268 The Demon's Invasion 46

/*unedited*/

The two princes from the Xi Empire and the two princes from the Wu kingdom enter the large laboratory room while having a good discussion. Suddenly the four royalties stopped from their steps as they noticed the people around them.

And in the middle of the crowd stood tow people hugging each other. When the two princes from the Xi Empire saw Qian Li hugging a man who looks familiar, they showed a confused look on their face.

While the two princes from the Wu Kingdom showed disbelief in their eyes.

Mingsha Wu is currently talking with Li Yan Xi the 2nd prince and Jiao Long Xi the crown prince about his growing business. He was introducing to them his friend who helped him a lot. The two princes are now familiar with the name s.h.i.+n Jiao because of Mingsha Wu.

However, the name seems familiar yet the two could not recall it.

As they were not in contact with the s.h.i.+n Jiao from s.h.i.+n County, the two could not truly recall everything about him.

But now, in front of their eyes is someone they cannot forget. This is because; the s.h.i.+n County is calling him their master. He is the reason why a lot of wonderful things are happening in the whole empire.

And so with a smile on their faces, they approached the two figures.

"Brother, s.h.i.+n you're already here!"

"Master Jiao, you're here!"

The two greetings were voiced out at the same time making everyone showed a confused look.

When Qian Li saw what's happening, she showed a sheepish look on her face while wiping her tears.

Then she stepped forward and respectfully bowed.

"Everyone, I Qian Li would like to introduce his to you all. This is my real master, s.h.i.+n Jiao. He is the one who saved us from the dungeon inside the Daemon forest, and also the man who saves the town of Dis from the beast horde. He is also the real master of s.h.i.+n County." Qian Li said proudly.

When everyone heard this, they showed a dumbfounded look on their faces. However, the people in the room are all intelligent, and with a simple a.n.a.lysis, they already understood what is going on.

From the technology that was introduced in the city of Wu and how the people from s.h.i.+n County would talk about how everything is almost the same, they now know who s.h.i.+n Jiao really is.

Even the four princes arrive with the same conclusion.

Suddenly, the 2nd prince of Xi, Li Yan Xi walks towards s.h.i.+n Jiao.

"So, it was you," he said with a serious expression in his face.

Li Yan Xi has already met his fiancée, Cherry Lao. And from the first time he had seen her, she has already captured his heart.

Cherry Lao is a headstrong woman and a powerful figure of the Lotus sect. She has gained her strength through her own ability and with the help of s.h.i.+n Jiao, and Li Yan Xi is aware of this. He knows that ever since he met her, there is already someone in her heart. However, she truly made an impression in his heart so he swore to confront the man in her heart and put forward his claim.

Back in the Xi city when he saw s.h.i.+n Jiao he wanted to make his move but noticed that the man seems off. He is not as heroic and firm as what Cherry Lao describes him to be. And when he learned about the amnesia, he showed relief. But Cherry Lao would always throw glances at him and show angry looks whenever she would see that man walking with the leader of the s.h.i.+n County, Qin Lou. This made him feel uneasy and angry at the same time.

To clear his mind, he went back to the North and decided to enter and prepare for the upcoming war. This way he can clear his mind.

But then he didn't think that he can see that man again and yet discover something that he didn't expect. There are actually two of them in this world.

Now as someone who fell in love with a woman for the first time in his life. How can he tolerate this?

So, Li Yan Xi decided to confront the real person who captured the heart of the woman he loves.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao saw Li Yan Xi, he showed a confused look on his face.

He didn't know the reason why the man in front of him exudes an angry aura. Although he is not showing a killing intent, yet the young man's eyes are telling him that he wanted to beat up s.h.i.+n Jiao.

"Brother s.h.i.+n, this is prince Li Yan Xi the 2nd prince of Xi." Mingsha Wu introduced upon noticing the sparks happening between the two men.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao heard who the person is, he immediately recalled about Cherry Lao and her supposed fiancé. He has already heard about it, while he was staying in the town of Dis. But upon hearing and meeting the man now made him feel a bit comfortable.

Although he and Cherry Lao is already history, as someone he once loved, s.h.i.+n Jiao would sometimes think about her. But, he didn't want to be embroiled in this mess right now.

He already saw Qian Li, his right-hand woman in the underground base, so he is already happy.

"This commoner greets the 2nd prince of Xi." s.h.i.+n Jiao just humbly greeted with a bow.

Hearing, s.h.i.+n Jiao greeting him politely, Li Yan Xi didn't push through his plan. He still has many opportunities to face the guy, so he would just let it go just this time. He didn't want to worry, but his heart is troubled because he is not sure what would happen if this man approached Cherry Lao? That is something that he cannot accept. If it needs to be, he would eliminate the young man in front of him.

Suddenly, when this thought enters his mind. A strong dark and holy Qi chaotically embroiled within his body. This made his face flush red.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao noticed this, his eyes immediately turned serious. He then used his absolute sense to see what's happening inside the young prince's body.

When his absolute sense enters Li Yan Xi's body, he was stunned at what he is seeing.

Two gigantic figures of dragons are currently entangled together held by a yin and yang trigram array symbol.

"These are G.o.dly figures! Why are they inside the body of the 2nd prince?... Golden Dragon, Black Dragon, and the symbol of G.o.d's blessing." s.h.i.+n Jiao though in amazement.

While reading about this world in the library of the academy, he stumbled upon a myth and a legend, called G.o.d's blessing.

A thousand years ago, this continent was ruled by two powerful creatures. The holy Golden Dragon of the south, and the dark and vicious Black Dragon of the North.

These two powerful beings ruled this continent in anarchy and chaos. Almost all of the creatures in the land are either destroyed or eaten by these two great creatures. But one day, a Deity came down into this plane and subdued the two powerful creatures. However, that Deity found out that the two creatures are actually not some random creation of this world. They are the same as he is, the two are also Deities.

The three fought for many years and not one of them won. Seeing that the devastation is getting out of hand, the Deity decided to sacrifice his fleshly body to trap the two.

Forming the Yin and Yang array and his eternal body as the power core, the Deity was able to suppress and trap the two powerful beings. He set his fleshly body in the center of the continent and cast a huge array to protect that place.

In the current era, that place is called the Daemon Forest.

With this, the Deity's immortal soul went back to the upper plane and recuperates to regain a new body. No one knew what happened to the two powerful beings, but there was a prophecy that says one day, those two dragons would come back and lay waste to everything, claiming back the continent as their own once again.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao saw the two creatures in front of him, he could not help but show a serious expression.

Suddenly, the two dragons moved and turned their heads towards him.

"Who are you?" the two asked in a deep voice.

s.h.i.+n Jiao didn't reply and continue observing.

"How can a mere mortal see us?"

"You old fool, do you think he can see us? We are higher beings."

"Stupid old man, it was hard for us to escape into this body. We must not fall under the hands of that Shadow Void being."

"Hey, I'm the one suppressing our aura. If that creature captures our souls, then it would be too late for this world."

Upon hearing the two discuss, s.h.i.+n Jiao's expression changed.

With his knowledge along with what he has heard, he knows how important the figure of this 2nd prince is on this continent. He is not sure if those two dragons are correct, but if they are… then. When the secret of the 2nd Prince's body is exposed to the world, many would fight over him and would use everything they can just to get those two souls inside his body.

It would start a great war in which the world would be plunged into chaos. And that is what s.h.i.+n Jiao didn't want to happen.

When Qian Li sensed that there is something wrong with s.h.i.+n Jiao's expression she immediately worries.

"Master…"

"I'm fine." s.h.i.+n Jiao lifted his hand to stop her.

"What happened? It seems that he discovered something." The 2nd Prince could not help but be suspicious.

He clearly noticed the changes in s.h.i.+n Jiao's expression when his mood suddenly changed.

But before the atmosphere would become awkward the crown prince of Xi, Jiao Long Xi stepped forward.

"Young Jiao, it's an honor to meet you finally." He said with a regal smile fit for the future emperor of the empire.

Upon seeing his expression, s.h.i.+n Jiao bowed and cupped his hands to greet him politely.

But at the side of his eyes, s.h.i.+n Jiao could not help but show a worried look on his face towards the 2nd prince of Xi. Although he didn't like the person, yet if it would really cause total destruction throughout the empire and even the whole continent, then he has no choice but to protect the man or kill him.

However, killing him is not an option because he didn't what would happen next. Everything is truly dangerous and unpredictable.

Plus there is a new enemy which the two creatures called, the Shadow Void being.

He didn't know who it is or what it is, but he is sure that this thing's target would be the one who carries the souls of the two dragons.
