The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 228 - Qiang Jun Statue
The battle was over leaving a hollow feeling in the hearts of the Sacred Sword Alliance, although the heavy heart let go of Zhang Bingjie but they realized the leadership's decision was inviolable. Xin Fai definitely had a strong reason to do it all.
Once again the corpses of the enemies lying in all directions were immediately gathered at one point and burned, they did not have too much time to bury them one by one. After all the sun was starting to rise, there was still a lot for them to pursue out there. The enemies had left the nest and were looking for a new place, stalling was like letting them escape alive.
Xin Fai turned his body backwards, looking at the entire army he was carrying.
"We rest for a while, another hour the journey will continue."
"Ready, Chief!"
Daan Village is not so much different from the White Mist Valley, in this place the natural energy is so much, but the average population here is only farmers and ordinary people. But since the last few months the arrival of the Blood Devil Man disturbed the tranquility of this village, enslaving many girls and arbitrarily taking the food supplies of the people.
Xin Fai pulled his horse rope and stopped quickly before crashing into a huge, majestic statue, looking up to see the statue of Qiang Jun more clearly. His face is still so young, although it has been made hundreds of years but this statue is still sturdy indestructible.
The statue of Qiang Jun before him stood up by raising a sword against the sky, an aura of heroism felt upon seeing the statue. Xin Fai glanced towards the forehead of the statue, sparks marks were also up there.
The moment Xin Fai was stunned, she realized her daydream. The purpose of his coming to Daan Village was to ascertain the existence of the Demonic Human Sword, it was said that the sword was near Qiang Jun's tomb but he himself did not know where the exact location was.
Xin Fai wandered around the statue and could not find anything at all, he circulated a glance trying to figure out the possibility of the sword being hidden but what appeared to be just an ordinary village that had now been destroyed by the Demonic Blood Man.
"You're looking for the Devil Man Sword?"
A voice echoed in his ear, Xin Fai knew who was speaking inside that head. The Red Devil giggled for a moment making the sound he let out become extremely terrifying.
Before long the Red Devil appeared before him with a real form, the creature turned towards the statue behind and watched in silence.
"Where is the sword?" Xin Fai asked calmly, even though she already knew Red Devil was not necessarily willing to tell for this matter. Though Xin Fai was confident that he would get the sword here before, but it seemed that hope had to be dashed first.
"You think?"
"The sword is not here."
The Red Devil then smiled showing off his sharp teeth, he walked back home in front of the statue as if in thought.
"If you knew then why didn't you tell me?"
The Red Devil replied. "If I told you you wouldn't go to this place."
For a moment his interlocutor was silent as he was reluctant to answer, just seeing his expression, Xin Fai had understood but he himself was fed up with following this demon talk. The intent of his arrival and help was not necessarily good, it could be that this demon was planning something but Xin Fai had yet to obtain any evidence so far.
"Look up, at the head of the statue."
Xin Fai frowned for a while trying not to obey the creature, but her curiosity made her immediately jump up and grab an object on the forehead of Qiang Jun's statue.
"The Dry Season?" Xin Fai looked at the orange-colored stone, from the bottom saw that it was just like a spark. But when looking directly at the object is a valuable object that may be able to buy one Daan village. Unexpectedly one of the Mustika 7 Seasons was in a small village, it was possible that the arrival of the Blood Devil Man was to search for the stone.
"You-you? How do you know all this?"
"Do I have to tell him?"
Xin Fai narrowed her eyes suspiciously, she began to suspect a lot of things about the identity of this demon. So many question marks in his head made the young man confused himself, he chose to give up and simply ignored all of it.
When he refocused on his attention, Xin Fai found that the Red Devil was busy looking at Daan Village. His gaze looked different than usual, like one who had not returned to his village for a long time. Then the Red Devil was disturbed when he realized that a pair of eyes were watching his movements and he simply disappeared without saying anything.
'This Red Devil... Who is he really?' Xin Fai could only contend. He whistled calling his horse that was busy drinking water, as the horse came Xin Fai immediately boarded and spurred the horse quickly back to where the Sacred Sword Alliance was resting.
The night came so fast, the group stopped moving after a 6-hour drive. While the members are busy chatting Xin Fai secluded themselves by climbing into the branches of a tall tree. He read the book and ate the electric eel in turns, while continuing to think about where the Demonic Human Sword must have been.
Supposedly if it had found the location of the sword, the Celestial Emperor Sword would have also obtained it. However it seemed that obtaining the sky heirloom sword could not be that easy, already thousands of people tried to look for it but none of them managed to obtain those two swords after Qiang Jun's death.
"Tomb Qiang Jun, huh? But where is it?" tanyanya took a long breath. "In Daan Village there is none, whereas Qiang Jun is said to have been born in this place. So exactly where was Qiang Jun buried?"
Arriving at the last question Xin Fai made a dead end again and again, the young man laid his body on a tree trunk then stared at the crescent moon above him. The color is so dim because it is blocked by thin clouds.
"I don't have much information about Qiang Jun, how can I look for clues with this little information?" it is with the hands folded under the head. Still trying to find answers along with the atmosphere of a quiet night.
Instead of continuing to dissolve in the deadlock Xin Fai returned in a sitting position and took out a fairly worn-out book. The book had long since been unwrapped after some time just studying the Forbidden Book with the Red Devils.
The Book of Seven Keys shone brightly as it had appeared in his hands, Xin Fai noticed the greenish radiance shining brightly from the book. It floated for a while in the air, each sheet opened so quickly and at the same time the spirit energy began to feel.
The voices of the Sacred Sword Alliance warriors sounded, they screamed not far from him. Xin Fai came down from the tree immediately and chased after them, as her steps arrived at the bonfire it turned out that the figure of the white-bearded man with a wooden stick had been waiting for her. He is Kaibo.
