Shi Lang had just came back to the ranks of the human army when someone appeared before him. He saw a man dressed in a ck armor with golden ents to it. He guessed the identity of the person, and the man before he said, "Fellow Daoist, my name is Yang Han, I am themander of this fort. Pleased to meet you."


    Shi Lang returned the greeting by cupping his fist and asked, "What can I do for you, Commander Yang?"


    Yang Han shook his head and replied, "I dare not ask you to do anything for me. You are a brilliant Tianjiao of this age, with those skills I am not qualified to order you. An elder of my n hase over and he invites you over."


    Shi Lang''s brain began to spin and he was thinking why this old man could even ask from him. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Would it be alright if I bring a friend along?"


    Commander Yang Han nodded and Shi Lang called for Ye Lia. The youngdy came quickly and then they followed Yang Han. The attack from the earth wolves hade to a stop. They did not have the guts to go ahead and fight without a newmander.


    Yang Hao bought the two people back to the top of the city wall and they stood before an old man. Shi Lang cupped his fist and said, "Greetings, Senior."


    The old man smiled and asked, "Young man, your skills sure are surprising. I have always thought that the younger generation would leave the older generation in the dust, but today I have seen it happen."


    Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You praise me too much, senior. Please tell, me what can I do for you?"


    The old man said, "I wonder if you would like to join the Yang Family? I promise to get you amander designation as a start."


    Shi Lang smiled and without wasting any second he said, "I apologize, Senior. I already have a master, and I am affiliated to Miss Tong Bai, the youngdy of the Tu family."


    The old man was surprised and looked at Ye Lia who greeted him with a salutation and said, "Tu Ye Lia, greets senior Yang."


    The old man nodded after regaining hisposure, and said, "I have been rude to you, forgive me."


    Shi Lang shook his head and then asked, "May I ask you something Senior?"


    The old man agreed and Shi Lang asked, "Can you tell me why are we waiting for the enemy to attack us?"


    Elder Yang smiled and said, "Dao can be achieved in ten thousand ways. Do you understand?"


    Shi Lang nodded and the man said, "So you mean to say that these worlds all are connected to the path of Dao, if one of them goes off, the rest of them will also close?"


    The old man nodded and said, "Smart enough. Well, now that I know you have a master, I will not ask you too much. However, be careful when you go back. The Situ family seems to have hired a professional assassin toe after your neck."


    Shi Lang smiled and replied, "Family Head Situ sure wishes to bring death upon him and his worthless seeds. Thank you for your advice, Elder, I will be on the look out."


    Ye Lia said, "We got the merit and the situation is under control. We can go back and do other tasks."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "Good."


    They talked to the elder for a bit and then bade him farewell. The two of them left the ce quickly, the progress had been recorded in their hunter badges, and the old man said, "Xiao Han, I will leave and go to Family head. I will tell him what happened here and how that young man saved so many lives."


    Yang Han nodded and said, "I wonder if that young man would grow strong enough to climb the ranks of the Tianjiao list."


    The old man nodded and said, "Don''t worry, he will do it for sure. How many Tianjiao can actually kill a Dao King at the Dao General level? He is not even at the peak of his realm."


    ...


    Shi Lang and Ye Lia came out of the battlefield and then headed over to the city. Ye Lia asked, "What do you want to do after this? I don''t think they will have many tasks with your level now. ying an enemy Dao King means you will step up to the golden rank this time."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "I will take up the examination for forging association. I want to refine artifacts. A lot of them."


    Ye Lia was surprised, and asked, "Are you not satisfied with your alchemy skills?"


    The young man shook his head and said, "Forging can help one understand the principals of Dao. I cannot sum it up in words, but I want to do it. I wonder if they have an forger alliance inside the Frontier City."


    Ye Lia shook her head and said, "You would need to go and visit the ck Rock Mountains. That is where you will find one of the allied races and also the most ingenious of the forgers."

    Shi Lang asked, "What do you mean when you say allied race?"


    Ye Lia smiled, "Is it not self exnatory? A race that is not enemies with the humans, the dwarven people."


    Shi Lang was stunned and then he grabbed her hand and they vanished from their spot. In the void, Lady Yao sighed and said, "I have no idea what to do with this kid. How can he be so excited, they are just dwarves."


    ...


    Shi Lang and Ye Lia came back so quickly and the elder was shocked, but when he watched the footage of the war, his soul seemed to have left his body. He went up to the elders and when they all said it was authentic, he raised Shi Lang''s rank to the golden level.


    At this moment, a citywide announcement was made from the inner city where the house of the Yang family was, "The Yang Family thanks Daoist Shi Lang, who fought resisted the attack of the Earth Wolves, and also yed an enemy Dao King while being in the Dao General realm.


    The Yang Army rewards Daoist Shura with ten thousand military merits, and also the title of Lightning Battle God."


    The soldiers of the Yang Family cheered and Shi Lang who had just came out of the Hunter''s association held his head and said, "How will the assassin dare toe to me now? I wanted to rob them."


    Ye Lia almost fell to the ground when she heard this before she sighed and said, "I will not follow you, it is bad for my health. Goodbye, Uncle Shi."
