The old man explained that the White Sand Kingdom did indeed do this in the Chang'an City region.
Ryu who saw that the old man was telling the truth without a little lie, he forgave the old man even though the old man initially slipped something that made him angry.
The few Servants who had heard from the beginning that Ryu was from the Phoenix Mountain Sect, one of them directly reported that to the Inn Manager who was at that place.
The Manager who just got word from the waiter, he asks the Servant so that Ryu can meet him and wants to talk directly with Ryu who is disguised as a Phoenix Mountain Sect Member under the name Song Juan.
" Servant... Bring the young man here, because I want to talk to him directly." Said the figure of the woman who served as Manager in the Moon Jade Inn of Chang'an city.
" Good Miss." The waiter lowered his head and left the room.
" Wife... Are you sure about that figure?" Ask the figure of the man in the room to the Manager.
" Gege's... I hope that young man can help us to resolve this matter. I'm afraid that big Mistress Jiang Caiping misunderstood because we haven't deposited the proceeds from the Moon Jade Inn here in two months. After all the Matriak of the Phoenix Mountain Sect was the Wife of Emperor Ryu, which meant that she was part of the great Madam Jiang Caiping." Said the manager.
" all right... I trust you. After all I'm just a personal bodyguard. I hope the Big Madam doesn't scold us." The man smiled as he embraced his wife.
" Gege's... Don't be like this. Embarrassed to be seen by the Servant, let alone to be seen by that member of the Phoenix Mountain Sect." The Manager felt bad because it was not the right time for him and his Husband to make out.
" I'll go first. I don't want to disturb. Moreover, this matter is not from my part of the task." The man let go of his embrace and left the room.
On the ground floor of the Moon Ryu Jade Inn that was introgating some figures in that place, now suddenly visited by a Servant.
" Lord Swordsman... Our manager wants to talk to you directly." The waiter whispered to Ryu.
" Servant... Did I make a mistake?" Ryu frowned while turning his head towards the female Servant.
" Not at all Mr. Swordsman. Precisely the Manager of this inn is very happy with the presence of Mr. Pendekar here." The waiter raised the volume of his voice so that the person in the place did not misunderstand the condition.
" Let's Master Swordsman, I'll take you!" The waiter takes Ryu to the top floor where the Manager is waiting for him.
Ryu also follows the Servant where he thinks it must be related to the problem of the Axe Sin Organization.
The old man and some of the people in the tavern breathed a sigh of relief when Ryu left them, because they were afraid that the figure of the young man who named himself Song Juan would go further to them.
" Please enter Mr. Swordsman. The manager's waiting inside." The waiter opens the room door and invites Ryu to enter.
" Please enter Mr. Swordsman." The figure of the woman who was already inside the room welcomed Ryu's friendly arrival.
" Mm." Mmm." Ryu nodded then walked towards a chair available at that place.
" I introduced my name to Liem Ao Ai Manager at Jade Inn this Month. Just call me Manager Ai." Liem Ao Ai introduced himself.
" I'll introduce my name Song Juan." Ryu answered briefly.
" Sit down, Master Swordsman!" Liem Ao Ai invited Ryu to sit down.
" Thank you, Manager Ai." Ryu who was already near a chair immediately sat down at that spot.
" I heard from the Servant that Master Swordsman is a member of the Phoenix Mountain Sect. It just so happens that we desperately need help from Mr. Swordsman." Liem Ao Ai immediately expressed his purpose.
" What kind of help does Manager Ai want?" Ryu asked.
" Lord Swordsman... I heard you are the direct envoy of Emperor Ryu. I personally want to convey our current situation, because I no longer know who to ask for help."
" In fact, the White Sand Kingdom has hired the Axe of Sin Organization to kill anyone who wants to go to Hasperia City or vice versa, because more than ten years ago Emperor Ryu had subtly refused his intention to make Emperor Ryu as the daughter-in-law of the White Sand Kingdom. That's why all the access to Chang'an city is heavily guarded by the Axe of Sin Organization."
" I got this news from the spy I was spreading. Now only access to the Han Empire and White Sand Kingdom is still safe, while the others are completely closed." Liem Ao Ai explained the current situation.
" So it's like that. Is access to report this incident to the Imperial side all cut off?" Ryu again asked Liem Ao Ai.
" Right Mr. Swordsman... We have done things in various ways with Mayor Chang'an, but everyone we sent a lot of people died before reaching the Imperial Palace of Clouds. That's why we can't do anything about the existence of members of the Axe of Sin Organization, even though we've sent the best bodyguards in the Jade Inn this month" Liem Ao Ai said.
Hearing the remarks from Liem Ao Ai, Ryu felt very furious at the actions of the White Sand Kingdom who even hired the Axe Sin Organization as an outlet of his anger towards Ryu.
" Let me take care of them." Ryu intends to teach a lesson to the White Sand Kingdom.
" Lord Swordsman... Although I know that the Swordsman Master is a strong person because he can pass through this region safely, but the Axe of Sin Organization has reached many Sky Warriors. Moreover, having to deal with them at once, would certainly be very difficult." Liem Ao Ai shook her head.
" Lord Swordsman... You better ask for help from the Chang'an City Warrior. They were all already gathered near the City Gate, as they were worried that the Sin Axe Organization would attack Chang'an City." Liem Ao Ai reminded Ryu.
" all right... I'll meet them." Ryu.
" It's night. Better Mr. Pendekar stay at this place. Let me ask the Moon Jade Inn Guards to meet the Mayor in person. For the matter of cost, Mr. Swordsman does not need to pay. After all Her Majesty Queen Hong Kian is part of Her Majesty Queen Jiang Caiping's family." Liem Ao Ai.
" Alright, then I'll take my leave." Ryu lowered his head and left the room to go to the cashier's table to retrieve the room key.
The waiter leads Ryu to the room that has been provided where a very large room is seen.
On that very night Liem Ao Ai asked one of the Moon Jade Inn Guards to meet Mayor Chang'an to inform him of the arrival of one of the Phoenix Mountain Sect members who had made it into the region Chang'an City.
Hearing the testimony of the Guards, Chang'an Mayor Tan Tihuna looked delighted and asked some of the Soldiers to report the matter to the General so that they could meet the person at the Moon Jade Inn tomorrow morning.
Tan Tihuna firmly believed that the person who came from the Phoenix Mountain Sect was not an ordinary person, let alone that figure was Emperor Ryu's confidant. That means the person cannot be underestimated.
*****
(In the White Sand Kingdom )
The day before Ryu was in Chang'an city, the figure of the Man sitting in his Great Chair was talking to several figures who had the axe tattoo on their right neck.
" His Majesty the King.... Our job is done. We'll be home tomorrow morning." Said the thick mustachioed man who was one of the members of the Sin Axe Organization.
" Hmmm... I've paid a lot to your Leader, but you've only done less than three months' work. Isn't it in our agreement that you must kill and rob anyone who goes through those two main roads." Said the King of the White Sand Kingdom named Kim Yushe.
" That's right, Your Majesty. But we're here to kill only a group of cockroaches that would lower our reputation as members of the Axe of Sin." Said the mustachioed man who did not want to do a very easy job for them.
" Hmmm.... So you guys want to get a harder task?" Ask Kim Yushe.
" Right Your Majesty the King. We are the Axe of Sin Organization has its own principles as the most feared group of assassins in this Eastern Continent. We don't want to get a garbage assignment like this." The mustachioed men did not want their reputation to be looked upon badly and stamped as a group that could only bully people they considered weak.
Hearing these words Kim Yushe immediately turned his brain to deal with the problem, where he did not want to lose big because he had spent a lot of money to rent the Axe Sin Organization.
The Sin Axe Organization was an extremely powerful and the largest group, where their strength exceeded the strength of the Taiyang Empire.
All the members of the largest White Stream Sect in the Eastern Continent also did not want to deal with the Sin Axe organization where they would be easier to destroy the Imperial Army.
Only a few people could have access to meet them, as the organization of the Axe of Sin was very hidden.
Not only that, the Axe Sin Organization never failed in carrying out their duties even as difficult as anything.
Even so, the Axe of Sin Organization did not want to act if it did not get paid properly.
" all right... Then I ask you to destroy Chang'an City. After that you can go." Kim Yushe had no other way to hold them back from incurring so many losses.
" His Majesty the King. That's beyond our agreement. If His Majesty the King wishes to do so, then you must compensate at least 20% of the original agreement." The mustachioed man did not want them to be as if toyed with by a person who they thought was a weak Kingdom.
" Bad. Do you want to drain my treasure?" Kim Yushe felt himself as a King had been toyed with by the Axe Sin Organization group.
" You dare yell at me? I'll make sure the White Sand Kingdom is level with the ground." The mustachioed man stared towards Kim Yushe threateningly.
" It is Your Majesty. We just follow what they say. It's all done, so we have to accept the consequences." One of the figures whispered to Kim Yushe because he did not want anything bad to happen to the White Sand Kingdom.
Hearing what the advisor said, Kim Yushe momentarily thought what the mustache man said was not just a joke.
With a heavy heart Kim Yushe agreed to this so that the White Sand Royal Palace could still be safe.
" all right... I'll approve the compensation. But I'll give it to you after you finish your job." Kim Yushe smiled wryly as it was so difficult to deal with the Axe Sin Organization.
Even he himself as a King, seemed helpless with the situation.
" Then we withdraw. Remember that! After our return, His Majesty the King must prepare that compensation. It's good to be in business with you." The man moustached a thin smile as he left the place to complete their task.
" Babh... I did not expect that the Axe of Sin Organization had already drained the treasures left behind by the ancestors." Kim Yushe let out a long breath.
