three years passed, as the 15th ruler disappeared, chaos began to spread, due to his weak supervision from the emperors, who were currently focusing on resisting the attacks from the demon headquarters in shinjong city.
on the balance island, Zhang Rui and Xia xhialun were having a serious conversation, their faces looking so riled up.
"brother Zhang, we cannot survive like this continuously" Xia xhialun said
"you're right, since the nightingale army withdrew its troops, we've been so overwhelmed defending the Shinjong fortress" Zhang Rui said.
"the Wang Empire has lost ten thousand soldiers in Shinjong City over the past two years, and this makes me dizzy" Zhang Rui said.
"if our husband were here, my burden would not be this heavy" Zhang Rui said, stroking his forehead.
"this month we will send five thousand archers, to the Shinjong fortress, I hope it helps enough" said Queen Alisa who entered their room.
"it will be of great help to Alisa's sister, I am very grateful" Zhang Rui said as he held the hand of Queen Alisa.
"don't be so sorry brother Zhang, this war is also our responsibility" Queen Alisa said while sitting at the venue

the shinjong city.
"brother Chu, we are now in the Wang empire, robbing here is a little more difficult than where we used to be" said the friend of the person called big brother Chu
"you're right sister ma, here almost every village has great cultivators, aahhh we should move to where we used to be" said big brother Chu who looks thinner than before.
"brother Chu did you hear the story of the cave in the mountains not far from this shinjong city?" ask Ma's sister.
"sister Ma, quickly tell me I'm too busy that I don't have time to listen to the stories of insignificant people" Chu said.
"well, big brother Chu, I heard that the last few months of the cave were inhabited by a very terrible demon, the air that the demon let out was able to kill anything that approached the cave, he said, and his roar made the goosebumps of the person who heard him, his long black hair, and his red eyes, making the person who saw him will die instantly, no one who survived after seeing the demon" said Ma's sister while fixing the clothes because of the creeps.
"if no one survives after seeing the demon, how do they know the devil's hair and eyes?" ask someone who listened to Ma's sister's story.
sister Ma looked confused, though,
"aiiihhhhh, I don't know either" said sister Ma, and a punch landed on her head, the punch coming from big brother Chu.
***
and in a cave that was spoken of, there was a demonic roar that was like the sound of a dragon.
no beast dared to approach, to that place.
a man, with black blood spurting from his lips, and occasionally yelling for enduring the excruciating pain, and a little boy brought a bowl of potions and the man drank them.
and a few months after his, the man looks healed, the face looks fresh and out of the cave was followed by a little girl about 10 years old.
little devil you better clean the body, we're going to enter the city, you look scary in tattered clothes like that" said the little girl, when they stop at the edge of the river flow that the current is not too heavy.
the person called the little devil was Xiao Zhou, just nodding and taking off his clothes and jumping into a very clear river.
the little girl turned her gaze elsewhere, not wanting to see Xiao Zhou's nudity
"shameless basics" the little girl's mutant who was none other than Jung Min Ha.
"little girl why didn't you clean up?" xiao Zhou asked who was now wearing new clothes, with black and long robes in tune, with a white bamboo tree pattern.
"i'm a woman, I don't bathe as carelessly as you do" said Jung Min Ha, who helped Xiao Zhou spruce up her long hair.
"hahaha, you are still 10 years old, no one will know if you are a woman or a man" Xiao Zhou said, chuckling.
"your little devil??? I don't want to talk to you anymore" Jung Min Ha said.
the two of them did not speak and entered the Shinjong city gate, and entered an inn, and they passed by big brother Chu who was followed by younger brother Ma.
"we meet again" Xiao Zhou said
big Brother Chu opened his lips wide, not believing that they would meet Xiao Zhou.
"sister Ma give it fast" Chu brother shouted
sister Ma hurriedly reached into her clothes, with trembling hands and handed the key of her room to Xiao Zhou.
"please brother" said big brother Chu trembling.
"hemmm. I hope you don't mind" Xiao Zhou said and received the key.
"of course big brother, we are robbers, we are already used to sleeping in the forest" big brother Chu said and hurriedly left Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou crouched down to have his body aligned with Jung Min Ha.
"fool girl, go to my room there is still a little business" Xiao Zhou said.
Jung Min Ha simply nodded, and hugged Xiao Zhou.
"little devil come back soon" said Jung Min Ha.

on the west coast of shinjong.
the drums of war continued to sound, the two hostile forces fighting each other, with their respective strategies.
the holy monk Guang Tong and the divine sword of Li Quan Yue looked like they were overwhelmed by a man with a long twin sword.
"eat you" said the masked young man with his twin swords
traangggg....
"level 9 golden pagoda" cried the holy monk Guang Tong.
traangggg.....
the long sword was pitted against the golden pagoda of the monk Guang Tong
holy monk Guang Tong was unable to withstand the enormous qi energy of the masked young man and was thrown,
"this is impossible, my golden pagoda was cracked by that young man" the grunts of the holy monk Guang Tong gushed black blood from his lips.
holy monk Guang Tong started cross-legged, and closing his eyes, his right hand formed a tread in front of his chest.
the masked young man with the twin swords, not wasting a chance and darting into the air let out a cross slash from the air towards the holy monk, the masked young man was none other than Sun Long
traangggg.....
the energy sword that sun Long was thrust into was pitted against by the slash of the energy sword that was released by a beautiful woman, that woman was none other than Lou Rong.
Lou Rong looked very different, her white skin looked smooth and radiant, her face looked so beautiful, with natural red lips, an ancient sacred lettering visible behind her left ear, with a slightly bold outfit, her large mountain exposes were beautiful, and also her long thighs were occasionally seen.
illustration by Lou Rong.
"miss Lou Rong beware, this masked young man has great qi energy" Li Quan Yue said, who already knew Lou Rong because for two years Lou Rong always helped defend the city of Shinjong.
"yes, I know this masked young man very well, and I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time" said Lou Rong with a vengeful face.
holy monk Guang Tong, throwing a necklace that was in the shape of balls the size of an adult's fist into the air, the necklace wrapped around Sun Long's body, and tied him in midair.
"brother Li, his moment" cried the holy monk Guang Tong, with a face full of sweat.
Li Quan Yue, nodded, and let go of his stance.
"the eighteen-step heavenward sword, the final level" cried Li Quan Yue.
the heavenly sword blade, like it split and became eighteen pieces, and each part of it enlarged and aimed at Sun Long's body.
Sun Long whose position was bound by the necklace of monk Guang Tong closed his eyes, and two chains spun around, holding back the eighteen pieces of sword that attacked him.
the chain managed to hold back the sword from Li Quan Yue, although some managed to pierce Sun Long's body, Sun Long's blood spurted on his own face, making him so angry.
"you guys, you are so brave" Sun Long shouted and widened his eyes,
praannkkk.....
the necklace of the holy monk Guang Tong broke off the small balls scattering in the air.
one of Sun Long's chains wrapped around the monk Guang Tong and another wrapped around Lou Rong.
all eyes were wide in disbelief, the necklace was cut off, and was unaware of Sun Long's large chain movement.
Li Quan Yue was in a very disadvantageous position because it was in a full attacking position, without the slightest defense, and it was visible to Sun Long's eyes, as well, and in just one blink of an eye Sun Long was already behind Li Quan Yue, with a long sword ready to slash.
"hehehehe, you're dead" said Sun Long from behind the mask.
Lou Rong, and the holy monk Guang Tong did not expect Li Quan Yue to be Sun Long's next target, his eyes could only be wide-eyed to see Li Quan Yue's life was no longer helped.
a young man saw and quickly darted towards Li Quan Yue, and along with Sun Long's fierce slash.
slaaasshh....
sun Long's sword only cut through the empty air.
sun Long's eyes widened in disbelief, if Li Quan Yue could just disappear, his eyes searched for the whereabouts of Li Quan Yue, but were not found, he said, sun Long's eyes closed as he sensed someone behind him and hit his back hard.
blaaarrr.....
sun Long's body was thrown very hard, and it hit the ground.
mmmmm.....
sun Long's body made such a huge crater in the ground.
everyone stared at a long-haired young man with a mask covering part of his face, was holding onto Li Quan Yue's clothes, and released her, his, Li Quan Yue tried to gain control of his body so as not to fall down and land next to the monk Guang Tong and also the young man.
"you look very different old friend" Li Quan Yue said.
"me? no, I have stayed like this for a long time" Xiao Zhou said, and pulled out his long sword and slashed at Sun Long's chain, disintegrating him.
"say young brother, are you the 15th ruler?" asked the monk Guang Tong who knew Xiao Zhou's mask.
"i don't like this kind of pleasantry situation, but well, I'm Xiao Zhou the ruler of the 15 monks" Xiao Zhou said, introducing himself, and soared into the air where Lou Rong was still tied to a chain.
"have not seen my lady in a long time, do you recognize me?" xiao Zhou said and slashed the chain to pieces.
"you?" that was the only word that came out of Lou Rong's lips, her eyes staring deeply into Xiao Zhou's eyes.
"that eye I'll never forget" Lou Rong said again, her pretty face flushed red, and quickly turned her gaze toward Sun Long, who began to stand up with great anger.
"let me alone, it's time to bury this bastard forever" Xiao Zhou said and darted and landed before Sun Long.
lou Rong's chest was pounding fast, making her a little claustrophobic,
"the little boy had changed, although his cultivation level was still at the heavenly level, but his aura was so different from that of the heavenly swordsman in general, even though with that mask, he looked so charismatic, and still fascinate me" muttered Lou Rong the corner of her lips curved upwards.
