23 Chapter 19 : Undercurrents part 1

Somewhere at the Borders between the Sangui's Empire and Wushu Empire laid what was called the 'dividing line', it was One of the Mysteries of this world as it covered the entire Sangui's Empire like a Dome. From the layers of dark clouds on one side of the sky with the constant flash of red lightning at the outer perimeters of the Empire to the Sea of black grass which connected to the lush green plains which lead the Humans forest, made a stark contrast with each other.

It was known that as the Demons fought against the first rebellion, where they had been faced with the pincer attack of both humans and beast men. they were being pushed back into their territory day after day as They were unable to stop the charge of the Central Divine Emperor and his guardians the Eastern Heretic, Western Venom, Southern Monarch, Northern Beggar as they fought on the front line with the treasure Mountain 'Mount Hua' and the Heaven Sword Nor could they Hold back the Beast Emperor and his Cardinal beasts.

they fought desperately in unbridled fury and indignation but still met the same fate. the beast's Ming cult sliced their 'victims' like tigers in the midst of sheep while The Royal Guards were even more ruthless towards the Demons as they slaughtered their way to this very location.

At the point when the Demon Lord and his loyal subordinates fought on, he suddenly felt he was breaking through in his cultivation he was overjoyed and at the same time horrified because he had to face his tribulations in the middle of the battle Field. of course his enemies would use this chance to end him, so instead of dying for nothing he chose to use a forbidden technique to set up an array at the expense of his life, surrounding what was left of the Demon empire with his Blood Aura and trapping the tribulation lightning.

The pursuing humans were blasted away by a massive Shock wave, the Treasure mountain went into hiding with the heaven sword, the Beast men lost their emperor that day. And any human or beast men that steps into this array to get revenge got struck by the trapped divine tribulation lightning.

Due of this, the borders of the Demon empire were heavily guarded by both humans and beast since the Demons could move about there while they couldn't.

Despite that, Within This Dark grass, four Silhouettes made their way through this very Black Grass as they Sneakily entered the Lush plains with great haste lest they alerted the guards. After waiting for several minutes They proceeded into the Forest, Stealthily moving About as they went in deeper.

As they moved on, a melodious voice came from one the Silhouettes [Gong Fuzhi, Use your fate compass to get a reading of the Hong Xian Gold cicada's location and use that device to see if there's any new development on the side of your Human Slave].

[As You wish, Your Highness] responded a Voice filled with flattery as he Quickly went to work, after all he still liked his head being attached to his body. He found a corner and sat in a lotus position while infusing his Chi into the fate compass, his eyes began to glow as he slowly cried blood. Not much longer it began to Rain but the guards didn't find it weird as they scuttled around for shelter, after it was normal. Rain surprisingly still fell on this area due to the strain on the natural Chi.

The raindrops were thin like hair. As they fell, they enveloped the entire forest in a layer of fine mist. The Man with the compass kept chanting the mantras as he kept on bleeding but none of his companions felt worried, it even seemed normal to them.

The more he chanted the more his face contorted, Suddenly series of pictures kept flashing through his mind as a Shadow suddenly appeared before them and Quickly bowed.

[Xu fei Greets Your Highness]

Looking carefully at the Lady whose soul was being projected to them, The melodious voice rang out once more as she nodded repeatedly,

[you may Rise, This princess is at least satisfied with your looks. Now give us your report].

Hearing what she said, Xu fei's eyes couldn't help but twitch as she responded calmly.

[ The Family artifact hasn't been brought up yet, there's still contemplation on who would be the successor. So I'm helping the pig place his Son on the family head sit, That way the location would be exposed.] there was silence for a bit before the melodic voice came up once again with some bizarre words.

[We must say that this princess is not impressed, Why all this twist and turns? for over 12 years!!!. Do you wish to play this princess to death, We Tao yimu are very unhappy with your methods. Why not just kill them all and Grab the leader for interrogation]

At this point, Xu fei was already sweating bullets as she tried to explain

[Your Highness, calm your anger!! but its not that simple... The family head is a matchless in kungfu powerhouse!!] This only got her a sneer from the Lolita of a princess, Blonde hair and red pupils coupled with a round face with pale skin donned in a Black robe which from the looks of it, was definitely a treasure as it constantly spewed black smoke.

[A common matchless in kungfu dare poses an obstacle in front of this princess?!! hmph Mongrel, we as an Advanced Grand master can already wipe the floor with him!!!...] while she spoke to this point an Elderly voice interrupted her from within her robe.

[Yi er (Authors note: Pet name for Yimu) no need for long Stories, we Shall make our way to Chengdu. but we best not do anything to alert any of the empires Guardians, especially that heretic!!.]

[Y...Yes, Hmph Mongrel if you want your immortality you better finish your preparation before we get there] Tao Yimu pouted as she swiped her hands horizontally, severing the connection which allowed Gong Fuzhi to continue moving as the spell ended.

At the same time in the dining hall on the first floor of the Longmen inn (Chengdu), The entire place was rather empty. There were only 7 guests sitting at a seat by the window. A gust of wind blew, bringing with it the scent of alcohol and Tea.

A man with a skinny build sat with his back facing the window. Despite being skinny, you could see the explosive muscles beneath his clothes, Before him was a table filled with good wine and dishes. The color, smell and taste were all top notch. Especially the Spring spirit wine which oozed with the fragrance of alcohol along with a hint of freshness. The Amber colored liquor sat quietly in the ceramic cup.

From his angle, it shone with an a Light green luster.

A Short haired person, that was hard to tell if he was male or female and his Third in command were sitting closest to him. as they were undercover as mortal humans, they wore modest clothes like well to do merchants.

The Lady-like person sipped the last of her spirit wine while looking enviously at his cup . He or She was evidently attracted to the spring spirit wine in his cup but could not afford the risk of snatching it.

His third in command ate his fried beefs like a hungry ghost, a crunching sound emitting from his mouth as he chewed on the tiny bones. At the same time, he Complained to the skinny man, While pulling on his meat.

[Teng Su, Teng Su, tell me again why we are after this kid ? I don't see why all seven of us were dispatched just for him. we just need to secretly capture him, why not send out Qiu xia to do that while we continue to drink!, it shouldn't take long for him to return.] As he stated this, the others nodded as well only the so called Qiu Xia frowned.

[Sigh... I can't even drink in peace anymore, Since you're asking this Question. it shows you didn't read the report!!and can you at least eat like a person!!] the short haired lady figure jabbed from the side. Teng Su sighed but his face showed an amused expression towards this child like behavior. With his twig-like arm, he picked his cup and shook his head.

[ Qiu Xia!!, you this F***king Eunuch, who lost his D*** to the the rootless clan, escaping your predicament of being captured…] The Guy bellowed as he waved the meat in his hands in front of Qiu Xia.

Qiu Xia's story was very popular and widespread tale in the Empire, as well as the most Foreign places. this was because he was the first to escape the clutches of the rootless clan since the last hundreds of years, But sadly they already cut out his D***.

[I'd rather be this way than Join those powder faced Demons, Luckily I escaped before I got leeched.] Qiu Xia Sighed as though he just remembered a bad memory before he shuddered involuntarily. it was at this time that Teng Su cut into the discussion.

[Any way, the report this time was mind boggling as it States that the Child can Cultivate and Seemed to have activated his Xu family bloodline like his father since he could kill all of those our guys. and it looks like his hiding it just like his father or doesn't even know its use.]

the rest of them sucked in cold breaths as they recalled how scary it had been while Teng Su continued [Just like the father, we have two requests from the same Two people. One is to kill him while the other is to capture alive, Now we are going to do it the same way as before. We capture him and take him to that same location at the capital, while we report him dead to that Guy.]

They all laughed this time around as they had used the same method before and made a fortune.

Meanwhile back at the Xu family manor, Young master Xu Yun had arrived at the doors of Xu yunzheng's Study. as he went through possible scenarios on the reason he was summoned in his mind he lifted his hands to knock only to hear the Man's Voice Say [Enter].
