017: Steel Mask Group



Using the knowledge from Xiang Long's memories, Chen An desperately tried to unseal the seal that enveloped the black-colored stone box.


Half an hour had passed, finally a small explosion was heard from the stone box, before it fell down and opened on the floor. Chen An fell down, exhausted.


“A very strong seal, seems to have been installed hundreds of years, so the strength is only half. This strong is the person who is in the Heavenly Realm?”


If only the seal had not weakened, perhaps Chen An would not have had the chance to open it.


The faces of Qiu Feng and the other three people, looking tense upon seeing the white-colored cloth scroll, were within that black stone box.


Chen An immediately grabbed the cloth scroll and slowly opened it. Qiu Feng and the others approached to take a look.


Their foreheads were furrowed, staring at what was drawn on the cloth that had now been stretched. A map and only three words.


The word was first known by Luan Hu and Qiu Feng as the name of a city in the southern region of the Wei Empire. While the second word mentioned a very wide forest name, the Beast Forest.


“Hutan Beast?!! Have you ever heard the name of that forest, Hu?” Qiu Feng asked Luan Hu who replied by shaking his head.


The third word is “Cingin” which is the question of Qiu Feng and Luan Hu. “How many Ring is it to be a treasure?”


Chen An only smiled faintly hearing it. He knew the Ring in question was the Ring of Dimensional Space.


However Chen An decided not to explain what the Dimensional Space Ring was, as it would sound impossible to humans in the Underworld.


“So this is the map that made Uncle targeted by them. Does Uncle want to save it?” Chen An asked as he thrust out the cloth.


“No An’er .. Save that map for you. I don't want to risk the life of my whole family just because of a Ring.”


“Alright Uncle .. I'll save it. Thank you for entrusting this map to me.” Chen tried to hide the explosive excitement in his heart.


The space ring was an heirloom that could only be found in the Upper World. An heirloom that can store many inanimate objects in it.


Since the night had been too late, Qiu Feng asked Chen An to stay at his residence. There were still many things He wanted to talk about, but seeing Chen An exhausted, He decided to postpone tomorrow.


Qiu Feng called, the maid to deliver Chen An to his room. One of the three servants who had heard the conversation from a different room, smiled faintly before entering the room as it was summoned by Qiu Feng.


Upon arrival in the room for him, Chen An immediately laid down his body in a bed that he had not seen for a long time.


“It's safe once .. I want to sleep well tonight. May no enemies come again.” Chen An got up to clean himself up in a room that was next to him.


After finishing cleaning himself and changing his robe, Chen An sealed his room first. That way he can sleep well.

It was a dark morning, a place a hundred kilometers away from Shanzui city, in a hidden valley to the east of the city, where two people were having a serious conversation.


“I hope you bring important News Shadow of the Wind, because you have disturbed my sleep!”


With a voice that sounded frightened, the figure called Shadow of the Wind, immediately explained the news that He had obtained.


“What! The Black Chain Group? They want that map too? Shadow of the Wind ... Is all your information correct!?”


The black masked figure, called the Shadow of the Wind, immediately confirmed the truth of the information He had just conveyed.


The figure that Chairman Two called out was someone wearing a silver-colored mask. But the mask, can not hide if his age is still fairly young.


The figure of the Chairman who had not reached thirty years of age, heard a voice that showed himself surprised by the information from the Wind Shadow.


“Can float! … Don't-don't? … I have to tell Chairman One about this.” The figure of Chairman Two said in a voice as if he was talking to himself.


“Shadow Wind ... Call Vice Chairman One and Two to see me as soon as possible!” The Wind Shadow immediately nodded and shot out through the window at an extremely high speed.


His body seemed to disappear and reappear at a distance of fifty meters from the window of a building located in a not so wide valley.


The valley is called the Valley of Death. Because anyone who enters the valley will be found as a corpse.


Even a Basic Sky Swordsman, once found dead on a cliff, on the edge of the valley. From then on, the warriors made the place a forbidden place to visit.


It was in that hidden valley that the Steel Mask Group established their headquarters six years ago.


The founding figure of the Group was someone who was called as Chairman One as well as a young man who was his student and was appointed Chairman Two.


None of its members had ever seen the face of Chairman One or Chairman Two. The Members who joined the group, were warriors who had once been saved by Chairman One from death.


The Steel Mask Group had fewer than seventy members. The Swordsmen recruited, had the lowest abilities at the Peak Stage Swordsman Level.


Number of warriors at that level, not more than twenty people. They are called the King's Group.


While the twenty Earth Swordsmen of the Basic Stage up to the Peak stage, joined in a group called the Earth Group.


The other two groups were the Sky One Group and the Sky Two Group. Each group consisted of ten Swordsmen at the Elementary and Intermediate Sky Level levels.


On top of those two groups, there was the group of Five, they were the higher-ups of the Steel Mask group whose abilities were at the Peak-stage Sky Swordsman Level.


Two guys got a job looking for a murder mission or something. One person, the Black Shadow, is the person in charge of finding information about their target.


While the other two people who served as Vice Chairmen of One and Two, were drinking wine when the Wind Shadow arrived in their room.


“Ah You have returned Shadow of the Wind. Let's have a drink first and tell us what news you got.”


One of them said while pouring wine into a cup of three cups that have not been used.


“Thank you Vice Chairman One, I'm here to convey the orders of Chairman Two who asked you to face him at this time as well.”


Chairman One's forehead shriveled, narrowing his narrowed eyes, after hearing the words of his colleague. “It looks like there is something very urgent. Let's meet him.”


The three then left the room and met the figure of Chairman Two who had been waiting for them with ten people from the Sky Two Group.


The faces of the two Vice Chairmen changed as Chairman Two finished retelling the information the Wind Shadow had obtained to all of them.


“You two I've been assigned to lead the Sky Two Group and go to Mayor Shanzui's residence. Get that Map. That thing is very valuable to Chairman One. After that, kill the governor and his son. Kidnap his wife and daughter, then hide in an old building on the south side of the city.”


“Ready Chairman!”
