.....
Chen Ping'an looked at the information on the Golden Finger panel.
Tianlin Descends Peak!
He had finally stepped into the Inner Qi Third Level!
As the Heavenly Gate above his head opened, and Tianlin Descends Peak, Chen Ping'an only felt the Internal Energy in his body undergo another sublimation.
The Heavenly Gate opened quickly, but it also closed quickly!
It only lasted for a few breaths before gradually receding.
And the changes it brought...
With a slight thought, Chen Ping'an's Internal Energy began to surge wildly. In an instant, it reached his fingertips and then left his body.
Hiss!
The Internal Energy leaving his body caused the air to vibrate.
It shot forward a full ten feet before its power gradually weakened, until it slowly dissipated at a distance of less than twenty feet!
"The Internal Energy, purified and sublimated after Tianlin Descends Peak, has significantly increased its attack range."
Chen Ping'an sighed slightly.
The Internal Energy of the Inner Qi First Level could only attach to weapons, and only through the splash of weapon clashes could it cause a slight ripple in the surrounding area.
In the Inner Qi Second Level, the Internal Energy, after a certain degree of purification, could achieve a small range of detachment from the body. If the Second Level reached Perfection, this distance would be less than half a zhang.
And the Inner Qi Third Level, Tianlin Descends Peak...
Its power remained undiminished after ten feet, and its longest attack range could reach twenty feet!
Tianlin Descends Peak meant that the combat distance between Martial Artists broke through the limitations of weapons.
Rumor has it that the Profound Light Realm, which is above the Internal Energy Realm, has an even more terrifying combat distance. With the aid of the Spiritual Mind, they can even hover in the air for short periods, leading to more varied Moves and lethal techniques.
Feeling the boundless and surging Internal Energy within him, Chen Ping'an felt an unspeakable heroic spirit, and couldn't help but want to let out a long roar.
The Realm of Tianlin Descends Peak!
Perfection-level Golden Bell Cover, Perfection-level Swift Wind Saber Technique! And... the soon-to-be Perfection-level Eight Steps Catching Cicadas!
With these three high-grade Cultivation Techniques, he was enough to dominate a region within this Wei River Outer City!
According to his understanding during this period, the number of Martial Artists in the entire Wei River Outer City who could enter the Realm of Tianlin Descends Peak was less than ten!
For example, in the Outer Town Envoyship, only the two Commanders, and two mysterious Internal Energy grand enshriners, had reached this Realm. Besides them, only the influential forces in Wei River Outer City had Tianlin Descends Peak Martial Arts masters guarding them.
As for the Profound Light Realm, which is above the Internal Energy Realm, they were all gathered in Wei River Inner City!
After entering Tianlin Descends Peak, Chen Ping'an for the first time shifted his gaze from Wei River Outer City and truly began to seriously consider the entire Wei River County City.
Among the various large and small forces within Wei River County City, if one could produce a Profound Light Realm existence!
Then it would be considered an Inner City force! Looking at the entire Wei River County City, it would be considered a quasi-first-rate force!
Above quasi-first-rate forces were first-rate forces.
The mark of a first-rate force was having several Profound Light Realm existences within the force, so that the force's status would not drop due to the sudden death of a certain Profound Light Realm individual.
And above first-rate forces were the true top-tier forces that dominated the entire Wei River County City!
The top-tier forces in Wei River County City, for example, the Weishui Four Great Families!
The Liu Family, the Mu Family, the Fu family, and the Fang Family!
Among these Four Great Families, each Family had truly supreme masters who served as their ultimate foundation!
"Not enough! Not enough! Far from enough!"
Thinking about the power structure within Wei River County City, the heroic spirit that Chen Ping'an had initially felt gradually faded, replaced by even greater ambition.
In the distance, the golden morning sun pierced through the thick clouds, bringing dazzling light.
Chen Ping'an raised his head, his eyes burning with a fierce flame.
.......
After entering Tianlin Descends Peak, Chen Ping'an still lived a low-key life as usual. He regularly went to the Nancheng Suppression Office for high-level meetings.
Previously, in order to quickly cultivate the Swift Wind Saber Technique to Perfection, Chen Ping'an had put most of his attention on it. Now that the Swift Wind Saber Technique was at Perfection, Chen Ping'an also began to slowly allocate some energy to study Flying Star Swordplay and Great Vajra Palm.
In just a few days, both Cultivation Techniques were initiated.
Upon initiation, Chen Ping'an felt that his Martial Dao Realm had taken another step forward!
According to his own estimation, although he was not yet an old-timer among the Inner Qi Third Level masters, he was no longer comparable to when he had just broken through the Realm.
Time passed bit by bit, and from time to time, news of the Mu Family and the Fang Family could be heard.
Such as a certain industry of the Mu Family being affected by unknown factors, or some changes in the Fang Family's medicinal herb trade routes...
Clearly, the struggle between the two great families had gradually reached a fever pitch.
Just as Chen Ping'an thought that the game between the two great families would not stop anytime soon, the Outer Town Envoyship's process for clearing Fang Rui's charges was suddenly completed!
Fang Rui, who had been imprisoned in Nancheng Prison, was released on the same day.
On the day Fang Rui was released from prison, the Fang Family arrived in a grand procession of dozens of people. There were guards and beautiful maids, stewards and servants, and even an extremely luxurious double-horse carriage.
The gate of Nancheng Prison opened wide, and Fang Rui walked out. The prison Yamen Runners standing on both sides had pale faces and many looked unwell.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The Fang Family's guards rudely pushed aside the Nancheng Prison Yamen Runners and walked up to Fang Rui.
"Young Master!"
A group of guards respectfully knelt down.
Having been imprisoned for over a month, Fang Rui's condition was not very good. Looking at the kneeling guards, as if remembering the grievances he suffered in prison, he was filled with anger and kicked one of them.
"You blind fools! Why aren't you helping this Young Master up quickly!"
The guard who was kicked did not dare to show any disrespect. He immediately stood up and helped Fang Rui.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
Fang Shicheng ran up with a pained expression, carefully examining Fang Rui.
"It was this old servant's incompetence! I made Young Master suffer! Oh, the suffering!"
Looking at Fang Shicheng's appearance, he seemed more distressed than if his own son had been locked up, and it was unclear whether his posture was genuine or feigned.
"Useless! A bunch of useless people!"
"Young Master suffered inside! What were you doing, not one of you came to save me, your Young Master!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn Chen Ping'an!"
"Damn!"
Fang Rui vented loudly.
However, due to prolonged confinement, his energy was limited, and after venting for a while, his voice gradually subsided.
Fang Shicheng comforted Fang Rui: "Young Master, this old servant has arranged for the best physician to immediately recuperate your body."
After a few curses and scolding, Fang Rui was welcomed into the carriage like a star surrounded by the moon.
Before the carriage curtain fell, Fang Rui glared at Nancheng Prison with hatred, his face full of venom.
"You! The pain you made me suffer, I will repay it tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"
"Everyone will pay the price, not a single one will escape!"
"What I say, I will certainly do!"
Fang Shicheng bowed, pulling down the carriage curtain for Fang Rui. He looked at the gate of Nancheng Prison, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
"Come on, send Young Master home!"
The grand procession gradually headed towards the Inner City, leaving behind Fang Rui's bitter resentment.
Chen Ping'an stood on the upper floor of Nancheng Prison, watching the departing procession, and sighed.
"The days ahead, I'm afraid, will not be peaceful!"
