My Cultivation Starting from Archery

In recent days, the city has been under martial law, with wanted posters plastered everywhere.

It is said that many High Realm Martial Artists from the sects have died.

Overnight, Tongxuan Sect and Luoxia Manor of Liangzhou's seven major sects each lost five or six True Disciples, in addition to several dozen Inner Sect Disciples, including one talented individual with the Bear Gang's mighty physique. With such a commotion, astonishingly, not a single eyewitness has come forward.

After their deaths, each of their Heart Blood was taken, naturally leading to the assumption that it was the work of the Witch God Sect.

"That shouldn't be the case,"

Chen Sansi was puzzled.

To invade the depths of two sects at the same time and kill so many indicates that the Witch God Sect must be a group, not an individual. But this is Liangzhou—home to the Eight Camps and Sun Xiangzong.

For a large number of Witch God Sect Followers to hide, there must be a haven for them; it's impossible that they could be forever elusive.

Even Xiang Tingchun was able to find clues from the Golden Bell Temple previously.

It doesn't make sense.

Unless the Witch God Sect has some special method.

Chen Sansi wasn't just speculating aimlessly.

Once he took up his post at the Eight Camps, he was highly likely to participate in hunting down the Witch God Sect.

And he was eager to learn from the higher-ranking Witch God Sect Followers about the whereabouts of the "Immortal Treasure" equipment, as well as the purpose of the previous Blood Sacrifice, and of what use it was to kill Martial Artists?

The black qi in the mountains...

Could it be related to the Witch God Sect?

"Sigh!"

Lost in thoughts, Chen Sansi reached the entrance of the garrisoned inner city and dismounted his horse.

Qian Xun went off to play on his own steed.

Just like a house dog let loose outside that reliably returns home for meals, except that he could be called back at any moment, ensuring there was always a horse to ride when needed.

Within the military city, at the Martial Arts Arena.

The Selected Spear Generals had mostly arrived.

Including Cao Fan, Yin Hanwen, and others.

However, Fang Qingyun announced that Yin Hanwen had given up on the Selected Point examination and forfeited by default.

"Brother Yin!"

Chen Sansi slapped Yin Hanwen's shoulder, "Why did you withdraw from the examination?"

"Ah—"

Yin Hanwen screamed in agony, his face contorting, almost collapsing to the ground.

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing?!"

Wen Qiushi was furious, rushing forward to support him.

"Ah?"

Chen Sansi looked surprised, "I'm truly sorry, I was not aware that Brother Yin was injured. No wonder you gave up the Selected Point. What happened, could it have been the work of the Witch God Sect Followers?"

Yin Hanwen, sweating from the pain, said through gritted teeth, "Exactly, on my way back from the tavern to my residence a few days ago, I encountered a group of Witch God Sect Followers and got stabbed by a sword. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop them."

"So Brother Yin, you are the only eyewitness!"

Chen Sansi asked, "Did you see where they went? The entire city is hunting for the Witch God Sect now. If they can be found, it would be a great accomplishment."

"Haha, no such luck,"

Yin Hanwen said cynically, "Their Qinggong was exceptional. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, and I couldn't catch up with them."

"So it is. Brother Yin, take good care of your injuries,"

Chen Sansi bowed and turned to leave.

Your next chapter awaits on empire

It seemed that Yin Hanwen was the one he had hit.

With a transparent hole through his shoulder, and even a piece of bone missing, it would take a long time to heal, even with treasure medicine.

...

"Princely Heir!"

Yin Hanwen's voice was distorted from the pain, "Did you see that? He's so arrogant!"

"It was your idea. If you're injured, just bear with it!"

Cao Fan's expression was emotionless, "But don't worry, Hanwen, I'll avenge you. He shot you with one arrow, and I'll at least cut off one of his arms, cripple him for sure."

"Thank you, Princely Heir."

Yin Hanwen said resentfully, "That man is adept at the refining organs skill. Who knows where he got the guts to fight back. During the competition, Princely Heir, you can take him down within five rounds."

"Do you even need the Princely Heir? I'll cripple him if I come across him,"

Wen Qiushi said disdainfully, "Actually, he might not even get through the first round of the formation. There's no need for us to act personally."

"True,"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yin Hanwen sneered, "Leading a bunch of rag-tag troops from the backwoods, no matter how they train, they're still just that. No matter how exquisite the formation, it will scatter at the first charge, crumble at the first kill!"

"I heard the Supervisor cherishes his soldiers like his own children. Could this move be just to perform for the Lord Governor?"

"This kid is indeed scheming. Knowing his humble origins and that his talent is good but not supreme, to secure a good future, he must catch the attention of those above. First, he earned His Majesty's favor by leading civilians across the river, and now he seeks to prove he is loyal and compassionate towards his old comrades to win over the Supervisor. Quite the strategist he is."

"You're overthinking. The Supervisor may appreciate loyal and compassionate individuals, true, but if he drags a bunch of useless trash onto the field, couldn't Sun Dushi see through his showmanship? It will only backfire."

"Exactly, at the end of the day, it's the ability to lead soldiers that's being tested."

"Let him be falsely benevolent; we'll just wait and enjoy the farce."

"..."

The supporters of the various Princely Heirs were all talking at once.

But it was Cao Fan himself who spoke up gravely, "Perhaps not."

Wen Qiushi asked with suspicion, "What do you mean by that, Princely Heir?"

"I've had someone observe how his soldiers train,"

Cao Fan spoke calmly, "Those soldiers who escaped from a small county in Yunzhou, under the command of an old man, practice the formation very solidly and smoothly. Despite coming from a small place, they've all been through life and death struggles; they're not as weak as you all say. In this first test, in my opinion, he should have no issue."

The Capital City has specifically sent a message saying if there is a chance, he could make contact with Chen Sansi and see if he can be drawn to our side.
