Chapter 338: Standing Up for Justice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Five months later.
Xu Ning and Guan Yue finally arrived at the southern border of the Barren Wind Region.
Over the past five months, Xu Ning had accumulated some energy units, but it was far from enough for him to advance to a rank five arcanist.
The resources of arcanists in this world were relatively scarce. Unless one was in an arcanist organization, it was difficult to gather effective resources.
“After passing through this mountain, we will truly reach the southern part of the Barren Wind Region…”
Xu Ning and Guan Yue were in a continuous mountain range.
This continuous mountain range was stretching out from the east to the west, separating the central and the south of the Barren Wind Region.
Xu Ning and Guan Yue found a place to rest.
Over the past few months, Guan Yue had basically become Xu Ning’s servant.
Whether it was collecting food or taking care of their daily needs, Guan Yue would do it.
Guan Yue had no complaints about this. She knew very well that she could only rely on Xu Ning for a long time to come.
“Have some…”
Guan Yue took out some dried meat from a cloth bag.
“Thank you very much.”
Xu Ning took it, ate the dried meat, and swallowed a mouthful of water.
Xu Ning was now a rank four arcanist. If he was in the Martial Arts World, he would be in the elementary level of the void realm. With this kind of strength, he no longer needed to rely on food to supplement his needs in the Martial Arts World. He could just rely on spiritual energy.
It was just that this was the world of arcanists. The transcendence attribute power mastered by arcanists had limited benefits on their bodies.
Although they could cause terrifying damage, their bodies were still essentially mortal.
Only after advancing to the seventh rank would the lifeform level of the arcanists undergo a real leap.
“Next, we have to try to join an arcanist organization…”
Xu Ning pondered and muttered in a soft voice.
“Brother Xu, this shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”
Guan Yue packed up the leftover food.
“It shouldn’t be difficult to join an ordinary arcanist organization, but it won’t be easy to join a powerful arcanist organization.”
A large arcanist organization usually cultivated talents internally and would rarely recruit outsiders.
Xu Ning and Guan Yue came to the southern part of the Barren Wind Region without any foundation to show. They were completely outsiders.
Guan Yue saw that Xu Ning was in deep thought, so she stopped disturbing him.
‘How do I join a powerful arcanist organization…’
Xu Ning was a little stumped.
For Xu Ning, only by entering a higher-level stage could he obtain more resources.
‘Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time.’
Xu Ning couldn’t find an answer.
Just when he and Guan Yue were about to move forward again, Xu Ning suddenly felt several powerful auras approaching.
“Rank four arcanists are approaching our direction!”
Xu Ning was instantly alert.
“Rank four arcanists are approaching?”
Guan Yue was shocked.
Guan Yue had received some guidance from Xu Ning over the past half year, but her aptitude was sadly average. She was still a rank two arcanist, and she had not made any substantial progress.
“Take an Aura Restraining Pill and hide here. I’ll go check!”
Xu Ning left without waiting for Guan Yue’s response.
Guan Yue calmed down, swallowed Xu Ning’s Aura Restraining Pill, and went into hiding.
On the other side, Xu Ning also restrained his aura and rushed towards the place where the strong auras were coming from.
Soon, Xu Ning carefully found the place where the arcanists with powerful auras were gathered.
“It’s a pursuit?”
Xu Ning hid on a tall lush tree.
He looked down from above. Two male arcanists, one old and one young, were surrounded by several men in black.
Among them, the old arcanist who was surrounded was a rank four arcanist, but he was in an extremely weak state and was seriously injured.
Among the several black-clothed people, two of them were also rank four arcanists. However, they were in good condition, and their strength completely suppressed the two that were surrounded.
After seeing the situation, Xu Ning did not act rashly. He continued to observe secretly.
“I will give up the position of institute head on behalf of my young master, so how about you let us go?”
The injured old man protected the young man behind him and looked angrily at the pursuers surrounding them.
“I’m sorry, but we have been ordered to bring back your heads.”
One of the rank four arcanists smiled and responded mockingly.
“You all are too much!”
The injured old man suddenly flew into rage. “Yin Qingleng has already obtained the position of deputy institute head, and we have also voluntarily given up our status as the successor of the institute head, so why are you still trying to kill us?”
“Don’t argue with this old man, quickly get rid of them and bring them back to report!”
The other rank four arcanist sneered and attacked the old man and the young man.
“Young Master, go quickly!”
The injured old man tore open an opening for him, then faced the two rank four arcanists alone.
“Want to leave? Kill them!”
The two rank four arcanists ordered.
After hearing this conversation, Xu Ning figured out the relationship between the pursuers and the pursued.
The young man who was called Young Master should have inherited the position of the institute head of an arcanist institution.
However, that arcanist institution was now controlled by the deputy institute head. Moreover, the deputy institute head wanted to become the official institute head, thus he wanted to kill the successor of the institute head and eliminate him.
“The fight for the position of the institute head…”
A strange look appeared in Xu Ning’s eyes.
‘Maybe this is my chance…’
A thought appeared in Xu Ning’s mind.
The battle below was still ongoing.
The young master had been captured by several subordinates in black, and the injured old man was seriously injured.
“You…”
The injured old man glanced at the young man with sorrow and anger in his eyes.
“Let’s deal with this old man first. As for this kid Lu Wang, we will capture him alive and bring him to the Institute Head.”
One of the rank four arcanists said.
“Okay.”
The other rank four arcanist agreed.
Just when one of them raised his hand and was about to condense a wind blade in his hand, they suddenly felt a sense of danger in their hearts.
“Be careful!”
The two rank four men in black reacted instantly.
They were about to dodge, but they felt that their bodies were being controlled by a heavy force. Their bodies felt like they had fallen into a quagmire, making it extremely difficult for them to move.
Puchi! Puchi!
Two corrosive arrows suddenly pierced through their chests.
“How could this…”
The two were furious. They didn’t expect there to be enemies lurking in the dark.
However, they were powerless to change the situation. They fell to the ground without a sound.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
Afterwards, several corrosive arrows shot out, killing the other pursuers.
