Rebirth starts with many children and good fortune

Xu Tianxin sighed inwardly, but his steps didn't falter as he moved through the winding alleys, each step feeling exceptionally heavy. He recalled his glorious days in the Red Lotus Society, when he was a figure admired by all, his every word and action capable of causing ripples.

Now, however, for a seemingly insignificant task, he had to conceal his identity, even evade these local bullies, inevitably stirring up resentment in his heart.

Xu Tianxin sneered in his heart: "Hmph! You fools, how could you possibly know what the 'Silk Thread Art' on me really is? It's not just a simple technique to aid bone training!"

He knew that with his aptitude, reaching the initial stage of Viscera Training was already considered incredibly lucky.

Reaching the later stage of Viscera Training would be like burning incense to the heavens.

But if possible, Xu Tian would naturally spare no effort to advance further.

His status as a Red Lotus Envoy couldn't guarantee his position and resources within the Red Lotus Society. Moreover, he had family to take care of. To give them a better life, he had to accumulate enough merit within the Red Lotus Society.

At the Divine General's request, to ensure absolute certainty, he didn't hesitate to personally infiltrate enemy territory, using wealth to suppress those families and attract their attention.

Everything was to ensure no mistakes were made, and to obtain the 'Silk Thread Art' as soon as possible.

"As long as I get through tonight," Xu Tian silently pondered, "tomorrow I will be like a fish in the sea, freely moving between various forces. With the assistance and cover of the cult members, who can find me in this vast sea of people?"

Seeing martial artists with not weak auras following behind, Xu Tian silently calmed his breathing, making himself less conspicuous.

He recalled his days in the Red Lotus Society, the glorious moments when the Eight Divine Generals fought side by side. Their strength was far beyond ordinary martial artists, each move containing area-of-effect destructive power.

"Even the weakest of the Divine Generals can take on a thousand men, they are true powerhouses," Xu Tian murmured in his heart, his eyes gleaming with longing.

Once he completed this mission, he should be able to accumulate enough merit to receive the Viscera Tempering Pill refined by the Jade Forest Dharma King, which would allow him to take his strength to the next level.

Xu Tian took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions, turning anger and unwillingness into motivation to move forward.

The Great Zhou Patrol Office had eyes and ears everywhere. If his identity was exposed, not only would the mission be difficult to complete, but it could also cause the Patrol Office to increase its search efforts, bringing great losses to the entire Red Lotus Society.

This responsibility was something Xu Tian couldn't bear.

He could only use his familiarity with the terrain to cleverly avoid the eyes and surveillance of various forces, while also silently calculating how to counterattack.

His solo trip to the Golden Breath Tower was precisely because of his superb movement techniques, which could avoid leaving more clues. The rest of the cult members were all in the East City, not far away.

Xu Tian couldn't guarantee that there weren't any spies he hadn't shaken off. He could only use his familiarity with the terrain and the Red Lotus Society's unique concealment techniques to make multiple detours to confuse the pursuers.

"Once I complete the mission, I will definitely come back and settle this score!" Xu Tian vowed silently in his heart.

The current predicament was only temporary. As long as he could successfully complete this mission and return to the Red Lotus Society, there would naturally be countless ways to make these prefecture city forces pay the price.

Xu Tian found a secluded inn to temporarily settle down. He sat by the window, looking at the brightly lit prefecture city outside, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

As an Envoy, he had to remain calm and rational at all times, and not be thrown into disarray by temporary setbacks.

Having been in the Red Lotus Society for a long time, he naturally knew some information that ordinary people couldn't access—the Left and Right Guardians, the Four Great Dharma Kings, the Eight Divine Generals—all were powerhouses far surpassing ordinary martial artists.

Even the weakest of the Divine Generals could use True Qi, being True Qi Realm experts who slightly revealed their strength. Among the masses of living beings, among the countless martial artists, how many could reach the peak?

According to the experts in the Society, the current environment was far inferior to that of a thousand years ago. Back then, the average level within the prefecture city was True Qi Realm, but now the prefecture city had fallen to the point where Viscera Training martial artists could have their say.

However, Xu Tian didn't dare to underestimate those forces at present. Before his strength reached a certain level, the saying "ants can kill an elephant" could still happen.

After resting briefly in the inn, he began to plan his next route, striving to avoid all possible surveillance and tracking.

The 'Silk Thread Art' was actually part of a technique containing a huge secret. Only a few people knew this secret, and Xu Tian was sent to seize the technique because of this secret.

Xu Tian vaguely learned the importance of the "Silk Thread Art" from the Divine General. A technique valued by an extraordinary expert like the Divine General must have extraordinary power and secrets. This pressure and expectation made him afraid to be careless or negligent in the slightest.

"Since I can't be sure if I've completely shaken off the spies, then I can only be more careful," Xu Tian thought to himself.

The spies and trackers who had been running around with Xu Tian, the man in black robes, suddenly lost track of him, and were naturally frustrated and angry.

But none of them had any good ideas, so they could only launch another human wave tactic to see if their people could still run into that man.

The technique that was about to be in their hands had flown away like this, and the faces of some of the leaders were not very good.

Cheng Feng was the same. From the initial momentum of certainty, to the way those wealthy merchants he had never met used silver to refresh his understanding of how to use silver,

to the black-robed man's competition for silver, the waves in his heart, until now that so many people had lost track of that man in black, he was also impressed.

"It seems there are still many things I need to learn!" Cheng Feng felt that this trip to the prefecture city was really worth it.

The gap between the various assumptions he had made and the actual experience made Cheng Feng completely understand what he needed in the future.

A glint flashed in his eyes, then disappeared. He called out to the Sword Hall disciples to stop searching and go to a nearby inn to rest.

Liu Luo, the Black Ear, led everyone directly to his own inn, after all, why pay if you don't have to?

Seeing that Cheng Feng and his large group were preparing to give up, the other forces shook their heads: "Such an opportunity is being given up like this, how short-sighted."

Ignoring Cheng Feng's actions, the gang members stirred up even more waves in the prefecture city, setting up eyes and ears on important routes, waiting for the black-robed man to appear and obtain the coveted 'Silk Thread Art'.

Every inn...

Xu Tian, seeing a group of people all heading towards this inn, felt a chill in his heart: "Have these people discovered me?"

Just as he was secretly on guard, he heard the waiter downstairs shout: "Shopkeeper, a hundred or so people are here to stay."

This made Xu Tian's raised heart relax slightly.
