Ximen Wei had acquired several new Qi Techniques, each enhancing his abilities in a different way. One of the techniques was defensive in nature, fortifying his physical form and making it nearly impenetrable to blades and spears. This technique rendered him nearly invulnerable to mortal weapons, ensuring his safety even in the face of danger. Another technique was focused on movement, allowing Ximen Wei to traverse distances with the swiftness of the wind. Lastly, he had also obtained an investigative technique, which sharpened his vision and expanded his line of sight to unprecedented lengths. These new techniques were a testament to Ximen Wei's growing mastery of the art of Qi Cultivation, and the improvements they offered would serve him well in his future endeavors.

Additionally, over the course of the past several days, Long Gen had lent his assistance to Ximen Wei in his cultivation journey. He had provided clarification on various concepts and imparted valuable lessons on the intricacies of Qi Cultivation. Long Gen covered a wide range of topics, from the origin of Qi Techniques to the significance of having a well-rounded combat system. His teachings were invaluable to Ximen Wei's growth as a cultivator.

Ximen Wei was a veritable sponge, eagerly soaking up all the knowledge available to him. His path towards reaching the second level of Qi Trainee was now clear, and under Long Gen's guidance, it was only a matter of time before he achieved this coveted milestone. This prospect filled Ximen Wei with excitement

However, there was no time for contemplation or cultivation at present, for a decisive battle between Qi Cultivators was soon to unfold. Ximen Wei rose from his meditative state, bowing respectfully to Long Gen. He then positioned himself at Long Gen's side, ready to receive his next instructions.

"Wei'er, you must leave the city and journey to the Tang Mountains," Long Gen spoke, "There you will find our Immortal Devil Sect. Present this medallion upon your arrival and it will grant you entry."

Long Gen handed Ximen Wei a medallion, its surface intricately depicting a one-horned devil with a forked tongue. As Ximen Wei gazed upon the medallion, he felt a sense of multifariousness and constant change emanating from it.

"The Devil," Ximen Wei whispered to himself, his eyes fixed on the medallion in his hands.

"Yes, that is the Devil, the revered patriarch of our Immortal Devil Sect," Long Gen confirmed, his voice ringing with pride.

Ximen Wei bowed once more to Long Gen, expressing his deep gratitude for the opportunity he had been given. Without Long Gen's guidance and support, Ximen Wei would still be struggling on the deserted streets of Green Lotus City.

With a hearty pat on the shoulder, Long Gen encouraged Ximen Wei, "It is time for you to embark on your journey. I have arranged for an escort to accompany you to the outskirts of the city. I myself must attend to some pressing matters here, but I shall return to the sect soon. Remember, do not die along the way!"

Ximen Wei nodded in agreement.

A man, middle-aged and adorned in a sleek black robe, strode into the room with the air of someone who was familiar with his surroundings. He had a neatly trimmed goatee and a scarf that seemed out of place, its vibrant colors standing out against the somber hues of his attire. He cast a friendly gaze upon Ximen Wei, his eyes crinkling with a smile as he spoke, "You must be Ximen Wei. I am Luo Tingfeng, and I am here to serve as your escort."

Ximen Wei studied the man before him, taking in his every detail. A nagging sense of recognition tugged at the back of his mind as he remembered the recent raid on the Luo gang. Could it be possible that this Luo Tingfeng was connected to that notorious group? Ximen Wei couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this man than met the eye.

'Isn't it peculiar?' Ximen Wei mused to himself, 'I was under the impression that the leader of the Luo gang had fallen during the Criminal District's raid.'

However, it seemed that Ximen Wei's assumptions were far from the truth. Luo Tingfeng, standing before him with a calm demeanor, was in fact the true head of the Luo gang. And his influence extended far beyond just that title. He was not only a gang leader, but also one of the revered Overlords of the Green Lotus City Criminal District and a highly respected Rank 1 Qi Expert. The level 2 Qi Trainee who was reported to have fallen in battle was merely a mere underling, a pawn in Luo Tingfeng's grand scheme.

As Ximen Wei arrived at the periphery of the city, the ten cultivators garbed in black robes who were stationed outside the city walls stirred from their meditative states. Their auras exploded forth, shaking both heaven and earth, as they rose to their feet and unsheathed their weapons. One of them, a Rank 2 Qi Expert, held an archaic wooden bow that seemed to hold great power within its ancient form. He cast his gaze towards the city walls, his eyes piercing through them and landing unerringly upon the Green Lotus City Lord who was resting in the comfort of his mansion.

With fluid grace, the Rank 2 Qi Expert drew back the string of his bow. In a swirl of ethereal light, an arrow materialized, surrounded by a tiny vortex that seemed to consume the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, infusing it with an unparalleled power.

As the Green Lotus City Lord became aware of the impending danger, he acted quickly, activating the spell formation that served as the city's protective shield. The dome glimmered and pulsed with an array of brilliant hues as it fortified the city against the incoming attack.

The Rank 2 Qi Expert, clad in black, narrowed his eyes as he took aim. With measured precision, he took a deep breath and released the arrow from his bow. The ethereal projectile shot forth, soaring towards its target with devastating force.
