Chapter 54 - Seeing Red

Zhao Li Xin froze in his spot he doesn't believe it could be this easy, after years he tries to release himself from this caged and now he's free, his surprised look makes other people thought Zhao Li Xin feels regret and desperate, they point their finger at him and laughing at his stupidity.

"What a stupid Prince..." a young man suddenly speaks with a loud voice, he did not try to be discreet at all.

"What prince, he only commoner now…."Another young man adds on.

"Who thinks he is, is he thought the Emperor would never casted him away?" one of the old officials shakes his head.

"You know sixth Prince is never been a bright man even when he was a childs isn't he?" the old official friend dais with ridicule.

"Stop calling him sixth Prince, the emperor already releases his decree, there's no more sixth Prince in this Kingdom" the old official reminds his friends.

When people busy mocking him Zhao Li Xin suddenly chuckles "Finally...what took you so long…." he looks the Emperor as if he's stupid, Zhao Li Xin doesn't look anxious or desperate on contrary he looks very relaxed, he smiled dazzlingly stunned everyone in the room.

"Then from now on I'm not your Son anymore, it's that including you Mother..." he glances at Royal Consort Ying.

Royal Consort Ying glare at Zhao Li Xin furiously, his action has compromised her position "It's your own doing, you have no one to blame…." She said righteously.

Zhao Li Xin sneered "Indeed...."

"From now on, the bond between us is cut off. We got nothing to do to each other...we're stranger" Zhao Li Xin smiles coldly.

The Emperor feels chills on his bones, why he feels something bad is going to happen, but who is he? He is the 'Son of Heaven' he fears no one especially not his own weak Son "We are strangers, and because of you just a stranger your behavior to Emperor is outrageous and you must be punished!" the Emperor push his chest smugly, he wants to destroy his Son calm face.

Zhao Li Xin stunned but then he chuckles "Stupid old man, I want to see how you do it"

"IMPUDENT!!" The Emperor hits his gold armchair until the sound 'crack' hearing.

Everyone becomes paled, The Emperor's temper is not something anyone could trifle, why this stupid ex-prince court his own death. The Emperor raised his hands and all of a sudden, hundreds of soldiers with heavy armor and spears surrounding the main hall, The emperor makes complacent smiles, his soldiers is one of the stronger soldiers in the continent only few Kingdom who can match it, he sits proudly waiting his Son's kneeled for mercy to him.

"This is it?" Zhao Li Xin disappointed, this many people is not enough for him to show off in front of his little savior. Zhao Li Xin sigh with displeased, it's tiresome play with these small flies he rather let his subordinated do the jobs "Ri Yi…." He beckoned her.

Lory still anxious for him even though Zhao Li Xin look relaxed and Girsha told her she got nothing to worry about but she still can't shake her feeling, but she can't show her feeling in front of Zhao Li Xin enemy. She raised from the table gracefully then she walks calmly at zhao Li Xin with a smile on her face. Zhao Li Xin surprised how composed she is and soon he admired her bravery.

"It's gonna be ugly from here on, brace yourself….." he reminds her gently "Stay close with me...."

"I told you I'm not that weak!!" Lory rolls her eyes impatiently but her hand reaches Zhao Li Xin's hand. He smiles at her warmly he did not care Xiang Feng ran shocking face, the girl was enraged with anger and jealousy she unconsciously screams at Zhao Li Xin

"Who is she!!"

Zhao Li Xin looks at Xiang Feng Ran with disgusted "It got nothing to do with you!!" he rebukes her strongly. Xiang Feng Ran gasped she fall on her knee, her dream has crashed and burns in her face.

"CEASED HIM!!" The Emperor couldn't take it anymore.

But before the soldiers could react one by one fall to the ground, their blood flowing to the floor tainted the white marble with deep crimson color the soldiers who still alive were shocked beyond belief they look left and right anxiously while gripping their spear they scarred they would be next.

then From the rooftop four women descend, they wear fiery red robes and white masks with a beautiful red flower painted on it, they stand around Zhao Li Xin and Lory.

the next moment later a man with the same red robes with red vermillion bird embroidery on his sleeve his wearing red mask who cover half his face descend from above. Just from the appearance of his chin and his mouth everyone could surmise how handsome this man behind that mask.

When he sees Zhao Li Xin he kneeled in front of him he cupped his fist courteously "This subordinated greeting Sect master!!"

The red robes man words astonished everyone including the Emperor, since when his weak Son become sect Master? Is this a joke he looks at his Royal Consort Ying but she also looks dismayed, so probably she doesn't know either. The one who still maintains her calmed is Lao Min Na but there's a trace of envy in her eyes when she watches Zhao Li Xin.

"Raise" Zhao Li Xin said lazily, the man with red robes stunned for a second when he sees Zhao Li Xin hand in hand with a woman beside him, but Zhao Li Xin gazed reprimand him and the red robes man retract his gaze from Lory.

"Let's go home....." he said to Lory softly.

"Okay..." Lory nodded.

The four ladies also stunned, they never heard their Lord can speak like normal human. One of them secretly takes a glance at Lory and wondering who is she is but then the man with red robes glare at her, the woman did not dare to continue she shift her gaze awkwardly. Zhao Li Xin holds her hands and both of them left the main hall.

"Zhao Li Xin who do you think you are!!!" The emperor roar "You think you can intimidate me with this little people, you think you can fight the whole kingdom by yourself!!"

Zhao Li Xin smiles coldly "We'll see…." Then he put a golden mask on his face, then he turns around and left.

Xiang Wu Ci feels lightning hits his head, he recognizes that mask he had seen it a few times before "That can't be…..Long Ming" he murmured to himself.

"Master Xiang, what did you said?" Zhao Yi Chen can't believe what he heard.

"That' mask and that man with red robes.....how could I forgot, he is the red Vermilion palace King!!"

"Who can believe it, all of them wearing a mask, who knows if they real or not!!" the Emperor still stubbornly refuted "Seized them and kill them all!!" The emperor shouts to his General.

Although they hesitated they cannot against a direct order, the general lead hundreds of soldiers to stop Zhao Li Xin and his people. The soldiers charged at the same time, but Zhao Li Xin not even look back he walks hand in hand with Lory leisurely as if they walk in the park, the four girls with red robes draw their swords, in a second both power clash.

Mong Yi and the Man in Red follow Zhao Li Xin from behind in the same relaxed manner.

"Who is she…?" the red robes man whisper at Mong Yi

"Future Madam" he replied shortly.

'HOLLY CRAP!!'

Two hundred soldiers lost against four women, who would have thought all of them is on Grandmaster level and all of them have spiritual level weapons, even someone like the Emperor need painstaking effort to have one but how could these all woman have it. The Emperor becomes anxious he fears what Xiang Wu Ci said might be true.

The four women are very ferocious, they cut the soldier's limbs without hesitated. The sounds of people screaming and bone-breaking echoed on the air, the blood-stained the stone floor and gradually nauseating smelled emerge from the air, a lot of women faint from the horrid scened and the men cover their nose with their sleeve.

Ten minutes later Zhao Li Xin already left leaving only the four women in red robes, their robes are tainted with blood and there still blood traces in their weapon, one of the women looks at Mong Ki who watching them from the side.

"Master Mong, Milord wants to see 'red' is this enough?" the girls asking nervously in innocent manner, it's so different from the brutal image from before.

Mong Ki watches the pile of corpses and the wounded General who can barely stand, he eventually nodded "This would do....for now"

The four women sigh in relief, even though no one can't see their face but everyone can feel they were pleased.

Mong Ki takes step forward "If you want war, then Hei Shen Sect will give you war..."

His words give shiver to everyone, a few officials can't wistand his fear they fall on his knee tremble with fears, Xiang Wu Ci's face turns pale and so is the Emperor 'What had they done?'

Mong Yi and the four women left without a trace, leaving the remnant corpses and blood on the yards to reminds them of the consequences against Zhao Li Xin. The Emperor doesn't know he felt, angry, hate, embarrassed, regret....the strongest man in the continent is his Son? The same Son's he was ignored, despised and cast out.

"What has he's done.....?"
