One week later,
Rai and his entourage had been in a place that the Zhao clan had set up as the starting point for the expedition participants to gather into the mysterious dimension.
This time, there was a woman who joined Rai's entourage. He was Zhao Yan. The young miss of the Zhao clan who was infatuated with Rai from the very beginning of her appearance.
"Rai, what are we gonna do in there?" zhao Yan asked in a spoiled tone that made Rin's ears sting.
"you reckon? You were there when I asked for permission to enter this mysterious dimension! You should know what's the reason I got in there, right? So, don't pretend that you didn't hear what I said in the meeting hall just yet! Understood?" rai replied in a tone that was not pleasant to hear.
Zhao Yan bowed listlessly. He certainly did not expect an answer like Rai said. But on the other hand, Rin was pleased with Rai's reply which left Zhao Yan disappointed.
Soon enough, Zhao Kun as the head of the Zhao clan, opened the inter-dimensional connecting portal.
Rai and his entire entourage immediately entered the portal with the rest of the participants before the portal closed again.

In the mysterious dimension, Rai, Rin, Raiden, Miyuki and Zhao Yan are presented with beautiful forest scenery. Birds chirping, dew soaking the leaves. Creating an atmosphere of peace desired by peace-loving humans.
Slashwas... Zrat...
However, that peace changed when a giant bear monster was about to attack Zhao Yan. Luckily, the giant bear was killed by Rai with one swing of his hand.
"Be careful! This area is inhabited by many powerful monsters!" rai said he gave a warning.
"Zhao Yan, do you know where the Natural Ginseng Plant is located?" ask Rai.
"Natural Ginseng Plants are always moving places of life! But, mostly in the area around the cave!" replied Zhao Yan.
"All right! I'll split the group! Rin, Miyuki and Zhao Yan will be exploring the Western and Southern part of the forest! Raiden and I will go through the forests of the East and the North! If anyone finds a Natural Ginseng Generator, contact me through this Communication Jade!" rai clearly handed over two Communication Jades to Rin and Miyuki.
"No! I don't want to part with you Rai! Please, I don't want to be away from you!" whining Zhao Yan.
"Be quiet, Zhao Yan! You can't manage me! You're here with me, just because I did your father's terms! If it wasn't for the Natural Ginseng Generator, I wouldn't be here and wouldn't have met you again!" clearly Rai with a high tone.
"Have this, Zhao Yan! I'm not here for you! I'm only here for the Natural Ginseng Generator! That's all! Don't expect more and don't be a hindrance to me! Understood?" connect Rai with emphasis in each sentence.
"Hiks... Hua... I didn't think you were this big, Rai? Hix... Hicks..." Zhao Yan cried hearing Rai's words.
"Yes, I am this big! Especially for a stranger like you! Come on Raiden, let Rin and Miyuki take care of it! I don't have much time!" Rai soon disappears from there along with Raiden. Leaving Zhao Yan who was crying sobbing. Meanwhile, Rin and Miyuki only saw him without any intention to calm him down.

"Rai, don't you feel sorry for that young lady of the Zhao clan?" ask Raiden.
"Why feel pity? He is also my nobody!" answer Rai ketus.
"Oh yes, he's none of you! But she's still a girl! And women have fragile hearts!" tukas Raiden who felt a little pity for Zhao Yan.
"The fragility of a woman's heart, must still be ready to accept any bittersweet reality! I know, that Zhao Yan likes me, but I don't! So, I confirmed it early so that there was no misunderstanding, even though I expressed it in a different way!" clearly Rai was firm.
Raiden. What Rai said was true. He must express his true feelings so as not to have misunderstandings. However, he had an opinion that the expression should not hurt others.
Taps...
It didn't take long for Rai to see the contents of the cave. A fight between a warrior and a giant white gorilla becomes the first thing Rai sees. He could also see the presence of the Natural Ginseng Plant behind the white gorilla monster..
"God of Luck seems to be on our side" Rai muttered as Raiden could hear.
"What's wrong? Did you find the Natural Ginseng Generator?" ask Raiden curiously.
"Well, I saw it! But, we have been preceded by someone who is now dealing with the guardian of the Natural Ginseng Generation!" rai replied while preparing his katana sword.
"Guard? Who's the guard, Rai?" ask Raiden again.
"Golden-stage King-level Hell Beast, White Gorilla King!" Rai drew his katana sword, followed by Raiden who was ready with two lightning swords in each of his hands.

In the cave, though,
Trangs...
Bruck...
"Argh... This Hell Beast is so powerful! Uhuk... Uhuk.." lamented the man who was dealing with the White Gorilla King.
"With my current cultivation base, I won't be able to defeat him" the man said softly. He was ready for the end of his life, which would have ended tragically.
"Sir... Dukes... Dukes... OHHHHHH!!!" The White Gorilla King banged his chest several times before advancing to launch an attack.
"Well... In the end, I couldn't have it either. Goodbye, Zhao Yan," the man murmured as he imagined the beautiful face of Zhao Yan as he smiled. The man smiled. Although death was about to pick her up, she was still happy to see Zhao Yan's face one last time.
When the White Gorilla King's attack was already very close to the man, suddenly...
Swush... DUARR...
A clanging sound was heard clearly to the point of making the man shocked. He opened his eyes and was shocked when he saw two men who were facing the White Gorilla King.
"You guys?! W-did you come to save me? Are you from the Zhao clan?" ask the man. He felt a sense of hope to survive the wrath of the White Gorilla King.
"We are not from the Zhao clan! We came here to take the Natural Ginseng Generator! It just so happened that you were here, so we decided to save you!" the answer to the man who is none other than Rai.
"Oh, so! Thank you!" said the man.
Rai glanced at the clothes worn by the man and found the emblem of the Zhao clan attached at the front.
"It looks like you're from the Zhao clan! Say your name!" Rai.
"My name is Zhao Jiang!" replied the man named Zhao Jiang.
"Alright, Zhao Jiang! This time I'll save you, but you'll have to help me!" tukas Rai that made Zhao Jiang confused.
"You mean?"
"You'll find out later!"
Rai immediately helps Raiden who is dealing with the White Gorilla King. It didn't take long for the two of them to defeat the White Gorilla King due to their superior number and cultivation base.
