The Death of Ally

He cannot reveal why he was asking about it, Zhi Chang stood up, he was going to look for the city archon after getting a rough direction from the old merchant.

"Will you take me along?" Jen asked.

"It's not that I want to leave you behind and you will agree to it, so let's move together, if I left you behind I will be worried for you," he looked at the empty horizon, he himself was not willing to leave her behind, if she stayed near him it would be more comforting.

They walked with ease discussing about the possible battle and outcome, if they were going to battle a city archon, it would definitely trigger the anger of crown and according to the rumor the crown of this Manias was a lady.

"Is it possible that the city archon was working and running shabby business without letting crown lady know?" Zhi Chang has less information about the matters of a Manias.

"For me it is hard to accept that crown lady is completely oblivious to the matter, if city archon has guts to run such a business that means he has some sort of support from her or from some elder," Jen expressed her concerns.

The working of any Manias or a central city was never a hierarchy, the city archons were always accountable in front of the crown or the elders who were appointed to keep check on such activities.

If the city archon was involved in shabby business openly that means he don't fear anyone or he was never questioned under accountability if the former reasoning was truth then it was terrible revelation, it means the crown lady or the strong elder would soon be looking for them if they killed fatty in the battle.

"The rules of Challenger Shillelagh seemed sometimes ridiculous but I think they were made for similar situations," Jen remembered about the rules and there was an idea how they should tread to not bring much trouble in future but if the trouble was looking for them then there was no reason to back down.

"What kind of rules, does junior Jen know something helpful?" he could see her thinking something.

"If senior Zhi Chang challenge that fatty city archon claiming you were offended and wanted to take revenge for the offence then no one blame if the city archon died and perhaps his death would be inevitable," Jen intentionally looked in his eyes conforming what was running in his heart about this battle, he indeed wanted to kill because he has seen Jen suffering immensely.

If he was really a cult cultivator and bullying everyone with his evil cultivation then he should be killed to save many innocents, Zhi Chang was sure that Jen would have done the same if he let her allow to decide.

"I will follow your suggestion then," they reached the nearest announcement slant, as soon as someone triggered this slant, the screens hanging in the central city would bring live the one who trigger, so anyone if wanted to announce something important would trigger this slant, basically this slant was used for the officials to get help if they were surrounded or they wanted to send message to the bigger ranks.

But the strong cultivators were also allowed to use if they wanted to challenge someone live, it would be a prove that someone was interested to defeat someone equally powerful, usually people liked to see such challenges for many reasons, the superior battles were always brought fascination among the weaker cultivator so they wished to witness such battles, this way challenger ring would be able to earn and the earning would benefit both central city and the crown.

Zhi Chang challenged live and the people of central city were listening, when did they heard someone challenge live? It was a long time, after the crown lady took hold on the matters of this Manias, they rarely saw some constructive activity in the central city, and everyone know the reason.

From his speech to his bearing, they could guess that the man was some outsider and they were curious how city archon offended him?

Now they were thinking whether to go and take a look or just stay away from this battle since most of the people were aware about the identity of the city archon and why crown lady hired him.

The city archon was informed, "Just because he was spared by chance of luck came knocking on my door?" he was regretting why the man was lucky, his woman gave up her life just to save him, he should have killed him too at the same time.

Since he was challenged and many people were waiting whether he would accept the challenge or not, to save his face he accepted the challenge.

Zhi Chang and Jen were heading toward the challenger shillelagh, fatty archon was also moving the same direction.

In the end people were unable to keep this intense curiosity and headed toward challenger shillelagh to watch this battle, the people who were less strong chose far away seats to save themselves from any sudden burst.

"Since he is cult cultivator, he would try to attack the same way or ambush, senior Zhi Chang should be careful," Jen reminded before entering in the battle ring.

"I will keep in mind," Zhi Chang assured.

The city archon came and saw the girl walking toward one of the seat, he was shocked or if said he got bewildered then this was right, he was simply unable to believe his eyes, this girl was dead, right?

Or she survived but how? It was impossible, the question was how could she survive not the one how did she survive? It was not something small thing, she needed to be at the same level of cultivation and focused to fend off his attack, else there was no chance for a mere Legend to persist.

Jen saw the city archon giving attention toward her, she glared with the fiery eyes, he immediately shifted his attention toward the man who was standing under the ring, his initial enthusiasm got crumbled and now he was looking at the man with fear in his heart, if the woman was this strong then what about the man?

The merchants of the market were also here, the old merchant took a seat next to Jen, he was here to support the young man who was courageous to challenge this fatty.

After spreading dominion, both challengers were using their techniques to suppress the other, the common cultivators only heard that city archon was a cult cultivator now they looked the horrible dominion, this dominion resembled a screaming dragon with the blood red mist, the opponent needed a strong courage to face it.

"Even if I died today, the crown lady won't let both of you go unscathed," the fatty sneered just like his crown lady as if both liked to sneer at others.

"I will make sure to let her know as soon as possible," Zhi Chang spoke unfazed by his threat which was a blow to his remaining courage, its been a long time when he was actively practicing battle prowess now he was just an empty sack with lot of confidence was crumbled first when he looked at Jen to see her alive and then this man made him fear again.

Zhi Chang brought out his weapon because his dominion was not enough against two level higher opponent, the weapon also joined in and the battle scenario changed immediately, it was said the first grade weapons were designed mystic, the clone menders who design these weapons themselves were mystic, the wielding power was always level higher and threatening depending on the material used for the mending of this weapon, just like golden almond crossbow which could turn shapes according to the will of wielder.

That crossbow was not a weapon of two lower spheres, it was from the upper sphere, it was left by an elder who was not willing to commit the villainess deed but he was compelled by his sect members, he threw a first grade weapon and it was fated for Jen from the very first day of its creation.

It was when she was seven years old and the heart cultivators of upper sphere came to lock her heart.

Zhi Chang met her that day before her heart was locked and Jen was inspired from his bearings and manners, it left a possibility for her to recognize him in the future though her dream never gave her a clue how her true husband looked like.

Both were battling on equal grounds, fatty used his vile technique to crypt his opponent, it was to direct attack his central acmes pair taking a dangerous turn, it would definitely cost damage in return.

But fatty was willing to take risk, Zhi Chang was already informed about this possibility by Jen.
