71 - Liu Chen Becomes Target II

The fake Liu Chen disappeared from where he was standing earlier. This, made Yelu wary. He looked around meticulously and had already confirmed that there was no Liu Chen nearby.

"Huf.. Where is chairman Xun now? Now I have to find him" murmured Yelu. He went straight from there without helping the man he saw. Anyway, this is an exercise. So the risk of getting hurt must be there.

At night, one of Liu Chen's ice clones observed Lao Tzu sitting in a garden in the courtyard. The place around is empty now. But surely there were still members from the assassin and information division who were still eyeing Liu Chen.

So most of them won't sleep today. Some of them were near the clone of Liu Chen who was watching Lao Tzu.

The fake Liu Chen dispelled the air of his existence. Lao Tzu did not know of his existence. However it was different again from the person who was watching Liu Chen at the moment. Although they have hidden their existence, Lao Tzu still knows of them. Because his cultivation strength was higher by about 2 stars than that person.

"Why are there so many presences that seem to be watching near me? What the hell are they doing? " inner Lao Tzu.

Other divisions will certainly not know what learning other divisions are doing. So Lao Tzu did not know at all about the training that the assassin division and information division were doing.

"Well, why are they still watching me. Even until a night like this "inner Liu Chen was fake with annoyance.

"Haha, what a pity for Chen. He seemed to be the target of Han Liangyi's 2 "inner division. He stood on the 2nd floor looking down. Exactly Han Liangyi's gaze was directed at one of the pillars, where the fake Liu Chen was.

"What are we gonna do? Look, the prince is being targeted like that" said Lin Tian using telepathy on Xi Wang.

"Yes, I saw it too. But we have been told by the prince that we do nothing" said Xi Wang, who also uses telepathy.

They had no idea that the Liu Chen they were paying attention to was just a clone. And Han Liangyi as well.

A woman seemed to pull her bow. But he hasn't fired an arrow. He narrowed his eyes towards the target, which was Liu Chen. "Now", an arrow was directly fired towards Liu Chen.

The arrow was not an ordinary arrow, but it was already fed by the element of lightning. Making the arrows faster.

The woman was surprised that her target was not where she was.

"You think with your arrow it can hit me?" the voice behind the woman.

The woman looked back. "Chairman"

"Aaaahhk"

Everyone watching Liu Chen was shocked that Liu Chen had disappeared. But even more surprising was the sound of the female screams they heard.

Liu Chen had already disappeared again from where he was. While the archer woman was seen trying to release the arrow that stuck in her leg.

Lao Tzu who heard the sound of shouting, directly came to where the sound came from. He was shocked to see a wounded member. He helped pull out the arrow that stuck on the woman's leg.

"Thank you" said the woman.

Lao Tzu left without saying a word. He intended to go to the room only because he became uncomfortable with the surrounding. "What happened to him? Why would you get hurt like that? ", Lao Tzu shook his head and no longer cared about what had just happened.

In one of the corridors located at the headquarters, Yelu was seen walking warily. It also seems to be thinking.

"Tadi Hua (Wu Xianlun) says chairman Xun is in the garden room. But at the same time, I saw Chairman Xun in the courtyard of the headquarters. There were two chiefs of Xun at the same time, while the place of emergence was different.

Is it possible that Chairman Xun used an ice clone? When chairman Xun uses an ice clone, it means that the possibility of chairman Xun who everyone always sees is just his clone.

Because, there's no way the real chairman Xun will come out. Chairman Xun can use his clone. So he doesn't have to go out. If the chief Xun we saw was just a clone, where was the original chairman Xun?

My division and the assassin division have the same target. So there must be a lot of scattered people watching over Chairman Xun. So when the original chairman Xun comes out, then we will be watching him again. The possibility of chairman Xun we saw was just a clone, the possibility of it getting bigger. Why would Chairman Xun come out if there was a clone of his?

Wouldn't if the original chairman Xun came out, everything he did would be for nothing? He would just throw away the Qi for making an ice clone. When the tip of his original self remains monitored again by us.

If what I think is true, then where is the real chairman Xun? The original Chairman Xun must have been hiding in a place we didn't know about and couldn't see from the surface! Surface?", Yelu smiled mysteriously.

"Ah~ correct, surface. So I see, Chairman Xun must be hiding underground. There's no way that Chairman Xun is getting out of the base. Because if he does that, he will be caught by two people guarding the exit.

The underground place made by Chairman Xun was definitely not in a crowded place with many members passing by. If he makes a basement in a member's room, then he will be caught by the member and it could be that the member told him to others.

Then, chairman Xun couldn't possibly make his way towards the basement in his room. Because Chairman Xun's room was even supervised by more people than anywhere else. Chairman Xun must have made his way to the underground in a place that not many people were currently passing through. Hm.. But where?"

Yelu continued to struggle with his thoughts. Finally Yelu decided to go around the headquarters alone and see which places are quite rarely passed by people and not many people enter.

Yelu looks very expert in concluding everything. He was even able to think of the possibility of what Liu Chen was doing. He was unlike the other members who were caught up in Liu Chen's attempts to trick the members.

The other members were mostly just thinking of looking for Liu Chen and doing the training like what their coach had said. They don't think about the possibilities. Their focus was only on the Liu Chen they saw and encountered. They did not think that the Liu Chen they had always seen was just a clone.

But that was only natural, because they had just trained. They still have to learn a lot.

After walking around for hours while thinking, Yelu finally came to a conclusion. "Now most people are asleep. So I can't figure out which places are crowded and quiet. But my thoughts crossed several recommendations where Chairman Xun was hiding.."

"..First, chairman Xun will hide in chairman Xinxin's room. Because it was the chairman's room, so surely not many people would dare to enter there. Although there is no Xinxin leader. Then the second possibility is the Haocun chairman's room. My reasons are still the same.

Third, chairman Guang's room and my reasons are still the same. Fourth, vice Qiang's room. Because he was the one closest to Chairman Xun. Although there are only 4 options, it is very difficult to determine!" yelu muttered.

"Ah, yes! How do they react when the room is used as a road to the underground? If the Xinxin chairman and Haocun chairman would not know. Because they're not here. Then if Vice Qiang, then maybe he will allow Chairman Xun to create a basement path in his room.

While chairman Guang's reaction, if chairman Xun makes the basement in his room then..? I don't know what reaction Chairman Guang will show"

Yelu let out a long sigh, "Now my choice is two. Chairman Guang's room or deputy Qiang's? Because there's no way Chairman Xun made his way underground in someone's room without permission. Let's think, think"

Meanwhile, at the place where Liu Chen was. The young man looked very bored as he continued underground. The underground was under his room. But the path to get there is not in his room. But someone else's room.

Because he was too bored, he just made another ice clone to accompany him here and invite him to chat.

There was now an ice clone in front of Liu Chen. Liu Chen finally made one more seat for the clone to sit on.

Without being asked by Liu Chen, the clone immediately sat on an empty seat. He straightened his chin with his right hand, "Huft.. What's up?"

Now, the clone is propping up the chin with both hands. "Why are you doing all this? Why are you training them to protect the world and protect everyone from evil?"

Liu Chen frowned, he felt strange because his clone said such a thing. "Why indeed? I just want to protect everyone. I want everyone to be happy"

Clone looked at Liu Chen lazily. He put his head to the table with his hands as a pillow. He looked at Liu Chen. "You think you can make everyone happy? It's not easy to do. It can be said that it's impossible, you can't make everyone happy"

"I know that. But I will try my best", Liu Chen smiled.

"Did you remember? Weakness of the demons and why were they angry when you were killed?"

Liu Chen nodded, "I know. They'll be pissed off if I get killed by someone"

"Don't they get angry and take revenge on people not because they sincerely respect you?"

Liu Chen stared at the frozen sky. There was a reflection of himself on the ice. "Yes, but I don't care about that. As long as the Emperor who is my father loves me. I don't care what about the sincerity of other demons to me. But obviously, they would never betray"

"Don't look at the old man. Did you forget what he did to us, huh?!", annoyed clone. He immediately brought his face closer to Liu Chen while pounding the table.

Liu Chen frowned confusedly, "What do you mean? Dad is a good demon. Then what do you mean not to look at her with a good view?"

Clone immediately sat back down quietly and looked at Liu Chen coldly, "It looks like the old man has already sealed your memories, so you can't remember. Even if you've reincarnated and united with someone's soul, the seal still follows you"

Liu Chen grew increasingly confused and strange with the behavior of the clone in front of him. All the clones he created did have their own thoughts, but his clone never acted like the clone he was before him at the moment. As if, this clone had a feeling of hatred. Though the clone he used to create did not have such a feeling.

The nature, behavior and others on the clone, it depends on the nature of the maker. So Liu Chen certainly felt strange with the clone in front of him. As he wished, he never hated anyone. Then what kind of thing does this clone hate in front of her?

"Remember? What memory do you mean? I think I've got all my memories" Liu Chen said.

In the village without a name.

Many imperial troops came there. They come when it is morning. Their arrival certainly made many people immediately surprised. What are the imperial soldiers doing here? That's what they think.

There, too, was Yang Jia Li with her friend, Chan Juan.

Seeing the beauty of the two women certainly makes many men there interested. But they did nothing because they were afraid that the troops that followed the two women killed them.

Yang Jia Li looked at his surroundings flatly. "You find that guy everywhere. Don't let anything miss you"

"Good princess", soon all the soldiers and some of the General's men entered the house of the citizens to check on something.

"What are you doing in my house? Who're you?"

"You're not polite, get into people's houses without permission!"

Some people became upset. Because the soldiers entered the house without permission at all and immediately searched their homes.

Yang Jia Li directly took out a paper. There, was an announcement paper with a photo of Zong Xian, "Who has ever seen this person? Tell me. You guys don't hide it!" yang Jia Li shouted using Qi to the sound of the entire population.

Many citizens were instantly closing in on Yang Jia Li. Some of them still did not know that Yang Jia Li was a Yang imperial princess. They looked towards the poster that Yang Jia Li was showing.

They shook their heads, "We don't know him"

"I don't know him at all"

"I've never met him"

Everyone shakes their heads. Meanwhile, Liu Hongli (Father Liu Chen) and Li Wei (Mother Liu Chen) appear speechless to see the picture in the poster. They recalled one person with a face similar to the one on the poster had been with their child and visited.

Seeing that there were two people who were just silent without answering, Yang Jia Li walked up to them along with Chan Juan. He immediately showed the poster to Liu Chen's parents.

"Have your uncles and aunts seen this guy? If you know where he is, please let us know. Because we are looking for him" said Yang Jia Li.

Now Liu Hongli and Li Wei increasingly clearly see the writing at the bottom of the picture.

"Why are you looking for him? Then who are you?" liu Hongli.

"Include me, I am the imperial princess Yang. My name is Yang Jia Li. We're looking for him because he killed the empress"

Liu Hongli and Li Wei were shocked to hear Yang Jia Li's words. How come? They were convinced, Zong Xian was a good boy. He couldn't kill anyone. Especially empress.

Some people who heard that Yang Jia Li was the princess, were immediately shocked. They did not expect the arrival of this unexpected guest.

Liu Hongli and Li Wei immediately shook their heads, "Sorry princess, we don't know who she is. We never even met him" Liu Hongli told a lie.

Yang Jia Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Hongli, "But why didn't you guys answer me at all?"

"Ah, that's because we did not clearly see the picture of the princess" Li Wei told a lie.

Yang Jia Li nodded, "Alright. And for all the people here, I'm sorry to bother you. I just want to check all your houses to make sure that the empress' killer isn't hiding here"

All the citizens are silent. At first some were angry because suddenly people entered without permission. But when they knew the identity of Yang Jia Li, they fell silent.

Actually back then, Yang Jia Li and the others had once found the headquarters of the scorpion bandits that existed near the empire. They did not catch the bandits at all. Because their goal was only to find Zong Xian. Yang Jia Li himself told her not to catch them. Because according to him, it would only be a waste of time to look for Zong Xian.

So they only searched the bandit's headquarters. Initially the bandits fought back, but with Yang Jia Li's strength, all the bandits could not fight back. Fortunately, at that time Zong Xian was going to escort the demon emperor to Liu Chen's place. Thus Yang Jia Li did not find Zong Xian at the bandit headquarters.

All the bandits did not say anything about their leader. Because you know what Yang Jia Li is looking for is their leader. It seemed like they were starting to be loyal to Zong Xian. Because thanks to that young man as well, they could grow stronger.

Yang Jia Li went to the village without a name, not without reason. A nameless village is a collection of people with unusual identities. The village was the escape of criminals from various continents as well as empires. But there are also ordinary people. Not only criminals there were even some people with amazing identities, such as Liu Hongli. But other than her, there were also people with unusual identities.

Because the village without a name is a place where people from various empires and even continents gather, then the village is called 'a village without a name'.
