Chapter 65: The Evil God.
Chapter 65: The Evil God.
"I'm sorry about my colleague. She is very hot tempered sometimes. Do you mind If I ask for your name? I am Bai Fu. You can just call me old Fu if that works better for you." He smiled gently. He had the kind of face that made you feel like you could trust him with anything.
Was it some form of cultivation or was he genuinely a nice man despite his power? Haru hesitated for a moment as he thought about giving him a fake name. But decided there was no harm in giving him his real name. "I am Haru Kitagawa. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said and then looked at the Director who was still frozen.
"Oh, You don't have to worry. He isn't dead. We are just restraining him. We come from the national association of cultivation. We felt the fight going on here and came to investigate. We put this young guy in charge here a few years ago and we have had many reports that he has been abusing the power that we gave him. So I would like to thank you. If it wasn't for you standing your ground against his corrupt force we wouldn't have had the evidence we needed to punish him." The old man spoke again.
The man who looked like he was tired then pulled out a small wooden box from his pocket. It was about the size of a smartphone. A large amount of Qi began to form from the area in front of Haru and then the Director flew up into the sky before disappearing inside the box.
Haru stepped back at the sight. Did they just capture him in a imprisoning device? He thought and then started thinking about escaping. Could he even escape if he wanted to? He wondered before the man holding the box spoke.
"Don't tell me you have never seen a life suspension box? I thought all the newbies got a handbook. Unless..." He began to speak. "That's enough. We aren't here to capture people. For all, we know he could be a sect disciple. We can't just suspect people of breaking laws." The woman spoke and then a sinister smile formed on her face.
"So kid, What sect are you from? I have remembered all of the faces of every member of our association. And I haven't seen you before. If you don't answer then I will suspect you are in violation of failure to enrol yourself as a cultivator. It is punishable by fifty years in prison. So think carefully." She smiled even more now. There was a hint of blood lust in her eyes.
This woman was definitely one of those crazed psychopaths who want to watch the world burn. Haru looked at the old man. He nodded his head back at Haru. He was saying there was nothing he could do. It all rested in his hands now.
"Come on. I will give you ten seconds." She began to count down. Haru looked at the guy with the wooden box. He began to pour Qi into it.
"Fine. I am from The Black Star Sect." He wasn't actually a member but he was sure that the sect master would back him up if they went to him to ask for proof. The woman's eyes instantly went from hatred to fear. The old man seemed to share the same fear.
But the man with the wooden box hadn't heard of this name before. He was confused. "The Black Star Sect? What is that?" He said. The old man and woman immediately flew away and landed by Haru's side. The man now looked even more confused. "What?" A large roar washed over the city.
The ground began to vibrate as a large thunder cloud appeared. Lightning began striking the ground all over. Haru looked up confused. He also didn't know what was happening. But both the old man and woman were shaking in fear. The man with the wooden box froze. His mouth was wide open as he stood still.
"What's happening?" Haru asked but there was no reply from the old man and woman. Haru ran over to the array and pulled Chen out of it. He picked him up and then walked back over to the old man and woman.
The clouds opened up quickly and a beam of sunlight shone down on the man. "Who dares to utter the name of our might sect!?" A voice shouted out. The ground shook with every word. The voice sounded familiar but Haru couldn't quite recognise where he had heard it.
Suddenly a large hand pushed its way through the hole in the clouds. It looked like it was made out of pure darkness and then shot down to where the man was stood. The building beneath him vaporised and there was nothing left in the spot where he was stood.
"Who else dares to mention our mighty name?!" The voice shouted once again. The old man and woman flew away from Haru fearing for their lives. "Wait. Who are you?" Haru asked. The hole in the clouds suddenly vanished along with the hand and a golden eye peeped through the cloud down at Haru.
"I remember you. You are that child who the Sect master brought in. Haru was it?" The voice shouted again. "Yeah. But who are you?" Haru shouted back. The was no reply for a few moments.
"That's right. I didn't introduce myself to you at the time. Do you remember when you came into the Elder hall? I was on the right of the sect master." The voice boomed out again but this time sounded more friendly.
Haru thought back and then remembered there were two more people in the room at the time. "Oh yeah, I remember you now. How is everything back there?" Haru shouted back up into the sky. The old man and woman were both shivering in fear.
"It's going quite well actually. When you left we picked up an amazing disciple from the group you were in. She's called Remi. Do you know her?" The elder from the black star sect asked Haru.
"Wait, Remi is still there with you guys!?" Haru was surprised. He knew she didn't have any talent for magic so who would have thought she would learn how to cultivate.
"Yes, She talks about you often. The sect master sometimes invites her into our elder hall to talk. There has been no news since you left. The last we heard you got arrested. That was almost three years ago now. I see you have progressed quite a lot." He sounded genuinely interested in Haru's progress.
"Yeah, I cultivate nearly every day. I have to if I want to catch up to people stronger than me." Haru said and then looked back at the sky. The clouds were starting to fade.
"Well, I have to go now but it's good to see you are doing good. I will let the sect master know. And I'm sure Remi will love the news. You should come back and visit us some time." His voice faded off into the distance as the clouds disappeared.
Haru looked back over to the two remaining people. The old man seemed to regain his composure but the woman was still shaking with fear. She had tears in her eyes and was now kneeling down.
"D-did you just have a conversation with the evil god?" The old man asked surprised. "The evil god? That was just one of the elders from the sect." Haru corrected him.
"So you really are a disciple of that place..." The old man said. "Yeah. Is that a problem?" Haru asked. He was confused. He still didn't know what happened.
"It's not a problem. It's just that we have never encountered anyone from there. We know of the name because our leader wrote it down in our database but anybody who speaks the name of that sect will die. It is always that man who you just spoke to. We don't know his name so we have always referred to him as the evil god. Some people are even convinced that he is a deity or some kind of guardian spirit."
"Nah, He is just an elder. There is nothing to worry about. Even his strength is nothing compared to the sect master." Haru said matter of factly whilst looking at the woman. As she heard him she shivered again. Just as she was starting to calm down she felt so much fear once again.
"You have to be kidding me? I thought he was the strongest person that this world has encountered. I have seen this happen twice before. But I never would have expected to see the evil good talk civilly with someone. Usually where ever he appears everything within a ten kilometre radius is killed. Thank you for being here. We managed to survive and save the lives of thousands of people." The old man was so panicked he stumbled over his words a few times but he sounded sincere when he said thank you.
"Come on, We need to make a report. We're going." The old man grabbed the woman who was cowering in fear by the arm and dragged her up into the sky as they flew away.
Haru was stood in the middle of all this destruction and didn't know what to do. The place was probably surrounded by police. He walked onto the main road ready to be arrested at any moment but it was silent. There were no police around. Only tire marks on the floor. It seemed like even the police were so frightened that they retreated.
Haru then walked the half mile back to Suyins house. As he entered Mrs Jiand screamed as she saw Chen over Haru's shoulder. "What happened to my baby?"
Haru scratched the back of his head. "Where do I even start?"
