(Two days after the destruction of the White Sand Kingdom)
It was seen that the members of the troops from Chang'an City were inspecting the area around the White Sand Kingdom.
" Report Mr. Mayor. All around this palace is no longer inhabited." One of the Soldiers reported the incident after conducting a search.
" Hmmm... This is really weird. How could this White Sand Kingdom be uninhabited." Tan Tihuna frowned as if she could not believe what had happened to the Royal Palace.
" Mister Mayor, I think this must have something to do with Mr. Swordsman Song Juan." General Mao momentarily thought about what Ryu had said.
" General Mao, are you sure? How could that young man destroy the White Sand Royal Palace by himself." Tan Tihuna felt unsure of what General Mao had said.
" This is hard to believe, but no one else knows about this attack other than Song Juan himself. After all we have seen how that Young man could defeat the Axe Sin organization group by himself easily." General Mao firmly believed that Song Juan was the one who destroyed the White Sand Royal Palace.
" Hmmm... Pretty reasonable. Then we report this incident to the Imperial Cloud Palace. Let them take care of everything." said Tan Tihuna.
" Good Lord Mayor." General Mao lowered his head and gave orders to all the Soldiers to leave the place.
After searching the entire Palace, Tan Tihuna, General Mao and the Soldiers immediately came out of the Palace back to Chang'an City.
Tan Tihuna also planned to give some Soldiers the task of going to the Cloud Imperial Palace in order for the White Sand kingdom's absolute territory to become the territory of the Cloud Empire where the Palace had to be replenished to continue polity.

(Eastern Cloud Kingdom)
" Report His Majesty the King. It seems that Emperor Ryu has already passed through the territory of the Eastern Cloud Kingdom." The General-clothed figure encompassed his hands in a kneeling position.
" Hmmm... Why didn't the young man want to visit this Palace." The luxurious dressed figure who was sitting on his Greatness seat was none other than the Eastern Cloud King.
" It's possible that Emperor Ryu is traveling in a hurry. I he will leave this Eastern Continent." said the General.
" Then accompany the trip! General Luo, I command you to bring the best Warrior in our Kingdom to accompany Emperor Ryu's journey. That way, we will stand together when Emperor Ryu reaches the Tiantang Continent." The Eastern Cloud King felt it was a good opportunity to cooperate with the Cloud Empire.
" In accordance with the decree of His Majesty the King." General Luo saluted then left the place towards the residence of the Soldiers.
" Thank you ancestor... Because of your advice, the Eastern Cloud Kingdom is growing rapidly. I hope that with the help of Emperor Ryu, we will return to the Tiantang Continent where we live." The Eastern Cloud King muttered as he played his finger on the arm of his greatness chair.

(Taiyang Imperial Region )
In a mountain there is a very magnificent building where there are several figures from the Axe of Sin organization who are sitting in discussion.
" Report the Leader. The members we sent to the White Sand Kingdom seem to have all been killed" said the figure of a burly man.
" Hmmm... Just this time the Axe of Sin organization failed in carrying out the task. Then what about the White Sand Kingdom?" Ask the Head of the Axe of Sin organization.
" When I slipped there, it turned out that the White Sand royal Palace was already uninhabited. Looks like they're under attack too." Said the burly man.
" It seems like the Cloud Empire cannot be underestimated. I'm sure that behind the killing of the members of the Sin Axe Organization and the destruction of the White Sand Kingdom must have something to do with the Cloud Imperial Palace." The leader of the Axe of Sin snapped his finger at the arm of the chair.
" Is it as strong as the Cloud Empire?" Ask the burly man.
" Who else if not them? Command all members of the Axe of Sin organization not to deal with the Cloud Empire. If this keeps up, we can lose." The leader of the Axe of Sin organization considered that the Cloud Empire to be a frightening specter.
Plus the mission of the Axe of Sin Organization is not a matter of politics, revenge, or anything else. Because for Axe Sin organizations is a business that can benefit them by carrying out the mission of people who can afford them with very high value.

In a forest not far from Kurok City, Ryu and his wife were sitting together while enjoying a meal from the game.
" Babh... I've longed for something like this." Xin Chie smiled in satisfaction as she devoured the forest chicken meat in her hand.
" I miss this kind of thing too." Huli Yue enjoyed the roasted chicken meat in her hands.
" We've been traveling for over a month. Gege... Aren't we looking for a place to rest?" Ask Sheng Zhishu.
" We still don't know how the Taiyang Empire is. So we have to be careful. Especially with your existence, it will attract the attention of many people." Ryu looked at his wife in turn.
" Gege's... You don't worry. If anyone dares to mess around, we'll just kill him!" Shu Meilu.
" You're not only aggressive and wild, but now you're bloodthirsty." Ryu shook his head.
" What matters is we don't kill origin." Ting Ye dodged.
" How is Ling Xianzi?" Nan Sian asked who was still curious about Ling Xianzi who had always escaped from them.
" I'm sure he doesn't dare to set foot in the region of the Cloud Empire. Especially with the killing of their five teachers." Ryu considers that with the death of the five Teachers is a crushing blow to the Night Ghost School.
" What about Jinying?" Ask Ling Queqi.
" Let him follow his own path. We don't know what's gonna happen next." Ryu let out a long breath.
" Gege's... Do you still love him?" Jiang Caiping investigated a little.
" Both Jinying and Ling Xianzi... They're still my wives, even though I didn't expect them too much. It's just that I don't think about why they're doing it." Ryu frowned while staring at his wife.
" Babh... Never mind, don't think too much about them. After all if they intended to attack the Imperial Palace of Clouds, there would still be Heilong, Li Chun, Mayi Mifeng and the So Troop there was nothing to worry about. You better return to Quzhu World while waiting for Xuan'er to finish his closed-door training." Ryu continued his words.
" Mmm." they nodded in agreement then returned to Quzhu World.
When all his wives had returned to Quzhu World, Ryu stepped out of the Forest towards Kurok City in search of the Ship that was heading to the Northern Continent.
After walking for less than an hour, Ryu had been in front of the Kurok City Gate where there were several people waiting in line.
Ryu also had to wait for the queue to take a long time, now Ryu got his turn to check.
" Hey you, show me your identification!" One of the Gate Guards gazed towards Ryu.
" Sorry Keeper... I'm just a wanderer." Ryu lowered his head while giving the Guard 5000 Spirit Stones.
" Please come in!" the guard asked Ryu to enter the City while inserting the Spirit Stone into his Space Ring.
" Thank you, guard." Ryu went straight into Kurok City.
While inside the City, Ryu walks while enjoying the view of the City where it looks very crowded.
" I'll have to find the inn first to look for various information." Ryu hurried to find an Inn towards the crowd of the city.
Until a while Ryu had found what he was looking for directly into the Inn and then sat on a chair.
