The Legend of Zhu San
278: Shen Rong's Concerns
“Stupid! … Do you think with your Death the trouble you caused will be finished!”
Shen Rong who had flashed first and moved three times faster than Zhu Han, managed to snatch the blade and throw it against the wall. He then rebuked Emperor Liu Feng.
“I have lived for more than a thousand years and only this time I met an Emperor like you!”
Emperor Liu Feng who was shocked by Shen Rong's words who dared to say he was stupid, became confused after hearing Shen Rong's words about living for over a thousand years.
“You have people who are very loyal and willing to sacrifice anything for you and this country. But you were suspicious and wanted to harm them. If only my disciple Ling’er had not begged me to let you live, you would have died in my hands.”
Everyone was downcast to see Shen Rong looking extremely angry, even Lin Kai was silent a thousand languages, seeing the fury of the figure he called the ancestor.
“Leluhur .. Please forgive His Majesty the Emperor, he has indeed been missteps. Please give her a chance once more.”
Emperor Liu Feng was really astonished to see such a great Grandfather and Swordsman like Fu Kuan, looking so polite and careful while talking to that man who looked younger than him.
Shen Rong let out a long sigh. He did not respond to Fu Kuan's words but nodded his head and walked out of the room.
“Yang Noble Emperor .. Please Forgive Ancestor Shen Rong's Attitude and Words.”
Noble Mu Bai who had been silent earlier immediately, walked up to Emperor Liu Feng and explained who Shen Rong really was and why they called him an ancestor.
The look on Emperor Liu Feng's face, pale after learning of Shen Rong's identity. All he could do was thank all those who had saved him from death.
***
Three days later, at dusk, came a letter from the carrier pigeon. The letter was sent from a village located midway between Baixan city and Shangyu town.
Xie Han who was now appointed as the leader of the Baixan City army, frowned after he finished reading the letter.
With a worried look, he rushed to meet Fu Kuan and Lin Kai. “Seal ... There is new information coming.” Xie Han immediately gave the letter to Fu Kuan.
The faces of Fu Kuan and Lin Kai looked tense after they finished reading the letter. The Fifteen Thousand Swordsman who would come to raid Baixan City, was no small force.
That was what made Fu Kuan and Lin Kai's forehead shrivel. There was concern on their faces because in his letter it was mentioned that about twenty people could float in the air.
It showed that their combat power was enormous. It was also mentioned in the letter that empress Qiu Lan and a personal bodyguard, led the Special Forces directly.
“We should discuss this with ancestor Shen .. Han’er where is your teacher currently?” Ask Fu Kuan.
“Teacher is meditating on the hill north of the city. I'll see him now.” Xie Han said as he prepared to shoot into the air.
“No Han’er .. Let Us go there. You tell the others about this.” After returning the letter to Xie Han. Fu Kuan and Lin Kai shot towards the north of Baixan City.
Two minutes later, the two arrived at the hill and saw Shen Rong sitting meditating on a large rock under a tree.
“It looks like there's something important that made you come to see me here.” Shen Rong said after Fu Kuan and Lin Kai set foot on the ground.
Shen Rong who was still closing his eyes as Fu Kuan told him, immediately opened his eyes wide.
“Is the Swordsman who can float so scary to you?” Shen Rong's question made Fu Kuan bewildered to answer.
“We have never been afraid of fighting, but the number of those who can float, is double the number of Us who are only eight people. Meaning the soldiers are in great danger by fighting them.”
Lin Kai's explanation made Shen Rong take a deep breath. “If the Goddess of Darkness is not with them, those twenty people I can kill alone. It turns out that he has known of my whereabouts .”
Shen Rong's voice sounded more like a complaint than a boast. Complaints about the fact that He had to fight with the Dark Goddess and could not protect the others.
His only hope is the Shield He will make. Only the Goddess of Death could destroy that Protective Shield. For that Shen Rong also expressed his plan.
Fu Kuan and Lin Kai were confused, between understanding and not what the protective shield meant. “How to make a shield for a city as large as Baixan?” That question, was intimately entrenched in the minds of both Teachers Zhu San.
“When will they Arrive in Baixan City?” Fu Kuan then explained that by noon tomorrow they were at the wall of Pagar south of Baixan city center.
“Alright tonight too I'll make a Protective Shield. Tell the City Lord to close all roads in and out of the city.”
After saying so, Shen Rong then took something from his Space Ring. Eight Blue Wine Fruits were seen to spread an enormous Aura of Strength.
“Share this fruit to eight people who can float. This fruit is efficacious to restore energy quickly.”
Fu Kuan received the fruit and gave two to Lin Kai for his wife Qin Ji.
But while on the way, Lin Kai asked for two more pieces for himself and the Wife. “What are you asking for two more pieces?” Fu Kuan asked in astonishment.
Lin Kai was silent for a moment, making Fu Kuan even more curious.”Tomorrow night is the time for me to hoe the rice fields. If my energy runs out in the fight tomorrow afternoon, how can I embrace it.”
Fu Kuan's eyes glared wide at Lin Kai's complaining words. “Dasar Tua Bangka wrinkles .. Can-can You think about it in a crucial time like this.”
Lin Kai laughed at Fu Kuan's words. As he was about to speak again, Shen Rong darted ahead of them at such a high speed.
“Why is Ancestor Shen such a rush towards Baixan city. Is there anything dangerous?” Fu Kuan voiced his astonishment.
“Maybe, if not why He is so in a hurry back.” Lin Kai agreed with what Fu Kuan said.
The two immediately sped up and found Shen Rong was being, pecking south with a frown.
“This newly emerged great power, is it his power? If true, this situation will be even harder for me to deal with alone. San’er .. Hurry up You guys out of the Soul Realm, I will not be able to protect them all with the presence of this one figure.”
Shen Rong said with a hint of worry in his heart. If the assumption is correct, then there will be many casualties on his side.
