The Ding Family,
"Family head! We just got some news from the imperial palace!"
A young guard ran through the hall of the family head, through to the center of the giant hall.
He knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at the family head. The last few weeks in the family were quite tense. All of this because of the mysterious guest that had taken over the entire family.
No one knew who this person was, but no one liked it. And yet, who would have the courage to speak up? For even the family head, one of the strongest existences in the kingdom, to bow his head, this guest was far too strong for them to offend.
And now, this guest was also in the hall. And shockingly, he was seated in a throne that was right next to the family head's.
This was a sign. A sign that said that the guest was of the same stature as the head of the entire family, and that was within the family itself.
"What is it, Ding Zan? What happened? I can feel the trembling of the ground. What has happened at the Imperial palace?" The family head asked.
"Yes, family head. Something happened. There are enemies within the Imperial palace. We do not know the details yet, but the elder in-charge of the information hall told me that they need our help to fend off the enemy." Ding Zan said.
"I see. It seems like someone has finally attacked the imperial palace. I knew that this would happen sooner or later. It looks like now is the later." The family head sighed.
"We have to send reinforcements. If the imperial palace will fall, then so will the Ding family. We have to help them out." The family head shouted.
"What are you doings family head? Don't you think that you are moving a little too hasty? Don't you think that you should ask me first before you do anything?" The devil that was sitting next to the family head spoke, quieting the hall.
"Young Master Xian. Forgive me. I didn't think that you would want to concern yourself with the attack of the palace." The family head stuttered as he looked at the guest that was sitting to his side.
"I told you before, didn't I? I am very much interested in the treasure that the kingdom is running on. The Throne that all of you talk about. I want to see what is so special about this Terracotta Army as well. For a treasure that has fallen from my realm, I want to know if it is worth something." The young master said.
"Young Master Xian! The treasure is an indispensable part of the kingdom! If we lose the throne, then-"
"Do you think I care if you will die tomorrow? I don't care as long as it doesn't effect me. Now then, why don't all of you stay here? I know for a fact that that bastard Liu Ling Tian is currently inside the imperial palace. We should wait until the palace falls, and he falls with it so that we can go in and claim my prize." The young master smiled.
"But if the-"
The guest looked to the side, and he moved. He was like a blur. One moment, he was sitting on his chair, as calm as one could be. The next, he was next to the wall, the family head himself in the guest's hands, pressed up against the wall.
"I told you once. I will not repeat this once more. If you dare go against anything that I have instructed you to do, then your heads will roll." He spat at the family head before dropping him on the ground.
"Well then. I need to pass my time. I heard that your grand daughter is quite the ravishing beauty. Maybe she can accompany for the day so that I can wait for this war outside to conclude." The guest said as he started walking slowly, heading out of the hall.
The family head clenched his fists, but he didn't say anything.
"Are you deaf, you fool? I asked you something. Do you want me to go on a rampage? You are lucky that I have controlled my instincts this much. Now then, send me your grand daughter, as well as a few more women. If you keep me waiting, then I will have to go around this nice little manor of yours and choose for myself. And this time, I will not be very forgiving. The outside is also a wonderful place for union." The guest said as he left the hall, leaving a stunned group of elders, and a family head whose dignity was trampled on.
There was silence for a few minutes, before one of the elders finally spoke.
"I waited. For days, I endured this disrespect. How can you allow this to happen to our family? We are many. That is just one man, and a few subordinates. We can easily take care of him. Why don't we do that? We are in our element here. We can take care of this bastard with ease!" The oldest looking elder said.
"If I could, I would, Elder Jing. But I am not strong enough to go against this man. Even when he was injured heavily, he was able to take care of the monster that was Li Tian. Do you think that any of us will be able to stop a fully healthy Long Xian?"
"This is not a normal guest we have here. I can only blame the heavens for our terrible luck. If we got his enemy as our guest, then our time here would have been so much easier. But we have no choice. The family will have to remain closed for now. Our guest has forced us to stay put. Inform everyone that no one can leave the family."
