Death knights

"The wife of our clan leader, Zhang Xiao is entering the hall"

Zhang Xiao, dressed in a long white gown, entered the hall with Su Yan and Su Qing walking closely behind her.

The crowd looked at Zhang Xiao in awe, amazed by her beauty.

What was more shocking to the people present in the hall was the dress of Su Qing and Su Yan.

Except for those who were from the Lu Clan, none of the outsiders knew about the fact that the two were the personal maids of Zhang Xiao.

"Who are those two?"

"Never heard about those two, when did such beauties appear in the Lu Clan"

"What a beauty! I don't mind making my life short just to have a night with these two pretties" 

"Hmm, I will make sure I get to know the two after the end of this banquet nor better still when it's dance time, I will go ask to dance with one of them"

"Won't it be wonderful if I have those two lying in my hands and doing things beyond the ordinary"

Everyone, especially the naughty and lustful old fellows from different clans, were discussing the two beauties behind Zhang Xiao. None dared to say anything negative about Zhang Xiao unless they were confident that they would be able to fight against the clan.

Just as everyone was discussing the two, the voice of a youth from the Lu Clan ranged out to the hearing of everyone. "Wait, is that not the personal maids of our clan mistress? What's up with their dressing code, why now dressed in such an expensive and tempting gown?"

Suddenly some of the Lu Clan members began to whisper within themselves seeing that the two maids they all know had now transcended into two beauties. No one ever imagined that the two would cause such a large disturbance in the hall.

"What? Don't tell that those two are maids of the clan"

"And I was here thinking that those two were either the sisters of the clan mistress or related in one way or the other but I got it all wrong"

"This is impossible!!"

"Since now I know, I don't mind requesting those two afterward to become my concubine"

"I have been looking for a s*xmate, this two are fit to be my s*xmate. As long anyone negotiates with the Lu Clan, they can't refuse to give up the two"

"The Lu Clan are full of beauties"

The voices of different people both old and young men could be heard. Soon the hall was becoming noisy.

"Please can everyone keep their voice down" One of the royal guards suddenly shouted to the hearing of everyone.

When everyone heard the warning, they all quieted down, returning the silent atmosphere to the hall.

On the faces of Su Qing and Su Yan, a shy and embarrassed look could be seen on their faces.

Soon the announcements of others were made.

"Let's welcome the grand arrival of our old ancestor into the hall"

The arrival of the old monster caused a great turnout in the hall. The old monster was a legendary character of the clan, it was rare to see such a character but this was the opportunity to see him today.

The old Monster had long gray hair with gray bears tied in a ponytail. He was tall with a sturdy build and had a pale face and sunken eyes. He wore a long-sleeved white robe. His expression seemed cold and intimidating, it was as if his eyes could see through the secret of everyone.

The arrival of different important people in the clan was announced by the royal guards.

Suddenly a long whistle was blown into the air three times making everyone confused by the sudden large sound disturbance.

"Clan leader, almighty Lu Yi of our time. Let's welcome the clan leader, can everyone stand on his or her feet" The royal guard shouted at the top of his voice as he immediately knelt as the entire hall immediately plunged into pin-drop silence.

Nobody complained, they silently stood up on their feet, anticipation could be seen in the eyes of the young cultivators.

They all bow their heads slightly to pay their utmost respects to the clan leader of this great clan.

A group of five guards entered the hall with the clan leader walking slowly forward in their center.

These guards were clad in black costume and red masks covering their faces. These guards were fully armed with their various weapons hanging down their backs. The dress of these five was different from the other guards.

This was one of the most ruthless and heartless secret guards of the Lu Clan that was meant to protect the clan leader from any harm, these guards were called 'Death knights'.

These guards were extremely powerful and killed their opponent even though the enemy was way stronger than them, as long the cultivation base of the enemy wasn't that high. They will be able to kill the enemy with the formation that has been inscribed to them. 

The 'Death Knights' were known to be selected and trained from the moment they were born by making them go through hellish trials and training. Only the ones who are strong enough to pass through the trail, will be qualified to be termed the name 'Death Knights' and protect the clan leader. 

These five death knights weren't the only ones in the secret guards, some were still hidden in the shadows, observing out for the attempt of any enemy.

Each of these death guards radiated a strong, bloody aura that would discourage anybody from even looking at them, talking less more to saying of attacking. 

The moment these group of five came in, everybody felt the air becoming heavier under their presence and lowered their heads more. Their title might sound ordinary to the ear but they were far from ordinary and were highly feared and respected.

Lu Yi walked up to the platform where his golden chair was placed, waiting for him to occupy it.

He settled in the chair with his head held high and his gaze passing through everyone that was bowing to him.

The five death knights stood on both sides their cold gaze focused on every corner of the hall as if they were expecting an enemy at any time.

Lu Shang could only shake his head, as a hot sweat broke out in his body. 'Way too powerful. If these people appear on earth, I fear that despite the technology and advanced weapons owned by the earth, these five with be able to cause a great disaster than imagined'

The people all hail the clan leader before sitting down.

Even the guards in the hall and the royal guards remained on their knees, the royal guards of the clan can't be compared in the same breath with the death knights.

This was a pure revealing of strength and power by the Noble families…. Who wouldn't want to possess such power? Lu Yi was given birth into the family, therefore making him the next heir in line to rule the Lu Clan… There isn't an ordinary person who wouldn't envy such a man.

Even though one isn't born into any powerful family, as long as the person possesses terrifying strength. He or she will be able to cause powerful families to bow before them, that was the true logic behind strength.
