Chapter 26 - Drain

Chen Jun past few years in the agony. Maybe he was way too much cold heartedly treated him last time, that's why little Xiao Lin left without even saying a proper goodbye.

Years passed in a glance. Chen Jun became all busy with his usual life. Training the armed shoulder's, battles days after days, attending official's meetings and ceremonies. But he was always alone. This can't be loneliness. Because he never wanted anyone to company him, to love him, to care about him. This cruel world showed him countless thing's, to not believe in those "Love" and "Leave" things. 

One day at a ceremony of Xilling. All the other clan leader's and crown princes attended.

He is the only heir of Chen clan there, Chen Jun Ting. The god of War. The heaven's seventh official. But also, the most hated one among immortals. For his rebellious, rude and cold personality. 

All of nine officials were there too. But Chen Jun never interacted with any of them. Don't even know their name. He is not such a conservative person. Don't even know the emperor's name. Never bowed, never kneeled, never begged. Just a man of honor. Everywhere he goes people might judge and gossip around him, but his one stare makes them freeze as like they seen the death's face.

The ceremony started as Chen Jun never attended in those crowds. No exchanging drinks and no greetings to other. Just invited to the palace and he came without any wills. The huge drums and music held at main hall. And there he was practicing his sword ship. No time to waste. There few all covered assassin came. He got cautious. Though they acted they weren't targeting him. But he is not a mere person to underestimate. When he acted like he is drowned into his sword ship. They started to throw blade and surrounded him from everywhere.

Chen Jun always aware of getting foe. That's why he barely talks to anyone. But God written the destiny for him in another way. He can't escape having countless enemies. He tossed them by his unique martial art. But in a spite the assassin's martial technique was exceptional. So, they are not some simple assassins from street or bandit. Though Chen Jun didn't even ask and a little curious about the person behind it. This is him. The unbothered one. Even if the death asking for his last wish but he replies with 'why?'. 

After that he became a little wary about around mess. And here he didn't know those were not just for taking his life with any grudge or something. It's a trap. 

After the ceremony of grand greeting ends. Chen Jun gotten called right in front there. As a special guest. 

Chen Jun came, upped his hand to greet the emperor and stood there in silence.

Long live your Majesty.

Everyone was kind of shocked by the presence of Chen Jun in such a gathered place. He never shows or makes a sound around any gathers or meetings. Just cold serious gaze and appreciation nods of decisions. 

The emperor seemed kinds of anxious. Rather than congrats him for winning the battle with Xian he insulted him with announcing him as,

King of Feud.

Chen Jun just smirked and left. Those are just everyday bitter medicine for him. To make him become one upgraded hard stone. He left Xilling that night. He knew once he shows up in any gathering's, there will be something vulgar for him. Just a waste of time.

Now he knows everything ends there with just an insult, in front of all the clan leaders and officials. But there everything happened underneath behind him. Without even noticing and not even letting a trace of it left. And everything happened before the assassination held. He was officially getting poisoned for backstabbing behind the emperor. But since he didn't show up and informed as he ran away, the emperor sent few high ended assassins. And after realizing he tossed them in the ground with a single flinch. The emperor understood he is unbeatable. Not even this old, weak strength can beat him anymore. So that's why there he got informed by the whole realm who he is!
