The Northern Sword God
Imperial Empress Ju Ying
That hooded figure when he removed his headgear, one would recognize him as the Vice Sect Leader of the White Lotus Temple Mao Xuezhe. Mao Xuezhe's face looked cold as he gave a threatening tone to investigate who the Alchemist figure was behind the opening of the energy knot in the dantian of the third prince.
The seventh prince Ju Kai looked at Mao Xuezhe and once again said,
“I hope you and some followers from White Lotus Temple you can solve this problem. Strive for negotiations first with the alchemist. Ask him to join me. In any case if it is discovered that we have eliminated an alchemist, I fear that this will cause turmoil among the “Alchemist Association of Middle””
“Well you know right???… The strange people and magic jingling who belong to the alchemist group are vengeful creatures. If they go on strike and no longer supply energy-boosting pills or medicinal pills, it is feared that the army will revolt. No one would dare to go to the battlefield without bringing along the medicinal equipment and strengthening pills from the alchemist” Back Ju Kai said before looking pondering.
Then in a tone that sounded soft but firm he said….
“Will but if the alchemist of the seventh Prince's trust is defiant and unwilling to cooperate with us.. finish him off.!” ju Kai's eyes looked horrible. In his heart not the slightest bit would he give space or gap to the seventh prince to become the Crown Prince later on.

The night felt quite cold, where the mountain wind blew so strong that the effect was felt up to Kotaraja Rajawali Agung. There were four body figures that floated lightly from one ridge towards the other residents' houses. The clothes of the four figures wore dark compact clothes to disguise themselves in the darkness of the night.
Apparently the direction of the journey of the four figures was the Ju Ying Imperial Palace. The four figures paused for a moment, then one of the people who seemed to be the leader of the four groups made a muttering move. He looked like he was casting a spell.
From the man's hand he took out a small bottle and sprinkled a black powder around the four of them. With a slow hissing…. “Bleep” thick black smoke is formed from powder sprinkled by the leader of the group.
The black smoke then flew slowly towards the imperial palace without making any noise. The four figures were hiding behind the black smoke, and were nowhere to be seen at all. Their existence had completely detected his presence. As they were in the shadow of the black fog passing through the high walls guarded by hundreds of troops of the imperial army Ju Ying. All the activities in the palace look normal and good just like nothing happened.
“Where is the royal library that Prince Ju Kai refers to??” ask the group leader.
“Please be patient for a moment Vice-Leader… I will open the map of the instructions given by Prince Jukai” and one of the group's men will open a jade slip which will then emit a map image and detailed directions in the imperial palace.
“We are heading West” said the Deputy Leader.
Black smoke moved like a thin black cloud blown by the wind. Floating is not too fast and not too slow. Everything looks natural like a thin haze at night.
The four figures are now seen to have set foot on the roof of the library. Still in silence and giving each other signs and codes, they whispered to each other while using voice transmission…
“Information says on the third floor it was the four alchemists staying over. Jump summarily and take away the alchemist” asked the vice leader.
“Wushh...”a slobberyong-silly cold wind blowing thin hit the faces of the four figures.
“Entah why my neck feather feels goosebumps.” hiss Vice-Leader Mao Xuezhe in heart.
Mao Xuezhe did not have the time to think of the goosebumps that struck his nape. He suddenly focused on looking back, when one of them stared back with a stifled scream….
“Hantu...” Hiss one of them with a frightened face.
Reflex Mao Xuezhe turned his face back. A glowing white-faced young man with gray-white hair seemed to be floating with a face very close to where the four of them were standing.
Mao Xuezhe estimated that the young man's face was only a meter away from their existence. But until now he has not heard or known when the creature came even at such a close distance. His heart was shocked..
“A high-level expert” complained Mao Xuezhe started shaking.
The young man was seen standing on his side and floating on the wind with a slope of 30 degrees, but strangely the gravitational force of the earth did not make him fall to the ground even though he was standing on such a slope.
The young man's clothes were all over the gray lacing waving in the wind with the hair that came to curl swaying in the wind. The body is like cotton swaying in the wind. Strangely enough, there was no sound. Like the wind hid all the noise that the young man made.
Seeing the dangerous situation, Mao Xuezhe immediately said humbly…
“Master Yang Sakti.pardon Mao Xuezhe who did not see the height of Mount Tay Shan in plain sight. We of the White Lotus Porters have misjudged the presence of experts residing in this Imperial Library. Mao Xuezhe please be forgiven and may the merciful master release the four of us”. Clearly the man must be the expert they were looking for where he was an expert who had intelligence far above the four of them.
The other three figures who were the Three Protectors of the White Lotus Temple (there were 8 protectors, and 3 had died at Fei Ma's hands) were seen shivering the young man standing at their close range if he wanted to kill them early on, surely the four of them had died.
In his nervousness for fear of being attacked first, one of the protectors of the white Lotus Temple reflexively released a sword stab towards the young man who remained staring coldly….
“Wushh..” Eve killed the sword detached from the hands of one of the protectors of the White Lotus Temple, accompanied by the loud screams of Mao Xuezhe…
“Do not.. stop...” will remain a pity. The nervous sword attack had been unleashed and the sword had been close to the young man's forehead.
“Krakk..!!” the sword belonging to the protector of the White Lotus Temple was broken before it touched the silent-looking young man's forehead.
Then came the whirring of hundreds of swords that shot out from the ground…. Mao Xuezhe and his two remaining herds were instantly wide-eyed and shocked in fear….
Surrounding the sword fibers made of water were seen drifting rapidly from the water pond in the garden beside the library.
“Thingg... tsing..”.
The hundreds of water swords were now darting rapidly locking up the three experts from the White Lotus Temple. Without making a single sound, the three experts from the White Lotus Temple lost their lives as hundreds of swords flew and slammed through their chests, even slicing the threesome's neck.
The young man who turned out to be Sima Yong stared at the four bodies lying on the roof of the library. A wind that was seen forming a vortex then flew up and picked up the four bodies and threw them down.
“Bury the four figures, and do not tell anyone what you saw earlier” Sima Yong said.
“Good Mr. Yong” said the commander of the twelve working forces. They carried the bodies of the four figures of the White Lotus Temple in silence. But one thing remembered in the hearts of the twelve men. How terrifying was the intelligence of Lord Yong who was the Seventh Prince's guest.

In the palace of the third Prince, the prince looked back and forth with a restless face.
“Teacher…. Did something happen to the vice leader of the White Lotus Temple with his three protectors. The day has gone by in the morning but the shadow of the four figures is not yet visible???” asked Prince Ju Kai in a huff.
“Prince…. As good as you are from now on you should be more careful. It looks like there is someone with a high head who is the protector of the seventh Prince.” Eunuch Xia Feng said.
Prince Ju Kai's face was riled up…
“Is that Alchemist a high-ability expert you mean?” prince Ju Kai.
“Hamba don't know prince. But according to my instincts, you should also be careful with the figure we think the alchemist is. Could it be that he is a highly capable person who has another profession as an alchemist??” once again in an urgent tone Prince Ju Kai asked his teacher.
“Could be so prince. Sometimes in this World of the Lake River, someone hides his skills behind professions that are fairly common in the eyes of others. But the reality behind it they are terrible Experts who can shake the world” concluded Eunuch Xia Feng.
“I want someone who controls the Alchemists to work with me. Can you find someone who has such qualifications??” ask Prince Ju Kai…
“In this Middle Region other than the Alchemists belonging to the Alchemist Alliance of God Filtering Continent, only the two sects have the ability in the field of Alchemy”.
“First is the Grey Angel Sect Hui Tianshi who is a descendant of jingling. However, this group of sects is very exclusive and too close themselves”
“Both are Bright Religious Sects. However, until now after the return of their three Bright Envoys after attending your invitation, there has been no news from those who expressed their support for you.
Prince Ju Kai's face looked even more riled up…
“Then..who else is there? In such a vast world..is there no one else who possesses the abilities of an alchemist who is willing to support me this Third Prince?” his face was reddened in an outpouring of emotions.
Eunuch Xia Feng hurriedly calmed Prince Ju Kai. Then in a mysterious-sounding tone he said..
“Have you heard of a closed Sect called Sect Du Hua (Toxic Flower Sect)??”
“Sekte Du Hua is actually categorized as a 9-Star Sacred Sect. However, because their expertise was in the field of poison which was a forbidden technique, the Sect then hid itself and confined itself in the valley of the Toxic Flower. Actually people did not know that this Poisonous Flower Sect was very skilled in cultivating and creating poisonous arrays that were lethal in nature. That was because no one dared to visit the Valley of Poisonous Flowers, except to get a special permission from that Sect Master.
>>>>>>
Sima Yong walked into the library after he slaughtered the 4 experts from the White Lotus Temple easily. When he re-opened the copy of the book in the Forbidden section that explained the forbidden techniques using the evil poison…
“Young..your fighting abilities and Techniques look more and more advanced”.
Sima Yong raised his head from the reading in front of him and then replied to the utu sound using the transmission….
“Uncle Yang-who praised me too much. when compared to your skills, what does this young Sima Yong mean. When compared to your ability, I am like an ant in front of you” Sima Yong laughed embarrassedly because of it….
“No need for you to be too humble young man. If more and more Techniques that you can absorb his essence from hundreds of thousands of books, I believe in the not too long time.You are able to conquer me in battle”.
>>>>>>
In a part of the imperial palace complex…
“Mother...Your son really felt very intimidated by the seventh Prince. He had even broken through his cultivation and had now been worthy of being nominated as the crown prince. This child of yours will undoubtedly have no chance of becoming the heir to this empire”
Prince Ju Kai was seen wailing in tears at the feet of a middle-aged woman but looked very beautiful and graceful. So hopeless was the cry of the prince, that the woman could not bear to see the sorrow of her beloved son.
The beautiful woman was either the Imperial empress Ju Ying or the Grand Empress. The empress was the second empress after the first empress (mother of Prince Ju Qin) was pronounced dead after giving birth to Ju Qin.
“My son don't be sad. Let the mother who will help get rid of the seventh Prince it” whispered the empress.
“I heard that the Emperor will send an envoy to the East to make an alliance with the East Embryonic State. Isn't the journey to the East Dew Country very far and high risk?? Could the prince have been killed on the street, right???” The empress winked at Ju Kai who looked wide-eyed.
Then with a changed face back bright Ju Kai kissed the Empress Dowager's forehead.
“Mother... You are someone who is very extraordinary...”.
