The Eastern Dragon Goddess

Demon King Mask

The meeting between the kingdoms was held in the Kingdom of Wei. They frozen the meeting to discuss how to fight the Beiping Kingdom.

Among the round tables that became the meeting place there were already the main characters of each kingdom, there was Xiao Tian from the Xia Kingdom, Tho Zou from the Kolkata Kingdom, and there was also a huge amount of money, and Xu Kong from Wei Kingdom itself became the 3rd strongest kingdom at this time, and also many more kingdoms were present at this meeting such as Allepo kingdom and Shuhan kingdom.

"I don't understand Zhang Yiwen's ambition to embrace the black stream or even he will join them in destroying us" Xu Kong told the audience.

"I'm also confused as to what is the real reason behind this, whether it's for good or for evil. But is it wise if we directly destroy the Beiping Kingdom?" Xiao Tian did not directly agree with the rumors, as Zhang Yiwen was his good friend there was no way he had such a grand ambition to rule over the entire land.

"But why did they attack and even finish off my entire royal army? if that wasn't proof that the Beiping Kingdom wasn't friendly" Fang An couldn't control his emotions anymore because

he did not accept Xiao Tian's opinion.

"Who attacked first? would if you wanted to ask why he turned into a black stream, have to bring in thousands of troops?" Fang An fell silent, he could not answer Xiao Tian's statement because it was indeed a reality.

"Enough!! any kingdom that turns into a black stream is not for good, and from that there is no other word for us than those who are in black are our enemies to be annihilated!" said Xu Kong to break up the battle that had occurred between Xiao Tian and Fang An.

All were silent long enough to consider the words from Xu Kong until the sound of the door being pushed violently resuscitated them all from their respective minds.

"Sorry Your Majesty has interrupted your meeting" someone wearing black from head to toe saluted everyone in the meeting room.

"What's the matter, is there any recent news about the Beiping Kingdom?" said Xu Kong after realizing that the person was the one he had told to spy on the Beiping Kingdom.

"Hamba brought very important news sir" everyone began to focus on listening to what news he was about to deliver.

"Quick say!" the Xu Kong.

"Maybe this sounds very impossible but I am telling you the truth, if the Beiping Kingdom has been destroyed and there is not a single life left" everyone was stunned to hear the statement.

"It__tu ti__dak__ probably" Xiao Tian said stammeredly.

"Hamba wouldn't dare lie sir"

Xu Kong frowned as he felt astonished at exactly what was happening with the Beiping kingdom.

"Then who destroyed the Beiping Kingdom"

"The servant does not know the master, because when the servant got there everything was destroyed and not left, even the servant did not feel the strong energy that was in the Beiping kingdom. But I found a message written in the middle of the hall of the lord's palace"

Everyone began to feel curious about someone who had destroyed the Beiping kingdom.

"What message?" now it was Fang An's turn to ask.

"The Demon King Mask"

All pensively thought of the meaning of the word 'Demon King Mask'.

"I don't know if this is good news or bad news" Xu Kong said.

"Jingmi you think it's the first book I should learn" Xu Lian and Jingmi were in the royal library at the back of the kingdom, this place contains unused books.

"What about this book?" Jingmi pointed to a book with a blue cover with the words 'Inner Energy Improvement Technique'.

Jingmi did not want to ask far about the condition of Xu Lian's body that did not have any inner strength because she did not want to offend him with her question.

They continued to search for the book that Xu Lian would learn from the rising of the sun until the sun was directly above them. Xu Lian gave up he was tired of not being able to find a suitable book for him. Xu Lian sat down under the library with a disappointed face.

"This library is old and it contains only useless books" Xu Lian grumbled.

"But our princess can look for him in the main library of the kingdom" Jingmi tried to comfort Xu Lian who looked very disappointed.

"But I'm not allowed to enter the main palace"

Jingmi could not say anything more. Since Xu Lian's life was indeed very tragic, he wasn't even allowed to enter the main palace moreover he shouldn't call the Emperor by the name of father.

"Jingmi come out, let me be here for a minute!" Jingmi hurriedly left the library, and stood in front of the library. Jingmi feels guilty for Xu Lian being moody because remembering her destiny is indeed sad.

Xu Lian sighed heavily, he always thought the truth of what he was living for. He did not even know what he had done wrong so he was exiled to the palace. Tired, he leaned his back against the wall behind him and closed his eyes.

Kreek.....

"Ehhh....Why is this? why is the wall retreating?" thought Xu Lian then opened his eyes and rushed to get up.

Xu Lian watched the wall he had been leaning against, Xu Lian tried to push deeper into the wall that had moved as he leaned. The size of the wall is about 1meter × 1meter which forms a small door. Xu Lian was surprised by the existence of a secret door in a place like this that even deserved to be called a warehouse. Xu Lian tried to enter out of curiosity, with his small body Xu Lian easily entering the passageway. The length of the hallway is not only 2 meters long.

"There was nothing just an empty, dark passageway" Xu Lian finally decided to turn around and exit the passageway.

Bruckkk.....

"Ohh, my knee hurts" Xu Lian was in pain because her knee hit something hard while she was crawling that wanted to turn around.

"What is this, I can't see it here is so dark" Xu Lianpun decided to take the thing.

"It's a book" shortly after Xu Lian grasped the book, a red light suddenly appeared from the cover of the book he was holding, because of the extremely bright light Xu Lian tried to open the book so that the light was not visible.

JDEEERR......RRRRR .......

The entire society of the Wei kingdom was shocked by the thunderous sound of lightning and was also very sudden even on a very sunny day with no sign of rain.

Even the kings who were walking to the outside of the Wei royal palace were shocked.

"This driver is no ordinary lightning" said Xu Kong, who was embraced by everyone around him.

Xu Lian who was opening the book let out a very strong scream, as the sound of lightning startled him so much that he closed the book again. He immediately rushed out of the hallway.

"Sir, are you okay?" Jingmi was worried about Xu Lian's state because Jingmi heard Xu Lian's screams from outside.

"I'm fine Jingmi, I was just surprised by the sound of lightning earlier" Xu Lian explained after he exited the hallway.

"Daughter is that what you're holding" Jingmi pointed to a book in Xu Lian's hands that was deep red and there was a stone that was also red with a size large enough to be located at the top of the book cover. But the most interesting thing about this book is not the existence of the stone but the engraving of a dragon drawing wrapped around a sword under the stone, because the image was similar even to the mark on the bottom of Xu Lian's right shoulder that Xu Lian might not have realized if the image was the same as the mark on his body.

"I don't know what this book is, because it doesn't have a title on the cover. But I'm still gonna take this book with me"
