Zheyan was silent for a moment, he tried to recall what he had found earlier.
If Zhishu was still alive, then the scent he smelled was unmistakable, Zhishu had time to go to the place where Zheyan had come before finally going to the forest in the Northern region.
" Mother, will others have the same scent as us? " ask Zheyan.
" What do you mean it, the scent of the gods? " ask Qian Ling.
" Yes "
" The scent of gods is only owned by the gods and descendants, even ordinary humans and demons will not be able to make such a scent" Qian Ling explained.
" In that case, it seems like I know where Zhishu is. ", Zheyan said as she moved on.
" You want to go again? " ask Qian Ling.
" Yes.. "
" It's late, you can leave tomorrow" Qian Ling said.
" I'll go now so I can get to tomorrow morning.. Mother take it easy. "reply Zheyan.
Zheyan gave his greetings before finally waltzing away from his mother's presence.
Meanwhile, Zheyan, his second son, came to see him. The look on his face was always sad with the taste he always held in his chest.
" Zhexuan's? " call Qian Ling.
^^^(Zhu Zhexuan)^
" Mother.. Not sleeping? "
" Is there anything you want to say? " ask Qian Ling.
" Is Mother still looking for Zhishu? Did Mother tell him to look for Zhishu? Why does Mom always rely on Zheyan? Mother can ask our bodyguards or spies to look for her whereabouts.. Why bother relying on a son? " ask Zhexuan.
" Zhu Zhexuan's.. If there's nothing you want to say, you can come out " Qian Ling said, switching the conversation.
" why? You're always looking for both of them, your doors are always wide open for both of them, whereas mine.. I had to kneel down for seven consecutive days just to see you.. Although in the end, no matter how hard I make it, as often as I beg, you never want to meet me as if I were a disgusting creature.. Am I not your son too? Why are you so unfair? " ask Zhexuan again.
Hearing all those questions made Qian Ling unable to bear it, but on the other hand she also became aware of how cruel she was.
Qian Ling tried to calm down without explaining further.
" Zhu Zhexuan's.. You are the only son of the Sword God, whereas the two of them only have me one, without needing me to explain, you should understand, I cannot snatch all your respect for your father. You are my second son, I love you as well as your brother." Qian Ling said.
Zhexuan was not satisfied with the answer, he left with a sense of disappointment and jealousy that he could not explain more clearly.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Zhishu who was preparing to rest actually got a secret message from the black crow.
Zhishu grabbed his robe before finally breezing back away.
Zhishu arrived at a small deserted street. There a spy came and gave him information.
" A-ling's? " call Zhishu.
" Master Shi." said Diwei Ling before finally bowing in salute.
" What news did you get? " ask Zhishu straight to the point.
" Look, based on the rumors, Mount Shu will hold a white magic college next week. All the sons of the five great clans took part in the college" Diwei Ling said.
" Magic school? Can magic be mastered only by certain groups? " said Zhishu wondering.
As they were focused on conversing, a familiar voice sounded and cut through their conversation.
" What is that sound? " ask Diwei Ling.
" Jiangshi. "reply Zhishu.
" Jiangshi????? "
" We'll go see! " said Zhishu.
Diwei Ling replied with a nod, then went to follow Zhishu from behind. The voice grew clearer as they went to Song's residence.
Unexpectedly, one of the Jiangshi attacked Song's residence. Zhishu and Diwei Ling who were standing on the roof saw some people sprawled with bite marks on his body.
" They're dead? " ask Diwei Ling.
" But tomorrow will come to life again" Zhishu replied casually as he observed the movement.
" Living again?? So they're not dead??? " ask Diwei Ling again.
" Rather they will become undead with poison in their bodies, whoever is bitten will become the same creature" Zhishu explained.
" Whose is this all? " ask Diwei Ling.
" Don't ask me what I'm asking. "reply Zhishu.
" b-well.. "
While being focused on observing, someone looked at the two of them, yet Zhishu and Diwei Ling simply kept silent and returned his gaze.
He was Nie Fengyue, as he was about to go to the roof, Zhishu first threw his flagship weapon and thwarted Fengyue's intentions before finally leaving with Diwei Ling.
Zhishu told Diwei Ling to continue searching for information, while he returned to the inn to rest for a while.
Upon arriving at the inn, Zhishu saw a mask with a black cherry blossom engraving on his bed. He did not know who sent it however, Zhishu was quite relieved to make it.
Without lingering, Zhishu went to bed to replenish his strength.
The next day, Zhishu woke up because the atmosphere outside sounded so rowdy.
As Zhishu opened the door of his room, he found Xuemei sitting at his door hugging his little knee.
" Xuemey? " call Zhishu.
As soon as Xuemei turned her head and found Zhishu standing in front of her, she immediately hugged Zhishu tightly.
" Master.
" What's up?? Where is Si Yin? " ask Zhishu.
Xuemei simply shook her head with teary eyes. Zhishu still did not know what the people were fussing about outside, but before he could figure out, another matter came to him.
" Sister??? " rumbling.
Quickly, Zhishu gave Xuemei a black silk mask.
" Xuemei, listen to me carefully.. Take this and meet Uncle who spoke to me yesterday at the same tavern.. Do you remember that big teahouse? " ask Zhishu.
" yes. "
" good.. Meet him and give him this thing, and then he'll take you until I come and get you.. Youunderstand? It's an order, don't fail and end up kidnapped! " zhishu firmly.
" Understood Master.. "
" Go." said Zhishu.
Xuemei greeted Zhishu before leaving.
Zhishu went back into his room and put on his robe and mask.
When he tried to seal his room, Zheyan had already broken down the door. There was no other way but to attack him using Hei Ying's sword.
However, regardless of what happened, Zhishu's focus disappeared until he was almost slashed by Zheyan's silver sword.
Zhishu continued to be cornered before finally being thrown out and damaging the window of his room.
Zhishu fell hard enough to spit out blood, but he was still able to stand up before Zheyan caught up with him.
' He's already regained his powers, huh? It was even much stronger than Zhexuan.' Zhishu's inner mumble.
" Master Shi? "
" Night Killer! "
" Yes! Aye!! There's Killer!! "
Soon Zhishu left before Zheyan finally came out and chased after him. The thing Zhishu avoided the most was to go in the direction where the Song residence was.
Although King Xiali was there, he could not help Zhishu in this urgent situation.
Zhishu went south, but instead he met Luo Zhiyu who was chasing after him.
" Zhiyu asshole! Always get involved! " grunts Zhishu before finally throwing a poisonous shuriken at him.
Of the Three Shuriken, Zhiyu could only avoid one of them. It didn't take long for him to be paralyzed.
However, before that, Zhiyu still forced himself to attack Zhishu, which of course made everything interesting for Zhishu.
He could still serve Zhiyu before Zheyan came. All of Zhiyu's attacks could have been avoided by Zhishu, while Zhishu's attacks still left him flustered to the point of getting some scratches.
As Zhiyu was cornered, Zhishu got more and more excited to finish it, but of course things like this would not be easy to settle.
" Well! " zhishu said with great emphasis.
Just as Zhishu was about to draw his sword into Zhiyu's chest, a sword denied him and made Zhishu's hand throw his sword up.
At the same time, as Zhishu threw his sword, he also used the earth vortex while spreading poison before finally disappearing from before Zheyan and Zhiyu.
In an instant, Zhishu was already on the roof, recapturing his sword.
" Good welcome, congratulations also to Zhu Zheyan who has regained her strength." Zhishu said casually.
Not yet Zhishu had time to make a move, someone appeared out of nowhere and placed a sword in front of his neck.
Shortly after, a voice whispered to him.
" Do you think this is all over? "
Zhishu understood the voice, he also stopped tensing and returned to showing his casual demeanor.
" Long time no see, Luo Beiyang.. Looks like the healer managed to heal you, huh? Is it still not covered? " ask Zhishu.
" Just say your last words, Master Shi. "reply Luo Beiyang.
" hey? Don't be big-headed, today is not the day of my death.. Don't forget, my attack didn't just come from me, watch your open gap "reply Zhishu.
For a moment, Luo Beiyang fell silent with wide eyes. An arrow pierced his back, Zhishu made use of the situation by twisting Luo Beiyang's wrist until he dropped his sword.
After which, Zhishu released his hand and made Luo Beiyang fall unconscious. Far from his sight, Zhishu looked at Diwei Ling, with the possibility that he was the archer Luo Beiyang.
After Zhishu returned his gaze, Diwei Ling immediately left her place.
Zhishu turned around, to give a warning.
" Hear! I've decided not to get involved anymore, but in the way you dragged me forcibly into the fight, then I won't stay silent! " sternly Zhishu before finally leaving.
Some people helped take down the severely injured Luo Beiyang, while some others helped Zheyan and Zhiyu.
After a while, Song Qing Lian, Song Qinsong and Nie Fengyue came using horses.
They were shocked to find the atmosphere of the city in disarray, as well as the severe injuries inflicted by Luo Beiyang, Luo Zhiyu and Zhu Zheyan.
Soon Song Qing Lian brought the three to Song's residence to get treatment.
While Qinsong and Fengyue find out what really happened until the three important people became like that.
After getting a bright spot, they immediately went to the starting place where Master Shi and Zhu Zheyan appeared.
The fight between the successor of the sword god with the figure of Master Shi was a rare thing, even just happening today, it was clear that it made a scene for the townspeople.
Even more surprising, Master Shi remained calm in the sunlight, those who were touted as Night Killers could even be very brave to come out in the light of day like this.
They reached the inn and found damage in one of the rooms on the second floor, but the innkeeper did not respond to it excessively, he remained relaxed as if nothing had happened.
" Song Qinsong's.. Don't you think the innkeeper is so weird? " ask Fengyue.
" What's so weird? " ask Qinsong.
" He didn't look like he had just been hit by a disaster.. He acted as if it had never happened" Fengyue replied.
" Is that so? Isn't that nice? He should have breathed a sigh of relief because that dangerous fellow was not in his place anymore! You think too much! " reply Qinsong.
" Uh? But.. I wonder who really attacked? The innkeeper said that a man dressed in white came looking for his sister does that mean that Brother Zheyan came looking for Zhishu? Is it possible that Zhishu was kidnapped by Master Shi? " ask Fengyue.
" Kidnapped? But, before I met Zhu Zhishu while on my way home, even Big Brother Xiaoxun met him, a formidable figure like Zhu Zhishu how could he be kidnapped by Master Shi? " reply Qinsong.
" You met him? Big brother Xiaoxun too?? Whereabouts? Then what are you guys talking about? " question Fengyue was like a boy who was always curious in many ways.
" Nie Fengyue, you asked so eagerly.. Do you like Zhu Zhishu? " ask Qinsong.
