The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 235 - Painting
"What are you coming here for, Yuzhan?" Someone said fretfully behind the curtain made of woven cloth, the huge robe covering his entire body moving in rhythm as the man stood up. Staring at the person he called Yuzhan brought others home. His eyes that were starting to white due to aging vaguely caught the two of them sitting at the door courteously.
"Elder, I brought someone who might be able to help us respond to this problem."
"Yuzhan, I told you not to carelessly trust people!" Suddenly his voice boomed from inside the room, Yuzhan shrieked for a moment. But still begged him to talk.
"I ..." Yuzhan turned her gaze to Xin Chen. "I'm sure he knows something about the Lightning Demon Lord."
"Thunder Fox?" Xin Chen was slightly stunned, he looked straight ahead, the figure of the elder being obstructed by the curtains that constricted them.
"Where is the fox?"
The Indigenous Elder was silent in his place without showing any response, only sounding a small dullness until the stick in his hand he buckled on the wooden floor.
"Come in."
Then the two maids closed the door tightly, Xin Chen who had been distracted refocused on the elder. He was very old, but his voice was so loud. The clothes he wore were also not arbitrary, this person was a person respected by the villagers
"What do you mean come here, young man?" Not yet Xin Chen replied, he went back to sniffing. "You know, the information about the Earth Ruler Demon is something sacred in this village. We respect them so much, so do our ancestors. The guardian of the earth, the ten invincible elements. If it's up to young people like you to find out and try to kill them ...."
Yuzhan was about to interrupt, but the dominance of the indigenous elders was so strong. He doesn't want to talk just.
"I don't know why, should the Earth Sovereign Demon Beasts have obtained their respective hiding places. However," the cut looked heavy.
"You mentioned the fox, didn't you? You know what about her? If your answer is suspicious, I'm not reluctant to tie you up and wait for you to die in the middle of the village forest."
The conversation started to get tense, the elder did not appear at all friendly. Even the look on the man's own face had already revealed his dislike of the newcomer.
"I can't say that to just anyone either. The fox lost its original place in the already destroyed Renwu City. Something hurt him, and I'm here to make sure he's okay or not."
"You who? The Earth Ruler Demon did not arbitrarily communicate with humans."
The customary elder and Yuzhan both noticed Xin Chen who was reluctant to open his voice again, he was instead sidetracked on the paintings of ten legendary creatures that were each accompanied by an elemental emblem.
"You ignored my question!" her screams were loud while beating the cane, making Yuzhan almost surge from the seat. He nudged Xin Chen next to him who was still fixated on the painting.
"Young people don't know manners!"
The Indigenous Elder smashed his staff about to hit Xin Chen, but was brushed aside violently. Xin Chen stood up to be able to see the painting more clearly.
Xin Chen unleashed the power of the Fire of Immortality which made the bit part of the painting burn to form a black dragon, beneath which the flames were clearly drawn. The elder was not surprised, but also did not forgive Xin Chen's behavior.
"The fox said nearly half of them died because of the Dark Demon Lord. That means ...."
"I have to rescue him immediately. I know he's around here."
"You can't!" the man's sergeant, the wrinkles on his face increasingly appeared hideously. "We will look after him, they are the saviors of mankind - if the rest of them are destroyed, I don't know what will happen to this world."
"Then you wait for them to die by themselves? They have a strong rival. Saving them is part of the human task."
"I still can't trust you, not even a fingernail. It's good that you leave this village, or do you want to leave your life and die here?"
Yuzhan broke up, "Chairman, please forgive this young man. Maybe he's disrespectful, but I'm sure his intentions are good."
"You're patronizing me, Yuzhan?" the Elders reproach was still emotionless, Xin Chen could only snort in frustration. Where could he convince the old man whose head was more stone than himself. Moreover, the elder was unwilling to listen to anyone. One he answered the thousand that the elder threw.
Xin Chen sat back to where he was, this time more courteous than before. "Sorry to interrupt your time. My real purpose here is to ask about the prophecy seventeen years ago. Do you still remember it?"
"What do I have to tell you? You're not a part of us, there's no point in telling a stranger like you." That tone sounded defiant, Xin Chen calmed himself down. Actually he also does not like to argue with people head of stone, both emotions on both sides. He returned the sneer with a faint smile.
"Then, please excuse me. Sorry to interrupt your time, before."
Xin Chen looked down deeply, then got up and went outside the house. Yuzhan repeatedly glanced back, bowing her head in haste while catching up with Xin Chen.
"Young man, are you sulking?"
"What am I sulking for?" xin Chen's response was strange, "My aim here is not actually about divination. If it was about the existence of the Lightning Ruler Demon, it probably was. I can find it myself without having to ask."
"You're gonna look for him? Actually ... Who are you, sir?"
"There's nothing I can explain to you, sorry." Xin Chen stopped as they had already returned to Yuzhan's house. Xin Chen raised the tip of his head covering, seeing the thick cloud clumps about to come to their place.
Yuzhan who realized it immediately sensitized, she offered. "If Young Master wishes to stay over, I will gladly accept you. It just so happens that no one is building an inn here."
"No, thank you. I'll continue on my way."
"You sure?" Yuzhan looked unsettled, "This storm will probably last for days. It was hard to find an inn after this. No need to hide."
"I'll go first." Xin Chen immediately parted, Yuzhan took a small breath. Next to him his wife also stood by the door watching the young man leave.
Yuzhan muttered little, "Either why I feel that young man has something to do with the prophecy of the Mo clan and the Dark Demon Lord ...."
"You remember that, my husband?" His wife replied, Yuzhan was surprised.
"yes too! Son, wait a minute!" Yuzhan was stunned in her courtyard, just now she saw Xin Chen was still close. And now he disappeared with the stormy winds that swept through the village streets.
