Chapter 138 - Tricking The Enemy

Next morning…..

Getting up in the morning, Jason went straight to the alchemy room after doing whatever that need to be done as he ignore Austin once more due to the fact that he always come early. Making his way to the room which the grand elder used to relax when he has nothing doing, jason saw him seating with a frown on his face as he keep on staring at the scrap of the pill that Jason left behind for research.

"Are you still worrying yourself about finding something about that pill" asked Jason seeing how focus the grand elder is with the pill making he unable to notice he is in the room.

"What can I say, it has really gotten into me that i cant find anything about the pill when I am a alchemy" replied the grand elder as he raised his head to look at Jason.

When the raise his head up, Jason was shocked to see that his hair was scattered with some black spot under his eyes which it obvious that he hasn't been sleeping.

"Look old man, I suggest you take some rest and try another time instead of overworking yourself" said Jason in concern. 

"Dont worry about me kid, I have done things that are far worst than this back in the days" replied the grand elder with a smile. 

"Yeah and that was when you were still young now you are old and weak and what you needed the most is rest before you die out of something like this old man" said Jason.

"Sigh, it seems to me that you still want to continue with your training boy" asked the grand elder with a cunning smile on his face. 

"No..no..no grand elder, you can continue with what you are doing" replied Jason as he waved his hands with a awkward smile on his face.

"That is much better, now tell me what do you want from me" asked the grand elder knowing fully well that there is no way Jason will just come to check on him without having problem that he needed his help with. 

"Well it is like this, I just can't read the language that was used in this scroll so I decided to bring it to you to see if you might understand the language" replied Jason as he brought out one of the scrolls.

Instead of taking the scroll from Jason, the grand elder just look at him with a twitch look on his face before turning his sight back to the scroll as he begin to observe it and seeing how worn out it look, the grand elder already have an idea of where it came from as he turn his gaze back at Jason.

"How many treasure did you bring out of the ruin".

"Well if you must know I didn't bring anything good except from the pills and some scrolls which proves to be very difficult for me to read" replied Jason.

After listening to Jason complaint, the grand elder took the scroll from him as he begin to look at the content that was written in the scroll and the more he look, the more the frown on his face deepen and seeing the grand elder in these way, Jason couldn't help but let out a sigh as he said. 

"Seem like even you don't understand the language that is writen in there".

"There seem to be a lot of strange stuff hidden inside the ruin and you just had to bring them out and now i am doubting if your luck is good at all" replied the grand elder as he passed the scroll back to Jason.

"I regretted not taking any weapon instead of all this useless scrolls and pills" grumble Jason as he kept it way.

"I won't say it is useless since the only problem we are having right now is how to translate what is written inside" said the grand elder as he tries to cheer him up.

"Then I guess I have to continue searching for a way to break it down" replied Jason.

"Okay now that it is settled, you can leave now" said the grand elder as he chased Jason off the room.

After leaving the room, Jason went back to do his stuff until it was time for him to head home. After biding fareware to Austin, Jason begin to head home and for weeks Jason has been very observant when ever he is heading home since he don't know who might be watching him. Meanwhile, in a roof not too far from where he was, sat blake who has a straw hat on as he begin to watch him from above.

"That must be the kid elder Phil wants dead" said Blake as he lick the edge of his lip before leaving the roof.

After Blake left the spot where he was hiding, Jason suddenly turned his head over towards the same spot only to see that there was nothing there.

"I thought I felt something" he mutter to himself before he continue to head home and this time around he was walking at a slow pace.

"Did he just discover that he is been followed" said Blake to himself with a light chuckle as he watch him leave the area.

After a little walk Jason was finally able to get home where he saw Hannah and his mother sitting in a log as they look at the forest that seems not too far from where they are sitting. 

"You guys seems to be the relaxing type today" joke Jason as he walk up to them.

"One need have to relax the body once in a while and today is the day I chose for your sister to rest" replied Clara with a smile. 

Looking at the three as they were chatting, Blake couldn't help but smile.

"Six layer of tempered body, a second stage foundation realm cultivator and a four stage foundation realm cultivator. This is going to be a very easy task that I have taken so far and yet elder Phil was just worrying over nothing" mutter Blake to himself as he let out giggle.

"Do you know that you are been watched" asked Clara as they continue to look at the forest while still acting like everything is okay.

"I got the feeling not quite long after leaving the alchemy room and that is all" replied Jason with a serious look on his face.

"Is that why you decided to lower your realm mother" asked Hannah.

"That is right my dear, this way the opponent will have the confident to attack without planing things out since he already has the thought that we are no match for him" replied Clara with a warm smile on her face as she gave Hannah a light pinch on the cheek.

After sitting for a while, they went inside until it was dark which is the best time for Blake to take action since no one will be able to notice anything strange about the place since it is dark.

"They must be sleeping by now" said Blake with a chuckle since he has been waiting outside for two hours for them to go to sleep before he proceed with his attack.

Coming out of where he is hiding, Blake begin to walk towards the tent with his hand hold onto the swords tightly as he is ready take the target once he is in sight.

After making his way to the tent, Blake looked at his sides to see if there is anyone watching before going inside where he saw the there sleeping peacefully. After confirming where his target would be sleeping, Blake lifted his sword before stabbing it down on the target but before the sword could get close the body, it was stopped by a force and not nothing while the sword would stop half, Blake tried forcing it down and that is when he heard a voice from his behind.

"Did the Phoenix family sent you here to assasinate me". The voice came from Jason who was sitting close to the table.

Blake quickly turned to look who it was that just spoke only to see that it was the young man that he was supposed to kill. With a confusing look on his face, Blake turn back to look at the person laying before him only for him to discover that it was the lady that was sitting with the little girl earlier. But since his realm is higher than theirs, he still compose himself as he kept the sword back into the scabbard as he answer.

"What if I was sent by the Phoenix family, do you think that you will be able to escape death".

"I guess they haven't learnt their lesson even after the death of the first assassin" said Jason as he shook his head in disappointment.

"You can run your mouth for all I care but I am going back with your head" replied Blake with a evil grin on his face.
