A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 203 – Old Friend
"That's how."
Sung Han nodded in understanding with the explanation the grandmother had just given. "Jeiji was already too brave. They underestimated Chang."
The nun's grandmother led the group of nuns sighed. "That's natural. A few centuries ago they even almost ruled this land."
"Then what about the general and Chang's army? Are they just holding hands?" sung Han asked after a long moment of silence. "I mean, is there really no movement from the imperial side?"
The grandmother shook her head. "We don't know much. Just to our knowledge, Jeiji intruders are hard to stop or prevent. They come here not in large groups. Except for a few small groups or individuals."
Sung Han was secretly astonished. Why didn't the princess take action? Was this any interference with the prince who always blocked Song Zhu's daughter?
"Is it something to do with the rebels?" Sung Han asked again.
The grandmother shook her head. "Everything's fucked. I don't know who will win in this mess" the granny replied that was actually more appropriate as a complaint. Not answers.
Sung Han's feelings are getting worse. He had just come out of his hermitage with the teacher, having to face such a chaotic mess.
He realized he couldn't relax. He who sided with the government could not openly help them because everyone considered himself a rebel. As for allying with the rebels, it was just the subtle language of a waste of life sentence.
When Sung Han was about to get up, he heard one voice. Just look at the one that came from behind one of the nuns. "You're so stubborn."
Sung Han looked over and smiled. "Yu Ping, I can't keep quiet in my hermitage."
Yu Ping peeked over his sister's shoulder. "Many days the jungle will be stirred."
Sung Han's eyes bought, this is very important news. He sat himself down again looking attentively. Waiting for Yu Ping to say again, yet the girl had already hidden behind her senior's back and was silent.
"Eclipse swords will be pitted," the grandmother continued. Where he got the plot from Yu Ping.
"Eclipse sword?" sung Han immediately remembered Kay Su Tek and Chang Song Ci.
The grandmother nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
"But why?"
"We're not martial people. That's all we know."
Sung Han pondered. This is not just a stir, but there could be a war between the two giant parties. However, the heretics are still divided into two groups. And recalling the last conversation with Kay Su Tek, where the young man was about to kill Chang Song Ci, it made him fret.
Unconsciously he breathed. The young man was no longer helped.
Suddenly, he remembered someone and quickly asked the grandmother. "Sorry, have you ever heard of the Eagle Queen?"
All heads lifted and looked at him. Even the grandmother frowned until the two eyebrows almost fused together. Obviously this raises all sorts of questions in Sung Han's head.
"What is your relationship with the queen, young man?" ask this grandma, as if feeling pity.
Sung Han looked at the full sight. "What's wrong with him?"
The grandmother sighed, shaking her head a few times. "He's a great swordsman, his football is incredible. His name has soared in recent years." He stopped for a moment. One thing that further aroused Sung Han's curiosity. "There are seldom heretics who are fine after hearing the name. If not run scared, of course piss in his pants or at least his body shivers great."
"Then...then what?" Sung Han urged.
The grandmother looked at this pity young man. "A few months ago, from what I heard, she was engaged in a fight with some black people," the granny sighed again. "You really want to know?"
"Say!" Sung Han grew increasingly worried and involuntarily snapped loudly.
"According to rumors, the Eagle Queen had been killed in that fight. Died as a hero. Killed as a defender of justification. Killed as an opponent of evil." This speech sounded a little doubtful.
Sung Han was petrified, his eyes blank for a moment and felt as if his heart was being pulled by something invisible. Maybe during one blink the heart stopped beating.
His mouth was shivering, his tongue was twisted and his throat was moving up and down. Mind empty.
"That killed him, black people right?" sung Han asked as if he had just woken up. Floating like just a murmur.
"That's all we know" the grandmother said. "But it's just a rumor. We don't have any proof."
"Thank you."
This young man tried to get up, instantly he staggered as he saw thousands of stars before his eyes. Yu Ping had already risen to help but Sung Han refused.
"I'm a bit of a bitch" he said briefly. Take one stick from the torch fire and walk away turning their back.
Yu Ping ran in pursuit. "Sister, don't tell me you–"
"Yes! I'm gonna go find the killer. Wait with your sisters. Soon the name of the Faceless Demon will be heard in your ears!"
Instantly Yu Ping stopped in his place. He almost fell to his knees if his hands did not quickly hold the tree trunk beside him. Not for what, but Sung Han's gaze and speech were like the tip of a sword piercing his chest. This isn't Sung Han he knows!
Let alone hearing the nickname, a nickname that has recently risen. Even all of the nuns exclaimed in shock.
"Sister...?"
"Never follow me!" Sung Han warned. "Life in peace with your sisters!"
After which, without saying another word, his body vanished in the darkness of the night. Only a bright yellow light was visible that was getting farther away until it became a small speck in the valley ahead.
Yu Ping heart was broken. She had just met her sister but had to separate again. Even he doubted whether in the future he could meet the young man again. Remembering this she cried.
"You're fine.sister. Come back, I'll wait for you.lifetime." he muttered in between sobs.
...****************...
On the slopes of a mountain, there appears a rickety hut that seems almost collapsed. Next to it was a horse stable that was no longer maintained. Nearby, there is a high cliff that seems a little impossible to climb.
From a distance, a person in black robes and wide cladding walked with one-on-one steps towards this building. His body was firm and his steps were regular.
A twilight wind struck the robe as well as the thin cloth on the tip of his caping, making himself as if a demon that gave off a pitch-black aura.
Upon arrival in front of the hut, this person knelt down. "Teacher, I'm home."
Sung Han, he is that figure. A young man who has perfected almost all his knowledge since becoming a disciple of Tok Ciauw in Golden Goa. The young man who had become a Faceless Demon!
He walked to the side of the hut where there was an empty land with a stone stuck on it. Xiao Shi Yong's Tomb.
Sung Han knelt down, then dug. Dig the ground next to the tomb.
His eyes reddened, the veins on his forehead bulging out. His movements during the digging were clear that he was very angry.
The news of the Eagle Queen's death had been heard a day ago, but her anger had not been able to be quenched.
Especially considering that the killer is a member of the black faction. He's getting more angry.
"Kay Su Tech....Kay Su Tek....What are you doing?! Bastard, what have you done to the woman who was once your future wife!!!" Sung Han roared. His voice echoed throughout the forest.
After digging deep enough, with a hunting breath out of anger he looked at the thing he had buried there a long time ago. An object that he really does not want to hold anymore. But it seems like the situation is forcing.
"Sun Eclipse, let's welcome the curse!"
This young man bowed and grabbed, observing the entire sword body closely. Pulling out his blade and a feeling of nostalgia came to his mind. Feelings like someone's met an old friend.
"This time there's no mercy anymore. The Faceless Demon will uproot your life, Kay Su Tek!"
