THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

Tio Hongli

***

The battles that took place in the Southern Region or the Red Region were instantly widespread throughout the entire White Fort region. Everyone knew it was an attack by the Academy against the Red Ribbon.

The battle that caused the entire Red Ribbon Headquarters to be destroyed was also felt by all the White Citadel People from all over the Region, while the Governments only got the prisoners and the remnants of the destruction of the Red Ribbon Headquarters.

"Said Elder Lao, there are intruders from the Bright Star Continent who are trying to build up power in this our Region. How could the guards not be aware if there were any intruders entering the territory of our White Fort?" said a middle-aged woman sitting on one of the seats lined up right and left. At the very end there are five seats with one seat highest in the middle.

"Did Elder Lao say what would the name of the intruder be? Who knows, he knows it and gives us that information" said an old man dressed in a luxurious white robe like a king, as well as sitting in the middle seat of the five seats lined up.

"No Master! Elder Lao did not provide more information other than that," replied a middle-aged man.

"Sir. According to the servant, it seems that this intruder in question is not an ordinary Cultivator. We all already know that the Bright Star Continent is the Continent where Cultivators have very high abilities. According to Servant maybe this intruder broke into our territory through another path that only high-level Cultivators can take," said a man wearing white Armor and similar to a War General.

"General Yie Tao, I ask you to conduct an inspection in the Red Territory, lest such a group be able to disturb the peace in the entire White Fort Region!" said the figure who was in the middle seat.

"Okay, my lord" replied General Yie Tao.

"Will the remaining prisoners of the Red Ribbon be punished for life?" ask the middle-aged woman.

"We'll find out where they came from. After that we can make a decision."

"Now we will discuss the problems that are going on in Funsu City! I heard that the Mayor was making a movement to start a rebellion to overthrow the Governor there" said one elderly man sitting between the five seats.

"That mayor was wrongly named Xia Ding instead! Recently there was news if Xia Ding was actually from the Green Mainland Continent, and the last news, he would have sentenced to death one of the women who came from the Green Mainland Continent."

The middle-aged man continued his story regarding the matter that happened to that Mayor who was none other than Xia Ding. A Mayor who is appointed mayor by the governor of Funsu City.

The news of the appearance of the woman who came from the Green Land Continent was also heard by some officials. According to the information they got, the Woman from the Green Land Continent came with her two children who claimed to be the Wife and child of the Mayor who was left behind in the Green Land Continent.

But it made the mayor angry and accused the woman of slandering him. The woman and her two children also had guards, she was Zhang Wei, the Mayor's stepson.

But Xia Ding was getting angrier and then told his mercenaries who were all high-ranking Cultivators to capture the woman and fight against the strength of Zhang Wei's Guards.

As a result of the feud, Funsu City was increasingly struck by fear due to the fight from both sides, while Zhang Wei's mother at that time fell ill due to the shock of the incident that befell the Son and her husband.

The governor who intended to reconcile the matter actually got a rebellion from Xia Ding, and now the situation is getting worse.

"The people hired by the Mayor are from anywhere?"

"They are from my Lord's Red Territory!"

"Once again the people of the Red Territory. Should we just close this Red Territory? The mess all along has often been related to them."

"Not even my Lord. Actually not only the red area rented by the Mayor, but also from the Yellow Region seems to be involved."

Tio Hongli himself was a Cultivator who had already reached Yu Jing Peak stage, and was a little more about to break through Xu Hun stage.

"It is better that my Lord send reinforcements to the Governor in order to help him fight against the Mayor's power. Which I heard the Mayor has an expert who makes the Governor not dare to make a movement to stop the Mayor's lunge."

"An expert! We don't have a single expert in the government yet, it looks like I'll have to ask the Academy for help to deal with this matter."

"Hamba agrees, my lord. Even if the Elders can't leave, there are still some people in the Academy who seem to be able to deal with the strength of these Experts."

"Yung Dao, I order you to bring this letter to the Academy and submit my request that the Academy be willing to deploy assistance to Funsu City, let alone the City adjacent to the Academy, as for the time being, I will send a black Horse force that will be led by General Jia Xang to help the Governor," said Tio Hongli.

The Black Horse Force was an elite Force that was extremely skilled at conducting close and long distance combat. They were equipped with protective armor made of thin metal and horses that were also coated with strong armor, not to mention the troops equipped with three weapons, namely Sword, Spear, and others, and the Arrow Arc so they become a deadly elite army.

Yung Dao is the prime minister of defense with a fat body as well as a distended stomach. Although he was fat and distended like that, but he was also a Cultivator who was at the level of Yu Zha.

He used to serve as a war general. As he got older, he resigned and Tio Hongli appointed him Prime Minister of Defense.

After all the plans have been set, the generals who get their respective assignments immediately leave, and most importantly, help solve the problems in Funsu City.

"Give this to Elder Xhang and also convey my salute to him! Say my apology because I can't come alone because I have a lot of government work to do!" tio Hongli.

"Hamba will definitely convey it to you, my lord," replied Yung Dao.

"Go up and be careful, make sure the letter is safe and reaches the hands of Elder Xhang" Tio Hongli said.

"good. Then I leave now" said Yung Dao, bowing his body.

"Please" replied Tio Hongli.

Yung Dao immediately came out and summoned some great warriors to accompany him to go to the Heaven Wind Peak Academy. They all numbered 30 people who on average had the abilities of Yu Zhi and Yu Zha.

All went on horseback, usually they would carry a cart-drawn stretcher with four horses to carry one of the officials.

It was just that Yung Dao was never willing to follow the spoiled ways of the other officials who always wanted to be served even while traveling.

Thirty horses were driven and the horses were running very fast and also agile towards the Heaven Wind Peak Academy, while Tio Hongli who was looking from the roof of the palace turned his head to the sky.

"Dad! I beg you to give me the strength to face the problems that are afflicting this country!" muttered Tio Hongli with a long sigh.

Tio Hongli had actually never expected to become a Leader in his father's stead, he was forced to become the leader of the Country due to the demands of the bloodline, he said, again he is the only descendant of the Tio family who became the sole heir and succeeded his elderly and sickly father.

After being appointed the White Fortress Leader, Tio Hongli's father passed away, and now Tio Hongli's dream of exploring the Continent and becoming a high-level Cultivator had to be buried
