The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 44: Rose Organization

Yang Jian was still at war with his own thoughts since this afternoon, his usually bright facial water was a little pale. It might be the effect of the burden of his mind or the seal in the constantly turbulent heavenly world trying to absorb Yang Jian's qi and life energy. Or maybe because of both.

He had already talked about his departure towards Elder Shing where he would leave the Cloud Dragon Sect the next day when he had the tournament live.

But the problem was, how to leave Chang An and the others without causing any problems that would make it difficult for Yang Jian to travel as fast as possible.

Yang Jian felt uneasy leaving Chang An behind secretly, although Elder Shing had promised to make Yang Jian's departure real without causing any trouble yet it was another story for Chang An's teacher. He deserved to know everything from Yang Jian's own mouth.

But if the saying goes before leaving, Yang Jian could make sure a hundred or even a thousand percent. Chang An would not accept any reason to allow Yang Jian to leave without leaking the secrets of the heavenly world. And it was not an option that Yang Jian could take right now.

"Yourf..." Yang Jian sighed deeply, he was really confused. "Am I leaving tonight? That would reduce the risk of people seeing me go." Yang Jian muttered to himself.

"You still have the chance to meet your teacher whenever you want if your life is still in your body." The dragon's words immediately made Yang Jian aware of the condition of his body that continued to decline.

"This time you're right, I can't underestimate my condition. Because it has to do with my life." Yang Jian finally decided to leave when the night was already very late when everyone was already adventuring inside their respective fantasy worlds.

A bright morning greeted the Cloud Dragon Sect again, the tournament hall seemed to have been filled with cultivators who had been sitting neatly in their respective seats.

It looks like the three judges who previously refereed the match have also occupied their respective positions. But the game has not started yet because the time of the game is still long in the beginning.

Unlike the representatives of the Jade Stone Sect, there seemed to be a new person filling the two previously empty seats, they were Elder Shing and the female elder who had followed him since arriving at the Cloud Dragon Sect.

However, the concern was not Elder Shing. But Elder Chang and Elder Han Li were constantly staring towards the room where the tournament participants were. It was clear from the look on their faces of overwhelming worry and unease. Chang An was a little pale.

"I told you, Yang Jian is fine. He had an important duty from the patriarch so he left first. You don't have to overdo it as if your students are gone forever." Elder Shing who noticed Chang An's movements earlier finally opened his voice.

This morning when he had just woken up from his sleep, Elder Shing had met the tournament organizers that one of their students had withdrawn from the tournament on the grounds of an emergency mission from their patriarch.

This reason was indeed a little difficult to accept given that cultivators as young as Yang Jian had already been on emergency missions ruled directly by the patriarch. Moreover, the judges had seen for themselves the mysteriousness of Yang Jian's prowess, they deeply regretted Yang Jian's setback from the tournament.

However the Young Cultivator Tournament was not a tied tournament, so there were no specific rules regarding the participants who withdrew.

"This is patriarch Feng's order, if you mind you can ask the patriarch when we return to the sect." Elder Shing said without turning his head towards Chang An.

Chang An clenched his hands firmly under the chair, he was not that naive to directly believe Elder Shing's words. On anyone's appeal he clearly knows better how cunning the elder.

"I can't say 'everything will be fine' at the moment, but trust me I will help you to figure this out completely. Yang Jian, he was like a weed that would still grow even if it was stepped on." Han Li tried to calm Chang An down when he saw that his best friend's face was already red.

"Yang Jian was not the type of person who would take action without any strong reason behind it all. I believe him." Chang An's tone of voice was bitter, seeming he was holding back a lot of turbulent taste in his chest. It may be anger, fear, disappointment, hurt or a combination of all of those.

Leaving a tournament he didn't know about eventually. Who was the winner of the cultivator tournament this season, Yang Jian finally arrived in front of a towering gate, after many hours of traveling from the Cloud Dragon Sect, to the end, now Yang Jian had reached his first destination. The Rose Organization.

The sturdy and high walls are equipped with carvings of red roses, red as blood. Each side of the wall has sharp thorns.

However, what is more interesting is the invisible protector with high strength that surrounds the wall. It is clear that the protector is not an arbitrary protector.

But there was one thing that made Yang Jian frown. No guards or guards?

This is strange, this large organization is indeed strange and unique at the same time.

Not wanting to think much, Yang Jian tried to browse through the wall to look for the entrance. Yang Jian realized his mistake, he did not figure out how to use the services of the Rose Flower Organization in more detail.

'Track...'

Suddenly two people wearing the same robe with orange rose petals. Yang Jian remembered about the colors of each petal that the members of the Rose Flower Organization had. Oren is the third tier of the organization.

The appearance of the two robed men made Yang Jian gasp in shock, because Yang Jian did not feel anyone's presence before his appearance.

~~

Yang Jian and the two men who met Yang Jian entered the portal that became the entrance of the organization, even though Yang Jian had already gotten information about this organization, but when he saw firsthand it felt different. Yang Jian was unceasingly amazed at the mysteriousness of the Rose Flower Organization.

It was only fitting that Yang Jian had trouble finding the entrance of the organization wall, it was because there was a special portal that was the link outside the wall into the organization that only members of the organization could use.

A short while later Yang Jian had arrived inside a room like a basement with walls still carved with roses.

"Follow us!" one of the men leading Yang Jian led him into a room that read 'Service Petals'.
