Stepping on the sleeping dragons tail

Stepping on the sleeping dragons tail

Looking at the figure that appeared, another round of commotion broke out in the hall, both Cai Yueyao and Xuan Yu felt relieved. It was like they're knight and shinning armor has arrived to save the day.

"Big brother you came" Cai Yueyao said with a huge grin plastered on her face, she was extremly glad that her beloved older brother showed up.

Since youg she was the little princess of her family, like Xuan Yi she was also spoilled but unlike him, she developed a playfull style of comportment.

she enjoyed playing tricks and pranks on people, it's all good and fun but they are always a limit to all things, and that is what she doesn't understand and what her family failed to correct.

Due to her fathers high political position, most poeple turned a blind eye to her antics, with her overly protective brother other people couldn't nor had the guts to do anything to her.

The blue-clothed youth with a handsome appearance and a graceful bearing he was currently coming towards them, and he was bringing along a few young men.

As he walked forward a round of discussion broke out once more

"Well looks like Cai Yueyan is going to go crazy again"

"Hey now this is interesting that sister lover will be making a move?"

"Oy Oy that youth is seriously f**cked now"

"He can only blame himself for his predicament"

"well let's just wait and see but i don't think things will be simple beside there is still that old man"

"What old man? that guy probably have a foot in the grave already"

Standing in front of Long Ye with his saber in hand Cai Yueyan glares at Long Ye who was standing like nothing that was going on mattered to him still he wore his usual indifferent look on his face.

"Boy today i will show you the consequences of anraging me and most importantly of daring to lay a finger on my sister. You will die like the lowly dog"

Looking at Cai Yueyan and his arrogant antics, Long Ye broke into a smile and began laughing out loud soon after, an action that baffled everybody present.

"Hahahaha oh man funny really funny, a mere second rank Mortal Profound dare bark at i Long Ye, HA ridiculous. Seriously you guys are like cockroaches you squash one three more pops out. Very well it seem like everyone here has a death wish..."

Soon Long Ye turned serious, a thick and dense murderous intent and overly dense Qi rose from him, it was twice no three times as much as last time. everyone was shocked.

The pressure of his killing intent mixed with overwhealming Qi was so great that those sitting close to him were on the floor trying to fight against the sudden pressure.

Even the guards behind Cai Yueyan were affected by this pressure, with the strongest one of them using only able stay on both knees and resisting the pressure.

Maybe due to his rank, Cai Yueyan only managed to stay on one knee but beads of sweat covered his forehead. He was desperately gasping for air, his hair was deshriveled, he looked and sounded like a 'princess' who received her sixth customer in a row without a break.

Those weaker mercenaries and even the gracefull Cai Yueyao and the arrogant Xuan Yun were plastered to the ground and looked to be in severe pain.

"St...stop...Pl-ease"

A week and feeble voice was soon hear by Long Ye and he soon stopped his display of power, turning his head he saw the manager/owner standing behind the counter.

Unlike the others able to keep standing, but with great difficulty, he felt like a great an invisble force was pushing down and forcing him to acknowledge his ruler.

"Sorry about that sir, i kind of got carried away"

Long Ye actually felt bad, not for his actions against those arrogant bastards but for affecting this old man, even though he never knew his grandparents, one of his martial arts trainer was an old chinese man and he treated hi like a himan being.

So in way Long Ye always respected senior citizens. Looking at this kids reaction and demeanor old man Su shook his head, and sighing in his heart after recovering slightly.

unlike those present he was considered a powerhouse equal to the governor. He had seen many so called geniuses and those once in a life time geniuses too but a thirteen year old boy at the fourth level of Earth profound realm was unheard off what troubled him was which family produced such a monster.

Old Su Haoran was a former deputy general back in his days, he was known as the passive roaring bear, he had enough merit to rise to the ranks of general but he refused several promotions.

He was widely known as caring and eccentric person, he was raised by his grandparents hence adopted their action and habits, this earned him the nickname old man Su by his men at the age of thirty years old.

Su Haoran who is loyal to both his men and enemies, even in death he would honor them, once such instance was the battle of Koku You where his army battled against the Sky Eagle nation.

The battle was long and bloody, it lasted twenty-three days in total, but despite that he's army came out victorious. The enemy army lost over twenty-thousand men, and he lost a measly five thousand.

Yet after the war he sent people to collect the dead of both allies and foes alike, the bodies were placed in wood coffins, covered with the sky eagle nations flag and where all placed at the border.

When the border soldiers of the Sky eagle nation spotted this , they thought they were under enemy attack but when they arrived, they witness all soldiers standing at full military salute and sending off the dead enemies.

He became famous, at one point he breifly became the current king's warfare instructor when the king was a teenager, but due to an argument with a newly apointed young general, who foolishly and stupidly rushed into the enemy ambush, and caused the death of over ten-thousand-man he was stripped of his position and given an dishonorable discharge.

But all that was not enough, a dishonorable general is either executed or forced to drink 'Origin breaking pill'. That pill's main function is to knock ones cultivation level up seal it at that specific level, another side effects was that any child born from someone who consumed this pill would have his cultivation crippled from birth.

Old man Su who was at that time a level five Spirit Profound realm culitvator had all his years of hard work sealled at the third level of the Earth Profound realm. 

That young general Zhao Zhuang, was the son of the former prime minister Zhao Kuo. Using his fathers influence and the fact that his elder sister was the king's favorite concubine he had old man Su punished, but karma is a bitch, the following month Zhao Zhuang died in battled against the sky eagle nation.

He lost over four-hundred-thousand soldiers, and he was caught and killed during his attempt to flee the battlefield, enrage by these action the king ordered the complete execution of the zhao family.

After this debacle the king  personaly came to apologize to old man Su and ask him to once again become a general, but old man Su said no.

He sold his property and other valuebles, and on the dead of night moved his entire family out of the empirial city. This did not go unnoticed, upon arrival at the city gates he was greeted once again by the king.

The king asked him if he could reconsider his decision but old man Su told him

"The bird has fallen to the bow, and the rabbit has fallen to the hunting dog since ancient times. An extremely loyal general, and his services have always been highly appreciated by their entire country. However, a highly admirable war general’s fate has always been very tragic. If he doesn’t die on the battlefield. He is beheaded and his property is confiscated. One can shake the gods if they fly too high."

The king looked as if he aged a decade after hearing these lines, for the sake of pleasing a woman, he lost his most loyal and brave general. That made him really doubt his abilities as a leader and as a man.

Before dissapearing in the shadows old man Su said his final words.

"I could bear the sealing of my cultivation, but what i cannot stand is the future of my unborn child that had been robbed before he could even take his first breath. As a father the most regretable choice i made in my life was joining the military."

According to the chronicles that were discovered in the imperial study some fifty years later, it said that the king cried tears of blood that night in regret to his actions.

And on his knees he made a promised to the gods that if not he, then his descendants would spend they're lives trying to right the worngs they've done to the Su family, no to old man Su himslef.

Shaking his head again he waved his hands at Long Ye and said

"It's alright i guess, besides it wasn't you who started this farce anyways, what's your next move? i don't think anybody here is in any shape to continue."

looking back on the damage caused by him Long Ye shrugged his shoulder and with a smile on his face walked out of the hall back up the stairs towards his room without a care in the world.

Dumbfounded by this young lads action, old man Su started laughing and shaking his head. He hated to admit it but this kid reminded him of himslef in his younger days.

Suddenly voices could be heard as the pile of bodies on the floor began to regain their consciousness, but all of them were still shaken by heart gripping fear.

the Cai siblings and Xuan Yuan were the most shaken out of the group, simply because they were the main reason why all this mess started, and now, now they had witnessed the strenght of the man they antagonized.

"Congradulations, you guys have kicked an incredibly tought stell plate, no sorry you guys have stepped on a dragons tail is more accurate"

With a sneer on his face old man Su looked at the Cai siblings in contempt evident in his eyes. As for Xuan Yuan he paid him no mind at all, like as if he was invisible.

"Old man Su....Wha..what was that?"

With great difficulty Cai Yueyan asked, even though he was recovering his bearings, his breath was still ragged, and the sheer fear that gripped his soul told him how close he was to the yellow river.

"Ha what was that? kid that was a level four Earth profound realm cultivator with years of life and death battles releasing his strengh and killing intent"

Old man Su replied with a grin on his face, as if he was enjoying their pain, or is it because he was going to enjoy their reaction after hearing the truth and the strengh of that boy.

There was a moment of deep and uncomfortable silence before every soul in the hall went absolutely ape s**t. a Earth profound realm cultivator? at that age? what is a Earth profound realm so that a child could reach it that easily?

"What an Earth profound realm..!?"

Cai Yueyao was speechless, she was doomed, she knew it. She dared pissed of a child who's cultivation was not only higher than hers, but one with a mystirious background, one whose background was no doubt higher that her's.

Cai Yueyan was also speechless, he was regreting his arrogance earlier, thinking back when the boy told him he was the equivalent of a cockroach...he was right.

"Well he went back upstairs without killing you lot, well it might out of respect for me, but i suggest y'all put on ya best asskissing on full display and maybe just maybe your heads won;t be lopped off...i guess"

Old man Su was seriously enjoying the look on the faces of those two siblings, these days have been incredibly boring, a few years ago his son left with his mother to go visit her ancestral home, her family were known alchemists, he agreed to let them go in hope of curing his one and only child.

He's son Su Hong turned fifteen this year, and it is his only change of awakening his martial spirit and travel the path of martial arts, in this world the strong dominate the weak.

Strenght and wealth are the only key to a decent life, no woman would want a weak and poor man, on the same page wealth without strenght is nothing.

Old man Su had wealth and strenght, even if his cultivation was sealed at the Earth profound realm, he was still considered and expert since he was after all earth profound realm.

But when he died leaving his wealth to his son who was not a cultivator would only paint a target on his back, after all once sharks smell blood i n the water they attack.

So a weakling who has a lot of money would be an easy target, no matter who his father is, thinking of his problems he sighed and said at the crowd who were busy discussing the events that just unravelled.

"Alright guys beat, it im closing up shop, also may this be a lesson to you all, never judge a book by it's cover"
