The Immortality Flower
Accidentally Causes Problems

Some regional heads reported to the palace during the morning court. They reported the same thing that the girls in the village disappeared simultaneously overnight.

"Is this a form of terror Your Majesty? "

"It seems true, this terror may have been intentional by some to make His Majesty feel distressed by the internal state of the territory"

The Emperor was silent to reports of the disappearance of the village girls. His mind confirmed one of the officials who said that this was terror.

"Reporting! "

"Say, " said the Emperor.

"There were various witnesses who saw abandoned buildings on deserted roads filled with blood and found one body that was still intact" said the soldier.

"What say! "

The people inside the court came out, including the Emperor himself, to see how the dead bodies the witnesses were carrying. Bodies covered by a cloth splashed in the courtyard. Five witnesses near the body reported the chronology of how he found the body and the site of a bloody abandoned building.

"Your Majesty, by the time we passed the building. We accidentally saw the blood flowing out, we checked it found blood pooled and the body was face down"

The soldier opened the cloth until the face was pale and the mark of a giggle on his neck that was clearly visible.

"Even just a giggle can kill him. This person looks like a cultivator His Majesty. It seems true that there was someone who tried to complain"

Soldiers checked Chong Gu's body for anything until a plaque was found on his body. The soldier showed the plaque he found to the Emperor. Everyone was shocked to see the blood-soaked plaque held by the Emperor.

"Jianling Alliance. It seems true to all of you, "said the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the servant seems to recognize who he is" said the head of the noble sect.

"Who? " ask the Emperor.

"Chong Gu Chief, Jianling alliance. One of the four elders, "said the head of the noble sect.

"What! "

"The Jianling Alliance has been here, it seems like he fought with someone to the death, "Inner Emperor.

"You take care of the body, "the Emperor's orders.

"Understand, " replied the soldier.

Witnesses who were present resumed their activities after reporting the events they found. Everyone went back inside the hall discussing the thing that had just happened.

"War seems like it will happen even if not openly, I hope you are willing to defend the country. The meeting was dissolved today, "the Emperor said.

"Understand Your Majesty"

Everyone came out from inside the hall leading to his residence each preparing the things that needed to be prepared including the Lou family. Jin Yu Mei who was meditating in the last few years at his residence never came out to show herself. Jin Yu Mei told Minister Lou that she would meditate on asking the Gods to give her an answer to her request.

Minister Lou agreed to Jin Yu Mei's request. Jin Yu Mei's hermitage is unknown to anyone but Minister Lou himself. With the exit of the imperial dragon jade stamp then inevitably Minister Lou issued a pearl of light in the heirloom of the Lou family.

The empress stabilized her power after obtaining the flames of vengeance. His strength even equaled that of King Jin or surpassed him.

"Your Majesty, let the servant report, " said Ping Yin.

The empress completed her meditation having Ping Yin say her report.

"Overnight events led His Majesty the Emperor and others to think that the nine powers had moved as well as the Jianling alliance elder who was killed last night made them think that he was killed by the others" Ping Yin said.

"If a noble sect tightens its formation I can break through, but if the Emperor has coated the great formation with his aura then I'm not sure I can find a gap. The troops that father sent must come before that happens, "the inner Empress.

" Border, "answered Ping Yin.

The two men flew away with an occasional stand on the branches of a large tree in the forest. They, Xia Cheng and Chen Lie drove as fast as they could towards the outer border of Wu territory. Arriving at the border of the Wu territory, an invisible formation prevented them from exiting.

" Damn it, the Emperor has acted so far. Blocking any access in and out for cultivators! "maki Chen Lie's.

Xia Cheng seemed to think and found a way to get out of the formation.

" If it is forcibly destroyed, they will know, but I have to do one more time to remove the seal inside my body, " Xia Cheng said.

" If you want to die as soon as possible I can help you, but if you die in front of me it's better to take me with you" Chen Lie said angrily.

Xia Cheng analyzed the formation that was before them. The intricate qi flow and connecting with each other made him know the origin of the formation.

" The Noble Sect with its disciples set up this formation, " Xia Cheng said.

" Cih.. To hell with the Noble Sect which was only a small sect, "said Chen Lie.

" You should not underestimate them, this barrier formation at least uses an ancient technique, " Xia Cheng said.

" Are you sure of what you said? "ask Chen Lie.

" I'm sure, "reply Xia Cheng.

Xia Cheng's palm stuck to the barrier formation wall. The seal that was inside Xia Cheng's body released its power clashing directly against the barrier formation. The power from the spreading seal eroded each barrier formation until then a crack was created which made Xia Cheng able to easily exit.

"Successful!" xia Cheng said.

"You are indeed reliable, "reply Chen Lie.

"The seal that Great Master planted is indeed reliable. I believe this seal is an ancient seal and maybe when met with other ancient techniques will both clash and show who the winner is" Xia Cheng said.

They continued their journey through the forest to plunge down the cliff. The shallow river flow that was between the cliffs made the sound of rushing water sound loud.

"Where they are, they should be around here" said Chen Lie.

The turn of the river current road until finally found other troops sent by the Wen family.

"Finally found you, " said Chen Lie.

The entire people who were resting at the meal were startled by the presence of Chen Lie and Xia Cheng.

"Sir, how did you come here? Shouldn't you be in the capital? " ask their group leader.

"I'm here because things have changed completely since that big event, did the Great Lord give me certain information? " ask Xia Cheng.

"The Great Lord informed them that the nine powers had moved towards Wu territory immediately and within three days they had arrived. At the time of the big incident we felt it almost dead made. The river currents suddenly overflowed and the cliff walls partially collapsed, "they reported.

"Rest, I'll show you what the situation above is like, " Xia Cheng replied.

A while later, Xia Cheng showed them the state on the cliff with the help of Chen Lie who was using his wind element. A semicircular giant formation enveloped the entirety of Wu territory with its strongest being its capital.

"Look, how serious it is to deal with this problem, " Xia Cheng said.

The soldiers were surprised to see the scene before them. A multilayered formation that would not be easily broken through by ordinary people.

"Only the territory of King Jin's palace has its weak point. I'm afraid that if I bring you into the formation where I used to be, you'll all get hurt. But the territory of King Jin is not as calm as you imagine, his nickname is the King of different clans from the ruling royal family, " Xia Cheng said.

"We will follow you, " said the group leader.
