Legend Of The Dragon Phoenix Warrior - 44 Setting off

Chapter 44

Zhang You was irate. He had burn marks all over his body and was still coughing up blood. He had been in such a rush to escape that he take the time to heal his wounds. Those mortals were so weak, but their weapons craftsmen were very skilled. They were able to arm, what Zhang You considered ants, to be able to repel his attacks.

As Zhang You return thru the portal to the Sacred Abyss world he glanced in the direction of the barrier. He couldn’t sense anything from there, so he decided to leave this area. His mother’s brother was a very powerful slave trader. It would take him a couple weeks to get to his uncle’s estate, but when he told him of this new world, he was sure his uncle would rush there as soon as possible. Not only would his uncle lay waste to the mortals and collect thousands of new slaves, he would greatly reward Zhang You for leading him there. Not only would Zhang You exact his revenge on that world he would be able to collect enough resources from his uncle to advance straight into the Solid Core stage. Zhang You laughed hysterically as he envisioned the demise of those mortals.

“Now that you are ready to leave I will help guide you on the way.” Shanggu Feng said excited to be heading home.

Chen Zhen went to Mei Ling’s shack to see if they were all ready. Before he even got there they all came out him. They all looked around the clearing one last time. This is all Chen Zhen has known for a home since he arrived in this world. All though only a little over month had gone by Chen Zhen had grown attached to this little clearing in the woods. The kids ran around one last time playing tag, their laughter rang like clear bells in the air. When they got to the barrier they all paused and looked back together.

“My ancestor prepared a small surprise for you when you reached this level and were ready to leave. Consider this and advancement gift.” Shanggu Feng said to Chen Zhen.

“What do you mean?”

“I’ll explain after you step out of the barrier,” Shanggu Feng was enjoying teasing Chen Zhen.

Everyone stepped outside the barrier.

“Now place you hand against the barrier and circulate your energy into the barrier” Shanggu Feng told Chen Zhen.

When Chen Zhen did As Shanggu Feng said, he first felt a strong pull on his energy. Just as soon as it started it stopped. Then everyone heard a loud click, as if something had just been unlocked. To everyone but Shanggu Feng’s surprise the barrier shrunk until it was a clear orb that rested in Chen Zhen’s palm. When you looked deeply into the orb you could see the clearing inside of it.

“Shanggu Julong made this little world portal for you as your advancement gift. Now you can enter it whenever you rest for the night as you travel. I wouldn’t recommend using it in area where there are a lot of people. Your strength is still considered quite weak in this world. If someone very powerful notices you exiting a portal barrier world, they will see you as a values descendant of a powerful sect or clan. You maybe kidnapped and held for ransom. This is a very common occurrence in this world. So be careful as you use it.” Shanggu Feng warned Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen nodded his head in acknowledgement. He knew this journey would be quite perilous for them. Even though he was strong for someone who just entered the Liquid Core Stage, he was only at the Liquid Core Stage. There were many powerful bandits and thieves that had reached the Solid Core Stage or Higher. Chen Zhen looked over at Mei Ling and the kids with a heavy heart. He hoped they wouldn’t encounter and danger that he wasn’t able to handle on his own. He still had the battle puppet that Shanggu Julong left him, but Chen Zhen knew that in the end he could only really rely on himself.

Nathan was trying to think of a way out of Janet’s estate without being seen by the government agents. Janet on the other hand was very calm and relaxed.

“You can let them in, I will be out in a second.” Janet said to her bodyguard thru the door.

She turn to Nathan and told him to remain here in her office till she came back. Janet lifted some papers off of her desk and left the office to go meet the agents.

When Janet got to the balcony overlooking the foyer there were agents already heading up the stairs toward her, while others were heading into the different room on the first floor. The female agent that was in charge was directing the agents to do a thorough search of every room in the house. When She saw Janet coming down the stairs she smugly waved the warrant in her face.

“This warrant give me permission to search you premises. Please stand aside and let my agents do there job.” The female agent said glaring down her nose at Janet.

“Under what grounds?” Janet asked calmly.

“Your public broadcast was a breach of national security. You are suspected of housing terrorist in you home. The number one terrorist on the most wanted list right now is your head of security Nathan Daniels.” The female agent felt self-righteous announcing that Nathan was a wanted criminal.

“Under what grounds is Nathan being accused of being a terrorist? What proof do you have to validate you allegations?” Janet asked.

“I don’t need proof. I say he is a terrorist, so he is one. He is wanted in questioning for what he discovered at the crash site. That information is of utmost importance to national security.” The female agent said thru gritted teeth. She was getting pissed off by Janet’s continued questioning.

“You and your men can leave now. This is a cease-and-desist order my lawyer arranged for me today. In it, it outlines and specifies that you continued harassment and defamation of character of myself and my employees has violated our rights. You can choose to ignore it, but I believe that Judge Jones would love to knock you agency down a peg or two.” Janet said with a condescending smile on her face.

Judge Jones had been very public recently on the abuse of government agency since 9/11. He made it his personal agenda to have legislation put in place to correct what he call, “Heinous misuse of government power on American citizens.” The female agent knew she couldn’t just throw her weight around like she wished. She didn’t know that Janet and Judge Jones were so closely connected.

“Everyone out!! We are done for now,” she yelled to her agents, then looking at Janet she said, “This isn’t over yet, Ms. Miller. We will get our hands on Mr. Daniels, and there is nothing you or any lawyer can do about it.”

With that the female agent spun on her heals and left Janet’s house. Janet stood there watching her leave knowing that this was just the beginning. That woman wouldn’t be happy till she turned their lived upside down. Janet had a lot to do and a very little amount of time to do it in.

“Sweep the house for bugs or any other devices that left behind. No is to disturb me for the rest of the night.” Janet said while walking back upstairs to her office.
