Shen Yuan covered the 10,000 km distance in a mere few minutes just as he thought.

He now standing before the gates of the Gui City, scanned the whole place and saw that to enter, one must have a entry jade. But then he felt as if he was being watched, but there was no one here or the next few thousand km, so he ignored it and bought an entry jade.

After showing it to the guards, he entered the city. The city was just as big as the rumors said, citizens continued to do their daily work as the road seemed to be very lively. This also made him a little sad as he has no home to return to or a family, and his parents are unknown.

Ignoring the sadness in his heart, Shen Yuan went to a guest house for closed door cultivation.

After entering his room, he sat cross legged. He started to concentrate on breaking through to the next layer of the qi gathering realm.

After hours of cultivation, when the sun started to set, he finally opened his eyes, he could fell the power in him, he was close to a breakthrough…

He stretched his limbs and exited the guest house and walked along the street, The streets were filled with people and was practically bustling, as if there was a festival.

Shen Yuan felt empty inside as if he had nothing, while Shen Yuan was reminiscing about the past in this peaceful moment, but peaceful moments don’t stay for long.

A flying sword came straight from behind Shen Yuan aiming at his heart.

Feeling danger out of nowhere, Shen Yuan jumped, avoiding the sword by a moment.

Seeing the sword’s direction, Shen Yuan ran towards it and reached the outside of the city.

“Someone attacked me from this far?!”, Shen Yuan frowned

Then a figure wearing green robe, appeared from behind a tree, and was holding a leaf?

Shen Yuan was struck more as he saw the person, it being obvious why he couldn’t sense his presence, this person was…., at 9th layer of qi gathering realm, the peak of qi gathering.

“Why did you attack me?”, Shen Yuan tried to compose himself and spoke.

“Easy kid, I just want your cultivation, if you give it to me, I will let you go, simple.”, The man spoke

“You can call me Gui Xiao, kid, think of it as your honor to die for me!”, The man named Gui Xiao spoke up and threw the leaf he was holding, the leaf began to solidify as if it was made of metal, Shen Yuan couldn’t even see it coming, as it grazed his cheek, forming a cut as it started to bleed slightly.

Shen Yuan was very much shocked ow that, he couldn’t even react to this person.

Even though there were only 4 layers of difference between them.

Shen Yuan felt danger from this person. Sensing he didn’t had much of a chance, Shen Yuan started to run, crossing thousands of kilometers with each step, Gui Xiao just behind him, like a tail.
