The Legend of the Eternal Warrior
The Fire Shield Sect Patriarch's

Not long after that Xue Meilin arrived at Elder Zu Sanfeng's residence, as usual she directed Princess Qin Qian who had her own residence near Elder Zu's residence. This privilege was obtained because Qin Qian was the daughter of an Emperor, so it was only natural that she had a special place to stay and rest.

The arrival of Princess Qin Qian to the Fire Shield Sect had already spread out with a flash, even the Patriarch and the Elders who were now gathering in the Main Room of the meeting became excited. They had previously been discussing the direction of the Sect's support, after Emperor Qin's ouster from power made Patriarch Zu Haikuan want to join General Shio Mei who is now the Imperial Queen.

The Patriarch was clearly aware of Shio Mei's ability and the support behind her, for that he would not risk having to come into contact with Shio Mei.

On the other hand, Elder Zu Sanfeng who was the in-law of Emperor Qin Lau was actually willing to withdraw support for the Palace. As the aggrieved party he clearly rejected the attitude of rebellion carried out by Shio Mei and her allies.

Unfortunately, Zu Sanfeng's tough attitude did not gain the support of the other Elders. Out of the eight Elders only two people sided with him, coupled with him clearly could not be balanced in making a decision. Five Elders were on Zu Haikuan's side, they agreed to join Queen Shio Mei.

If this were to happen then of course the fate of Princess Qin Qian who had just arrived at the Fire Shield Sect would be dangerous. It was common knowledge that Princess Qin Qian and her personal servant were fugitives from the Imperial Palace, and even the Imperial Academy also hunted the two men. Knowing that Princess Qin Qian had just arrived, made Elder Zu Sanfeng very worried about his grandson's safety.

Seeing the gurgle of uneasiness on his brother's face, Patriarch Zu Haikuan immediately said.

"I know what you're worried about, I'm not a mean person either. But if you want to save your grandson who just arrived then there's only one way"

Previously Sect Patriarch Zu Haikuan had already repeatedly said if his son, Zu Feng was very interested in Princess Qin Qian. Therefore with the existence of this kind of situation then Zu Sanfeng would not dare to refuse again.

"I will not mortgage my grandson's happiness for political gain. Even I will not hesitate to bet my life on the happiness of Qian'er" Elder Zu Sanfeng replied as he left the Meeting Hall.

After Elder Zu Sanfeng left, Patriarch Zu Haikuan immediately lowered the order.

"Don't let the Former Emperor's daughter leave the Sect"

After saying so, immediately the people of the Fire Shield Sect tightened the guard at the entrance gate, even an Elder was parachuted to guard the latest policy of the Sect Chief.

In a hurry Elder Zu Sanfeng immediately met his favorite grandson, after the news of his daughter's death he did not want to lose his flesh blood again.

"Qian'er, how are you?" asked Zu Sanfeng who had just arrived at Princess Qin Qian's special residence.

"Grandfather.." exclaimed Qin Qian while scattering away, he could not help but cry while in his grandfather's arms.

"Hey.. Wait, how did you become this strong?" asked Zu Sanfeng who was astonished, amid his worry for the safety of his grandson he could also feel the awkwardness on his grandson's body.

Wiping away his tears, Qin Qian immediately untied his body back and walked towards Lei Tian.

Zu Sanfeng noticed the figure of a beautiful young man who only had the cultivation realm of a Beginner Swordsman, he felt a little strange with the statement that his beloved grandson had just delivered. Other than the Sword hanging on his back, there was nothing else he could value more deeply.

"You... How come?" zu Sanfeng asked Lei Tian, he also noticed the surroundings that Xue Meilin was still in.

"Include my name is Lei Tian, I am from the Lei Clan in Chengdu City" Lei Tian replied formally.

Zu Sanfeng squinted his two eyeballs, based on the name that the young man had submitted should have been a high-level cultivator who was rumored to have died.

"Am I not hearing wrong or maybe you're a different person?" Elder Zu Sanfeng said carefully, as a person who puts forth manners he does not want to be rash in judging people.

"Grandfather, he is the hero of the Empire who has been rumored to have died. Just like me, Tian Gege was also the victim of General Shio Mei's cunning" Qin Qian said to reassure his doubtful grandfather.

Zu Sanfeng's gaze became complicated upon hearing his grandson's call to a man he had just seen. But thinking about his grandson's sudden strength, Zu Sanfeng's insight opened up.

"So increase your strength because it's really related to this man?" asked Zu Sanfeng to make sure, because he knew that his favorite grandson had a special body that only a certain man could touch.

Qin Qian simply nodded slowly, yet the movement of his hand immediately touched Lei Tian's palm. This confirms the close relationship between the two.

"Here you go, grandpa would love to hear it if you've found your heart. Especially if it is true that he is a young man who became a hero of the Qin Empire, there is no reason for grandfather to reject your relationship. I am also sure that your father will not mind" Elder Zu Sanfeng said straightforwardly.

"What's? Is dad alive?" qin Qian asked with a face full of happiness.

"Yes, it's just that he was held captive in the dungeon, no one dared to save him. With Shio Mei's cultivation progress already above Patriarch Qin Lang's ability, then Shio Mei's move was getting smoother" Zu Sanfeng said sadly.

As a father-in-law he also thought about the fate of his son-in-law who is now being held captive, he could not do anything to face the power of Shio Mei which is now supported by many parties. While against Qin Qian's fate he was a little calmer, with his current strength of course he could guard himself, even his grandson's strength had already greatly shocked the world of cultivators.

Zu Sanfeng then tells the chronological story of Shio Mei's rebellion and also her appointment who became the Queen of the Yang Empire. The name of the Qin Empire has now been changed to the name of the Yang Empire. The name Yang was taken from the ancestral clan of Yang Mi as well as the main supporter of the Empire's power, the nature of the empire was also the same as the Purple Lotus Sect which made women titled Matriarch as the leader.

Even Zu Sanfeng also told about the current condition of the Fire Shield Sect who wanted to support the new Empire, Zu Haikuan who was still brother to himself had already made the decision to cooperate with Shio Mei.

Almost the entire night they told each other stories before finally resting at the Qin Qian residence, only this time Lei Tian did not sleep in the room with Qin Qian. He respected Elder Zu Sanfeng's position as the grandfather of the woman who would become his wife.
