Chaos Systems
Chapters. 34 - Helping a Criminal

”You who never understand, it's best to be quiet. I attacked the ghosts of Xingyue because of the duty of Her Majesty.” replied Shang Ren who had secretly woken up from his sleep and surprised Xiong Yu and Chi Yu who did not know that he had been awake since.

Xiong Yu and Chi Yu were not expecting this, they were very surprised and immediately pulled out their swords which were then drawn towards Shang Ren who was still silent in his seat.

Supposing that Shang Ren was the person opposite Zhao Bingyan, made these two River ancestors become extremely wary and cautious of any possible attacks by him.

"This boy has helped you from the dead! Do you still want to kill him?!" Snapped Xiong Yu while drawing his sword towards Shang Ren.

Shang Ren grinned and gave a cold look towards the few people before him. Because a few days ago was the attack that the Yin Lang sect had made against the Hua Jian Sect, making their alert nature further increase towards anyone who was visiting their place.

Shang Ren was able to read the situation by looking one by one at the movements they made for him so that, he finally stood back up without holding any weapons in his hands. He knew it would get worse if he moved against the two River ancestors who were trying to protect Zhao Bingyan behind them.

"I know my whereabouts are completely denied here. So, I won't say much and won't take up arms for you. If so, I would've wasted my time for free." Shang Ren replied calmly with no look of fear when faced with the two River ancestors who had lived for hundreds of years.

"So, what do you want right now?” asked Chi Yu cautiously.

Shang Ren folded his hands before he replied, "Don't I already say? I was assigned to kill the ghosts by His Majesty and accidentally cast a teleportation spell that made it look like I came here."

Lately they often come the bodies of life that attacked several cities. Perhaps, this had something to do with the ghosts present in the Dao Xun Valley. The barrier spell that had been installed by hundreds of Cultivators, had suddenly been broken and made all the ghosts present in the Dao Xun valley spread everywhere. The current emperor, had a very slow performance in dealing with this. He was too busy thinking of his descendants who would pass on the throne of his kingdom.

"Thank you Master Shang Ren has told me. I will immediately order some disciples to hunt them down." Zhao Bingyan said after she understood the exact location of the matter.

Shang Ren stared blankly at Zhao Bingyan before finally, his gaze descending towards Mu Chen Xiao who was currently in his carriage. "Isn't he the kid who has interrupted your fight with the snake elder?"

Zhao Bingyan was stunned and her gaze immediately aimed at Mu Chen Xiao who was below her.

He bit his lips and looked towards Shang Ren with a serious expression before he said back, "Great teacher Shang Ren who has put Liu's fire seal on his forehead?"

Shang Ren who had turned his body back, immediately turned his head towards Zhao Bingyan as soon as the question was directed at him. "Why indeed?"

”Liu's fire seal can only be used by Xingyue Kings to make someone his army. However, this person could use perfectly without the slightest flaw. Actually, who is he? Or could it be that this person was Mu Chou Ran who disappeared six years ago?” inner Chi Yu who just found out.

In the end, Shang Ren directly turned his entire body towards Zhao Bingyan while still maintaining his cold gaze while asking, "Then what can I do for you?"

Zhao Bingyan resolutely replied straight away, "Remove Liu's fire seal from inside her body. Perhaps Xiao'er will take this in return for his good deeds to Master Shang Ren."

Shang Ren folded his hands back and gave him a horrifying look while replying, "If a soldier has bent his knees before his master then, no one can make him rise again. It seems you've made a wrong calculation. What is going through your mind right now? Why should I take off the seal?"

Zhao Bingyan was speechless and looked at him seriously. The expressions of Xiong Yu and Chi Yu also seemed to be in disbelief and they really wanted to kill Shang Ren right now as well.

With the atmosphere getting heated up, Mu Chen Xiao suddenly woke up and immediately pulled the collar of Zhao Bingyan's clothes in front of his face.

At the moment he was expressionless and as if he had heard what they had been arguing about. "The great teacher didn't need to ask him to remove this seal on my forehead. It is very useless if it continues to be done even though the Master is a leader. Although it was very slow, Xiao'er could handle it quickly."

Seeing her expression that was extremely sad for not being able to cultivate fully, made Zhao Bingyan instantly understand what she wanted at the moment.

He turned his body back and said, "Then I'd better take it. Master Teacher Shang Ren can leave here before the other students find you." He said as he walked away from the Rongye river.

Not long after Zhao Bingyan and Mu Chen Xiao left the Rongye river. Xiong Yu and Chi Yu who were still in a war position, glanced towards Shang Ren with cold gazes.

"Maybe we should not take out rare herbal plants to treat it if it will eventually be like this. The boy really didn't follow what his ancestor said to the point that he wasted his time just protecting criminals." Said Chi Yu who offended Shang Ren before him.

"Chi Yu's! Maybe we should just go back. Next time, don't involve me to go to the surface." Said Xiong Yu who then turned himself into a fish and returned to the river, followed by Chi Yu who was currently behind him.

After everything left, Shang Ren himself who was still standing at the same place, was busy thinking about something that might make it difficult for him to draw up his next plan.

"Mu Chen Xiao, even though I have opened the wide gate of Shan Bu valley for you but, you have decided to go together with an assassin. Is that true? If your mother does not drown you in the river and allow you to come with me, perhaps soon the throne of the kingdom will be yours. Let's see, someday, you'll see who'll be on your side when you're down."
