The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 184 - Statue of the Pillar
Yong Tao frowned in surprise, he drank too much wine so he could not think clearly anymore. Xin Fai repeated her words.
"We must make a move immediately, Senior Yong. I want to immediately meet Emperor Qin and move the Sacred Sword Alliance to eradicate the Demonic Blood Humans, the more we buy time they will definitely get ready with his army. We'd better attack before the news of our attack yesterday spreads."
"You seem too hasty" replied Yong Tao briefly. Xin Fai had his head in pain, if only he had not chosen to join them the current Xin Fai would have been on the battlefield to finish off those black-flow warriors.
One of the other officers replied. "It's young, I know the spirit of the child at your age is still burning, but we also need to rest. Enjoy your time while you can." The man chugged his son in one gulp.
With Xin Fai forced to sit cross-legged in the room, she still disagreed with the decision but had no choice but to wait until the bright day.
By morning Xin Fai had woken up from her sleep observing the room now filled with warriors who were fast asleep, he stepped over their bodies silently in order to get to the front of the door in order to get some fresh air.
The atmosphere in this place is quite comfortable, the smell of rain still feels strong. Some waterways are filled with murky water. People began to move as usual.
"Suddenly I was reminded of Peiyu Village.." he muttered softly, unexpectedly it turned out that Yong Tao had awakened as well and heard his words.
"Peiyu Village? What have you come from?"
Xin Fai turned to the side seeing Yong Tao stretching his muscles, he nodded.
"One day we'll go there."
"For?"
Yong Tao was facing Xin Fai. "In order to expel the Demonic Blood Man, they had already seized the place and made it the headquarters. Maybe it could be that it includes the ten great headquarters of their largest."
"Ck, they're it..." Just morning Xin Fai was already irritated again, she took a breath trying to calm herself down. There was no more talk after that, Yong Tao was busy looking forward while Xin Fai dissolved into his own thoughts.
A voice rang out in the back, it turned out that Xu Ming was calling.
"Sir, before you go eat first."
The day started to get hot, Xin Fai looked up waiting for the warriors to finish eating, under the shady tree she was sitting on a wooden bench. The wind blew slowly trying to calm the young man but his mind was already in a state of turmoil since last night.
Whether what made him this worried, he was worried about many things but not the slightest complaint came out of his lips. Yong Tao had actually repeatedly asked him to tell her the problem but Xin Fai refused.
An hour waiting for them to finally come out, Xin Fai got up from her seat preparing to leave. He looked at Xu Ming, Mei Lian and the children in the house for a short while before actually leaving and disappearing down the street.
The journey towards Renwu City was not blocked by any obstacles due to the fact that this city was one of the cities that was safe from the attack of the black flow, people passed by at a glance in his eyes. Xin Fai regained consciousness for a few seconds as she looked at the familiar sight of the city in her eyes.
Renwu City used to be very luxurious, but the attack 7 years ago destroyed many buildings in this place until more than a quarter of the city was affected. Especially the area around the White Fog Valley, the troops that Yong Tao brought did not go to the sect but rather to the heart of Renwu city where Emperor Qin was waiting.
As Yong Tao said, the Imperial Pillar statue had already begun to be built. Xin Fai looked at the third statue where the carving of a beautiful girl was plastered there, she was Xiu Juan.
Her happiness faded within a second later, overflowing in the air as she looked at the statue of a little child. Disturbing scenery. It made her want to scream.
"What the fuck?! A child statue? Cruel! I don't take this, change it! Replace the other statue!"
People in Renwu city frowned in surprise at the young man's behavior, Xin Fai was eager to transport the statue and drown it in the ravine. One of the locals tried to calm him down.
"It's young brother, I know you idolize him a lot but that man is no more. The sculptor also only saw this child when he was 10 years old..."
"Why don't you just look at my face now?"
"Are you crazy? I say once again, the statue you hold belongs to our future Imperial Pillar. Don't ever act like this again or the Fighters will catch you." The man's sweat was sharp, Yong Tao got off his horse while taking a very heavy breath.
Upon realizing the arrival of the number one swordsman the man lowered his head so respectfully. He immediately left the place for fear of mistalking.
"It is Fai'er, I will have this sculptor replace it. Take it easy, I'll take care of it tomorrow."
Xin Fai nodded slowly, she stared at the old Lan An statue as if there the young man was standing before her. It seemed that he had grown well in the Thousand Feet Squad sect. Yong Tao was staring in the same direction.
"Lan An, huh? He was the hardest hit when he found out you never came back that day from the Fog Forest."
"really? How's he doing now?"
"Just like you."
"meaning?"
"He holds a deep grudge against the Blood Devil Man, I think his personality has changed drastically since you left.. The last time I met him, he didn't smile like he used to."
Yong Tao's statement slightly struck him at the young man's state, imagining how dark Lan An's current personality was he could not bear. However this was the case, so from the very beginning Xin Fai did not want to involve anyone.
Yong Tao distracted the young man, he pulled his hand to leave the place immediately. "Let's not drag on, you're still too young to bother about things like this..."
Xin Fai laughed awkwardly in response to that, she was used to thinking about many things long ago. Otherwise, perhaps he would not have developed this fast in both his mind and strength.
"Senior Yong, may I ask where Lan An is? I want to see him soon."
"Then I dragged you around like this." Yong Tao did not explain anything else after the conversation, they arrived at a wine shop with sparkling bright lights there. Noise filled the space filled with the laughter of the warriors. In the corner there were dozens of warriors in armor clothing busy toast celebrating something.
