The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 207 - The Empire's Turmoil Jiang Arc 6 - The Resurrection of the Swordsman
‘Hm, so this young man made Yueyue fall in love..’ A beautiful girl with a graceful noble look looked at the face of a thirteen-year-old male.
“Thanks for being Yueyue's friend, Miss Shi.” Jing Yang started the conversation after Xue Bingyue introduced Shi Surao to Jing Yang.
“Ah, it is precisely me who should thank.” Shi Surao awkwardly replied because after all he knew Jing Yang's identity. You could say Jing Yang was a boy in his eyes, but the boy's shoulders were stored a heavy burden that he carried.
Being the heir to the throne of the Jiang Empire as well as having broken through the Spirit Swordsman at such a young age could already be said if Jing Yang was a genius like never before.
As Shi Surao discussed about his family and felt guilty for the matter that befell the Jing Yang family, Shi Surao's remark stopped Jing Yang because after all Shi Surao was innocent.
“No need to discuss it. Miss Shi is innocent.” Jing Yang smiled and watched the Suxue Mountains from a distance.
Shi Surao awaited the arrival of Xue Bingyue and Bai Xianlin in a cave close to the Suxue Mountains. It took a long time for Shi Surao to settle in the cave because after all the beautiful girl was extremely frightened, but the persistence of Xue Bingyue and Bai Xianlin to convince him made Shi Surao begin to get used to his new life.
“Yangyang, our next destination is the Nine Dragons Palace, are we going straight there?” Xue Bingyue asked.
Jing Yang replied, “We will both continue our journey towards the Nine Dragons Palace. So Aunt Xianlin and Miss Surao, are you two going to follow us or have you decided on your own journey?”
Jing Yang replied while asking. Bai Xianlin smiled sweetly, whereas Shi Surao was at a loss to answer what because after all Shi Surao did not believe Jing Yang did not care much about his status.
“I'll be on your way. You told me about the Five Color House, didn't you? Looks like I'd like to settle down in that group of associations you've made. Surely I'll take Raorao. Would you allow it, Yang di?” Bai Xianlin smiled sweetly even though in her heart she wanted to throw a punch at Jing Yang because the boy had not given her the Storage Ring yet.
“It is precisely that I feel lucky that Aunt Xianlin joined the Five Colors House. This will help Shen Mi a lot. Of course I welcome you Miss Shi.” Jing Yang answered Bai Xianlin's wishes.
After determining the purpose of their next trip the four of them finally rushed towards the Jiang Empire.

The uproar that engulfed the Jiang Empire was the news of the defeat of the Nine Dragons Palace which led to the terrible slaughter and declaration of war of the Demon Skull Island against the entire white and neutral flow sect in the Jiang Empire even the Demon Island The skulls spread that they were going to attack the noble family that supported Emperor Jiang now.
As the Skull Demon Island further strengthened its roots in the Jiang Empire, the warriors from the white and neutral sect of the Jiang Empire gathered to form an alliance.
The meeting was held in one of the largest sects in the Jiang Empire precisely at the Meeting Hall of the Elders of the Fire Dragon Palace. Many warriors from the white and neutral streams gathered in the Fire Dragon Palace.
“Partiarch Zhen Wang enters the room!” From the outside came the sound of the Fire Dragon Palace warriors standing guard.
“Sorry for my delay. Looks like the main characters are already here.” The Fire Dragon Palace Patriarch named Zhen Wang combed his gaze watching the swordsman present within the Elder Meeting Hall become his invited guest.
In the room of the Elder Meeting Hall there are Murong Qiaomi, Chi Rong, Tao Qiaoli who are representatives of the Peach Flower Palace. The presence of female warriors from the Peach Flower Palace attracted the attention of the invited guests because of their beautiful looks.
“This meeting will be the future determinant of the martial world of the Jiang Empire. I hope everything is as I thought.” Murong Qiaomi noticed some warriors he was unfamiliar with in the Fire Dragon Palace.
“Chairman Qiaomi, have you heard of Prince Jing Yang's lunge?” Tao Qiaoli asked Murong Qiaomi about the lunge of Jing Yang in the martial world which some of these recent achievements can be said to be very extraordinary.
Murong Qiaomi himself hoped to see Jing Yang. He wanted to make Jing Yang the main pillar of the white and neutral stream and persuade him to accept Emperor Jiang's position.
“I heard it, but it was one year ago. Even now there was no news of that genius brat. I wonder where he is?” Murong Qiaomi closed his eyes and sighed lightly.
“You could say Pangerang Jing Yang is the last hope of the Patriarch of the Nine Dragons Palace, but I did not expect that something unexpected would happen.” Chi Rong let out a long sigh before adding, “Two lands that were part of the Demon Skull Island used to be beautiful places even those two lands almost rivaled the Jiang Empire, the two lands were once a beautiful place, but I didn't expect the Demon Skull Island to have any combat power beyond everyone's expectations.”
“To face the great power of the Skull Demon Island, we need a figure of a person capable of uniting everyone. I don't really wish on the military forces of the Jiang Empire nor His Imperial Majesty, but I myself hope that Prince Jing Yang can accept our persuasion to become Emperor Jiang.” Chi Rong added.
“To be on guard with things you don't want, I have given a special mission to Ziwei.” Murong Qiaomi responded to Chi Rong's words before noticing the look on Zhen Wang's face that had been staring intently at him.
In the martial world of the Jiang Empire, the figure of Zhen Wang had abilities that were more or less on par with Sheng Long in the past. But now with Sheng Long's death and the destruction of the Nine Dragons Palace, it is undeniable that Zhen Wang is the strongest figure of the white and neutral flow who is in the Spirit Swordsman stage.
Only a few people were on par with Zhen Wang, one of whom was Mao Gang. It was even likely that Mao Gang was much stronger than Zhen Wang considering that Mao Gang managed to unite the black-flow sect in the Jiang Empire.
The behind-the-scenes figure that Mao Gang feared himself was unknown to everyone present in the Elder Meeting Hall. This meeting event will be the future determinant of the Jiang Empire. Where if they were all united, then to fight the turmoil made Demon Island Skull would provide an effective resistance.
But on the contrary if the main figures of the white and neutral school were concerned with his personal and sectarian interests, then the situation in the Jiang Empire would be worse than it is now.
“Thank you for coming to meet my invitation. The reason I gathered all of you here is because I want to discuss about the sect that has recently made restless with its resurrection.” Zhen Wang watched the entire invited guests to make sure that they were all already inside the Elder Meeting Hall, “We all know about it, Skull Demon Island. In the midst of the storm that hits us, I want to convey my wishes to my brothers and sisters.”.
Zhen Wang began to talk about his desire to form an alliance for the sake of fighting the Demon Skull Island.
