The Book of Gods

016: Box of Stone

“Mr Swordsman... Is it true that the figure you saw was wearing a black mask?” Luan Hu asked with a trembling voice.

“True Uncle .. Does Uncle recognize him?”

Luan Hu let out a long sigh, Governor Qiu Feng's Personal Guards looked at Commander Chao and Qiu Fang. The two nodded, allowing Luan Hu to explain.

“Mr Swordsman .. The masked person earlier, was most likely a member of the number one assassin group and was greatly feared in this Wei Empire. Steel Mask Killer Group.”

Chen An was not surprised to hear the explanation. From the look on their faces, he expected it. Suddenly a new Qiu Feng voice came out from the front door.

“Fang’er .. Why don't you bring in the Swordsman who saved us?” Chen An turned around and found that figure eight years ago had met him.

Qiu Feng stared intently at Chen An's face. “Are you Mr Fei Long's student as Fang’er said?” Ask Chen An who is greeting you.

“True Uncle .. Did Uncle forget me?” Qiu Feng laughed widely. “If your name is not wrong .. “

“Chen An .. Are you Chen An's Big Brother?” The new Qiu Ling voice came, cutting out Qiu Feng's sentence. Qiu Fang patted his eel, as he did not remember the name at all.

“It turns out you are Chen's sister ..” Qiu Fang smiled widely. “Let's just talk .. Let's go in first, we have provided a dish for you.”

Qiu Feng grabbed onto Chen An's shoulder like his own, walking into the large residence.

Chen An's heart was warm, his memory drifted to a time when he had been treated this way by his late Father and Mother.

“Awas belekan! Hehehehe..” Qiu Fang ran away, dodging Qiu Ling's punch that was caught by him, was staring at Chen An with a smile that continued to adorn his lips.

After eating a meal at the dinner in the middle of the night, they also talked about the events that had just happened.

From the conversation, Chen An could tell that the Steel Mask group, had a mysterious leader and was extremely high in ability.

Two years ago, the leader of the group of assassins was about to kill the Emperor. But successfully thwarted after fighting hundreds of moves with five personal guards of the Emperor.

Chen An was slightly stunned, upon learning that the five personal guards of the Emperor were at the Late Sky Swordsman stage.

A person capable of counterbalancing the attacks of five Late-stage Sky Warriors, was a dangerous enemy.

“There is news mentioning that the Chairman of the Steel Mask group, has reached the level of Heavenly Swordsman. He is able to make the ground move and form a fist limited to the elbow.”

The information from Luan Hu, made Chen An stop his intention to vertical wine in the cup in his hand that had been fully filled.

“Is that information Uncle?”

Luan Hu confirmed his words. It made Chen An wonder in his mind, about the copy of his Book of Gods.

“The technique used by that person, if not mistaken is the Boxing style of the Earth God. Could the Original Book of Gods be in his hands?”

Chen An asked so in his mind. That silent atmosphere, was broken by Qiu Feng's question.

“An’er ... Is there something stuck in your mind?” Chen An immediately regained his senses and remembered the information he had received from the leader of the Black Chain group.

“Uncle Feng …. Last time Uncle said, don't know why they're after uncle, right?” Qiu Feng nodded his head.

“I got a little information from the chairman of the Black Chain Group that they were eyeing the map owned by Uncle.”

Qiu Feng's forehead was wrinkled. “Map …? What map are they looking for? I only have the Wei Empire Map. Are they after that map?”

Now it was Chen An who was pensive after hearing Qiu Feng's reply.

“I don't think that map, Uncle. What they were looking for was another map, the Treasure Map of Karun.”

“Treasure Map??! No An’er .. I do not have such a map.” Qiu Feng said as he shook his head repeatedly. Everyone fell silent in confusion with the information Chen An had just conveyed.

“Since when did they start targeting uncle?” Chen An asked who was trying to investigate something. “If not wrong, it has been since a month ago.” Qiu Feng replied with a puzzled look.

Chen An sighed, then He asked if there was a letter received or a mysterious item that Qiu Feng had received since these past two months.

After recalling all the events that had occurred during the past two months, Qiu Feng then ordered Qiu Fang to take the bundle that belonged to his late sister.

Cousin Qiu Feng's younger brother Qiu Lang, two months ago came to his residence at midnight. He came with a body drenched in blood because it was badly injured.

Qiu Lang could not explain what had happened. Because his body was bleeding too much, he had to die after being unconscious for one day and one night.

“This bundle is his only relic. In addition to a robe, there was a strange box. The box is made of stone and we can't open it.”

Chen An's eyes turned twinkling. “Box of stone? Don't-don't ..” Chen An immediately stood up and asked for permission to open the bundle.

After taking out the dark blue-colored robe, Chen An found a black-colored stone box under the folds of the robe.

“Not wrong again..This is a Treasure Artifact. How could this thing be in the Underworld?” Based on Xiang Long's memories in his head, Chen An could recognize the black box that was as long as an adult's hand.

Qiu Feng, Qiu Fang, Luan Hu and the Chao commander, could only silently look at Chen An who was dian and was examining the stone. The minds of the four people, possessed by a huge curiosity.

“This Treasure Artifact is sealed so powerfully, that can do it only Cultivators on the Heavenly Realm Realm Level five and above.” In his mind, Chen An said so.

“Uncle Feng .. May I try to open this stone box.”

Qiu Feng nodded his head in response. In the look of his face looks great hope, hoping Chen An can open the box and uncover the mystery contained in it.

Everyone's eyes widened, as they saw Chen An making the stone box float in the air two meters high from the floor. The four people immediately moved away from him.

Chen An closed his eyes, to drain all of the qi energy within his body.

Five hundred qi crystals, slowly gathered on the two palms of Chen An who was now emitting an extremely dazzling white light.
