Shadow Mask Group
62 - Liu Chen II

Han Liangyi, Zong Xian and Zong Dian were still inside Liu Chen's room at the moment.

"Why is the air getting colder?" said Zong Dian.

"That's it, when it's not usually like this" Zong Xian said.

Suddenly, the temperature in the room grew colder. The floors, walls and items that were around Liu Chen started to freeze.

"What's going on?" muttered Zong Xian.

"This.. What is Chen's strength? " inner Han Liangyi. He looked at Liu Chen.

Now, it was not just the objects around Liu Chen that were frozen. But the clot is expanding to make the room freeze and make the temperature cooler.

"Xian'er gege, I'm cold" said Zong Dian.

"Then you get out of here Dian'er"

Zong Dian nodded. He also intends to go out. However, the entrance was already frozen. So he couldn't open it. "Xian'er gege, the door's frozen. I can't open this door"

Zong Xian walked over to his sister. He clenched his hands and punched straight at the frozen door to smash the ice. He thought, by hitting the door it can destroy his ice But it turned out wrong, the ice was not destroyed at all. But there's a little crack in the ice.

Zong Xian was wide-eyed when he saw that his punch could not shatter ice at all. Though he had already punched him with quite a lot of Qi. "How hard is this ice?" muttered.

"Can't Xian'er gege break the ice?" said Zong Dian. When he spoke, his mouth let out a white smoke sign that it was quite cold.

Zong Xian stared at Zong Dian and shook his head, "I can't break this ice. If Dian'er's cold, just hold my hand"

Zong Dian immediately held Zong Xian's hand. After holding the young man's hand, his hand felt warm, simply reducing his current coldness.

Surely Zong Xian was using his Qi to warm his body. Because he's also pretty cold.

Han Liangyi was still standing near the lying Liu Chen. He used his Qi to avoid being cold. He also continued to take Liu Chen seriously. "What happened to her? "

Slowly, Liu Chen's closed eyes immediately opened. He changed his lying position to sit. He looked around and was surprised because the surroundings froze.

"Ice control:melting"

Instantly, the surrounding ice instantly evaporated and slowly the frozen room had returned to normal.

Finally Han Liangyi, Zong Xian and Zong Dian were not cold anymore. "Huft.", they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally you're aware too, Chen" Han Liangyi said.

Liu Chen looked towards the voice. He just showed a flat expression, and he said, "When have I been unconscious?"

"You've been unconscious for 3 months. You're making us worry. What the hell is going on with you?" han Liangyi. Zong Xian and Zong Dian now began to walk closer towards Liu Chen.

"Just a little trouble. No need to worry about me. I'm fine" Liu Chen said with a flat expression.

Han Liangyi and Zong Xian frowned as they felt that Liu Chen's nature had changed somewhat, "What happened to you? I think your nature has changed somewhat" Zong Xian said.

"Nothing" Liu Chen said.

"Sister Chen I'm sorry, because of me you became like this and were impressed. Because of Brother Chen, I am still alive and met Xian'er gege" Zong Dian said with a smile.

Liu Chen just nodded. He looked at Zong Xian, "I want to hear why you killed the empress, Xian"

"What does it have to do with you? It's my personal problem. So you don't have to interfere. Let me finish it" Zong Xian said.

Liu Chen looked at Zong Xian coldly, "Have you forgotten what I said back then? If any member of the group gets into trouble, then I will try my best to help him. So now say it"

Zong Xian gulped his saliva when he saw Liu Chen's cold gaze. He felt that Liu Chen's nature had indeed changed somewhat. "Alright" Zong Xian nodded his head.

"The color I want to make the old man feel what I feel. Losing, losing a valuable person.

When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me how she met my dad. He also told me how they were doing everyday. I always ask where my father is. Mom always answered that my dad was away, she also said that dad would definitely come back and see me.

I always wait for him. Mother too. It was as if he was looking forward to his arrival. Then one day an incident happened. When I came home after playing with my friend, I was going to see my mother.

You guys know what's going on? I saw my mother hanging by a neck tied to a rope. I can't believe what I saw at the time. My mother committed suicide.

I also saw a piece of paper placed on the table. I started reading it. There was an apology written because he couldn't accompany me anymore. Then there is also written what the reason he did it.

Do you know the reason? The reason my mother did that was because of disappointment with my father. It says that my father married another woman. Even he already has a child.

Mother also wrote down the true identity of my father, of which he was Emperor Yang. He only found out at that time, too.

My mother has been waiting for her arrival for years. When he came back, he didn't make my mom happy. But it made him sad and angry. Just think about it, the wait my mother has been waiting for so many years isn't it useless?

In his last letter it was also written that the father did not know that he had a child from my mother. Because my mother was holding me when my father was leaving. So my mom hasn't been able to tell him about me either.

After my mother's death, I was adopted as a child by my neighbors. To be exact, Dian'er's mother and father. I then stayed at their house. Since my mother's death, I have been a quiet child and always cry when alone in my room.

Dian'er's mom and dad don't seem to have the heart to see me continue like that. Then one day Dian'er's father came to see me. He's got my forehead. Then, all the memories I have are sealed because of him.

Since then 'had I assumed that Dian'er's father and mother were really my family. I don't remember anything about my mother. Dian'er's father and mother gave me a surname from their family and changed my name"

Zong Xian ended his story. His gaze looked sad and angry at the same time. "Now you know why I did that. Actually, the old man's the bad one. She just left my mom"

Han Liangyi was shocked as well as Zong Dian. They did not expect that Zong Xian's father was Emperor Yang.

"Hm.. Means you are the elder brother of Jia Li" Liu Chen said. He didn't look surprised at all. His expression was still flat.

"Well, I don't want to admit it. But it is true, Jia Li is my younger brother. Because we are from the same father" Zong Xian said.

"You better tell Jia Li your reason and tell him about your incident" Liu Chen said.

"I'm sure he won't believe it. I was also sure that he would not forgive me for my own reasons alone" Zong Xian said.

"Then, what are you going to do?"

"I'll just stay here and train the bandits I've conquered to fight the demon race"

"We don't need to fight the demon race anymore"

Zong Xian was surprised to hear Liu Chen say, "What do you mean?! Do you want to betray our group?!"

Liu Chen shook his head, "They won't attack humans anymore, perhaps"

"Whatchu mean? Why do you think like that?", astonished Zong Xian.

"It looks like he got a memory from the demon prince. Maybe because it is also a bit changed. But as I slightly looked at the prince's past, he wasn't as flat-headed as Chen is today. Then what happened to her? " inner Han Liangyi who was watching and listening to the words of the two young men carefully.

Zong Xian paused for a moment, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, why are you so sure that the Demon Emperor will obey your words? He is hostile to man. Then with just your word, can stop the war later and make the demon race at peace with humans? Haha, Chen don't make it up. What makes you confident can keep the demon race from waging war on humans?", Zong Xian shook his head in disbelief.

"My color is the demon prince" Liu Chen said.

Zong Xian continued to assume that what Liu Chen said was a lie, "Haha, don't joke"

Zong Dian himself did not understand anything about what these two young men were discussing.

"Already expected, he had already obtained the memory of the "inner prince Han Liangyi. She smiled faintly, "Then I won't get into trouble. Even the demon race that was chasing me would not punish me "

"It's up to you to believe it or not. Because this will indeed be difficult to be trusted by others" Liu Chen said.

"I believe, because I've been looking for a little bit about you and I've made sure you're the prince of the devil. In that case, you should immediately talk to the Emperor in order to stop the war that they will be waging" Han Liangyi said.

"Hey, why do you believe that?" zong Xian said in surprise as he looked at Han Liangyi.

"I've been looking for some things about him. You want to know a truth that I'm hiding?", Han Liangyi smiled obliquely.

Zong Xian raised next to his brows. "Not really, because it certainly does not matter" he said.

"Yes, I don't want to tell you either. I just want to tell Chen" said Han Liangyi, who was no less indifferent.

"As for you, I don't care"

Liu Chen was silent to see the two young men fighting. He took out a pill and swallowed it. He also sat cross-legged on the bed. Liu Chen finally finished absorbing the efficacy of the pill.

His feet came down from the bed. But still sitting on the edge of the bed, he stared at Zong Xian. "You train the bandits you need. But not to attack the demon race. But to protect this world from any evil"

Zong Xian raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

"Don't I tell you? I am the prince of the devil. So you should not attack the demon race, since it is likely that they are back to attacking humans a little at the moment" Liu Chen said flatly.

"Don't joke Chen", Zong Xian still didn't accept Liu Chen's statement.

"I will return to the headquarters and reorganize the group", Liu Chen began to stand up.

"Eh? Are you okay?"

Liu Chen nodded. "The bandits you train will be the attacking division"

"Eh? All right, so you want to reorganize the group?"

Liu Chen nodded, "Effort not to meet Jia Li or anyone who is after you. Because there will be many people after you because of the gifts that the Emperor will give. You also have to be careful with the bandits you need. Although they have already recognized you as their leader, but they could have betrayed you and brought you to the Emperor"

Zong Xian nodded in understanding. "I understand, I will train my subordinates. Don't tell anyone about my whereabouts"

"I know, please take me out"

Zong Xian nodded. The four of them walked out from inside the bandit headquarters. Some bandits saw them. The bandit bowed his head in respect to Zong Xian.

Zong Xian himself only nodded his head in a nod.

Eventually, they arrived outside the base. They look at each other.

"Sister Chen heartily on the way, huh?" said Zong Dian.

Liu Chen nodded. "You're also heart-hearted here"

Zong Dian nodded and smiled, "Sure!"

"What happened to Chen? Its nature has changed greatly. Even what I know, the demon prince was not up to this "inner Han Liangyi.

"Is Chen really the demon prince? I just found out that the Demon Emperor once married and had children. It was hard to believe "inner Zong Xian.

Liu Chen stared at Zong Xian, "I will make 4 divisions in a group"

"Hm? What are they?", puzzled Zong Xian.

"Defense division, attackers, assassins and information" Liu Chen said.

Zong Xian nodded his head in a nod, "So now our group's goal is not to protect humans from the demon race? But protecting people from any evil that exists in this world"

Liu Chen nodded, "There is one dangerous creature that is likely to be at the same level as the Demon Emperor in this world"

Zong Xian became clueless, "What do you mean?"

"You'll find out later, see you", Liu Chen just left.

"Goodbye, Brother Chen, be careful on the road. Thank you for all that Brother Chen has done for me and Xian'er gege!" zong Dian shouted as he waved his hand.

Liu Chen just nodded.

"Hey wait for me Chen! Why do you always leave me?!", cried Han Liangyi. He was chasing Liu Chen.

"One dangerous creature of the demon emperor's level? What kind of creature does Chen mean? " inner Zong Xian. He continued to look at Liu Chen's back which was getting further away.

After a few minutes of continuous walking without any chatter, Liu Chen and Han Liangyi had already reached outside the forest. It looks like afternoon.

"Are you really healthy, Chen? If not, do not force yourself" said Han Liangyi who was a bit anxious. Liu Chen just woke up. But now we have to continue our journey home.

Liu Chen nodded and looked towards Han Liangyi, "Are you worried about me?"

"Ma-where is there?!" refute Han Liangyi.

Liu Chen said nothing more. He just kept walking. "Shadow steps: the first stage"

Liu Chen suddenly disappeared because he used a shadow step that could accelerate the movement.

"Euhh?! Why was I left behind by him again?!", Han Liangyi used a technique that could speed up his run.

His running speed was no less than Liu Chen's running speed. Han Liangyi was already beside the young man, "Chen what exactly happened to you? Your nature has changed somewhat. Don't don't, it's because of the memory of the demon prince?" han Liangyi said with worry. He did not want the Liu Chen he knew to change. Because he preferred the Liu Chen he knew. Friendly and generous smiles to others. Also, too good a man.

It was not the current Liu Chen who only displayed an emotionless flat expression. It was as if he no longer had any emotions.

"Maybe it's just your feelings" Liu Chen said.

Inwardly, he laughed out loud, "Hahaha, is he worried that my nature will change? Haha where is possible. My acting was so good that it made them think I really changed, haha. You guys did it "

Han Liangyi did not know at all, that Liu Chen was just pretending to change. But his nature has not changed. Liu Chen only wanted to prank Han Liangyi and Zong Xian. He wanted to know how the two boys reacted.
