While Shen Long was training on Master Wang, at the Eternal Mountain sect head Huo Lo and Demon Jing Lu were talking to the spirit of Yan Luo whom they had sealed inside the sect residence.
“Teacher, tell us where you hid Mustika Bintang” asked Huo Lo directly to ask the point.
“Cih, That thing is mine, what right do you have to charge it?” yan Luo Sahut
“We are your students, of course we are entitled to inherit all knowledge and yours” said Devil Jing Lu chimed in.
“Since you betrayed me, you guys have not been my students anymore” Yan Luo said
“You are really stubborn Master. We don't want to hurt you. But if you like this continue, we are forced to do it” Huo Lo said as he recited the spell.
Aarrghhh!
Yan Luo screamed as sect head Huo Lo cast a spell, the spirit seal she created to seal Yan Luo's spirit drained the energy that was squeezing her spirit and inflicting Yan Luo in pain.
“He's so stubborn. We can't do it here. We should take him to the underworld to question him with the others” Demon Jing Lu said.
“If brought to the underworld, instead of Long Gu the stupid dragon will monopolize it” said chairman Huo Lo disagreed.
“But the two of us won't be able to handle it, not to mention our plans have to be executed immediately. We can't wait too long. The resurrection of the underworld depends on our plans” said Devil Jing Lu
Sect chief Huo Lo gritted his teeth, yet what Devil Jing Lu said was true. The plan for the resurrection of the underworld must take precedence. So he agreed to send Yan Luo's spirit to the underworld to be guarded there.
Then Demon Jing Lu departed to the underworld with Yan Luo's sealed spirit, while sect head Huo Lo immediately executed their plan.

At Liu's royal palace, Empress Qin, who was informed by Princess Shui, learned that Shen Long had successfully broken through the cultivation of the Heavenly Realm at the Gates of Hell and was now training with her Master.
“You are truly gifted beyond measure Shen” muttered empress Qin smilingly thinking of Shen Long who then made her face turn red.
“Your Majesty, the Royal Priestess is meeting and discussing something with His Majesty King” suddenly a scout of Empress Qin who is investigating the Royal Priestess reports to her.
Empress Qin's face frowned upon hearing the report, she was very upset at the Royal Priestess for giving her the Ice Flame poison as a fake immortal pill.
“Stay watch the movements of the Royal Priest. Report every move!” empress Qin's orders.
“Good His Majesty” sahut his personal scout.
“What exactly is the plan of this Eternal Mountain sect” murmured empress Qin in her heart.
Based on the information from Princess Shui, the palace had to be careful with the Eternal Mountain, but King Liu had long since appointed the Imperial Priestess who came from the Eternal Mountain Sect. So his input was sometimes not listened to by King Liu.
A week later a personal bodyguard of Empress Qin ran over.
“Yang Mulia's... His Majesty the King was getting angry, he slammed the items in his room” said the consort Qin nervously.
“What happened?” ask the Empress Qin
“Before came an emissary from the northeast region said that the Ming kingdom attacked and entered into our territory” said the bodyguard.
“Now His Majesty called all ministers and commanders of the troops to hold a meeting in the royal hall” he continued.
“Is the prophecy told by Princess Shui imminent?” empress Qin was stunned to hear the sudden news.
“Report to me what happens next” empress Qin orders the bodyguard.
In the Hall of the meeting King Liu with his ministers and army commanders agreed to send troops to the conflict area to see the situation but prepare for war if it cannot be avoided. The kingdom sent General Liu as its commander in chief to lead Liu's royal army.
In the room of Empress Qin was not calm with the rash actions of King Liu who sent General Liu to the battlefield. His feelings were anxious that this was a trap to lure the tiger out of its cage.
The empress then called her personal bodyguard to escort her to the hidden residence of Princess Shui. He then sent his bodyguards back to the kingdom to investigate the situation in the palace and the battlefield
The next day Princess Shui who heard of the situation in Liu kingdom immediately came to her residence by the lake and met with Empress Qin.
“Answer, what has happened? Why is there an army deployment from Liu kingdom?” ask Princess Shui
The empress then told about the events in the palace so she took refuge to hide in Princess Shui's house.
“King Liu was too rash” Princess Shui was furious because of King Liu's decision.
“The Queen has been properly hiding here for a while. It's a shame I'm not allowed to help with human-to-human problems in this world”.
“How is Shen Long Princess?” ask the Empress Qin
“She has managed to master the God Formation Science. Now he is training to learn the Science of Spirit Seal. Soon she will be able to finish it” said Princess Shui
“May Shen Long be able to come before the circumstances in Liu kingdom get worse” said empress Qin.
“True, I think this incident must have been interference from the sect of Eternal Mountain” said Princess Shui
The next day a personal bodyguard of Empress Qin came back with a sad face.
“The Empress, the Palace has fallen into the hands of the rebels. Minister Liu Fan had killed His Majesty the King. They killed ministers and bodyguards loyal to His Majesty the King. And now they are looking for His Majesty Empress” said his personal bodyguard.
The deg!
As if struck by lightning, the news of King Liu's death made the body of Empress Qin feel weak, then she sat languidly on the floor
“Anspect!”
“Your Majesty!”
Princess Shui and empress Qin's personal bodyguard immediately approached and helped her stand up. They were saddened to see the state of Empress Qin.
“Your Highness, we must take this revenge” said his personal bodyguard.
“Do not be rash. We wait for the right moment” said the empress who was sad to lose King Liu but could still think calmly.
“You go monitor the situation in the kingdom first. Report every incident” empress orders to her personal bodyguard.
“Good Your Highness” said his bodyguard then went to the capital.
“Enjoy, I am sorry to hear this news. I hope the empress is willing to stay in my place first while waiting for the opportunity to get revenge.” Princess Shui said next
“Thank you Princess, I will wait for Shen Long here. Only he can help me to get this revenge.”.
“Alright, I'll see the situation first. The Empress rest” said the Princess who then left her.
“Shen Long, please help me” muttered empress Qin Iirih sobbing in tears after everyone left her.
