The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 196 - The Uninhabited City
The flames of war had long since been extinguished, leaving behind thick ash and fog that continued to shade Renwu City. There is no more human life there, among the cruel Keabadiann Fire that continues to burn the land of the city.
In the past few years the place had turned into an actual sea of fire, the heat on the ground would kill anyone walking on it.
Except, just on one thing.
If the Fire of Eternity has become the blood that flows within a person then that power will suspend his master more than anything else. Without having to eat, or drink, that power would strengthen his master's body to far exceed the abilities of an ordinary human body.
At the end of each year in Renwu City which had become an uninhabited land, there was the sound of a melodious flute that was so heartbreaking. The rhythms of sadness, despair and regret can be felt with just a voice. The same month when war broke out in the birthplace of the flute player, the month when he was born in the world. And wonder if he was indeed born to swallow suffering.
Seven years, without ever talking to another human being and only befriending the sea, wind, sky and also the wasteland. And then sometimes disappear from there for months.
His limits were completely depleted, his body needed nutrients to stay alive. But what can you get in this place. No more migratory birds passing by, the fish on the seabed have become extinct because they cannot tolerate the hot temperatures below that depth. While there were never more ships coming, at least he could steal a bit of their supplies secretly.
Seeing survive in this City would no longer be possible finally the figure came out of his residence. With a black robe that he had once kept while wandering with the Thunder Fox, standing on a fortress tower that was very sturdy and powerful could survive the Fire of Eternity because of its thickness.
He leaped down so that the black robe he was wearing waved swept away by the wind, a little walked the young man as he finally arrived at a statue that stood so firm and undaunted by the fire that burned it; The first Imperial Pillar statue with a fractured neck, the statue was split seven years ago in battle.
The young man crouched down with one leg, bowing his head with such great respect, whispering something with his voice that was just whispering.
Then, in a few minutes he turned around and said, "I will definitely help you. Promise to live."
The wind blew, as if grieving ushered in the departure of the only human occupant in their place
A Black Dragon that had lost its name lowered its head deeply when it saw the figure go towards the edge of the beach filled with smog. He wanted to catch up with the young man but unfortunately his footsteps were too trembling even if only to move a meter.

Ren Yuan chased after the figure, he disappeared right in the grounds. No longer could he see where the young man was going, his body was taller than Xin Zhan and there was nothing else Ren Yuan could see besides. A faint hiss rang out from Xin Zhan's room, Ren Yuan looked at his son who had just regained consciousness with tears in his eyes.
That figure saved Xin Zhan's life, Ren Yuan was sure the figure was the same person as the one who brought Xin Zhan back to Fanlu City. Early in the morning security in Fanlu City was tightened to such an extent that almost as long as the road was flooded with city guards. There was a shock again in the port city.
And again the residents were made half-dead by the sight of Xin Zhan coming out of the house. Even they were agape, as if they had just seen a demon in the morning blind.
Xin Zhan smiled bitterly, "I'm fine."
"But, Young Master ... Wasn't that day you" The man could not continue his sentence. She was stunned for a while, until Xin Zhan's gaze calmed the man down.
"Mother saved me, that's all I can tell you."
For a moment the old man was stunned yet to finally understand, the strict supervision in Fanlu City this time was moved directly by the third Imperial Pillar, which had not yet been revealed, without further ado, a search was immediately conducted for a young man wearing a black robe. Aside from these features, nothing can be described by other eyewitnesses.
Lan An walked around the connection of Fanlu City with the opposite city, the sun had crawled up but he never found a figure who was said to have a high level Illusion Science. Absolutely not felt the presence of gripping, ordinary for a black swordsman who has a high level of knowledge and techniques, then the existence of the figure will be three times more gripping than ordinary warriors.
Such people are also offered a curse, such as the Book of Spirit Controllers, bound by a contract with the spirits in the book that means having to give up the original body to be taken by them.
The state of Fanlu City was overcrowded, with city guards and warriors all over the store making the man repeatedly catch his breath. It seemed that this quest was just a waste, the glance of which Ren Yuan walked in front of the tavern. Like looking for someone, his head repeatedly looked up and sometimes peeked at the wine shops. One of the tavern servants questioned him about who Ren Yuan was looking for.
Seeing that conversation Lan An walked up to Ren Yuan, putting on a strange look.
"Mrs Ren, what brings you out looking? Maybe I can help you find that guy?" bargaining, reading the unease on Ren Yuan's face.
Ren Yuan who had just realized his presence fell silent for a while before saying, "The cloaked person who came in the middle of the night to this City. I have to see him."
Lan An was puzzled, Ren Yuan had no obligation over the mysterious person's case. Ren Yuan himself had long since left the martial world and had only become a medicine concocter. Engaging with that dangerous figure according to Lan An would only endanger Ren Yuan's life.
"Let us handle it, Mrs Ren. It may take a while, you should rest first. Xin Zhan too, tell her not to push herself too much."
Ren Yuan took a deep breath, he slightly bowed and said nothing more. Passing out from before Lan An, may Lan An's words be true. Searching for that figure was the duty of the city guards, yet Ren Yuan was anxious to ascertain whether the figure was as true as he had expected or not.
