“Today is the 9th day after he gave me this letter, Qi Xuan still hasn’t come to look for me!” In the smoke, Ding Yan said with a cold tone of voice, there seemed to be a trace of sadness as well.
“You mean he is alive, but he is not the same person anymore!?” Chu Yunsheng plunged deep into the thought. He had the ancient book, so he knew more information than Ding Yan. The first thing he thought was that if this person was the great devil from outer space. Then he thought that the stuff he was looking for might be the ancient book.
Questions after questions flashing through his mind, but he did not have answers. It made him become even more anxious.
“Yes, a few days ago, I used Zhu Lingdie’s invitation as an excuse to speak to him. I indirectly asked him a few questions, but no reactions, and no responses from him. I’m sure that he is not the Qi Xuan I know.” Ding Yan seemed to be very calm when he said it.
“What do you mean? Is he controlled by the cloaked man? or something happened to himself?” Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows. Although he had witnessed many strange things, a person suddenly lost his “mind” still surprised Chu Yunsheng.
“I don’t know, he looks like him, But he can’t remember a lot of things. Especially the way he looked at me…” Ding Yan shook his head. He couldn’t tell how, but he was sure that the original Qi Xuan had died.
“Have you ever seen the cloaked man in person?” Chu Yunsheng asked. No matter what happened to Qi Xuan, the cloak man was his real concern.
“No!” Then he suddenly stared at Chu Yunsheng, “Sword Qi! The cloak man uses the sword Qi, Brother Chu. To be honest, in the beginning, I almost thought that he was you! You are the only person I know, who can unleash sword Qi.”
“Then, what changed your mind?” Chu Yunsheng seemed to have a faint of smile on his face.
It was not surprising that Ding Yan suspected him, however, Chu Yunsheng thought that his sword Qi was still far away from being the real sword Qi that was mentioned in the ancient book. But he also wasn’t sure that if the cloak man’s sword Qi was the sword Qi the book mentioned as well.
After all, different people have different understandings of the same object, and some objects might look the same, or they might be called the same name, but actually, they were totally different things.
“Qi Xuan said it very clearly, the cloaked man is not our own kind, at least, you are still a human!” Ding Yan smiled.
Chu Yunsheng put out the cigarette, and gradually calmed down. He dropped the idea that the cloaked man was the great devil. The senior practitioner warned repeatedly that the devil was extremely powerful, the human race could not compete with it at all. The cloaked man was only just somewhere above Rank-5, if all the dark warriors in Jin Ling city worked together, they could easily kill him
In terms of the cubic object, Chu Yunsheng wasn’t sure if the man was looking for the book or not, but it didn’t seem like it.
However, at this moment, all the speculations were useless.
“It was because of the cloaked man that you wanted to kill Duan Danian?” Chu Yunsheng returned to where they started.
“That’s right, you and the cloaked man both use sword Qi. Although I don’t know what secret you have, sooner or later, he will find you. If you are not powerful enough, you will become next Qi Xuan!” said Ding Yan.
“So, you intentionally forced him to join me?” Chu Yunsheng didn’t think it was necessary. Lao Duan was a bandit, whichever the side benefited them more, they would join that side.
“It’s best for him to join us, otherwise, we are definitely going to kill him. It is just a Rank-2 dark warrior. It’s not worth risking it.” Ding Yan shook his head and carried on saying
“Although many people have seen your sword Qi, not many people know where you are now. Even all the people that escaped from the fog city thought you were dead. But Duan Danian just saw it!
You don’t need to worry about the witch, I’ve talked to her already, she still needs your help, so she wouldn’t do anything to harm you. We also need her, at the moment.
But this is just the precautions, not the most important thing.
Based on your power, you are at least at Rank-4, plus the strange stuff you have. As long as we can expand our force quickly. Even if the cloaked man found you later, he won’t be able to do anything to you. Even with Qi Xuan, who had just reached Rank-4 bing-class not long, the cloaked man still needed to negotiate with him first.”
Although Chu Yunsheng was a cautious person, he didn’t think the cloaked man would come to look for him. Because there were so many powerful humans in Jin Ling city.
In the future, they might have conflict, but in the meantime, the cloaked man was less dangerous than the insects outside the city.
Also, if his body was filled with Yuan Qi, and he had all the talismans he needed, It was not impossible to fight the cloaked man!
Ding Yan didn’t know his real power, so his concerns weren’t all wrong.
“Why do you want to help me?” Chu Yunsheng smiled.
“I said it before. The world has changed, and the rules have changed, I just want to side with a powerful human, not an inhuman!” Ding Yan said it directly, “also, I am just a Rank-2 dark warrior. Yao Xiang and Lu Yu are the foundations of my power. Yao Xiang was only with you for a short period of time, but he admires you the most.
And Lu Yu, I don’t think he will return to the Northern District with me. He said that even though he couldn’t save his wife and mother in time, without your help, he probably would fall into the endless mental torture.
So, do you think I have other choices?”
“I hope that we will have a good time working together again!” Chu Yunsheng didn’t mind working with Ding Yan. It might not be a bad thing if he could form a gang in the Western District. However, before he understood the entire book, he didn’t want to reveal himself to everyone. So in the meantime, he would need Ding Yan to be his mask in the public.
When Chu Yunsheng and Ding Yan walked out of the dormitory, Duan Danian had already made up his mind. Although he was surprised to know that Chu Yunsheng actually knew the 13th master, joining him was much better than joining the 13th master. At least, he was able to explain to his men. ‘Sigh, my leader’s seat is now gone forever.’ He was upset.
When Chu Yunsheng returned to the house he bought, Lu Yaming finally woke up. He was knocked out by Ding Yan and lost his consciousness until everything settled. He broke out into a cold sweat when he heard that not a single Yue Jin’s men lived.
Lu Yaming was waiting inside the courtyard in panic for a while now. Even though no one was talking to him, he was happy about it. It meant that Chu Yunsheng wouldn’t punish him.
Until the hazy skimmer nearly disappeared from the sky, the leader of the killers – Ding Yan finally talked to him. He wanted him to be a middleman, and they wanted to buy a 10-storey office building near Chu Yunsheng’s house.
Lu Yaming didn’t know why those powerful dark warriors would waste food to buy a building. With their ability, they could entirely use force to evict the people out of the building. But he didn’t dare to ask. He just simply followed the instructions.
There were around 30 dark warriors in total. Amongst them, only Yao Xiang reached Rank-3, around 10 people were Rank-2 and the rest of them were Rank-1.
Compared to the gangs in the Northern District or the Eastern District, Chu Yunsheng’s group might not stand out, but in the Western District, especially in this shantytown, it was a powerful gang.
Fang Kui was the first person who got the information. In fact, when Jing Tian was taken away, he had already received Lu Yaming’s help request. But he was afraid to mess with Yue Jin. Not only because Yue Jin had a close relationship with Zeng Xingrui, who was working for the Western District’s overlord, The Ice King, but he was also a Rank-2 Jia-class dark warrior. That was why he refused to help.
However, a dramatic change just happened in one day. First, Yue Jin’s men were killed, then those people decided to stay here. He did not know why this place would attract those people, but he had to think of a solution to get away.
He quickly made up his mind and decided to seek shelter from Zeng Xingrui. Those people killed Zeng Xingrui’s men, sooner or later, they would have a fight with him. He had already made one mistake before, he couldn’t afford to make one more mistake.
After careful consideration, he still thought that the ice king’s force was much powerful. At least, they had more Rank-3 dark warriors!
Although he would lose his seat, saving his life was much more important.
“Fang Kui ran away?” Chu Yunsheng was confused. He never had a problem with this person before. He had also never even met this person before.
“He sought shelter from Zeng Xingrui. He was scared that you are going to take revenge on him,” said Ding Yan.
