In the restaurant at the entrance of the Patrol Department. Su Yang, Sun Tianpeng, and Ye Jiang sat around a table.

As Su Yang had speculated, Ye Jiang and Sun Tianpeng’s relationship was actually not bad, but… They had been enemies since they were young.

One has strong martial arts but lacks agility. The other has excellent agility but lacks martial arts. Under the bickering, no one was convinced by the other.

But their relationship… It was really not bad.

In the past few days, every time Ye Jiang came back, he would drag the two of them to drink and eat. At the same time, they would talk about the grievances of the people in the cities under his management.

After a while, they became familiar with each other.

Although Sun Tianpeng was frivolous, he was a good person. His frivolous attitude was basically directed at Ye Jiang or those who made him unhappy. It was normal for him to interact with others.

In the past few days, they had been discussing how to address the grievances of the people and put an end to the oppression inflicted by certain influential families.

Su Yang simply said, “If they don’t listen, we fight them. If we can’t defeat them, we eliminate them.”

The two of them admired Su Yang’s actions, but they did not agree. Even the frivolous Sun Tianpeng did not dare to act like Su Yang.

He might be bold, but he wasn’t foolish. Offending so many people, how could he continue to survive? How could his family continue to thrive?

After chatting for a few days without any results, they changed the topic today.

They discussed how many disciples from various sects had gathered in Tianfeng Prefecture.

“In that case, the disciples of the various sects are gathering in Tianfeng Prefecture for resources?” After some understanding, Su Yang spoke softly.

“Not entirely,” Sun Tianpeng explained, “Some are here for reputation, for experience.”

“When it comes to reputation, it’s self-explanatory. After practicing for more than ten years, it’s not just for one’s own benefit. People want to establish a name for themselves and have an impressive title to share when they gather with other martial artists.”

“Otherwise, when a group of martial artists gather and everyone has a resounding title, it shows what great things they have done, who they have defeated. When it’s their turn and no one recognizes their name, it’s quite embarrassing.”

“At the same time, experience is also important. Just like me and that guy, entering the Patrol Inspectorate is also for gaining experience.”

“At this stage of cultivation, it’s useless to keep cultivating in seclusion. You must have actual combat and constantly fight. Only after you have new insights can you cultivate in seclusion to make progress.”

Sun Tianpeng also explained the reason in a few sentences.

Su Yang nodded in agreement. After all, isn’t wandering the martial world all about establishing a name for oneself?

As for cultivation… he didn’t feel much about it. His swordsmanship had no bottlenecks.

“Recently, Tianfeng Prefecture has become more and more restless.” Ye Jiang raised his cup and took a sip. “The evil cultivators keep appearing to cause trouble. We don’t even know how many evil cultivators have gathered in the entire Tianfeng Prefecture.”

“The current situation… There were already signs of what had happened in Bamboo Willow Prefecture twelve years ago.”

“I originally thought that the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect had been completely wiped out. I didn’t expect that it would make a comeback twelve years later.”
