The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 25 - Sun God Pill
"I just had a little flu, made my throat hurt."
"So, do we need to stop buying drugs?"
"No, keep going. I need to get there as soon as possible."
Hours into the journey finally the riding carriage had made it back to their main headquarters, the gate that looked solidly opened as the cloaked man said Young Master had returned. The voices of the people inside sounded crowded, even Xin Chen himself did not know how his fate would be in the future.
Meanwhile the cloaked man looked suspicious why the Young Master inside the horse carriage did not want to go out even just to greet the bodyguards and warriors inside as usual. He peeked a little inside, looking from the outside was indeed the little boy inside was indeed the Young Master he was guarding.
But his mind remained bad, the man raised one simple question. "Young Master, do you remember your father's date of birth?"
Not feeling any answer the man began to feel his conjecture had been right all along, he put away the cloth that closed his gaze and found his Young Master sleeping soundly.
"Huh? Didn't he still answer my question?" There was a murmur of wonder for a while until he finally decided to forget it.
Xin Chen widened his eyes as he looked all over, it was unthinkable how big this place had grown even for a medium size was already extremely luxurious. Beautiful scenery and everything is neatly arranged there, making it inexhaustible.
At the same time, Xin Chen caught many important people coming to this place. Even most of them were people who came from noble families. They were all walking towards a towering, bone-white building, it seemed that it would be the auction venue.
Using the Blood Ghost Mask, Xin Chen was free to infiltrate every single place without being caught. He found nothing to do with the antidote or anything like that.
From Xin Chen's estimation, the little boy who was previously in the horse carriage should have woken up in a moment. He must immediately get the antidote and return to tell this to his father.
Out of one place Xin Chen could see on the small bridge were two young men being dragged around by a horde of warriors, from their faces alone they were clearly treated badly.
Xin Chen followed in which direction they were being taken, until they arrived at a spacious two-story room.
This place itself is uniquely designed, the first floor is empty but each side has a small door.
On the second floor alone the nobles who were dominated with foreign faces clapped their hands, looking enthusiastically waiting for the show on the first floor. They watch from above, while placing their respective bets.
Feeling that what he was watching was useless Xin Chen was intending to leave, but his steps stopped as the doors on the first floor opened.
Xin Chen stood closer in order to be able to see what was happening below. Dozens of ordinary youths who came from the peasantry were brought to this place like animals. In the circle of their hands are seen wooden bracelets containing their respective numbers.
"Is this the entertainment of these nobles? They treat humans like toys, they're annoying." she said small, her hands clenched over the floor divider.
"Hey little boy, did you come here alone?" One of the old men with white hair and the same colored mustache greeted, his face red as if he was drunk.
While Xin Chen paid no heed to what the man was busy with, he preferred to listen to the chatter beside him. It seems that the conversation was too secret to be heard by people around.
"Hey, did you know that tonight there will be an auction of the Sun God Pill?"
"Ah, yes. It was the pill they had promised. Only people who are already fully subscribed can participate in the auction."
"Sorry, I'd like to ask you a minute. You know what the Sun God Pill is?"
When he heard the man's eyes opened wide, he brought his face closer suspiciously. "Are you also after the pill?"
"Em, I just asked what the pill was for? What is it to cure poison or curse? Or something?"
The successive questions confused him, the man played the end of his mustache with the appearance of a nobleman. "That pill has nothing to do with what you said, but if you want to live forever..." A wide grin was plastered on his face.
"With that Pill you will be immortal, forever. The strength of your body will increase completely, even hard to penetrate with a celestial heirloom sword though! Aish, this feels really great!"
When he realized his enthusiastic attitude invited a lot of attention the man closed his mouth in shock.
"Little boy, if you want it mahon, I'm sorry. The pill will be mine. You can't buy it so easily. The Golden Eagle Sect can afford it at a high price."
His tone sounded arrogant, clearly thinking a little boy like Xin Chen would not be able to pay with as much money as he brought.
"Golden King? Why haven't I heard of it?" Xin Chen propped up his chin, never knowing where the sect came from.
"Ah, you must be the people here. The Golden Eagle Sect originated from the Qing Empire, deliberately coming to the Valley of the Gods after receiving the invitation."
Hearing the statement clearly Xin Chen did not accept, "Why do you guys have to come here? This is our imperial territory!"
The man's hand was raised upwards, like he was about to hold it. "Please, well, introduce my name Yan Xi."
Xin Chen shook his hand, without introducing himself.
"Can you tell me about this place?"
A little suspicious Yan Xi again raised a question. "You've joined a special member of this place?"
"Yes, I just joined. Maybe you don't understand anything yet, can you explain let me understand?"
Yan Xi laughed big, confirming the luxurious robe she was wearing. "Well... I'm sure your parents want to let you have fun in this place."
Yan Xi continued with a slight whisper. "This is the entertainment place of the upper class nobles, only certain people are allowed to enter this place. Look down, a more exciting show is about to start."
Xin Chen lowered his eyeballs downwards, growing furious at the stealth being ejected from the cage, making the youths below inevitably have to survive until the safe door was reopened.
"I heard lately there has been something terrible happening on both sides of us. Our emperor said that this village was indeed our land long ago."
"So you build something here?"
"Not really... It's a matter that's so secret. If you do not allow the laws that apply in our place, the war between the Qing Empire and the Shang Empire will be declared."
