Light Cultivation
Eps. 218 — Blood Sword Organization
"Now everything's safe, you can take the others out." Jian Chen put on his mask.
"It's..."
Yue Lian gulped, the government area that was usually clean of garbage even though it was now filled with many bodies, the fishy smell of stinging blood filled the surrounding air.
"I know it's a little overkill, but I think they deserve it, letting them live would be disastrous for others..." Jian Chen shook his head slowly.
Yue Lian closed her eyes, adjusting her breathing as well as calming herself for what happened tonight. Yue Lian then asked Jian Chen's next plan.
"After this I will go to the headquarters of the Blood Sword Organization located, this kidnapping case will not stop unless the mastermind of them is eliminated."
"Then I'll come along..."
Jian Chen nodded. "It's too dangerous there, you might die in vain before it comes to its headquarters."
Yue Lian bit her lips, she was sure the real reason was because her strength was still weak, following Jian Chen would probably be a burden to her.
"But what about you, doesn't the same warning apply to you?" Yue Lian did not want Jian Chen to act rashly so as to risk her life.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, he was sure in this Dragon Empire it would be difficult to find something that could kill him.
"Just relax, my strength isn't too bad either, if I don't succeed I'll run away in a secret way."
Although Jian Chen said confidently still Yue Lian was worried as well as hesitant, there was something that stuck her mind which was the reason why Jian Chen had to go this far just because of her.
"Then I'll tell the mayor and the other government that they storm the headquarters of the Blood Sword Organization."
Yue Lian had previously been told the location of the Blood Sword Organization headquarters from Jian Chen so it was not difficult to find it just that he needed time to go there.
Jian Chen did not forbid the idea of Yue Lian precisely that was exactly what the action should be, as long as Yue Lian told the others Jian Chen would first go to the headquarters.
"Thank you, words are not enough to describe your services..."
Yue Lian was very sure Jian Chen was still hiding all his strength, although the young man had not completely helped him yet he had a good premonition towards what Jian Chen was doing.
Initially Yue Lian thought Jian Chen had a taste for her so the young man always reasoned to be with her.
Yue Lian's conjecture wasn't entirely wrong, the reason Jian Chen had acted this far was other than because of his feelings he also wanted to create a safe environment for Yue Lian.
"Don't you ask me for something after you've infiltrated here, what is it?" Yue Lian still remembered Jian Chen's request before breaking into the government area.
Jian Chen did not immediately reply but rather kept silent for a while, he looked at Yue Lian behind his mask with a different look. "Did you bring that red pearl ball?"
Yue Lian was surprised, she did not expect Jian Chen to know the thing inside his spatial ring, indeed as Jian Chen had said, the pearl was on him.
Yue Lian then took out the red pearl from her spatial ring, a pearl that was only a handful of hands in size and glowed reddish.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, the pearl ball that was in the palm of Yue Lian's hand was the pearl of the element that made Jian Chen hunted down by the organization of 12 Shio Hunters in his previous life.
Before Yue Lian died, she gave the pearl to Jian Chen.
"I don't know how you know this thing but if you ask me I don't mind..."
"Thank you, this thing is the thing that the secret organization is looking for, bringing it could bring you havoc." Jian Chen then took out a small pouch on Yue Lian and gave it. "I'm not gonna ask for it for free, as a payment I'm giving it to you."
Yue Lian initially refused as she gave it away sincerely but after Jian Chen forced her and Yue Lian opened the leather pouch, it was hard for the girl to refuse.
"It... That legendary spirit stone, how can you have it?"
Jian Chen did not give a clearer explanation to Yue Lian, he understood the girl was too shocked to see her. Jian Chen said for Yue Lian to keep it at once to train with the spirit stone in order for her cultivation to rise stronger.
After quite a long talk Jian Chen bailed away, he could not delay the trip for too long.
"I hope you survive, if it's dangerous then wait for me or the government troops to come..."
Jian Chen nodded, he waved his hand before turning around and going to the north. Yue Lian stared at Jian Chen's departure until finally the young man was lost in the darkness of the night.
"You're really hiding all your expressions well?" Lily who was watching the conversation of Jian Chen and Yue Lian finally opened her voice.
"I don't want him to see my gaze on her, he'll realize something if he sees her..."
The reason Jian Chen was wearing a mask was because he did not want Yue Lian to see his face when talking to the girl. On the other hand, Lily realized this.
"I don't understand your reasons but are you willing to do this?"
"I've decided from the beginning when I came back to this second life, even if it wasn't with him I wish he had a safe life here."
Lily sighed, according to him Jian Chen could have continued with Yue Lian if he still loved her but the young man actually acted the opposite, that action made Lily astonished.
Lily did not discuss any further, when Jian Chen had already passed the city barrier she continued her journey by flying.
To head to the headquarters of the Blood Sword Organization was a great distance away if by land, it would take a long time but by flying, Jian Chen could slash the time.
***
It took two days without rest, Jian Chen finally arrived at the headquarters of the Blood Sword Organization.
The headquarters of the organization was set up in the middle of the forest right around the swamps.
They made a high wall around it that guarded several posts, guards monitor around and protect if any wild animals or demons approached.
"Who's crazy enough to set up a base here..." Jian Chen shook his head slowly. Hearing and seeing it directly is clearly different.
Jian Chen then chose to walk when the distance to the headquarters was close.
One might be thought to be insane to encounter such a dangerous headquarters as Jian Chen did. The headquarters of the Blood Sword Organization was famous as well as the organization of the nested assassins.
Jian Chen continued walking until the end he arrived in front of the headquarters gate, It didn't take long until Jian Chen's whereabouts were noticed by one of their guards.
