The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#174. Grand Emperor
After Tao Ming's failure to infiltrate the palace and execute Liang Hoi's plan, emperor Xiao Yan summoned all military officials including Chen Khu as the one who fought directly with the mysterious swordsman.
" First I thank brother Chen...! I was happy that Chen Khu had managed to thwart the intruder that was heading towards the palace.but on the other hand, I was worried because it turned out that the intruder's ability was very high because it had managed to pass through all the guards without being detected in the slightest.. " said Xiao Yan opening the meeting.
The occurrence of a mysterious swordsman who tried to infiltrate the palace during the day made the entire population and the palace uproar..although no one saw the mysterious warrior in person, but the testimony of warriors and warriors who witnessed Chen Khu fighting alone made them doubt the ability of the soldiers - the guards who would guarding the course of the wedding that will take place the next day.
The presence of intruders also forced General Guan Yu to change the placement of high-ranking warriors..Swordsman - swordsmen using illusion techniques were placed along the castle fortress and the emperor Shun Zhi who was originally staying in a special building was transferred to the palace of the emperor Xiao Yan to facilitate guarding.
"The intruder who almost managed to enter the palace has a very high ability.. but another swordsman who helped him escape is also not a random swordsman.for that we need to investigate who they are and what they work for the organization.. " emperor Xiao Yan continued, but in the meeting room there was only silence.nobody present said a word.
Emperor Xiao Yan then turned to General Guan Yu and nodded his head asking him to continue.
"Lately, there have been many events that have occurred around our region that, although only minor events carried out by the organization of demon assassins.. but the intensity of the activities they did and their ability to disappear from the scene before our soldiers got to the site made us think that yesterday's events had something to do with the organization..... "
General Guan had not finished his words yet but a boisterous voice immediately filled the meeting room when the general called the demon slaying organization the mastermind behind yesterday's infiltration.
Guan Yu tried to appease everyone present then asked the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the army who had heard or obtained the reports regarding the demon slaying organization which later continued to unsettle the residents of even the swordsmen of the Han empire.
The discussion that night lasted long enough to finally be agreed to increase the number of troops and focus the guard only around the palace because General Guan was concerned if the current target was the emperor's family or family nobles who are in the palace, while for security outside the palace will be assigned a hundred high-level warriors who will continue to patrol to provide security to the city residents.

Elsewhere.....
Tao Ming was still trying to recover his body as Liang Hoi walked into the meeting room they used to use. Riu Ji's...the sword elder who saved Tao Ming was also sitting cross-legged while gluing both of his palms on the back of the foamy Tao Ming helping him to recover the condition of the Tao Ming who still looked weak due to being exposed to the pressure of the sky aura very large and from a very close distance.
The two immediately stopped their activities when they saw Liang Hoi walking into the meeting room.
"It looks like something happened outside of our expectations.. " Liang Hoi opened the conversation while sitting in his chair.
" and again the young man using magic made my body feel very heavy like it was hit by a very large stone even making me almost spend all the energy in what I have to escape from the pressure but things it actually made me get deep wounds like this. ", Tao Ming said, recounting the events he experienced with occasional coughing.
"Sir Chief.I also watched from a distance.if in fact the Taoist elder dominated the fight.but suddenly I saw the Taoist elder like difficulty to move even to sit down.."
"I even felt the same pressure trying to save Elder Tao.. "
"Although not for a second but I felt that my body was like a big stone.. it was fortunate that the young man immediately withdrew his magic because the imperial soldiers who were quite far away with the fighting arena also felt the same way even many of them were unconscious.. " riu Ji said chiming in on Tao Ming's explanation.
"Magic..??!!" said Liang Hoi nodding - nodding his head while rubbing his long white beard.
"That's the aura of the sky..!! "
A voice arrived - suddenly heard accompanied by a white puff of smoke that appeared in the middle of the meeting room and slowly - the land of an old man in all-white clothes appeared while holding a cane.
"Great Emperor..!"
All the elders present in the meeting instantly knelt in reverence upon seeing the man.
Liang Hoi immediately got down from his seat and allowed the old man called the great emperor to sit down on his seat.. all the elders present in the room were also amazed by the presence of the great emperor.
In contrast to the last time they met him.This time, the great emperor's legs were blinded by nothing to trace the floor of the meeting room.His body floated towards the chair commonly occupied by Liang Hoi.
"Aura Skies..!! an aura identical to that of the Heavenly Dragon Heirloom Sword user..!! "
"A legendary and long-lost heirloom of the martial world, is now resurfacing.. "
"After more than three hundred years I finally have a chance to get the strongest heirloom" said the great emperor as he turned his back and sat in the seat of greatness Liang Hoi.
