As the first rays of dawn broke free from the shackles of night, painting the sky with a faint orange-red hue, and the sky was still dimly lit, Fang Han, already riding his flying sword, moved with lightning speed, cutting through the morning mist and arriving at the majestic city gate of Tianyuan County.
Tianyuan County, like a bright pearl on the vast map of Yanlong Kingdom, is one of the nine counties of Yanlong Kingdom and is renowned far and wide.
Compared to a small city like Yanming City, this county town was simply incomparable in its magnificence.
Looking up, Tianyuan County City resembled a sleeping behemoth, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
The city gate was tall and heavy, and every brick and stone bore witness to the vicissitudes and glory of the past.
Above the city gate, countless powerful bows and crossbows were densely packed together, their arrowheads gleaming with a cold light, like the fangs of a giant beast, ready to deliver a fatal blow to any invading enemy at any moment.
Countless soldiers in gleaming armor and heroic bearing stand guard here day and night, protecting the peace of this magnificent city.
Whether it's the bright sunshine of day or the stillness of night, the city gates are always open, welcoming visitors from all directions.
However, behind this seemingly undefended posture, once the flames of war were to break out, the city gates would be quickly closed, like an indestructible barrier, keeping the danger out.
At the same time, the formations on the city walls will be activated instantly. Coupled with the powerful bows and crossbows and the brave and skilled generals, this magnificent city will be like a beast awakened, capable of easily crushing most of the enemies who dare to invade.
Even when faced with small-scale beast tides launched by monsters or elaborate sneak attacks by demons, this city can steadily withstand the enemy's offensive and protect the safety of its inhabitants thanks to its sturdy defenses and powerful strength.
Fang Han did not choose to fly directly into the city on his sword, nor did he even consider riding a horse.
He walked slowly, stepping into the familiar yet unfamiliar Tianyuan County City.
The streets in Tianyuan County are all paved with thick bluestone slabs.
These bluestone slabs, polished by the passage of time, have long since become smooth and rounded.
As Fang Han walked along these streets, the bluestone slabs under his feet made a crisp sound, as if the footsteps of time were gently echoing.
The scene of his first visit to Tianyuan County involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
That was more than four years ago.
At that time, he was only sixteen years old and had not yet awakened his memories of his past life. In terms of cultivation, he was simply a complete waste.
He failed even the most basic body tempering, as if he had been cruelly abandoned by fate at the door of cultivation.
His family spent a great deal of resources to send him to the Dragon Abyss Sword Palace for his future.
Longyuan Sword Academy is an academy established by Longyuan Sword Sect, one of the three major sects in Tianyuan County.
Its purpose is to cultivate and discover those with talent for cultivation.
Anyone under the age of 25 who can break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm may be recruited as an outer disciple by the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect.
Once you step into the Dragon Origin Sword Sect, it means you will have the opportunity to be personally taught by more powerful masters, or even elders.
If one can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, one can become an inner disciple, thus leaping over the dragon gate and embarking on a completely different path of cultivation.
During my time studying at the Dragon Abyss Sword Academy, I found that the academy's management was not as strict as outsiders imagined.
After completing their necessary daily training tasks, they could still freely wander around the county town, and even go to taverns to drink and chat.
Some scions of prominent families even invited their friends and acquaintances to indulge in this rare leisure time, visiting brothels and enjoying song and dance performances.
At that time, the name of Tantai Qiuyue, the top beauty on the list of beauties in Tianyuan County, was renowned throughout the entire county.
She was like a dazzling star, illuminating the hearts of countless Sword Mansion disciples and becoming their unattainable white moonlight.
However, at that time, Tantai Qiuyue had already become the commander of the Demon Suppression Division stationed in Tianyuan County, thanks to her own strength and talent.
She held a high position, making her someone these Sword Mansion disciples could only look up to.
Fang Han suddenly thought of Tantai Qiuyue.
In his past life, he was betrayed by several women closest to him and almost lost his soul. Those painful memories still haunt him like a nightmare.
In this life, he rarely fell in love with women, as if afraid of being hurt again.
However, the only person he felt a special connection with was Tantai Qiuyue.
There seemed to be an unspoken understanding between him and Tantai Qiuyue.
They had a slight attraction to each other, but neither of them took the initiative to express their feelings.
Moreover, Tantai Qiuyue possesses the rarest Taiyin Sacred Body, while he possesses the Pure Yang Sacred Body.
If the two of them could become Daoist partners, it would undoubtedly play a huge role in promoting his cultivation, making his cultivation path smoother and allowing him to advance by leaps and bounds.
However, Fang Han cultivates the Creation Scripture and the Harmony of Qin and Se Technique.
These two techniques are incredibly powerful. Even without marrying Tantai Qiuyue, he could still cultivate them to their peak level step by step through his own efforts and talent.
Then he will be able to return to Tenglong Star, seek revenge on those eight beautiful Daoist partners, and wipe away his shame.
Therefore, he always maintained a natural attitude towards his feelings for Tantai Qiuyue.
In his view, these things between men and women cannot be forced; everything depends on fate.
He values the other person's character and loyalty more.
After all, one learns from one's mistakes, and he didn't want the tragedy of his previous life to repeat itself in this one.
