The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
Related to the Survival of Treasure Lanterns

The masked man only stared for a moment at the wound in the hand area around his shoulder, the sword incision marks deep enough to have been seen there made the man question who exactly he was fighting.

The masked man seemed to have realized from just one exchange of attacks, that Hao Zhao was not as easy to deal with. Hao Zhao seemed to have taken into account where his sword would lead as well as what sword Hao Zhao was holding would succeed in hitting its target or not, making things so difficult for the masked man.

A young swordsman who already has such sharp analytical skills in combat would be completely abnormal, where the masked man himself is not even sure he can do the same when fighting.

“Haha, you are very talented for a young generation."The masked man laughed quite loudly, before walking over to Hao Zhao to stand right before him.

Hao Zhao did not move the slightest bit from where he was standing, silent to wait to do what else the masked man wanted to do.

“You've lost, don't you accept?" Hao Zhao asked coldly, not at all objecting to having to exchange attacks once more or even fight to the death even against the man.

Where the reason Hao Zhao was not the first to do so was due to the fact that the masked man must still have some connection to the empire. Although the armor that the two imperial soldiers wore before was not worn by the iron masked man, it was, the fact that the masked man looked furious after seeing the two imperial soldiers fall earlier was obvious according to Hao Zhao.

If it was like that, killing the masked man was the same as Hao Zhao who was looking for trouble for the empire and Hao Zhao was not ready for it yet. Unlikely perhaps if the masked man was the one who first started it all, Hao Zhao did not mind even having to kill him vilely though.

Hao Zhao only raised his eyebrows when the masked man suddenly patted his shoulder, questioning what his next move was that the man wanted to do.

“Child, listen to me. Don't think it's over, because you've dared to offend the Iron Mask with your arrogant attitude." The masked man said the origin of his group so proudly.

“Iron Mask? Is that where a group of people like you are?" Hao Zhao raised his eyebrows.

“True, Selected people like me. You should be prepared to face me as well as the Iron Mask if you once again dare to offend people from the empire like this." The masked man with his hands slowly began to tightly grip Hao Zhao's shoulders.

Hao Zhao realized that immediately grinned, before dismissing the hand grip of the masked man easily before it was out of nowhere to successfully point the blade of his sword at the masked man.

“Does this mean you're ready to fight to the death with me?" Hao Zhao raised his eyebrows, his sword had slowly been pressed towards the masked man's neck making blood flow from there.

“What happened? Young Master Zhao, please stop what you're doing." Yue Yie had just walked out of her room when she saw all of that, immediately approaching Hao Zhao to calm her down.

Yue Yie regretted not immediately knowing all the things that happened before, because her mind was filled with other things making her not focus on the chaos there.

Yue Yie turned to the two imperial soldiers who had now been lying on the floor, before turning to the masked man who seemed to be able to lose his life at any moment under Hao Zhao's sword.

Yue Yie immediately looked at Hao Zhao in silence, wanting to ask why it could all happen even though she chose to be silent and did not dare to ask.

“Young Master Zhao, can you put down your sword first?" Yue Yie looked at Hao Zhao expectantly.

Hao Zhao heard Yue Yie's request in the end could only comply. Sighing deeply, Hao Zhao tried to suppress his will to finish off the masked man who was already so big.

“Hmphh, don't think everything will end just like that. I will always remember all the ill-treatment of Treasure Lanterns today." The masked man seemed annoyed, before originally pulling each leg of two imperial warriors who had not yet realized to leave from there.

“Young Master Zhao, stop. Don't respond to it too much." Yue Yie while the masked man was also two imperial soldiers had left from there.

Staring at Yue Yie fixedly, immediately Hao Zhao asked the reason Yue Yie asked her to take off those annoying people.

“I'm sorry Young Master Zhao, but offending them is not a good thing for us. I can explain more details to you the reason for that, for now please enter first." Yue Yie allowed Hao Zhao to step into her room.

Hao Zhao as well Yue Yie himself was already sitting face to face by the table in front of them, where Hao Zhao was already waiting in case what Yue Yie wanted to tell him.

“Now, can you explain? As to who the three men were and why did the look on the faces of every worker here become so bad because of their arrival?" Hao Zhao when Yue Yie was just speechless, seemed hesitant to deliver.

“Sure Young Master Zhao, hope you will listen ...."

Yue Yie finally exposed all the things that were still related to the arrival of the three people there, where it still has something to do with the incident this morning related to the discovery of Gang Dalam also the guards in lifeless condition.

The Empire was not aware of that, where the masked man with his entourage just by chance just wanted to stop in the city of Dahan Gutur to rest after a long trip.

It just so happened to them, when their arrival coincided with what happened to the Dalan Gang that the masked man clearly immediately launched an investigation into the incident.

In the city of Dahan Gugur who has the strength and courage big enough to finish off the Dalan Gang is only the Treasure Lantern, where because of this masked man made the Treasure Lantern as the most suspected of being the main perpetrator.

“I've tried to refute it all before, but they still seem to refuse to believe. Now knowing that I know you who dare to oppose them, it could actually make them corner us even more," said Yue Yie quite limp.

“What untrue accusations can be used to incriminate Treasure Lantern?" Hao Zhao who knows the facts clearly if it is not the Treasure Lantern is the mastermind but him.

“The empire has a huge influence on this continent, what they do is either true or not necessarily no one will dare to question it," Yue Yie did not dare to think it would be made as bad as what Treasure Lantern if it were to become the target of the empire.

Hao Zhao only nodded in understanding afterwards, already knowing that the Treasure Lantern was still quite new on the continent so of course a little misunderstanding could be a big threat to them.

“I apologize if what I did earlier could incriminate the development of the Treasure Lantern." Hao Zhao with seriousness, did not think his attitude was acceptable because it concerned the continued existence of the Treasure Lantern in the future.

“No Young Master Zhao, it's not your fault because you don't know who they are. There's no need to worry too much either because I'll send my teacher a message soon regarding this matter, maybe he can clear up all the misunderstandings involving the Treasure Lantern on the empire."

Yue Yie also explained that Yang Gao happened to be traveling to the capital, where it would be easier to communicate with the emperor directly there.

“Good then, I don't have to worry that some of my shares in Treasure Lantern will be in vain in the future." Hao Zhao with a sigh of relief.

Yue Yie heard it was obviously shocked, looking at Hao Zhao in disbelief as Yue Yie did not expect that Hao Zhao's concern for the Treasure Lantern was based on only a portion of his shares.

“What's up?" Hao Zhao with a flat face, did not feel anything wrong with what he had just said.
