044: Thio San's Strange Attitude

A short while later, Hao Yan and Hao Jie and Vice Commander Dao Fan returned to the venue. Dao Fan was wide-eyed to find that the Balaikota building had been flattened to the ground.

Everyone stared in disbelief at what they saw. Dozens of corpses lay among the rubble of the buildings within a hundred meters radius of Chen An's fight earlier.

“Ah Too bad .. How can I tell the Palace quickly.”

Dao Fan looked sad, because the dove he wanted to send, must have perished in the ruins of the building.

“Mr Swordsman .. Are the criminals all dead?” Hao Yan asked to ensure the safety of himself as well as his family.

“Master Hao .. It seems like those who are still alive have left. But the city is very weak in terms of security. Because there are no more warriors guarding this city.”

Vice Commander Dao Fan agreed with Chen An's words. He asked Chen An and the other warriors to remain in the city of Zhaodong until he returned from the imperial capital.

Chen An agreed to this, considering the thirty people from the Silver Sword Sect, now did not know where to stay.

“About that, I can help them, Young Swordsman. But will these warriors help us first? Maintaining Security is the first step to fix this city.”

Chen An was silent for a moment.”Aunt Ying ... What about Mr. Hao's offer? I think this will be a good partnership, right?”

Shi Ying was silent for a moment, He could see the ambition and intent of Hao Yan. “This noble Hao wants to lead the city and make us his security guard. I don't think there's any other option we can take.”

Shi Ying thought so, as he realized, they needed a place to stay. However He wanted a new place for the members of the Silver Sword Sect, not within the city.

When He spoke to Hao Yan, the Noble agreed. He gave the land an area of one li which was one kilometer east of Zhaodong City.

Kruccuk.

The voice of Cui Lan's stomach that had been very hungry, sounded quite loud, making the atmosphere of silence break out in laughter. “Ah Forgive Me Sister Lan ..I forgot our purpose of entering this city is to find a store.”

Chen An was about to leave, carrying Cui Lan whose face had turned red due to the sound of her stomach earlier.

“Wait for the young Swordsman, all stores today seem to close all. Let me entertain you all at my residence.”

Without waiting for a response, Hao Yan told Hao Jie to immediately return home and ordered the servants to prepare the dishes.

For three days Chen An was in the city, waiting for the East Gate to collapse, finished being rebuilt. Likewise, the City Hall is being built on the orders of Nobles Hao.

Meanwhile, Vice Commander Dao Fan had already gone three days ago to the Imperial Capital, to report the tragic events that befell Zhaodong City.

Maybe tomorrow or two more days he returns with hundreds of new soldiers to guard the city of Zhaodong.

One night, Chen An was seen standing on the roof of a tall building, staring at the millions of stars in the black sky.

The young man's mind was filled with thoughts about what he had been going through over the past few days.

The news of Master Fei Long's death that went three years ago to look for his first disciple, was the thing that made him very sad at this moment.

The figure who had raised him since the tragedy that made him lose his father and mother, was reportedly killed at the hands of the Chairman of the Two Groups of Steel Masks.

Chen An put aside his dozens of questions with regards to the Upper World and the World of the Nine Continents, which he only learned about after his body was possessed by the Red Star Sword Inhabiting Spirit.

“Chen Cen .. Is there anything that bothers your mind?”The voice of the Second Master, suddenly sounded right behind Chen An.

Chen An nodded with a deep sigh, before finally revealing what he was thinking earlier. Thio San smiled faintly then said something that made Chen An surprised.

“If I don't mistakenly suspect, the Chairman of One group of assassins is my Seperguruan Brother named Tan Hu.”

“How can teacher guess like that?” Chen An asked excitedly.

“That's because of the Demon Blood Pill used by those warriors, only Tan Hu's sister can make it.” Thio San replied with eyes looking up at the night sky.

He explained that his sister was a very ambitious person towards the treasure and the Throne of Power.

He wanted to become the ruler of this Underworld by recruiting as many members as possible from the various sects and groups in the Wei and Jian empires as well as the other two empires.

The group or sect that refused to join him, would he exterminate as experienced by the Nirvana Sword Sect and the Silver Sword Sect.

Thio San ended his explanation, He stared doubtfully at the student, as if in a dilemma.

“Chen Cen .. There are things that teachers want to tell you.” Thio San swallowed his saliva. For a moment Chen An was shrouded in curiosity. “Will Master soon return to the Upper World?”

The headband of the Master, made Chen An frown. “Ah I don't have the courage to tell you, next time I will explain.”

Thio San floated away leaving Chen An who was astonished by the unusual attitude of the Master. “What does the Teacher want to say? Why is he acting so strange?”

“An Gege! … An Gege! Where are you?!”

As Chen An thought about Thio San's seemingly uncharacteristic demeanor, Cui Lan's voice sounded calling out to him from below.

Chen An jumped down and found Cui Lan was with Hao Jie who was always accompanying the girl, every time out of the noble residence Hao.

Hao Jie's look of jealousy when Chen An arrived at that place.”Young Master Hao.” Chen An gave a greeting to Hao Jie who immediately replied to him in a hurry.

“Sister Lan, what are you looking for me?” Cui Lan ignored Chen An's question, saying to Hao Jie that she wanted to talk alone with Chen An.

With a listless face, Hao Jie left the two young men behind. Chen An realized what the noble son of Hao was feeling. Jealousy.

“It seems, Young Master Hao likes you sister Lan.” Said Chen An while aligning steps with Cui Lan who chuckled softly at his words.

“Is that? But I already like other people. Unfortunately that guy was too hard for me to reach.” There was sadness in Cui Lan's voice.

“Who's the lucky guy? Why do you say that?” Chen An asked curiously.

Cui Lan replied, Danger bells echoed throughout the deserted city of Zhaodong at night.

Tensions engulfed the hearts of thousands of residents of the city, after which the bell rang and was heard all over Zhaodong City.
