Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 555 - Indifference and Disinterest
...
Three years later.
In the end, that blood essence gradually absorbed away.
Zhang En's cultivation level rose to the mid stage Heavenly God Realm and the two giant arms above the altar turned into ashes, disappearing in thin air.
Zhang En then slowly opened his eyes.
SWOSH!!!
RUMBLEE!!!
The entire room trembled, a strong wind suddenly blowing with Zhang En as the center, swallowing everything in their path.
When Zhang En stood up, the strong wind then gradually stopped.
"It's amazing." Zhang En murmured to himself sensing his strength.
He made a grasping movement in the air, and from above the void air, spiritual energy flowed into his hand, condensing into a piece of god spirit stone.
"It's been three years in this place, wondering what the situation is like out there."
Thinking of this, Zhang En's silhouette disappeared from its place. In a short time, he reappeared above ground level.
He then stood there for a bit, his divine sense spreading, searching for the existence of experts from the demon beast clan.
After a while later, he immediately found a group of demonic beast clan experts inside a small cave in a poisonous valley.
There were more than thirty of them, the majority of them were in the One Star Ancestral God Realm.
A wide smile appeared on Zhang En's face. Without spending any more time, he slaughtered each of the experts from this demon beast clan, obliterating them all and partially recording his battle trail on the recording stone. He then collected the corpse into his spatial ring and left the Red World, directly heading to the Phoenix World, where the Phoenix Sect was located.
...
Two days later, Zhang En had already returned to the Phoenix Sect and immediately met Elder Lu.
When Elder Lu saw Zhang En, he was surprised as well as feeling pleased.
It had been three years since that day Zhang En went to join the Alliance in the Red World to complete his mission, but had disappeared ever since. There was no news of XenHu aka Zhang En causing Elder Lu to assume that his disciple might have died under the attack of the demon beast clan.
“Good because you have returned.” Hearing Zhang En's explanation, his usually resolute old face turned into a smile, and did not doubt whether Zhang En was telling the truth.
After which, Zhang En then appeared at the Fire Wing Peak adjacent to the Thunder Flame Peak.
The procedure for the eligibility of becoming an elder was carried out at the Peak of the Fire Wings and there was a hall there called the Mission Hall.
When Zhang En stepped into the main hall, there was a group of elite disciples who submitted their mission reports. Seeing Zhang En's presence, many of them were shocked.
After all, one of the hottest gossip in recent years was the death of Xen Hu and now, the man who was said to have died was standing in front of them, and it shocked them.
"Xen Hu is not actually dead!"
“So what if he's still alive? Gu Shan was the son of one of the Demon Beast Clan Kings who died because of him, that demon beast clan was definitely going to kill him, unless he decides not to take a single step out of this sect of ours in his entire life. Otherwise, only death awaits him out there!”
Many disciples were talking to their comrades harshly about Xen Hu aka Zhang En.
Zhang En's face remained the same despite all the deliberate rude remarks said about him.
He really wasn't bothered about it at all. Based on his current strength, he had nothing to fear for most High-tier Heavenly God Realm and early-stage Golden Realm experts. Even if Gu Shan's father came to personally capture him, it would still be difficult to kill Zhang En.
After entering the inner hall, Zhang En took out the ten corpses of demonic beast clan experts as evidence of completing his mission. After receiving the identity token of the elder and his robe, he left the Peak Wing of Fire, returning to the Peak of Thunder Flame.
Zhang En then rested on that day. Early the next morning, he put on an Elder robe and hung the elder's identity mark on his waist before heading to the Information Hall.
After arriving there, he headed straight for the first level underground floor. With his elder identity token, Zhang En entered without much hindrance.
Just like he did before, Zhang En stood still in front of the information scroll rack by spreading his spirit senses. With his strength now, it also strengthened his divine senses, the speed of seeing the information from each support increased significantly.
Zhang En spent a year to finish all reading the information that was beneath the basement. Now, he felt that he had almost gotten the information he was looking for and determined a Divine Flame somewhere.
In this one year as well, Shinshin had searched for Zhang En several times and met him and was overjoyed when Zhang En aka Xen Hu was still alive.
He then thanked Zhang En for giving him the pills that healed him. But, after several times looking for excuses and wanting to get close to Zhang En, Shinshin clearly felt Xen Hu's indifference and disinterest towards him, as well, Shinshin then stopped seeing Xen Hu aka Zhang En ever since.
...
Inside the Thunder Flame Palace at night.
'In the space of another year, I will finish searching for the information on the remaining underground floor.' Zhang En said inwardly.
