The entire day at sea was spent by Fang Yun just lying down. Only when Zhao Wen knocked on his cabin door and told him they were about to dock did he finally rise and step out of the room.

Fang Yun saw the land of Xuo spread clearly before his eyes. If his guess was not mistaken, it would not be long before they reached the shore, where a vast stretch of white sand awaited.

As expected, the ship carrying them both docked at the harbor. Fang Yun and Zhao Wen then led their horses down the deck until their feet touched the soft white sand.

Fang Yun lifted his head, inhaling the air of Xuo for the first time. Three times he drew deep breaths, exhaling slowly.

“Zhao Wen, let’s follow this beach. Later we’ll find a place to stay in the nearest village.”

Zhao Wen nodded, leaping onto his horse and riding slowly, with Fang Yun following behind.

As night approached, they quickened their pace when they spotted a fishing village. Upon arrival, they saw a man, not too old, sitting alone in front

  • The Fall of Emperor Ismaya

    "Please convey to His Majesty the Emperor, we have brought the head of Prime Minister Wu Ao. At this moment, Prime Minister Yu Lai is pursuing Prince Yu Lai, who managed to escape," Fang Yun said to the guards at the palace gate."Let me be the one to present the head of Prime Minister Wu Ao to His Majesty," the soldier replied.Fang Yun shook his head. "By the Prime Minister’s command, I must deliver this head personally to His Majesty!""Hey, aren’t you the mute soldier from yesterday?" one of the guards suddenly asked, recognizing Fang Yun. "How can you speak now?" The soldier gripped the hilt of his sword."This must be a blessing from the heavens. I never imagined I could speak again after being mute for so long," Fang Yun replied, feigning joy.The three gate guards looked suspiciously at Fang Yun and Zhao Wen. But their suspicion lasted only a moment, for Zhao Wen swiftly knocked the three unconscious with a single strike."You’re too fast. I was still enjoying the act.""Enoug

  • :The Flames That Opened the Gate

    Dozens of bursts of flame shot forth and slammed into hundreds of soldiers who were unprepared for the attack.Not stopping there, Fang Yun unleashed the same move again, this time channeling extra inner energy. A huge blaze raced forward and caused a deafening explosion.Blaarr!A dozen or so burning bodies were hurled wildly through the air and slammed into other soldiers. The growing dusk made the scene even more chaotic as men scrambled to save their burning comrades.Fang Yun searched for Prime Minister Yu Lai amid the mêlée of soldiers. His eyes were sharp and he saw the prime minister running, trying to leave his men behind.Because he had to push through so many soldiers who might attack him at any moment, Fang Yun drew on Qiang Mo Energy until his body flared up fiercely. He figured the soldiers would avoid him rather than risk being burned.Fang Yun ran with his body blazing, passing through the ranks while the soldiers instinctively dodged out of his way.“So the prime mini

  • Clash of Fire and Ice

    "Drunken Dragon Claw!" Fang Yun's fingers tried to tear Prime Minister Yu Lai's throat, but the old man was quicker. He unleashed his Air-Freezing Art again, and Fang Yun could not move. "That art again!" Fang Yun once more drew on Qiang Mo to neutralize it. But he was too late — Prime Minister Yu Lai's strike had already landed on his abdomen. Fang Yun was thrown far backward until his back struck a large tree. The crack of splintering wood and the tree toppling sounded loudly. Fresh blood ran from Fang Yun's lips from the impact. He pushed himself up immediately to continue the attack. "You're so foolish, Fang Yun! Why did you release my energy? You'll be in trouble if he uses that art every time!" Qiang Mo snapped. Fang Yun let out a small, strained chuckle. "How was I to know he could use that art again so fast?" The youth drew Qiang Mo's energy into his body and flowed it through himself. Fang Yun shot forward with high speed. Prime Minister Yu Lai, having recovered after

  • The Duel of Fire and Steel

    “Prime Minister, there are some horses tied up over there!” Sun Jihan whispered.“So, it’s true they are here. Let’s ambush them!” Prime Minister Yu Lai replied. His suspicion toward Sun Jihan and Fang Yun immediately vanished—Sun Jihan had given him proof.From behind the rocks, Prime Minister Wu Ao observed the Bayan troops’ movements. “Be ready, Zhao Wen! They’re coming this way,” he said, gripping the hilt of his sword.Zhao Wen nodded slightly.When only fifty meters remained, Prime Minister Yu Lai gave the signal to charge. Two hundred soldiers rushed forward, blades drawn from their sheaths.“There’s nothing here, Prime Minister!” one soldier shouted.Yu Lai ran at once, anger flashing across his face. “How can there be nothing? Their horses are still tied there!” he barked.Turning his head, he searched for Sun Jihan and Fang Yun—but the two were nowhere in sight.“Looking for someone, traitor?” Wu Ao and Zhao Wen emerged from behind the massive rocks.Yu Lai spun around, his

  • The Trap

    The next day, dressed as soldiers, Sun Jihan and Fang Yun set out for the palace of the Bayan kingdom to carry out their plan. Fang Yun had more than one reason to join this mission. Besides wanting to observe the situation inside Bayan’s palace, he also wished to make sure that Sun Jihan would not betray them.After a full day’s journey, Sun Jihan and Fang Yun finally arrived at Bayan’s capital city. Fang Yun could see that what Prime Minister Wu Ao had said about Emperor Cheng Ho’s wisdom was indeed true.The capital of the Bayan kingdom was well-organized. The people’s economy seemed prosperous, with many merchants selling their goods in the bustling streets.Upon reaching the palace gates, Sun Jihan and Fang Yun showed the imperial seal required of every soldier. They were then allowed to proceed into the royal hall to put their plan into motion.A soldier entered the hall shortly after Sun Jihan whispered something to him. Soon, the soldier returned and escorted them both inside.
