The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 247 - Emissary of the Emperor
"Oi, oi! Rubber belly lizard! Don't you eat all the meat in this town-!"
Ye Long snorted and continued walking quickly to the table where the other meat slashing was, the dragon's footsteps left the world like it was hit by a huge earthquake. The little children were crying and the parents were blaspheming Xin Chen with scathing words. The crowd split apart as the figure of a strange creature covered in a huge robe passed by arbitrarily. His tail was bulldozing people's wagon and it all caused trouble for the master.
"Take your lizard somewhere else, hey! Shit, he stole my vegetables! Busuuuuk lizard!"
"Argghh why is my place in lizard football too?! Hoi, indemnity! City monitor!"
"Catch him! Catch it, don't let it go!"
"Ye Long fucking ..." Xin Chen was unceasingly chanting in his heart. If he hadn't worn the hood of a robe he might have been ashamed forever.
It didn't take long, Ye Long managed to electrify the urban market. He suddenly came out while Xin Chen was providing food supplies before they went back on their way. And as it was now, Ye Long beat all the food into his stomach. It even nearly ate a human child that he thought was an animal.
"Ye Long! Have you eaten a meat cart today, stopped eating or want to hear the Deathly Rhythm from me?"
Ye Long had briefly stopped chewing as they managed to pull over in a quieter place. Even so, his face did not feel guilty.
"Mouth was created to eat, not to blaspheme people behind-!"
Xin Chen did not want to hear what the Black Dragon said anymore, he pulled the dragon's ears up high. Since being able to speak it turned out that Ye Long was much more chatty than the Lightning Fox and Lang. And that behavior of hers, was no different from Xin Chen himself. Stubborn and always troublemaking every second.
Ye Long stopped chewing on the cauliflower when he heard the sound of the foot creaking from the end of the road, he jumped up and disappeared just like that. Hiding in the body of his master.
"Oh, hey. You were the one with the big lizard, huh?"
"Sorry to mess up your place."
One of the three men who asked her to speak laughed, she shook her hand in a friendly manner. "Nothing, don't think too much. Have a nice day."
Then the three men continued their conversation as they walked, Xin Chen tailed from behind silently, not intending to eavesdrop just that the direction of the path just so happened to be the same as the three people.
"Already moved? Are you sure the news is true?"
Asked the other one, he was thinner than the three of his friends. While the other two are shoulder-stretched, it is less certain what they know is right what is wrong.
"I heard from the boss. Maybe it could be true, if it was, then the Empire was indeed quite crazy. Taking the risk of teasing the herd of wolves, they even more noisy. After all, they should know more about anyone who sided with the group. Not just the adults, even some sects began to look for ways to build a relationship with them."
"You know a lot, but honestly I also disagree less with Emperor Qin." He slightly lowered his intonation of speech, afraid that someone else would hear his voice. "If they actually sided with us and Emperor Qin instead suppressed them, we could lose. They have one unlimited warrior, like the border soldiers say. That one man alone can subvert a thousand men in a day."
One of them had noticed the presence behind them and immediately looked away, not finding anyone there. But the air around makes his nape like goosebumps without cause.
"We need to hurry back! Come on!"
Xin Chen again revealed his form, eager to hear their chatter again. But it seems that what they were talking about earlier had something to do with the group of the new Four Surveillance Units.
"Don't tell me they've taken the first step? Lan Zhuxian couldn't possibly not tell me."
He ran over, called Ye Long and flew quickly with the dragon. Towards a place surrounded by a high valley, with the speed of Ye Long's wings that were three times faster they could travel shorter distances. Ye Long growled occasionally as the lightning above them started raging. They passed through the cursed village that was always visited by the storm.
At that moment Xin Chen gazed towards the high waterfall of the place where he found the Thunder Fox. He accidentally saw a figure who entered the forest area.
"Ye Long, down!"
"Quick-forward"
Ye Long immediately stopped flapping his wings and just fell free down. Xin Chen braced the handle for a split second before hitting the trees, Ye Long flicked back the wings.
Xin Chen descended and directly chased after the direction the last time he saw the suspicious figure. He watched the area quickly by using spirit power. At first glance he could feel something was fleeing towards the west, less than a second the figure had already dashed beyond his reach.
Xin Chen did not have time to catch up. The figure was too fast, he clenched his hands tightly. It was possible that the figure knew how to return the Lightning Fox. Someone took the jewel and Xin Chen really had no clue who was carrying the precious object.
Unwittingly Ye Long returned, the tight flickering of his wings made the leaves of the tree fly fiercely. He landed next to Xin Chen with his mouth hiding something.
"What's that?"
Ye Long took it out, just an ordinary gold necklace decorated with beautiful pearls. Xin Chen sneered.
"Look at the situation, we're not on a treasure hunt."
"I found this when I fell off his body."
"His body?"
"That man?"
"Who?"
"I'm not the mother, how do I know who she is."
Xin Chen looked at him with a gloomy look. Ye Long growled faintly. "Human, her hair tied up weird. Wear strange clothes. More than that all weird."
Xin Chen barely understood what Ye Long was describing, he stored the item first. It might be better to ask her later while at the headquarters since her mind was currently fixed on the safety of the Four Surveillance Units in the Valley of the Gods.
"What if Emperor Qin fought them?"
"Who?"
"My friends."
"human friends? Rarrggh! Definitely exciting!"
"Whatever. We have to hurry or something bad might be happening to them."
The flaps of the wings split the air sharply, Ye Long focused on accelerating the journey to its highest limit. The dragon felt free after being cooped up seven years in a bleak city. The cool air and natural beauty that he had missed for years was finally re-perceived.
Ye Long descended upon seeing the huge gate, in that place the Valley of the Gods was tightly locked and protected by a thick iron wall that could not be penetrated easily.
Xin Chen had just descended before someone spoke in front of him.
"Are you the Young Master they mean? Sorry to interrupt your time, earlier. But I have waited three days before this gate, no one allowed us to enter even though we came in peace."
The figure was short-sighted.
"Include my name to Xin Zhan, Emperor Qin's direct envoy to visit the leader of the Four Surveillance Units."
