The Hunted Hunter

Chapter 330. The Investigation In The Kingdom of Chu

The news of the impending war between the Zhou empire as well as the Yue Wu empire had already reached the ears of Ma Guang who by then had already returned to the sect.

What else was the Zhou empire first that brought the imperial war to Yue Wu.

"What else does the emperor want to accomplish?." Ma Guang thought when he heard the news.

"Ruler! What I heard, a general of the Wind Fire army named Huzhao who was sent by the Zhou empire to declare war with the Yue Wu empire!." Patriarch Yao Han said.

"What's!? Huzhao?." Ma Guang was surprised after hearing the name.

"Is Yun'er involved in this plan? If not! Why is it Huzhao they kirinkan? The only one who has the right to rule is Yun'er!." Thought Ma Guang.

"What's the ruler? Do you know the general?." Asked the patriarch Yao Han who was curious about Ma Guang's change in attitude upon hearing the name.

"Oh.no! I've never heard that name! That is what surprised me!." Answer Ma Guang.

"It looks like Yun'er had a hand in the plan! I need to investigate this immediately!." Thought Ma Guang again.

"Will our sect intervene with the battle that will ensue?." Ask the great elder Xiang Zhang.

"In my opinion, if it's an affair between the two empires, we'd better not have to intervene! Let it be them who solve it!." Answer Ma Guang.

"Ruler! But I think it is the people who will suffer if it happens!." Patriarch Yao Han said.

"It's true what the patriarch said! But we have a rule not to interfere in the matters of the state! We can only, if the state allows it to us!." Reply Ma Guang responded to the words of patriarch Yao Han.

"If the Zhou empire wants to start a war, it means that the emperor has thought carefully about the power and the worst thing that will befall his people!." Ma Guang.

They continued to discuss about the policies of emperor Zhou Muwang who declared war with the Yue Wu empire.

After a while later, they finally disbanded and returned to their respective places.

Ma Guang himself was currently planning a move that he would take.

The man had now begun to suspect his wife Zhou Lu Yun was behind the declaration of war.

Ma Guang spent an entire day together with Duan Meng and Yuan Jiali and their two children.

After which, the man immediately returned to the heavenly god realm to meet Xia Jiao as well as her son.

Two days later, Ma Guang immediately invited general Jiangjun to come with him.

Jiangjun followed the ruler.

"General Jiangjun! You must change your face with someone else's!." Ma Guang said.

"Good ruler!." Jiangjun replied who instantly did as Ma Guang commanded.

After Jiangjun finished doing what Ma Guang ordered, the two of them immediately moved from that place and headed to the region Ma Guang was referring to.

The two of them left the territory of the Heavenly Dragon sect without the knowledge of anyone other than the king Long Wang himself who was always ready to obtain orders from Ma Guang.

The two of them shot towards the territory of the Chu kingdom which was directly adjacent to the territory of the Yue Wu empire.

After a while both of them flew, Ma Guang and Jiangjun arrived at the territory of the Chu kingdom.

When Ma Guang saw a small town, the two landed and began to continue on foot.

Not to forget also Ma Guang suppressed his cultivation level to the level of a king swordsman.

But for Jiangjun, his cultivation level was at the level of a saint swordsman.

Upon entering the gate, they passed through an inspection at the city gate.

Both of them could get through without any problems.

Both were greeted by a servant.

"Let's sir! Welcome to our shop!." Said the waiter kindly while delivering the two towards an empty place to be occupied.

"Please sit down, sir! What would you both order?." Said the servant who immediately asked the two.

"We ordered the best dishes and wine in the store!." Ma Guang said.

"Okay sir! Please wait a minute!." Said the servant while leaving the two.

Ma Guang immediately increased his perception and began to want to hear every conversation that was spoken by everyone who was in the tavern as well as the waiters and shop owners.

"It looks like the two warriors are from outside the territory of the Chu kingdom! What is the purpose of the two of them to visit our city?." A visitor to the store told his two colleagues while whispering.

"Yes! At the end of this there are so many warriors coming to our city but we do not know him!." His partner responded to his friend's words.

It could be heard by Ma Guang, but he still showed his usual attitude.

"Is it all because of the declaration of war from our emperor to the Yue Wu empire?." Continue another one.

"In my opinion, it's most likely that's what caused all that!." Answer a friend of theirs.

Ma Guang could also hear the conversation at the other table as well.

"I see it looks like the members of the Black Crow sect are starting to be seen moving eastward! Do they have any connection to that impending battle?."

"I'm also not sure if the Black Crow sect is involved with the battle! For they were once strongly opposed to the Zhou imperial government! What else is it that Ma Guang is now the son-in-law of the emperor! It would definitely make them even more unsupportive of emperor Zhou Muwang!."

"Yes! Even though we should be grateful that our empire will no longer be underestimated by other empires because the swordsman Ma Guang is his son-in-law!."

"Is the will to fight also supported by Ma Guang?."

"I thought it could be like that! Because Ma is also the warrior who helped our empire free from any movement of groups - groups that are very disturbing people!."

"Damn! It turned out that the Zhou empire's actions to fight were very influential as well with My name!." Ma Guang thought when he heard the conversation of some people inside the tavern.

"Ruler! Are we just letting those who keep talking about the ruler?." Jiangjun asked through his spiritual power.

"Let them talk about Me! Because this response is what we must hear the voice of the people of the Zhou empire!." Reply Ma Guang responded to Jiangjun's question.

"Why is that?." Ask Jiangjun again.

"That is why it is our goal to come to this territory of the Chu kingdom!." Terang Ma Guang answered Jiangjun's question.

Not long after, finally the servants came to bring the order that Ma Guang ordered.

"Sorry sir for waiting so long!." Said the waiter who had originally served Ma Guang and Jiangjun while telling the other servants to put down the food and wine ordered by Ma Guang.

"No problem, no problem!." Ma Guang replied to the servant's words.

Finally Ma Guang and Jiangjun also enjoyed the dishes that were already available in front of the two.

But the existence of both became the center of attention of all visitors in the tavern.

Not infrequently they also ask about the identity of the two that they just saw.

"General Jiangjun! After this we will also visit other stores to find more information from the residents who are in this city!." Ma Guang said through his spiritual power.

"Yes the ruler!." Jiangjun replied briefly.
