RED CLOUD WARRIORS

Chapters 2. Situation Recognition

As Xue Yuan's subordinates approached, they immediately raised their bodies and immediately laid them on one of the carts they had.

As for the Shang Shu noble himself, his life was no longer helped.

The subordinates of Xue Yuan immediately gave first aid to their leader in order to be saved.

But the distance they would travel from the place to arrive in Yin city was still 30 kilo meters away.

That distance was also very far to go considering that Xue Yuan was already in such a critical state.

So while still in the middle of the journey, Xue Yuan finally breathed his last.

Now the bodies of the two are in the same wagon.

The group now continued their journey to return to Yin City with a sad heart.

***

The Xue Clan was one of the clans that came from the Shang tribe, a clan founded by an aristocratic noble family named Xue Jian.

The Shang people are from the eastern part of Xin country.

Xue Jian was the patriarch or the first head of the family to lead the Xue Clan.

In the days when Xue Jian lived, the weak would always be oppressed by the strong and it still holds true today.

Because Xue Jian was a warrior who was very reluctant in his time, so he established the Xue clan in order to clan - clan, tribe - tribe, the martial arts college as well as the existing sects, would not easily offend his descendant's family.

Xue Jian had also served as a general in Xin Country.

And because of his services that were able to seize the cities controlled by the bar tribe - bars located in the north of the Xin country, so he was made the ruler of Yin city by the Xin king.

Yin City itself was located in the former Sanmiao tribal region that had been defeated by the Xin state.

The city that became the center of the Sanmiao tribe itself is located in Zhongyuan city, which is 190 km from Yin city.

The position as the ruler of the city was also part of the Xin king's strategy for Xue Jian to become the first defensive wall if he got an attack from the bar-bar tribe that Xue Jian had kicked out.

After two hundred years had passed, the Xue clan still remained the ruler of Yin City, but the current situation was no longer the same as the situation when Xue Jian became the ruler of Yin City.

Because back then everything related to Yin city, everything was self-regulated by the Xue clan.

As for now, even though the Xue clan still remained as the ruler in Yin city, it was, however, political matters and governmental affairs were governed by the Chen clan, which belonged to the Wei Tribe, and for economic affairs were governed by the Shang clan, who were also from the Shang Tribe, just like the Xue clan.

The current Xue Clan did indeed still look very powerful, as their clan was the one who took care of the defense and security matters in Yin city.

In other words, the Xue clan was in control of all the troops present.

Or in other words, the Xue clan had more troops than the troops that the other two clans had.

For the troops owned by the other two clans, it was also outside the personal guards of the nuclear family, the troops they had were only 250 people who were in charge of guarding the residence of the two nobles.

The Chen clan itself had the responsibility of determining the increase in the strength of the Yin city army and also gave advice to the ruler of Yin city in taking every action for the advancement of that city.

The Shang clan has a responsibility to fund it.

Thus, the three clans were interdependent with each other and had to work together for the betterment of Yin City.

But because of the hereditary tradition to become a ruler it is determined by the strength and ability of the martial arts of a person, so that the two clans also silently - quietly began to race - the race was also to produce martial arts geniuses in their clans.

Because as usual the younger generations of the two clans did not focus too much on practicing martial arts, so until now there was no martial arts young genius better than the young genius of the Xue clan produced by the two clans.

This is because the younger generations of both clans each only focus themselves on learning to explore political science and government as well as trade and economics.

Unlike the Chen clan, the Shang clan itself was not very ambitious to become the ruler of Yin city, as the Xue clan was also from the same tribe as the Shang clan.

Right now, from the Chen clan generation, they had possessed a genius despite only being second rank, yet it was extremely encouraging for them.

And he was the deputy commander of Chen Bian's army, who was the second person after Xue Yuan.

If there was no Xue Yuan, it could already be confirmed that Chen Bian would be the strongest candidate of the next city lord.

So it is worth to be considered and watched out for by the other two clans.

Because automatically, if Chen Bian becomes the ruler of Yin city, the Chen clan will hold two functions at once, namely defense and security even if not directly, as well as politics and government.

The Xue Clan was currently led by the strongest man, Xue Beng, replacing the previous patriarch who had already been killed in the battle against the bar-bar tribe in the north of Yin city.

Xue Beng himself had a son who was two years older than Xue Yunlei named Xue Zhao.

Xue Zhao's nature was very arrogant and always acted arbitrarily towards people she didn't like.

It was because Xue Zhao was a young genius in the clan which meant a young genius in Yin city.

Xue Yunlei was also often bullied by Xue Zhao if the two met.

Not only Xue Zhao, but when Xue Yunlei met with her fellow clan members, she was also always bullied and always referred to as trash in that family or clan, because Xue Yunlei had been unable to cultivate since childhood.

Even when he was a child, he was always taught by his father - the basic skills of bare-handed martial arts and also swordsmanship, but Xue Yunlei himself was nothing compared to the abilities possessed by the younger generation of the Xue clan who were his age.

It was because Xue Yunlei was unable to cultivate.

However, it could not help him to become one of the geniuses in the clan.

Because he could not compete with other young generations who already had a level of cultivation.

Xue Yunlei's body was indeed ready to cultivate, as she continued to perform the bone and muscle building techniques taught by her father since she was a child.

That is what he always does when he has nothing to do.

Xue Yuan himself had already brought Xue Yunlei several times to deal with the matter of him not being able to cultivate it to the few healers he knew.

But every examination and treatment carried out by the healers, did not produce results.

And because in their world back then it would be very embarrassing as well as unsafe for someone who did not have a high cultivation.

So that made Xue Yuan keep trying so that his only son could cultivate.

For the strong will always oppress the weak.

But even Xue Yuan's efforts were now no longer able to continue, having been killed on the way back to Yin City.

In the Xue clan alone no one wanted to befriend him.

Be it his closest cousin or even his distant cousin.

Xue Yunlei was now 9 years old, and given her age, she was actually able to become an official disciple within her clan.

However it was no longer necessary to think about it, as he did not have the qualifications to register to become an official disciple of the Xue clan.

Official disciples are also divided into three groups or three levels, namely Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples and Main Disciples.

The main disciples were genius disciples who already had cultivation as a swordsman in the Expert Realm.

The inner disciple was a disciple who had already reached cultivation in the eighth and ninth level of the Basic Realm.

Whereas the outer disciples were disciples who had cultivation in the fifth level of the Basic Realm.

However they were still referred to as junior disciples within the clan, so there were still senior disciples, ordinary elders, high-level elders as well as patriarchs who were above their level.

Usually, most children who are in every clan, since childhood have been taught the basics of martial arts, and if they are 5 years old, they have begun to practice several movements and techniques from one or two moves owned by their parents.

So when they were 9 years old, they were ready to take the exam in order to become official disciples within their clan.

In the territory of Yin city, of the three great clans that run the wheel of government in that city, have an academy to educate the three younger generations of the three clans.

In the academy it also has three classes that teach three different science majors.

The three sciences were martial arts led by the Xue clan, political science and government led by the Chen clan and trade and economics led by the Shang clan.

Each of these majors is led by each clan that has advantages in each department.

The young generation of the three pillars of Yin city, always competing with each other to be the greatest in the three sciences.

And every younger generation of the three clans would go through the basic education of that academy.

Everyone will get knowledge from the three majors.

So that after completing basic education, the younger generation will be transferred to a major that suits their respective expertise.

Xue Yunlei himself had above average abilities.

However, his ability in only two majors was not the main skill of the Xue clan.

So that he was given the choice by the head of the academy to choose what majors he should take in addition to the martial arts major.

Xue Yunlei finally chose the department of political science and government in accordance with his father's advice.

The noble Shang Shu himself is a genius within the Shang clan and has a daughter named Shang Mingmei.

The girl was very genius and had a beautiful face, other than Xue Yunlei, she was the one who became one of the disciples ordered by the head of the academy to choose what majors she would choose.

But the girl will choose one of the three majors.

So the girl was the only one in history, the highest-scoring student in three different majors at the academy.

Although departing from a family that has the ability in the field of trade and economics, Shang Mingmei still chose a martial arts major.

The girl was in the martial arts academy located in the Xue clan, so she filled the disciples of the Xue clan.

While the number of disciples from the other two clans only amounted to dozens of people.

While Xue Yunlei himself was in the academy of political science and government located in the Chen clan which was also filled by the disciples of the Chen clan.

And Xue Yunlei himself was the first disciple from the Xue clan, so he was always ostracized and always bullied by the other disciples.

Even though Xue Yunlei did not have cultivation yet, but because since childhood he had been training to improve the quality of his muscles and bones, so Xue Yunlei could still deal with opponents who had cultivation in the third level of the Basic Realm.
