The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 180 - An Unending Revenge

A little advice from Xin Fai made Xin Chen's mind start to open, just like Xin Zhan, his father said he would protect her in case something bad happened. Although it was not yet known whether the actions carried out by Xin Chen were purely a crime or indeed had a strong reason. Given that they themselves do not have a clear enough picture of the situation in the Wei Empire.

The two returned home when the rain had stopped.

Xin Zhan was already waiting for their return, he couldn't attend the meeting for some reason and was actually just coming home. Ren Yuan came out of the kitchen, providing small meals and drinks. Xin Zhan wanted to refuse, because she did not want her mother to listen to what she wanted to talk about.

He took Xin Chen to the other room. The room with its red-spirited statue and matching sword, was only until her brother immediately said, "It's not wrong, Aunt Ren Su was involved in an incident that almost harmed her mother."

"Do you have any proof?"

"No, but I have witnesses and clues. He had already killed one man, had deserved to be arrested and imprisoned. I'm not gonna let him wander around quietly after what he's done." Xin Zhan explained from end to end the problem point that his men had uncovered to investigate Ren Su.

Plus information from Xiu Qiaofeng said that Ren Su had been involved in transactions with the people of the Wei Empire. Where the beginning of Red Crystal disease is found.

Then precisely on the day that Ren Yuan was attacked, Ren Su was not present at the tea ceremony held in the Qiu clan. One of the Ren clan's close relatives. That woman should be there. And at his residence the servants said Ren Su left the event.

"We have only guesses. That won't be enough, Brother Zhan."

"Calm down, just have to wait for news from Xiu Qiaofeng. Then that person will not be able to dodge, even if he asks forgiveness to Mother."

Xin Zhan would not forgive the woman who had taken the life of their housekeeper and harmed Ren Yuan. Many suspicious things Ren Su had done, Xin Zhan was sure there was something he was hiding.

"If possible, I hope you also help with Xiu Qiaofeng's investigation. That person had already burned all the evidence Miss Xiu had gathered. If it happens twice, the chances of putting him in jail are getting smaller."

Xin Chen muttered, "If you are killed, you should finish this matter sooner. Mom's healed anyway. If anyone is suspicious, just tell him he slipped to death."

"You think it's that easy?" Xin Zhan wanted to catch her, "She's one of the Ren family. Having loyal bodyguards and servants, there's no way they'd be quiet when that woman died for no reason."

A few days passed since his arrival to Fanlu Town, with the presence of the Lightning Fox at least their house awake. The fox had already said straight away, he had to recuperate and would probably stay with them for a few months. And that was good news for Xin Chen who was indeed unable to sit still at home. He could leave without worrying about Ren Yuan. Because Father and brother Xin Zhan have a job that cannot be left behind.

Xin Chen moved as night fell, down the street of the all-luminous Fanlu City. Occasionally the show attracted the attention of the immigrants and the public, the crowds were inexhaustible in the city. He's spreading a look. Intend to look for several things, including information sellers.

From a merchant he learned one of the information sellers was living in a gun shop. He was disguised and did not carelessly tell his identity.

Xin Chen had just arrived and was about to invite him to speak, but another figure came first. He clenched his mouth, letting the former figure speak.

But his ears were familiar with the girl's voice.

"Fu Hua?"

The girl looked surprised. Only a few know his real name, plus it does not take a second he immediately knows who is calling.

"You .. "

"Thank God you're okay, I'm a little worried about you." Xin Chen said hello, indeed sometimes he thought about the fate of Fu Hua. Her sister had died in her own hands and there was a possibility of her becoming Qin Yujin's target.

The girl caught another word, at a glance her face flushed red. He answered briefly.

"No need to worry about me."

The seller of information was the arrival of the buyer, automatically had to serve them first before closing the store and start talking about the information that Fu Hua wanted to dig.

"But you're rarely seen."

"I just came back here, after searching for the whereabouts of that person from some people who just led me to a dead end information. "

Fu Hua resigned. "I'd love to kill him with my hands."

Xin Chen played down the voice, "You mean Qin Yujin?"

Fu Hua immediately turned his head, a flame full of vengeance burning in his sapphire eyes. "Hearing his name just pisses me off."

"If you look for him. He's not here."

The girl opened her eyes wide, Xin Chen as if knowing where the existence of this person she had been looking for for over a month. It was obvious that he was expecting information from Xin Chen.

"If you know where he is, I don't have to hire this information dealer."

Xin Chen added, "and if you find out any information about the fourth and tenth pillars I will give this information for free."

Fu Hua was silent for a moment. Nodding sure. "You don't have to doubt that."

The shopkeeper was closing the curtains when he saw two of his customers just walk out.

"Eh, hey! Didn't you?" saith.

"Not so, forgive us." Fu Hua cupped his hands in apology. The man opened the curtain again while slamming.

"Currently, make people wish."

There is one place far from the hustle of the city, located in a hill that is not so high. One abandoned temple was left standing there, Xin Chen and Fu Hua sitting on one of the chairs. While looking at the view of the city and the full moon above them.

To discuss this information, Xin Chen did not want to take the risk by discussing it in a crowded place. The spies of the fourth Pillar or Tenth pillar could have been stalking him or even disguised as residents of Fanlu City. But in a desolate place like this, where might they disguise themselves as rocks.

"The person you're looking for is not here. And if you ask my advice, it's better not to chase him all the way there. That place could kill you anytime."

Fu Hua furrowed his brows, "He's in the Qing Empire? If it's just there I can go after him."

Now Xin Chen felt what Xin Zhan and his father used to feel when he insisted on wanting to go to the Wei Empire. But it is true, Fu Hua will not be able to face the cruelty of life on the land of the alchemists. He'll just end up being one of the millions infected there.

."Wei Empire, yes ..." Fu Hua clenched his hands, breathing heavily.

"Then what else do you know about him?"

"The madman is planning an apocalypse."

Kontan the girl was startled and wondered, "Reviticus?"

"One sentence describing the state of affairs in the Wei Empire."

"That bad? I've heard of the great plague in the Empire."

"I'm sure you don't want to see it. It's so fucked up in there. Because it's better you don't go there."

Fu Hua pondered, The grudge within it will not disappear if it is not completed. The only way to do that is to kill Qin Yujin.

Xin Chen said with a hint of anger on his face, "I'm also eyeing his head for me to put on display in my room. He teamed up with a group of researchers to create a plague that might damage this one Empire. Mercilessly. If that were to happen, not even the Demonic Sword would be able to handle this great disaster."

If it was already dealing with a deadly disease, of course they had a medicinal expert. But their science was not as deep as the knowledge that existed in the Wei Empire. Even Xin Chen had briefly read a glimpse of a book in the basement of the Southeast Campground. And out of the thousands of explanations in it, all he could understand was one or two.

"Since childhood again, Big Brother has been so infatuated with the ambition that his master has. He did whatever it took to realize the wishes of the master. Even to sacrifice everything in order to achieve it ..."

Fu Hua looked up at the sky, the reflection of the first moon in his eyes fading away. Her eyes warmed when she remembered her brother's figure.

"Whatever that rotten man plans, I swear I will always destroy it. Like he ruined my life."

Fu Hua's words were just like what he wanted to do. He said, "Then you and I have the same goal. Want to work together?"

The pretty face was in shock. "You can't expect much, compared to you I'm weaker."

"It's okay, if you're why-why I'll help you." He said it with laughter.

"Up to a hundred times, can you?" tanyanya.

"Let me remember. I saved your life three times. There's still ninety-seven more if you want."

Fu Hua laughed. "You forgot I saved you once too."

"Where might I forget."

The girl lowered her head while concealing her laughter, slipping the hairdo that suddenly interrupted the view.

And he just realized in this place they were just the two of them, making him suddenly awkward.

Now he was getting even more misbehaved when he realized Xin Chen was continuing to look at him from the side. The girl held her breath, trying to turn her head to the side and sure enough Xin Chen looked at her.

"W-what?" He stammered.

"Eh, you forgot about the exchange of information. I'm waiting for you to explain about the Fourth and Tenth Pillars of the Empire."

Fu Hua's face couldn't be Xin Chen's. But it seems wrong to choose a place. In his mind it was probably Fu Hua who was the same as him, afraid of ghost-like creatures coming out from behind the hill and chasing after them.

"I know something about the Tenth Imperial Pillar. But if you reveal this information, please don't bring my name into it. The Jiang clan people will kill me if that happens."

"You're working with them?"

Fu Hua shook his head, Xin Chen was wrongly caught. "I was once a servant of the Jiang Clan for only a few months. It was also to go on a mission to become a spy in the politics of the Shang Empire. "

"How long has it been?"

"Not for the past year." Fu Hua continued, "And I stopped working after getting inappropriate treatment from their clan head."

Xin Chen heard it when Fu Hua told him how hard it was to be a servant of the Jiang Clan. They like to play hands and even have the girls serve them. That's why Fu Hua ran away from there.

"They had one mutual relationship with one of the Empire's advisors. One of the most influential people here and his most taken voice in the Empire."

"From your talk you seem to know my purpose in asking about them." Xin Chen guessed it, his guess was correct.

"I heard you refused to become the Imperial Pillar that day. Although not watching the Pilar rapture event. And the news of you being the Pillar of Shadow is that only a handful of people know. I think your job is almost like a spy."

Xin Chen agreed though not completely true. "That's why, since I can't be at the center forever, I can't be a pillar." He cast a distant look up at the sky, the birds fluttering away leaving only a black silhouette above the sky in search of a new abode. His mind was fixed on the figure of Hong Tian and the man named Jiang Cho. That person cannot be allowed to become a pillar for the next five years.

"I understand." Fu Hua turned serious. "On the Tenth Imperial Pillar, he was cooperating with a person named Zing Yongxe. The old man looked weak and holy on the outside. But he used his power in the Empire for business. That's all I know, if you deal with him be careful. He's got a lot of men and spies. You're pecking at him, there's a good chance he's spying on you."

Fu Hua got up from his seat, lowered his head. "It's already night. I gotta get back. You go home too. I heard about the serial killer that came out of the Wei Empire. There's a chance he's also wandering around this town."

Xin Chen nodded slightly, "No need to worry. You alone, dare to go home alone?"

Fu Hua turned around, looking at the dark and silent path. It's terrible that a killer suddenly comes out of the woods and kills him. He seemed to hesitate to step up, even venturing his body shivering because the night wind suddenly blew.

"I arrived at the big road. Come with me." Fu Hua chased after his rapid pace without much talking. Shame and fear are mixed.

Xin Chen was inexhaustible as to how the girl was afraid of the serial killer from the Wei Empire and was escorted by the killer himself. Until at the crossroads they Xin Chen turned the direction. He also has to go back home.

"Thank you ..." Fu Hua said a little while looking at Xin Chen's back which was getting further away. "And I'll see you."
