“Faceless Hero? Haha, right, right. *Cough* *Cough*”The burly man coughed up blood once again, and he could feel his life slipping away.With death so close, the burly man wanted to know one thing. Looking up at Xi Shen in his mask, he wondered what this person look like as he said, “Let me know one thing, that Daoist Magic you use to conjure those Sword Qi with your Soul Sense, have you really been using it to its full limit?”The burly man was no fool, after seeing Xi Shen’s physical strength, he could sense that this masked man had willingly allowed him to get close to him. He refused to believe that a person that specialized in long range wouldn’t have some methods up their sleeve to avoid close-quarters combat, even if this masked man had great physical strength, even he could see the strain it placed on him when he used it.Something seemed to flip in Xi Shen’s mind upon hearing the burly man’s question, and smirking a little he said with boastfulness that couldn't be disguised

After exiting the cavern Xi Shen quickly made his way back to where he left Jun. Since he left him it had been a couple of hours, so the morning had passed to quickly welcome the afternoon. Though despite what one might think, the afternoon weather had a bad feeling to it as dark clouds formed in the sky, discarding an unpleasant gloominess down below on everyone.Xi Shen had taken off the mask and was still in the badly burnt robes as before.On his way, not one person took a second glance at his tatter attire. This was the slump, there were plenty of people who were in a more ragged attire.Coming to a stop at his destination, Xi Shen paused and used his Heavenly Physique to heighten his sense to locate Jun’s Saint Physique aura. Xi Shen then followed this trail and headed for Jun.Meanwhile, in certain back-alley in the slums, a little over a dozen nervous-looking beggar boys were kneeling on the grotesque ground with their heads bowed.Sat in front of them on a cushioned crate was

After reaching the Mu Clan, the guards had barely recognized Xi Shen who had left in the morning. Lihua and the others were also shocked to see Xi Shen’s current appearance, but more so the person Xi Shen had returned with. From his clothes and unkempt hair, they could tell this boy was from the slums. “This is our new group member, his name is Jun. When he wakes up I'll have him introduce himself to you all." Was what Xi Shen said to them. “Young master, this boy-Jun, who is he, and why is he unconscious?” Fei Yin asked with a strange look on his face. “Small matters that are of no concern, he’s just fine. I save his life and now he’s willing to pay off his debt a thousandfold, was what he said.” Hearing Xi Shen's words, the others all gave him skeptical looks now. Mu Fan was the one who spoke what was on everyone’s mind. “Hey, you didn’t kidnap this person did you?” Xi Shen immediately scoffed and said, “What are you asking? Well, anyway, I need to have you do something.” Xi

Chaotic.This was really the only word that Xi Shen could use to describe the current situation inside the Faction Hall.“Lou Fu, what the hell do you mean your Wealthy Sword Faction deserves 20% of the resources?!! Do you think this is one of your Fei Clan’s business deals?!”In one of the chairs around the hall, Fei Luo Fu, the eldest son of the Fei Clan-s Patriarch and Faction Leader of the Wealthy Sword Faction, was wearing fancy clothes embroidered with countless jewels. On all of his fine fingers were shiny rings.He was a man who wasn't afraid to show his wealth, in fact, it seemed he was afraid people wouldn’t be able to tell he was extremely wealthy.Hearing the yells of the young man in his early twenties directed to him, his jewelry bracelets and necklaces jingled a lot as he shrugged his shoulders and then said, “When it comes to the contributions we of the Wealthy Sword Faction have made to increase the wealth of the Sword Pavilion, ad Academy as a whole, it’s more tangib

The other Faction Leaders around Xi Shen began feeling extremely envious of him. What they would do to get their hands on so many Academy Points, was unimaginable.Even the Faction Leaders up front haven’t come out of their dumbfoundment yet.“Head Elder, could you possibly reveal why you’re willing to give this useless prince so many Academy Points? What kind of contribution would warrant such a reward.”The person to speak those words were Sun Hua, the granddaughter of the current Patriarch of the Sun Clan, Sun Wu Fen, and the older sister of Sun Donghai, who happen to be standing behind his sister. She was also the current Faction Leader of the Extreme Yang Sword Faction.Her words were cold and emotionless, and from the way how she blatantly insulted Xi Shen, she seemed to not care that he was the second prince.Xi Shen’s face remain passive despite the obvious insult since he too wanted to know the reason for the Head Elder’s decision.“The secret hideout that was reported by the
