#23. The red moon eclipse night
Now that night had arrived, the entire sky was now in a blanket in red, Han Zhao woke up from his sleep, due to the chill that continued to be felt around him.
"...." - ".Han Zhao sat on his bed while hugging his own body.
"Gege??" call Longfei who is standing in front of Han Zhao's room door.
"..." - ".Han Zhao glanced towards the door and only nodded slowly.
"It's eclipse night tonight, so it's very cold"
"Well" Han Zhao nodded slowly, unable to speak much, as the cold weather was hindering his mindset.
"Then, Longfei permits his farewell, Gege" Longfei said as he greeted Han Zhao.
"Nights like this? Where are you going??" asked the curious Han Zhao.
"The supreme god asked all his subordinates to gather tonight"
Han Zhao was speechless after knowing this "Be careful Longfei, this weather is very bad, lest you have a fever just because there is business with the gods"
Longfei nodded softly "Xiexie Gege for his attention, Longfei will remember Gege's message" he said as he walked away.
While Han Zhao sat quietly in his room while thinking about Longfei's words earlier.
'Longfei is the strongest god subordinate member??'
'What does Longfei's spiritual energy really look like, so that he can be in this position??' muttered Han Zhao inside his silence.
After muttering for quite a while, Han Zhao went out of the temple, with the intention of only to take a short walk in search of the wind.
"Huhhh, it's cold, even I can see my own breath" Han Zhao said as he rubbed his hands together.
Han Zhao looked at his surroundings that were filled with red light from the radiance of the lunar eclipse.
"What was the night of the eclipse, a different night than the other night?? It feels like something's weird around here"
Han Zhao started to walk deeper into the forest, Han Zhao's guess about the night of the red moon eclipse today was very strange.
Srekk...Srekk.
The sound of footsteps walking past the bush, Han Zhao who was aware of it, quickly twisted his body and fended off the attack from behind.
*Boomm*
A huge explosion occurred when Hong Li's white sword and a swordsman's sword collided with each other's spiritual energy.
'Who is this warrior?? Why did he attack me so suddenly?' muttered Han Zhao who continued to resist the swordsman's attack.
"...." - ".The swordsman fell silent and continued to focus on one point of his assault.
"..." - ".Han Zhao who too often fended off the attacks from the swordsman, made himself exhausted.
"Hong Li-sama, what fate do we have right now?? Even on this honorable night we meet here" the swordsman said, stopping his attack.
"..." - ".Han Zhao was silent as he adjusted his breath.
The swordsman was astonished when he saw Han Zhao only composed with his silence "What is Hong Li?? Have you forgotten me??" ask the swordsman while inserting his sword.
'Forgetting you?? Knowing you alone does not' muttered Han Zhao.
"Yes" Han Zhao said as he put Hong Li's white sword into his place.
"Let the Servant introduce myself to my master, I am Cao Shen of the Shen sect, our residence is north of the Lou Ying mountain"
"Chen??" asked Han Zhao who was a little confused.
Cao Shen chuckled softly when he heard Han Zhao mispronounce the name of his sect "I'm sorry my second young master Li, our sect named Shen is not Chen" Cao Chen said confirming Han Zhao's mistake.
Han Zhao was aware of his mistake, with a spoonful of him bowing his head to "Duibuqi Cao Shen-sama"
"It's okay Hong Li, after all our kingdom has not been around for a long time, so it's only natural that no one recognizes it"
"A-ahhh sorry, ma'am-that's not what I mean" Han Zhao said stammeringly as he felt guilty.
Cao Shen smiled then nodded softly "Young master Li why are you in the middle of a forest like this??" cao Shen asked as he folded his left hand back.
"There's nothing, just looking for the wind" Han Zhao said.
"Don't breathe too much air during the night of the red lunar eclipse, sir"
"Why??"
"His air is mixed with the aura of the demon king, that is why a lot of red mist is spreading in the air" Cao Shen explained.
"Ohh, so yeah"
"Well, if young master Li is pleased will you visit our kingdom for a while??"
"Yes, of course, Why not" Han Zhao said, accepting Cao Shen's invitation.
Cao Shen and Han Zhao went to the Shen residence temple, once there, Han Zhao was stunned when he saw the magnificent Shen residence temple.
"Woahhh.a very beautiful temple" Han Zhao said as he looked around.
Cao Shen chuckled faintly at Han Zhao's remark "As if you overestimated this temple, young master Li"
"No, I'm telling you the truth"
"Alright" Cao Shen said as he opened the door of Li's residence hall.
KREKKK!!!
The door of the Shen residence hall was wide open, a green and red light completely fused within there, Han Zhao to the point of not being able to blink his eyes.
But as Hong Li looked around suddenly Han Zhao's countenance changed instantly, when he saw the green and red graded jade on the large tide behind the emperor's seat.
"Hong Li's jade stone??"
