59 - The Wonder of the Story

After a few minutes of fainting, Zong Dian finally woke up. He immediately changed his lying position to a sitting position when he first opened his eyes.

"You are aware of it" Liu Chen said.

Hearing that voice, Zong Dian immediately sighed and told her what happened earlier when Liu Chen left. Because it was too serious to tell a story, even he was not aware of Han Liangyi at the side who was sitting and paying attention to him.

"So what should we do, Brother Chen?" zong Dian said ending the story.

Liu Chen chuckled, "The person you mean is beside you"

Zong Dian turned his head slowly towards the side. He was surprised to see the young man who had smothered his mouth earlier and made him faint beside him, "You.."

"Have the story finished? Don't say anything non-no about me"

"Why are you still here?"

"This is my friend's room and I'm sorry about that. I had to make you faint because it was also your own fault, playing acting recklessly" Han Liangyi said lazily.

"Why do you blame me? You're the one who came in and Brother Chen didn't tell you anything about you. So I will certainly act immediately. After all, you entered silently silent like a criminal" Zong Dian said grimly.

"Huh, I did that too because I had to, I thought the door to this room was still locked"

"Already, don't make a fuss" Liu Chen smiled.

In the evening, Zong Dian was already asleep in the bed of the inn. Han Liangyi was booked into another room by Liu Chen. So Han Liangyi was now in another room.

Liu Chen sat down near the bed. He put his head on the table with his hands under his chin. He closed his eyes because he felt tired today.

When Liu Chen opened his eyes, he was in a vast meadow with no trees at all. "Where is this?" muttered.

The wind blew making his clothes flutter. The wind was strong enough to make Liu Chen close his eyes using one hand.

As the strong wind stopped blowing, Liu Chen lowered his hand and opened his eyes. He was surprised by the presence of the young man who arrived in front of him. The young man was 3 meters away from her.

The young man smiled towards Liu Chen with his eyes closed. Her smile looks charming and sincere. Soon his eyes were open. But a smile still appeared on her charming face. His look looks soft.

"Who are you? Have we met?" said Liu Chen while tilting his head.

The young man in front of him looked to be around 20 years old. "Observe heart"

"What do you mean"

Liu Chen closed his eyes with one hand as a strong wind suddenly blew. Liu Chen opened his eyes again when he did not feel the strong wind.

Liu Chen looked left and right because he could not find the young man. "Where'd he go?" muttered.

Liu Chen woke up from his sleep. Liu Chen lifted his head from the table. He looked around like he was looking for something, someone. "What was that?"

Upon learning that he was still in the inn room, Liu Chen sighed. "It turns out it was just a dream. But who was that brother? Do I know him? It's like I've met him. But where? And when?", Liu Chen now asked about the young man he had seen earlier.

"What does it mean to be careful? Be careful of what?" muttered Liu Chen.

In a large room, there was a book on the table. The book looks pretty thick. There was no one in the room.

Suddenly the closed book opened by itself. The book also began to give off a bright light. Simultaneously, the grains of light grains formed not far from the book.

The light grains formed a human figure from bottom to top. A few moments later the man was emitting light from his body. But the light soon disappeared as well as the light in the book.

The book closed by itself and turned into a grain of light and disappeared just like that. There was only one young man in the room.

The young man appeared to show a surprised expression. In his hand was a pen with a name engraved.

The young man looked to his right and left. He looked quite confused and surprised at the same time. He saw the pen he was holding and there engraved his name.

Elsewhere, in the woods. There was a young man who smiled faintly when he felt something. It disappears into a grain of light in the darkness of the night.

He immediately appeared in a room. When people look at him right now, they know who he is. He was Zhang Jiangwu. He was the one who had suddenly disappeared from the depths of the forest just like that.

Zhang Jiangwu appeared at the place where the young man holding the pen appeared. He knelt down in front of the man.

The young man holding the pen was surprised to see the person before him.

"Congratulations for passing the test I gave you. Now you are my Master" said the person with a face that looked like Zhang Jiangwu's. He looked down respectfully.

Before long, Zhang Jiangwu stood up and looked at the young man in front of him.

The young man was surprised to see Zhang Jiangwu's face, "You?"

Zhang Jiangwu smiled and chuckled, "I'm sorry Master. As long as you complete the test, I disguise myself as you so that no one is worried about you"

The young man before Zhang Jiangwu had the same face as him. To be exact, that young man was the real Zhang Jiangwu. While the one who had all this time gone to the black stream sect was not the real Zhang Jiangwu.

A few weeks ago, after returning from the demon world, Zhang Jiangwu chose to open the book that Liu Chen had given him back then.

The moment Zhang Jiangwu opened the book, his body was instantly covered by the light as well as the book he had just opened. Then, Zhang Jiangwu disappeared from there. He appeared somewhere unknown to him. Then before long, he heard a voice telling him to go find a pen located somewhere. Zhang Jiangwu had to search for information himself to find it.

The place where he was at that time, just like in his life. But there demonic beasts quite often attack cities and villages. The demonic beast that was there was also not to be underestimated.

The voice that sounded in his head at that time said that he could return when he got the pen in question. If he can't get it, then he could die anytime there.

In essence, Zhang Jiangwu entered into a book that was a novel. He struggled to get the pen in question in order to get out of there immediately. He's been there a couple of times in trouble. Fortunately, he was able to handle it gradually.

All along, Zhang Jiangwu who was in the headquarters after returning home from the demon world and going to the territory of the black stream sect, was not the real Zhang Jiangwu. Fake though. Actually the fake Zhang Jiangwu was the spirit of a sky level weapon, the story magic pen.

This pen is used to write a story and users can include others in that story. The person who enters the story, then he must solve the problems contained in the story if he wants to get out. The person who enters the story can also die depending on what the person will do.

A story written using a story magic pen, can be a dangerous weapon if the story is made by someone who is very skilled.

Actually there have been many people who tried to get this pen, but all ended up dying in the test to get it. The test was to solve the problem within the story created by the spirit from the celestial weapon itself.

The main purpose of the story itself is indeed to pick up a pen. But Zhang Jiangwu also had to solve the problem of the problem that occurred there. It takes even weeks to complete.

The fake Zhang Jiangwu instantly changed to his original form. He was a young man who looked to be in his 25s with long silver-colored hair.

Zhang Jiangwu looked at him flatly. He just nodded.

The spirit instantly said everything he experienced while disguising himself as Zhang Jiangwu. He could act like Zhang Jiangwu and find out about the shadow mask group, as he looked at Zhang Jiangwu's memories. Because if someone has entered into the novel, then he can know the past of the person.

The spirit was quite a difficulty when it came to flat expression. Because that's not his nature. He also had a hard time because he had to imitate Zhang Jiangwu's style of speech which was only a few words away.

Zhang Jiangwu nodded when he heard the spirit speech in front of him.

"Then, I'll go back inside that pen"

Zhang Jiangwu nodded, "Mn.."

The spirit turned into a grain of light and entered into the pen held by Zhang Jiangwu. It appears that there is the name 'Zhang Jiangwu' from the pen. So no one could use the pen, except Zhang Jiangwu.

If Zhang Jiangwu died, then someone else could use the pen. It also had to take the test that was still the same given by the spirit of the celestial weapon.

During the day, Liu Chen and Zong Dian were walking around the capital. They were looking for Zong Xian this morning. But not find it either. Beside Liu Chen, Han Liangyi followed Liu Chen. He still did not know what Liu Chen was looking for.

Finally Han Liangyi started to voice, "What are you guys looking for? We've been touring the capital from morning till noon. We even visited a narrow alley"

"I'm looking for my friend and Dian'er's sister" Liu Chen said. He continued to look carefully at his right and left. But he did not find the person he was looking for.

Zong Dian also continued to pay attention to everyone within the crowd, hoping to find Zong Xian.

"What do you think an imperial fugitive would do if he were already a fugitive?" said Liu Chen. He looked at Han Liangyi.

The question from Liu Chen made Han Liangyi astonished, yet he immediately replied. "I think he'll go to another empire, go undercover, live in a secluded place or something. There was no way a fugitive would stay in the crowded place of the empire that was after him. But if he had a grudge against that empire, then he would gather strength to attack. What's wrong?"

Liu Chen thought for a moment, shaking his head, "Nothing"

Liu Chen looked towards Zong Dian. "We're out of the capital. There will be no brother here. You want to keep coming with me, right? To find your brother?"

Zong Dian looked at Liu Chen and nodded, "I'll go with big brother. But before that, we have to go to my house first. I want to bring my stuff"

Liu Chen nodded, "Alright"

The three of them went to Zong Dian's house while staying in the capital. The house looks small. But pretty clean. They went inside.

"We will wait here Dian'er" Liu Chen said.

"Yes Brother Chen", Zong Dian went straight into his room to prepare everything.

"So why are you asking me about fugitives? Actually who are you guys looking for?", Han Liangyi tilted his head in high curiosity.

Liu Chen sighed, he took out a rolled up paper from within his space ring and passed the paper to Han Liangyi.

"Hm?", Han Liangyi opened the paper and looked at the photo of a person with an inscription at the bottom of the photo.

Han Liangyi stared at Liu Chen, "What are you looking for? Do you want to get a special gift from the Emperor?"

Liu Chen shook his head, "He is my friend. So I wanted to find him and ask him for an explanation"

Han Liangyi nodded and handed the paper back to Liu Chen. Liu Chen accepted it and directly inserted the paper into the space ring.

"Eh??", Han Liangyi had just reacted at this time. He had just realized that what Liu Chen and Zong Dian were looking for was an imperial fugitive. "Are you serious? You wanna look for him? It's not clear that he's a fugitive. If you help him, then you will also get into trouble", Han Liangyi looked at Liu Chen intently.

Liu Chen nodded, "I will consider whether to help her or not, depending on the reason she killed the empress"

Han Liangyi nodded, "It's up to you. Provided do not be rash in making decisions" he said while shaking one hand.

After waiting, Zong Dian finally came out with the bag on his back. "Let's go, Brother Chen"

"Remove your bag, I'll keep it so you don't have to carry it like that" Liu Chen reached out his hand.

At first Zong Dian was a bit hesitant, but he still gave his bag to Liu Chen. Straight away, Liu Chen stuffed the bag into his spatial ring.

Zong Dian was surprised when he saw his bag suddenly disappeared, "Sister Chen, where is my bag? How'this? What's missing" he said in a panic.

Seeing that panicked look on his face made both Liu Chen and Han Liangyi laugh. "I've brought him. Take it easy" Liu Chen said. He also stopped laughing.

"But where?", Zong Dian glanced behind Liu Chen, but still did not find his bag.

Liu Chen smiled, "No need to think about it. Now we're off"

Zong Dian finally nodded. Although he was still curious about where his bag was at the moment, what he thought more about was Zong Xian.

They went out the imperial capital.

"What's the reason he did this? "

"He said revenge. I don't understand her words at all. But to be sure, I wanted to immediately catch him and torture him before I killed him. You better help me catch him quickly "

Liu Chen recalled when Yang Jia Li said that the reason Zong Xian killed the empress was because of revenge.

"What do you think an imperial fugitive would do if he were already a fugitive? "

"I think he'll go to another empire, go undercover, live in a secluded place or something. There was no way a fugitive would stay in the crowded place of the empire that was after him. But if he had a grudge against that empire, then he would gather strength to attack. What's wrong? "

Liu Chen also recalled Han Liangyi's words that answered his question earlier. "Then, it was likely that he was gathering strength. But where is he now? "

Liu Chen kept thinking. "Gathering power? He could do so by increasing his own strength. But I don't think so. It seemed like he was increasing his strength by multiplying the people who were on his side. Surely he would not take those weaklings who should be taught cultivation from the beginning first.

I think he's gonna take a pretty strong guy. He would also definitely look for that person who was close to the empire. Because there was no way Xian would go long first just to find people to make them on his side.

Meanwhile, if Xian takes people from our group, then it is impossible. Xian wouldn't just walk into the base after killing the empress. Because indirectly, he means hostile to Jia Li.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters there were quite a number of people that the woman had brought to the headquarters. It was impossible for Xian to return to the headquarters just to bring a few members. Because he could have been directly captured by people who were on Jia Li's side "inner Liu Chen. He kept thinking about all the possibilities.

Han Liangyi patted Liu Chen on the shoulder, "What's up, Chen?"

Liu Chen shook his head and smiled, "Just think a little"
