The ten warriors from the Mu empire were already far away from the restaurant, they walked while grumbling as they could not successfully prank the Ho Chen they had heard if he was from the Yun empire.
They suspected the possibility of Ho Chen coming to follow the competition.
"Sister, let's tell the prince about this matter, if he really follows this match, make sure he can't win, if he can just kill him!."
"Right, let's report it to the prince!."
They rushed to a sizable inn and entered to meet the prince to report the existence of the swordsman from the Yun empire.
"Sun Swordsman, where have you been?." A 27-year-old man spoke to one of the ten.
"Pardon the prince, we were out, and the prince knows what we found?."
"What have you found?." The prince asked curiously.
"We found one swordsman who came from the Yun empire!." Said Pendekar Sun.
The prince was a little surprised and asked. "Are you sure he's alone?." Ask her.
"Very sure prince, sure as he is. Yet at this time, he was with Young Master Tiao Ji."
"Tiao Ji..? Will Tiao Ji and the swordsman be in this match as well?." Ask the Prince.
"Maybe, I still don't know for sure, but if it's true, this will be an opportunity to kill him, for the Yun Empire to be ashamed because their representatives have been defeated." Said Swordsman Sun while laughing loudly.
The prince's name was Prince Xiu Hei Kong, prince of the Mu empire, and the first son of Emperor Xiu Tao Xang.
They began to set up a match-preparation plan for themselves, as well as set up a stratagem in order to deal with the swordsman from the Yun empire.

Ever since he had reached the peak of God Power, now Ho Chen could only meditate and absorb the energy from his Inner Realm. He no longer needed guard when he was entering the Inner Realm, just by making a single shadow to guard it, then he could meditate safely.
Actually Ho Chen wanted to quickly return to his own territory, but he abandoned his intentions because he wanted to see Liu's imperial territory even further.
According to Ho Chen, the city he currently lived in was as big as the city of Anming. Although a little different.
All this time he had never been out of the Yun imperial region, so this was an opportunity for him to be able to figure out the situation in his own World. Because according to Ho Chen to the four empires that stood still included in his world.
Now it was time to go watch the game. Ho Chen departed with Tiao Ji to the entrance of the match hall.
After arriving inside, it turned out that there were already many people present there, but most of them just wanted to watch.
The seats for the spectators lined up around the arena of the match, the more backward, the higher the seat, all of it was made so that the audience in the back seat could also see very clearly.
In front of the palace entrance, there was a row of blue flags with the image of six Stars. While in the middle there was a magnificent chair facing the arena.
Many heavily armed soldiers stood guard from the entrance, the edge of the arena, behind the spectator seats, to the left and right of the front seat of the Magnificent Emperor's seat.
After looking around him, Ho Chen gazed up at the sky for a moment then smiled widely and looked back at the empty arena before him.
"Your Majesty has arrived..!." One of the guards at the entrance of the palace shouted out loudly, then there was the sound of Gong.
A middle-aged man wearing a fancy dress made with a special thread and wearing a crown came with two women, one a middle-aged woman in a glittering dress, and one 23-year-old beautiful young lady in a pink dress.
Everyone stood up and saluted the newly arrived Emperor Cao, after the Emperor and his empress and daughter were seated, everyone sat down again.
"The audience and the participants who will participate in the match! Today I'm contesting a match for the Princess, about to begin.
To the representatives of the various empires, I General Feng Bhao will give an explanation of the rules of the match that will start in a moment." General Feng Bhao unrolled the paper then read out the rules of the match.
"Rules match! The participants were not prohibited from using any weapons.
If during the match the opponent declares to surrender, then the opponent will be the winner, if one of the participants falls or goes out of the arena it will be considered knockout.
And the last one is forbidden to kill opponents, either intentionally or unintentionally. If you break the rules, you will be disqualified.
Such are the rules set by His Majesty Emperor Cao!." The general closed his explanation.
Emperor Cao rose from his seat and spoke slowly but could be heard throughout the arena.
"The attendees and all the representatives of the three empires are present on this day! I am Emperor Cao would like to thank you for being willing to attend to my invitation." Emperor Cao came forward and looked at all the attendants present and spoke again.
"I hope you compete and fight fairly and honestly, and whoever comes out to be the winner, then he has the right to marry my daughter." Emperor Cao said as he turned to his daughter who was sitting down to bow her head.
"Now I invite General Lin Shang to be the referee!." Said Emperor Cao then sitting back in his chair.
General Lin Shang bowed and jumped into the middle of the arena and said. "I am General Lin Shang will name all the participants who will be competing.
The participants who will compete there are ten people.
The first. Young Master Pao Zian, of the Liu empire.
Young Master Shin Hai, from Liu empire.
Young Master Hang Kwe, from Liu empire.
Young Master Yang Gang, from Liu empire.
Young Master Hiao Lao, of the Ming empire.
Young Master Tiao Ji, of the Ming empire.
Prince Ming Shai, of the Ming empire."
Ho Chen listened to all the names that general Lin Shang called with awe, because all he called his names were Princes and sons of nobles, they all had very influential backgrounds in their respective regions.
"Prince Xiu Hei Kong, of the Mu empire.
Young Master Ying Kai, from Mu empire.
Ho Chen, from the Yun empire."
"Huh..!? Why is my name also mentioned..? Who put my name in..?." Ho Chen glared when his name turned out to be on the list of participants, even though he did not feel that he signed up or volunteered to participate in the match.
"Brother Chen, sorry if brother Chen is surprised! Actually I was the one who enlisted brother Chen to take part in this match!." Prince Tiao Ji said after Ho Chen's name was mentioned.
"You...!." Ho Chen was to the point of running out of words, he had absolutely no interest in this match yet the next time Tiao Ji's words surprised him.
"I know brother Chen does not agree, but the entire empire has already sent their respective representatives except the representatives of the Yun empire.
Because it was such a coincidence that brother Chen was here that he could become the representative of the Yun Empire, so brother Chen should not refuse, or the imperial name Yun would be worse in the eyes of that person from the Mu empire!." Said Tiao Ji pointing towards the prince Xiu Hei Kong and the ten warriors who were beside him.
