Chapter 21 - Truth of the Fall of the Evergreen Clan and Seeking ways to Improve Bloodline

After Dana finished speaking Kaiden frowned answering, "What do you mean the true person behind the fall of my clan? It was the Eranyth Empire which killed both Lord Evergreen and my Father!"

"Was it truly though Kaiden? Haven't you thought his death seemed a bit too suspicious how coincidentally that he fell within a perfect ambush containing all of the Eranyth's Empires strongest cultivators? Also, not mentioning even if Lord Evergreen was outmatched, as he is of similar cultivation to the highest cultivator within Eranyth Empire then he should have at least the means to escape relatively unharmed or put up some sort of resistance in a life-death struggle, but he fell too easily, to easy for a man of his reputation." As Dana continued to reveal more and more intricacies into the death of Lord Evergreen, doubt emerged in Kaiden's mind.

"But, do you have proof? And who would want the death of Lord Evergreen, I can't think of anyone else but the three Empires and they would never work together." Queried Kaiden.

"You want proof? Here, see for yourself" Dana said before handing over a parchment emitting the Azure Emperors Qi signature, in the cultivation world an individual's Qi will always be different from each other, thus a Qi signature such as the one the Azure Emperor left simply cannot be faked. Dana handed over one of the items she found on Mr Li the Houtian Cultivator under the Royal Family, honestly she originally thought it was going to be useless, but reading through it revealed such a dirty scheme that it would shock every individual in the Azure Continent. That the Azure Emperor himself was responsible for Lord Evergreen and the subordinates demise, the parchment revealed the orders from the Azure Emperor that each Houtian Expert in the Azure Kingdom would launch a sneak attack upon Lord Evergreen and his men. As Mr Li was a Houtian expert he obviously participated in Lord Evergreens death, alongside the Eranyth Empire the three Houtian experts of the Azure Empire backstabbed Lord Evergreen severely injuring him, as he was left unguarded to the Houtian experts completely unassuming that individuals from his own Empire will betray him. The three Haitian Cultivators then helped the Eranyth Empire Cultivators to finish off Lord Evergreen and his subordinates. The parchment further stated the promises of the Houtian Cultivators assistance and keeping "quiet" about the matter, as each noble family they represent will receive a portion of the Evergreen Family property and territory, which obviously was massive towards these nobles as the Evergreen clan was the largest noble family in the Empire!

Is the reasoning behind the Azure Emperor greatly weakening his own Empire? Firstly, was jealousy and fear, Lord Evergreen was much younger than himself and already achieved a similar level of cultivation, he was not only bitter that Lord Evergreen will likely surpass him but also greatly fear that he will kill him and take his Empire himself. Secondly, benefited the Enanyth Empire provided for Lord Evergreen death, they assured that with his assistance then they will provide his Empire with 30% of the pills produced by their pill masters for five years! Faced with these benefits just for killing an individual which he had long found an eyesore caused the Azure Emperor to agree without hesitation! Unfortunately, the Azure Emperor didn't factor Dana within his scheme, or it would have just been buried with time, none the wiser that a war hero in the Empire which they are most proud of died because of his own Emperor.

With Mr Li being arrogant enough to believe that no trouble would befall him just for searching for a Body Refining Beast meant he didn't burn the parchment straightaway like recommended costing this scheme to be known to Dana. Revealing the Emperor's true character as a result of this parchment will make everything way easier for Dana, now she can righteously gather individuals to usurp the Emperor without them questioning the reason why. She obviously cannot say she is the spirit beast he has been furiously searching for.

After Kaiden finished reading through the report with a face of disbelief as he said, "This is impossible! How could he do something like that, my father said he was good friends with Lord Evergreen! But, this is true... It is his Qi signature..."

"Kaiden, in this world the strong devour the weak, there are no true friends or lovers it is all a lie. Do you truly know one person who wouldn't betray you in a heartbeat just for some benefits?" Dana challenged.

After thinking on what Dana said Kaiden nodded, "I guess you're right, I am truly being naive to think that the Azure Emperor a two-hundred-year-old foggy values friendship and loyalty. But, how can we do anything? I may be considered a genius but my talent can be considered similar to the Azure Emperor in his youth, meaning we won't be achieve anything. And you may have progressed greatly in cultivation for your age, but it will take at least twenty years before you will even reach the Azure Emperor's strength never mind overtaking him!" Kaiden spoke hopelessly.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"You think this is my true cultivation? Let me show you why you should have more confidence in me." Before Kaiden could report, he witnessed in amazement as Dana's cultivation continuously rises until reaching Houtian 2nd Rank. A 2nd Rank Houtian at eighteen, Kaiden had never seen such a monstrous genius before... She far surpasses the best genius which has ever existed in this continent... I guess I can put some hope in her, she will definitely overtake the Azure Emperor.

"What do you want me to do?" Spoke Kaiden with a serious expression, his own mother and Father died as a result of the Azure Emperor, so he is already seething in hatred for the man. But, he knew all he could do is play a minor role in his death as he knows that he will have to rely on Dana for this part, so he will fulfil whatever Dana wanted him to do.

"Leave the Azure Emperor to me, I just want you to gather all the noble families which are loyal to the Empire and will be good for this Kingdom. I have my own score to settle with the Azure Emperor, I just want you to gather information on any noble family which is still loyal to the Empire and not the Azure Emperor, I also want suitable candidates to take over when he is dealt with. I don't want to leave this place in complete chaos as a result of my reactions." Responded Dana.

After they continued discussing a few more things about the preparation of taking care of the Azure Emperor and the aftermath of it ended up with Kaiden readily agreeing with her plans.

As Dana and Kaiden decided to meet each other again within a month, they both went there separate ways. Dana decided to find old man Zhao to ask him for a location of a strong spirit beast in this continent with traces of a dragon bloodline, Dana had decided that she will upgrade her bloodline and also use it as an opportunity to strengthen her cultivation as well. As the Qi required for Dana to break through is enormous, she is desperate for a Houtian Ranked spirit beast core, which is already exceedingly rare in this continent.

As Dana found old man Zhao she shouted, "Hey old man have you got any time for your favourite disciple?"

Unsurprised of the antics of his disciple old man Zhao said, "What do you want this time, girl? Already finished with the boy you asked me about earlier?"

"Stop changing subject old man, I require your assistance on something, do you have knowledge on any spirit beasts at all with even the slightest trace of Dragon bloodline in this continent?", spoke Dana impatiently.

"Random question, but of course this old man has knowledge of a location of a nest of spirit beasts which contain a faint trace of Dragon bloodline. There's a group of Earth Wyrm's which are at the Sixth Houtian Cultivation rank, no ones been capable of dealing with them as they're very difficult to deal with underground in their own territory surrounded by Earth Qi, they also contain a very strong defence making them very hard to deal injuries against which is why they have been left alone." Calmly retorted old man Zhao.

The more old man Zhao talked about the Earth Wyrm's, the further Dana's excitement increased. Finally, a way to gain new bloodline skills! As the system stated that she can integrate any bloodline skills within her bloodline, the idea of having earth related Qi skills greatly pleased Dana.

"Old man Zhao, where is the location of these Wyrms?" Spoke Dana.

"You are not planning on fighting them, are you? Even this old man wouldn't fancy himself against them never mind you! I forbid you!" Worriedly exclaimed old man Zhao.

Realizing that she was slightly out of order, she didn't want to worry old man Zhao as she only demonstrated to him her strength at Qi Circulation Cultivation, which obviously would worry old man Zhao as it makes her look like she is going to her death. "Old man I'm sorry I hid this from you" As Dana finished speaking, her true cultivation emerged, astonishing old man Zhao before he regained his professionalism.

"You really hid deep girl. But, still, do you really believe your currently strong enough even now? I will tell you the location if you prove to me you have the strength to fight me." After he finished speaking old man Zhao launched a flurry of attacks expecting to defeat Dana easily and get rid of her foolish idea, however, he was unexpectantly disappointed as Dana easily countered him. After a few more dozens of exchanges, it was clear Dana was superior in strength out of the two.

"Is this enough for you old man?" Smiled Dana.

Grasping for breath old man Zhao said, "You really impress me, girl, the location is about a weeks travel west of the Capital, take this map it will help you get there." After handing over the map and discussing a few more things with old man Zhao, Dana immediately left the Capital towards the location of the Earth Wyrms!

As Old Man Zhao watched Dana's retreating back he thought, 'I guess you may have more hope in completing this old man's last wishes, after all'

Whilst thinking back to the strength Dana has shown lit a spark of hope within him that wasn’t present before, a hope in getting justice for the death of his former sect and master!
