The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 21 - Steel Phoenix
The occupant of the Blood Ghost Mask actually came out when his name was mentioned, he yawned for a while seemingly indifferent to what the two of them were discussing.
"Ehm... Look, I want to ask you something." Xin Chen said, thrusting artifacts in the form of paper made from the animal's skin. "Can you read the message inside? It doesn't seem to be written using human language."
"I'll tell you if you have a reason, how do you know it's not human language?" The spirit reversed the question, making the little boy in front of him seem to be thinking hard. Only this time did he actually use his brain to think seriously. The rest he used to do was just harass people and catch beetles in the forest.
"I won't tell you so easily, just so you know. If you don't have the answer, I'd better go back to sleep."
Second one to the next third second Xin Chen still had no reason, he wanted to ask the Lightning Fox because the demon said so earlier. But obviously the fox won't tell. He wanted Xin Chen to look for him himself.
The Lightning Fox patted him on the shoulder, "In a war situation you will be faced with a situation like this. You must have one conclusion to tell the people who fight with you. Since their lives depend on your hands completely, a wrong decision will only plunge their lives into hell."
Xin Chen squeezed the paper, to the point that his eyes were tightly closed. Truly searching for the answer, he realized his brain was indeed not as smart as Xin Zhan, but at least with this simple question he should be able to answer.
"Consider all that with all the things you see, hear, read, and feel."
For some reason since becoming Teacher Xin Chen, the Lightning Fox felt herself nagging more often. In the Fog Forest he used to feel very quiet or never even spoke for a long time. Xin Chen's presence was like adding a color to her.
"Two seconds, I'll be back." The spirit evaporates wide of course by closing using his lentic finger.
"Ah, if you can't answer. Think of tomorrow when your mind is clear."
"Does man have such a catchy writing? Each letter is very parallel, although it looks like human writing but..." Xin Chen traced the sheet, lifting it up.
"Even if this is made with at least the ink will seep into the paper, but it's like it's happening right away."
The Lightning Fox revealed a slight smile. "I'm surprised, are you stupid or smart?"
Xin Chen lowered the paper, feeling that something was wrong with him. "Is my answer wrong?" He looked at the spirit of the woman, avenged with a headband.
"Your answer is rather appropriate, for a truer reason like this." The spirit unleashed its black power, making the writings on the paper move and float in the air. Form a word for word that if concluded has an important meaning, even though it does not say clearly and is filled with puzzles
Xin Chen himself could not guess the meaning in the writing, the one he caught was a phoenix emblem on it. That's all it is.
"This secret message can only be read by our fellow man, it seems that my friend has become too desperate. We should meet him at the Green Lake,"
"No, I still have to find the antidote to the poison in Zhan Gege's body. For what reason should I go there anyway? I know the Green Lake is on the border between the Shang Empire and the Wei Empire."
Xin Chen clearly rejected the proposal outright, other than that he had to timely get the antidote, traveling many miles away for no apparent reason would just be a waste of his time.
"You really don't want it? Steel Phoenix was there, he said there was a statue that would show us where we were hiding. With that hint, you can possess the Steel Phoenix before it falls into the hands of the wrong person."
Xin Chen started to hesitate, he quieted down for a moment. The vague shadow as Xu Ming was killed flashed across his head. "Teacher... Is that the same thing that the two robed men were carrying?"
"It seems that the heirloom scramble has split the Steel Phoenix apart, you should take this part before them."
Xin Chen propped up his chin, analyzing everything that was happening. For that time his brain was completely used, he connected all the clues and arrived at a single guess.
"They killed the information-seller's Uncle was definitely for this Steel Phoenix. Maybe this was only their second plan, because the two robed men were not too serious about doing their job. Evidently, they immediately left before they finished copying all the information to the other steel."
"When they realized the artifact that was their main clue failed to obtain, you can guess what they'll do next?"
Xin Chen raised his head, his attention shifting at the end of the road there. Surely now the group of horsemen came to the city they stopped in.
Not thinking of anything else yet Xin Chen immediately moved to the back side of the roof, making it hard to find when viewed from below. The messengers of the pagoda moved towards the Mayor's residence.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Xin Chen said as the party passed by the house where they were hiding. Suddenly one of them looked back just as Xin Chen was standing.
Xin Chen went back into hiding, at about the same time the horseman looked at him standing up earlier. Feeling the presence of someone before there.
This carelessness made the Lightning Fox regret having praised his cleverness earlier, obviously the child was still often stupid compared to smart.
"Ck, I have the same feeling. This mayor is the key to knowing the location of our enemy. For that we have to be on our guard so he doesn't get killed tonight."
Xin Chen nodded his head in understanding, he and the Lightning Fox left the place and moved quickly to where the Mayor mentioned Mei Lian earlier.
Not long after they arrived at a large building nuanced luxury, clearly it was the residence of the Mayor. Although the atmosphere outside is fairly calm, but that calmness is precisely what is deadly.
From outside the gate alone Xin Chen could faintly smell the blood fishy, slowly he was able to recognize the smell of blood easily. Maybe due to his recent fight that was heavily related to blood. Make his instincts also follow what he experienced.
"Over time you will get used to murder, stand in front of me, you must dare to fight even without me."
