The Way of The Dao

"The Young Miss really came!"

"Haha, now I can show my skills in front of her!"

"Shhh."

"Do you think the goddess Xinya will notice someone like you?"

"You never know!"

"Perhaps, seeing our capabilities against the demonic beasts, she will pay attention to us..."

"Hmph! Dare you boast in front of me? Clearly I'm the only one who will get the attention of the goddess Xinya!"

Murmurs and statements could be heard among a group of young men who were heading together to the outskirts of Star City.

The young men, especially those who had grown up, hoped to demonstrate their skills in order to impress the goddess of their hearts.

Each of the young men carried his weapon in his hands or on his back, while wearing somewhat rough armor. It seemed as if they were going to war.

Zhang Xinya was currently at the front lines along with the elders, as they led the group out of Star City.

"Elder Jinshian, what are the demon beasts we will face in order to train?" Zhang Xinya wanted to know what demon beasts they would face. Although on the surface she always showed calm and an excitement about facing demon beasts, inside she was still a little afraid, so she wanted to use this occasion to overcome her fears and get experience fighting monsters.

She had already faced other demonic beasts when her father took her outside once before. Those demon beasts were barely in the Bronze range, which was not difficult for her.

Old man Jinshian said, "Don't worry, Young Miss, most of the beasts you will face are in the Black rank, only some are in the Heaven rank, so there is no problem when it comes to your safety and everyone else's!"

Zhang Xinya nodded in appreciation.

She had been training hard to increase the power of her martial arts, so at this time she was a 2-star Heaven rank.

Elder Zhang Hai spoke: "The demon beasts we selected this time are: the crocodile Driclo with scales, its solid defense is ideal for you to learn how to execute your strength correctly.

The two-tailed tiger, Tiger Terigre, will force you to move quickly, so you can react quickly to future unexpected attacks.

The six-legged bear, Obsrae Bear, will push you to your limit and you will have to defend yourself hard while resisting with your whole body. These demon beasts are in the Black rank.

Later, we will go to the place where the Agnels Lions reside, which have a pair of wings over it, although it cannot stay in the air for long, it is enough for all to face one. Its power is in the 3-star Heaven rank. It would be excellent training for everyone in the group. So, you could find shortcomings and strengths with each other."

The old man Zhang Hai explained respectfully, while informing Zhang Xinya about the demonic creatures.

"Young Miss, you don't have to go far from us. Although the Zhang family's training place has always happened without any accidents before, we must still be cautious." Zhang Xie, who was one of the two women who was almost always at Zhang Xinya's side, reminded her.

Zhang Xinya nodded with a smile as she said, "I know, Aunt Xie. But I still want to train and get experience against the demon beasts. We will not know when there may be another large-scale attack by the demon beasts...".

A large attack by a huge horde of demon beasts, put the star city in crisis some years ago. The demon beasts were like a swarm of bees angry at having stolen their own honey.

Therefore, Zhang Xinya wanted to gain experience and increase her powers so that she could face the demon beasts.

"Attention! We will soon arrive at the area where the demon beasts are, so you have to be prepared before any situation. We will be watching, but we will only help you in case of a serious situation, therefore you will be alone and you will have to face those demon beasts by yourself. It is up to you if you want to face some demon beast alone or if you want to form teams. But remember, it's your individual skills that need improving first."

The old man Zhang Hai continued to speak with a serious and strong voice, reminding all the young people of the dangers they would face and the consequences they would suffer if they became too confident.

Ming family. Main hall.

"Lord! We've received notice that the Zhang family has already left Star City and are now heading to their training grounds!"

A person with a hood covering most of his face entered the main hall while kneeling and reporting to Ming Xian.

Ming Xian responded seriously: "Very well, inform them that once they all arrive at the place, I want them to wait for a while before attacking. I want the elders who are in charge of the safety of these brats to be confident and drop their guard so we can surprise them and finish them off once and for all!

Remember! It has to look like an unexpected attack by a demon horde. You mustn't let any of them get away from the place! If any of them manage to escape the siege, you must take care of it personally!

"First, we'll start by weakening the Zhang family's power. Once we take care of their resources and treasures, we'll proceed to the next phase of the plan. So you have to do the job properly and without fail!"

The hooded man nodded and before getting up and leaving, hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Sir, it has also been confirmed that the daughter of Patriarch Zhang, Zhang Xinya, is also in that group ... any instructions regarding her?

Ming Xian was surprised and frowned for a moment before saying, "You must capture her, we cannot allow her to die in the ambush. Zeng'er will be very pleased to have her. So make sure you bring her back safely."

The hooded man nodded respectfully and left the main hall.

Ming Xian had been waiting for a long time to begin the plan.

Earlier, he had made a preparation to see if it could work, by controlling a demon beast, Gorilla Kymon, and letting it enter the star city and wipe out the entire Mu family.

From then on, he proceeded to work out the plan to have full control of Star City.

Everyone should be under his feet!

The Ming family will be the one to rule over everything!

Ming Xian had secured every part of his plan, to prevent any mistakes and the entire plan from being ruined.

But, for some reason, he had been feeling anxious and worried.

He knew that there was only one variable that could make him cautious and worried: the young man who had supposedly surpassed the Legend rank, most likely in the God rank.

That young man had become his only obstacle in his whole plan.

Although, since the Lord of the City mentioned him that day, no one has seen him or heard from him in all this time.

Ming Xian only hoped that the bastard wasn't hiding in Star City. His plan would be a total failure if he ever intervened.

So he was sending for news of his whereabouts all along.

He wanted to give him gifts, fortune, women, anything he wanted to lure him to his side. They could even convince him to be on their side! And with him... the plan would be as easy as reaching out and killing an ant!

But, if he refused, they would have to find a way to kill him.

With his father's power in the Legend rank once established, they would find a way to kill him quietly. Then there would be nothing to stand in the way of his conquest of the star city!

Ming Xian only prayed that his plan would be successful and that this mysterious young man would never appear again.
