Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 222 ~ Shuning City Situation

The city of Shuning looks unusual, although the activity runs normally but it is seen if there are many warriors who go around.

Even the entrance gate of the city guarded at least fifty warriors and five senior warriors from the Seven Golden Spears sect. The checks before entering the city were also very strict.

It can be seen from there is only one examination post, which usually there are three posts. Practically from the large number of visitors, some of them who are traders complain about the queue.

But even so, the situation seemed to be under control. No one's in trouble. The five senior warriors assigned to supervise everyone who was about to enter the city also did their job well.

Although in high alertness but polite and friendly attitude still they forward. Therefore, none of the many queues dare to make trouble.

Inside Shuning City looks busy as usual, only because of the tight guard makes the visitors can not act freely.

Some of the alliance troops that returned after the war in Hibei held out in the city of Shuning. Of course it was an army from a sect that had close ties to the Seven Golden Spears. While the troops from the other sects had returned to their respective sects before entering the forest region of Shuning City.

From the clothes that some warriors wore were visible, indicating the origin of their sect. And most of the Holy Orchid sect, some from Mount Pandan.

It is also seen that there are some warriors who wear scorpion-patterned robes, they are from a small sect located north of the border of the kingdom.

While the guard in front of the sect entrance gate could be said to be very tight. The guards numbering in their twenties looked extremely wary.

The atmosphere within the sect was also no less serious, the disciples who were supposed to be training in the training hall were now all in every corner of the sect. Although still practicing under the supervision of the guidance teachers.

Inside the Spear Elder Hall there are some people who are holding a meeting.

Of the eight people present, all of them looked very serious. Plus two other people were looking uneasy, both of them were in the middle of the meeting room.

The return of Elder Jing Yun and the alliance troops the day before in fact did not make the atmosphere of the meeting alright.

Even the look on Patriarch Sun Sian's face was very serious from the beginning of the meeting, they were all very serious about discussing the matter of the black troops that led to the sect.

Despite having sent spies three times to get information, no one came back. That's why they all feel uneasy.

“If this continues, we are like waiting to be destroyed! What if I myself am looking for information about them?” Elder Feiying volunteered after both Patriarch Sun and Elder Jing Yun did not respond to the unrevisited spy.

Elder Ling Ling closed his eyes while shaking slowly, “It's not easy, a few days ago I tried it but I was confronted by a man dressed all in black, if I wasn't smart enough to escape, maybe I could have died by then. That guy is very strange, the weapon he used is also strange,”

“I told you, they are from the island! Big brother Li Chen must have recruited a swordsman from there for this. I'm afraid, he also has the support of King Shu...! Looks like I have to turn myself in, I don't want innocent people to be victims,”

People with typical royal clothes can be seen bending their faces, looks of sadness mixed with rage. But his carriage was still fairly calm regardless of his feelings.

"What are you talking about, brother! I disagree with your opinion. If the first brother reigns, the people will suffer greatly. Don't let down your father's expectations on Li Fen.!” sergeant Princess Li May Lin, he looked emotional in his attitude to make the existing spear elder speechless while closing his eyes except for Elder Jing Yun and Patriarch Sun Sian.

Prince Li Fen An did not reply and just bit his lips, looking so sharp in the eyes.

Elder Jing Yun let out a voice after some silent time listening to the opinions of everyone.

"So what are we waiting for? Shouldn't we be doing something now?” Elder Feiying again argued.

None of the other elders dared to argue with Elder Feiying, his harsh nature and unwillingness to lose became his trademark. To that end, all of the spear elders were like acting handing over the decision to Elder Jing Yun.

"I don't think they've made a move so far, it shows they're not fully ready for action. So I think we should strengthen the defense and tighten the guard. The residence of Prince Li Fen An must also be even tighter, for the outer area of the sect to be the responsibility of every spear elder while the inner area and the supervision of Prince Li Chen will be my responsibility.” Patriarch Sun Sian gave his opinion as Elder Feiying still insisted on wanting to act alone.

“Good...! We just have to ensure the safety of the people and also the prince, for Princess Li May Lin will be safe as long as she is still with Miss Liqin Mei.” Elder Jing Yun added which was then answered with a simultaneous nod from the spear elders.

While the look on Prince Li Fen An's face was very unusual, he could no longer hide his anger. All he had in mind was how the fate of the people and the legacy of his father, even he did not care about his own safety.

Although Princess Li May Lin tried to calm her down, but it was only temporary before her attitude returned to silence.

The meeting concluded with several important decisions such as increasing the number of guards and tightening the entry and exit of city visitors.

In addition, inter-city merchants are of more concern because they can be used as the most sensible disguise than other disguises.

Elder Feiying looked displeased as he exited the meeting room. While the other elders returned to their respective places, leaving Elder Jing Yun and Patriarch Sun Sian along with Prince Li Fen An and Princess Li May Lin inside the meeting room.

“You guys relax...! If there was a big battle, there would be people who won it. And if anyone gets hurt, there will be people who heal him. I can't say it's luck or not, but obviously we just need to be patient and not take any action before the guy gets here,” Elder Jing Yun opened her voice while playing her white beard, while her pale face looked extremely calm.

Patriarch Sun Sian immediately turned his head before he finally realized the intent of the spear elder. While Prince Li Fen An only smiled faintly, he thought that Elder Jing Yun's words were merely a tranquilizer.

“Yes, I wish there would be such a person! Alright, it seems like big brother needs some time to rest. We retreat first..!” Princess Li May Lin greeted Prince Li Fen An, who looked weak.

"Are you curious, why am I still calm about the situation here? That's natural ... But for now all I can say, we'll be safe in the next few days.” Elder Jing Yun resuscitated her body as she stared at the ceiling of the room, while Patriarch Sun Sian only smiled faintly.

No one knew other than Elder Jing Yun if there was an army of no less terrifying numbers and strength to be around the forest. The black army camp previously informed is also still a considerable distance away.

Elder Jing Yun became the only person who was aware of the presence of such a large number of troops but he knew they had no desire to attack the city despite having a terrible killing appetite.

The only plausible explanation for him was that the mysterious forces were related to Tan Hao's plan. But he also did not want to draw too high a conclusion.

He was only as much as possible to take action according to the direction given by Tan Hao. That was why he was currently still able to be calm and think clearly, unlike Elder Feiying who looked rushed despite knowing the arrangement of Tan Hao's plans.

“I'll go practice absorbing spirit essence of the savage beast, it might take until tomorrow morning. Before that, I will install a protector in the prince's residence, so Patriarch Sun need not worry,”

“Ah yes ... Of all of us, only Senior Jing Yun has the chance to level up again! If that happens, won't our distance get any further, heh...! But no problem, I can catch up later, hehe..!” Patriarch Sun Sian got up from his seat interspersed with a small laugh then walked away from the meeting room.
