The Military King Is Back

Liuxue saw that the two of them had left, so she bid farewell to Yikun and told them to dispose of Wuhen and Lingbo's corpses. She didn't want to leave any clues behind, so she also wanted to leave with Jiao Fei.    

    

Before she left, Yikun taught Yikun how to hold his breath. It was a very simple action. Jiao Fei had mastered it in a short period of time. He cupped his fists and thanked Yikun before following Liuxue.    

    

"Ye Fei won't be in any danger, right? I think Dugu Ming has a strange tone. He really shouldn't have let them leave."    

    

Zhong Weiguo carried the two corpses on the ground and walked towards the outer perimeter of the desert.    

    

"It shouldn't be a problem. The most important thing for us right now is to listen to Ye Fei. Find his grandfather and ask him to help us talk to our superiors. We don't have much to say, and no one will believe us even if we tell others."    

    

Yikun shook his head and sighed. He continued, "Also, everyone must keep this a secret for Ye Fei. We must not tell anyone about this. Also, everything that happened during this exercise must be buried in his stomach. This concerns the life and death of every one of us. "    

    

"Don't worry, captain. We know how important this matter is. It's just that although we have only known Ye Fei for a short period of time, we have already regarded him as our brother. He is somewhat reluctant to leave like this."    

    

Zhong Weiguo found a place that was not easy to find and buried the two corpses. He rubbed the soil on his hands and spoke with a voice full of reluctance.    

    

"We will meet again sooner or later. However, during this period of time, Wild Sand Team must become stronger. I believe that everyone will benefit greatly from this exercise. When Ye Fei is useful to us in the future, I hope that he will be able to help us when the time comes."    

    

Yikun ordered his team members to open the beacons. Four thick smoke rose outside the anti-sand forest. Yikun and the others looked in the direction of Ye Fei and raised their hands to give a standard military salute.    

    

In just a few hours, Ye Fei and Dugu Ming had approached the headquarters of the Dugu Sword Sect. They did not rest on the way.    

    

A trace of light gradually leaked out from the eastern sky. The ground lit up. Under the sunlight, a huge group of buildings appeared in front of them.    

    

"That is the headquarters of the Sword Sect. It is the greatest achievement of the Hua Country in the past thousand years."    

    

Dugu Ming's eyes flickered, revealing an excited expression.    

    

Looking down from the sky, this huge building complex occupied hundreds of thousands of acres in the center of the desert. It was surrounded by greenery, like an oasis in the desert.    

    

Rows of green pine trees surrounded the large building complex, forming a segregation zone that separated it from the desert.    

    

"Do you see the building behind the green pine forest? That is the residence of the sect's outer sect disciples. The entire building complex was built according to the Eight Trigrams diagram, and it contains the Wind, Thunder, Fire and Water Formation. Even an expert in the Heaven Man Unity realm would not be able to break through this grand formation. "    

    

Dugu Ming said and pointed in eight directions. There were tall buildings in every direction, and these buildings formed eight groups.    

    

"East, west, south, southeast. Southwest. Southeast. Northeast and northwest. They are divided into Qian. Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan. Li. Gen. Dui. These eight positions reflected each other's brilliance, and even an army of thousands was unable to surpass them. The Dugu Sword Sect was able to build a foundation that lasted for thousands of years, and it really wasn't an undeserved reputation."    

    

Ye Fei looked at the eight positions. The various buildings were also set up according to the Yin and Yang Changes, and they looked majestic and imposing.    

    

Ye Fei was a little surprised. He had heard of the Dugu Sword Sect before, and knew that it was an ancient martial arts sect. He did not expect it to be so powerful, just based on these buildings alone. Using the Eight Trigrams Formation to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the Qi it emitted was... Just like Dugu Ming had said, if he were to barge in... He would definitely die inside.    

    

"Every building is protected by the eight great elders. Elder Lie is in the Li position, a fire element. However... They usually wouldn't be in these buildings. And then there was the Yin Yang Taichi, a circular building that surrounded the Taichi. That was where the inner sect disciples lived. Every year, they would be in the presence of the Grand Elders. Out of the tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, eighty would be selected. Become inner circle disciples."    

    

Dugu Ming continued his introduction.    

    

Ye Fei didn't say anything. He stretched out both of his hands, signaling Dugu Ming to continue.    

    

"After becoming an inner circle disciple, you will be able to receive the support of all the elders, but you still have to depend on your own talent. You can only say that your treatment will be much better than that of an outer circle disciple. You will know this once you enter the sect."    

    

Dugu Ming paused for a moment. He saw that Ye Fei was listening carefully. He nodded and continued, "Among the inner sect disciples, there will be a competition at the end of the year. The top eight will be selected by the eight elders. They will become the true disciples, but after every competition, the number one inner circle disciple will be selected by Elder Lie. The other elders could not do anything about it, it seemed like it had been all these years. It's a rule that has been decided."    

    

"Dugu Lieh is bullying his fellow disciples like this, and the other elders are just messing around with him? This elder of the Sword Sect is really cowardly. "    

    

Ye Fei said in a flat tone.    

    

"There's no other way. The sect has always been talking about strength. The other elders can only turn a blind eye to it. In the Sword Sect, strength represents everything. After becoming the Sect Master and Protector... We won't ask too much about the internal affairs of the sect, and even if the Sect Master knows what Dugu Lieh is doing... This is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years."    

    

Dugu Ming shook his head. He didn't feel angry because of what Ye Fei said, but there was a trace of helplessness in his tone.    

    

"These eight disciples will surely become true disciples in the future. They will probably enter the core position and obtain the true teachings of the elders."    

    

Ye Fei said.    

    

"That's right. These people will enter the core area. According to the different attributes of the sword technique, they will be divided into two sides. Do you see the two tallest pagodas? Those are the places where the true disciples practice martial arts."    

    

Dugu Ming pointed at the two towering pagodas below. One was black and the other was white. They looked exactly the same as the black and white in Taichi.    

    

"Where is Dugu Mei?" Ye Fei asked.    

    

"Oh, junior sister Mei. She is the daughter of the Sect Master. It is not an important matter for her to stay at the core of the formation. Elders are usually unable to enter."    

    

Dugu Ming looked at Ye Fei and said in a low voice.    

    

"It means that it will be harder for me to enter than to ascend to the heavens." Ye Fei shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly.    

    

"It's good that you know. The strength of an outer circle disciple is nothing. They are similar to the special forces, and the inner sect disciples are much stronger than the special forces. However, once you become a true disciple, you'll become a Grandmaster Stage warrior. I can't do anything to them, even my father Dugu Mie. He doesn't dare to offend a true disciple. These disciples will become the guardians of the sect in the future. The direct descendants of Dugu will become the elders, and the Sect Masters of the Sword Sect will only be selected among the elders. "    

    

After Dugu Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Fei, then he took out an ancient item from his backpack and handed it over.    

    

"You can change into this robe of mine. It's the disciple of the sect. Some wore ordinary clothes, some wore ancient clothes like this. But no one is wearing camouflage clothes. Follow me back like this. It's too fast. Also, you shouldn't be wearing your original appearance right now, right? If you know how to disguise yourself, it's best to change your appearance. Your previous appearance and current appearance... Dugu Lieh has a record of it. "    

    

After saying that, Dugu Ming turned around and slowly walked towards the Sword Sect.    

    

Ye Fei looked at Dugu Ming who was walking away. He knew... His life and death was completely under the control of someone else after entering the Dugu Sword Sect. This matter was much more difficult than any of his previous encounters. He might even lose his life because of this, but for the sake of the woman in his heart... Even if he had to die, Ye Fei would do it without hesitation.    

    

Ye Fei sent everyone away. He never thought that someone would come to rescue them. With the Dugu Sword Sect's influence in Hua Country, it wasn't something that could be controlled by just one or two higher ups. He only hoped that everyone would be safe and sound. This was already satisfying enough.    

    

Dugu Sword Sect was a sect that had been passed down for thousands of years. How many secrets did it have that no one knew about? Entering the Sword Sect meant that Ye Fei was completely separated from this noisy city. How long would it take to see Zhong Mei? How long would it take to reveal the true face of the Sword Sect? Whether or not he could defeat Dugu Lieh, these questions were like lingering nightmares. They lingered in Ye Fei's mind.    

    

Since then, the Weapon King was no longer the Weapon King. The bustling city had become a distant memory. For Zhong Mei and for the love in his heart, Ye Fei would rather give up everything.    

    

Ye Fei slowly stretched out his hand and took off the special forces hat on his head. He neatly put it together with the camouflage uniform he removed and bowed deeply. After giving a military salute, Ye Fei changed his appearance. He changed into the clothes that Dugu Ming had left behind and walked on a path that could not be turned back. The arrogant king of soldiers in the city no longer existed at this moment.    

    

The book was finished.
