Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.114 - Two Mysterious Persons (Arc 1 END)

***

Fu Chen was fixated for so long as he looked at the neatly lined tombs of his family. Fu Chen's heart was a little troubled, could it be that he also had to lie down and create a new tomb beside them?

Previously Fu Chen had lost consciousness for one day as his qi energy was drained away. Even to see his sister's grave he had to leave secretly due to the ban from Sin Zhou who was worried about Fu Chen's mental state.

Fu Chen kneeled beside his father's grave, his right hand holding a gravestone that read Tang Shu as he closed his eyes, "Dad, I can see the chaos I will make in the future, I'll make sure they get a worse response than this."

"May'er.I promise to avenge them with this sword, the sword that took your life." Fu Chen smiled bitterly, the sword he thought would protect his family was eating his own master.

Fu Chen was silent afterwards, his tongue was a bit of a tongue to speak, all the sadness mixed in Fu Chen's heart bore bitter fruit. Vengeance and anger continuously filled his mind.

Fu Chen then got up, he glanced at the tomb once more before leaving it. While Sin Zhou who was aware Fu Chen was not at home became panicked, worried Fu Chen would do the same with his younger brother.

Sin Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the young man was cleaning his own house. The house was the most beautiful memory for Fu Chen, so he had to take care of it to keep it awake.

Sin Lou and his friends immediately offered to help Fu Chen, before they had no time to do anything because they were still in a state of grief.

Fu Chen smiled gently before agreeing and their work ended quickly. Sin Zhou did not expect that Fu Chen would still be able to smile after what he had been through lately, not even sure he could do the same if he was in the position of the young man.

"Son, stay with us if you want, you're not alone, I'll always welcome you as family." Sin Zhou smiled gently.

"Thank you uncle, but I have my own plans." Fu Chen then immediately prepared a horse, preparing some other equipment so that Sin Zhou would not suspect him.

"Where are you going, Brother Chen? What about our mission?" sin Lou rushed over when he saw Fu Chen start riding the horse, his face looking anxious.

"I want to go somewhere, you can complete the mission as you like, I won't interfere.." Fu Chen immediately spurred on his horse.

"Wait, I'll come with you!" Sin Lou was begging a little.

However Fu Chen immediately rejected him, he did not want the young man to get involved in his matter any further. Fu Chen sped up his horse but Sin Lou came back. Before Sin Lou could speak Fu Chen first gave him a warning.

"Don't make me repeat it again! Stay here and get out of my way! I don't need your sepete!" Fu Chen said coldly, he was forced to say it to make Sin Lou give up.

Unknowingly the murderous aura he had been getting all this time seeped out, making the breath of Sin Lou and his father immediately restrained. Sin Lou slightly stepped away from Fu Chen in shock, his mouth slightly open, about to utter a sentence but was immediately restrained by his father.

Sin Zhou shook his head slowly while holding his son's shoulders. All this time Shin Zhou had known Tang Shu's identity, Shin Zhou realized Fu Chen would not stay silent after everything he had experienced. Despite being worried, Shin Zhou did not have the strength to stop the young man.

"I hope he stays on the right path" muttered Sin Zhou with a long sigh, then gave a little advice to his son before returning to their residence.

"It's been a lot nicer since I last saw it…"

Fu Chen approached the hut his father used to train him first. It was obvious that Tang Shu had always taken care of this place, even the place where she used to practice swords was also getting wider. It seemed like Tang Shu was planning to teach Fu Chen a much more formidable swordsmanship if he were still alive.

Fu Chen went into the hut and checked the contents inside, he found three wooden boxes neatly lined up there. Fu Chen took him out because it was too narrow inside.

"I had guessed that you couldn't possibly store something like this in the Village.." Fu Chen felt the radiance of qi energy from the 2 boxes in front of him while another box looked ordinary.

Fu Chen opened a wooden box that did not emit qi and was of long size. Inside it turned out to contain a pile of wooden swords and a bamboo flute on the top pile. Fu Chen took the flute and found an engraving that read a name.

"Dad.." Fu Chen clenched his hands while closing his eyes.

Fu Chen slightly took a deep breath before opening the next box. In the 2nd box were some precious resources, Fu Chen was able to recognize them all thanks to his knowledge during his time in the sect. Fu Chen's gaze was then fixed on the last box, the box that emitted the densest qi.

However, an electric current suddenly stung Fu Chen's hand as he tried to open it, Fu Chen tried harder but the result remained the same.

"Do I have to reach a certain level to open it? All right, I'll keep it first." Fu Chen felt that he did not need any of that at the moment.

After putting the two boxes into the Earth Ring and tidying the hut back up, Fu Chen immediately took off his clothes and did a hermitage under the waterfall. Fu Chen wanted to calm his mind first before making a decision later.

**

Two days had passed, Fu Chen's mind felt refreshed and his feelings became calmer. Then Fu Chen immediately put on his clothes, lucky that his horse did not starve because there was grass that could be eaten there.

Fu Chen was intending to go to the cave where he used to get a lot of purple crystals. Fu Chen felt that there was something that could help his cultivation there, even though he now had a lot of resources but it was all useless if he did not know how to step into the next stage.

Fu Chen relied on his memories strong enough to find the cave. The outer appearance of the cave did not change, only that the air there felt warmer for Fu Chen.

As Fu Chen set foot into the cave, suddenly the Earth ring in his hand trembled slightly and let out a white light for a while.

"What's going on?" Fu Chen frowned, but the ring returned to normal as he checked.

Fu Chen's feeling suddenly became uneasy as he went deeper. He stopped his steps when he found a pond that he had once used, the pool was seen shining light emanating from hundreds of purple crystals in the cave.

"Finally you're back, young man…"

Fu Chen instantly flinched as a strange voice echoed within the cave. His gaze immediately swept around, but he found nothing. Fu Chen glanced at the end of the cave while gulping, but unfortunately the place was too dark.

"Who are you?" Fu Chen increased his alertness.

There was a growling sound before the strange sound came back, "Is that the appropriate answer after I saved your life?"

Such a fierce aura suddenly suppressed Fu Chen's body as the voice disappeared. Fu Chen had difficulty breathing to the point of forcing him to kneel down, as his consciousness began to weaken suddenly his earth ring emitted a dazzling light.

Fu Chen slightly raised his head to look at the slightly transparent white figure that floated in front of him, thanks to that figure the aura suppressing Fu Chen's body disappeared.

"Why does danger always come to you, Young Man?" said the figure glanced at Fu Chen from the corner of his eyes, "Here forget it first, I will take care of this Little Fox first…"

Fu Chen frowned because he did not understand what the figure said as if he did not expect an answer from him. Even Fu Chen was still wondering where these powerful people had appeared from.

"You…!" the strange voice came back, but this time it sounded like it was holding in anger and rage, "How did you get here?"

The white figure chuckled softly, "This is what fate calls, Little Fox!"
