Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.104 - Go

***

After taking care of various things that must be resolved and the problems of Kuang Bei, Li Han had actually intended to inform the sect matter directly to Li Chun but the sheer number of documents he had to settle left Li Han unable to leave.

Li Han could only send a letter to Li Chun through his beloved dove. Li Han hoped that Li Chun could hide this matter from the children so that their mission delivery plans could run smoothly.

The letter reached Li Chun, he was very distrustful of the information Li Han gave when reading it, it had been hundreds of years that the sect had stood up peacefully but why did the threat appear now? Li Chun could only sigh deeply, trying to accept reality and open his mind.

"Two months yes.The child should have finished with his meditation in a few days. The timing of the sabgat was not right.." Li Chun could only follow the decision of the elders because this was the best choice.

With unrest in his heart Li Chun asked Fu Chen and his two friends to gather. As per Li Han's request, Li Chun would provide a mission for the three of them.

Li Chun gave the three young men the freedom to choose what kind of mission they wanted, after all this was just a false mission as a pretext for sect disciples to be displaced.

Fu Chen, Sin Lou and Kyoto had actually agreed long ago that they would look for an easy mission but with a long time limit. Although it sounded silly but Li Chun was a little happy to hear it.

"Alright, I think there is a mission that suits your wishes.." Li Chun thought as he stroked his chin.

"What is a teacher?" fu Chen and others.

Li Chun slightly glanced at the three young men for a moment, he had heard their conversation earlier while discussing the hometown, Li Chun felt better if he could help them return home while evacuating.

"Hmmm.. ah, I forgot what kind of mission it was, I'll take the file inside," Li Chun just remembered if he had to send his fake mission to Li Han first, he said, which will later be handed over to the sect administration.

"You guys get ready first, I'll find the file." Li Chun waved his hand as if asking Fu Chen and the others to leave while he started to enter his house.

"Are we going to start our mission today?" fu Chen asked curiously.

"Em, yes, maybe not, let's look at the situation first."

Fu Chen only lifted his shoulders for a moment then asked his friends to pack up. Sin Lou was very excited to hear it, apart from having an easy mission he was also happy because Fu Chen promised to replace the heirlooms he damaged when they returned later.

While waiting for Li Chun to make his fake mission Fu Chen once again checked his earth great-grandson. So far Fu Chen did not have much time to look at the entire contents of the ring, it was possible that there was something interesting besides heirlooms and resources in it.

After waiting for two hours Li Chun finally came out with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Accept this." Li Chun thrust out the paper which was then picked up by Fu Chen. "That's your mission statement, you can report it by the time limit there."

Fu Chen slightly raised an eyebrow as he read their mission explanation, the first thing that caught his attention was that the ink on the paper was still wet and looked new, "Hunting for a hundred-year-old demon that threatens the residents of Wutang Village...the time limit is... three months?"

"Teacher, are you sure?" Fu Chen hesitated a little, with their strength now it was indeed not impossible to give a little resistance but another story if killing him.

"Slow down, you have plenty of time.." Li Chun smiled meaningfully and made Fu Chen feel uncomfortable.

"Teacher, can we invite some outer disciples to carry out this mission?" Fu Chen had intended to go with the children who came from the Falling Star Village, it felt very unfair if they did not come along.

Li Chun allowed Fu Chen's proposal and it made Fu Chen smile with satisfaction.

Before the three young men left Li Chun invited them to come somewhere. Li Chun said that the place was the center of the disappearance of the qi energy in the bamboo forest.

It turned out that the place that Li Chun was headed to was not far away, but only reached the waterfall that Fu Chen used to visit.

Thanks to the existence of Li Chun barrier that used to suppress them was gone, this made Fu Chen wonder about the contents of this place. As they went further Fu Chen and the others were a little surprised as it turned out that there was someone who was ascetic under the waterfall.

Whereas Fu Chen had previously made sure if there was no one around the waterfall, but could it be the pressure earlier as well to hide that person? The qi energy around here was also very dense, perhaps this was what Li Chun had said before.

The man who was ascetic still looks young, maybe about 27 years old, his long unraveling hair fused with the puddles around him. His skin was clean but emanated an unpleasant aroma from his body, even in some parts there was a black viscous liquid attached to his skin.

"Teacher, who is this guy?" Fu Chen was quite curious about the person's identity.

"You don't know? He was the first rank strongest disciple in the sect.." Li Chun said it enthusiastically.

The person's name is Li Wushu, he is the adopted son of Li Chun who was killed when a massacre occurred in a village. So far Li Wushu is known to be very talented, at the age of 27 he has managed to reach the Swordsman King realm, talent seems to be quite rare even for large sects.

"He is now meditating for the cleansing of his blood, this is one way that he can rise to a higher level." Li Chun then walked up to Li Wushu.

Fu Chen nodded in understanding, he had read that and understood Li Chun a little. However, to Fu Chen's knowledge the person who was meditating couldn't be bothered as it would dissipate their concentration.

Li Chun looked at Li Wushu with a gentle smile, a hilarious and happy feeling was filling his heart. The boy who once could only cry has now grown up and become a great person. Li Chun then took a slow breath and placed something on the man's lap.

"The next task of guarding this sect will be me handing it over to you," Li Chun muttered softly.

The next morning when Fu Chen and the others were about to leave he just remembered this forest had a special path to go to the residence of the disciples, so Fu Chen went back to see Li Chun and asked for directions.

After they got it they rushed away. Fu Chen felt excited when he imagined the face of his father who was surprised by his historical achievements, Fu Chen also converted to consume the Celestial Goddess Peaches on the journey later.
