Chaos Systems
Chapters. 28 - Dao Xun Valley Vibration
Dao Xun Valley, the ruins of the palace of Xingyue's first king, Mu Quan Shi two hundred years ago, the territory of the Hua Jian Sect.
A group of cavalrymen, coming with swords in their hands and all wearing armor with Zhang dynasty logo.
A few days ago, there was news that said that the ruthless aura of King Xingyue reappeared in the Dao Xun valley. Some merchants who passed through this road, claimed to be often attacked by troops from the Fourth king of Xingyue who had a shape like a corpse without flesh and blood.
These troops attacked mercilessly and wounded some of the merchants before Zhang's imperial troops came and killed the corpses.
Emperor of the Zhang dynasty, has a small name that is rarely mentioned by people and even his own family since he served as Emperor for the four regions. They called him Nan Wu and his official name was Zhang Shen Long.
As soon as the news of the Dao Xun valley was conveyed to him, Zhang Shen Long directly ordered some of his soldiers to immediately besiege the Dao Xun valley and capture the ghosts present there including the remnants of King Mu Quan Shi's spiritual consciousness it's on his throne.
And finally, this happened with the departure of fifty elite soldiers sent to capture the ghosts that were there including the rest of Mu Quan Shi's spiritual awareness.
"General Zhu! Why don't we destroy the ruins of Xingyue's first king's palace so that this doesn't happen again?" Ask a soldier riding his horse behind a general whom he refers to as general Zhu.
General Zhu coughed softly as he watched the palace ruins that looked extremely dirty and unkempt for hundreds of years. He also focused his attention on a large building that looked solid even though the fortress looked very fragile and had partially collapsed, eroding with rainwater.
"Two hundred years ago, the Cultivators only had the desire to kill the four Xingyue kings who controlled all four different regions. The four regions were the territory of Long Yu Mountain, Nian Gu, Yin Lang and Hua Jian. The battle finally took place and was won by the Cultivators. However, even though they had managed to kill the four Xingyue kings, they could not kill the hatred of their king including his soldiers who had fallen with him. As a result, even though these ruins were destroyed, what they did would definitely bear fruit in vain. They would only kill the materials they had however, the hatred they could not see but feel. If it did happen, the spirits here would be furious and haunt the four regions." General Zhu was clear about his troops.
"Then, what about the ruins of Xingyue king's palace that were in another region? Wouldn't it be if one had already shown a point of hatred, the other three kings would have done the same?”
Just as the soldier ended his sentence, suddenly the ground they were stepping on at this moment suddenly shook violently and collapsed some of the ruins that had been weathered by water. And the longer, the vibration gets bigger and more pronounced to make their horse shudder in fear. The ruins are in that the hills are watching each other and at any time will experience landslides and drown the people who stand under it.
General Zhu looked around and began to feel that there was something strange here. His premonition said that something bad would happen to them. The earth tremors kept popping and made their horses stomp their feet repeatedly.
"Don't, the merchants are lying. We haven't found any bodies here. All just a pile of rocks. Did Your Majesty deliberately make us as bait?" General Zhu's unceasing murmuring watched around.
"General Zhu! The hill is on your right!" Shouted a soldier while pointing towards a hill on the right side of General Zhu.
During the tremors, the hills on their right and left sides, both of them smashed into each other. And the hill on the right wing, finally collapsed and there was a landslide carrying large rock material that would befall them.
"Go! Leave duty!" Shouted General Zhu who immediately pulled his horse back and left the place while leading some of his troops who were still just there.
The entire army eventually moved back with their general still in the rear row, watching for any suspicious moves.
And when they almost got outside, suddenly one of the soldiers stopped stepping. He seemed petrified in the same place while looking at the face of a teenage girl who was currently standing on a mound of stone, playing a sitar melodiously.
The girl looked beautiful with white hair that floated beautifully carried by the gentle breeze. Highlight his eyes were so seductive and his skin had a color equivalent to snow, making any man who saw it would feel tempted to him.
”He is the ghost of Dao Xun Valley, Su Lingyu! Don't look him in the eye!" Shouted General Zhu who immediately pulled the soldier's hand away from the ghost of Su Lingyu who was still playing his zither.
”Yi (one), Erl (two),... San (three). Execution time begins." Said Su Lingyu whose voice sounded hoarse and vague in their ears.
After she ended her sentence, Su Lingyu played her zither louder and higher. His fingers were so skilled at moving the strings and a gust of evil spiritual energy began to spread all over the place in the valley.
"Blood is avenged with blood, eyes are avenged with eyes and life is avenged with life. My king has struggled to balance the territory and fought with the other three Xingyue kings in order to protect his people. You think I'll let you go after you intrude on my king's grave?!”
The harder Su Lingyu's sitar game was, the more chaotic the Dao Xun valley became. Huge rocks fell from the top of the valley and the lands they were burning turned red and human bones appeared from the ground! These undead troops, just directly attacked the Palace troops with the sword they carried in their hands.
"Get my king and apologize to him!"

The next day, Rongye River waterfall.
"Focus slightly! Don't think much of it when you're forming the starting point of your cultivation!" Zhao Bingyan snapped after she hit Mu Chen Xiao's back using a piece of wood she found inside the forest.
"Oh duh,... Can you treat me well again? Maybe my back will break before it forms a starting point." Said Mu Chen Xiao while holding his back which felt hot after being beaten five times.
Zhao Bingyan folded her hands and said, "You're still lucky because I was the one who taught you. If you only knew what it was like to be taught by a mountain spirit, you would be grateful that you were only beaten with wood and not stabbed with embers."
”Zhao Bingyan wasn't taught to the old man?!” the stunned Inner Mu Chen Xiao heard him and immediately turned his head towards Zhao Bingyan before he asked, "Why did the Great Master choose to be taught by the mountain spirits and not to humans?"
Zhao Bingyan lowered her expression and replied, "Because it used to be a place of war instead of a training ground."
”If you remember again, now is the 15th year of the Zhang dynasty. That means, fifteen years ago was the scene of a war between the Zhang family and the Yan family. They fought for the throne of the kingdom.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao who tried to remember back.
"Hey! Why are you interviewing me when I'm training you. Do it right and I won't hit you!" Zhao Bingyan suddenly said that to him.
"Great teacher! It's harder than ever. Yesterday, it felt like I could easily form the starting point of my cultivation to level two of the earth realm without even anyone's help. But, why does it feel so hard to do now?" Said Mu Chen Xiao who was trying to find an excuse so that he could leave his current training ground.
"However you should immediately reshape that shattered starting point of your cultivation. Otherwise, I would have to make you a servant in the big house of the Zhao family."
”Home waiter?! What does she mean is a housekeeper?” inner Mu Chen Xiao who looked resignedly heard it.
"Great teacher Zhao! There was a Palace envoy who requested that the Great Master meet him immediately!" Said a young man who ran in a hurry to meet him at the Rongye river.
"Well, then I'm forced to postpone the training." Zhao Bingyan said back while looking towards the young man who was currently running towards her.
”Good opportunity to escape!” mu Chen Xiao's inner voice was suddenly overjoyed as soon as this good news sounded in his ears.
Zhao Bingyan took something from behind her clothes and displayed a paper spell she used to restrain someone. When he was about to leave, Zhao Bingyan took off the spell in his hand and made a transparent barrier wall that made Mu Chen Xiao unable to leave the place.
”Eh,..?”
Zhao Bingyan who had finished releasing her spell, glanced towards Mu Chen Xiao who was still silent with her puzzled expression. "I know you will leave this place while I meet the envoy of the Palace. So, I've put up a barrier spell so you don't run away from here."
"But Teacher! I can't stay here! I have a life!"
Zhao Bingyan ignored his words and left along with the young man who had previously bothered to meet him as if, she was regarding this Mu Chen Xiao as a blowing wind.
"Zhao Bingyan shit—! Beg—! To—! I killed you!" Shouted Mu Chen Xiao when Zhao Bingyan had already gone away from her place.
"Hey, who's the kid? I just saw her for the first time."
"Looks like he's not a good kid."
Hearing this voice, made Mu Chen Xiao feel astonished because it should be, no one was currently with him. He was only together with the river that was behind him and since then, he was with no one other than Zhao Bingyan who was training him earlier.
Quickly, Mu Chen Xiao looked back however, he did not see anyone behind him. Hmm, that's weird. I think someone was talking there. Could it be that only my imagination is the height?
"Hey son! Look here! How did you get to know Yan'er that close?"
This voice again rang out and made Mu Chen Xiao even more curious as to who was currently trying to talk to him. He turned his head towards the forest and to the top of the waterfall, but he still did not find anyone until in the end, he lowered his head towards the river.
Two ordinary fish that were currently on the surface, were looking towards him. Mu Chen Xiao looked puzzledly and wondered why, he could talk to the fishes in the river.
"Ah, I must be crazy. Instead, I just ignored the two of them.” Inner Mu Chen Xiao who instantly turned around left behind the two fish tails who were trying to talk to him.
"Hey wait! We want to talk to you!"
