Volume 5, Chapter 13: The Soul Returns Home

As Wu Tianjiao and Jin Changxu fought, a large number of passing merchants had already gathered around, all

drawn by the exciting battle. However, they kept their distance. Two men dressed in white shirts stood motionless, constantly

nodding and pointing. The violent energy emanating from their shirts made them rustle.

The Holy Mother of Thunder Sound also noticed the two, but their hoods were pulled low, obscuring

their faces . However, as a Saint-level expert, she sensed a slight fluctuation of true energy emanating from one of them,

almost imperceptible if one wasn't paying attention. This person was undoubtedly a Royal Martial Master.

The people in a yellow carriage were also suspicious; she noticed a pair of eyes watching

the fight , but the people inside seemed to have noticed something and averted their gaze.

Ying Ying, focused solely on Wu Tianjiao, paid no attention to her surroundings.

Pei Di, having spent years hunting in the wild, also wouldn't notice an ordinary carriage or two

plainly dressed passersby.

Two women sat in the carriage, one of whom, even while inside, concealed her face with a veil.

The other was a strikingly beautiful maid. The veiled girl wore loose-fitting clothes, obscuring

her .

"Miss, I noticed those two people in white seem to be from the Azure Dragon Merchant Guild," the maid said.

"Is that so?" the veiled girl replied. Her voice was melodious and captivating.

"Miss, don't you find it strange? We've encountered five groups from the Azure Dragon Merchant Guild recently.

Lu Sishan and Master are sworn enemies!" the maid said defiantly, seeing her mistress's indifference.

"Then what do you think it is? The Azure Dragon Merchant Guild is powerful and influential, with business in various regions.

It " the veiled girl said casually. Although she answered, her eyes were fixed on the

two fighting, lingering noticeably longer on Wu Tianjiao.

The maid noticed her mistress's unusual behavior and said, "Who is that handsome young man wielding the sword?

He's actually fighting Young Master Jin to a standstill! Young Master Jin's spear skills are second to none in Hanhai County, and even in the entire empire, he's

one of the top young masters, with few rivals among the younger generation. I doubt he can withstand Young Master Jin's second

move."

"Is that so? I'm not so sure." Although the masked girl said this, she was also skeptical.

She knew how powerful the Jin family's spear skills were. Jin Changxu had inherited his father's skills and joined the army at a young age. Unlike some noble children

who practiced in seclusion at home, he had earned his skills through real battles.

She just didn't know why he was fighting this person here. It seemed like he was risking his life. Of course, she didn't

know that the two were fighting for Princess Yuwen Xiang of Hanhai County, and news of Yuwen Xiang hadn't yet

spread from Iron Dragon City.

"Ah! Heavens! This person struck the spear tip with the tip of his sword a second time! How is that possible?" the maid exclaimed

. It seems she's not completely ignorant of martial arts. To see the sword tip and spear tip clash from this distance is no

ordinary feat. This master and servant duo appear to be quite formidable.

The veiled girl's face is hidden, but her slight tremor just now revealed she wasn't

as .

The other two white-clad figures were unaware that while they were observing others, they too were being watched. The

two white-clad figures wore identical clothing; only their height distinguished them. One tall, one short—a perfect match.

"I didn't expect Jin Ji's son to be so skilled in martial arts?" the tall man sighed.

"No, Jin Changxu is indeed very powerful. Even I wasn't confident I could withstand those

two spear . But that swordsman is even more unfathomable; he could defend against the Three Deadly Strikes without moving a muscle," the short man

said.

"Fortunately, we weren't dealing with these two this time, otherwise the outcome would have been unpredictable," the tall man

said.

"You're a Royal Martial Realm expert, what are you afraid of!" the short man said.

"What's the use of martial arts prowess if there's no time to strike? The Soul-Locking Spear truly lives up to its reputation.

That swordsman is quite impressive, but I wonder who he is? We must tell the guild leader to keep an eye on him; he might be an enemy

." The tall man said.

"Look, Jin Changxu is about to unleash his ultimate move! I've never seen the final strike of the Soul-Locking Spear technique before." The short man

said.

"Miss, is Young Master Jin's final strike very powerful?" the maid asked the veiled girl.

"Of course, I've heard that no one can dodge the final strike of the Jin family spear technique. I don't know the specifics.

If I can witness it today, this trip will be worthwhile!" the veiled girl said slowly. But for some reason,

she became worried about Wu Tianjiao, who wielded the sword.

"Didn't Master tell you?" the maid asked.

"Of course my father wouldn't tell me. I only heard it once when he was talking about it with someone else. I wonder

how my father is doing now; he's been away from home for three months." The veiled girl's voice revealed longing as she mentioned her father.

"Yes! I stayed at Miss's aunt's house for so long this time, Miss, your aunt was so hospitable,"

the maid said.

Wu Tianjiao, completely focused on confronting Jin Changxu, had no time to notice those around him. He felt Jin Changxu's

aura growing increasingly heavy, his killing intent chilling, and he hesitated, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"The Third Deadly Move, Soul Returns Home."

The sentence was only nine characters long, and as soon as the last word, "home," was uttered, Jin Changxu suddenly lunged forward,

unleashing forty-nine thrusts in an instant, each thrust faster than the last, each aimed straight for a fatal spot.

Wu Tianjiao was equally swift, parrying the forty-nine thrusts with his sword, his face as cold as water.

Jin Changxu's spear thrusts continued relentlessly, "swoosh swoosh swoosh," three more thrusts.

Wu Tianjiao parried three more.

With a "whoosh," Jin Changxu's three thrusts suddenly became four, flying towards Wu Tianjiao's throat.

Wu Tianjiao's swordplay was waning, and it seemed there was no way to block it. But in that instant, his body

shifted to the side, and the spear pierced past his neck!

The spear tip snapped off instantly, and Jin Changxu's aging spear technique became agile again, sinking, contracting, and thrusting towards Wu

Tianjiao's chest.

Although the spear tip had broken off, with Jin Changxu's internal strength, this thrust was enough to shatter stone tablets,

let alone strike a vital spot in the heart.

Wu Tianjiao's sword then deftly deflected the spear's attack.

Although the spear thrust was unpredictable, Wu Tianjiao was a master among masters, with extensive experience in combat. He was more

than capable of deflecting Jin Changxu's attack.

Jin Changxu roared, "Good!" His spear thrust changed again, still aiming for Wu Tianjiao's chest.

Wu Tianjiao parried with his sword.

With a "whoosh," a sharp spear tip suddenly sprang from the broken end of the spear,

shooting towards Wu Tianjiao's chest!

The broken end was only seven inches from Wu Tianjiao's chest, yet the two spear tips were a full foot and two inches long.

Three inches is enough to kill a vital spot like the chest, let alone five.

This was completely unexpected for Wu Tianjiao. This was the final move of Jin Changxu's "Three Deadly Strikes," "

Returning ."

Each of the "Three Deadly Strikes" was a fatal blow; this one was enough to end Wu Tianjiao's life! But Wu Tianjiao was no

ordinary opponent . He inhaled and retreated, swiftly using his teleportation technique to step back three feet, blocking with his heavy sword—

a clang rang out, sparks flew, and in this extremely dangerous moment, Wu Tianjiao actually blocked Jin Changxu's deadly

spear. But he felt a powerful force surge down, unstoppable, and Wu Tianjiao felt he couldn't hold on any longer. With a thought, he activated

the Ninefold Chain Force from the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill, rebounding outwards.

One shock, then another. At first, Jin Changxu didn't feel anything, but suddenly he felt his power gradually dissipating. After the third shock, all the power

he had generated for the spear was gone. By the fourth shock, his internal energy surged back towards him. Jin Changxu was shocked and hurriedly

tried to resist.

However, it was too late. Wu Tianjiao's fifth surge of hidden force arrived, negating his initial true power. The sixth surge of true power

arrived, and Jin Changxu suddenly shivered. It was too late to circulate his power.

The seventh surge of force arrived, and Jin Changxu actually began to tremble. As the eighth surge of true energy pressed in, Jin Changxu's legs

trembled uncontrollably. Then the ninth surge arrived, and Jin Changxu let out a strange cry, spitting out blood. He was sent flying backward

like lightning, crashing into the roadside woods, snapping seven or eight trees as thick as bowls in succession,

before disappearing into the bushes and vanishing without a trace. His fate remained unknown

. This sudden turn of events left everyone breathless and dumbfounded. Seeing Wu Tianjiao unharmed,

everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having been drenched in a cold sweat.

Just then, a group of people rushed in from afar. Leading them were none other than Yuwen Tao and Jin Ji.

Upon seeing them, Wu Tianjiao's expression changed, his heart tightening. His worst fears had come true. He didn't

know Jin Changxu was alive or dead. If he was dead, the trouble would be immense.

Having come this far, Wu Tianjiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow, saying, "Wu Tiancheng greets Your Highness."

"Young Master Wu, why are you still here? Weren't you going to Fengcheng?" Yuwen Tao asked curiously,

looking at him with a strange gaze.

That gaze sent chills down Wu Tianjiao's spine, and he said guiltily, "Well… we were on our way, but we encountered

a little unexpected trouble!"

"Young Master Wu, have you seen my son?" Jin Ji asked anxiously.

"I don't know who your son is…" Wu Tianjiao asked knowingly.

"General Jin's son, is that the Jin Changxu you met?" Yuwen Tao explained from the side.

Wu Tianjiao knew he couldn't hide it anymore; the truth would eventually come out. He had no choice but to explain the duel with Jin Changxu

. He explained that he hadn't retaliated, allowing Jin Changxu to attack. And Jin Changxu had used his ultimate move, "

Soul Returns Home," which had injured him.

"What? Xu'er... actually used 'Return to Hometown'!" Jin Ji's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Led by Wu Tianjiao and the others, Jin Ji quickly found his son in the woods. Jin Changxu was

unconscious , his condition unknown, but his right hand was still tightly gripping the Soul-Locking Spear.

"Xu'er, wake up, your father is here..." Jin Ji shouted.

"Quickly help General Jin up. Doctor, quickly examine Young Master Jin's injuries," Yuwen Tao hurriedly

ordered , fearing that Jin Ji would lose control of his emotions.

After examining Jin Changxu for a while, the doctor frowned, his face extremely grave.

"How is my son?" Jin Ji asked anxiously.

"Young Master Jin was injured by internal force, all his meridians are broken, and his internal energy is surging wildly. If his meridians are not unblocked,

his life may be in danger," the doctor said.

"If his meridians are unblocked, will my son be alright?" Jin Ji asked.

"Even if his meridians are unblocked, Young Master Jin will lose all his martial arts skills," the doctor said.

"Save his life first," Jin Ji pondered, and was about to impatiently prepare to open his son's meridians. "

General, wait! Young Master Jin is weak and cannot withstand external force. If more internal energy enters,

his life may be in danger," the army doctor quickly explained.

"According to you, my son can't be saved, he's doomed!" Jin Ji roared.

"General Jin, calm down, your son's injury cannot be rushed!" Yuwen Tao hurriedly advised.

Jin Ji might not listen to others, but he had to listen to Yuwen Tao. But when he saw Wu Tianjiao

so close , he couldn't suppress his anger. Pointing at Wu Tianjiao, he roared, "It's all your

fault, you brat! If you hadn't fought back, my son wouldn't be like this! I want you to pay for my son's life!"

Before he finished speaking, a clang—a flash of cold light—and Jin Ji had already drawn the sword from his side.

Wu Tianjiao was also enraged. What kind of talk was this? Telling me not to fight back? Was that telling me to stand still and

let your son kill me? Outrageous! Did they think I was a fool?!

Wu Tianjiao's face darkened, and he coldly said, "General Jin, how can you say that? My son and I had

a fair fight, and I was only on the defensive, never attacking. If your son's last move hadn't been so powerful,

I wouldn't have been forced to counterattack with my internal energy!"

"Yes! Brother Wu didn't attack at all, we all saw that." The masked girl's maid couldn't stand

it anymore and came over to speak for Wu Tianjiao.

"Who are you? Do you have a place to speak here?" a nearby officer shouted.

"Uncle Yuwen, don't you recognize Yuexiang?" The masked girl originally didn't want to come over, but since the maid had come,

she had no choice but to.

Yuwen Tao was startled to hear someone call him "uncle." Very few people would address him like that. He carefully examined

the masked girl. Although her face was covered, Yuwen Tao still recognized her. His expression changed, and

he blurted , "You are... Xiong Yuexiang, Yuexiang's niece?"

"Uncle Yuwen, I am Yuexiang," Xiong Yuexiang said with a smile, pointing to her maid, "This is my

maid , Xiaoyu."

"It's been a while since I've seen you. You've grown so much. How are your family?" Yuwen Tao sighed.

"My parents are in good health and often talk about Uncle Yuwen," Xiong Yuexiang said.

"What are you doing here?" Yuwen Tao asked.

"I was just passing by and happened to see them fighting, so I stopped to watch," Xiong Yuexiang replied.

"Do you know what happened earlier?" Yuwen Tao asked.

Xiong Yuexiang explained what had happened. Of course, she wouldn't necessarily side with Wu Tianjiao; the facts were

the facts , and she wouldn't distort them. However, her tone revealed her dissatisfaction with Jin Changxu's bullying.

"You're in cahoots with them, of course you're helping this pretty boy," Jin Ji said angrily. Xiong Yuexiang

's anger surged. She never imagined that this respected imperial general would say

such a thing. She trembled all over, too angry to speak.

"Brother Ji, how can you speak like that? Miss Yuexiang is the descendant of an old friend of mine; what she says is certainly

true." Yuwen Tao also felt that Jin Ji was acting very strangely.

Jin Ji also realized that he had acted too impulsively and hurriedly said, "This subordinate acted impulsively; please punish me, Your Highness."

At this time, the onlookers also recounted the course of the fight, clarifying the facts. After everything was clear,

Yuwen Tao sighed inwardly. The matter of Wu Tianjiao and his daughter had not yet been resolved; how could he let Wu Tianjiao

be killed like this?

"The fault does not lie with Young Master Wu, but with Inspector Jin. Considering that the circumstances are understandable and Inspector Jin was seriously injured,

let's just let it go."

Jin Ji saw that Yuwen Tao had not punished Wu Tianjiao but had shown favoritism towards his son. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he did

not say anything more.

At this moment, Yuwen Tao looked at Wu Tianjiao and solemnly said, "Young Master Wu, don't you know medicine? Since you were able to

save my son and the princess, I wonder if you could save Young Master Jin's life?"

After all, Jin Ji was one of his generals, and Yuwen Tao couldn't let that go unnoticed.

Sure enough, Jin Ji's eyes showed gratitude towards Yuwen Tao. Although he knew Wu Tianjiao knew medicine,

how could he ask someone who had hurt his son for help?

Wu Tianjiao knew that most of these people knew about his saving of the princess. He frowned and said, "Young Master Jin

was injured by me, so it's only right that I save him. I have ten spirit pills here. If Young Master Jin takes one every day, it will

not only save his life but also restore his martial arts. However, he will inevitably have to stay in the palace for ten days to half a month."

Jin Ji was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "If it can really be as Young Master Wu says, then the matter of Xu'er will be wiped clean from now on

."

After hearing that his son could be saved, his mood calmed down, and he addressed Wu Tianjiao much more politely.

With his son injured and Jin Ji emotionally distraught, Wu Tianjiao wouldn't bother arguing with him. He had to

stay in Hanhai County no matter what, and these military elites were not to be offended. Besides, Jin Changxu wasn't a bad person; he'd taken

Jin Changxu's lover, so saving his life was repaying a favor.

Wu Tianjiao immediately took out a bottle of elixirs, giving one to Jin Changxu and the other nine to Jin Ji to

keep safe.

These elixirs were truly miraculous; in no time, Jin Changxu's breathing returned to normal, as if

he were asleep, his complexion rosy, and anyone could see that he was temporarily alright. One wondered

what kind of elixirs Wu Tianjiao had used to have such a miraculous effect.

Even Yuwen Tao was intrigued by the elixir and asked Wu Tianjiao, "What kind of miraculous medicine did Young Master Wu use? It

's so amazing!"

"This is the 'Heaven-Reaching Tendon-Regenerating Pill,' refined by my master. It can reconnect severed tendons and ligaments.

My master, fearing for my safety while I travel the world, specifically instructed me to keep it as a backup, but I haven't needed it recently.

Today, it just so happens that Young Master Jin can use it! However, this medicine is extremely rare; there are only ten pills available," Wu Tianjiao said calmly.

His "master" was, of course, the Holy Mother of Heaven. He not only possessed pills refined by the Holy Mother of Heaven

but also those refined by his grandmaster, Lady Rose. His spiritual ring contained many various healing pills.

Jin Ji was even more grateful to Wu Tianjiao after hearing this; such a rare medicine had been used to save his son's

life. His impression of Wu Tianjiao changed drastically.

Eagle King Yuwen Tao, however, felt it was a great pity, as he had intended to ask Wu Tianjiao for some.

Now that the matter was over, Yuwen Tao and Jin Ji didn't linger and led their team back to Tielong City with Jin Changxu.

After watching them walk away, Wu Tianjiao turned around and found that Xiong Yuexiang and her maid were gone.

"Has either of you seen that Xiong Yuexiang?" Wu Tianjiao asked the two sword-wielding maids beside him.

"Young Master, we didn't notice!"

"Young Master, I saw Miss Xiong and the others walk along this road earlier. This is the direction to Fengcheng. She

might also be going to Fengcheng."

"They're going to Fengcheng too!" Wu Tianjiao's spirits lifted upon hearing this, and he said cheerfully, "This Miss Xiong is

chivalrous and kind-hearted. She helped those in need. She's a rare and good person!"

These words made the women roll their eyes. Ying Ying'er snorted, "What chivalrous and kind-hearted? I think you just

saw her because she's beautiful and wanted to hook up with her!"

Wu Tianjiao cried out in protest, "No way! Her face was covered. I didn't even know if she was beautiful or ugly. How could I hook up with her

? Ying'er, you can't wrong me! I just wanted to thank her!"

"Young Master! That Xiong Yuexiang's surname is Xiong. Could she be from Xiong Family Fortress?" Dao Ji suddenly spoke up.

Wu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat. His sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said gravely, "Xiong Family Fortress…

there are many . She might not necessarily be from Xiong Family Fortress. Besides, Feng City isn't just home to the Xiong family of Xiong Family Fortress!"

"What if it is?" Sword Maiden chuckled. "Young Master, if we continue forward, we'll soon reach

Feng City. According to our inquiries, Xiong Family Fortress dominates the area, and the entire Feng City is their territory.

You are the new city lord of Feng City. Once you arrive, conflict with Xiong Family Fortress is inevitable. You must be prepared!"

Wu Tianjiao nodded repeatedly, frowning. "If that Xiong… Yuexiang is truly from Xiong Family Fortress, then it's

alright . Don't you know I'm best at dealing with women?"
