Heart Cultivation 284 The Death Of Ally Part 2

The Death Of Ally (part 2)

The first grade weapon pierced through the chest and a blood fountain splattered on his robes, his eyes popped out with the horror, the fatty looked around with disbelieve, the people used to fear him and he himself never considered this possibility that he would ever face this day.

He looked at the man whom he wanted to ambush but he was lucky and then he looked toward the girl, she was calm and threatening, slowly everything started blurring and he fell on the ground with a thud.

Old merchant stood up from his seat, he could not decide whether he should celebrate this moment when his enemy fell or he should be worried for the young man because this could bring him a series of troubles.

Old merchant looked at the calm girl and she seemed unmoved by the b.l.o.o.d.y scene, he never thought this possibility as to why they were asking about the whereabouts of fatty archon if he has known this notion before he would have stopped them, they should not be messing with the crown lady but now it was inevitable.

The death of city archon was not a small matter and cannot be neglected especially when he was among allies.

People who were very excited to witness this battle immediately left the challenger s.h.i.+llelagh, they were horrified simply, they have heard many rumors about the crown lady, she always set example by killing whoever dared to go against her appointed officials, and this matter was not about going against it was a matter of killing an official.

Inside the crown house, a lady was sitting on the crown, she barely gave permission to an elder for audience and he brought the news about a murder.

"The mugger was working under the city archon from a very long time and today he was killed in the middle of the market," the elder related.

"To worry about such matters is not my business, city archon can appoint someone else, are you thinking me to make a move just because a random mugger was killed, he must be killed because of his lackadaisical nature, and people who are useless shall be killed," she slammed her hand on the seat and turned her face.

She was already angry because this time she could not get enough jade pins from her share and she blamed mugger for her lose.

"Tell me did you find Lin'an?" crown lady asked, it was already a week that Lin'an ran away from the crown house and still there was no news about her.

"Few people saw a lady leaving the clandestine Manias four days ago, but it is not confirmed that the lady was miss Lin'an," the elder was slightly apprehensive because crown lady could immediately change her temper and probably he would be the only one to face her wrath.

"How could she leave this Manias, she has no experience of the world," she crossed her arms on her chest angrily, she was tired to advice this girl of her again and again but Lin'an was tenacious just like her father, obstinate father so do the daughter, she shook her shoulders unwilling to bring her back.

"Let her wander in the void for some time and once get tired she will return back," crown lady was sure that Lin'an would get scared from the dangers in the void, the unpredictable people and their self-motives would definitely break her heart and she would return and listen to her mother obediently.

"Milady, if the royal miss did not return?" the elder made this question though he was spared just now but it seemed his tongue wanted to drag him in the trouble.

Crown lady furiously looked at the elder, and slapped, "Go and find city archon, I am going to bring back Lin'an," though the question of the elder was crude but it can be possible, Lin'an might choose another Manias to live or hide her ident.i.ty.

Both possibilities were not truth, she was currently seriously injured in the void, she was alone and attacked by a rapscallion, before he could kill her and get his hands on her storage, the Dean of the cultivation school who was returning from a trip happened to see, "Who are you, you should not mess up in other's matter," the rapscallion was angry, he could have killed her smoothly and disappeared but this oldie showed up what a bad timing.

"I am not sure if it is other's matter or not but I think I cannot close my eyes when it is necessary to keep open," he has spent his life in the Clandestine Manias and he could tell from the robes that this girl belong to Clandestine Manias.

He cannot neglect this fact and leave her here at the mercy of this rapscallion, the dean was man of character, his son was killed by the crown lady many years ago because he wanted to defeat her and kill the cult cultivators from the Clandestine Manias but in the end he was killed with the help of other elders.

The dean was sincerely helping geniuses of his cultivation school, he went to talk in the nearest Manias cultivation school so that few of geniuses could be s.h.i.+fted there, he feared that the crown lady might come looking for them soon, she wanted to make sure that no one ever have guts to stand against her.

The dean was thinking something else, if he s.h.i.+fted geniuses somewhere else until they learn and become stronger than the crown lady, this way they could be saved and perhaps one day they will be able to join hands and finish cult succ.u.mbs from this Manias.

No one have much approach to reach the Defender and ask for help, moreover the crown lady was smart enough to hide her cult ways, she has intentionally developed fear in the hearts that they would not disclose it openly to any outsider.

The rapscallion ran away because dean was stronger than his expectations, Lin'an was badly injured and half conscious, the dean helped her stand up and they walked toward the entrance fiber, Lin'an shook her head, she don't want to go back.

Dean was puzzled and asked why she was reluctant, but before she could explain she fell unconscious.

Now he has to bring her in his home and hide any information about her, from her unwillingness he judged that this girl must have offended someone that's why she was reluctant.

He asked his most trusted mender friend to heal her.

"Milady, city archon won't be able to come," the elder came back after witnessing the dead body.

"What do you mean, is there anything more important than my order?" she furiously asked.

"Mm, someone killed city archon in the Challenger ring," the elder lowered his head, today was his bad day, he was left to bring these news and earn her anger.

"Who dared to kill him, is that another genius appeared to get slaughtered with my hands?" crown lady stood up, it was some time when she happened to face a true genius, the son of the second elder was not a match and got killed easily.

"I heard that the one killed him is an outsider and he challenged by saying that he was offended by city archon," the elder related.

She sat on her seat, it seemed the outsider was smart but if she did not take action, her fear from the hearts would slowly diminish and it would be a threat for her rule.

"He better leave this Manias or I will kill him," she slammed her hand against the seat, the city archon was killed in the challenger ring and if she immediately made a move, the people would think that she was afraid of the outsider.

Zhi Chang and Jen returned back to their lodge and old merchant followed, "Young man, I wanted to ask how city archon offended you?" the old merchant was unable to believe his eyes and he needed a strong reason to make himself believe it.

Zhi Chang stopped and smiled, "Two days ago he came to ambush me," he simply answered.

The old merchant nodded, so that fatty was finally unable to hold himself after the mugging was interrupted, he thought.

"Young man, you should leave this Manias with your apprentice, I am afraid the news must have reached to the crown lady," he was concerned.

"Senior, we wanted to stay in this Manias for a while and if the crown lady also wanted to ambush, I am afraid I have to challenge her before her ambush," Zhi Chang was not willing to leave it like that, he could feel that Jen also wanted to meet crown lady that means they have no way to back down.

Even if crown lady was some cult, she had to appear in the challenger s.h.i.+llelagh, he looked toward Jen for approval and she denied, "Oh," Zhi Chang blinked his eyes, he thought that this rule was for all.
