Chapter 240: Revenge?



Chapter 240: Revenge?

"You saidTwo thousand?" Haru asked. He couldn't believe it. He didn't expect the demon clan to send many people if it was just a small unknown planet like earth. Even one or two of their stronger cultivators would be able to slaughter everyone there. Just like the demon Lao killed.

Two thousand cultivators seemed a little overkill for the job but as he thought about it more he thought that it would probably be better if there were two thousand cultivators. It would be harder to organise them for the fight.

But if it came down to an all-out battle then numbers would help a lot even if the enemy was a lot stronger than most of the people that would be fighting. 

"Yes, I have two thousand cultivators within my sect. Although not all of them are suited for fighting. My sect focuses on arrays more than combat so they will be a great help in protecting the area. 

From what your friend told us I have a pretty good idea that they will come to the exact spot where he killed the demon a few nights ago. If that's the case then my sect can help to protect the city. 

We don't need civilians getting involved in the fight after all." Ruella said with a smile. For someone from another clan, she was very empathetic for the humans living on earth. 

Haru nodded his head in agreement. 

"Yeah, Then in that case I will leave the protection for the city in your hands." Haru smiled back at her before his eyes drifted over to Sect Master Shen who looked as though he had something to say. 

As soon as Haru's eyes met his own, he said what was on his mind. 

"I might not have as many people as Ruella in my sect but we currently have fourteen nascent soul realm cultivators, around seventy manifestation stage cultivators and then one hundred and forty cultivators at other stages. 

The people below the manifestation stage probably won't be able to fight so do you mind if I put them on guard duty? Their job will be to keep people in their homes and make sure that no one wanders off toward the fighting." He asked.

"It's your sect. You decide what you want to do with your people. I'm just happy that you came at all. This is all my fault and you didn't have to get involved in this. 

So thank you to both of you." Haru thanked both Ruella and Sect Master Shen with a bow of his head and then turned around after a faint cough came from over his shoulder. 

As he turned he was now facing the other nascent soul stage cultivators that had come to see what all of the commotions was about. But one of them stood out amongst them. 

It was the old man that Haru had met in Shenzhen. He was the one that was with Lian and also a member of the cultivation association. 

"Lao, Where's Meiling?" Haru used his spiritual sense to ask Lao. If one of the people from the cultivation association was here then they definitely knew about him kidnapping Meiling from their headquarters just a few nights before. 

"She's sleeping in the backroom. Why what is it?" Lao became concerned upon hearing Haru's question. 

"That old man there. He is from the cultivation association. I'm not sure what he's here for but he probably knows that we were the one that took Meiling and killed one of their people." Haru explained what he was worried about to Lao. 

Lao immediately began to sense the man's power. 

"Oh, It's the man who interrupted your fight that one time," Lao said, surprised by the fact that he was here too. 

But suddenly without warning the old man stepped forward and kneeled down on the floor in front of Sect Master Shen. 

"This Junior pays his respects to the sect master." The old man put his hands together and put his head down to the floor as he spoke. 

Sect Master Shen looked at everyone present with confusion. He didn't know what it was about but he knew that he had never met the man in front of him. 

"Do I know you?" He asked.

"No, But my teacher's teacher once had the pleasure to duel with the evil god a long time ago. My teacher passed the story down to me and told me that if I ever met anyone from your sect that I should treat them with the utmost respect." The old man explained. 

"You're teacher fought against an evil god? What does that have to do with my sect?" Shen asked. Now even more confused than he was before. 

"My apologies Sect master. I mean the man that guards your gate. He was given the nickname Evil God since everyone who faces him dies. Just like my teacher's teacher did." The old man explained. 

Shen Looked over at teacher Lin with a look of confusion. 

"Is that so? Well then What is it you want?" Shen asked. He thought it was a revenge thing. He was expecting the old man to challenge him to a fight or something but since he kneeled down it felt strange to him.

"I don't want anything. I just wanted to say that It would be my honour to fight beside you." The old man said with a sincere smile. 

Haru and Lao looked at each other for a moment. They thought that he was there about the incident with Meiling but in fact, he was there because he was a fan of the sect master and teacher Lin? 

"What!?" Haru couldn't hold back his words. He was at a loss.

"Hmm?" Shen looked at Haru, confused yet again. 

"It's nothing, I just had a little misunderstanding. I thought the old man was here to pick a fight. I didn't expect him to be a fan of the sect." Haru stated. 

"You thought I was here to pick a fight Wait a minute I know you. You're that boy I met back in Shenzhen when I lost a subordinate to the evil god. But you look different" The old man said softly. 

"I swear if someone calls me an evil god one more time" Teacher Lin sighed and covered his face with his hand out of embarrassment.

"Yeah, I thought you were here about what happened a few nights ago," Haru replied. 

"A few nights ago? What happened a few nights ago? Wait, so you're also the one who killed one of our teachers and kidnapped one of the students too?" The old man asked. 

For someone who was high up in the cultivation organization, he was pretty ill-informed. He didn't seem to know anything.

"Well, yeah. Your teacher assaulted her so I killed him. Is that a problem for you?" Haru asked. He wanted to know if now that he had found out that Haru was the one responsible for the death of an association member, he was going to take revenge. 

It was better to confront him while everyone was around. After all, the old man was a nascent soul stage cultivator and it would pose a problem if he was strong enough to take revenge. While everyone was nearby it was safer for Haru to talk to him. 

"A problem? Why would that be a problem? If he assaulted a child then he should be punished for his actions. You punished him for his actions so it's fine. He won't be assaulting children in the future will he?" The old man said with a smile. 

It was the same smile he had when Haru had first met him. It was as if you could trust him with even your deepest and darkest secrets. He seemed to be a friendly guy and didn't hold a grudge for what happened but that was what made the situation even stranger for Haru. 

"You're sure? I killed a member of your association. Isn't that a big deal?" Haru asked. 

"It's fine. There is no one on earth who could even think about taking revenge against you with these powerful backers. Why would I be mad about him being killed for offending someone who is stronger than him? The whole association already voted to drop the matter."  The old man said.

Haru took a few seconds to think. 'Really? I thought that they would come for revenge right away. But if it happened within their property then it wouldn't have been leaked so I guess they don't need to protect their pride'

"Well then, If that's the case then welcome aboard. The meeting will start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I will go into details about what is happening. 

And the same goes for everyone else here. If you want to know what's going on and want to help then stay here tonight. I have rooms available for everyone who has come all the way here.

There will be food and drink provided for you all night and I have some gifts for everyone who decides to help." Haru announced to everyone present. 

That was when someone stood out to him. At the back of the room. There was a large muscular man with a thick bushy beard, wearing a green military dress uniform with badges and medals on his chest. Over his right eye, there was a leather eye patch and on his hip, there was a gold and red sabre.

Major Niu stood next to the man and was talking to him. But as she spoke he didn't once take his eyes from Haru. He was staring with so much intent that it was beginning to make him feel nervous. 

"You have nothing to worry about. If he tries anything I will kill him where he stands." Lao said to Haru. 

"You don't have to kill him. I just want to know what he wants." Haru said quietly before walking over to him.  Lao began to talk and took the attention away from Haru as he made his way over to Major Niu and the man beside her.
