Yesterday's events witnessed the first historical betrayal of the Yan empire led by Emperor Gaozo. Led by a defector named Alean. Men of foreign nations skinny white tall and blonde hair.
Not only that, it seems Alean is just an accomplice of the original defector leader who has not been caught. Alean and all his men, the original people of Yan who were consumed by the doctrine to defect, were sentenced that morning to be beheaded by the emperor before the people of the capital.
General Zuan loudly told the residents and as an implied message to the leader of the defectors, those who committed or supported this act will be punished similarly, because of the many casualties caused by the action. Kazuki who had taken down many of their members was also seriously injured. Threatened members of the empire and the nobles. Now the empire is back in high alert. The announcement of the contest was delayed by a week.
Prime Minister Longwei, on foot in a simple robe, visited Kazuki, who was resting in the health hall.
"How are you doing, young man?" ask the Master while positioning his seat as comfortable as possible on the sofa.
"Okay, mr prime minister!" The man's mood was bad because he was hungry.
Mr. Longwei smiled broadly feeling that the chosen one was fine. He gave the fruits of the hand that he deliberately bought when he was about to come to Kazuki. The starving youth was instantly delighted and immediately ate it voraciously. One by one the fruit was eaten until leaving one grain of wine.
"This is for Mr. Prime Minister" he said with a sweet smile. The flat-faced Mr. Longwei then ate the wine.
"Damma!"
Kazuki checked his pouch then took out the purplish crystal stone he got from the alpha pair of the wolf pack during the hunt. He showed it to Mr. Longwei. The old man knew very well the purplish crystal Kazuki was holding. That thing was a spiritual beast crystal formed from the centralized radiance of cultivating a high-level spiritual beast. By absorbing his energy, a Cultivator could drastically increase his cultivation energy.
For a moment Mr. Longwei looked at Kazuki then asked seriously. "Who exactly are you, Ishikawa Kazuki?"
Kazuki was speechless staring at the soothing dark-colored wooden roof of the health hall. Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Kazuki said everything cleanly from start to finish to the Prime Minister after he had established his heart that the man could be trusted. Starting from the forbidden scroll to his identity as a ninja. Everything he said except regarding Seizen, that human demon was a problem in his world so there was no need to be brought here.
"What can a ninja do?" asked Mr. Longwei curiously.
Kazuki also presented one of his mainstays, teleportation. With the speed of one blink of an eye he can move to where he wants. It was enough to make the old man satisfied and amazed, how powerful the existence of ninjas if only they were in this world. After Kazuki said his goal was to return to his home world to save the fate of the clan, Longwei the prime minister gave him an offer.
"If in your world there are scrolls that serve as a bridge to this world, that should also be the case here. As far as this Master was in Fu province, it was located far to the west that was the center of talented Cultivators. It was said that there was a library of cultivation gates that contained all the continent's complete knowledge coming from the spirits. There you may get what you want. However to be able to enter there you are at least already cultivation level 8-"
"What?!" Kazuki played his finger as if counting something.
'I'm the fourth level just confessing to me. The eighth level, can-can wait a century!' inner fretting.
Mr. Longwei smiled knowing the young man's unrest, "Just calm down, this master will find you a guide who will help improve your cultivation quickly." Hearing that, Kazuki was relieved. But soon he realized that these fathers before him would not offer anything for nothing.
Mr. Longwei glanced left right before starting the conversation. Luckily the hall was quite quiet and only a few people were still lying in a coma. The conversation will be very serious and secret, anyone else concubine Wang for the prime minister should not know.
"I'll explain from the beginning. About two years ago precisely when the lunar eclipse, the prophecy of the young man from another world came to the Yan Empire was pronounced directly by Princess Yi, the, the Princess said that this young man would bring peace and change in the Yan empire. Everyone believed let alone Princess Yi back then was a cultivation genius who was already level 5. However, it has been a while and residents may have forgotten it, especially the event has not had any signs. The Princess often helped the emperor in solving the problems of an area. At that time, the province of Rong was led. The province is bordering the Dong Empire area, later this lord discussed. Princess Yi successfully resolved the problems in the province and developed it into an inter-Empire trade center. But not for long did a terrible incident happen. The princess disappeared followed by the prince of Dong Empire who also disappeared. Empress Dong, Meng Xiao back then accused the Yan empire of kidnapping the prince. Between the two empires there was a cold war. Not so long ago Princess Yi returned to the capital in a very apprehensive state. The princess lost some of her memories and experienced a trauma that caused excessive fear when in contact with death." Mr. Longwei drank the water Kazuki gave him.
"Next, word found her daughter Yi up to the Dong Empire. They this time accused the Yan empire of carrying out the Seizen-regeneration"
"Huh?! Seizen??!" The old man stopped talking and recalled Kazuki's reaction.
"Who is he?" kazuki asked in a soft voice so as not to be suspicious.
"Seizen is the legend of the ancestors. A long time ago our ancestors had so much knowledge and skills that one day someone with evil intentions used them all for evil purposes. Damage and destruction were happening everywhere caused by that one figure. He is depicted wearing a dark black robe and hood. Carrying a long scythe with immortality. Then granny-"
"It seems like I know what's going on, so don't." Kazuki said, although this version of Seizen's story is a bit different. Mr. Longwei nodded in understanding and continued his story.
"Until where it was, ah slander the Seizen's resurrection. From then on the Dong empire that was originally friendly to the Yan Empire began to fight against each other, starting to fight over the territory. Trade monopolies, to disputes from within the empire, the criminal rate rose dramatically in those days. This empire seemed to have no chance of breathing at all. All this, plus concubine Wang," complained the Prime Minister massaging his temple.
"Consort Wang?"
"The emperor's new concubine, it's been about 2 months. Originally just a lowly concubine yet somehow she was suddenly appointed to be the emperor's favorite concubine." Kazuki nodded in understanding.
"Are you the emperor?"
"His brother.."
"Whoa?! Should I bow too?"
"No."
"Good, continue about concubine Wang," Kazuki said enthusiastically.
"Did you not want to respond to Empress Dong's story?" asked Mr. Longwei clasped his chest with an intention.
