Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 125 There is no other way but to become stronger

"Look, look, the child was even scared to tears."

"Yes, children are very intelligent, and you can't wrongly accuse them."

"I heard that the beasts in the Yunnan Forest devour humans so fast that they can barely fill their teeth with one bite."

"Oh my, this is terrible. We can't just run over there!"

"But no matter how powerful the beasts in the Dian Forest are, we should be afraid of them. Why should we be afraid of the warriors of Dianzhou? What is the connection between the two?"

"Well, what do you know?"

……

Not only the female disciple from Dianzhou Martial Arts School, but most of the disciples from Dianzhou Martial Arts School originally thought that the child was shocked by their aura and was scared to tears.

But after hearing what the white-haired old man said and what the people nearby said, the disciples of Dianzhou Martial Arts School no longer had any expectations of being praised for their outstanding aura. They all frowned slightly and continued to walk down the Micui Peak.

It seems that the people of Qizhou really use them as weapons to scare children.

From a geographical point of view, among the five states, Dianzhou is relatively close to Yingzhou and Jinzhou, but is the farthest from Qizhou. As for Mi Cui Peak on the border of Qizhou, it is even much farther away.

People often say that distance creates beauty, and this is often true.

But sometimes, distance also leads to misunderstandings.

"What does it matter? How can it not matter? I heard that the warriors from Dianzhou are very diligent in going in and out of the depths of the Dian Forest, and living in the dens of those ferocious beasts. Do you believe that they have no ability to deal with the ferocious beasts? Humph, in my opinion, these Dianzhou warriors are more terrifying than the ferocious beasts in the Dian Forest." A Qizhou citizen who was not dressed as a warrior said excitedly.

The man who had asked the question earlier did not comment or say anything else.

As a result, the entire team of warriors from the Dianzhou Martial Arts School began to feel a little depressed.

The previous idea of ​​slightly changing the style of painting through the argument of the person who asked the question was also abandoned.

"Hahaha……"

Listening to the discussions of the people around him and sensing the gloom among the martial artists in the martial arts hall, someone in the Dianzhou martial arts hall team burst out laughing.

The warrior's companion seemed to know why he laughed out loud and whispered, "I was wondering if the warriors from Dianzhou don't live in the woods, right?"

"Ow!"

After the warrior finished speaking, a plan came to his mind. He suddenly put on an extremely ferocious look and shouted at the few people who had been discussing the matter most fiercely.

The warrior's actions immediately frightened the people who were in heated discussion and made them scream and retreat.

One of them was so frightened that he lost his balance and fell on a medium-sized stone on the road. The stone was not very round, so it hurt him and made him scream again.

"Hahaha! Haha..."

Seeing the frightened man's panic-stricken look, bursts of laughter suddenly broke out among the warriors of Dianzhou Martial Arts School.

"I'm so sorry. I'll report this to the martial arts school, and they'll reprimand and punish him." The middle-aged man in the lead helped the man sitting on the ground up and looked at the disciple who had just acted strangely with a very stern look. Seeing this, the disciple panicked and avoided the middle-aged man's gaze, quickly covering his mouth with both hands.

……

Jiang Xuan looked at the team of disciples from Dianzhou Martial Arts School who continued to march, and was slightly distracted.

"Boy, why are you in a daze? What are you thinking about?" Looking at Jiang Xuan's state, Old Sha asked.

"Mr. Sha, do you think Dianzhou is really as they say?" Jiang Xuan came back to his senses after hearing what Mr. Sha said and spoke slowly.

"Do you believe what they say?" asked Mr. Sha.

"Oh, we're both warriors, so naturally we don't believe those stories about cannibalism. I'm just curious, do the warriors from Dianzhou really give people from other states this impression?"

"The old man has only a vague understanding of Dianzhou and doesn't know much about it."

Old Sha stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, this is normal. Among the five states, Dianzhou is relatively remote. It's a good state, but it's forcibly separated by the Dian Forest. Not only do people from other states misunderstand them, but even the two parts of Dianzhou separated by the Dian Forest have a loose connection."

"I've heard about the mystery of Dianzhou a long time ago. I rarely see people from Dianzhou in Yingzhou. After coming to Qizhou, I find that there are very few people from Dianzhou coming to Qizhou. Why is that?" Jiang Xuan asked Mr. Sha with some curiosity.

Sha Lao shook his head and said, "Among the five prefectures today, Dian Prefecture has the smallest population. Dian Prefecture is truly a beautiful place filled with beautiful scenery. As the saying goes, you live by the mountains, you eat by the mountains; you live by the water, you eat by the water. Dian Prefecture is close to the Dian Forest, so it can naturally benefit from this vast Dian Forest."

He then changed the subject: "But not everyone can make a living from the forest. Many people from Dianzhou left Dianzhou early on to seek a living in other provinces."

"Those who left their hometowns have already gone away. There are only a few types of people left in Dianzhou now. Those who have deep feelings for Dianzhou, those who are too old to want to work hard, and warriors." Old Sha said as he looked at the team of warriors from the Dianzhou martial arts school who were gradually walking away.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, but the confusion on his face did not diminish in the slightest. He then said, "Since many people from Dianzhou have already left for other states, why don't they restore the reputation of their hometown?"

"Maybe, but it's not very useful."

Old Sha shook his head helplessly, then said with a hint of emotion, "As for whether or not people believe it, that's another matter. In the world of cultivation, if you want others to listen to you and believe your words, you have to make them carry enough weight."

"Do you remember the day we left Qizhou City?" Old Sha looked at Jiang Xuan. Before Jiang Xuan could answer, he asked, "Have you ever considered what you would have done if the guards had refused to let you and me leave?"

Jiang Xuan fell into deep thought and still did not answer.

"What if you and I are not warriors? On the contrary, what if you and I are both cultivators?" Old Sha continued to ask.

What Jiang Xuan was thinking about at this moment was what he had thought about when he sent Miss Ning Wei into the city that day.

Thinking about it this way, what Mr. Sha asked today was what Jiang Xuan had already thought about that day.

Whether others believe it or not, and whether they really believe it, is not that important.
In the world of cultivation, many things ultimately come down to strength. This is true between warriors, and even more so between cultivators.

"There is no other way but to become stronger." Jiang Xuan clenched his fists and looked at the towering Micui Peak.

The team of Dianzhou warriors who have reached the foot of Micui Peak are full of high spirits, perhaps because of their confidence in their own strength and their expectation of becoming even stronger.
