The Immortal Fire

Chapter 26: Heise Bureau

Liu Ying began to feel the air becoming hot and the heat radiating to the head, neck and the worst was the heart.

The leader of the red-clothed person was confused when he saw Liu Ying's reaction, he reopened the attack by taking advantage of the situation.

That person revived the formation, then attacked the part of the neck that was Liu Ying's artery feathering.

Without diminishing his agility, Liu Ying grasped the person's arm and slammed his body onto the ground.

Hot, that person was shocked as he touched the skin of Liu Ying whose temperature was extremely hot. Even his hot ranking, Liu Ying could be likened to the temperature of the plated iron.

But after knocking down the opponent, Liu Ying was weakly seated and felt his entire body throbbing pain. Liu Ying curled up holding his chest in pain, his body covered in endless sweat.

People in white clothes were about to approach Liu Ying, trying to help him. However, they were no better than Liu Ying.

The person's eyes narrowed at Liu Ying's drastically changed state, he could tell with a single glance that Liu Ying was an undercover person. But he still wondered in his heart about the mysterious person before him.

The person flicked his hand gesturing backwards to his group, then they immediately left the place despite not getting the thing they wanted.

Finally one of the group of people dressed in white dared to approach Liu Ying.

"Sir, you are so grateful for your help, we will try to return your favor."

Liu Ying shook his head, still with a frowning forehead enduring the pain, "No need ..."

Feeling that Liu Ying was too hesitant, they decided to paw over and help Liu Ying stand up. However Liu Ying immediately brushed it off, hinting them to just leave.

Liu Ying tried to stand on his own, pecking at a single point on his chest to hold back the heat energy from spreading too far.

"Tu-sir, are you okay?" say one of them doubted.

Liu Ying nodded as he neutralized the condition of his face, "Say, what kind of thing do you guys have that the group has staked out?

The man seemed hesitant to share their secrets. Liu Ying was able to realize that, then as if acting calm.

"Don't worry, I'm not at all interested in picking up that worthless little thing, I'm just curious. Besides I'm not tied to any sect or group, you can hold my word."

The people looked at each other demanding opinions from each other, finally their leader nodded resignedly. After all Liu Ying had already saved their lives, a slight leak would not give any trouble.

"That's it, can't be covered anymore."

The man cleared his throat several times for starters, "Actually we are the envoys from the Heise Bureau, you were assigned to pick up confidential information by one of the nobles of Jiangnan city."

Liu Ying listened very carefully, "Then, what information is that? Why so secret?"

"This information, contains about the investigation of the secret operation of the search for the Decree of God da-"

"And the Heavenly Weapon?" continued Liu Ying then commented a smile.

The man nodded in confirming. Actually Liu Ying still felt a throbbing and hot aura in his body, but he held it in order to satisfy the curiosity that had been lingering.

Liu Ying bowed and sighed tiredly, "Tell me, is this related to the mysterious swordsman named Huo Yang?"

The man nodded again, but this time with a look that implied surprise, "Sir, is it possible that you ask something that you know more than we do?"

Liu Ying had no intention of replying and instead asked, "Tell me, what is the content of that little thing?"

For a moment they became silent, Liu Ying might have misquired.

Liu Ying was deep in thought for a while, all the things he had obtained recently were simply fantastic. Liu Ying should know more than this.

"Alright," retorted, Liu Ying relaxed.

"Oh, Yes. Where did you guys come from?"

The group of people showed their identification.

"We're from the Heise Bureau. We owe it to you sir. If you'd like, we can help you find information you need other than this."

The leader of the group gave his identification to Liu Ying, "If you need help, you can go to the headquarters of the Heise Bureau. We'll always be ready to help you at any time."

Liu Ying weighed the Jade identifier by the size of a thumb, with the overall color white and printed a single black word right above it.

"Heise? Attractively. A group of people dressed in pure white, were from Heise. It seems, I need to get acquainted with this designer of your clothes."

Those people were just stalling smiles at the opinion that Liu Ying was making. It's true, it sounds a little strange.

"Night is too late. Then, we'll resign."

The group of people linked both hands and bowed respectfully, Liu Ying also did the same.

Liu Ying's thoughts looked at the departure of those people. Liu Ying chuckled in light of a term he often heard in literature lessons.

'The beginning of looking at the face, the end of looking at the back'

Every meeting must have met farewell. People will cross each other for the rest of their lives, leaving only the mind and revenge that is always remembered.

Long immersed in dialogue with himself, Liu Ying then realized that he was injured when the moment-lost heat returned.

Damnit damnit! Didn't I press it?

The heat now seemed to burn, Liu Ying began to feel his throat becoming dry.

With a stagger he tried to return to the restaurant, where he stayed for several days. Yet someone in the dimness of the moonlight stopped Liu Ying's footsteps.

A heavy and hoarse voice like a clogged pipe greeted Liu Ying's hearing, "Dumb girl, do I want to help you?"

Liu Ying narrowed his eyes trying to detect the face of the person standing next to him, keeping watch for something to happen.

Instead of being obvious, Liu Ying's gaze blurred. Everything he saw was no longer clear and became blurry.

The heat that he had been enduring was now like he wanted to rush out of his body, but the energy was like being confined and had no way out.

Liu Ying felt his body stagger backwards, yet it seemed to be captured by someone. Liu Ying wanted to rebel, but his body seemed to have no power.

Vaguely, Liu Ying heard an old man who seemed to be no longer young. Then everything went dark, Liu Ying felt his body being lifted up.

Slowly his consciousness moved away, into the black hole that was now pulling him. Liu Ying fell unconscious.

The old man raised Liu Ying's body like a sack of rice, then they vanished into the darkness of the night.
