The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 37. CROW RULER

After three days of preparation, the Dong Kingdom army returned to the King's Capital after a month-long battle led directly by King Park and Prince Park's only son. The battle this time had an unexpected result and had never existed during the establishment of the Dong Kingdom. The Royal army that was on the verge of a great defeat turned around a hundred and eighty degree victory just because of an unknown young man. The young man easily turned the situation around like it was easy to turn the mouth. A super-genius youth who came out of nowhere.

The news of the Royal Army's victory soon spread throughout the Kingdom. Hooray cheers and triumphs appeared around the road leading to the Palace City. The people of Dong Kingdom had gathered to welcome their great victory. Congratulations and happy words accompanied every step of the Kingdom army to enter the palace. The people present were even more fascinated to see dozens of high-level Mythical Beast corpses at their respective cultivation levels.

The victory of Dong Kingdom reached the ears of Emperor Wu and was very happy to hear the victory. For him, Dong Kingdom has contributed greatly in expelling the rebels that even other Kingdoms under his control refuse to accept the task. Only the Dong Kingdom had a high spirit soul and also Everyone knew that the rebel forces had cooperated with the Hall of Souls. An organization that is very violent and cruel and likes to behave arbitrarily. An organization one of the strongest in the world that had two Saint Expert realm Cultivators that even the Star Pavilion also did not dare to provoke the Hall of Souls for no reason.

Emperor Wu took the initiative to go to King Dong directly to bring a huge reward for King Dong's achievements. However he did not know that there was a young man who helped Dong Kingdom achieve this great victory. Because it was deliberately not told to the public. Only the soldiers who fought in the war knew that. The troops have also vowed not to say anything about the young man who had helped them. The young man deliberately asked for it because he did not like to be the public attention and became the spotlight of the crowd.

Currently at the Dong Royal Palace after a day's rest, Tang Xiao, King Park and his Son, Physician Kim, General Kim and a few other royal higher-ups were gathering in the hall enjoying their victory celebration. Laughter filled the room. King Park had heard of Emperor Wu's arrival so he deliberately made a lavish feast to welcome Emperor Wu and also intended to introduce Tang Xiao to Emperor Wu. A scream sounded from outside.

"Emperor Wu telab has arrived!!"

King Park and everyone present stood up to greet and honor Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu was a populist Emperor so he greeted everyone present in the Palace Hall who came to greet him. Emperor Wu felt a little surprised as he greeted Tang Xiao who was smiling kindly to him.

"This child is only 15 years old but already has the Golden Pill Soul Aura. Really horrible. And what is this? This qi energy in his body was extremely pure a thousand times purer than cultivators here. Is this kid from an ancient tribe?" Inner Emperor Wu was herathed and amazed. Emperor Wu sat next to King Park after he finished greeting the entire crowd. They talked long enough like old friends who met again. Everyone talks to their friends. The soldiers who participated in the war were also invited to celebrate the victory. The commoners also celebrated in their own way to enjoy the victory.

Tang Xiao when he first met Emperor Wu also felt a little stunned by the aura he had. "Indeed worthy of being an Emperor, his aura was unusual. It seemed like he had a powerful protector hiding behind his shadow. His cultivation had already reached the fifth level Saint realm. He hid it pretty well." Inner Tang Xiao while occasionally glancing at Emperor Wu's shadow. No one was aware that his shadow was moving following some pretty strong people in the room.

"Brother Park, how did you meet that young man?" Emperor Wu asked as he pointed towards Tang Xiao. He was already impatient to want to know about the unusual young man that amazed him.

"Your Majesty the Emperor was apparently interested in the young man? I didn't expect this. You're not someone who likes to be interested in things like that." Answer King Park. He deliberately took time to talk longer.

"I'm pretty interested in him. Will it be a victory this time for meddling with the young man?" Emperor Wu asked in full search.

King Park was a little stunned. He glanced at Tang Xiao who was conversing with Prince Park and Physician Kim. They look familiar.

"The young man came along with the entourage that carried Physician Kim. They said they found him lying in the middle of the road in a state of fainting out of energy. The Kim Physician's entourage led directly by General Kim took the initiative to take him to the camp because he thought he was a trading caravan that had survived the mountain bandit robbery. When he realized we asked him which country he was from and where he was going. But he didn't tell her and just said she was from a far away place. And indeed today's victory was the intervention of the boy who managed to kill elder Hyundai and drive out elder Gumei from the Hall of Souls. He was also the one who killed the entire Mythical Beast so the spoils this time around were quite large." Obviously King Park was short of lying a little.

Emperor Wu momentarily fell silent. He pondered over King Park's words saying 'from a distant place.' He already felt a bit less knowing where the youngster came from.

"King Park did you have any inkling or guess that the young man was from an ancient clan that had never shown themselves all this time?" Ask Emperor Wu.

King Park became silent. He had not expected Emperor Wu to believe about the ancient clan with such a powerful force that it had already been hundreds of thousands of years of not showing itself. From here too King Park became a little confident in Emperor Wu's analysis. Perhaps Tang Xiao had deliberately lied back then to cover up his identity so that no one would know that the ancient clan did indeed exist. An ancient clan that once saved the world. It's just that the records regarding them are really a little.

"Hmmm.. It could be Brother Wu. There were too many mysteries surrounding the child at such a young age. But what made him come to this small continent?" King Park said his words with questions that are difficult to answer.

Emperor Wu and King Park fell silent for a moment. They both glanced at Tang Xiao who was cool talking with Physician Kim, General Kim and Prince Park. King Park discarded all his thoughts about the other world and focused on the fact that Tang Xiao came from an ancient clan with a monstrous power.

"It seems like this time the world will change. Pretty interesting." Inner King Park warm smile.

A few moments later the drinking was over. The guests return to their respective places. Emperor Wu returned to Kaisaran with the Emperor's guards. Before returning he had briefly offered Tang Xiao to participate in the intercontinental Empire tournament that would be held in two more months. But Tang Xiao subtly refused the offer because he wanted to adventure and was not bound by any State or Empire. But before leaving, Emperor Wu entrusted two Diamond tokens inscribed with the words Empire of Wu to give them to Tang Xiao and Prince Park. Prince Park was allowed to participate in the Intercontinental Tournament without having to enter the selection held by the Wu Empire to choose who was eligible to participate. On a cultivation level, Prince Park was a genius at his age without even including Tang Xiao in it. While Tang Xiao got a diamond token if one day changed his mind and identity that showed that Tang Xiao was a citizen of the Wu Empire.

Tang Xiao returned to his room and prepared everything. He no longer lives in the palace. After the preparations were finished he paid his respects to those who had been close to him. Although they were a little unwilling, they could not help it either.

"Master Tang, this is a gift from Emperor Wu. He said that you are free to enter this Empire without anyone holding you back as long as you have this token." Said King Park while handing over the Diamond Token to Tang Xiao. He accepted it with a big smile.

"Well, I will gladly accept. I go first everything. Hopefully we'll meet again someday." Tang Xiao said a greeting then walked out the palace gate. King Park, Prince Park, Physician Kim and the great General let go of Tang Xiao with a smile. They knew with the strength that Tang Xiao possessed, he would not be at home lingering in this small country.

"A Dragon must fly through the vast sky to live." The muttered Physician Kim stroked his long beard.

......................

Tang Xiao walked through several dense forests. He deliberately walked into the forest looking for some third level Mythical Beasts and above. Tang Xiao only hunted the strong ones who were at the top of the power chain at each of his respective levels.

"Hey son of man get out of here before I kill you" said one heavy voice as the gusts of strong wind continued. Tang Xiao looked back and found a very large Crow staring at him sharply from the air. Tang Xiao was shocked to see that the talking Crow was let alone that his level was at level nine moreover he did not feel the presence of that crow.

"You must be the ruler of this forest? I happen to be a traveler who happens to pass by." Said Tang Xiao leisurely.

"Your humans have entered my territory. I'm warning you to get out of here again before you tear your body apart." Threatening the Crow while emitting a killing aura.

Tang Xiao chuckled. "Heh just a brave sparrow threatened me. It seems like no one has taught me manners yet."

Swosh..

The crow cried out loud unleashing an extremely powerful profound energy making a hundred meter wide ravine forest. The trees were uprooted and left marks on the wide gaping ground. Only Tang Xiao was still standing upright in place while the surrounding area had been deforested.

The crow looked surprised to see the young man before him doing well not even damaging his clothes in the slightest. Even though the young man's level was still at the ninth level of the Grand Master realm. A very distant level like the world and Heaven.

"Man turns out you're great too can survive like that. Looks like you have quite a powerful artifact protecting you. But accept my attack" The crow flapped its wings tightly. From the wings it slid large, sharp and pointed feathers fiercely towards Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao saw that just smiled. He swung his hand forward. A beam of golden light came out clashing with dozens of feathers. As soon as it was hit by the light coming out from Tang Xiao's hand, the feathers turned into a bunch of beautiful colorful butterflies flying around and around. The stunning scenery made the black Crow gaped in disbelief.

The crow that was still flying in the air again let out its attack. The crow opened its mouth, coming out of the mouth was an enormous fire. Tang Xiao was surprised to see a Crow who could let out fire from his mouth. "This animal is what the hell!" Inner Tang Xiao as he raised his right palm and took out an extremely cold ice capable of freezing the flames belonging to the Crow.

The crow opened his eyes. Just the first time he saw there was a person who could freeze his extremely hot fire.

"Heh little bird is playing enough." Said Tang Xiao pointing his index finger towards the Crow then lowering it down.

KHAAKKS

BAAAMM

The crow screamed in pain as its body crashed down as if an extremely powerful gravity sucked it from below. The body of the crow slammed into the ground and could not get up despite trying his hardest.

Tang Xiao walked up to the Crow and said "Little Bird, forever you will never be able to escape this gravity even though you have become a level ten Mythical Beast and have become a saint beast that can ascend to heaven."

"Who exactly are you and why are you here there's no way you're just at Grand Master level at such a young age?" Crow asked trying to get up with all his might but was slammed back to the ground as if a gigantic force was pounding his body down.

"I? For now you don't deserve to know who I am unless you want to be my mount and my slave. And my strength is something you will never be able to imagine. My existence in this world is heaven and sky challenging yet no one dares to forbid me. How about a little bird?"

The crow was speechless understanding Tang Xiao's words. He did not understand the words of the person before him. "Could this person be a holy old man disguised as young?" Batanin the Crow.

"Oh yes, if you become my slave your stagnant cultivation will be smooth. Look at your cultivation faltered since ten years ago. You are five hundred years old." Tang Xiao said as he stroked the Crow's head like a small bird.

The crow pondered for a moment. He did not expect anyone to know his cultivation level had faltered in the early ninth level realm. He faltered due to the lack of necessary materials despite already searching the entire forest. However if he followed Tang Xiao, his pride as a Mythical Beast Half-Saint would be tarnished. The Crow thought again, no normal human being with just one index finger was able to defeat an early-level Half-Saint Mythical Beast and render it ungodly.

"If you become my master I want to know your level of strength so that I don't wrongly follow a human child." The crow was curious. He did not believe a Grand Master realm could defeat him so easily. At least he would have to be at the five-star Holy-Ancestor realm to be able to conquer an early-level Half-Saint Mythical Beast.

SWOOSH...

Tang Xiao opened a bit of his seal of strength. The wind that was like a huge storm blowing fiercely out of Tang Xiao's body blew away anything surrounding it with an area of one kilo. The dense forest that was originally deforested only about a hundred meters, now grew bald by one kilo. It was fortunate that there were no Mythical Beasts around that were exposed to the power that came out of Tang Xiao's body.

The crow shivered in fear. Suppose there were no shackles holding him on the ground, it was certain that he would also be knocked far away and not necessarily he could survive without dying. The Crow stared in disbelief at the young man in front of him. The strength of this person in front of him was something that was beyond his reach. A power he had never seen in this world. At least the realm of the young man before him had exceeded that of a nine-star Holy Ancestor realm Cultivator.

"My master is willing to follow you." The crow's speech stammered. He immediately acted pretentious towards Tang Xiao. He no longer cared about his pride as the ruler of the forest and an early-level Half-Saint Mythical Beast. As long as he followed someone with Absolute power, there would be many advantages gained it might even be able to become a full Holy Mythical Beast and not a Half-Saint anymore.

Tang Xiao smiled widely. "I didn't expect it to be this easy to conquer this Crow. Though he was the original descendant of the Heaven Ruling Sacred Phoenix that had yet to evolve. If his ancestors knew this, I was afraid that he would be sealed hard. No one can touch mine without my permission." Inner Tang Xiao as he stepped closer to the Crow and touched his head.

Swooss

The crow slipped from the invisible shackles. All his lost strength had returned and his wounds had recovered. The crow knelt before Tang Xiao. "Master please do a soul contract for us to connect with each other."

Pawning.

Tang Xiao flicked his finger. The crow that was originally kneeling had suddenly disappeared from its place. Tang Xiao smiled. Then he flew towards the Capital.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
