Golden Dragon Swordsman S2
Captured

The atmosphere still seemed vague even though yellowish light was already tingeing across the eastern sky, a sign that the sun would soon appear. By then Arya had flashed rapidly towards the west. At one place he stopped his run. Then his head turned to the left.

It was a not so big valley. On the left right of the valley is a deep gaping chasm. While the valley itself is overgrown with shrubs drying up and ranks of large, brownish-leaved trees due to autumn.

“Mana said there is a ghost palace gate in this mountain.” grumbled Arya slowly. He also continued his longer run uphill and through steep cliffs and steep rocks.

A few moments later, Arya arrived at the top of Qiantang mountain. Reportedly at the top of this mountain once stood a kingdom of a giant named Qiantang, so this mountain was then known by the name of Mount Qiantang.

But by the time Arya had just set foot on this mountain, it was something unnatural. During the trip, he always felt he was being stalked. But now he was shocked when he saw the human skeleton.

Arya's heart became unpleasant. He became very careful because of it. But he also became interested in knowing the circumstances around the place. He became even more interested when he saw not far from the place there were several kinds of drinking utensils and stones arranged as a place of worship. And on it was a human skeleton.

As an Alchemist, Arya certainly recognized some things about the human body. That is why he can surmise that the skeletons are female skeletons that do not appear to be signs of persecution. Quickly he guessed, that some time ago there had been a strange ceremony on this hill. But he did not know what the ceremony was like and what its purpose was.

To find out, he hopes to get information from the people around this mountain. But suddenly Arya said to no one, who,

“I know you're watching me. I wouldn't bother you if you didn't bother me. Sorry if my arrival has disturbed your peace.”

Suddenly there were echoes of voices from all over who spoke the words of the young man, “Quick leave this place if you do not want to mampus!”

Arya smiled wryly, although offended but she was not angry because she did not want to add to the problem. Moreover, between himself and the inhabitants of this mountain there is no interval of dispute. Even if he had obtained evidence that the inhabitants of this mountain had troubled or harmed humans, then he had a reason to act.

Without saying anything, Arya then immediately went down the mountain and quickly went towards the residential area in the west.

When he arrived at the settlement, it felt how foreign the residents received his arrival. Children who were playing in the yard with his excitement, immediately ran into the house. It was felt that several pairs of eyes peered out from the cracks of the walls of each house left right through it.

“What is weird about me?” he thought while touching some of his yellow front hair. “Maybe because of this hair, they are afraid of me.”

Every time people see it, the person immediately avoids and quickly enters the house, even before he can ask or read the person's mind.

Several times he walked back and forth in case he met someone he could ask or someone who greeted him. But for the umpteenth time no one met him, and no one greeted him. Finally he decided to knock on one of the many doors of the house that was closed.

Suddenly he felt something unnatural. From behind the surrounding stone fence, he heard a sigh that was holding back. Not only from one or two people, but it is certain that behind the fences there are many people hiding.

Arya did not understand their intention of peering over the fence. He pretended not to know about it. But when he was about to set foot on the doorstep of a courtyard house, several men jumped from behind the surrounding stone fences. They all carry weapons. Big banter, long and short spear, sword, dagger and so on.

Arya frowned in surprise as well astonishment, but quickly her brain worked. He immediately came to the conclusion that it seemed like something had happened in this area. He also suspected that the men had no evil intentions. They are just watchful and alert. As a foreigner in a dangerous area it is appropriate if he is suspected. That's why he decided not to do anything.

The person who became the leader of the entourage was of medium stature. His body was not that big, but his powerful muscles decorated his entire body. Between the fingers of his right hand was tucked a trident, a three-eyed spear. Beside him stood a tall, large-moustached man. His gaze was sharp glittering. He was not armed with anything but a large whip whose tip was more than two meters long, and on the whip was tied several pieces of iron, stone and bones. Apparently he was one of the biggest figures of the guards in the village. From the side a few other bodyguards immediately flashed to surround him.

“Cute us!”

Suddenly a command came out of the mouth of the great tall man.

Although the voice contained Qi which made the ground shake, but Arya was not affected by the sound at all.

Arya still stood still, and then decided not to do something that could cause a commotion, obeying the order obediently.

The big tall man walked in front together with the leader of the entourage. Behind him Arya followed, accompanied by the bodyguards.

The group walked down the village road leading to a house larger than the other houses, lined with stones rather high and wide.

They entered the courtyard by passing through a gate escorted by people on their left-right, while in the courtyard they also waited for several men who were also armed. Among them stood a man who was rather old. The leader of the group and the big tall man went straight to the old man. Arya was still following behind him.

“Tuan..,” report the leader of the troupe,

“This person we have to suspect. Next up is discretion, sir.”

The old man who turned out to be the village chief from the area, nodded his head. Several age lines had been scratched on his face, but he still looked fresh and strong. His face is bright and clean. His teeth were still intact, white sparkling between his lips that smiled amiably.

Arya who had read their minds seemed calm. He had gained a bright spot between the state of this village with what he found at the top of Qiantang mountain.

The old village chief looked at Arya from the tip of her foot to the end of her hair. His advanced age, helped him to know a little about the characters of people he had just met. And against Arya, he did not suspect any ill intentions.

“Can I ask?” said the old village chief in a heavy but polite tone and house. “Who is your name young man? And where are you from? Because according to our observations, you are not a person from our area.”

At first, Arya was hesitant. Should he tell the truth, or better hide it. By this hesitation, until a while Arya did not answer, so when he was just about to say, a tall man sounded the big one yelled, “Come say!”

Arya was actually not at all happy to be treated in such a way, but she did not want to fuss. So he answered the question politely too, “Master of the village, if you want to know, I am from the Lightning Valley Sect. I was one of the members of that sect, which due to something of duty I arrived at this village.”

Some people seemed surprised to hear Arya's reply. The Lightning Valley Sect was one of the great sects of the white stream that was already supposed to have the honor. While this young man, the one who claimed to be a member of the sect became the catch. Had this been heard by the other members of the Lightning Valley Sect, it would not have made them angry.

Arya felt the influence of those words over the people who surrounded her. Likewise, the face of the big tall man seemed to change. His forehead frowned and his eyebrows were pulled up high.

The old village chief once again nodded his head, but then he asked again in a still so polite tone before. “Seeing your attitude, it is appropriate that you are a white swordsman, or at least like a person who looks well. But your coming alone here is a question for us.”

Once again the faces around Arya changed. They ask questions in their hearts.

“Yes, why would a sect member go so far alone?” But no one asked that question.

“This man wants to fool us sir,” said the big tall man with his glittering eyes. Once again he looked around, at the people standing guarding Arya. And once again those people nodded little without any confidence.

The attitude of the big tall man was increasingly unpleasant to Arya, but he still held himself back and answered kindly as well.

“Master of the village, in fact I have a lot of information about myself, but it is better if the information I give specifically to the master, not in front of the crowd. Because there are things that do not need to be known in general.”

Arya did not expect that his words would have a bad effect. That tall big fellow, who was actually named Yu Buqun, and served as the head of the security guard of Huangpu village felt very offended. He felt humbled by the young stranger, by excluding him from the conversation. Therefore he snapped with his loud voice, and,

“What is the need for the village chief to serve a man like you! Just say it now!”

The treatment of that person has actually gone too far. But Arya still tried to hold back, and answered well. “What you need to know I told you.”

“That's not enough,” replied Yu Buqun getting angry. “What do you want to say to the village chief, so you want to talk to him?”

Arya looked at the old man. His clear face became somewhat gloomy. Actually he can accept Arya's request, but he can't hurt his subordinates who are the backbone of his village's security. Indeed, the old village chief himself often felt displeased by Yu Buqun's attitude. But this person was too influential because of his prowess. It had even occurred to him to one day teach a little lesson to Yu Buqun, because despite his advanced age but he still felt able to do so. But this will have no good effect on the people who actually now need protection from the dangers that at any time can threaten.

Suddenly he had a good thought. Looking at Aryan body, attitude and gestures, the old man who had a lot of experience immediately knew that the young man was not someone who deserved to be humbled. He smiled in his heart because of that thought.

“Then how should Yu Buqun?” ask the old village chief.

Yu Buqun's attitude grew more fierce. He felt that the village chief had handed everything to him. “This young man should speak the truth and be as clear as possible.” said.

“If she doesn't want to?” lure the village head.

“Forced!” yu Buqun replied firmly, toilet and clearly.

And this answer was indeed expected by the old village chief. “Good...it is up to you. Others as witnesses for what happened,” he said.

Things turned tense. No one understood the meaning of the chief. Actually, these people did not want such events at all, because in their view, Arya was a polite and kind person.

If Yu Buqun had acted, it usually could not be controlled anymore. And the person he examines will get hurt. But no one dared to stand in the way of his terrible qualities. Especially if that person was really a member of the Lightning Valley Sect, then what would happen to this village if the members of the sect became angry with the people of this village.

In stark contrast to Yu Buqun's mind, he became as joyful as children who got toys. Although it also has a brain, but it can not work properly. His war was hard and furious. Especially after some time ago, at the time of the uproar, and he was unable to cope. So now he wants to restore the confidence of the people for his greatness by spilling all his grudges on the foreign youth.

But for that he will not immediately intervene on his own. He wants to see where the power of his toys is. Because of how blunt the brain of Yu Buqun, but he still sees a possibility that exists in the prospective victim.

Arya complained in her heart. Quickly he was able to grasp the intentions of the wise old village chief by capturing his eyes. “Dangerous games” thought.
