Uncle Xie ran into the village. When he saw Ah Ji who hadn't left yet, he revealed a knowing smile and said while gasping for breath, "I was lucky, I made it in time."

"Ah Ji is about to leave the village. Where did you run off to?!" Old Village Head glared at Uncle Xie.

Hearing Old Village Head's words, Uncle Xie chuckled and took out a bright curved knife from the bamboo basket behind him. He said, "How could I not have a weapon to defend myself when I'm outside!"

"Take it. With your current strength, ordinary people shouldn't be a match for you." Uncle Xie put the scimitar in Ah Ji's hand.2

"Uncle, you couldn't have come to town early in the morning to buy it, right?" Someone asked, staring at the scimitar with a burning gaze.

There were no blacksmiths in their village. If they wanted to forge weapons, they could only go to the town to buy one.

However, it would take at least an hour for Uncle Xie to go to the town, and this time, it would take at least three hours. It was only around 9 in the morning, could it be that Uncle Xie ran to the town in the middle of the night?

"Father, I will definitely enter the Sword Hall." Ah Ji felt a bit sad. He didn't expect that his father would come to town in the middle of the night just to forge a weapon for him.

Hearing Ah Ji's words, Uncle Xie's face revealed a proud expression, and said: "Good, good, if my son can enter Sword Hall, I will invite everyone in the village to go eat wine in town!"

Under the joyous cheers, Ah Ji set foot on the road towards Sword Hall.

It was completely impossible to tell that this was a village that had been targeted by the Black Wind Hall and could be annihilated at any moment.

Sword Hall was a famous sect in the surrounding ten kilometers.

Different from the new sects that had their spiritual energy restored, the Sword Hall had existed here for a long time.

However, following the recovery of the spirit energy, the entire territory entered an era where everyone was fighting, and the Sword Hall returned to the eyes of the public.

Almost every day, there were people who came to pay respects and wanted to join Sword Hall. However, not everyone would have such a fortuitous encounter, and most people who came wouldn't even be able to see the entrance of the mountain.

It was a good thing that the Sword Hall was not too far away from the Xiejia Village. After trudging all the way, Ah Ji's food was sufficient at first, but after a while, he also gradually ran out of food and water.

Finally, just as the food was about to run out, Ah Ji came to the Qingfeng City.

Qingfeng City was the only city within ten kilometers of the surrounding villages. Although it was a small city, it could still be considered flourishing for the people of the surrounding villages.

Sword Hall were within the range of the Qingfeng City, but they were not within the city, and were instead within the Sword Aurora Valley, located in the western suburbs of the city.

Ah Ji had already finished all the food on his body. He was prepared to replenish his Qingfeng City and head into the Sword Dawn Valley, just in time to inquire about some things related to Sword Hall.

He picked a random restaurant and ordered a pile of food for a good meal.

This was the first full meal he had had since leaving the village. Before, he hadn't eaten much, so he had to eat to his heart's content.

"Have you guys heard? The Sword Hall will open the gates tomorrow to accept disciples!"

"Yeah, I heard that too."

"I heard that the children of our Qingfeng City will all be sent to participate in the trial. If we can finish the trial and enter the Sword Hall, then we will truly be able to make it out alive."

Just as Ah Ji was about to leave after eating his fill, he suddenly heard the few men at the table next to him discussing about Sword Hall. Thus, he sat down again and pricked up his ears to listen quietly.

Right now, he knew nothing about Sword Hall. He had to understand more in order to have more confidence in joining Sword Hall, otherwise, if he recklessly and blindly went to Sword Hall, he would probably suffer quite a big loss.

"Sigh, it's a pity that the Sword Hall's trial is too difficult, otherwise I would have already wanted to give it a try."

"Who knows, then the trial not only depends on talent, but also on personality. In short, it's too difficult, and every month, Sword Hall will open the gates and accept disciples, but how many people can actually enter the Sword Hall?"
