A furious and unwilling howl roared out from the shattered wind and sand.
The wind calmed and the sand settled, and the mountain was once more clear and bright.
The demi-human expert of the Proclamation of Liberation had already disappeared, leaving behind only a puddle of blood on the ground.
The blue-clothed man still stood at his original position, still standing in his usual manner: a lowered head and drooped shoulders. However, the right hand extended from his sleeve was shaking somewhat.
There was no sword in his hands, and it almost seemed like the bright and beautiful, yet strange sword glow only existed in the imagination.
In reality, other than in special situations like the one in Xunyang City, very rarely would anyone living see his sword.
The mountain path was deathly quiet. The crowd stared at the blue-clothed man up the mountain path, their minds in utter shock as they all thought, just who is he? A hidden expert sent by the Orthodoxy to protect Chen Changsheng?
The demi-human expert that had lost in one exchange had not recognized the blue-clothed man.
No one recognized the blue-clothed man, no matter how experienced and knowledgeable they were.
Su Li had once very disdainfully evaluated this blue-clothed man, saying that any assassin with a name was not a good assassin.
But in truth, besides him or an important figure like Zhu Luo, who else could know just who this blue-clothed man was?
Chen Changsheng knew who he was.
In the ten thousand–li journey from the snowy plains of the demon lands to the south, this blue-clothed man had always been watching them from the shadows. At the time, he had believed that this blue-clothed man was waiting for the right opportunity to kill them, but later on, he realized that he had been protecting them. Finally, in that storm over Xunyang, the blue-clothed man had taken out his sword at last. With one strike, he had been able to reverse the entire situation.
Just like now.
He walked up to the blue-clothed man and said to his back, ”Many thanks.”
The blue-clothed man turned and emotionlessly replied, ”Even without me, he would not dare to kill you.”
As he gazed at this ordinary face, Chen Changsheng suddenly realized that this face really was hard to remember. He had actually forgotten whether this face was similar to the one he had seen in Xunyang City.
”Even if he didn't dare to kill me, humiliating me is also not something I want.”
”If this were the past, I would definitely have waited to see just what sort of methods you would use to deal with him.”
The blue-clothed man glanced at the sword in Chen Changsheng's left hand. It was very obvious that he was sure Chen Changsheng was concealing some tricks.
”Why did you come and help me so early today?”
”I can't have anything happen to you.”
”Why?”
The blue-clothed man looked into his eyes and said with great solemnity, ”Because you are Big Brother's disciple.”
Chen Changsheng stared back blankly for a few moment before he finally understood who this Big Brother was. Shaking his head, he denied, ”I'm not.”
”You are Big Brother's disciple.” The blue-clothed man cared nothing of his denial, declaring, ”So you are Big Brother's disciple.”
Chen Changsheng felt very helpless. He argued, ”Even if Senior Su Li taught me swordplay, there's no reason for someone with your personality to care about my life and death.”
”A dutiful son pays his father's debts, as does a disciple for his teacher.”
The blue-clothed man said with all seriousness, ”He ran off, so you should pay his debts in his place. I naturally can't have you die.”
Chen Changsheng didn't understand, asking, ”What debt?”
The blue-clothed man explained, ”Back then, he brought us into the profession, but then he ran off. Now, he's run even farther away, so only you can come back and continue leading us.”
Chen Changsheng stood in a daze for quite a while before saying, ”I remember that there's also the second-ranked amongst your group?”
The blue-clothed man replied, ”He went to chase after Big Brother.”
At this time, a voice came from behind the two.
”That should be a woman, no?”
