BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
128 - Fear

Ling Xian Shu had previously come to this place as a representative of the Thousand Sword Sect. The beautiful girl was actually not from the Thousand Sword Sect, Ling Xian Shu was a member of another college and came from a very far away place.

The Thousand Swords Sect itself was a college established using the power of Zhou Wei Liang Wang Kingdom. And only those from the nuclear family can join this sect.

"Go back, Sacred Warrior Wei Zhang Zihan." Ling Xian Shu had yet to give up on persuading the young man before her to go home.

He knew this young man well, even from childhood. Wei Zhang Zihan was the second son of Zhou King Wei Liang Wang and the only royal to decide to leave, even joining another sect.

"Event in the past... Shouldn't it be resolved?" Ling Xian Shu said, "His Majesty the King has forgiven your mistake. So let's go back,"

Wei Zhang Zihan lowered his gaze when he heard the words of this beautiful girl. He recalled the large hall of Zhou's palace with someone sitting on the throne and there was a figure kneeling on the floor wearing a battle robe.

It happened years ago. Yet he could still hear the sound of breathing from the subject and the blood in his battle robe which was proof of heroism. Wei Zhang Zihan still remembered every detail of the tension that tipped the humiliation, his hands clenched tightly as he recalled the degrading eye gaze of someone sitting on the King's throne.

"I'm sorry?" Wei Zhang Zihan turned around and looked at the subject before him. His voice was cold as he said, "What mistake have I made that I need an apology from His Majesty King Zhou?"

Ling Xian Shu gasped at the question posed by the young man before him. He reached out his hand, clasped the subject's hand before him and then opened his voice. "The events of the past were only related to King Bai Li and His Majesty King Zhou. You shouldn't involve yourself,"

"Go away," Wei Zhang Zihan withdrew his hand and then walked away from Ling Xian Shu. He said, "You can go home. Saying anything, including carrying an arrest warrant for me. But I'll never go back to a place where a father could eat the heart of his own son and an older brother who unhesitatingly sentenced his sister to death,"

"Wei.... Sacred Swordsman Wei.." Ling Xian Shu called Wei Zhang Zihan who was already getting further and further away. He could not catch up with the young man and continued to persuade him knowing that the subject was very opinionated.

If Wei Zhang Zihan had already said he would not return, then it would be very difficult to change that. Continuing to urge him is not something worth doing.

Ling Xian Shu clearly understood the problem Wei Zhang Zihan was having and the young man's decision to abandon his identity as a prince.

Many years ago, Zhou King Wei Bai Li, who was Wei Zhang Zihan's uncle, was accused of rebellion. Because of defending his uncle, Wei Zhang Zihan was exiled and his status as a prince was revoked.

Ling Xian Shu existed and watched as Wei Zhang Zihan stood up against his own father to protect Zhou King Wei Bai Li. It was considered the first and very fatal mistake taken by Wei Zhang Zihan. Whereas all this time, Wei Zhang Zihan was a competent prince and even had a brilliant reputation.

Many nobles and famous people even recognized Wei Zhang Zihan's abilities. They did not even hesitate to consider Wei Zhang Zihan worthy of being the crown prince, a figure worthy of inheriting the throne and capable of advancing the Zhou dynasty.

"................"

But unfortunately, one action of Wei Zhang Zihan changed everything. The young man not only discarded his surname, but also severed all ties with anyone who recognized him in the past.

Initially Ling Xian Shu took some time to ascertain whether the subject he saw was true was Wei Zhang Zihan whom he recognized or not, but when convinced... He could not bring this young man back.

Wei Zhang Zihan is now no longer known as the prince of the zhou dynasty. He was now the Sacred Swordsman of the Wushi Mountain Sect and was certainly far away in this place... No one would recognize him as a member of the royal family.

Wei Zhang Zihan continued walking. He thought that since the incident had happened many years ago, then there was no feeling whatsoever left in his heart. But he was wrong, because right now... He was really so angry.

"................" Wei Zhang Zihan was angry at himself because he had not been able to calm down upon hearing the words related to the zhou palace.

"Zhang Zihan's..!"

?!

An exclamation rang out and made Wei Zhang Zihan turn his head. The black-robed young man saw Liu Han Ying coming towards him and the girl seemed to be panting.

"God, thank goodness I found you." Liu Han Ying tried to catch his breath, he said. "I was thrown to a faraway place, whether Kai was avenging me or something... But this is outrageous,"

"................"

"By the way, where's Kai? The ancient tomb seal returned strong and disappeared now. There's no way we're going to continue to be here and wait for the ancient tomb to reappear,"

"......... I don't know where he is,"

"What?" Liu Han Ying blinked, "You..."

"I don't know where Kai is right now,"

Wei Zhang Zihan's expression changed. He immediately darted and made Liu Han Ying surprised. The girl caught up with Wei Zhang Zihan, both of them searching for Chu Kai's whereabouts.

The figure that Wei Zhang Zihan and Liu Han Ying were looking for was indeed still inside the ancient tomb. The young man had just opened his eyes slowly and then noticed the conditions around him.

Chu Kai still felt pain in his internal organs. He had trouble getting up and decided to lie down while regulating his breathing.

The green-eyed youth looked at the bright blue sky above him. He was among the ruins of the building with the smell of blood rancid as it had previously finished off the members of the Dead Moon Sect.

"It hurts so much...." Chu Kai grimaced. In his mind now, other than pain-he also thought of many things. This was about the events before he was unconscious.

"Actually... Who is that person and what is his relationship with me?" Chu Kai breathed slowly. He could feel a tight throb in his heart as he recalled the voice of the mysterious figure.

"You awake?"

"Mn?" Chu Kai heard a female voice and he turned his head. His eyes now saw a red mist gathering together and forming the figure of a girl who was none other than Wei Shezi.

"You..."

"Haaahs... You're scaring me," Wei Shezi walked over to Chu Kai. His gaze pointed at the human head on the ground and then blinked a few times.

"Kai, is this all you've done?" Wei Shezi looked surprised. He clearly did not expect that this figure who looked like an innocent young man could apparently perform such a very inhumane act.

"You're so bad..." Wei Shezi clucked as he shook his head slowly, "I thought you were a good person. But I didn't think you could be so brutal, ck ck... Lookatthis. I don't know what lump of meat I'm stepping on,"

"Why did you get here?" Chu Kai did not want to talk about the bloodstains and flesh clumps scattered on the floor. To be honest he didn't know if this was his doing or because of the mysterious figure who knew who it was.

Wei Shezi took a breath, he crossed his arms and said. "You're how... I am the guardian of the dragon swordsman and that sword has a relationship with you,"

Wei Shezi said, "When your consciousness is gone... Of course I'll be pulled here. Don't ask about what happened to you because I myself just arrived at this place."

Chu Kai looked at Wei Shezi and then said, "You said... You are the guardian of the dragon swords. Did you know that there's another guard of that sword?"

Wei Shezi frowned, "Another guard? Really true?"

Chu Kai tried to catch his breath. He said, "There is someone. He's a man, but with a face I can't see. His tone was mysterious and he asked me to speak. Every time he opened his voice, my body felt a lot of pain. Whom... Actually that guy?!"

Wei Shezi flinched. This was the first time he had seen such an overreaction from Chu Kai. It clearly proved that this young man had just experienced an event that could not and it had something to do with the dragon swordsman.

Wei Shezi turned around, he noticed the dragon swordsman swordsman who was currently still lying down before starting to catch his breath. Wei Shezi said, "I can't feel the presence of any other spirit within the sword at all. What's... Maybe it's just your imagination?"

"What?" Chu Kai clenched his hands and then said, "Do you think the Dead Moon Sect member who lives in his head is because of what I really want to do?!"

"I didn't want him to die so horribly. It's just that I'm aware, somehow I am." Chu Kai's breathing became irregular. He had previously indeed killed demonic beasts and even one of the members of the Dead Moon Sect.

Chu Kai remembered the woman he killed by using the Dragon Breathing Technique. Those Dead Moon Sect members were dying with black-colored bodies as if they were drained of blood and flesh.

It was just that this was the first time he had torn apart such a human organ, even though he swore not to do it - yet the sensation in his hand still felt strong.

"Actually.... What's going on with me?" Chu Kai swallowed. He looked at his hands and said, "I'm scared. But this fear is not because it has killed cruelly, but because of me... Not feeling guilty at all."

Chu Kai looked at the girl before him. His tone was half hoarse as he said, "Wei Shezi... Saying something. What's... I'm slowly starting to lose my human heart?"
