"Move forward at a slow and steady pace. Fifty of you form the ten man formations and the other fifty should form five man formations. Archers in the middle,shields at the front, spears just after the shields. Form the arrowhead formation," Tie Hongchen ordered. At this moment Tai Jian who was staring at the peach tree suddenly had a bad feeling. He felt as of something bad was about to happen and it would definitely affect him." Xue Kai,mobilise the army and charge north at full speed," Tai Jian suddenly ordered with a solemn expression. He seemed to have figured put something. After not receiving any information from Tie Hongchen Tai Jian felt that something was right but he couldn't pinpoint why but today was on a full moon night so Tie Hongchen's power was at it's peak and by observing the moon's reflection on the peach tree Tai Jian could sense Tie Hongchen's direction and knew that something was wrong. It did not take long for Xue Kai to mobilise the soldiers but it would definitely take long travelling from Qin state to the base of the shadow guild. If they moved at full speed without resting it would take them a month but then the soldiers would be exhausted and would not be able to fight. If they moved at a regular pace then it would take longer than two months to get to their destination and Tai Jian knew that he could not risk it for long. He was decisive in his decisions and left earlier before the soldiers departed. That very night Tai Jian departed and left the soldiers under the guide of Xue Kai. With his speed he would definitely take about three weeks on the way when moving at full speed. If not for the fact that his soldiers lacked speed techniques they would have taken about the same time as Tai Jian but it requires a strong body to move at such a speed could induce friction between the body and the air and the heat produced could destroy the bodies of an average soldier so Tai Jian could not take such a risk. Meanwhile the battle between Tie Hongchen and the shadow guild had already begun. Tie Hongchen and her soldiers had already decided to he vanguards and to open up a path do they would do it to the end. With Tie Hongchen's great commanding abilities and knowledge in strategies the army was stronger than any army that has been seen in the mortal realm. This battle marked the beginning of a new era. An era of mana cultivation and one of military formations that were more advanced and the Qin state would definitely be at the forefront of this new development. The shadow guild was protected by a strong formation that could not be easily destroyed. At this moment Tie Hongchen was staring at the formation with a solemn expression on her face." Divine emperor,why don't you show yourself?" Tie Hongchen asked with a cold smile." Who do you think you are to demand for the emperor to show himself?" A lady dressed in black said. She was accompanied by another lady who was dressed in white robes. The two were the white and black phoenix emissaries. They were ranked forth and sixth respectively but no one knew of their actual strength after all they were very low key and rarely showed themselves. They were twins and they cultivated a special technique which could only be performed by the both of them bolstering their strength to a whole new level. Tie Hongchen did not even spare a glance at them which further irritated them." Di Yi,can you please control your dogs. The one whom you call second was beaten to a pulp by my husband because he couldn't control his mouth and now here you are sending another two dogs. Do you think I am as merciful as my husband and will spare their lives?" Tie Hongchen asked as she stared at the black and white emissaries with disdain. She held them with contempt. The duo were angered at this and unleashed their aura to suppress Tie Hongchen but she did not even take a step back. The duo then rushed to attack. Without realising they had walked out of the formation. Only then did they realise what Tie Hongchen was trying to do but it was already too late and they could not turn back now as two soldiers were standing before them." How dare you attack her highness? You are seeking death," the two soldiers said as one of them unsheathed a sword while another took out a whip. Tai Jian's soldiers were all very skilled personnel and Tai Jian had personally taught most of them teaching them how to wield different weapons so they were all quite formidable when it cames to weaponry. The two who went forward to fight the black and white phoenix emissaries were females and they were very strong but even then Tie Hongchen did not underestimate the two emissaries. After exchanging more than five hundred moves there was no winner yet but the emissaries were clearly at a huge disadvantage. They were only two but they were fighting while preserving their strength. They were extremely cautious while fighting as the other soldiers might attack them but Tie Hongchen showed no signs of ordering other soldiers to fight them. After fighting for a while the two emissaries successfully retreated but they were injured. The two sides were just testing each other and did not deploy their best." Di Yi, why don't you open up the formation so that we can have a short discussion after all it is time you go and apologise to my father, " Tie Hongchen said. Their was no reply so Tie Hongchen retreated to the back with her soldiers. For now they needed to break the formation and Tie Hongchen was definitely prepared for it. During these years that they had been keeping a low profile they had made a lot of preparations and Tie Hongchen herself had made a lot of preparations on her side and was definitely going to give Di Yi a surprise. At this moment on top of a pagoda at the centre of the shadow guild,both the white and black phoenix emissaries were kneeling before the a man seated on a throne. Di Yi had already excluded himself out of refinement just to prepare for what was to come." The both of you have disappointed me," Di Yi said in a calm tone. One would think that he was not angry but the emissaries knew better than to make such an assumption. Di Yi was said to he very dangerous and the more calm he was the more terrifying he was and even the emissaries feared him at such a moment." It was indeed our fault. We have no excuses. Please give us a second chance to make up for it?" The two emissaries begged while kowtowing. They did not find it embarrassing to kneel before Di Yi as they knew that none of them could fight him. With the level of intense competition in the shadow guild,Di Yi being able to become the leader of the shadow just showed how terrifying he was so he was feared by all in the organisation and very few people could dare to question his orders." You have one month after that cut off your own heads. I want her head before he arrives," Di Yi said. They did not understand what he meant by the second part but they knew that a terrifying person would soon arrive. They hurriedly bowed and expressed their gratitude before they left.
