Chapter 248 - Small, Small Su
Zhexiu walked up, and he looked at the Yellow Paper Umbrella in Chen Changsheng’s hand. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Changsheng did not know how to explain it, and said after thinking a little, “A sudden impulse?”
Zhexiu stayed silent for a while, before saying, “That’s an illness.”
(TN: Tide Rush of Blood, Zhexiu’s illness, can also mean ‘a sudden impulse’ or ‘to be carried away by a whim’.)
Chen Changsheng began to laugh, “I should be able to treat that illness.”
The two people walked over the stone bridge. Carrying the umbrella, they disappeared into the misty rain.
A while later, several girls of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green, who had entered the Garden of Zhou later than them, had also arrived at the stone bridge.
One of the teenage girls had a pretty and delicate face. She seemed to be very ordinary, just like the average, commonly seen disciple in sects for cultivation.
That young girl stopped at the end of the bridge. She raised her head to look at the drizzle in the sky, and felt that there was something abnormal.
A girl, who was slightly older looked, looked at the other girl’s tilted head. An expression of reverence could be seen through her eyes.
Another girl looked at the girl on the end of the bridge. She gathered up courage and asked, “Senior, do you not want to see him?”
That girl said calmly, “There is no difference between seeing or not. Since there are no differences in seeing him or not, I hate trouble.”
Tens of thousands of kilometres away from Hanqiu City, in the wind and snow, a male of the demon race shrouded in black robes looked at the black square disc. His brows were slightly furrowed.
In that moment before, Chen Changsheng had disappeared, and closely following, Zhexiu also disappeared.
He did not know that Chen Changsheng had opened up the umbrella that was gifted to him by the Old Master of the Wenshui Tang clan. Pondering this silently, just exactly what had happened?
Currently, nobody understood the Garden of Zhou better than him, and nobody could scheme as deeply as him. He believed that he could control the situation perfectly, with the black square plate as his chessboard and those people in the Garden of Zhou as his chess pieces. However, at this moment, he had suddenly discovered that there were chess pieces that had disappeared from his chessboard. This surprised him very much.
Floating in the snowstorm, there were three bronze flasks. Within them burned the life flames of Zhexiu and the other two. These flasks were already linked with his subordinates that had sneaked into the Garden of Zhou. However, he was not able to deal with Chen Changsheng in time, so he could only wait for his trace to appear again. He did not know when that drizzle in the Garden of Zhou would stop.
The snowstorm suddenly stopped.
It was not the normal stop, and it had actually, truly stopped.
The sound of the wind became silent. The snowflakes that were like peacock feathers froze mid air, and they were scattered in the air and ground around the demon race male.
He raised his head, and looked at a certain region deep in the snow. His expression remained apathetic, and he squinted his eyes. They seemed to be thin and long, and elegant, however, they carried a heavy, deathly aura.
A distinct sword slash slowly appeared from that area, like it had cut open the snowy air.
Where did this slash come from, for it to be able to stop the snow and wind in the land of demons?
“To plot a murder for a few members of the younger generation, you revealed your special techniques. Don’t you feel that the price that you have paid is just a little too great?”
A voice resounded in the snowy sky. This voice was very cool, but it also carried an undisciplined feeling.
“Actually, we have already searched for hundreds of years. Only until now did we learn that the advisor of the demon race was actually a Candle Shadow Shaman.”
The demon race male smiled a little, but he did not say anything.
As it turns out, he was the most mysterious and the scariest, the legendary military advisor of the Demon Race, Black Robe.
No wonder he wore black robes. It was extremely obvious amidst the wind and snow.
Then who was the owner of the cool voice?
Facing the unfathomable advisor of the Demon Race, Black Robe, this person was not scared at all, and they even seemed to be slightly rough and uncaring.
With the terrifying sound of space ripping open, the sword slash in the snowy sky began to slowly grow larger. From within, a person walked out.
Walking out of the sword slash, this person seemed to enveloped with a layer of sharpness. His clothes and appearance were completely coated in bright light.
Only until that person had taken several steps on the snowy ground did the sharp light slowly disappear.
He was a human male. No one knew how old he was. If it was just looking at the undisciplined look in his eyes, he seemed to still be a youngster. However, seeing the peace and profoundness within his pupils, it was like he had already cultivated for thousands of years.
The man walked on the snowy ground with his hand clasped. He carried a sword on his waist, which swayed gently. He seemed to be very casual, so he also seemed very natural and unrestrained.
“In order to do something, you must always pay a certain price.”
Black Robe looked at that man and said calmly, “Su Li, you have already roamed the world for several hundreds of years. Perhaps you still do not understand this idea?”
There was only one person in the world who was surnamed Su and could cause the advisor of the demon race army to be interested and converse with.
The junior uncle of Mount Li, Su Li.
To the human world, the demon army advisor Black Robe was the greatest nightmare. On a certain level, he was even scarier than the Demon Lord.
Then the junior uncle of Mount Li, Su Li, was the oddest legend, the most reckless ocean.
Because of the Garden of Zhou, they had met. Who was able to leave later?
Su Li was not interested in what Black Robe had said.
From hundreds of years ago, he had already been extremely disinterested in the extremely profound conversation of his senior, the Sect Leader, the Holy Maiden, the Pope, His Majesty Taizong and other important figures.
He was only interested in the sword, in travelling, in the floating clouds and the starry sky.
He asked directly, “How many people have you sent to sneak into the Garden of Zhou? Are there still tribe members of the Candle Shadow Shamans that are still being used by you?”
Black Robe waved his hand., and the mist above the black, square plate began to move. The surroundings and people in the Garden of Zhou disappeared.
He looked at Su Li and his eyes squinted. He smiled slightly, “What? Worrying about your daughter?”
Hearing this, Su Li also began smiling with his eyes squinted.
When Black Robe’s eyes squinted, his eyes became long and thin, and very elegant. However, they was filled with a frightening killing intent.
When Su Li squinted his eyes, his smile seemed to reveal the happiness within him. However, it currently carried the sharp intent of a sword.
He said with regret, “No wonder you are the legendary Black Robe. You are indeed scary. You actually even know about this.”
Black Robe said calmly, “There are very few things that I do not know in the world.”
Su Li’s smile gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious. He asked, “Then, do you know how terrifying I am when I go mad?”
