The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 139 - Equivalent Price
To get to the gate of the sect they had to climb stairs made of wood that blend with the land of the hills, a view that was still beautiful to welcome when they arrived there. A cool breeze greeted, but one of the priests guarding the entrance had absolutely no intention of welcoming.
"Foreigners are not allowed to enter without an invitation from the sect." Not seeing at all he already knew they wanted to enter. Friction sounds rang out because of Ye Long who kept moving his tail above the ground. Ever since seeing so many humans somehow Xin Chen felt that the dragon had become so enthusiastic.
Perhaps the dragon considers humans as its neighbors.
"I just want to see Senior Li to ask you something, not for an hour."
"Foreigners are not allowed to enter except by invitation."
"It's so annoying, just let me go in and see Senior Li alone seems so hard."
The young man cast a spell protecting their entrance, directly rejecting Xin Chen as he approached her. The debate did not last long because from a distance a woman appeared with a sword on her waist. Her robe decorated by the pink petal emblem adds a graceful impression to her.
Powerful, beautiful and strong. Most likely she was a representative of a sect seeing that there were 5 disciples coming with her and all those disciples were young girls.
"The Great Teacher of the Flower sect, Su Zhen, thank you for accepting our invitation." Those people are welcome to enter with respect.
Xin Chen snorted bitterly, were it not for being forced he would not have undressed in order to come inside.
He was stunned when he realized someone was staring at him, one of the disciples from the sect. The girl immediately lowered her face, afraid that her Master Teacher was catching herself looking the other way.
Finished letting the guest from the Flower sect in, the entrance guard was shocked to death. "It looks like I've seen you come here..."
He jumped up, "Young Master Xin second?! W-I'm sorry, I really don't know if Young Master came to visit today!" The young man said it as if there was no tomorrow if he did not apologize immediately. Xin Chen was lazy to argue things like this anyway, "so now I can go in is it not?"
"Of course you can!"
The young man took off the spell guarding the entrance, telling the other Lotus Temple disciples to deliver them inside. The disciple who delivered them said Li Yong was not in the sect. Maybe he'll be back tomorrow morning. For a while they are welcome to wait in a separate house devoted to receiving guests.
Seeing the crowd of disciples around the Lotus Temple making Xin Chen's forehead wrinkle, what was with this place. Usually not as crowded now. Without having to ask the disciple next to him instantly understood and explained.
"Recently Senior Li invited disciples from other sects to train and study at our place. You could say this includes the first step of our sect opening up. And as you can see, not even just sects from our empire, some sects from other empires are coming here."
This time Xin Chen's forehead not only wrinkled anymore, it even tripled.
"Receive disciples from other empires?"
"really so. I heard the Flower sect is very famous for its medicinal sciences and healing techniques. It's not just the name of the sect, Young Master. Even when they pass you, you'll smell the falling petals.."
According to him, the young man was exaggerating, they were escorted to the front of the inn which was located a little far away. Despite this the surrounding scenery is much more beautiful, ornamental plants and also herbal plants decorate the yard.
"Well, I can finally sleep in a comfortable place..." He said while stretching the muscles of the body, had not yet entered the house someone greeted him from behind.
"Good afternoon Second Young Master Xin, it's good to see you pay a visit to our little temple." The man who was about to enter his 30s smiled gently.
"Senior Huang Kun?"
"Let's know you're big, Chen. Hah, you're like your father, come whenever you like without first notifying."
"Is it a form of praise or satire?"
Xin Chen shook his head slowly, of course he was very familiar with his father's relatives. Huang Kun had also taken the time to pay a visit to the White Mist Valley hence Xin Chen knew this person well.
"Please enter, consider it your own home," Xin Chen said later, this time Huang Kun shook his head.
Upon arriving inside, the first thing Huang Kun encountered was Ye Long climbing the dining tables, the Lightning Fox who had just closed the room door while peeking and a messy house. Not a minute before his student brought them here.
Huang Kun was unable to speak anymore, he turned his attention. "Khem! So what brought you here?"
"About the Water Smile that Senior Li once taught me. May I know the origin of that rhythm?"
"Can, but... Before that I want to ask you about the two cloaked creatures you brought here. As a guest of honor, of course I have no objection, but isn't this demon you're carrying dangerous?"
Xin Chen scratched his temple, he did not feel good about himself to the man. "I'm sorry that ugly lizard. During the day like this he does a lot of behavior. I'll tie him to a tree if you act."
Ye Long snorted cynically.
"Hahaha your pet is so weird. Everywhere people keep wolves, lions or birds for companions." Huang Kun somewhat thought for a moment, "I heard that you have left your house for a long time. You don't intend to return?"
"Something bad happened?"
"Yes, recently the first Young Master Xin was almost kidnapped by someone wearing a robe. Fortunately that day two Imperial Pillars were visiting your house. So the moment Xin Zhan asked for help they immediately came. With the great disciples from the White Mist Valley of course."
As usual the security in his residence was assured, yet there was unease in Xin Chen's heart. Both of his hands clenched hard. "Chen, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
But in his heart his feelings are fucked. Two possibilities led to the perpetrator, between the person from the Four Surveillance Units who might be about to reclaim the Steel Phoenix in his hand or the envoy from the Valley of the Gods. All of that raged in his mind.
"And I heard from one of the sect's higher-ups, he was wearing a crow-shaped mask. No one's seen his real face."
The new fact made him a little surprised, "Mask with a crow's beak?" During the trip, none of the perpetrators were suitable from the traits mentioned by Huang Kun. Whether it is his new enemy or not. Xin Chen was made out of sense.
"For a child of your age you're old enough to interfere in matters like this. Don't think too much about it, let your father handle it."
"Do you think they have any other intentions? Catching my brother feels like a far-fetched thing..." Xin Chen had instead shifted the subject.
Huang Kun shrugged his shoulders, "I've tried to think about what their plans are. If just wanting to harm Young Master Xin Zhan to kill the Devil Sword generation was quite reasonable."
"I was thinking about something else."
Huang Kun pulled next to his brows. "You mean?"
"Price on par with my brother's head. What do you think?"
Huang Kun spoke thousands of languages.
"Both swords are only in my father's hands. That's what they're after."
