Chapter 23: Views

Late at night once everyone had fallen asleep Zhang sat crossed leg in his room. Yuying and Ai were cuddled up on the comfy bed and fast asleep.

And using only thoughts the user of the Rules Domain could manipulate this space to their own will. The image appearing in their mind of course is the space within the ring.

"Although the it's not big I could use it to hide people still." Zhang said.

As he examined the blank space something odd happened. The room seemed to be faintly expanding.

He kept it in his pocket naturally because if he needed to he could use it at a moments need.

"So that's how it is!" Zhang yelled out in his mind.

However, the Underworld Heart used essence naturally in the air allowing it to channel an almost endless amount into the ring. Thus feeding the ring and allowing it to grow.

Hmm once more! Zhang thought and continued to pour in more energy from the Underworlds Heart into the ring.

Of course living creatures could not be made using the power of the Rulers Domain nor could the things created within it be taken out.

He erected small mountains, a lake, and a plain by the lake. On top of the plain he created a tiny castle. Once the exterior of the castle was made he began making the rooms individually.

Hmmm maybe if I designed a prison in there too! Zhang thought.

Soon an extremely beautiful castle was created and it came fully equipped with hidden rooms a dungeon, and hundreds of rooms. In each room Zhang even went to the trouble of creating furniture.

Zhang ended up creating many things within the domain. He became so engrossed in building the world that he lost track of time.

"Maybe one day it'll grow big enough for me to make these things in a bigger." Zhang thought.

As Zhang sat there basking in the glory of the domain he created a sudden a knock could be heard on his door.

"Senior is that you?" Zhang asked.

Zhang slid the Rulers Domain on to his finger and got up from where he was sitting. After getting up Zhang nimbly walked to the door and opened it.

"Follow me I wish to talk with you somewhere more private." Jian Wei said as he gestured Zhang to follow him.

"From this room we are able to see a portion of the entire city. Come here and have a look." Jian Wei motioned to Zhang.

"What do you see when your look at this view?" Jian Wei asked

"Do tell."

"Indeed, indeed and can you tell me what you think brought about this progress." Jian Wei said with a glint in his eyes.

"That is true, and how do people unite others who have conflicting views." Jian Wei asked.

"Yes, uniting the world would end many if not all large conflicts. Zhang you are indeed very wise and I'm very fortunate to have run into you. So far you have exceeded my expectations so I would like to purpose for you to become my foster son." Jian Wei said.

"Nothing to say. I wish for you not only to become my foster son but for you to be my successor. You're gifted in combat and possess a mind that is many years beyond your age. You are decisive when the moment calls for it and is a natural born leader. I've been searching for someone to help me realize my dream of uniting the warring states region for many years now. And you are the first that I feel has what it takes." Jian Wei said excitedly.

"I'll take your silence as a yes!" Jian Wei said as he pulled out a medallion from his pocket and presented it to Zhang.

"Once we reach the city I will make an official announcement. And good night." He said as he left the room.

"Sigh, I guess I'll hold on to this and things that are meant to happen will happen." He said as he took another look at the city below.

A few hours before noon Zhang and the group had gone and bought supplies for their trip to Aurora City. Supplies such as food, and other necessities.

After buying a few things by himself he met up with Yuying and Ai.

"Just this and that." Ai replied.

"Erm food, a bed, water, and a few other things." Ai replied

This is because she bought a bed to use during the trip to Aurora City. Somehow it just seemed funny to him.

Although they would be traveling within the caravan it was best to have horse to use. They never know when they might need horses.

Jian Wei had said earlier that he would squire horses for everyone but Zhang turned him down. He thought the experience of picking out their own horses would be an enjoyable one.

This certain breeder catered mostly to the wealthy supplying them with horses of various kinds.

"Hello young master and misses. How may I help you today? She asked.

He did not want to waste time because had he not said money was not an issue the attendant would most likely take him on a stroll through all of the stables they had from most affordable to most expensive horses.

"Here are our best horses they are a mix breed of purebred horses that are ridden into war and horse demonic beast called Inferno Wind Walkers." The young women said.

The Inferno Wind Walkers they were breed from can run hundreds even thousands of miles a day without tiring. They can run so fast that they look like they are running on the air. So naturally since these horses are a crossbred from them these horses are also possess some of their qualities. The young woman said.

Naturally if a mixed breed looked so powerful then a purebred would be many times more powerful.

Soon the middle aged man came over and greeted the trio.

"Name your price." Zhang said.

"Thirty thousand gold coins? Why don't you go rob someone? Zhang said.

"I'll take three for seven thousand." Zhang replied with a grin.

"Eight." Zhang said as he started to walk around.

"We will be needing saddles also." Zhang said as he waved his hand and withdrew gold coins from his interspatial ring.

A while later the trio each picked out their own inferno Wind Walker. These demonic beasts were of the 4th level and were twice as large as normal horses.

The trio picked out matching horses with black coats. And matched with the red fire manes and tails these horses looked extremely fierce and dangerous.

"The lord of the city has announced that due to bandits sneaking their way into the city we will be closing the city gates and detaining any dispersions people." A soldier yelled out.

"You there come with us! We suspect that you three may have met the bandits." A soldier said as he walked toward the trio.

Nothing wrong? We have orders from our superiors stating you may be related to the group of bandits come with me or dont regret it when we use force! The guard barked.

With a neigh the Inferno Wind Walkers galloped away.

The soldiers must have been ordered specifically to capture the trio and there were probably no bandits at all.

"Lead the way brother!" Yuying yelled back.

But how could men on two feet compare with a beast that has wind walked in it's name.

Once they lost the soldiers they headed directly to where they said they'd meet Jian Wei. When Jian Wei saw the trio in such a hurry he quickly asked them what was wrong.

"Hmmm this may be a problem. We could always lay low and I'll have my people contact the army of Aurora City and demand they let us out." Jian Wei said.

"Actually I came here to tell you that I have a plan." Zhang said.
