The Legend of Zhu San
304: The Red Continent
Chairman Jie Mei who was no longer angry with Zhu San after learning from Lian Li that the figure that almost desecrated her two disciples was the Dark Side of Zhu San, immediately approached Bian Chi's husband.
“San’er I just got bad news, the Fourth Capital of the Empire that is united with the White Stream Alliance, is on the verge of collapse. I was asked by Chairman Gong Fei to convey this to you as soon as you came out of the Soul Realm. Besides chief gong Fei also asked all of us to unite in the Holy Sword sect as soon as possible.”
Zhu San's forehead wrinkled after hearing the news from Chairman Jie Mei. Not unexpectedly, a month after his departure to the Soul Realm, the Situation of the Upper World had been so changed.
Zhu San immediately told everyone to hold hands and connect with himself and Bian Chi. Then they were asked to close their eyes and not open them before He commanded them.
A moment later the atmosphere of the Sacred Lake became silent as the disappearance of hundreds of Blue Lotus Sect Members from the place.
Their arrival in such an unusual manner, naturally shocked everyone in the Sacred Sword Sect. Dozens of residents crashed from his place, as Zhu San appeared in the Sect Square He was protecting.
Chairman Jie Mei opened her eyes after hearing the cue from Zhu San with her mouth open, when in just a few seconds they had arrived at the Sacred Sword Sect. He wouldn't believe it if he hadn't experienced it himself.
“Welcome Protector!”
Xi Tong's voice distracted Zhu San who was being shocked by the large number of residents in the square of the Sacred Sword Sect. It signifies that the situation of the upper world has deteriorated.
Xi Tong immediately stood up from his knees, He also asked Zhu San to enter the Sect Hall room where Chairman Gong Fei was holding a meeting with Long Niu and dozens of new Sect chiefs and Elders who had come to escort thousands of displaced residents.
“Protectors! Welcome Back To The Sacred Sword Sect!”
Seeing Zhu San and Bian Chi coming, Chairman Gong Fei immediately stood up from his chair to kneel down and salute. It made All the Sect Chiefs shocked to see it.
Chairman Gong Fei immediately woke up after Zhu San asked him to stand up and return to sit on the Chairman's chair.
Zhu San and Bian Chi immediately walked up to Long Niu and knelt in his salute to their Master. The thing that came back made everyone present stunned to see it.
The Elders of the Sacred Sword Sect, immediately stood up and gave their seats to Zhu San and Bian Chi, Chairman Jie Mei and Lian Li as well as White Phoenix and his sister.
“Sorry for our late arrival. Chairman Fei what is the current situation?”
Chairman Gong Fei immediately stood up after hearing Zhu San's Explanation. He then explained in an outline about the situation of the High World which was very chaotic.
The Black Continent had been ruled by the Demon Lords allied with Emperor Cong He within the past four days. While in the Red Continent the situation was precarious.
Only two Imperial Capitals still survived, the other region had been within the power of the Dark Alliance which consisted of Black Stream Swordsman and Demon of various types.
Meanwhile, in the Blue Continent, part of the territory was controlled by Emperor Cong He's Army and the Dark Alliance who continued to urge the retreat of the White Stream alliance troops who helped the Empire's forces.
Perhaps in two more days they would soon arrive at the city of Xiangqing the Imperial Capital of Xiang which was in the Northern part of the Blue Continent.
While Gouping City which was the Capital of the Gan Empire might be attacked after they conquered the two Imperial Capitals located in the Red Continent namely the Jiao Empire and the Qiang Empire.
According to Chairman Gong Fei maybe in the next two or three days the Red Continent will be successfully overrun by the Dark Alliance.
For that reason Emperor Gan Mo had evacuated his residents to the Sacred Sword Sect and the towns and villages that were around the territory of the Sacred Sword Sect.
Likewise with Emperor Xiang Lu who was in the North of the Blue Continent, He had evacuated most of the population to the Sacred Sword Sect which was in the middle of the Blue Continent.
”Chairman Fei .. Is the White Stream Alliance and the Empire outnumbered by opponents so easily they can win?”
“Protectors .. Regarding the number, we are adrift not far, maybe their number is only doubled but their strength is many times that of the strength of the soldiers and warriors we have.”
Zhu San let out a long sigh hearing Chairman Gong Fei's explanation. He stood up and after a moment of silence he expressed his opinion.
“Chairman Fei, the four of us are going to the Red Continent first. See if we can help the situation there. Unfortunately I can't be in a place I've never been before quickly.”
“Tuan .. We are both ready to drop off Master and the others to Jiaoxing and Qian’an city. Only two cities that still survive to this day.”
The White Phoenix's words made Zhu San smile.
“Phoenix needs, I'm counting on you to take us there. Chi’er, Li’er .. You two come with me to the Red Continent with the White Phoenix. Blue Phoenix, you stay here to help Master and the others, in case of a bad situation, meet us. I believe in your strength and your Brother in terms of flying speed.”
The Blue Phoenix immediately honored him as a sign that he was responding to Zhu San's orders.
“Teacher and others, will it stay here or will it help the Emperor in defending the Blue Continent?”
Zhu San's question was actually a command of the strategy He had devised, but He likened it to a question.
“San’er .. We have agreed that we will help the other Two Empires and divide the two Alliance forces that are here.”
Zhu San sounded satisfied to hear the Master's reply.”Teacher ... If so We will go to the Red Continent Soon. We leave first.”
Zhu San immediately stood up and said goodbye to Everyone. Chairman Jie Mei asked Zhu San to look after Lian Li. Zhu San simply smiled in agreement to the request.
The White Phoenix immediately changed its form into a Giant Phoenix Bird upon their arrival in the square of the Sacred Sword Sect ushered in by dozens of others.
Riding the White Phoenix, Zhu San, Bian Chi and Lian Li departed for the Red Continent. Zhu San smiled faintly at the speed that White Phoenix was showing. His speed was only half of the speed he had.
“I'll give him a God's Apple so that White phoenix's speed can match my speed. And also raise his power level.”
Only half an hour had they arrived at Jiaoxing City, the Imperial Capital of Jiao which was in the North of the Red Continent.
The situation of the city made Zhu San feel furious that the imperial Capital of Jiao had been surrounded from the four corners by the Thousand Demon and Dark Alliance's Swordsman.
But Zhu San was suddenly stunned as he sensed an aura of distinct power emanating strongly from the dozens of demons that were at the Late-stage Swordsman Level.
“Chi’er .. Do you also feel this Strange power?” Zhu San asked Bian Chi who seemed to be asking the same thing.
“I also felt it San Gege. Could it be that the powers of those demons came from the Labamba Witch and Labimbi from that other Universe?”
Zhu San became convinced that the strange power emanating from dozens of demons of various types, came from the Ancient Witch who came from another Universe, as described by the God Yao Chan.
