The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 225 - A New Era Begins
At night the residence of Chang Wei and Ho Xiuhan was filled with dozens of men, most of them wearing seedy clothes. The other half were mail couriers, merchants and fortress guards. They have not been told anything about why they were all gathered.
Chang Wei had yet to return home from the temple, Ho Xiuhan had been waiting for a long time and his friends started to protest. Some of them have to go back to work.
"Ah, stop! Just wasting my time. I could've fired my employer I came home first, I'm sorry."
"Hi, what are you after. Married not yet, nothing you saw at home. Come back here before I stick your face in sandals!" ho Xiuhan's chattering, hot as well as his ears heard the others blabbering. Until finally two people came to their place, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've gathered them-"
The man drew the sword. Right to Ho Xiuhan's neck.
Then his other friends were on standby, most of them did not carry swords because they were no longer warriors. Ho XXiuhana gasped, that person was neither Xin Chen nor Shui. But the new mayor's envoy in Fanlu City.
"What's the former Sacred Sword Alliance suddenly gathering members?" The whisper of the voice was heard denouncing, Ho Xiuhan ta thought their closed meeting sounded in the mayor's ears. The man spit to the side.
"Oh, why? Want to take money from us? Government people are not full of enriching themselves. It's chic!"
"So your bullshit, anj*ng wild!"
Ho Xiuhan's stomach was kicked with a knee, he retreated. Laughing obliquely, "Look at your step, someone has returned to destroy your rot. Just wait for the play date, boy!"
Ho Xiuhan was immediately chained up, Fanlu City which was currently so avoiding fighting and bloodshed, as long as a suspicious movement would be immediately cracked down. It made Ho Xiehan sick."
"Wild anj*ng men would not dare to attack if their leader alone could not protect himself." The sentence made the blood on Ho Xiehan's head boil, he puffed the two people out. There was a one-sided fight, the two were mobbed by twenty people. It didn't take long for the two men to fall.
The mayor's man's errand fell rolling on the ground, bruised here and there. Faintly he listened to the clattering of footsteps nearby lying down. His blurry eyes could not clearly grasp who the blue-eyed figure and the black robe was, when he woke up the next day he found nothing but a plot of wood that was written something with a sword eye.
"The New Era Begins."

The drug experts are overwhelmed.
The wounds on Lan An's body were impossible to heal, his internal organs were pierced several times and some parts were torn. Shen Xuemei did not answer the letter that had been sent far away, while the port line was visited by a storm so that ships from other places were difficult to leave for the port in Renwu City.
Ren Yuan had left with some other people to take the medicine, it was very difficult to find it and it took several days. Several others were assigned to treat the wound until Ren Yuan returned. Xin Xia fell ill, and that day the others were busy deliberating.
"Will the new first Pillar be replaced?"
Because they actually didn't like Lan An enough to stand on top of them. "Or maybe if he survived, his position would decline. It's an opportunity for others to come up."
From there came something unexpected; the Imperial Pillars took to the streets greeting their people. No one thought it strange, one of the pillars greeted him from inside a luxurious horse carriage. He smiled proudly as everyone was cheering him on, some throwing flowers and praises.
"Hahaha, there's someone who just woke up from a beautiful dream."
The man could not see who was talking, there were too many people around him.
"You slept very well, until the First Pillar falls you move."
"Who's there?"
"You hear a little secret?"
The man could not see who was speaking, knowing the voice was clearly heard nearby.
"Shut up!"
Instantly, the citizens who had been cheerful greeted him speechless, seeing the man's reaction that began strange. He's talking to himself.
"The place you stand now will not be safe, he will return to eliminate elite parasites like you."
"Shut up, motherfucker!" The man did not understand why his blood was boiling, his emotions were unstable.
"I dare guarantee you'll be destroyed soon."
"That's you, filthy garbage"
He gained his own consciousness while panting, something that made his body numb had disappeared. When they realized that everyone was looking at him in fear, they backed off and left.

Curtains woven with silk braid moved slowly in the wind that entered the window in a residence, the place was rather quiet compared to the previous days. During the day there was not much to look at, whereas there was only Xin Zhan standing guard. He sat under a big tree in the courtyard. Sharpening his sword while daydreaming, still imagined a figure who last night met him on the roof.
The young man dismissed his thoughts, intending to return to the house. He slightly looked at the top building where Lan An's room was located. Yet how shocked Xin Zhan was when behind the curtains in the room, a shadow figure appeared inside.
Without a second thought Xin Zhan immediately moved from his place, rushing to forget his own sword. Fast running, when he got there Xin Zhan found nothing but Lan An who was still in his original position, nothing happened or indeed he saw wrong earlier.
Yet for some reason, Xin Zhan was also expecting something. That the mysterious person who came was the same person who had once saved his life from the fiery ferocity in Renwu City. Xin Zhan could not tell who it was, however, he could clearly remember that the person had the color as blue as the Fire of Eternity that burned the city of Renwu.
There was a suspicious sound from the direction of the living room, Xin Zhan followed the source of his voice by sneaking around. Nobody was home at all. Sure enough, there's nothing there. Xin Zhan watched once more carefully, even though it was still daytime he was also somewhat creepy if his uncle's house was inhabited by ghosts.
Xin Zhan was intending to return to Lan An's room, but the moment she opened the door, it was completely unwilling to open. Someone locked it from the inside.
