Light Cultivation
Eps. 243 — Night Fireworks
Jian Chen's fight almost damaged the surroundings, not just the ground being paved, some buildings also suffered damage including the previous restaurant.
Jian Chen returned to the restaurant by jumping and landing on the fifth floor, Meily and Ziyun directly hugged him simultaneously.
"Why? Is there anything that's putting you at risk?" Jian Chen stroked the hair of the two in turn.
Meily shook her head softly in her arms, "I'm just worried about you..."
Jian Chen smiled warmly, it seemed that even though he excelled in the fight just now Ziyun and Meily still had their own worries.
Jian Chen then took the two away from the restaurant, the views of the servants and the other citizens changed after Jian Chen showed his strength.
Jian Chen did not care about it, before he left Jian Chen gave a pouch of money in compensation to the restaurant because of the damage he had made.
"Brother Jian where are we going?" Ziyun asked halfway, Jian Chen took her and Meily to different places.
"The city situation will be in danger tonight, there's a group of people who will attack the city." Jian Chen replied without hiding it anymore.
Meily and Ziyun's countenances changed, hoping that it was all just a joke but Jian Chen's fight just now showed the seriousness of the situation.
Jian Chen brought the two to the association branch he had previously occupied, Jian Chen's arrival was immediately welcomed by Manager Yuan.
"Young Master, are you back?"
Manager Yuan bowed respectfully to Jian Chen, he also briefly glanced at the two girls behind him who thought that they were the lovers of his young master.
Jian Chen nodded slowly. "I want to talk important, can you give me one special room."
"Of course young master, please..." Manager Yuan brought Jian Chen into his private room while Meily and Ziyun followed.
"I'll talk directly, the situation you're telling me about is faster than it should be, the city's assault is coming tonight..."
Jian Chen explained the situation that the mastermind of the gathering of the enemy forces was indeed related to the Shio Hunter Organization, precisely there were two members who were around this city right now.
The two Shio members gathered many organizations under him and made an alliance to attack Anshan City, the problem was that they also brought long-retired warriors under him.
Manager Yuan's expression turned tense, as an important part of the association could be said that he had received a lot of information from criminals including the Shio.
Manager Yuan understood, one Shio alone is enough to make the people around him hassles especially if there are now two. Now he could imagine the dire situation of Anshan City.
"Young master, so what should we do?" Manager Yuan asked Jian Chen for advice, this kind of situation was too sudden and made him unable to think clearly.
"I have a plan but not a war..."
Jian Chen explained that Manager Yuan had to deploy all the association warriors to save the people around the city.
Cities may be destroyed some but the lives of the citizens are the top priority. Jian Chen also asked Manager Yuan to keep Meily and Ziyun here.
After delivering his affairs Jian Chen rushed away, his next destination was the Mayor's residence.
"Are you going?" Meily asked as Jian Chen stepped his foot out.
"This city needs my strength, I can't stand by or the lives of the citizens are in danger..." Jian Chen stroked the tip of Meily's head, he could feel the girl worrying about him.
If it was possible to choose, Ziyun and Meily wanted to be with Jian Chen to crush the criminals but they realized, with his current strength both were not helpful enough.
Jian Chen nodded, stroking the heads of the two gently before leaving by hovering in midair.
Jian Chen had no time to walk so he flew over to the Mayor's residence. The sudden arrival of Jian Chen made the Mayor rush out of his residence.
The mayor held his breath as he saw Jian Chen hover in midair, he had already guessed that young man who looked a dozen years old in the Sky Realm but saw him directly clearly seemed different.
Jian Chen first asked about Lun Zhi's whereabouts but it turned out that Lun Zhi had long since left the Mayor's residence.
Jian Chen was about to explain about the enemy troops preparing to attack this city but it turned out that the Mayor already knew about it.
"Broker, a few hours ago when you left my residence, there was news from the soldiers that there was a large army outside the city border, that's why Pendekar Lun is not here now because he's at the border."
The mayor said some other news included positive news about the arrival of the new Imperial troops shortly after the news of the attack.
This Imperial army made the number of its troops superior to the alliance formed by the Shio Hunter Organization but still, in the martial world the number was not the winner.
"What about the citizens, have you thought of a way to evacuate them?"
"That's... We are trying to do it but it will take a long time. I'm not sure everything can be evacuated." The mayor bit his lips, the population of Anshan City was very much about a million more. It is unlikely that this number will be evacuated for a few hours.
Jian Chen sighed, he was speechless because that was the way it was. Not to mention the Mayor had to prioritize about the attacks outside the city borders.
"You'd better announce this attack to the townspeople first, it's not too late. I'll also-..."
Jian Chen had not finished speaking as the sound of explosions rang out loudly outside the city borders, Jian Chen and the Mayor both turned their heads, he could see that those exploding were fireworks.
Fireworks that erupt are red, look beautiful when in the explosion in the dark of the night but all the warriors in the city react badly when they see the fireworks.
Jian Chen, the Mayor as well as the city officials realized that the fireworks were a sign of the attack the Alliance of enemy organizations began to move.
Jian Chen clucked in annoyance and clenched his hands hard, he turned to the Mayor and asked him for something.
"I have a plan to beat them back, do you have a room ready to be vandalized?"
The mayor looked puzzled by Jian Chen's request but he did not ask any further.
Seeing Jian Chen so confident in his words just now, the Mayor believed that Jian Chen could save his city.
He then led Jian Chen into a room before leaving him alone.
"If you need my help, you can ask now..." Lily suddenly made a sound from her mind.
Jian Chen raised his eyebrows, unlike usual the beautiful girl offered help first.
"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to receive anything free from you. I help you as long as you have to absorb the warrior with the power of the Sky Realm..."
Jian Chen coughed softly, "Why didn't you say, I forgot to absorb the Celestial Realm swordsman earlier?"
"It's okay, you can do it later. Now do you want help or not?" Lily folded her hands on her chest.
Jian Chen actually did not really need Lily's help but he was curious about the form of help from the girl. Jian Chen finally accepted the offer.
Lily smiled broadly. "You'll probably like it, I'll show you the power of this Princess..."
