Wu Zongshen had broken through, and not only that, but he had also reached a level far beyond Jian Chen'an.
Qi Tiandou even glanced at Wu Zongshen with a bit more appreciation: "I didn't expect him to be quite capable."
The next day.
As if nothing had happened, Wu Zongshen continued training with everyone in the Northern Territory and generously shared all his insights with his junior disciples.
In recent days, his junior disciples' progress had also significantly accelerated.
Originally, Lin Xiao thought he could leave with Qi Tian after spending the New Year with his brothers. However, he unexpectedly encountered trouble.
He was trapped in the Northern Territory.
"What does this mean?"
Lin Xiao frowned, looking at the red-lettered document placed on his desk. The document clearly stated that he could not leave until after the Lantern Festival.
No further details were provided.
He also attempted to inquire with the elders in charge, but everyone gave him a consistent answer.
They told him to obediently stay in the Northern Territory.
"Brother Xiao, could it be that the higher-ups think you took too long of a vacation before, so they need you to stay on duty a few more days?" Ye Chen was also unsure, but he offered the only plausible explanation he could think of.
"Impossible."
Lin Xiao immediately dismissed the possibility.
If that were the case, there would be no need for a red-lettered document. His superiors would have simply given him a verbal instruction, and he would have dutifully stayed in the Northern Territory for a while longer. He understood that as the Dragon King of the Northern Territory, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be constantly with his wife and children in Shashi.
However, receiving a formal document meant something significant was afoot, yet he was not allowed to know what it was.
Ye Chen scratched his head. Other than fighting and training troops, he knew nothing else. After Lin Xiao rejected his idea, he couldn't come up with any other possibilities.
"Forget it. Go check on the Divine Doctor. He should be sparring with those people from the Misty Immortal Palace right now?" Lin Xiao waved his hand, too lazy to overthink things. He decided to accept the situation and explained it clearly to Luo Qinghan.
Since there was an order from above, he, as a soldier, had to obey.
"That's true. That kid has also reached the peak of Mingxin recently." Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he mentioned this, looking eager.
He had long wanted to spar with the people from the Misty Immortal Palace. He hadn't expected the Divine Doctor to get there first. He had to go and join the fun.
"The Ning family's inheritance should not be underestimated." Although Lin Xiao was a little surprised, it was still within reason. Given the previous incident, he would undoubtedly spend more time cultivating. Furthermore, after studying all the Ning family's inheritances, his cultivation speed would certainly accelerate.
He just didn't know if that kid had also refined the Bone of Immortality.
Probably not. That thing was harmful to heavenly principles and had extremely strict requirements.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the training ground. The Divine Doctor was standing in the center of the arena, one hand behind his back, and the other extended towards the people from the Misty Immortal Palace, beckoning them with his fingers.
"Next one!"
His voice was extremely loud, and this shout drew enthusiastic cheers from the surrounding soldiers.
