LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episodes 16. Killer Aura
"He's awake uncle Wu." The little girl replied before Ling Yan.
"Lady princess? you mean you're Zhu Qing's princess?" Said Ling Yan asking in a surprised tone.
"I'm sorry for not telling you, oh yes you haven't answered my question before, what exactly are you doing in the dark forest, and why are you unconscious?" Zhu Qing again asked the same thing.
Ling Yan seemed to think for a moment before answering Zhu Qing's question, appearing Ling Yan's blank and straight-forward eyes.
"Hey, why are you daydreaming and looking at me like that, is there something wrong with my face." Zhu Qing's question managed to resuscitate Ling Yan from his daydream.
"Ah sorry princess, I'm not focused, actually I forgot what happened to me earlier, the last time I remember was I was walking around and accidentally got lost." Ling Yan replied lying and put on an expressionless face.
"Then how can your clothes be torn like that." Ask Zhu Qing again.
"Hmm I don't know princess either, I forgot what happened to me before." Ling Yan replied again with his flat face.
Zhu Qing who heard Ling Yan's reply only understood and did not discuss further, while General Wu who was riding his horse, seemed to notice the look on Ling Yan's face as if looking for the truth there, yet he was completely unable to read Ling Yan's flat facial expression.
"I must not say that I just came out of the dark forest, let alone about the sword..." Inner Ling Yan was restrained as he already did not find his fire blood sword.
"Wait where the sword is." Inner Ling Yan.
Ling Yan seemed to be looking for something and examining the surroundings, he saw that Shen Long's nat ring was still coiled on his ring finger, but not with the fire blood sword that was previously on his back.
Seeing Ling Yan looking for something, Zhu Qing then opened his voice.
"Are you looking for this red-gloved sword." Said the little girl while revealing the blood fire sword in her hand.
"Ah my sword." Said Ling Yan who instantly took the night blood sword from Zhu Qing's hand.
"Ugh sorry for my leniency princess, this is my master's gift and this sword means a lot to me, I think this sword is gone." Said Ling Yan.
"Seeing from your appearance, you are a young swordsman, am I right." Ask General Wu from outside the train.
Ling Yan only nodded softly without saying as he stroked his red sword, while General Wu was measuring the ability possessed by Ling Yan, but he found nothing.
General Wu himself possessed the strength of a 5-star soul swordsman, adrift far above Ling Yan's ability, but somehow he could not read how far the youngster's ability was in front of him.
"I can't read the level of his strength, as if there was an aura from within his body blocking my vision." General Wu muttered.
"If you may know, it's at what level you're at now." General Wu asked as he stared fixedly at Ling Yan's face full of probing.
"I'm just an uncle's 5-star warrior." Ling Yan replied lying.
Ling Yan realized that the eternal flame that made General Wu could not see the level of his strength.
"Hmm a 5-star warrior is indeed a natural thing for a child his age, but why do I feel that he is not that simple." Inner general Wu.
"Then you rest here, I want to go back to my place." Said Zhu Qing who ordered his carriage to stop and return to the place of his aunt Mu Qian.
"Wait a minute, where are we now." Ling Yan asked.
Hearing Ling Yan's words, Zhu Qing suddenly turned around and immediately answered Ling Yan's question.
"We are walking towards the capital, if there are no problems on the way, maybe we will arrive in 2 days." Said Zhu Qing and passed towards his carriage.
After hearing Zhu Qing Ling Yan's reply did not ask what else.
"It's best that while I'm with this group, after all this is my first time going to the capital, I'm wondering exactly how big the orchid city of the month is." Inner Ling Yan.

The afternoon changed at night, the horse-drawn carriage and the royal troupe that had been walking now stopped to rest and continue the journey tomorrow morning.
Ling Yan who sensed his body already better decided to get out of the horse carriage and find a suitable place to recover his inner strength.
No one was aware of Ling Yan's departure due to the darkness of the night, under the not-so-bright moonlight, Ling Yan finally found a fitting place not far from Zhu Qing's daughter's entourage.
He then sat down cross-legged and used the celestial path science technique to recover his inner power, quickly the surrounding natural energy instantly gathered and absorbed by him.
After a while finally the power in Ling Yan had returned completely, even he took the time to absorb more and his inner power increased by 2 straight lines.
"Living a little longer I will break through the 3-star silver level, but not now, I must not attract the attention of the warrior and general Wu." He mumbled slowly and stopped his training.
Ling Yan then decided to return to the horse carriage where he lay before, but before he got to the carriage, he did, under the darkness of the night Ling Yan crossed paths with Zhu Qing and a middle-aged woman and 2 warriors with silver swordsmanship abilities.
"Eh you, why are you here, you're still sick." Zhu Qing asked with a puzzled face.
"Sorry princess, I'm just out to recover my strength, I just wanted to go back to....." Before Ling Yan finished his sentence, he suddenly faintly sensed such a dense murderous air.
Due to staying long enough inside the dark forest, Ling Yan was able to detect danger as well as murderous aura even though it was vaguely.
"Auntie, princess, take cover behind me." Said Ling Yan who turned his body around and examined his surroundings.
"Your highness, the princess took cover behind us." the two soldiers who had accompanied the two reacted suddenly because they also felt the same way as Ling Yan.
The surprised Zhu Qing and Mu Qian only followed what Ling Yan and the two soldiers who were with them said.
"What is a soldier." Zhu Qing asked with a slightly pale face in fear.
"We felt a fairly dense killer air, still a bada near us princess." Answer one of the soldiers.
3 People behind the right tree, and 2 others on the left, at least each of them is a 1-star silver swordsman." Said Ling Yan.
"Out of you all, don't be a coward." Shouted one of the soldiers telling them to come out of his hiding place.
But instead of successfully sending the owner of the murderous aura out of the hiding place, a flying knife suddenly shot out at high speed and managed to tear the soldier's neck and was killed instantly.
