Shadow Mask Group
31 - Melati City

When Liu Chen was still observing Han Liangyi and the demons in front of his friend, Liu Chen's shoulder was touched by someone.

This, made Liu Chen jump backwards. In fact, he almost fell down because he is currently on the roof of a house. He stared cautiously at the touch that hit his shoulder.

When he saw who was before him, Liu Chen let out a sigh. In front of him was Song Quon.

Song Quon frowned, "You why?"

Liu Chen looked at Song Quon in annoyance, "You surprised me. Next time just call me, don't surprise me anymore"

"I just touched your shoulder and didn't surprise you at all", Song Quon shook his head.

"Huft..have you been, where have you been all this time? Lookingforyou. I thought you were captured by demons or maybe eaten by wild animals. But nothing seems to happen to you"

"You're too evil thinking like that about me, are there no other thoughts besides that about me?", Song Quon seemed displeased.

"All right, all right.forgive me. Now tell me, where have you been all this time? I'm looking for you, you're worrying me"

"No need to worry about thinking about me, I'm fine"

"How not to worry? You were gone so long that it worried me. You're my friend, I can't let anything happen to you. If you get into trouble then I'll help you as much as I can. So just tell me if anything happens to you"

Song Quon smiled, "There's no need to worry about me like that. I just went to get information and I finally got results. I know how to get out of this world"

Liu Chen was surprised as well as amazed and delighted, "Are you serious? You're so good, you can get information so fast.Then, we can go back now"

Song Quon nodded, "Yes, we can go back right now. Come on, follow me!"

"Wait, Liangyi is here. We should go back with him", Liu Chen pointed at a crowd without staring in the direction he pointed.

Song Quon stared at the direction Liu Chen pointed at, frowning. "Where? There aren't. Let's take a good look, there's no Liangyi there. Look well, maybe you saw it wrong for thinking too much about it"

"I saw him there, there" Liu Chen's words came to a halt as he looked in his own direction. There were only a few demons crowding around, he did not see Han Liangyi either.

"So he was there. There's no way I've seen it wrong", Liu Chen looked at Song Quon as if he was convincing his friend.

Song Quon shook his head, "Here you go, you think too much about it until you fantasize that you saw Liangyi"

"But-"

"Here you go, let's go home. We can't stay here. This is enemy territory"

Liu Chen looked at the crowd once more, hoping that what he saw was reality. But still, he did not see Han Liangyi there at the moment. He sighed and looked at Song Quon while nodding.

"Alright, come!" said Song Quon.

Liu Chen immediately followed Song Quon jumping from the roof of the house that was not too high. They also went straight from there.

After a long run from the village, they finally arrived in front of a house that looks unkempt. There are plants running through the house. The house also looks old.

Liu Chen stared strangely at Song Quon, "Why are we here? Aren't we going home? Are you taking me to stay in a place like this?"

Song Quon shook his head, "Follow me, there is a portal that will make us return to our world. Surely we must have a token for the portal to be created. I also have the token. There was someone who kept the token haphazardly on the table, so I immediately picked it up.

Maybe he didn't need the token to just store it on the table hehe, wasn't I lucky?", Song Quon immediately chuckled.

"Say you stole from a demon!", Liu Chen chuckled softly. "Then, let's hurry. I want to come back soon, living in enemy territory makes me uncomfortable"

Song Quon nodded. They entered the house that looked old.

When they are inside, they can see that inside it looks dirty and unkempt. The vines run down the walls of the house. There are also visible spider nests.

"This place is so dirty, why would they make a portal in a place like this?" liu Chen said strangely.

"Maybe not draw attention. Not many demons know where and how to enter our world, such a possibility", Song Quon shrugged both his shoulders.

"Then how do you use the token you were referring to? Do you know how?", Liu Chen looked towards Song Quon and waited for an answer from the young man.

"Of course I know, I got that information from some demon soldiers", Song Quon smiled confidently.

Liu Chen nodded, "Then do it so quickly. Let no demon see us here"

"Without you telling me, I already knew it", Song Quon immediately walked to a table not far from him. He immediately attached the token he carried on a flat table surface.

Shortly after, the token shone. In just a few seconds, the visible light on the token disappeared, replaced by a portal located on the wall of the house.

"It really worked?!", Liu Chen was now standing beside Song Quon.

He embraced the young man beside him and smiled at him, "You are great, Quon! We don't need to be here anymore, it's all thanks to you!", said Liu Chen in spirit.

"Hehe, it's no big deal" Song Quon immediately smiled confidently.

"Then, let's go in. We have to get going"

Song Quon nodded immediately. The two entered into a portal that appeared on the wall of the room.

Now Liu Chen and Song Quon reappeared in the throne room. It was very quiet without any sound.

"We made it, Quon!", pleased Liu Chen. Because he was too happy, even he did not realize to directly hug his friend.

"Chen, what are you doing?!", surprised Song Quon.

Liu Chen immediately regained his senses, even scratching his non-itchy head while chuckling, "Hehe, I'm sorry Quon. I didn't mean it"

Song Quon looked at Liu Chen strangely and could not believe what the young man was saying.

Noticing that gaze, Liu Chen said, "Don't think strangely of me. I really did not accidentally, ti..dak.se..nga.ja.ja.you understand?"

Song Quon immediately nodded quickly, "Sorry"

"That's it, the most important thing is that we are now out of that world! Although the place has a thick enough Qi, but I feel uncomfortable there because it is enemy territory"

Song Quon simply nodded.

"That day, where have you been?" liu Chen asked as he looked at Song Quon.

"Ah, that.I went to that village again to look for information. Surely I'm watching them from afar"

"So you know about the situation in the center of that village?"

"Hm? Which was? I'm watching not near the village center, I'm just watching on the edge of the village"

"Then why didn't I find you?"

"Em.maybe when you went into the village, I went a little from there to meet you who was then, I thought you were still in the woods. So you didn't meet me because of that"

"Em.all right, I believe"

"Now let's get out of here as soon as possible. Here is still the demon territory, so it is possible that there will be demons coming out of the portal, as well as those who will enter the portal so that they must come into this palace first"

Liu Chen nodded at Song Quon's words. It is not time they attacked. Especially if a demon general were to come, then Liu Chen could not handle it. His strength was still weak at the moment, while a demon general was extremely strong. Although it was certainly still weaker than the Demon Emperor.

After being far enough away from the palace, Liu Chen stopped his steps and looked at Song Quon, "Then what about Liangyi?"

Song Quon immediately replied, "He must have come out of that palace already. Maybe now he's gone out because we've been in the demon world all day. So Liangyi must have left"

Liu Chen looked somewhat disappointed, "So then, it seems like he left"

"You look disappointed, what's the matter?", Song Quon looked at Liu Chen in surprise.

Liu Chen smiled awkwardly, "Nothing, never mind. We have to go now!"

Song Quon nodded. They ran back. Now the day seems to be noon with the sun right above the head.

A few weeks had passed after the incident, Liu Chen and Song Quon were now in a city called Melati city.

The city of Melati has a dominant building has a white color. Melati City was also a sizable city in this Yang empire. Melati City is famous for its pills which are quite a lot and have pills up to the middle level.

Pill level:

* Low

* Intermediate

* Height

* Legend

A pill with a legend level was the highest tier of pills. It almost never exists again today. That said, there was no longer an alchemist capable of making pills of that level.

A pill with an intermediate level alone was already quite rare. But in Melati city, pills with intermediate level were pretty much found.

Since Melati city was called a medicine city, then many cultivators went to Melati city to buy pills there.

Currently Liu Chen had already obtained the new members he had met in Melati city. She was a girl with blue hair and also an older sister of that girl who was a man with blue hair.

Her name was Wu Xianlun. While the young man who was her brother was Wu Anming. They followed Liu Chen because, that young man had given them a lot of help.

At first they were just street beggars that even eating was difficult. Both of their parents have died because of an incident. But now they can get a decent meal and can get it every day. Not only that, even Liu Chen gave them the resources to make them stronger. So they chose to follow Liu Chen no matter what. For them, the young man was a savior.

Liu Chen did not care if the two people wanted to follow him, he also did want the two to join him. Because both of them have considerable talent.

Liu Chen also distributed resources to Song Quon. In order for his friend to level up quickly, he had no idea that Song Quon had such a high level of cultivation. As Liu Chen knew, Song Quon was only at the Qi Foundation level. So Liu Chen wanted to help his friend develop.

Wu Xianlun had a 5-star Qi foundation cultivation level in just a few weeks. While her brother, Wu Anming level Qi foundation was 8-star.

If other people know about their development only takes a few weeks, then they will vomit blood because they are too surprised.

The four of them were currently touring the city of Melati. More precisely, they were currently going towards the association of the silver moon. Because Liu Chen wanted to order a lot of clothes.

Not ordinary clothes. These clothes were usually worn by sect masters. Because these clothes can protect a person from attack. It depends on the quality of the clothing itself, as well as how strong the attacks that lead to it are.

Liu Chen wanted to give such clothes to his group. Certainly not only for the four of them, but also with Zong Xian, Zhang Jiangwu, Yang Jia Li and the other members.

After arriving, they directly entered into the association branch of the silver moon.

Liu Chen immediately approached a female guard who was there, "Can I meet the manager?"

The woman looked at Liu Chen from top to bottom in full search. "Sorry sir, what business do you want to meet our manager for?"

"Take me to see him. There's something I want to offer him", Liu Chen smiled.

For a moment, the woman was enchanted with Liu Chen's smile. But he immediately responded to the young man before him, "Then, let's follow me sir"

Liu Chen nodded, turning his gaze to Song Quon, Wu Xianlun, and Wu Anming. "You just wait here, you can choose the weapons you like. I'll pay for it"

"But-"

Wu Xianlun's words were cut off by Liu Chen, "Take it as a gift for you", Liu Chen immediately left with the guard lady.

"In that case, I won't hesitate!" said Wu Anming who looked happy and excited.

"Sister.", Wu Xianlun smiled wryly looking at her brother.

"Chen said it, didn't he? In that case, let's go find a good sword!", Song Quon went straight from there and immediately saw the place of the weapon section.

Wu Anming followed Song Quon, as did Wu Xianlun.

"I will always follow Mr. Chen, because master is my helper and sister" Wu Anming said with a smile.

They chose their own weapons. There were all sorts of weapons present in this association of the silver moon. The levels are different, the highest is only the middle level here.

But there are also some high levels, of course, the weapon is sold at an expensive price.

Song Quon held a sword with a black handle. The sword looks like the night sky. It looks elegant and beautiful with some bright color dots like stars. It's like the night sky.

"Good sword, this is also a high-level sword. Although not as great as a sky-level sword as Chen's, but I like it" Song Quon muttered with a smile.

Wu Xianlun seemed to choose a pair of daggers with bright red handles. The dagger was adorned by beautiful carvings of roses. "I like it! This dagger feels comfortable to hold. This dagger was also at the middle level", Wu Xianlun smiled happily.

A few minutes later, Liu Chen came with a guard woman and a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was the manager of this branch of the silver moon association.

"When do you think the clothes I ordered are finished?" ask Liu Chen.

The manager smiled, "Maybe about 2 weeks. Because of the clothes that the young master ordered very much"

Liu Chen nodded, "No problem", he directed his gaze at his three friends.

"Are the pills I gave you enough to pay for the weapons they chose?"

"Of course young master, you gave us many precious pills. Everything is enough when coupled with the weapon of the young master's friend"

Liu Chen nodded and smiled, "Hey guys, let's go home. Our business here is done. We'll just wait another 2 weeks"

The three friends turned their heads towards Liu Chen, they immediately approached the young man.

"Master Chen, is it alright for me to choose this intermediate-tier weapon?" wu Xianlun said as she showed the dagger she was holding.

"Of course, the weapon you chose I paid for. Don't keep calling me master, just call brother Chen or brother Chen. You understand?", Liu Chen immediately stroked Wu Xianlun's head and smiled.

Wu Xianlun nodded, "Okay, Brother Chen", he smiled.

Liu Chen removed his arms from Wu Xianlun's head, and turned his gaze to Wu Anming. "You call me brother Chen"

"Of course", Wu Anming nodded and smiled. "You're very kind to us, we'll definitely repay your kindness"

"Chen, you're too good. With people you didn't know, you gave them resources and a very decent life" Song Quon's inner voice as he looked at Liu Chen.

Liu Chen immediately invited his friend to go home. He also paid his respects to the association manager and left immediately after that.
