《The Strength of Duality (Newly Edited)》Use Force
Advertisement
Besides, Yun Tian having already helped them a lot, he could force them to squeal even if they didn’t want to. That was how strength worked in this world.
Yun Tian refocused and asked, “Where is Shenzhen city which the Zhao clan resides in located? And how do I get there?”
Hearing this, although confused by why he wanted to know this, Chu Hong spared no thought and answered, “There are two ways to get there from here. One is to follow the road leading north of town until you reach a larger town called Zhenmen town. You will pass a few towns of similar size to this one on the way there, but always just keep heading north.”
“Once you reach Zhenmen town, head east from there and you will eventually reach Shenzhen city. Even for me though, the full journey would take around twenty five days.”
Hearing this, Yun Tian was surprised, Chu Hong was a peak dantian building expert and had great speed. For it to take him so long, the distance travelled would be extremely far. As he was told this, he couldn’t help but wonder why his parents had gone so far away from home.
“The other way would be to go straight northeast from here. As long as you don’t stray too much, you should be able to find at least something to guide your way. For example, there is a large mountain near Shenzhen city. Also, there are many towns spread around. So, you should be able to find your way again with some effort even if you do get lost.”
He continued saying: “As for how long the second option would take, if nothing went wrong it would take me around fifteen days. But! At the same time, even I might die to something out there or face something which drastically slows me down. Even you could die to the strong beasts and other things out there.”

Hearing all this, Yun Tian felt a little guilty at his anger earlier. It appeared that Chu Hong was trying to help him however he could and providing him with all the explanations he could, even going so far as to give him references for time.
Still, he didn’t feel the need to do anything in return or apologize. He had already done the town two great favors. Getting rid of the Chen clan and killing the pack of wolves, although he did lure them here, albeit not purposely and they didn’t know that.
So, he only said, “Thanks for such detailed information. I have one more question I would like to ask. Do you guys know if I could find any high grade qi gathering pills around here before I leave? Does the spirit market here have some by chance?”
Feng Bao remained silent as he knew Chu Hong would speak up and he was right as he said, “Actually I have three with me that you can have.”
As he said that he took out a bottle with three pills within and handed it over to Yun Tian. Yun Tian did not stand on ceremony and merely said, “I partially forgive you for stopping me from chasing after Chen Long before.”
With that Both of the clan leaders in front of him flashed awkward smiles. Within the awkward front that was portrayed though, there was some actual delight and relief in Chen Long. He was worried about this and this helped to relieve his worries at least a little bit. This was one of the reasons he was trying to be so helpful.
Even though Chu Hong did not actually nor want to actively go against him, he did stop him from chasing and killing Chen Long. This inevitably caused some resentment within Yun Tian. If not for Yun Tian knowing that he had to, he would have killed him outright as soon as he saw him again.

Chu Hong said, “Again I’m sorry about that. About the pills though, the spirit market here might have some high grade qi gathering pills, but I am not sure. Why don’t I go with you and we can check?”
Yun Tian agreed saying: “Sure, but give me a little while first. I will meet you guys there after I am ready.”
Both men agreed with him and then the three of them with the wolves right behind walked in through the gates entering town.
“You two go on ahead, I will meet up with you there.”
Yun Tian already knew the spirit market here was located.
Seeing that he wanted to do something away from them they obliged and went on ahead.
After they were gone, he turned to look at Wu Chen and the other guards currently standing blankly some distance down the path into town.
Seeing Yun Tian look at him, Wu Chen said to the guards around, “Okay, everything seems to be fine now. I have some things to do now, but you are to continue guarding the gate.”
They nodded their heads and agreed walking back to the gate. As they walked past Yun Tian, they either stared the entire time or did their best to look away.
Yun Tian shook his head seeing these grown men so scared of him and just walked over to Wu Chen.
When they got closer to each other, Wu Chen immediately said, “Again, seeing your abilities in person is way different. You can be pretty scary.”
Yun Tian shook his head and said, “Sorry if I scared you. I can get emotional when it comes to my family.”
He continued on, “Anyway, I’m gonna get Shen Yu before doing one last thing and then we will leave this place. We will probably not be back for a long time, if we are back at all.”
Wu Chen did not become downcast at all unlike the first time when he saw two young kids coming to this town all alone or when he got injured. He had seen plenty of evidence that Yun Tian was strong enough to take care of himself. Besides, he and his wife had already tried to stop them once before. What could he do? Use force?

The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com
