The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 274 - The Resurrection Lang
Xin Fai and Ren Yuan were just about to leave the room after a long debate, the atmosphere slowly began to be peaceful as usual but not with the face of the figure of the third Imperial Pillar named Xiu Juan. He continued to look at the shadows of the two people who were walking like he wanted to convey something.
Lan An who was sitting next to Xiu Juan raised his eyebrows. "Do you think you want to talk to the kid?"
Xiu Juan gasped in shock upon seeing Lan An, the young man had indeed known him for a very long time. Long before Xin Fai returned to the White Fog Valley, Lan An and she had always been placed on the same mission. Little did Lan An know what Xiu Juan was feeling.
"Ren Yuan's... He's very brave, says whatever he wants to say, and I..." Xiu Juan slowly lowered his head reluctantly to continue speaking. Lan An smiled slightly.
"You want to tell her something?"
"I said it when we met" said Xiu Juan. He recalled his encounter with Xin Fai during the second White Fog Valley assault incident.
"So now?"
Xiu Juan threw his gaze towards Xin Fai who had disappeared at the end of the road. "I just want to say carefully on the road, that's all."

Then the tares along the road became very crowded like never before, this time Xin Fai could not break through the road because it had been crowded by the visitors.
Some who recognized his face greeted him many times while calling out his name. The screams were inevitable and Xin Fai ended up having to be stuck in one place serving people.
Upon arrival at the end of the road Xin Fai could not find Ren Yuan behind him. Then the young man swept his gaze across the entire corner.
"Ck, I'd better leave it alone." He only muttered but could still be heard by the girl who had just caught up with him.
"Leave who?"
"You're slow as a turtle, then I'll leave you."
Ren Yuan puffed his cheeks. "That's because your legs are longer, your steps are very fast like people being chased by demons."
Xin Fai did not pierce those words, she turned the look of her eyes towards his front. It felt a hint of doubt in his heart as he recalled the Thunder Fox Demon within the wilderness he was about to enter.
At any rate, he had not been able to keep his promise to regain the life gem of the Lightning Fox that the Ice Ruler Demon had captured.
"Where are we going, by the way?"
"The Fog Forest." Xin Fai answered flatly. While Ren Yuan was shocked to great lengths, he was sure that his ears were misheard. The name of the Fog Forest is terrible, thousands of dead bodies rotting in the forest of death.
"You-you...."
"Mistakenly asked to come along, I told you this trip was dangerous. I'm not sure the Lightning Fox will let you in there even if I ask for it."
Ren Yuan swallowed his saliva roughly. "Thunder Fox? Is he the guy you're gonna meet?"
"He's just a non-human demon, indeed his mouth is no less annoying than a human mouth but still he is a Sky Ruler Demon."
Originally Ren Yuan was curious about the figure that Xin Fai would meet but after hearing the name of the Lightning Fox he began to hesitate to continue to come along.
"There's still time to go back, I'm not forcing you to go to the Mist Forest."
The response that Ren Yuan got was very sad, Xin Fai just shook his shoulders with a tired face, he left him to go into the wilderness. Hope the girl does not protest much during the trip later.
The leaves grew lush, snake stealth scales were seen along the Mist Forest he had long left behind. Ren Yuan held onto the tip of Xin Fai's shirt while looking right-left. Strange sounds are very scary. No matter where the sound came from, they must be a demon that can eat humans in one chew
Xin Fai was a little confused while searching for the cave where the Lightning Fox lived first, fortunately the lake lord crocodile immediately delivered it. Not much had changed from that place, just that the atmosphere had become quieter.
Ren Yuan observed the flow of the river filled with electric eels, he was stunned to see hundreds of animals wriggling in the water considering the price of one tail alone was already very expensive.
As Ren Yuan crouched down to be able to see more clearly the Thunder Foxes came following, shaking the girl's hand so as not to touch the electric eels.
"Who are you?"
Ren Yuan took a few steps back. Xin Fai looked at the old Lightning Fox, only this time he saw the fox's appearance directly because he could only feel its power so great before.
"You're getting older, Fox."
The Lightning Fox thrust its gaze towards Xin Fai, slightly recalling and finally knowing who the young man was. But there was no look of pleasure on his face.
"Why bring others to this place?"
Xin Fai gulped in fear of being exposed to the scolding of this Thunder Fox. He already knew full well the Lightning Fox would not be happy for a stranger to come to his house.
"Please calm down, Uncle Fox, he won't trouble you in the future."
"Knowing this place was tantamount to leaking information, he could just say it to others and the Fog Forest would end up in human hands. You should have known the demons lived here, in your hands we could have sold for a high price."
Xin Fai glanced at the resigned side. "try explaining to her, I'm the laziest to argue with her."
Ren Yuan ventured as he stepped his feet closer to the Lightning Fox. "I'm just here to accompany her."
Instead of making a good atmosphere, the words even more upset the Lightning Fox. Xin Fai took a heavy breath, somehow Ren Yuan trapped him in a difficult situation like this. Just meeting the Lightning Fox alone he had been troubled how to meet the Water Ruler Demon that was ten times more sinister later.
"Uncle Fox, I didn't come here to argue. After all, he has already gone to this place, if he really makes trouble in the future I myself will teach him a lesson."
The Lightning Fox ignored the advice, she turned to the stream where the electric eel breed.
Xin Fai took out seven mustika from void space, the instant the power of the 7 Mustika was felt, making the Lightning Fox unwillingly look back.
"You got it?"
"Yes, so can I raise him right away?"
A moment the Thunder Fox changed the subject. "Then what about your promise?"
"I'll do it after this." Knowing the Lightning Fox would disagree he immediately explained in more detail. "I'll be at war soon and onward to meet the Ice Demon Lord, if it doesn't resurrect Lang now I'm not sure I still have the life to see him alive again..."
