Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 97 Famous in Luojing
When the yellow horse saw the strong liquor, its eyes lit up and it drank the whole jar of liquor in an instant. Still feeling unsatisfied, it neighed at Sun Yanwan.

Sun Yanwan didn't know how the horse would handle alcohol. He didn't dare give it too much to drink, so he just asked the servants to double the amount of hay and mix in more beans. After comforting the yellow horse for a while, he returned to his room and continued his diligent training.

When Sun Yanwan woke up the next morning, she felt that she had slept very well.

This trip to Luojing was extremely arduous and he encountered many dangers. Sun Yanwan had been complaining privately for a long time. Now that he could finally be free, he felt that his whole body of energy had become lighter.

Ever since he gained control of the Black Tide, Sun Yanwan has been making rapid progress in his practice of the Mysterious Ice Treasure Mirror.

He has already opened up ten meridians, and only needs two more to enter the fifth level.

In the martial arts world, martial artists of the fourth or fifth rank are commonly known as first-rate masters. Once they cross this threshold, they can be considered famous figures in the martial arts world, and can even use this capital to propose marriage to a martial arts family.

Jun Tingyun of Tiger Roar and Dragon Roar married Nan Mengtan, the second daughter of the Nan Meng family, because his martial arts skills had reached the fifth level.

Well, Zhang Ji, the first disciple of Yin Bailian, was rejected by the female knight who had been pursuing him for many years when he was young because he had not taken this step and his martial arts skills were not very good. In a fit of anger, he returned to Songyang Mountain and became a Taoist priest.

Although Senior Brother Zhang Ji later broke through to the fourth level, he was old and had no ambitions anymore.

Sun Yanwan took a look at the yellow horse and saw that it was in good spirits and not at all tired. He thought to himself, "It is indeed hungry." He asked the servant to feed it again and opened a new jar of fine wine. After the yellow horse had eaten and drunk its fill, he prepared some grass and dry food for the horse and man to chew on on the road. Then he got on the horse and set off.

Sun Yanwan escaped Luojing safely, completely unaware that Luojing was already in turmoil. Someone in the palace even smashed seven or eight bowls and plates, cursing bitterly: "How could this little thief deceive the world and send someone to Luojing?"

"I have already sent out three groups of troops and have also ordered people to strictly guard Luojing, no matter the weather. How did this little thief have such ability?"

"This bitch's son is back, and this bitch is back too. Isn't she trying to compete with me for my favor?"

"Are you all dead? Why don't you quickly send a letter to our ancestors, saying that people from the Songyang sect have entered Luojing?"

A young eunuch, not knowing his place, whispered, "He and the Fourth Prince are from the same sect, both considered part of the Taiyi Temple lineage. I'm afraid the old ancestor won't care."

A beautiful woman in a phoenix crown and golden robe blushed with anger and shouted, "How dare I talk back? Drag me out and beat me to death!"

"Don't use the rough stick, don't give him a hard time!"

The beautiful woman in the phoenix crown and golden robe was furious. After a moment, she asked again, "Did the thief get caught at any of the city gates?"

A palace lady replied tremblingly, "We didn't see any twelve or thirteen-year-old boys leaving the city yesterday. I think they must have used another secret way to enter the city."

"Your Majesty, we have foreign envoys coming to see you today, and they all said they can no longer interfere with the entry and exit of the city gates."

"Besides, that little thief who brought the person here must have escaped at night. How could he dare to stay?"

The beautiful woman in the phoenix crown and golden robe was so angry that she had a headache. She cried out, fell on the bed, and started to cry.

After a few days, Sun Yanwan's name spread like wildfire and became famous throughout Luojing!
After Sun Yanwan left Luojing, she tried out the yellow horse's strength and was pleasantly surprised. This yellow horse was stronger than the black rabbit and a bit taller. Riding on it at a gallop, the strong wind blew on her face, which was extremely comfortable.

He didn't know someone in the palace was cursing him. Otherwise, he would have copied a poem by Li Bai or Du Fu and written it down in history, bringing eternal infamy to that person. This thing is much more effective than martial arts.

But a few days later, when he passed through the East China Sea Customs again, the situation was no longer as tense as when he came here, and no one was staring at the passers-by.

Sun Yanwan was thinking about going back to see his master, so he didn't stay in Donghaiguan. Although he didn't remember exactly where his master's Taiyi Temple was located, he could inquire about other information, such as where the Scorpio Cult was active. By following the clues, he could always find out the direction.

This time, he was traveling alone in the martial arts world, which made him feel freer than when he followed Miao Youxiu, his senior brother Zhang Qingxi, or even Zhang Ji, Linghu Shao, Ding Fenxiu and others.

Although Sun Yanwan had little experience in the martial arts world, he possessed the magical power of listening to the ground, and even ordinary martial arts skills were hard to beat. He was also smart and clever. After all, he had lived two lives, so he didn't delay any further along the way.

Half a month passed in a flash. Although he took some detours because he was not familiar with the road, he finally found the right way. He discovered that the scenery along the way was the same as what he and Miao Youxiu had walked before. Not far away was the town outside Taiyi Temple. He was immediately overjoyed.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he patted the yellow horse and said, "Xiao Huang! Try harder. Let's go back to Taiyi Temple to rest tonight."

This yellow horse will be returned to Qin Cheng sooner or later. Sun Yanwan was too lazy to give it a name, so she just called it Xiao Huang according to its coat color.

The yellow horse seemed to like the name Xiao Huang. Every time Sun Yanwan called it, it would sneeze and shake its head to show that it understood.

At this time, Sun Yanwan urged it, and it let go of its four hooves and ran wildly, like the wind sweeping the ground, blowing up the fallen leaves all over the sky.

Sun Yanwan was riding on horseback, feeling very happy. He thought to himself, "I'll be able to see Master when I return to Taiyi Temple. I just wonder if Master misses me."

"I also brought some gifts for Master when I came back this time, but they were all ordinary things. It's a pity that I didn't find a good sword for Master. The soft swords of those blind men in the Guanxin Sect don't quite match the swordsmanship of our Songyang School."

Sun Yanwan's mind was full of mixed thoughts.

The yellow horse was even more powerful. After more than an hour, it could already see the town below Taiyi Temple.

This town has been occupied by Scorpio cultists, and now some people have gradually moved in to run the town. They have also opened some businesses and done some business. Many of the Scorpio cult's industries have been moved here, but it is still deserted and far less prosperous than before, although it was not very prosperous before.

When Sun Yanwan broke into the town, someone shouted, but was immediately held down. It was Lao Ai who recognized Sun Yanwan. She was about to greet him, but saw that Sun Yanwan had no intention of staying. She hurriedly shouted, asking the Scorpio Gang to make way and not block the little immortal from returning to the temple.

When Lao Qingshan heard that Sun Yanwan had returned to the mountain, he hurried out to greet her, but he did not dare to go up to talk to her. He could only stand quietly by the road and bow to see her off.

Sun Yanwan passed through the town, rode up the mountain, and soon saw the plaque of Taiyi Temple.

After he and Zhang Qingxi left, the renovation of the Taoist temple slowed down, and it seemed to be almost the same as when they left. The temple was deserted. Sun Yanwan dismounted and shouted, "Master, your disciple is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, two young men came out to greet him. Seeing it was him, they bowed down together and shouted, "Little Taoist Sun, you're back?"

Sun Yanwan was stunned for a moment and asked, "You two? Who are you?"
