ARC 1 - Fall to Rise
Based on Zhao Tian's explanation, the plans of the Seven Colors Pagoda had fallen apart due to Shu En's thwarting. But the Seven Colors Pagoda had not given up yet, they still had two other plans.
Zhao Tian also explained to Shu En that the Yang Empire's combat power was on the white flow cultivators who were on Emperor Yang's side, yet they were slowly eliminated by Xu Wang.
“Something must be happening on Lotus Mountain as well as the Rainy Season Valley and the Capital Luoyang.” Zhao Tian said.
“Problems in Luoyang Capital we don't need to worry. There are people more terrible than me.” Shu En responded.
Zhao Tian was astonished to hear Shu En's words, while Xu Kai and Liu Bai immediately thought that the person Shu En meant was Tang Xia.
“So what are you worried about, Zhao Tian?” Shu En asked.
Zhao Tian stared at Shu En for quite a while before telling him that a large army under the command of the Tang Imperial General was on its way to Xudong.
“What I fear are the people behind Emperor Tang. They were the ones who helped Emperor Tang and instigated your Uncle to stage a coup.”
As Zhao Tian told this, Shu En was silent for a long time and thought that these people were related to what was happening in the Zhang Empire.
“Zhao Tian, how many troops did Emperor Tang send to Xudong?”
“About two thousand troops, Prince Shu. Their abilities were on par with those of the Sacred Realm Cultivators, while for the higher-ups were at the Earth Realm stage and the General was at the Sky Realm stage.”
“We will lose decisively if Lotus Mountain and Rainy Season Valley are overrun by the Seven Color Pagoda!”
“Do you have any plans, Prince Shu?”
Shu En looked at Zhao Tian, Xu Kai and Liu Bai in turn. It flashed to help cultivate the three people, but all of that took time and to unite all parties helping Yang Ruan was not easy so Shu En had a plan.
“Two thousand people huh? I will dedicate the two thousand lives to the Demon Goddess!”
Without explaining his plan Shu En smiled in front of the three of them before continuing on. On the way, Shu En gave different tasks to Xu Kai and Liu Bai.
Xu Kai evacuated all of Xudong's residents, while Liu Bai headed for the Luoyang Capital to stop attacking the Rainy Valley.
On the other hand Shu En and Zhao Tian continued their journey towards Lotus Mountain. On the way Shu En and Zhao Tian made several stops in the countryside and saw the worried faces of the villagers they passed by.
The situation that was happening in the Yang Empire was extremely not conducive. Starting from Emperor Yang's murder, Yang Yufeng's death, Xu Wang's treachery and the impending war with the Tang Empire left many of the Yang Empire's residents in fear.
“Tang Empire is a different country compared to a few years ago. I'm sure they're all afraid that this country will end up like that.” Zhao Tian spoke after they passed through the countryside.
“What happened to the Shu Empire because of the actions of a small portion of vile cultivators! I want to know the man who caused all this! For that I will eliminate all those who stand in my way!”
“So what about your colleague named Yong Xiang? Is he in Lotus Mountain?” shu En asked after they walked for a few days.
“He should have sent me a letter... Well that's her pet white eagle!” Zhao Tian looked at the sky and pointed at an eagle carrying a letter attributed to his leg.
“Letter? What's it all about?” ask Shu En to come back.
Zhao Tian took the letter after the white eagle alighted in his right hand. After reading out the contents of the letter, Zhao Tian and Shu En understood that the leader of the Seven Colors Pagoda was after Xing Rou's special body and used Juan Fu as an intermediary.
The situation in Lotus Mountain right now was somewhat chaotic because the battle had already taken place there. The Seven Colors Pagoda Cultivator had already successfully infiltrated and controlled Lotus Mountain with Juan Fu.
Juan Fu was aiming for the position of Patriarch of Lotus Mountain and had the ambition to make Xing Rou and Yang Ruan his wife. This crazy ambition completely blinded Juan Fu and chose to team up with Kai Xuexuan.
Right now Xing Zhuo was being imprisoned underground along with some cultivators who had survived the battle, while for the cultivators who had survived to submit to Juan Fu aided by Kai Xuexuan, Feng En and Yong Xiang.
“Xing Rou's whereabouts haven't been found and they're looking for her. We better hurry, Prince Shu.” Zhao Tian took Shu En to hurry.
“I understand the outline, Zhao Tian.” Shu En watched the Lotus Mountain from the hill they passed.
Occasionally Shu En watched the forest around Lotus Mountain before Shu En stopped walking and pulled out a jar filled with liquid.
Zhao Tian looked at Shu En who was taking out the urn from the air had been shocked for a while as he realized it was not the Space Ring that cultivators used to use.
“This is the Night Room, one of my techniques. You can store anything here in unlimited quantities.” Shu En explained before giving the urn to Zhao Tian.
“What is this Prince Shu?” Zhao Tian asked after receiving Shu En's gift jar.
“This is the Poison Grasshopper. I learned it and made it. You must understand what I mean, right?” Shu En told Zhao Tian about his purpose in delivering the urn.
“You go to Lotus Mountain. I have a business for a moment.” Shu En said that while releasing a considerable aura.
Zhao Tian was made to giggle with the plan or what Shu En had just done. The two also split up in the hills. Zhao Tian headed towards Lotus Mountain, while Shu En had already disappeared and headed towards a forest around Lotus Mountain.
At the same time, the Rainy Season Valley cultivators along with the Seven Color Pagoda led by Mo Tianzhi were intending to attack the Luoyang Capital, but their forces were blocked by Liu Bai and his much smaller army.
But thanks to Tang Xia's help, Mo Tianzhi's plan with Guo Liang and Huo Fei fell apart. The originally Seven Colors Pagoda and the Rainy Season Valley intended to slaughter, instead they themselves were slaughtered.
Tang Xia's skill in fighting really earned her the nickname War Goddess. I don't know who started dubbing the beautiful girl as the Goddess of War, but the elegance in swordsmanship while killing really made everyone dumbfounded.
“Adik Shu, Baihu has returned. He's on his way to your place. The news he brought would definitely be very painful for you.” Tang Xia said slowly after decapitating some cultivators of the Seven Colors Pagoda.
Tang Xia hid his sad expression under the rain and blood from the person who was killed. Everyone who saw this also ran away in fear even Liu Bai immediately remembered Shu En's words if there was someone more terrifying than him then that person was Tang Xia.
