The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 187 - A Crushed Seal

Sculpting. That was all Emperor Qin had done since three seconds ago, when Xin Chen told him straight away the painful truth.

"Chen'er ... You know what you're doing, don't you?"

Xin Chen lowered his face. Trying to think, "I understand. But His Majesty doesn't yet know more of anything more shocking than this."

Emperor Qin was now really serious. He cannot take the problem lightly. No longer a personal matter, this matter would bring destruction to both sides of the Empire.

"Qin Yujin, Your Majesty's brother. He had been a mortal enemy of father since long ago. And the crazy plan goes on. This time he cooperated with Emperor Shi and the researchers in the Wei Empire. Creating a crazy creation. They transmit deadly diseases through bites. If it gets a bite that person will turn vicious. They're just undead."

"But trust me, with this plague, it doesn't take three hundred thousand warriors or Dark Dragon or even the Demon Sword to destroy the Shang Empire. Just one bottle of the virus and spread to one village, then no more than a week Fanlu City will be filled with the undead who walk."

"The Shang Empire will turn into hell."

"Then did you find a way to stop them?"

"The only successful study of them was in Laboratory B-1. I almost got the thing and was about to eliminate it but Qin Yujin took it first."

"Then?"

"I'm not getting that box. Except in one way."

Emperor Qin asked him to explain. Xin Chen knew Emperor Qin was a trustworthy person. And on the other hand he could not let the leader of this Empire have absolutely no idea of the dangers that were threatening the Shang Empire.

"Cooperate with Emperor Shi's son. Shi Long Xu. He made coups and always failed. I helped him achieve a major change for the people of the Wei Empire and he helped me get the box."

The Qin Emperor's two hands were clinging to each other on the table, twitching uneasily. Considering the situation he was facing right now turned out to be even more grave than what was seen within the Empire. The man took a deep breath as he could, neutralizing the thoughts that were starting to stir.

"It's a serious problem."

"Everyone says that."

The silence in the backyard adds to the silence. Xin Chen waited for Emperor Qin to give a response amid his shock, knowing for sure that the man did not agree with the actions he took.

"But you finally got the box?"

Emperor Qin confirmed.

"Of course, I've made sure it burns out with no waste."

"Do you see the seal is still intact?" Emperor Qin's question made Xin Chen's head start to swirl, he tried to remember as best as he could. Only remembered the shape of the key that bound the box when it was already with the Central Military Faction.

While in Laboratory B-1, his memory is not so clear because at that time the disease is relapsing. What he can remember is that he turned violent and tore up infected like an animal.

"Remember it again."

Xin Chen's eyes opened. The memory of Qin Yujin's hand lifting the box and a blue paper seal with the name of the Central Research Agency. That original seal, he had not seen it at all when it was returned by Shi Long Xu.

" ... The seal doesn't exist."

"This is the worst possibility. Shi Long Xu was unbelievable. And most likely, the virus is being developed on-site with more complete tools. I know a little about their Empire. And Xin Chen, at least you dare to say this to me. We need to start looking for ways to deal with it."

"By going to the Wei Empire."

"Then do your job to the end, Pillar of Shadow."

"Wait, Your Majesty isn't angry with what I just said? I mean, it's all about the life-safety of this whole empire. And I could potentially carry a great threat."

Emperor Qin smiled faintly. A little bit of worry and worry began to rise in the ripples of his face, but the man did not look at him with anger. "Chen'er, I know you and your father like my own family. When the competition began, I immediately knew who they were looking for. Because the only thing that makes you different isn't just your blue eyes. But also that determination and that guile decision."

Emperor Qin got up from his seat, standing his back while staring at the pond in front.

"I myself have appointed you to be the Pillar of Shadow. Whatever results you bring to me, will be my responsibility."

Xin Chen never expected Emperor Qin to understand what he was facing right now. And it was actually the same towards Xin Fai and Xin Zhan.

Whatever happens, her father and brother will protect her.

"Because we know. You're fighting for the right thing."

The sun had appeared clearly above the sky, Xin Chen woke up. Emperor Qin patted him on the shoulder. And a little surprised because it just penetrates. He's trying to understand that.

"One day if this news spreads. I'll handle the problems that arise here. And in exchange. Stop my brother from a crazy experiment that could take the lives of millions of people. We should avoid that hell you said it was."

"Era of Destruction." Emperor Qin ended his words, then left to carry out his role as Emperor.

Xin Chen closed his eyes. His head looked up at the sky so bright. Peace and quiet. Shadow the state of the city in the Wei Empire, overcast and seedy filled with infected. Xin Chen could not compare the two places. Totally different.

His mind locked onto Shi Long Xu.

And began to wonder, "Is that person trustworthy?"

He so remembered his great determination and great will to turn the Wei Empire into a better place. How the Defenders were disinclined to him and even the Rain Temple itself.

Xin Chen just wished that all was still running within his control.

Upon returning home, Xin Chen was approached by a Fanlu City Warrior, very hurried as he approached.

"Young Master Xin second!" The man's hand only patted the wind as Xin Chen immediately dodged.

"What's wrong?"

Xin Chen frowned. "This morning?"

"He said that people who knew the clues of the perpetrator who harmed Madam Ren Yuan were held captive and they were in one of the city towers. Come with me."

Xin Chen immediately followed the man's steps, blending in the crowd towards a wasted place and had been out of operation for a long time. Upon arrival Xin Chen found Xin Zhan standing before someone tied up in a wooden chair.

That person was battered made Xin Zhan. Red-and-blue bruises dyed the cheeks, nose, forehead to the lips of the man as if to join a parade of fine art. Xin Chen approached, noticing more clearly the smiling face.

Random, rather shabby and dirty. It didn't look like Ren Su's maid or bodyguard.

"Have you got anything?"

Xin Zhan replied, shaking his fist which was starting to cramp. "Oh, there's." He clenched his fist again,

"Something useless."

The punch hit the stomach of the person, he vomited a lot of blood. Doesn't seem to want to fight at all. Xin Chen took over when he saw Xin Zhan was already exhausted facing that person.

"I don't want to make small talk."

Xin Chen made a circle of Fire Immortality around the man, he just shook his head. Laugh weakly and lock his mouth tightly.

But before long his head lifted again, a black figure walked towards him. The spirit form that looked like a life-seeking angel stopped in front of him. The man regressed his reflex body.

He didn't see a face at all on that face.

His hand was forced apart from the ties behind the chair. The spirit forced him to open his palm. Then the other hand of the spirit was on top.

The fire power of Eternity smoldering burned the soil and grass growing around it. The spirit was dripping a hot blue liquid from the hand that fell right on the palm of the man's hand.

"Armghhhh!"

Pain is not playing. The droplets were like melts of steel burned with fire at such high pressure. One by one the droplets fell again, making his palms hollow.

The man's eyes were reddened, enduring the pain and aches that plagued his entire body. "He-stop, I can talk. Please."

"You should be able to say it directly without waiting for your hand to fall victim." Xin Chen insinuated it was upset. Xin Zhan knitted his brows, painstakingly beating at the person but in fact Xin Chen's way was more sadistic than his way.

"Who harmed my mother?"

"Mrs Ren Su, she did it." He shuddered in horror, afraid that the female's men had come eavesdropping on what he had just revealed. His chest was up and down, between fear and still pain.

"On what basis?"

"I don't know. But he only said about revenge and revenge. Please sir, the rest I don't know. Please let me go!"

He lowered his head many times, Xin Chen rejected him.

"Just go straight home. You alone, what does this have to do with him?"

"I'm just Mrs Ren's delivery man."

"The deliveryman has his own formal attire." Xin Chen turned out to be one voice with her brother.

"I asked the same thing. If he's a delivery guy, why don't his clothes be like a thug in the market."

"Except ...."

Xin Chen's gaze made the man clumsy.

"Introduction to prohibited goods."

"It makes sense."

"Ti-no sir, I don't know anything about that-"

"You're more afraid of Ren Su than of my fire? With that woman maybe you can still survive. With me, you can only survive depending on what you're talking about right now."

Silently, the man shivered on the spot.

"Tell the truth or say goodbye to the world."

The spirit was still standing behind him. Ready to come at any time to torture him again. He didn't want to deal with a melt of fire that could kill him like he was stung by poison. The man opened his voice.

"I'm the deliveryman for Lady Ren Su, she brought the medicines and research materials she got from the Wei Empire. Conducting trials at his residence and creating dangerous herbs. The source of the supplier of research materials came from researchers at one of the laboratories in the Wei Empire that is still active. More than that, I don't know anything."

"Where is Ren Su now?"

"I don't know, Mister-"

"Say!" Xin Zhan was bluffing.

"I swear I don't know. But if the Gentlemen were curious, it was likely that by now he had already gone to the Wei Empire. To continue what he researched."

"Damn it, he ran away?"

Again and again they missed a step behind Ren Su. Xin Zhan closed his eyes while frowning his forehead, "He knew he would be imprisoned after the witness and the evidence we got. The best choice went to the Wei Empire. The most difficult place for anyone to enter. "
