493 Enter Myanmar (1/2)
It was one of the most powerful ancient sects in China.
Ever since its inception a thousand years ago, the Great Magus swept across China and even killed a Sect master of the Heavenly Master Sect and dominated China for hundreds of years. Even the emperor of China had to bow to the Great Magus and call him teacher.
This generation of the Dark Witch Sect also produced a Magus God that was also listed on the Divine Roll.
Sixty years ago, Ye Qincang finally defeated the Dark Witch Sect and forced them out of China to Myanmar. The Grand Magus God fought against Ye Qincang, but was eventually defeated. Afterward, he went into seclusion and swore to avenge his defeat after he had become more powerful.
Ever since the Dark Witch Sect arrived in Myanmar, they quickly rose to power and became the national sect of the country. Even Myanmar's president had to talk to the Grand Magus God with great respect.
\”Other than the Grand Magus God, the sect has nine perfected cultivators and hundreds of disciples.\”
\”Other than that, the sect also controlled the politics of Myanmar. They were respected by both the military leaders as well as the civil government. Myanmar's National Guard was filled with members of the Dark Witch Sect. In other words, the sect controlled an army of a hundred thousand strong. The Grand Magus God was seeking certain unique souls to help him complete his most deadly art: the Art of Seven Malice Divine Soul.\”
Chen Fan had extracted all of that information from the souls of the Magus that he had slaughtered.
\”Control a nation? This Dark Witch Sect must be a force to be reckoned with.\”
Yukishiro Sa was shocked by what she learned.
Although Myanmar was a small nation, it had a population of ten million and an army of a hundred thousand. Therefore, the fact that the Magus God was able to claim supremacy over such a nation had caught Yukishiro Sa by surprise.
\”His is the power of an Immortal State Warrior. I wager they must have been even more influential before the nuclear bomb was invented.\”
Chen Fan said with an icy intent in his voice: \”If it is true, then Myanmar's National Guard is also involved in Yu Wenjin's abduction.\”
Once Chen Fan had gotten what he needed, he set the souls ablaze with a golden flame.
\”Chen Beixuan, you have promised to release me once I have told you everything. What is the meaning of this?\” engulfed in flames, the soul of the Grand Magus shouted.
\”I lied.\”
Chen Fan replied impassively.
Their life or death was entirely at the whim of the North Mystic Celestial Lord. The mighty Celestial Lord would never let his actions be bound to any promises he made to his enemies.
\”Chen Beixuan, you are a despicable scoundrel! My Lord Father will avenge me, just wait! Arhhh!\”
The Grand Magus of the Dark Witch Sect let out a painful cry as the fire nibbled away his soul, and eventually reduced it to ashes.
\”You should wait for me here. It's too dangerous where I am going, and I need to be in and out of there quickly. You will be a hindrance rather than help if you come with me.\”
Before Chen Fan's voice faded, he flew up and toward the south, trailing a streak of azure light behind.
\”Yes..\”
Yukishiro Sa lowered her head and said.
Someone along the Myanmar border, a few soldiers wearing national guard uniforms were guarding a checkpoint.
\”What a shitty day. I thought the border was supposed to be busy around this time of the year.\”
\”It usually is. There are always many Chinese tourists or businessmen that need to cross the checkpoint. They are loaded with cash.\”
The Myanmar soldiers murmured to himself.
Although they were called the national guard, they only serve the president who was one of many warlords in Myanmar. Myanmar was plagued by civil strife in the last few decades and was run by a group of warlords. In order to establish some resemblance of order, the warlords eventually agree to elect one chief general among them as the leader of the country.
\”Hey, look, what is that?\”
Someone pointed a finger at the distant sky.
The other soldiers looked up and they saw an azure light descending from the sky and was approaching the checkpoint at lightning speed. Behind the azure glow was a plume of dust that looked like a snarling dragon.
After a flash of azure light, they saw a dark-haired, tall and handsome young man standing before them.
\”Is this the Myanmar border?\”
The young man asked in Burmese. The first few words sounded tired and heavily accented, but by the time he finished his question, his Burmese had gotten observably better.
\”Yes..\”
The leader of the soldiers replied in a shaky voice.
\”Bravo.\”
The young man replied briefly before he charged forward, turning into a streak of azure glow and was gone in a blink.
Once the soldiers finally gathered themselves, they found out that the checkpoint was in ruins. Many soldiers looked to the leader and asked: \”Captain, what should we do now? He destroyed our checkpoint.\”
\”What else CAN we do? Report to our general right now. We have been attacked!\”
The captain shouted at his soldiers.
The nation was constantly in the state of war and therefore, the intelligence department was active round the clock. The message was sent to the Deputy Minister of National Defense in less than ten minutes.
\”What is going on?\”
The deputy minister was a Lieutenant General. He looked at the report laying before him with a scowl.
