The Hunted Hunter
Chapter 430. Closing Yourself From the World
The situation in the Heavenly Dragon sect had now been stirred with the deaths of the two leaders as well as the deaths of thousands of Ma Guang troops.
A deep sense of sorrow now enveloped the headquarters of the Heavenly Dragon sect.
The situation lasted for several weeks.
Ma Guang had also ordered all members of his sect who were outside the sect headquarters to return to the sect to seal themselves off from the outside world.
A few months later, even though Ma Guang had defeated Shen Tian along with the entire army of celestial beings, the situation in the Zhou imperial region still remained volatile.
This was due to political problems in the imperial capital of Zhou and also the integrity of the kingdom of Chu and also the kingdom of Qin who wanted to rule over other kingdoms.
The strength of the imperial army has now begun to decline.
This was because the Wind Fire army led by Zhou Lu Yun had now started to lose its direction.
Because they did not want to be subordinate to anyone other than Zhou Lu Yun.
So that they one by one began to resign from the troops guarding the border.
They held fast to the rules made by Zhou Lu Yun and respected him greatly.
Not only that, but they also had another reason, namely that when they were led directly by Zhou Lu Yun, their lives were very guaranteed.
Because their martial skills were far above the other soldiers, not many of them migrated to become commanders of troops in the kingdoms under the rule of the Zhou empire.
Especially being the commander of the forces in the Chu kingdom as well as the Qin kingdom.
Not only in the kingdom that was in the territory of the Zhou empire, but there were also those who went to the Qian empire, Wuyue empire, as well as other empires that were in the northern continent.
But there are also those who form small groups and become robbers.
So that the security situation in the territory of the Zhou empire or in other areas of the empire is now increasingly uncontrolled.
The state of the Zhou emperor, who was still drowning in his grief, was used by his officials to carry out actions that wanted to enrich themselves.
People began to scream because of the new policies that began to be enforced by the rulers in every city - cities in the Zhou empire.
Due to the situation, so the merchants no longer wanted to go trade to the Zhou imperial territory.
The Qin kingdom itself is now starting to rebuild the strength of their troops in order to crack down on every group - a group that always makes people restless to provide a sense of security so that the kingdom's economy becomes better.
The same thing was done by the Chu kingdom.
In contrast to the Qi kingdom, because the Yellow Bamboo sect was in the Qi kingdom territory, so the robbers did not dare to carry out their actions in the territory of the kingdom.
Although there are also those who dare to carry out robberies in almost every region bordering the Qi kingdom with other kingdoms.
The demand for protection to every sect - sect or martial arts college - from the nobles who lived in every small town and big city was increasing.
The Yellow Bamboo Sect did not escape from it.
Many senior students are assigned to eradicate each group - small groups that often act out and often disturb the people.
"Why are the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon sect swallowed by the earth?".
"Yes! What exactly happened to them? Why in a few months, no more news from them".
"The security situation in this region of the Zhou empire is already getting more and more concerning".
"It seems like we have to go to the Yellow Bamboo sect to ask for their help in order to be conveyed to the head of the Heavenly Dragon sect to be able to help us in dealing with the problems that are happening in this region of our kingdom". Said a man who looked fifty years old.
He was a minister of the Wei kingdom.
In carrying out his duties, the minister is escorted by ten elected soldiers and his two personal guards.
Although at that time they were dressed like society in general, but their attitudes and behavior were still very clear that they were not nobles or ordinary people.
A senior disciple from the Yellow Bamboo sect who accidentally heard their conversation immediately stopped his steps and turned to face the direction where the minister and two others were sitting.
"Who are y'all? Why are you talking about the Yellow Bamboo sect?". Ask the young man.
"I'm sorry if our conversation has offended a young swordsman". Said the minister, cupping his hand.
"It is true that we are talking about what we will tell the leader of the Yellow Bamboo sect".
"But of course we can't tell young warriors here".
"Can we know who this young warrior really is?". Ask the minister to close the word - he said.
"Introduce who you are first, only then do I introduce My identity". Reply to the young warrior.
The minister immediately issued a royal plate which was his identification.
"Oh, it turns out you're the defense minister of the Wei kingdom".
After knowing the identity of the person in front of him, finally the disciple from the Yellow Bamboo sect also introduced his name and origin.
"I didn't think we were a match with the Yellow Bamboo sect".
"How, will the young swordsman be able to drive us to the headquarters of the Yellow Bamboo sect?".
Because there is a very important thing that we have to convey to the sect head, and it cannot be represented". Ask the minister.
"Master! It's not that I don't want to take you guys to the head of our sect, but for the time being, our sect head is nowhere to be met".
"It relates to the Heavenly Dragon sect that has currently closed itself off from the martial world".
"What's!? So the Heavenly Dragon sect has really closed itself to the martial world?".
Said the minister was surprised when he heard what was conveyed by the Yellow Bamboo sect disciples.
"Are they no longer willing to ease the burden of suffering that the people bear today?".
"Sorry Mr. Minister...! Regarding that, I can't tell you".
"Backer Min! Can we ask for help from the Yellow Bamboo sect to help us in overcoming this security problem in Wei kingdom?". Ask the minister.
"To my knowledge, the disciples in our sect are no longer enough to help, because the disciples in our sect have been almost entirely scattered throughout the Qi kingdom to deal with the same problem as well".
"Therefore, it is certain that our sect will not accept any more offers from other kingdoms".
"So it's like that.All right, thanks for the information". The Minister responded.
"Then I say retreat". Close the Yellow Bamboo sect disciple who instantly turned his body and walked away leaving the three men.
"It seems like our last hope is just to go beg for help from other sects and martial arts colleges". The Minister's Mumbles.
"But the current situation was indeed very draining every swordsman from the existing sects and martial arts colleges".
"They had been hired by the nobles as well as the merchants to keep their security".
"Yes, what you say has a point too". The minister responded to the words of his subordinates.
