Seeing the darts flying towards him, Jiang Xiaochuan raised his hand and instantly froze them all in mid-air.

In that instant, the two adjusted their attacking stances and simultaneously channeled their inner energy, unleashing several sword beams at Jiang Xiaochuan.

Jiang Xiaochuan waved his hand to shake off the dart, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and leaped directly into the air.

As the saying goes, I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they do offend me, I will crush them to dust!

After dodging the killing move once again, Jiang Xiaochuan no longer held back. He flipped his hands and took out two talismans from his storage bracelet. After activating them with spiritual power, he blasted them out.

The two talismans burst into a dazzling red light the moment they left Jiang Xiaochuan's palm, and then transformed into two fire dragons several meters long, roaring as they pounced on the two people opposite them.

"Talismanic arts! This kid is a talisman cultivator!!"

Upon sensing the power emanating from the two fire dragons, the two immediately abandoned the idea of ​​continuing the fight and turned to run away.

Unfortunately, the fire dragon was much faster than the two of them, and in just a few breaths it caught up and burned them to ashes.

"Damn it! How could a talisman cultivator appear in this place?!"

Seeing his two men burned to death by the fire dragon, the leader cursed under his breath, realizing that his plan to kidnap Zhuge Jingxing today was likely to fail.

Sure enough, the next moment he felt Jiang Xiaochuan's gaze turn in his direction.

Without further hesitation, the leader forced his opponent back with a single strike, then withdrew. His opponent immediately gave the order: "—Retreat!"

Seeing the enemy suddenly retreat, Zhuge Jingxing and his guards all breathed a sigh of relief.

The enemy's overall strength is clearly superior to theirs; if the fighting continues, their side will undoubtedly be defeated!

Fortunately, a benefactor appeared, which helped them overcome this ordeal.

Zhuge Jingxing sheathed his sword, straightened his clothes, gave a few instructions to the guards, and then walked towards Jiang Xiaochuan.

"My name is Zhuge Jingxing. Thank you for saving me, brother!"

Jiang Xiaochuan waved his hand, "You don't need to thank me. I only took action because these people wanted to kill me. It has nothing to do with you."

Zhuge Jingxing was momentarily speechless after being rebuked by the young man's words.

Although what the other person said was true, this was the first time he had ever encountered someone so frank and unvarnished in expressing their thoughts.

However, this straightforward and outspoken personality is exactly what he admires.

"I wonder what your name is, brother?"

Zhuge Jingxing asked with a smile.

"Jiang Xiaochuan."

"So it's Brother Xiaochuan." Zhuge Jingxing greeted him warmly. "May I ask if Brother Xiaochuan is a disciple of Qianyuan Palace?"

The reason he asked this question was because Qian Yuan Palace was a long-established silver-level power renowned for its talismans and array formations.

Throughout the entire Tianque Continent, whenever talismans and formations are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the Qian Yuan Palace.

For someone of Jiang Xiaochuan's age to possess such exquisite and superb talisman skills, it is clear that he has been taught by a master and has received orthodox instruction.

"Qianyuan Palace?"

Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head. "Never heard of it. My talisman-controlling technique was learned from a master, not from any Qian Yuan Palace."

"I see."

Zhuge Jingxing nodded and asked, "I wonder where Brother Xiaochuan is headed on this trip? A few hundred miles ahead is Yaoguang City."

"Radiant City?"

Jiang Xiaochuan nodded. "Then I'll go to Yaoguang City."

Zhuge Jingxing smiled upon hearing this, "What a coincidence. I also need to return to Yaoguang City for my second brother's wedding banquet. If Brother Xiaochuan has nothing urgent, why don't you travel with us?"

"sure!"

Upon hearing the words "wedding banquet," Jiang Xiaochuan immediately became interested and asked Zhuge Jingxing, "Can I attend your second brother's wedding banquet? I've never attended a wedding banquet before! It sounds so interesting!"

Xiao Qing, who was perched on Jiang Xiaochuan's shoulder, couldn't help but roll her eyes again after hearing his words, inwardly complaining:

"This guy is such a hypocrite. He says he's been around since birth, but if we're talking about age, he's not even old enough to be my grandson!"

Zhuge Jingxing had the same idea, so upon hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's request, he immediately smiled and agreed, "Of course! My father would certainly welcome a young genius like Brother Xiaochuan!"

Seeing that Zhuge Jingxing had agreed to his request, Jiang Xiaochuan immediately joined his team and headed to Yaoguang City with him.

Along the way, Zhuge Jingxing and Jiang Xiaochuan talked a lot, but he did most of the talking while Jiang Xiaochuan listened.

After all, Jiang Xiaochuan hasn't been alive for very long, and his life is practically a blank slate. There's really nothing to talk about, so he can only listen to Zhuge Jingxing recount his various experiences in the martial arts world.

It turns out that when Zhuge Jingxing was five years old, he was spotted by an elder of the Shenyu Sect and taken in as a personal disciple.

Although the Divine Feather Sect and the Zhuge Family are both Silver-level forces, the Divine Feather Sect is far superior to the Zhuge Family in terms of both foundation and overall strength. Therefore, the entire Zhuge Family unanimously agreed to Zhuge Jing joining the Divine Feather Sect.

Cultivation in a sect is different from that in a family. There are almost always level assessments every year. Therefore, disciples who enter a sect work very hard in order to obtain enough cultivation resources and not be abandoned by the sect.

Although Zhuge Jingxing had his family backing him, he practiced martial arts even harder than others to avoid gossip.

It was precisely because of this that Zhuge Jingxing gained the unanimous approval of his master and fellow disciples, who no longer regarded him as a spoiled brat who had entered the sect through connections.

Under the guidance of his senior brothers and sisters, Zhuge Jingxing, at a young age, had already experienced numerous battles and personally killed no less than a hundred villains and evil cultivators.

Upon hearing Zhuge Jingxing recount the major battles he had personally experienced, Jiang Xiaochuan felt a surge of excitement and longed to find some bad guys and fight them himself.

At the same time, the idea of ​​joining a sect also popped into his mind.

However, he quickly rejected the idea.

Joining a sect would subject him to many restrictions, unlike the carefree life of a free spirit.

It took Zhuge Jingxing and Jiang Xiaochuan's group half a month to finally arrive at Yaoguang City.

At this time, there were less than ten days left until Zhuge Yunxuan's wedding banquet, so there were hundreds of people from all sides who came to Yaoguang City to attend the banquet.

After arriving in Yaoguang City, Jiang Xiaochuan did not go to the Zhuge family mansion with Zhuge Jingxing. Instead, he chose to wander around the city on his own first and then pay his respects on the day of the wedding banquet.

In order to ensure that Jiang Xiaochuan, who did not have an invitation, would not be stopped by the servants of the mansion on the day of the wedding banquet, Zhuge Jingxing specially gave Jiang Xiaochuan a piece of his personal jade pendant as a token.

After accepting the jade pendant, the two parted ways.

As Jiang Xiaochuan strolled around the spacious, flat, and bustling streets of Yaoguang City with great interest, a man sitting on the top floor of a six-story restaurant not far away caught a glimpse of him and immediately looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Impossible! How could this person be in Yaoguang City? Could he also be here for Zhuge Yunxuan's wedding banquet? No—"

Only then did the man notice that although Jiang Xiaochuan looked very similar to the figure imprinted in his mind that filled him with immense fear, he was quite different in age and height.

"Not him? -- No! To be on the safe side, I have to find someone to try!"
