SEVEN POWERS OF THE GOD GATE

Chapter 10. Chaos in Tian Yun Hill, the Fire Star Sect

"Never mind, brother Chia. Let's talk about something else," Yan Chen said.

Chia Yun smiled. He knew his new friend was trying to change the subject. He himself actually disliked the subject that Yan Chen was talking about. Moreover, it was related to the young man's sect, which should not be said to others.

"Where are you going next, brother Cia?" "Are you going to stay here for a long time?" asked Yan Chen.

"I'm still in town for the next five days, Brother Yan! What is it? Do you want me to leave this city immediately like you said last time?" replied Chia Yun with a smile.

Yan Chen became uneasy and confused at Chia Yun's words. His intentions were not what the young man had said. In fact, he is very happy that Chia Yun is still living in Xiang He City. It was because he was the only person he felt he could be friends with.

"I have no intention of asking you to leave this place. Last time, I wanted you to leave the city immediately because it was unsafe. Now that everything is under control, your presence in this place is very pleasant," Yan Chen replied.

Again, Chia Yun smiled in response to Yan Chen's answer. It was as if the young man had no burden at all with his words. In fact, people were made to go awry and become uncomfortable themselves. It was to the point that the young man wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Chia Yun then excused himself to leave the restaurant. When the young man stood up, Yan Chen also stood up.

"Where is brother Chia going?" asked Yan Chen.

"I just want to take a walk around the city, Brother Yan! Is there something wrong? Or do you want to keep an eye on me so you can monitor my movements?" Chia Yun replied with his trademark smile.

"Ah, that's not what I meant! If Brother Chia doesn't mind me accompanying you, I'll gladly take you around the city. Moreover, I know the intricacies of this city very well. If you don't find it boring to walk with me, I will be happy to be your guide," Yan Chen replied.

Chia Yun only replied with a nod of his head. Even with such a gesture, the cent seemed pleased. He then led Chia Yun around the city of Xiang He.

Throughout the trip around Xiang He city, Chia Yun did not even open her eyes. Even though it was obvious that Chen was waiting He still couldn't tell if his friend was truly blind or had just closed his eyes.

Yan Chen was actually reminded of the young man who had come to the sect to seek revenge against his two seniors. He saw the same young man close his eyes. There was indeed a resemblance between the two of them at a glance. There was no difference in stature or height. Only the faces were different between the two people.

It was the facial difference that made Yan Chen certain that Chia Yun and the young man who was seeking revenge on behalf of the Liong family were two different people. He could see the faces of the two. They were similar at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the difference was obvious.

"Brother Yan, is there something wrong with me? I noticed that you have been watching me all the way around Xianghe City. Is that suspicious to you?" asked Chia Yun, still showing her smile and friendly face even though her question seemed probing.

"I didn't do that. I was just wondering why you never opened your eyes. I apologize in advance if I ask such a presumptuous question. Is brother Cia really unable to see?"

Hahaha, that's what you're curious about, Brother Yan. I really can't open these eyes. Maybe I can do it once in a while. But it would be very dangerous. You may think that I can't see. But don't worry, I won't trouble you!" Chia Yun replied.

From Chia Yun's answer, Yan Chen suspected that the young man had a strange disease in his eyes. That's why he said he couldn't open his eyes and that it would be dangerous. He suspected that if Chia Yun opened his eyes, it would endanger his health. He nodded his head to indicate that he understood Chia Yun's situation.

"Don't you want to see a physician to treat your eyes? I have an acquaintance with a Sakti physician who is effective in treating all kinds of diseases. If you want, I can take you to the Sakti healer's place." Yan Chen asked again.

"No need, Brother Yan! I'm quite comfortable in this state. When the time comes, my eyes can be opened freely. You don't need to worry about that, Brother Yan."

Yan Chen did not insist anymore. He then escorted Chia Yun to his lodging place. Afterward, the Fire Star Sect's main disciple returned to his residence.

Yan Chen had been assigned to go down the mountain every three days to monitor the condition of Xiang He City. Thus, he could freely roam the city without being reprimanded by his sect. What he was doing was his duty to report on every situation that occurred in the city closest to the Fire Star Sect.

Upon Yan Chen's return to the Tian Yun hill where his sect stood, he once again encountered a heart-wrenching scene. The disciples were seen practicing vigorously, but there was no joy on their faces. They were as if undead, practicing just to fulfill an obligation. Not to mention after he entered the main hall to face his master, the eldest of the six disciples of the great master, who was also the auxiliary master in the sect.

He had overheard the conversation of two of his teacher's uncles who were involved in the massacre, wanting to surrender to the young man known as the Shadow of Death Swordsman, some of whom called him the God of Death without the swordsman appendage in front of him. However, the wishes of Yan Chen's two teacher-uncles were flatly rejected by the great master. The Fire Star Sect leader insisted on facing the young man together.

Seeing Yan Chen coming, the serious conversation was stopped. Yan Chen was invited to approach the meeting place.

"Disciple Yan Chen faces the great master, teacher, and uncle teacher!" Yan Chen exclaimed as he knelt down.

"How is Xianghe City now?" asked Chang Wutian, opening the conversation.

"Grandmaster, the city of Xianghe is safe and sound with no more disturbances. The townspeople are carrying on as usual. All the members of the Red Bear Sect have been executed by the city leaders," Yan Chen replied.

"Thank goodness then. Now we can concentrate on dealing with that young man. I think in five days we can build up a force that he won't be able to break through," Chang Wutian told his students.
