The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

"It's truly a top-grade Earth-grade martial art! Even with my talent, it took me thirty days to reach the entry level."

"But even with just the introductory level, my strength has increased a lot. Coupled with the power of the Ice Divine Art, cultivators in the early stages of Danhua are no match for me."

"Even if he's a cultivator in the middle stage of the Danhua Sect, I'm confident that I'm not weaker than him. Once I comprehend another sword intent, even a cultivator in the late stage of the Danhua Sect won't be able to do anything to me!"

Zhang Chentian swung the Frost Sword in his hand and said proudly.

"Tsk~ What are you trying to show off for? With your limited skills, you can't even stand up to those truly powerful people!"

Xiaota couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Zhang Chentian acting so pretentiously.

"Okay, okay, you're the strongest. No one is stronger than you. Okay."

Zhang Chentian looked at the small tower helplessly and said.

"That's not true. In the universe, there are still powerful creatures in those forbidden areas."

Xiaota was lying in the rocking chair, talking leisurely.

"By the way, it's time for you to change your spiritual weapon. This low-grade Xuan-level Frost Ice Sword can no longer withstand your power."

"It's time to change weapons."

After being reminded by the small tower, Zhang Chentian also realized that the level of his spiritual weapon was a bit low.

However, Zhang Chentian was not worried about the spiritual weapons. After all, Yan Zhan had given him many Xuan-level spiritual weapons.

There are many high-grade and top-grade spiritual weapons among them. You can just go to the armory and pick one when the time comes.

After mastering the two martial arts, Zhang Chentian did not continue to practice. The subsequent level of martial arts would depend on actual combat to improve.

All he has to do is keep fighting and comprehend the essence of martial arts in battle.

Only in this way can the two martial arts be quickly cultivated to perfection.

"Hmm? Your mother is outside the door. She seems to have something to tell you."

Xiaota raised his eyebrows and said.

"is it?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Chentian appeared outside the tower, opened the door, and said:

"Mom, come in quickly. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"No, Tian'er, the people from the City Lord's Mansion are here. Your grandfather asked you to come over. I just came back to see you, Xiaolong, so I came over to tell you."

Luo Qinghan saw Zhang Chentian and said with a smile.

"Go quickly, it might be something important." said the mother.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."

After hearing this, Zhang Chen nodded, then turned and left.

As he walked, he wondered: What could be going on? Was someone looking for me? Or was there some important news for me?

With these questions in mind, Zhang Chen quickened his pace and soon arrived in front of the reception room. The door opened automatically.

As I walked into the reception room, I saw the old ancestor sitting opposite a middle-aged man who looked dignified without even getting angry. They were drinking tea and talking about something.

Needless to say, this middle-aged man is none other than the Lord of Tianshui City, the younger brother of the current King Xia—Xia Qiqiang! He is a genuine late-stage Dan Hua expert.

"Chentian has met the ancestor, the city lord, and the clan leader."

After Zhang Chentian entered the reception room, he bowed to the three people in front of him.

"Hahaha, Zhang Chentian, the young patriarch of the Zhang family, this city lord has heard of you a long time ago."

Xia Qiqiang looked at Zhang Chentian with a smile and continued.

"I've heard of you. Your achievements are well-known to me!"

Xia Qiqiang looked at Zhang Chentian and laughed.

"No, no, I just want to protect myself," Zhang Chentian waved his hand modestly after hearing the city lord's words.

"Hi hi hi~, Chentian, here!"

A familiar voice came from the corner of the living room.

Only then did Zhang Chentian notice that Xia Aofeng was sitting on the side and greeting him.

"Tian'er, go talk to Young Master Xia!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chongzhan said to Zhang Chentian.

"Yes, old man."

"Brother Xia, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

Zhang Chentian walked up to Xia Ao and whispered.

The reception room was not small, and Zhang Chentian's low voice here did not affect the conversation between the city lord and others.

"Oh~ Don't mention it. I wanted to come and support you back then, but my father grounded me and only let me out now."

Xia Aofeng said a little angrily.

"The City Lord is doing this for your own good. Isn't he worried about your safety? What's more, you've achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage during this period. Congratulations!"

"Hahaha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. But I'm far behind you. Breaking through to the late Condensation Stage at the age of 20, wow, your talent is truly amazing."

"I thought our talents were pretty much the same, but who knew..."

"Alas, I have been deceived by you, Chentian, you must compensate me!"

Xia Aofeng looked at Zhang Chentian with a face full of grievance, as if he had really suffered great hurt.

He crossed his arms over his chest and looked so pitiful that people couldn't help but feel pity for him.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. When we have time, how about I treat you to a feast at Zuixianlou?"

Hearing this, Xia Aofeng's eyes immediately lit up, as if he saw a table full of delicious food in front of him.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Hehe, I've been waiting for you to say this! Then I will slaughter you mercilessly."

Thinking of this, the grievance on Xia Aofeng's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a sly smile.

He patted Zhang Chentian on the shoulder and said, "Haha, then it's a deal! You can't go back on your word."

Zhang Chentian smiled and nodded, agreeing:

"Don't worry, I keep my word. But you have to give me some face and don't be too harsh."

The two smiled at each other, and their friendship deepened a little bit.

Unlike this side, the atmosphere on the other side of the reception room was a bit solemn.

"Does the City Lord have any important arrangements for your visit today?"

Zhang Chongzhan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked.

He looked at Xia Qiqiang who was sitting opposite him, with a hint of doubt on his face.

At this time, he saw that Xia Qiqiang's expression was a little solemn, as if he had something important to say.

"Hey~ Now that you and I are both in the Danhua realm, how about we call each other fellow Taoists?" Xia Qiqiang sighed and said slowly.

Zhang Chongzhan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he laughed out loud: "Hahaha, good!"

The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became relaxed.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, how much do you know about the affairs of the dynasty's borders?"

Xia Qiqiang suddenly lowered his voice and asked with a heavy expression.

Zhang Chongzhan heard this, put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment, and replied softly:

"Know a thing or two."

"Alas, the current situation on the border is not optimistic. The barbarians and the Wushuang Dynasty have joined forces to invade our border."

Xia Qiqiang took a deep breath and spoke in a low and serious voice.

"The barbarians in the western border were temporarily repelled by General Su, but Xiahou, my third uncle, who was guarding the northern border, was killed by the people of the Wushuang Dynasty."

At this point, a trace of sadness and anger flashed in Xia Qiqiang's eyes.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to control his emotions.

Xia Qiqiang's mood became increasingly heavy as he thought of his brave and loyal third uncle.

General Xiahou has always been a loyal guardian of the dynasty. He is willing to pay any price to defend the country and the people, and he is also very good to his nephew.

However, he unfortunately died on the battlefield, which made Xia Qiqiang feel extremely sad.

"This actually happened! The people from the Wushuang Dynasty are truly audacious!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Chongzhan's face became very ugly.

He frowned and fell into deep thought.
