Imperial palace


After staying for some time in the palace Tirta Sagara finally came out upon hearing the news of the return of the Crown Prince of the Han Empire, Prince Han Luo


While passing in the park area Tirta Sagara passed by a servant who turned out to be the butler of the palace


Tirta Sagara with a friendly smile greeted him politely


" good morning Uncle, can I ask you something "


The butler replied to him while bowing his head


" Please Young Master "


" Em, is the Prince really back "


" Young Master "


" Where is he now, can I find him "


" Young Master,, Mr. Prince is now at the Meeting Hall with the palace family as well as some officials, he said,if the Young Master wants to see him, the Young Master should ask permission first to the great General Li or to the palace eunuch "


" Oh, so, well thank you Uncle, sorry to interrupt your time "


" It's okay Young Master, then I beg you to say goodbye, excuse me "the servant's head stepped in with a smile on his lips


He remembers the first time Tirta Sagara came to the palace, he said,the commotion he caused would certainly be remembered by anyone who witnessed it but that was not what made him smile but the way Tirta Sagara spoke which is now much better than before which ever made Emperor Han and the great general Li and several members of the palace family had to be extremely patient when facing him


After the death of the butler Tirta Sagara again walked but when in the corner of a building he almost hit someone who came from the opposite direction


" HEY IF YOU GO WITH YOUR EYES "


" hah, is not walking on foot not eyes "murm Tirta Sagara


A moment later Tirta Sagara gasped as he recalled the voice of the person who was snapping at him


" Daughter Master Xiao Ling, I'm sorry I didn't know there was anyone behind this building "


" Eh,, Mr. Tirta, I'm sorry who "


Princess Han Xiao Ling's face immediately blushed from feeling embarrassed by her actions just now


" It's okay my Princess is wrong not to be careful "


" Eh, I'm wrong for walking in a hurry "


" No, I'm the heartless one "


" No, I'm the one who should apologize "


Tirta Sagara's attitude made Han Xiao Ling's daughter misbehaved, this was the first time she had spoken to a stranger aside from the palace family and some noble families and subordinates of her father


" So,,, uh,,"


The two spoke almost simultaneously making the atmosphere awkward, Han Xiao Ling's daughter's face blushing even more


Tirta Sagara who realized the condition of the girl in front of him again said


" Please the Princess speak first "


" Ah yes, thank you emmm actually I was instructed by the Emperor's Father to pick you up "reply Han Xiao Ling's daughter bowed down


Tirta Sagara was a little surprised to hear that, whether this was a coincidence or indeed a fate,,,


**********


Jun Yuan woke up in a dark place and he doubted whether his eyes were open or not


His forehead frowned when he realized he could not feel the slightest inner force within him even he was unable to sense the energy around him


Arriving a little far in front of him came sparks that then triggered eight other fires that were also lit around him,apparently the fire was nine torches that illuminated the place two of them glowed dimly with smaller flames


Jun Yuan circulated his gaze paying attention to every detail around him


Apparently he was in a place similar to a cave just there was no way in or out


On the walls of the room there are many ancient writings and symbols and seals in certain places and there are also pictures of a series of fights of two creatures with different types


Jun Yuan flinched as in that silence he heard the sound of someone breathing, immediately he was alert as his senses gave off a danger signal


Instantly he fell to his knees as an aura oppressed him, suppressing him to the point of being unable to resist


" HAHAHAHAHA,,,,"


A laughter resounded along with a gripping aura


" I didn't expect this time to be trapped inside someone so weak "


A hoarse and heavy voice rang out while Jun Yuan was dead Matian tried to survive the force that was suppressing him


" Who are you "Even though Jun Yuan tried to speak


" Who am I" the voice replied


Silent,,,


After a while the suppressive aura disappeared along with the appearance of a creature


Jun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the pressure, slowly he got up after his breathing started to stabilize


His eyes narrowed when he saw the figure that appeared in front of him, the figure had the exact same appearance as himself only there was a slight difference in some parts


If it had no wings and horns Jun Yuan was sure he would have considered the figure before him a shadow of himself


" Who are you "Jun Yuan repeated his question


The figure snorted


" Hmpph, besides being weak you're also stupid "


Jun Yuan again flinched


" What do you mean "


" You ask with the answer you know yourself isn't that stupid "reply the figure


" Oh, so it's true that you're a heart demon" replied Jun Yuan who turned calm


" Yes, but it's not entirely true "reply the figure


Jun Yuan's forehead creased back


" i'm not exactly the creature you think I am but, more than that "the figure explains the cruel grin at his appearance


Jun Yuan was getting confused


" Then, what kind of creature are you "


" Hahahaha, I am a being created from the evil nature and negative energy of all the darkness in this world "


the terrifying force bursting from the figure made the place tremble


Jun Yuan tried to remain conscious as the power charged at his soul directly


" It's strange, actually where I am and what kind of creature he is, I feel like I've never read or known any information about him but why I feel familiar with him and this place " the Bathin Jun Yuan


Jun Yuan's gaze blurred, his consciousness slowly eroded by the force that was suppressing him


" Fuck, does it have to end like this "


**********


Elsewhere, precisely in the inn room


Mu Qiaoyu panicked as she felt the change in her friend's body, the four parts of Jun Yuan's body that contained the seal gave off light and a terrifying aura erupted


The thin Black Smoke coming out from Jun Yuan's body blew away Mu Qiaoyu as she tried to help by channeling her pure air to suppress the aura


" Ughuck,,"


Mu Qiaoyu coughed in blood after being hit by a backlash her face turned pale


" Xiao Di, what really happened to you "he muttered


While being on the verge of panic and worry Mu Qiaoyu felt an energy appear


The circular Universal Bracelet on Jun Yuan's arm glowed faintly and then disappeared again as a ray of energy shot out


After hovering for a moment the energy beam then shot in right at Jun Yuan's chest


" Who is it,," Mu Qiaoyu muttered in surprise


**********


Back to Jun Yuan


As he was about to lose his consciousness Jun Yuan saw an energy appear suppressing the force attacking him, as Jun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after the pressure he felt disappeared


Slowly the energy formed the figure of a woman


The figure that resembled Jun Yuan then snorted looking at the newly emerged figure with disdain


" SHIJIE de Meili, why do you always interrupt my pleasure "


The figure of the woman who was none other than Mei Lin grinned


" How could I possibly be silent when I find out that a filthy creature like you who doesn't even have a true form is trying to upset the balance of nature "


Jun Yuan was shocked when he found out the figure who was helping him


" Senior,,,"


Indeed, the figure who inhabits his sword now has a much different appearance than usual as if affirming who he really is


Mei Lin turned around then smiled before saying


" Let's get out of here, it's not yet time for you to come to this place "


" But,,,"


" Don't argue,,,"


" But he,, is,,,"


" Haaahhh, you take it easy, that ugly creature will do nothing as long as I am "


Slowly Mei Lin and Jun Yuan were enveloped in white-colored energy then disappeared in an instant


The figure that resembled Jun Yuan instantly exploded in anger from feeling neglected especially when he saw the two figures in front of him disappear as if underestimating him


" ****** DAMN IT,, LESS TEACHING, MOTHERFUCKER "
