Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen 92 Chapter 89: Meeting Glorious Sword Disciples

It was already evening and Xu Ming decided to stay inside for the night and get to work tomorrow. He didn't want to screw up in his hurry.

"I'd do some reconnaissance from tomorrow and see how I can achieve the target successfully," He muttered.

He started looking at the Beast Bag and the Sword of Xiang Feng that he had received.

"The sword is indeed one with better quality than the one I'm using. If I'm not wrong, it should be a Peak Mortal Grade sword. This guy was definitely someone special from the sect. I can't understand though. Why would someone like him target me? I haven't fought with anyone since I've been to the sect. What would make someone like him come after me?"  He thought with a frown on his face.

"I can't think of anyone that would hate me so much. Wait a minute, he was waiting for me near the Xiayi Kingdom. How did they even know that I was coming to the Xiayi Kingdom? There are only 2 people who know about it. The Punishment Elder and Wu! They must be involved. Now that I think about it, all this seems like a well thought out planned to get me out of the Sect," Xu Ming muttered to himself.

"Even though I know that, will anyone believe me? I don't think anyone would believe that the Punishment Elder or his disciple schemed against me. We haven't even interacted with each other before this after all. I'd just be punished if I go back without completing a mission," He said with a wry smile on his face.

"Sigh, Everything just got so much more complicated. I need to complete the mission and go back. My necklace is still inside the sect," He let out as he clenched his fist.

He only had this one clue and he decided that he would talk to Wu Tian about it when he goes back. As of this moment, he didn't have the strength to get answers from a Punishment Hall member Wu, but Wu Tian was stronger, so he might be able to.

Xu Ming thought about a lot of things and fell asleep unknowingly.

He slept for hours and woke up when it was morning.

He slowly opened his eyes. He abruptly sat up as if he was shocked to his core.

"H-how is that possible?" He exclaimed in shock.

He was quite shocked since the thing that has been happening to him for a long time, didn't happen last time.

Every time he slept, he dreamt of the boy. But this time, he didn't. In fact, there was no dream. He just found himself in a void as he fell asleep and in the next second, he found himself up.

He was wondering about it when he heard a knock on the door.

"Are you up?" A girl's voice came from outside.

"Yeah, I'll be right there," Xu Ming replied as he recognized that voice. It belonged to Xin.

He got off the bed and walked to the door and unlocked it.

Opening the door, he found Xin standing there. She was wearing a different set of clothes that gave him the feeling as if he was looking at the princess of the kingdom. The clothes she was wearing yesterday were good as well, but they didn't feel the same.

"Want to go outside with me? Father suggested that I should show you the city since you're new here," She told him.

"Oh right. You came at just the right time. I've been wanting to see the city as well. Do you have some clothes that a guy like me can wear though? As you can see, my clothes are destroyed," Xu Ming said.

Although he had clothes in his storage ring, if he wore those, he wouldn't be able to explain to her where he got the clothes from. So he asked her instead.

Xin looked to her left and gestured to a maid that way standing there with clothes in her hand. Since Xu Ming was inside the room, he wasn't able to see her.

"I knew about that. That's why I brought a set for you. You can take these clothes," She said with a smile as she took the clothes off the hands of the maid and gave them to Xu Ming.

"Thanks. Just give me a minute, I'll be right back," Xu Ming said as he closed the door and changed his clothes.

He placed the old set of clothes back in his storage ring and opened the door.

Xin was still standing there, waiting for him.

He walked out of the door and closed it.

"Let's go," Xu Ming told her.

"Sure. Come with me. We'll travel through most of the city in my carriage. We can stop and walk through the important places of the city on foot since we can get a better view of things," Xin said as she turned back.

Xu Ming followed her and they soon reached the exit of the clan.

Unfortunately, they again met their Aunt Xi along the way.

"Xin, I would like to apologize to you for doubting you. I hope you can forgive this aunt of yours," Xi told Xin.

"Also, you. My brother told me that you're the son of his friend. I'm sorry for calling you a beggar yesterday. I misunderstood everything," She said as she looked at Xu Ming.

'Interesting. She's not arrogant enough to not accept her mistake and apologize. So far, I have a nice impression of their Clan, but it's impossible to see the true face of a person,' Xu Ming thought as she looked at the woman.

"It's alright. You don't need to apologize to me. It was just a misunderstanding. I can understand," Xu Ming said.

"Great. Are you guys going outside?" She inquired.

"Yes Aunt Xi," Xin replied.

"Alright. Be careful when you're outside," Xi said before she walked past them.

Xu Ming and Xin left the mansion of the Ling Clan. They got inside Xin's carriage which left the mansion.

As the carriage traveled, Xu Ming kept looking outside through the window. He saw a lot of people, but no disable of the Glorious Sword Sect.

The carriage traveled for around 10 minutes before it stopped.

"This will be our first stop. It's called the Fragrance Court. It's more like a cafe where people come and have a drink with their friends. The Spirit Wines of this place is said to be the best in the whole kingdom. Let's enter, you'll get a better understanding," She told Xu Ming before she got out of the carriage.

Xu Ming also got out and followed her inside the place.

The fragrance court looked like a normal 1-floor building from the outside, but as he entered, he saw that the inside was just like a big garden.

The whole ground was covered in some special gra.s.s that was giving out a beautiful fragrance.

There were around a hundred round tables in that place at a proper distance from each other.

Each table had 3 chairs around it.

Around 70-80 tables were already filled. He followed Xin and sat on a table selected by her.

Xu Ming looked through all the tables and he saw that amongst those 70-80 chairs, more than 50 were occupied by the people that matched the description of the Glorious Sword Sect disciples.

Xu Ming could see the light blue sword symbol on their clothes. It was his first time seeing the disciples and he couldn't help but compare them with the disciples of the Mighty Demon Sect.

'They don't look as threatening as the outer sect disciples of the Mighty Demon Sect. Most of them look older than 20 and they're still in the Body Refining Realm, so their talent is mediocre as well,' He thought as he looked at them.
