But before he could continue he felt the atmosphere became heavy. Everyone was scared as he looked at the direction of the sword.The sword emits a scary howl it keeps shaking like it wanted to break free. Everyone felt the suffocation of death as they step back shivering
"Start." A cold voice like a grim reaper voice out. They knew this will be their worst nightmare as the sword shake heavily trying to break free, it howls like a hungry devil. When they felt the scent of they immediately moved back
"Everyone runs from that sword! Hurry!" w.a.n.g Li signaled, his heart was beating fast as he keeps on running. He didn"t turn back, he didn"t dare he knows that sword aura even though that young lady said it"s a weapon to kill it"s a vice versa. That"s a weapon who could kill a human! A living weapon
That young lady didn"t intend them to leave! She all wanted them to die!
"Everybody run! Run as fast as you can! Hide into the valley faster!"
But then the sword breaks free, it releases a strange cry those who acted late, cover their ears, they felt a needle on their brain slowly stabbing. When they saw that scene the crowd couldn"t help but feel scared so much they want to kill themselves.
The Sword went straight to those get affected by the sound and beheaded anyone under its blade.
"Stop! No, don"t come near me! Stop it! Ahhhh" *Slash*
"Nooooooo!"
"H-help! Someone help me! Ahhhh"
*swoosh*
*Slash*
They wanted to give up but they couldn"t!
"Run! Save your lives! I"ll try to stop it!" w.a.n.g Li gritted his teeth. He didn"t want to die, someone was waiting for him. But for the sake of his fellow friends, he will try to stop it.
When the Elders saw w.a.n.g Li trying to stop the swords they felt grateful as they run. They didn"t say anything, they all wanted to live and in this world, the most important thing is to live and not to care about the others.
The one who was slap by w.a.n.g Li gives him a ridiculing smile as he runs faster.
w.a.n.g Li saw how they run without looking back anymore, he felt betrayed. Not only they didn"t help him they also didn"t say any words as they run faster.
w.a.n.g Li felt so stupid as the sword went straight to him. He closes his eyes imagining his most important person and smiled. He waited for his death when a chuckling voice behind his ear
"You Pa.s.s"

w.a.n.g Li kneeled at Yan Rou made everyone dumbfounded. "M-miss please let this old Man s-speak" w.a.n.g Li felt an overwhelming pressure but he gritted his teeth. He didn"t care about the pride he wanted to know what happened.
Yan Rou glance at him "Don"t kneel, you"re an elder"
w.a.n.g Li was stunned he looks straight at Yan Rou in dazed. He was ready to die and sacrifice his life for others he didn"t know it was only a trial. Everything felt surreal when you"re close to dying then this…
"I-I wouldn"t dare my lady" w.a.n.g Li bow down again, he knows that this lady has a very bad temper a complete misunderstanding might end up him dying.
He sighed inside, I might not die but sooner.
He gave a sad smile.
"It"s what you think I am?" Yan Rou said giving the elder a slight grin, w.a.n.g Li"s face says it all
w.a.n.g Li felt awkward, he didn"t respond he just shut his mouth. When Yan Rou saw it she sighed as she looked at An Feng.
"Am I that cruel?" Yan Rou asked completely aggrieved.
"…."
An Feng couldn"t speak as he carefully thinks what will he say. An Feng also conflicted but ended up nodding curtly.
"…."

Yan Rou also wanted to ask Ryze but before she could Ryze cut him off "You are Mistress."
"…."
Yan Rou sighed "Hey If someone kills you and those important to you or plot against you, will you let them go? Of course not, maybe I have gone too far but I didn"t kill anyone like cutting weeds. I don"t kill if they don"t offend him and I wouldn"t just raise my sword if there"s no reason. I have a friend he saves my life so I want to pay back by doing this. I owe him my life" Yan Rou explain as he looked at w.a.n.g Li, who remains his head down without reaction
"Did you think I will kill your friends?" w.a.n.g Li suddenly moved his face is full of questions. When Yan Rou saw it she slightly smile
"The play you played is within the s.p.a.ce illusion, you will think everything you see is real but everything is fake except for the spiritual energy that invaded in your minds. It will attack your weakness and the moment you feel the greed, betrayal, abandonment you will feel the negative energy sapling in your heart, you will experience death like that sword."
She was surprised by the knowledge when she learns about the s.p.a.ce Dao and that man knows with her current level learning a low-level s.p.a.ce skill will complement her Silver Soul. Yan Rou"s very grateful, Xuan Zi helps her a lot she didn"t know how to repay him, she could only to this for now, but someday she will help him.
In the Future, Xuan Zi will be surprised by her progress everyone will know her and will respect her. In this continent, Xuan Zi and Her will walk side by side reminiscing her past but that will be soon.
w.a.n.g Li was confused he only look straight in Yan Rou his eyes were full of a question but didn"t speak.
Yan Rou grin, amused "Cat got your tongue? Don"t worry they"re safe"
w.a.n.g Li blushed, this girl knows how to tease an old man like him. "M-my lady is what you say is true? It that means they"re alive? But why?"
w.a.n.g Li gathered his courage, even they abandoned him w.a.n.g Li couldn"t forget the years they share. They were brothers and thinking them get killed gives him pain.
Yan Rou saw how he reacted made her sighed. That"s why she couldn"t kill them all, she hoped there"s a decent human in there to help her in the future. Though Xuan Zi could help her she didn"t want to keep relying on him. How could she grow on her own if she keeps getting her by that man?
"I want a subordinate, in my clan if you are trash you are a disgrace. When they throw me and abandoned me I realize I couldn"t just trust anyone. Even your close kin will abandon you. You saw my half-sister acted to me that"s why I devise this game." She stated calmly
w.a.n.g Li felt conflicted, this lady must have been through a lot that why she"s this ruthless. Also, he felt pity when he heard she"s been abandoned, he knows what it feels like so he could understand her a little bit.
"I don"t trust you but I have confidence in your behavior. I want to hire you" Yan Rou said calmly.
w.a.n.g Li almost choked but for a second thought, this lady is very talented. His very old and he can"t advance anymore but, if this lady becomes powerful someday will he be also…
He was muddled and gritted his teeth, that scene repeated in his mind, he thought they were brothers, he felt hurt. Now that he was alone and this lady offering him his service
"How could I swear my allegiance to you? Show me your worth" w.a.n.g Li gazed hardened even his scared with that shadow guard his not afraid to die. Giving his loyalty is not easy, he was betrayed this time he has to be careful.
