The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 228 - Six Hosts
The rescue mission was successfully carried out, much easier than Xin Fai thought because from the report this mission might be included in the dangerous mission. Three soldiers with them led the young children and two women to safety to be transferred to Cloud Protection.
Xin Fai raised her head as she sensed the presence of a bird near them, sure enough that the bird flew up and landed nimble in Xin Fai's hands. The man muttered in shock, "This is Hong Tian's delivery bird. Has he found the enemy base?"
"What's wrong?"
Xin Chen tried to look at the inscriptions and symbols that should only be understood by the special fighters of the Shang Empire.
There Tao Gui Xiang explained briefly and concisely, the location of the enemy and some of the information he got. He planned to hold a secret meeting first. But the impossible conditions forced them to move immediately.
"If not now then they will change headquarters before tomorrow evening." Xin Chen read the last sentence.
"Night Wolf ... We finally got them."
Xin Fai knew very well how dangerous Night Wolves were, the group had even targeted the large families in the Shang Empire. Families of fighters even descendants of higher-ups were affected. Luckily Emperor Qin was in extra custody so infiltration was difficult.
"Killing them could stop the thousands of big problems that would appear in front. Chen'er, are you ready?"
Xin Chen smiled. Take out a headband and tie it tightly to his head.
Tie the head Number One. It had been a long time since Xin Fai had last seen such a precious headband to her and it turned out that Xin Chen had still kept it until this second.
"I'm ready anytime."
"It's just dad's son, we'll meet them under the bridge of Tang city."
"Sister Zhan will be there too?"
"Given that there's a lot of business to be done in Cloud Protection it's very likely that he won't be here. And also Emperor Qin needed a Pillar that stayed there just in case."
"I understand."
With the Steel Phoenix Sword on his left, Xin Chen climbed up a mound of high ground. Xin Fai chuckled little looking at the child.
Recalling the time he trained the little boy who was not even to his knees, Xin Chen also stood on a tall rock and shouted, "I will become the Imperial Pillar like a father!"
Xin Fai waited for what Xin Chen would say now.
"I ..."
Still waiting, Xin Fai was able to see the little boy who yesterday dreamed of becoming an Imperial Pillar had changed a lot. It felt so fast that time passed, everything changed very quickly.
"I just want to restore peace in this world and keep it as long as possible."
The black robe with the stitching of the Xin clan emblem behind it fluttered on the broomstick, Xin Fai knew Ren Yuan made it wholeheartedly. The boy immediately wore it. His head was flying with the wind.
He could see himself inside Xin Chen's body.
"A good spirit. Let's go."

A headquarters stood at its most hidden spot, located under the hills facing directly towards the beach. The weather there is very strange, the air carries a deadly poison that can kill at any time. The sky was greenish, even when rainwater dripped it also carried poison. Wetting streets, dead objects and trees that begin to wither.
Heavy iron barrels lined the entire length of the headquarters, the number may reach 800 units, almost five large buildings were built, underground there are still many stocks that will be distributed to the outside of the Empire. The place was not guarded at all by croco-kroco or even built iron wire fence.
It is open and can enter anyone.
"What if we all end up here?"
Indirectly Yue Huanran hurt the hearts of the other Imperial Pillars, he was indeed famous for his slick mouth. Yue Ling'er who had reached 350 years of age interrupted, "You underestimated our strength?"
"We are talking about the worst possible," added Tao Gui Xiang reinforcing Yue Huanran's argument. "If we all end up here then Emperor Qin and the Shang Empire will be in danger. Right now who was at Cloud Protection was only the Second Pillar, Xin Zhan. The rest are just generals and Head Warriors."
Xin Chen recalled his conversation with Emperor Qin.
"Surely I have measured how much they are and weighed this decision carefully, I know this is risky but ..."
At that moment Emperor Qin's face looked extremely complicated. He took the toughest decision, sending the Imperial Pillar to finish off the Night Wolf because he knew the source of the spread of this virus was mostly played by the group.
"I have some information about them. It will be very useful for you. Although this is like a gamble yet I believe in you, the Imperial Pillars. If an unexpected situation were to occur then I would look for a candidate to be made the Pillar of the Empire temporarily."
Emperor Qin swooped his brows, staring at Xin Chen deeply. Xin Chen even still vividly remembered Emperor Qin's face when saying so.
"Kill them and make sure the base burns to the core of the earth."
Tao Gui Xiang as the Lotus Temple Master must have gone through many similar critical situations, he let out his opinion again, making Xin Chen wake up from his daydream.
"And this fight will probably take a long time. From the information given by Emperor Qin, you should have measured their strength yourself. One person alone is equivalent to the strength of our two Imperial Pillars. And they're six.. It's gonna be a tough fight." The man in charge of probing the information of the Night Wolf alone until pessimistic like that.
After a few minutes of discussion and strategizing, the two Lian brothers finally came with a woman whose face was so fiercely staring at Xin Chen.
Xiu Qiaofeng, who else. His hands clenched as if about to punch, he briefly asked as he passed in front of Xin Chen, "You left a girl in the treatment room and Madam Ren who took the responsibility of treating her. May I know who he is?"
Xin Chen did not understand the meaning of that gaze, he answered accordingly. "Not enemies. Just relax."
The girl doesn't seem to like it. "For me now he is my enemy" he murmured very little. Xin Chen did not have time to hear it as it focused on Tao Gui Xiang's speech. Lian Ning was so excited when she saw Xin Chen there.
"Yoo! How are you guys?"
"Oh, Lian Ning's. You'd better listen to Tao Gui Xiang's instructions, enemy base not far from here, we can't be rash."
"What needs to be negotiated, don't we just have to attack them?"
Lian Ning suddenly took action on her own by walking in the front headquarters of the enemy. Tao Gui Xiang closed his eyes, a sudden headache.
Lian Ning was indeed famous for her carelessness. Just now, he had already stepped on a mine that from a distance released a bulkhead over the high hills. A few large rocks rolled rapidly towards him, the young man ran away frantically half-dead.
"Aaaaaaaa shit newu also a few seconds up!"
The first trap was inviting commotion. Explosion after explosion rang out, Lian Ning was in danger. Xin Fai immediately stepped up and dodged the various traps he had barely stepped on. He dragged Lian Ning immediately to safety until the last explosion erupted. Dozens of small knives were thrown and stuck on the ground where Lian Ning sat.
"How can a man like him be put on a mission like this." Xin Chen involuntarily muttered, indeed Lian Ning has potential in terms of strength. But in another sense Xin Chen doubted whether the young man's brain was still well-attached or had at times shifted to his embrace.
"He is indeed the most careless Pillar, but also the luckiest Pillar." Zian Ning beside him added even though he himself was embarrassed to see his brother's behavior.
"He has completed dozens of dangerous missions in his own way. Don't underestimate brother Lian."
"I don't underestimate him" Xin Chen said with a meaningful grin.
Xin Fai was startled as one more brat came out of the bushes and started doing stupid things like Lian Ning did. Zian Ning was stunned to see Xin Chen come out of hiding while saying, "I actually like his way! But don't take it that way!"
