Chapter 28: The Path of Life and Death in Martial Hall

The Yates Family of Xanth City is one of the three great hereditary families of Xanth City. What is a hereditary family? Like the five great Sects, but the Yates Family, unlike the Sects, only passes on its legacy to descendants with blood ties. The closer she got to the Yates Family, the more nervous and uneasy Raelyn felt. Titus could understand Raelyn's feelings at this moment. Because since Titus's parents went on a long journey when he was young, they never returned. At first, Titus thought his parents had just left temporarily, but as he grew up, he realized that they might have had an accident, otherwise, why haven't they returned to the Xenos Family in Sparrow Capital for so many years? If they were still alive... Titus guessed that he would also be as uneasy as Raelyn when he saw them. "Sooner or later, you'll have to see them, don't be nervous," Titus consoled. "Alright," Raelyn nodded slightly, calming down a bit. "the Yates Family's important place, no idle people near, or you'll be responsible for the consequences!" The guard at the gate of the Yates Family scolded. "We want to see Walter, please let this brother pass the message," Titus said. "Walter?" The leading guard of the Yates Family sized up Titus and Raelyn, then said, "Wait here, I'll go in and report." After speaking, he turned and entered the Yates Family. Moments later, an elder in a golden martial robe was the first to rush out. "You want to see Walter?" The elder in the golden martial robe looked at Titus and Raelyn, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why do you want to see Walter?" "My family said that my father is Walter of the Yates Family in Xanth City..." Raelyn couldn't help but speak. "Your father?" The elder's face changed immediately, sizing up Raelyn, hesitated for a moment, then took out a crystal clear bead, handed it to Raelyn, and said, "Hold it and release your true qi into it." Raelyn didn't understand, but she did as she was told, holding the bead and then injecting true qi. As true qi was injected, the bead emitted a faint white vapor. Seeing this white vapor, the elder in the golden martial robe frowned, took back the bead, and then waved to Titus and Raelyn, saying, "You can go." "Senior, isn't Walter here?" Titus asked with a frown. "Yes, Walter has long been gone from the Yates Family, and you should not come again," the elder in the golden martial robe said impatiently, waving his hand. "Can Senior tell us where Walter is?" Titus quickly asked. "I don't know, don't bother me!" The elder in the golden martial robe snorted and turned back into the Yates Family without paying any more attention to Titus and Raelyn. Titus wanted to ask more, but Raelyn stopped him. “Xenos, let's go. I came to Xanth City just to try, and I didn't have much hope." Raelyn shook her head, then smiled bitterly at Titus: "Besides, even if I find him, what's the use? He hasn't come back to find me and my mother for so many years, he must have forgotten us long ago. Maybe, he doesn't even know I exist. My coming to Xanth City was just to fulfill a wish. It doesn't matter if I don't see him." "No matter what, since we're here, we must see him. Don't you want to ask why he didn't go back to find you and your mother?" Titus said. Raelyn bit her lower lip. She naturally wanted to know, but now the Yates Family wouldn't let her in, and whether Walter was really not in the Yates Family was also uncertain. "Junior Yates, don't worry, wait until I enter South Figaro Martial Hall, and then I'll find a way to help you inquire about your father's news," Titus said. "Alright then." Raelyn nodded. Then, Titus took Raelyn and left the Yates Family. At the gate of the Yates Family, two gazes watched them leave. "Is that girl the only daughter born outside by Seventh Uncle?" a young man with a golden crown and sharp brows said indifferently. "She said so, and I tested her with the measuring bead, she indeed has the bloodline of our the Yates Family," said the elder in the golden martial robe. "How is her talent? Has she inherited Seventh Uncle's abilities?" Michael Yates asked with a frown. "See for yourself." The elder in the golden martial robe took out the measuring bead. Seeing the white mist moving inside the bead, Michael snorted, "Seventh Uncle is a rare genius in our the Yates Family in a hundred years, and I thought his offspring would inherit some abilities. Unexpectedly, it's the opposite of prosperity, and it turned out like this." "That's why I told them to get lost, our the Yates Family does not raise useless people," said the elder in the golden martial robe. "And that boy?" Michael asked casually. "He's also a half-useless person, although his cultivation has reached the Element Integration Stage, but his Sea of Qi is only thirty percent," said the elder in the golden martial robe indifferently. "A useless person and a half-useless, really a perfect match," Michael sneered, then waved his hand, "Never mind them, tell my father I'm going back to South Figaro Martial Hall." "Second Young Master, are you going back to South Figaro Martial Hall so soon? Won't you stay at home for a few more days?" the elder in the golden martial robe asked in surprise. "No, I still have examination duties. This time's entrance examination, I not only need to help supervise the examination with the steward, but I also need to help two people pass the selection. Those two guys have older brothers in South Figaro Martial Hall, and I have a good relationship with them. If this can be done, it can win them over," said Michael. "If that's the case, Second Young Master, you go ahead and be busy," the elder in the golden martial robe quickly said. ... Titus found an inn, settled Raelyn, and then came to South Figaro Martial Hall alone. South Figaro Martial Hall is one of the top forces in Xanth City, originally known as South Figaro Academy, later promoted to Martial Hall, and its main function is to cultivate outstanding martial cultivation talents. "Do you have a qualification token?" The person guarding the entrance of the Martial Hall stopped Titus who was trying to enter South Figaro Martial Hall. "Qualification token?" Titus frowned. "You don't even know about the qualification token, and you want to participate in the competition for a place in the Hall? People like you, dreaming of entering South Figaro Martial Hall? You're delusional," the person guarding the entrance of the Martial Hall sneered. The surrounding martial cultivators laughed. "May I ask, how can I obtain a qualification token?" Titus asked indifferently. "I already told you, stop dreaming, but you still want to dream?" The person guarding the entrance of the Martial Hall was somewhat annoyed, but soon suppressed his anger, and then continued, "You want to get a qualification token, right? Well, I'll tell you a way. Do you see that bronze gate over there? Go in there, and then someone will tell you what to do." Titus nodded, turned, and walked towards the bronze gate. "He really went?" "Is this guy a fool? That's the life and death path of the Martial Hall, does he really not know, or is he pretending not to know?" The onlookers shook their heads in disbelief, Titus was courting death. There are two paths to the entrance of South Figaro Martial Hall, one is the main path, which is the main entrance of the Martial Hall, where the Martial Hall personnel come and go. The other path is called the path of life and death. This path was created by the first generation master of South Figaro Martial Hall, and it is set up with numerous mechanisms. Entering it is a matter of life and death. However, if someone can pass through this path of life and death, they can be exceptionally accepted as a member of South Figaro Martial Hall. In the early years when the path of life and death was established, countless martial cultivators entered it, resulting in nine deaths and one life, even if they survived, their bodies were broken, and they were ruined. The path of life and death has existed for over five hundred years, and in these five hundred years, only two people have managed to survive the path of life and death.
