Golden Dragon Swordsman S2

The Situation Within the Kingdom

The relentless pounding and shaking of the ground left everyone constantly stricken with prolonged anxiety. The sun began to rise to the western horizon, the blue sky alternated with reddish as a series of explosions and lightning girders in the sky.

Thus the inhabitants and the royal people began to wake up after a day of being drugged by the powder cast by the Aryan shadows while beginning the purge of the black warriors.

When the soldiers woke up from their long slumber in the royal courtyard, their eyes immediately hit the scattered people lying down and some were in a terrible state of death with their bodies scattered. For a moment they are confused trying to digest the situation that happened and what they experienced themselves.

Several officers immediately ordered the soldiers to inspect every corner of the kingdom and simultaneously tightened security. Some are in charge of removing scattered bodies.

In the middle of the vast courtyard the bodies were no longer intact, while the headstrokes of the decapitated victims were separated to identify who was killed. After that the soldiers waited for the next direction from their superiors. What will be done these bodies, whether buried or returned to relatives.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, the commander of Chong Quon, general Yong We and the other high-ranking officials rushed to the residence of King Lin Yon Jun to ensure the young king's safety.  This incident certainly made them very anxious, they assumed that the purpose of this attack was to target their king.

Just as King Lin Yon Jun opened his eyes, he was made to be aghast and immediately stood towards the door of his room. No one usually dares to interrupt his break time. He wondered why someone was knocking on the door of his room in such a hurry. ‘There must be something very important and urgent.’, the young king thought.

As soon as the door of the room opened, general Yong We immediately raised a question. “Sorry Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty alright?!”

Both general Yong We, commander Chong Quon as well as the others stared at King Lin Yon Jun from top to bottom. It was as if they did not want any part of the young king's body to be missed from their observation.

With a frowning forehead, King Lin Yon Jun stared one by one at those people before him. Because there was no answer coming out of him, the question was heard again, this time thrown by one of his ministers.

“Yang noble.. Did something happen to His Majesty?! Or is someone coming into your room?”

“Actually what are you guys talking about? I don't understand at all! I just woke up. Now explain the problem of what happened! Why do you look so anxious?” King Lin Yon Jun stared at the sword clasped in General Yong We's hand. Although the sword had not been taken out of the scabbard but from the general's attitude, it could be seen that the general was ready to face any problems that might be needed for a fight.

Despite having heard the answer coming from King Lin Yon Jun by himself, General Yong We and the others continued to observe the young king. As if they still need proof that the young king did not experience anything.

General Yong We glanced into the room, then took a deep breath. “Pardon our presumption Your Majesty. We are very worried about your safety. Does Your Majesty not feel anything or weirdness in you?”

Back King Lin Yon Jun was made to frown upon hearing those words. Then he tried to check his own body. Only when he felt that his Qi flow was chaotic, then he could feel what was the problem that made the higher-ups of his kingdom become anxious and come together to him.

“My Qi flow is like being clogged by something. Did you experience it too?” Said King Lin Yon Jun starting to rile.

For a moment everyone was silent, no one answered. Then suddenly I heard footsteps. Everyone there turned their eyes to where the footsteps came from.

A middle-aged man in a long white robe with a striped motif stopped walking as everyone stared at him. The middle-aged man was none other than Huang Tianzhi or better known as the King of Medicine.

“Nothing to worry about, sir. But they all experience the same symptoms. Equally obstructed blood flow and Qi, as well as fainting for a long time as we.”

“Fainted?! We're all knocked unconscious! What exactly is going on? Was all this from the members of the Bloody Demon Sect?” King Lin Yon Jun said in an angry tone as he clenched both his hands.

King Lin Yon Jun had indeed heard news of an intruder within the kingdom from his commander returning from a meeting in the Lightning Valley Sect. But so far the special forces he ordered to investigate the case did not get much information about who the intruder was.

“Maybe all this was their doing, but the most important thing is that His Majesty survived. As a result of this incident many of our soldiers died. Their bodies were all piled up like the cutting down of tree trunks in the front yard of the gate.” General Yong We sighed a moment ago. “We are still investigating this incident further. Besides, there is something we need to make sure. Out there the sky just kept letting out flashes of lightning, several times there was also an explosion above the air. Even the soldiers guarding the city testified, they saw a fight inside the kingdom this morning. And the testimony was strengthened by the traces of the fight as well as some destroyed buildings.”

“Fight?” Thought King Lin Yon Jun, he was trying to digest the series of events and information he received to be able to uncover what really happened.

Suddenly someone said as he walked to their place. “Really! This morning I saw for myself, there was a fight here. No, more precisely in the air. At that time I wanted to take a closer look at the fight, but their strength was completely beyond my ability. So I just saw it from far away.”

The two people then saluted after being in the presence of King Lin Yon Jun.

Once again the young king frowned. This time everyone who was there was also astonished. Hearing that person's words, everyone seemed to be frozen in place. Their blood stopped flowing. But then their mouths seemed to be silenced.

The one who said earlier was a special Swordsman who had come from the Tang Empire, his own abilities above those of the Sacred Swordsman. If that person said that the strength of the person fighting was beyond his ability, it meant that whoever was fighting was already able to make sure they were not from the Ming Empire.

Indeed, since the incident of the rebellion headed by prince Tong Jiao and his mother concubine Tong Lia, the higher-ups of the Goading kingdom agreed to bring the Swordsman of the Tang Empire to strengthen the security of the kingdom of Goading.

Everyone's confusion is then divided by the words of the other special swordsman. “We didn't interfere because we saw people who sided with us being able to master the fight. Their numbers are many and all wear face coverings.”

Still with a puzzled expression, King Lin Yon Jun then said. “How can you conclude that the people who covered his face are siding with us?”

“Just look at once we can confirm it Your Majesty. The people who covered his face were fighting against the demon beasts. That's why we are so sure if they side with us.”

“We recently heard of a group of demonic animals from the Kuantan sea entering this land. We also have information about the purpose of their arrival. They want to establish power on this land and seize power in some areas. But we did not expect that they had acted this far to infiltrate this kingdom.” He said the other special Swordsman.

Hearing so, King Lin Yon Jun and the others looked surprised instead of playing.

“I guess the dead bodies of the animals scattered out there are demons. I didn't think it was a demon animal at all.” General Yong We sighed softly, yet was quite heard by everyone who was there.

The two special Swordsmen nodded in understanding. They do not blame the lack of knowledge of the people about demonic animals, because there are very few demonic animals that live on the eastern mainland. These demonic animals always keep their distance from human life. They were worried that their existence would attract the attention of the warriors, especially towards the warriors who were indeed hunting demon beasts with the aim of increasing their abilities and cultivation.
