The situation in LoHua village changed in an instant, Princess WuLan ordered her men who were all villagers to raise the village fortifications, bring all the children and women to the room in the cave that had long been prepared for survival conditions, this situation was no longer new for LoHua village, although lately, the village has become too safe so some are starting to get a little careless, but not at this time.
MeMa is a well-trained WahYe army commander, the little girl has very strong martial arts skills, according to WuLan, which makes the girl able to defeat many soldiers and become a leader, even though her daily life, the girl prefers to be a personal servant for WuLan, her parents are descendants defense minister BoYang, so it wouldn’t be strange if her entire family became war experts just like her ancestors.
Meanwhile, Pai had ordered several village heads to bring all residents who could not defend themselves into the cave, in a large cave itself that had been built seventy years ago and was further refined with a defense level of to the months, all food, to medicine, what everyone needed was deliberately placed inside, and breaking through defenses wasn’t easy either, the WahYe tribe was renowned for their prowess at making defense mechanisms so it was impossible to open them unless they opened it themselves.
WuLan stood in front of LuoXiang who was also standing beside his big horse, along with many warriors from YueYang they were ready to stomp their way.
“Your Majesty, Prince WuYi has excellent martial arts, he is also very smart, please be careful”
LuoXiang tightened his sleeve cuffs, the golden armor he was wearing was quite heavy and sturdy, although it didn’t affect his movements, and today the warrior who was informed to come to meet at SuiLian before tomorrow morning, they will be gathered on with the troops that will join Commander Liu at the entrance of the Cloud forest.
The Crown Prince got on his horse, pulled the reins, and without waiting any longer headed towards the gate of LoHua village which was already covered by pointed bamboo, WuLan also send her men to assisted the Crown Prince’s entourage to lead the way to Cloud forest.
“hiaaa!! hiaa!!” LuoXiang’s eyes flashed, his eyes gleamed with determination, he held BaiYing’s necklace wrapped around his wrist, he was going to bring YingYing home, this was their last battle, he would make sure of it.
“Hiaa!! hiaaa!!’
.....
Drap Drap Drap Drap.
Horses with tall and sturdy legs stomped the path out of the village behind the stone wall, which slowly lined up and closed on its own, until it was invisible from the outside as the Crown Prince’s sizable entourage passed it, dust from the path passed by a group of high-flying horses, it seems that in the group also AYa and ChenMing who although haven’t recovered from their condition, hope that when they arrive at the location their condition will improve, or else they will only become a burden, thought LuoXiang who glanced at the two stubborn people.
.......
Klop Klop Klop.
BaiYing opened his eyes, slowly heard the voice getting clearer in his ears, giddy, didn’t know what had happened, tried to adapt his memory, it was already bright again, he faintly saw someone approaching him, slowly lowered his body, his face formed more and more clearly, didn’t know how he could lose his consciousness when all the poison and drugs that YeMu gave him none of them had any effect on him, did someone hit him? But, with his protective abilities, nothing could injure him whether he was alert or not, then, how could he be unconscious?
“Such a sweet child, you are indeed a citizen of WahYe, your beautiful eyes, as deep as the ocean, why didn’t I recognize it before? Everyone said that the descendant of SanNiang had died that night, but turned out, he grow up to be a very attractive young man, Your Highness Concubine Hua” The man’s voice, BaiYing’s head hurt but he could tell who it was from his voice before his vision became clear, he’s YueWang, who then raised his hand holding his chin, BaiYing was on a stone bed in a small cave-like room, where were they not?
BaiYing shifted his head releasing the man’s grip from him, they didn’t tie him, his legs and arms, weren’t they afraid that he would run away? Slowly the young man got up and pulled his body to sit back.
YueWang straightened his seat.
“Heh, you won’t be going anywhere sweetie, I know how you are, this very kind and gentle child can’t bear to leave his friends and save himself, isn’t it right BaiYing?”
BaiYing swallowed hard, he shifted his hand as the man placed something near his hand, his eyes opened wide, it was his mother’s coin.
“This” BaiYing quickly grabbed it, seeing the coin wrapped in patterned cloth, this must be the purpose of that person bringing him to this place? They really wanted to know about the whereabouts of the Lost Palace.
“Where, master ShinYa?” he asked.
YueWang straightened his body, stood up from his seat.
“Hemh, ShinYa, he is still very useful, don’t worry young man, as long as he is still useful to me, I will let him live, just like you, you are very important, more important than anything you know, why, don’t you join this great grandfather, together we build WahYe again, you don’t know how great this country is if we want to use all its resources, with the Lost Palace, WahYe will triumph again, even YueYang will be defeated in an instant, Father who is too innocent and kind, let people bully him, even though, he can do whatever he wants if he wants too.”
BaiYing shifted his head as YueWang’s hand was about to touch his chin again, glaring at the man.
“You are crazy, your ambition makes you lose your mind and do everything you can, why, you killed my mother, why killed my father and my whole family? They’re innocent, if you didn’t, I might still think you’re just a poor prince who lost his country, but, right now, you’re nothing but a lunatic who doesn’t know when to stop!” BaiYing’s shaking voice.
YueWang looked at BaiYing who was looking at him intently, clenching his fists.
“What do you mean I’m crazy? Your great-grandfather is Wahye’s successor, for a great cause great sacrifices are required, Your mother, is only a small part of the obstacle, only a few people have died it’s mean nothing for all of our grand plans”
“Even if it is only one person but they are my family! What gives you the right to say everyone’s life is not important!”
YueWang held BaiYing’s chin, seeing the youth’s teary eyes holding back tears, even though his gaze was sharp as if a sword was ready to stab at him, YueWang held BaiYing’s chin and spoke very close to him.
“Be strong! You are WahYe’s next generation after this palace is revived, you are the great Prince of WahYe, all the power you can have, you have the great dragon blood in your body, that immense power, will support all of our plans to rule the world, then, you don’t think is this destiny? My sweet grandson?”
BaiYing brushes off YueWang’s hand.
“Get your hands off! Don’t ever touch me, let alone consider me as your grandson, you are not my great-grandfather, not my mother’s grandfather, no old man has the heart to kill his own flesh and blood, you, do not deserve to be a grandfather!”
YueWang couldn’t hold himself back any longer, his eyes widened and his palm slapped the young man’s cheek very hard.
“Prakk!!”
“Insolent!!”
YueWang was about to hit again but BaiYing returned his gaze quickly, looking at the man with big eyes, eyes that slowly gave off a red color that made YueWang’s movements suddenly heavy.
“Akh”
YueWang backed away, the strength of the young man in front of him was not to be taken lightly, he tossed aside his disheveled clothes as the youth’s inner energy pushed him away.
“I won’t let you go, better think carefully about who you really are, and, find the entrance to the Lost Palace or that Divine shaman’s life will be lost, I don’t care if he is the key to unlocking mechanism of Lost Palace or not, even if necessary I will cut off his legs and arms just so he can stay alive just to open the mechanism, don’t test my patience young man”
BaiYing restrained himself, his chest hurting, his anger, his sadness for the entire family that was killed by the person in front of him, that person was none other than his own grandparent, who killed his mother who was none other than his granddaughter, how could he did it, BaiYing tried to gather his breath, he had to stay calm in this condition, think clearly, and think about how he and ShinYa could escape from the clutches of that madman.
“Hoh hoh hoh”
BaiYing clutched his Memories coin, clutching his chest tightly, His mother might be able to help him.
“Mother”
