Towards Eternity
Ch 533's. An Envoy

Weng Lou's statement clearly shook everyone there and they looked at Weng Lou with a gaze that was much more different than before. They were now looking at Weng Lou as if he was a madman who did not understand at all what he was saying.

To be the ruler over the entire Huwa Islands? Even Hong Mugui could not do such a thing when he was at his peak and had the Red Devil College propping him up. But Weng Lou expressed his desire as if it was not a big thing or something that sounded impossible.

"You're crazy! Do you think you can rule us all just like that?! Don't think because you have great power, you can do it!" Right now an old man who looked the same age as Hong Mugui had risen to his feet and pointed at Weng Lou's face without the slightest fear.

Intermittent after those words, everyone that Weng Lou had brought except Hong Mugui, the Second Elder, and the lady who had power in the 3rd stage of the Soul Cleansing realm, was, all of them stood up and showed a defiant expression on their faces.

"What's? You guys want to fight me again?" Weng Lou asked with a cynical smile at all of them.

"We're not afraid of you! Even though you're strong, there's no way you can fight all of us so easily!" The man who had previously returned spoke in a higher tone and they all started to take out their weapons from their storage room.

Swords, spears, daggers, and small knives were pointed at Weng Lou who was currently still standing quietly and still smiling like before.

"Yes, you really don't have to obey my orders. I only want the status as its leader, while to rule you or power and others? I'm not interested" Weng Lou said as he stroked his chin.

Hong Mugui and the Second Elder who heard that looked at each other. Is there anyone who wants to have a status of leader but does not want the power to rule? If there was any obvious that person was a very retarded stupid idiot.

But Weng Lou in front of them was clearly not such a person. He was very different from any fool they had ever met. Meanwhile, the woman who did not come to stand was thinking hard and seemed to understand the way Weng Lou thought and what he wanted with that status as ruler.

"If I may ask, are you from outside the Huwa Islands?" ask with an observing face. Everyone's attention is now on him. They only realized the most important question they should have been asking before.

But Hong Mugui who first met with Weng Lou did not ask this at all because he thought that Weng Lou was a Martial Practitioner who was originally from Fanrong Island.

Weng Lou changed his smile and laughed softly, "What if I'm not from this Huwa Islands? Do you have a problem?"

"No! It's not! Merely, I think that you are a subordinate of His Majesty the Emperor who was sent here to give us a warning!" obviously the woman was in a hurry.

"Your Majesty? What do you mean Emperor of the Gui Empire?" asked the puzzled Weng Lou.

This time, everyone who had previously stood up and intended to fight Weng Lou, as well as the woman looked surprised at Weng Lou's response.

"No, he meant the Emperor who came from the Great Ryuan Empire, and was the supreme ruler who ruled the ocean region outside the Huwa Islands. He was the emperor who led dozens of Martial Practitioners in the realm of Soul Unification and had been in power for fifty years more.

The Huwa Islands were not part of the Ryuan Empire, but the Emperor did not have any interest in the Huwa Islands, which he said were too far from the nearest island in his territory. But not infrequently also some people who claimed to be emissaries of this Emperor came to the Huwa Islands and made trouble. It's just that all this time I have always handled it because their strength is not much stronger than me," Hong Mugui said smoothly to Weng Lou.

That was when, the look in Weng Lou's eyes inadvertently seemed excited to listen to it, but then it was immediately re-controlled by Weng Lou and hidden deeply.

According to Weng Lou's estimation, there should be a person or power that rules outside of Huwa Islands and has a considerable strength and is equal to or even stronger than him. Because this has been proven, Weng Lou does not need to worry anymore in case the plan he has carried out can not even reach a good end.

'It turned out that there was indeed a remnant of the great empire that I read about earlier on the door of that basement room. If so, then this plan should be successful.

"I am not from the Huwa Islands, but I am also not part of the Ryuan Empire you mentioned, I am from a faraway region of the Ryuan Empire, that is an island that has dozens or even hundreds of Martial Practitioners who have been in the realm of Soul Unification."

An island that had countless Martial Practitioners of the Unification Soul realm! Everyone there could not help but be surprised. Even in the Huwa Islands there was not a single person who possessed such power, and Weng Lou who had caused destruction in this place turned out to be from such a place.

They could not imagine how terrifying the martial world was in that place with the many high-level Martial Practitioners on a similar island.

"So I'll review my question to you, do you want to become my subordinates and take control of the entire Huwa Islands?" Weng Lou asked back to them and looked back out the window.

Hong Mugui, who from the beginning had no intention of opposing Weng Lou, first knelt on the floor to Weng Lou, "I'm willing, Master!"

"Chairman!" The Second Elder of the Red Demon School still could not accept the fact that its chairman had submitted to Weng Lou. But then, he found that Hong Mugui's face was different from before and he understood the decision of the chairman.

"I, Chou Hui, am willing to be your subordinate!" Second Elder, Chou Hui kneeled on the floor to Weng Lou.

After which, the woman who possessed strength in the 3rd stage of the Soul Cleansing realm knelt down on the ground, "I, Mei Yuan, the Chairman of the Moon Martial College is willing to submit to Master!"

The statements of the three men immediately made the remaining people become affected, and then began to kneel, then acknowledge Weng Lou as the leader of them all.

"That's great. With me being the leader and ruler of this Huwa Islands, all of you need not worry about invading enemies from outside the Huwa Islands. I will overcome them and you will live your life and daily life as usual.

***

A small island with an area of only five thousand square kilometers, located near an island that has a much larger size.

On this island, there is a dense forest, but strangely there is no sound from animals or insects at all. There is only calmness and silence from the atmosphere of the night that can make people goosebumps in fear if they are in this forest.

In the middle of the forest, an old building shaped like a temple stood firmly and was seen emitting extremely powerful Soul Power from within.

At the deepest part of the old building, the figure of a middle-aged man who had a beard and mustache that filled his face, sat quietly while looking at someone before him with a cold gaze.

The person in front of him was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, but had all white hair. He was wearing a bright purple outfit with several dragon models in some parts of the outfit he was wearing. Her face looked quite beautiful, and from her body exuded an extremely strong charisma.

This woman was not offended at all by the man in front of her, and she immediately looked down respectfully at the man and began to speak to him, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Governor Ho but the Emperor is currently busy and I am here sent directly by him."

The man who was harvested as Governor Ho snorted unhappily, but he could not protest any more than that because somehow he was also a subordinate of the 'Emperor' like the woman in front of him.

"Hmp, then what business did the Emperor send you? Is it related to the problem of the beast attack a few days ago on the East Coast?" asked Governor Ho with investigating eyes.

"No, but because of the news of the appearance of a Martial Practitioner of the realm of Soul Unification at the far border of the eastern region. The Emperor asked me to 'investigate' this news properly or just plain wind news. If this news is true, then I am asked to bring the Martial Practitioner before the Emperor."

The explanation of the woman sounded respectful and seemed to show no sign of lying in the slightest, and made Governor Ho pause for a moment while thinking.

"The western boundary, if not mistaken, is the Dead Sea region where no island five hundred kilometers off the coast of the island is used as a border. How could there be someone in the middle of the ocean who appeared with such strength?" asked Governor Ho with a confused look.

The woman immediately shook her head, and took out a paper scroll from behind her clothes and opened it in front of Governor Ho, revealing a map depicting several large islands and smaller islands. all of these islands are in a line that indicates that they are a single entity of territory that is none other than the dominion of the Ryuan Empire. At the edge of the map, there is a writing 'Dead Sea' and six islands are close together at the end.

"At the end of the Dead Sea, there is an area called Huwa Islands which is formed from six islands that have six small empires that rule each island. The news of the emergence of Martial Practitioners in the realm of Soul Unification comes from this archipelago, precisely on Fanrong Island." The woman pointed at the six adjacent islands at the end of the map while looking at Governor Ho's facial reaction.

Governor Ho kept silent and stroked his thick black moustache while looking seriously at the six islands on the map, "So your arrival intent here is-"

"True, my intention was to ask for permission to borrow one of your Warships to pass through the Dead Sea and reach the Huwa Islands" he said seriously.

Governor Ho's eyes closed and his face became gloomy. Shortly a breath was released. This was one of the things he had already guessed from the arrival of the woman in front of him, which was to borrow his warship.

As a Governor who entrusted a territory to be guarded, Governor Ho got the territory on the eastern border which is the territory on the coast. Because of this territory, Governor Ho has an obligation to overcome all sorts of attacks caused by sea beasts and also the problem of the entry and exit of people at the border of the Great Ryuan Empire who are in the ocean.

In order to fulfill this task, he had created several special Warships capable of crashing into the ocean filled with sea spirit beasts and facing attacks with a scale of strength in the realm of Soul Unification.

Of course, to make this one ship Governor Ho must spend hundreds or even millions of gold coins, which makes all his expenses not big. If not for the territory he controlled this was the main trade route of the Ryuan Empire, then he would have long since gone bankrupt. But still, the monthly maintenance costs of this one Warship of his could already cost fifty thousand gold coins.

In this way, the request from the woman in front of him to borrow one of his Warships was a very difficult request for him, as it was tantamount to taking out tens of thousands of gold coins of his. Not why, but the Dead Sea is a special region that hosts many sea beasts at once. If he lent it, then the possibility of returning from his ship was just rubble.

Realizing Governor Ho's thoughts, the woman threw a storage ring at him and was immediately arrested by him. Governor Ho stared at the ring for a moment before then examining its contents.

At that instant, Governor Ho's face brightened and a big smile decorated his face.

"The emperor was very kind and generous! He always paid close attention to his subordinates! Go to port five and take Warship 3 with its crew! I will pray that you can safely reach your destination!" Governor Ho happily said to the woman, and threw a badge at her.

The woman simply bowed respectfully to Governor Ho before then starting to leave from there. He clearly understood the cost of the Warship, so the Emperor had already prepared something for Governor Ho to willingly allow him to borrow his Warship.

The storage ring he had given Governor Ho previously contained a precious resource specially chosen by the Emperor for Governor Ho. This was what caused a huge change to Governor Ho's facial expression and he was willing to kindly lend him his Warship.

"Although it was actually an obligation for Governor Ho to lend his Warship, the Emperor was kindly willing to give the compensation fee to Governor Ho. I think the Emperor is too kind. Using such a resource as a compensation expense, I think it's very unwise" said the woman, who had walked out of an old building in the middle of the forest.

He then flew out from within the forest and arrived at a large port on the beach near the outside of the forest he had just come to.

At the port, there were six ships of very large wood. On the fuselage, many large cannons were placed. Dozens of crew members were seen diligently cleaning every corner of these ships and they did not look tired in the slightest.

The woman flew off and then landed on one of those large ships. The boat he was riding on had a flag that read 3 and on it, it was seen that some people were busy wiping the dirty floor.

The appearance of this woman immediately attracted the attention of everyone. Some people who looked like warriors moved out from inside the ship and surrounded this woman with their weapons had been held and directed at her.

"Who are you?! What do you want to get on the Governor's ship!" salah or from this person shouted ferociously without caring that the one in front of him was even a woman.

"I am the Emperor's messenger! I've been allowed by Governor Ho to borrow his Warship as well as his crew to sail towards the Huwa Islands!" The woman spoke in a slightly loud voice in order to be heard by all of them there while taking out the badge that Governor Ho had given her earlier.

All those people looked at the badge seriously then looked at each other and nodded together.

"I'm sorry! We do not know your identity before, Emissary Emperor!" They all immediately lowered their heads in respect to the woman while the woman looked ordinary.

"Eh! Alright. I want you to quickly prepare the ship so that we can sail as soon as possible to the Huwa Islands!"

"Alright, Emissary of the Emperor!"

After the commandment was given, the, everyone on board immediately scattered and did their duty while the woman was still in her place and gazing in one direction where it was heading towards the Huwa Islands.

"A Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Unification? How strong was he until the Emperor himself asked me to bring him before him?"
