The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 174 - The Unbeatable Soul
Xiang Yi Bai unexpectedly immediately shook his head. "I can't guarantee he's safe or not. We want to hunt down a criminal instead of being the personal bodyguard of this boy. If you don't mind, why don't you tell him to stay here? Just tell me the location, we'll be there soon," Xiang Yi Bai replied sniffling and straight to the point. Hua Du fell silent and looked slowly at his grandson.
Hua Lian looked irritated and instantly rose in blood. "What did you say?!" Without hesitation the man forgot his manners and pulled the collar of Xiang Yi Bai's clothes. Xue Zhan jerked his hand against Hua Lian's wrist so that the grip slipped off.
"Consider your attitude," Xue Zhan recalled sharply.
Instantly the mood changed. Hua Du closed his eyes at a loss for words. "He's right. Calm yourself, Hua Lian."
"I've been waiting for this day for years to avenge the deaths of my parents. I'm on this trip. Life or death is none of your business!" firmly loud.
After the conversation, Hua Du was forced to allow her granddaughter to come along with a restless heart. Xue Zhan and Xiang Yi Bai agreed to bring Hua Lian to look for Yue Linghe. They are welcome to stay overnight at Bukit Emas college.
The night is getting late at the Golden Hill college. Xue Zhan was enjoying the cool night breeze while looking around. The sky that night was so bright. The stars twinkled over their heads, like scattered sand.
The sound of a strong wind blowing on the roof of the college, hit the leaves of the trees that swayed slowly. Perhaps it would rain tomorrow morning, Xue Zhan was used to predicting the weather by feeling the temperature and air around him since living in the Regret Precipice.
There was the sound of fine gravel under Hua Lian's feet practicing in the middle of the courtyard. In the darkness, the light of the lanterns hanging above the pond looked like stars reflected in the water. The bird statue around the pond was clearly visible, combined with the shadow of the tree beside it, creating a beautiful night atmosphere.
Xue Zhan was still sitting on top looking at the twinkling night sky while killing his sense of boredom. He could not sleep at all due to worrying about many things.
Lanterns and candles on display around the college make the atmosphere more beautiful and warm. However, Xue Zhan was still piqued by what they were about to face in the future, this was the first time he faced an extremely dangerous enemy more than the founder of the Ghost Jade Tower. If said, the Ghost Jade Tower was only a pebble and the Purple Centipede was a huge stone that had existed for decades ago with a stronger force than any other black stream group.
Xue Zhan sharpened his vision to see Hua Lian sharpening a sword from an open window, he looked so ambitious as to kill Yue Linghe.
Before long the man went out into the courtyard and trained in a field quite far from his place.
Xue Zhan's footsteps slowly began to descend from the roof and towards that place. As it approached, he could feel an extremely powerful and fiery killing aura. It made him even more unable to breathe calmly.
"Are you sure you can beat him?" xue Zhan asked in pleasantries, without waiting for long Hua Lian replied.
"definitely. I will make him die miserably, I have prepared myself as best I can, and swear to both my parents and to the sky that this will not be in vain" Hua Lian replied without turning her head towards him.
Xue Zhan could feel the strong determination and spirit of Hua Lian. But he was also worried. What would happen if Hua Lian failed in her mission? He was afraid that the Golden Hill college would become a victim to the actions of the Purple Centipede. However, she also could not resist Hua Lian's coercion to follow them in search of the Ice Flower Grail and Yue Linghe.
He was also on his way to find out the cause of his own death. But Xue Zhan was unwilling to say so, Hua Lian would definitely be confused and ask how she could rise from the grave and find out the culprits of her own assassins.
Hua Lian then nodded and understood their intentions. He then informed her that Yue Linghe was last seen being in a remote area in the Yellow Bamboo forest. He also reminded Xue Zhan and Xiang Yi Bai of the dangers they would face when facing the Purple Centipede members.
Hua Lian flicked her sword with great energy. Xue Zhan saw that there was a name engraving there and had asked Hua Lian about the meaning of the carving. It turned out that the name engraved on the sword was the name of his mother, who was also a famous swordsman in the Golden Hill college.
That night Hua Lian began to tell the story of her mother who was so great in the world of swords. His father gave the sword as a gift to his mother, and he was very proud to see his mother use it. So for Hua Lian, the sword meant a lot. However, when the Purple Centipede attacked the Golden Hill college, his mother along with his father were killed that night.
Clearly, Hua Lian's goal was to regain the Ice Flower Grail that was the legacy of her family's ancestor and avenge the deaths of her two parents, whereas Xue Zhan and Xiang Yi Bai wanted to find information about the Purple Centipede and Yue Linghe. They were in a favorable deal but Xue Zhan could not calm down tonight.
Hua Lian continued to look at him making Xue Zhan astonished.
"Is there anything you want to say, Hua Lian?" tanyanya.
Hua Lian was silent for a moment before finally opening her mouth. "I'm sorry about my attitude towards your teacher. Sometimes I can't control my emotions and like to act. I just wanted to say thank you" he said.
"Actually I was a little scared of your Master, he had a terrible air and I'm sure he could be comparable to Yue Linghe. Your teacher was not at all afraid when my Grandfather told me how great that person was. Out of fear for her I decided to talk to you even though my way was wrong. I thought you'd be mad like most people. Turns out you're a pretty good person" he said.
Xue Zhan smiled. "No need to thank Brother Lian."
Hua Lian interrupted. "But I'm very grateful. It's the first time in my life I've had the chance to get this revenge. You are not only a friend, but also a very strong swordsman. I'm gobsmacked by your enormous power." He began to bring back the moment they clashed boxing in the city with enthusiasm.
Xue Zhan smiled, "you're also very strong, I'm sure your training is so strenuous that it can get to this point." Complimentary back.
Hua Lian looked a little tired.
"You're not sleepy? Go to sleep, you look really tired" Xue Zhan said.
"Actually I want to train again, but tomorrow's trip takes a lot of effort. I need to rest. You too, go inside."
"I'll catch up."
