Troubles in Kingdom

As far as Chu Feng remember he only had bit of memories of his former self, fragments of memories were coming at him time to time, they never came all together, and due to this he never was able to find out how and when his former self died and when did he take over and perhaps the most important thing is that, whatever harmed and killed him will it come back or is it still around, there were too many unanswered questions which he had, so only thing he could do is wait and see.

Walking for few more minutes he finally reached his Study, he entered without reservation and as he did he saw two man already inside, one of them was Old Bai and other was a middle aged man with a face that will make you wanna punch him and Chu Feng was having the same feeling as well, but he controlled him self, he knew why this guy was in charge of Calm Sea Pavilion, a born to be businessman. Seeing Chu Feng enter both them stood up greeted him, Chu Feng walked to the main seat and sat there and said to the middle aged man, "What wind did carry you here Mister Lin...",

"Your Majesty, I hope you have been well since we last met..", replied Pavilion Master Lin.

"Hahaha.. I have been..", while laughing Chu Feng replied.

The atmosphere of the room at this moment seemed to be very good as Old Bai was also smiling with him, yet all three of them knew that a visit from Pavilion Master Lin is not a good news, Chu Feng from the memories he inherited knew what significance the visit of Pavilion Master means.

When Calm Sea Pavilion was build as tool and weapon against neighboring influences, it was decided that under no circumstances shall it have direct contact with Royal Family of Crimson Flame Kingdom, this caused Calm Sea Pavilion to grow at very exponential rate. However under fifty years of it's Establishment, it is said that Kingdom was at risk of facing an invasion, so at time it was decided that if ever in future the only way the Pavilion Master shall go meet the King will be under impending cause that can harm Kingdom and it's people, as well as the Royal Family.

Chu Feng understood that Pavilion Master Lin being here means that there is trouble in horizon.

"Your Majesty, forgive this subject to bring this news to you..", Pavilion Master Lin spoke with dignity.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and became solemn to listen. Old Bai also had a serious expression on his face.

To be honest, Chu Feng still had problems and few questions about himself, but he had accepted the role as the King of Crimson Flame Kingdom, considering that he was a downgrade loser in his previous life, this was considered really good, and Chu Feng liked here a lot, he wanted respect for himself from others around him, and now he was getting that without any conservation, so he will try his best to hold to it. Consider him whatever you want but he want to be top of others, letting it go, only fool would do that.

So while he wasn't some successful guy in his previous life, he still was loser which had aspiration to become other then that he already is. With that thought he started to listen to what Pavilion Master Lin has to say,

"Your Majesty, Blood Demon Hall movements are becoming more and more unpredictable, they have acting strange and received a massive boost in their strength as well....Fire Origin Sect which had matching strength as them were uprooted in night without raiseing an alarm, only some handful of forces survived...", Pavilion Master Lin said all in one breath.

Listening to him, Chu Feng also had some faint recollection about this mysterious influence, strictly speaking both Fire Origin Sect and Blood Demon Hall weren't inside the territory of Crimson Flame Kingdom, nor were they in anyhow under jurisdiction of anyone else, they had their own territory separate and ruled by themselves. Fire Origin Sect had it's headquarters outside Crimson Flame Kingdom and so did Blood Demon Hall, but both of them had branches extended to big cities of surrounding kingdoms and influences, it had two major advantages one that it had absolutely no dependency on any one and easy for them to get in various kingdoms without any problem what so ever.

But Fire Origin Sect had special existence in Crimson Flame Kingdom as it is said that it was established at same time as the Kingdom, the King at time which would be Chu Feng's grandfather was very good friends with founder of Fire Origin Sect. This led to Fire Origin Sect being first step to which any young cultivator aspires to go, many of the Generals and ministers came out of the Fire Origin Sect.

Remembering all of this, Chu Feng thought about the lady he met this morning, her name was Yun Qing`er she was disciple of current Sect Master of Fire Origin Sect as well as most likely candidate to become next Sect Master, sadly it doesn't seems that's gonna happen as Fire Origin Sect is now gone.

"What about the Sect Master of Fire Origin"?, asked Chu Feng.

"We aren't able to locate him, nor are we able to confirm anything that can prove he is dead...", replied Pavilion Master Lin.

"However we are able to get the full proof about the death of there Soul Spirit Realm Cultivator", replied Lin with little fear in his voice.

Frown appeared on both Chu Feng and Old Bai face, others might not know the significance of this but they did, the Cultivation starts from Body Refining Realm to Spirit Eastablisment Realm to Core Formation Realm to Golden Core Realm to Soul Spirit Realm, each Realm opted in significance increase of strength and amount the Spirit Qi they can store in there Daitian, from establishing Spirit Sea in Spirit Establishment Realm to forming a Core in center of it in Core Formation Realm, to turning it in Gold in Golden Core Realm and then breaking that Core to form there own Soul Spirit in Soul Spirit Realm.

These were the information which he had on Cultivation, So one can imagine the power of Soul Spirit Realm, the basic need to create an influence is that a Soul Spirit Realm Cultivator must be there to oversee it, otherwise it would only take couple of days to be annexed by others.

The strongest person in his kingdom was his father who was also a Soul Spirit Realm. That is to say Blood Demon Hall had strength of upooting as Sect which was as strong as Crimson Flame Kingdom, this made Chu Feng troubled and uneasy.

"Any idea how suddenly they were this capable..", asked Chu Feng in solemn voice.

"This...this is unknown to anyone, even neighboring influences don't know anything about it", replied Lin in uncertain tone.

Destroying Fire Origin Sect may seem unrelated to Crimson Flame Kingdom, but as large majority of it's people were from here, it will make sense that Blood Demon Hall was eyeing Crimson Flame Kingdom also or it could be that they were the next target.
