Toward Laoshan Forest
The villager of medium build sighed once again, this time more heavily. He carefully studied Xiao Chen to make sure the young man wasn’t part of the group that had traumatized their village only a few days earlier.“First, forgive me if I seemed suspicious of you both. My name is Sun Yang, you can call me To like the other villagers do.”“I can understand your suspicion, To. My name is Xiao Chen, and this is Sekar. Actually, we came to this village to ask the way to Mount Huashan, but after seeing this house, we felt moved to help.”Sun Yang smiled warmly at Xiao Chen and Sekar. “May I ask, what kind of help do you intend to give the owner of this house? Forgive me if I seem rude, but I must confirm first, because I think this needs to be discussed with the village head.”“Are there other villagers in the same condition as the owner of this house?” Xiao Chen asked back.“Economically, yes, there are several houses as poor as this one. But mentally, only Yu Karti is suffering like this
Psychopath
Xiao Chen tapped his left palm with a broomstick he held in his right hand. His smile spread wide, striking fear into the mind of the thick-mustached man.On the other side, with Fan Yu’s sword already out of its owner’s grasp, Sekar once again displayed her cruelty. The beautiful girl didn’t immediately kill Fan Yu, who had intended to defile her purity, but instead inflicted countless cuts across his entire body.Fan Yu looked as if he had just bathed in blood. His whole body was drenched red, including his clothes that had turned color.“You’ve messed with the wrong person! Enjoy the slow death that’s coming to you,” Sekar said coldly as she stared at Fan Yu’s body lying on the floor. The beautiful girl looked like a psychopath, taking pleasure in the deaths of her victims.Because of the sheer number of wounds on his body, Fan Yu struggled even to groan in pain. Several of his teeth had even been knocked out after being struck by the hilt of the sword.“You’re lucky you didn’t fig
The Broomstick
The terrifying grin on Xiao Chen’s face made the last remaining man collapse into a bow before him. His forehead pressed against the damp floor as sobs of fear spilled from his mouth.“Please spare my life, Warrior. I know nothing of what happened, I was only following along.”Xiao Chen let out a heavy sigh. He gazed at the trembling man whose body shook from his fear of death.“Very well, I’ll spare you. But tell me, where did Fan Yu take my friend?”The man lifted his head, shifting into a kneeling position. Yet he sat in silence, as if lost in confusion, unable to give an answer.Xiao Chen understood the dilemma weighing on him. If he didn’t reveal where Sekar had been taken, his own life would be at risk. But if he did reveal it, he feared Fan Yu, whom he suspected was the leader of this place.“You need not fear Fan Yu. I may not be the God of Death, but I promise you—he will die by my hand! I don’t have much time. Choose now—tell me, or die?”“Y-yes, Warrior. I’ll show you Lord
Numbing Smoke
Xiao Chen sharpened his hearing to catch where those footsteps were going. A few seconds later, the sound of steps disappeared, and silence once again engulfed the room.But what happened next startled Xiao Chen. He saw with his own eyes smoke seeping in through the crack under the door, filling the chamber. The more the smoke spread, the stronger the sweet fragrance became. Xiao Chen’s suspicion grew stronger.“What’s happening to my body?” Xiao Chen muttered in his heart. He felt his body gradually weaken, his vision blur, and a sudden dizziness strike him.On the other side, Sekar, who was asleep, also couldn’t escape the effect. The amount of smoke she inhaled made the beautiful girl faint.Moments later, the door opened from the outside. Three men wearing cloths over their noses and mouths entered the room.“Hahaha, tonight we’ve caught ourselves a special prey,” one of them said while staring at Sekar lying on the bed.“Don’t talk nonsense! We’d better make sure they’re unconsci
The Suspicious Inn
Sekar squinted at the building before her eyes. Two torches flanking the large gate swayed gracefully in the wind like dancers.“Is this really supposed to be an inn?” she asked Xiao Chen softly.“Perhaps it was designed this way to disguise its true purpose. That way, if bandits or the like ever wanted to cause trouble, they might think twice,” Xiao Chen replied. The same doubt lingered in his mind, but he didn’t want to be overly suspicious just yet.Xiao Chen leapt down from his horse and walked toward the gate, which was unguarded from the outside.Before he could knock, he sensed several faint energies behind the gate. He guessed they came from guards stationed for the night. To confirm his suspicion, Xiao Chen rapped several times on the sturdy wooden gate.Moments later, the heavy door creaked open. Two men with swords at their waists glared sharply at Xiao Chen, then shifted their gaze toward Sekar, who still sat atop he
Directions
Sekar nodded at Xiao Chen’s suggestion. A question had briefly crossed her mind about why Xiao Chen didn’t take any treasures from that sect as he had done at the Thousand Ghost Sect, but the beautiful girl brushed aside her thoughts.After they left that place, Xiao Chen invited Sekar to stop by a tavern. Not only did he want to find information about the road leading to Mount Huashan, but the young warrior also wanted to fill his stomach, which was growling with hunger.“Let’s stop there!” said Xiao Chen, directing his gaze toward a small tavern that was still open even though the evening had already fallen. Two horses were tied to wooden posts in front of it.For wanderers like them, taverns or places where people gathered were the best spots to ask for directions when they didn’t know the way. That was exactly what Xiao Chen intended to do.The small tavern on the forest’s edge was quiet, with only two visitors enjoying their meals.
