Banquan Palace

Banquan Palace is located in the northern part of Banquan Country, this palace was built more than 2000 years ago by Lord Chi You are using the power he has. For Chi you this is only a small part of the power he has. Standing on a vast barren land filled with darkness and black clouds that enveloped the Banquan palace. Not many people know about this palace. Because it is in the middle of the forbidden forest. No human dared to set foot into this forbidden forest. Only death will come if anyone dares to step into the forbidden forest.

Zhi Qiang entered the hall and walked towards the Throne where Chi You was waiting for his arrival. Zhi Qiang bowed his head respectfully not too far from his throne.

"The storm has stopped, and a while ago it's very bright, this is not an ordinary storm, in the East it was emitting a very bright blue light. Go there and bring the child to me."

"Yes My Lord, immediately carried out the order", Zhi Qiang saluted and walked away.

Bringing some guards, Zhi Qiang went to the East to Shou Qiu Country, where it was emitting a very bright blue light. "Hiah.... hiah" the horse stomped and galloped. The trip was short and didn't want to procrastinate, it only took three days of travel which should have been five days of travel. Arriving at the land of Shou Dian, the land looks like a land of the dead, ruins are everywhere, there are people who cry for their dead families who were struck by lightning, some are walking aimlessly, their eyes look blank, some are trying to move the ruins to help the people who were crushed beneath them, all seemed pitiful.

Zhi Qiang got off the horse, pulled someone who was about to leave, grabbed him and tugged at his shirt and asked, "where was the place three days ago emitting a very bright light",

The man was frightened, said whatever came to his mind, "There at the residence of Lord Shi Shou Dian" while pointing towards the south.

Zhi Qiang rode the horse, along with the guards sprinting in the direction he was pointing at. Enter every house, hunt, and kill everyone. Very brutal without mercy. No one is left alive.

Athir runs through the corridors that connects the front building with the middle building. Breaking through the servants he passed to find Lady Fu Pao and Lord Shou Dian. To tell him the news he just got. "My Lord, My Lady…." his breaths faltered, the words that came out were almost incomprehensible. Athir tried to control his breath, managed to control the tension he said "Outside My Lord, there are many guards from Banquan palace, they entered every house to look for a new-born child three days ago, where when the child was born emitted a bright blue light. They killed everyone they met.

Shou Dian and Fu Pao were surprised to hear that, they knew that the child in search was their child.

Tien Pei immediately said "My Lord, My Lady, the three of you must leave now before it's too late, go let us block the guards.

"That's right My Lord, you have to leave immediately," said Athir. Shou Dian and Fu Pao looked at each other. Horror appeared on their faces, as well as guilt for abandoning their loyal servants, sacrificing their lives for their safety.

"Hurry up, My Lord, there is no more time!" shouted Tien Pei.

"Thank you, Tien Pei, Athir, we will remember your kindness for our lifetime". They ran towards the back step to go through the back door.

The sound of the gate in front sounded loudly opening violently, the sound of guards entering the house, footsteps spread throughout the house. Sword slashes sounded everywhere, slashing the body parts of every occupant. There were heart-rending screams everywhere. Paying no heed to their own safety, Tien Pei and Athir dashed forward holding swords in their hands. Trying to draw a sword at the guards before them. Unfortunately, the sword swing speed of the guards was much faster than them. In just seconds they were dead.

Shou Dian and Fu Pao continued to run through the last Gate at the backside of their house, which had felt very long. The sound of clashing swords grew louder and clearer behind them. Finally, Shou Dian decided, grabbed his wife's arm, and said, "You go, as far as possible, find a hiding place".

Hearing her husband say that Fu Pao couldn't help but cry, tears welled up in her eyes, "No I won't leave without you" Fu Pao cried begging to stay with her husband.

"I will block them, that way you and our child have time to run"

Fu Pao understood her husband's intentions, looked at him closely, knowing that she had no other choice, with tears in her eyes Fu Pao hugged her husband one last time and then ran away from her husband to save herself and the child she was carrying.

Zhi Qiang broke in, the gate leaf hitting the wall so hard it made a loud sound. Shou Dian was already standing waiting in the middle of the room, holding a spear in hand without delay running to block the first man who entered the door, saw a man with a spear in his hand, running towards him, attacked, and tried to kill him. On the other side, at the end, behind the men, a woman with a baby in her arms runs to save them self.

Zhi Qiang dodged, easily removed the spear from Shou Dian's hand, and with a single flick of the sword, slashed the front of Shou Dian's body, from the right shoulder to the waist, instantly Shou Dian was lifeless.

Fu Pao who was not far away saw that her husband was lying lifeless, her tears were flowing, but she knew she had to keep running but it was too late, Zhi Qiang could easily catch up to her and with one jump was standing in front of Fu Pao and drew the sword in her stomach. Fu Pao fell and was still alive, hugging her son tightly, but the man in front of her grabbed the child violently. Tears continued to roll down her cheeks, her hands hanging free in the air, hoping to get her child back but in vain. Soon Fu Pao died.

Zhi Qiang took the baby in his arms, together with the guards left Lord Shi's residence and returned straight to Banquan Palace.

Zhi Qiang entered the hall holding the Baby in his arms.

Chi You looked closely at the child and saw a birthmark on the arm, a Dragon, Chi You smiled broadly, and said, "That's right, this is child, ha-ha.... this world will be under my control completely, he will find Mei Long sword , take care of this child, he is under your responsibility from now on Zhi Qiang."

Zhi Qiang looks closely to the child, one burden more he must carrying out. What kind of destine that he must take care of the child while he has to keep beside Chi you to do the job every time Chi You will order him.

He bows his head and then walk out from the hall, he walk in the corridor that led him to his own chamber where is located in the east side inside Banquan Palace.
