Inside the underground cave Elder Zhang is covering his body over the small petit Tu Tsuki who was covered in apale light.
'What was that intense mana fluctuation.' Thought Tu Zhang his old haggard face seemed like he just lost his wife.
"Uncle Zhang When can we go home; I'm scared" Tu tsuki said as tears streans from her big eyes.
"Uncle Zhang will try his best little ki" he said with a hint of worry in his voice.
Tu Zhang cautiously looked around and what he saw astonished him he saw was the squad of Shen clansmen on the floor passed out or lifeless, without a slight mana fluctuation from them. The only one among them that had a slight mana fluctuation was Shen Tanfeng, but when Tu Zhang saw this scene he didn’t care why they didn’t have any mana fluctuation he quickly grabbed Tu tsukis hand and lifted her up and started retreating.
Then he realized something Shen Tanfeng was awake and it seems like he was struggling but could not move or talk when Tu Zhang saw this a light smile appeared on his face. To others this smile looked normal but to the semi-conscious Shen Tanfeng this was the most evil thing he has ever seen.

Soon Tu Zhang appeared in front of Shen Tanfeng, he didn’t say anything he just simply took out a dagger and stopped two inches from Shen Tanfeng. Tu Zhang then looked around at Tu Tsuki and said "Tsuki turn around and cover your ears no matter what do not turn around “.
When Tu Tsuki heard this she nodded her head and did as she was told.
When Tu Zhang saw that Tu tsuki was doing what he said thick killing intent came from his body he quickly slashed down the dagger into Shen Tanfeng heart.

After stabbing him and making sure he was dead Tu Zhang had a sigh of relief.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
He was slightly surprised though because after someone completed the first stage in cultivation the elemental body realm your bodies cells and tissue will be filled with mana to the point that your flesh becomes a mana armor itself that cannot be easily injured by normal weapons and attacks without mana.
Tu Zhang then shook his head he decided not to think about it too much. He then looked around and when he saw the sixty defenseless mages of the Shen clan around a cold smile crept unto his face.

Ten minutes later he then walked up to Tu tsuki then stretched his hand and gently touched her shoulder.
"Come tsuki time to go".
"Uncle Zhang what's that over there" said Tu Zhang as she pointed.
But when Tu Zhang saw where she pointed he was astonished, where Tu tsuki pointed was where the gigantic crystal was but now the only thing there was a pile of crystal dust and over it was a ball of light that seemed to have something in it. on further look it was a shadow of a baby.
When Tu Zhang saw this he was dumbstruck, 'what the hell is that baby' he thought he was getting ready to leave with Tu tsuki when he heard it.
eyahhh ... ahhh
It was crying. Impossible thought Tu Zhang.
As he was about to turn around again he saw Tu tsuki staring at him with her round eyes. That seem to be saying please dont leave it alone.
When he saw this his conscience also began to chime in.
What will it eat if I leave it?
I can't just leave it here.
Even though it was in that strange crystal, it might not be dangerous.
After all this is a world of magic almost anything is possible.
With these thoughts in mind Tu Zhang slowly moved towards the child he then muttered " kid if that ball of light around you even causes my hands to itch I will leave you here". He then stretched out his hand under the ball of light carefully getting into a holding position but as his hand stretched under the ball of light properly the light quickly dissipated and the baby dropped from it.
Tu Zhang quickly caught the baby.
The babies face was plump and he had white hair that was soft to the touch, an azure blanket was wrapped around him obscuring its private part Tu Zhang quickly noticed it was a boy.
Tu Zhang slowly started walking towards Tu tsuki with a light smile on his face.
"Uncle Zhang what do we do with him , or should we keep him?" Tu tsuki said. Even though Tu tsuki was just three years old she was very smart for her age and very good at studying thats why she was the pride of the Tu clan because everyone felt that she would amount to something big in the magic world giving rise to their clan.
Tu Zhang thought for a moment before nodding in affirmation, how could he say no he could already tell that this little niece of him was already attached to the child.
" What should we name him?" Tu tsuki asked with a face full of excitement.
"He already has a name" Tu Zhang said
Seeing Tu tsuki watch him with a confused look he pointed at the babys wrist on it there was a bracelet with the name Ryu Shura. What was strange is that the name was moving in a circular motion, sometimes with Ryu in front sometimes with Shura infront of it.
" Ryu Shura...Shura Ryu......I think we should call him Shura " .
Seeing that this niece of his wasn't going to stop talking Tu Zhang waved his hand and said "We should start going back to the clan now ".
