When world collide (Chapter 5)

Ten years had passed, and Xhan still hadn't found Jiang. However, their worlds were about to collide in an unexpected contest. Would they remember each other?

The awaited contest had finally arrived, where every clan must compete in an archery tournament and held in af Mei'yu clan renowned for their exceptional skills.

Each clan had to select two members to participate. The objective was simple: hit the center target to score points. The participating clans were Jinjiang, Hauling, Mei Wu, and Mei'yu.

As the contest began, Xhan's father reminded him, "Just focus, that's all you need to do."

Xhan nodded silently, his eyes fixed on the target.

Meanwhile, Jiang was also preparing, training daily to win. "I'yang (Jiang nickname )just focus, your opponents will be tough, especially Hauling's Xhan," Liang said with a hint of amusement.

Jiang replied, "I know,Im sure I'll win." He was about to leave for his final training, but his gaze fell upon a guy standing not far from his position.

Jiang asked Liang who is that guy "Senior Liang who is that guy? He looks sullen and arrogant" he's face look like he pissed

Liang whispered, "Don't be loud! That's Xhan, Hauling's representative. He's known for his exceptional skills."

Jiang chuckled, "He doesn't look impressive, just arrogant."

The contest commenced, with Mei Wu and Hauling clans competing first. Xhan's exceptional skills secured Hauling's victory in just 15 minutes.

As expected, Hauling won due to Xhan's outstanding performance.

Next, Mei'yu and Jinjiang clans faced off. Jiang's archery prowess stunned the crowd, but Mei'yu's skills were unmatched.

The final match pitted Hauling against Jinjiang. As Jiang took his position, Xhan is unaware that Jiang is the one he had been searching for along time.

Jiang seemed lost in thought, "I'll do it, I'll sacrifice myself." He shook his head, thinking it was just his illusion

But then, he heard a familiar voice in his mind, "Liang Wei...I can't leave without you." Jiang shook his head again, wondering if it was just his illusion

The battle lasted 30 minutes, with both clans tied. To break the deadlock, each group was given one arrow. Whoever hit the center first would win.

Xhan and Jiang stood face-to-face, their eyes locked in determination. They shook hands, agreeing to respect the outcome.

The crowd held its breath as the two arrows soared toward the target.

Xhan's arrow struck the center first, securing Hauling's victory.

Jiang congratulated Xhan, "Congratulations!,what's your name?" But Xhan remained silent and walked away.

Jiang smiled, "He's still sullen."

Liang praised Jiang, "You did your best, Jiang."

The Wei'yi clan celebrated their 50th anniversary, honoring the tournament's winners

That night was so wonderful, everyone was happy and

As every clan is happy celebrating,Liang Xiao suddenly remember something decades ago where the bloody war was happened

"If my child were here, he would be happy," Liang Xiao, the leader and master of the Mei'yu clan, said wistfully.

He missed his only child terribly, and his thoughts drifted to their absence. "Wei, where are you?" he whispered to himself, his eyes welling up. He was a great father, husband, master,leader that just want to succeed his one and only son Liang Wei.

He forced to live even though he's struggling,his wife and son are dead,his the only one who stay.

But he promised himself,he will live until he found his son,Liang Wei

To conceal his sorrow, Liang Xiao forced a smile.

He deeply missed his child, constantly wondering if the ritual used decades ago had been effective.

Rumors about the event had long been buried under the clan's prosperity. The newer generations were unaware of the past and Liang Wei's sacrifice.

Liang Xiao's servant approached him. "Master Liang Xiao, are you okay?"

"I'm okay," Liang Xiao replied, composing himself. "Please, continue serving the Emperor's Blend liquor." The servant follow the Master's request as master Liang Xiao continue to drink.

A servant was preparing to carry something out of her room when someone beckoned her back inside.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?!" the woman was about to shout, but fate cruelly intervened, and she was stabbed by another woman.

A blue, smoky mist emerged from the victim's mouth, resembling a wispy vapor. The killer gazed at it with an unnerving intensity and swallowed the mist.

As soon as she swallowed, her body underwent a grotesque transformation, and dark veins began to protrude from her skin.

After consuming the blue mist, she swiftly departed.The victim brutaly murder by evil spirit,the body remain at the room as everyone is happy and unaware what is happening.

Meanwhile Jiang's enthusiasm was contagious as he approached Xhan, who stood tall, his gaze fixed on the horizon. The warm sunlight danced across Jiang's face, illuminating his genuine smile.

"Hi, I'm Jiang. I've seen you around the here. You're quite skilled," Jiang said, his voice filled with excitement.

Xhan's expression remained unreadable, his eyes cold and detached. The wind whispered through the trees, but Xhan's silence was more profound.

Undeterred, Jiang continued, "What your name?" Jiang asked,His words hung in the air, awaiting a response.

"You heard it in announcement" xhan pissed Jiang,xhan is so cold :D "Ohh yes!! Y-your zhan?" Xhan sudden shocked on what jiang said.

"What did you say?!" Xhan asked,Jiang is so confused..he was too stunned to speak

"Ahh I think you're name is zhan? Or...xhan?" xhan asked as he understood the situation

Jiang tasked again, "do you training often? Your skill quite impressed me. His eyes sparkled with determination.

Xhan's reply "are you jealous?" Xhan's started to pissed Jiang. "What?! I was just asking" he continue "I'm not jealous you asshole" xhan continue his eating like hi didn't hear anything

"If you aren't good looking,I punch you countless time" Jiang whispered on himself.

Xhan heared his whispered and pretend he didn't hear it

Xhan was bombarded with questions, but he continued sharing stories about his life. Jiang, talkative and hyper, wouldn't let up.

"Hey, you're amazing at archery. Can you teach me?" Jiang asked Xhan.

After countless inquiries, Xhan finally replied, "No."

Jiang grew frustrated and chose to remain silent, drinking his liquor instead. Seated beside Xhan, Jiang suddenly envisioned a walking woman in his mind.

Perplexed, he wondered what it meant. "My head hurts," he said, shaking his head, attributing the vision to the alcohol.

However, their revelry was disrupted by a chilling scream: "There's a dead woman in the room!"

Everyone was stunned, and the clan leaders rushed to the room where they found the lifeless body.

Jiang and xhan went to the room where they find the dead body,Jiang closed his eyes due to blood and how the killer killed the woman.

Jiang gaze to the window, and it looks so familiar to him "this looks so familiar" he didn't remember anything due to the liquor he drank.

The clans leader maintain the safety of each people "everyone it's was just nothing" everyone continue to drink and eat.

Does Jiang can finally awakening his power? And he can also senses evil spirit? I can't tell you!
