"Nurarihyon-sama, we will now go to New Moon City." Gyuki informed Hannya about their departure.

"Yes, I will see you guys out." Hannya took out dark blue cloak and put it on his shoulders, when he got out of the mansion he saw Rihan ran towards him.

"Don't embarass the name of our clan in the tournament, I'll be watching you." Hannya ruffled Rihan's hair making the latter smile and with great determination he nodded. Hannya simply couldn't help but become amused. 'His day form is simply adorable'.

"Rihan, be sure to take a good care of yourself okay? Just let me know if someone tries to bully you and I will take care them." Setsura said while smiling but the ominous and cold aura emitting from her is totally scary that if there's really someone who tries bullying 'her' child she would freeze them to death.

"Oyaji, Nee-san, we'll be going now." Rihan felt a cold sweat slid down behind his back. He said his goodbyes and ran back towards Gyuki and others. Hannya simply nodded and waved his hands. "Ddraig, make sure nothing bad happens to Rihan while you guys are in the New Moon City." Setsura on the other side felt a bit sad that Rihan still addressed her as Nee-san.

"Yes, Nurarihyon-sama." Ddraig who's currently in his human form acknowledge his mission and followed the group.

Hannya then turned his attention to Karasu Tengu, who was also in his human form together with his wife who was currently wearing her veil. Since they plan to find traces of the hidden enemies they need to keep a low-profile and Nuregarasu, who had an outstanding beauty even in her human form needs to wear a veil to avoid any troubles.

"Karasu-tengu, if you got some news about 'them' let me know."

Karasu Tengu bowed and accepted his mission, together with his wife they also left the mansion but instead of going together with Rihan's group they separated themselves to stay hidden.

Hannya then looked at the remaining inhabitants of the house. Aside from the low-level yokai's that could only stay hidden in the headquarters, there's only Setsura, Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingyi, with a nervous tone the latter spoke to Hannya: "Umm, what are we supposed to do now?"

"Hmmm, for now you can just stay in the mansion." He glanced at Xiao Lie who stood beside Xiao Ling Yi and asked "You have some experience in management, right?" The old man nodded which made Hannya satisfied and gave him the role to manage the clan for the meantime.

"Setsura, It's about time for us to depart."

...

Blue Wind Empire is one of the seven nations of the Profound Sky Continent.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Historically it has been the weakest nation; it is remote, has few resources and the peak strength of cultivators is the middle of Emperor Profound Realm. The nation regularly hosts the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament and they also participate in the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament where they are regularly ridiculed by the other nations for their lack of talent.

The Empire has 4 Major Powers namely the Heavenly Sword Villa, Frozen Cloud Asgard, Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan.

After travelling for a few days, they finally arrived in a place filled with snow. If they were travelling by foot it would have taken a long time but with the Floating Technique, the journey was only a short time.

This place is called the Snow Region of Extreme Ice also called the Snow Region, This is a place in the Blue Wind Empire where Frozen Cloud Asgard is located as the extreme cold and snow helps them cultivate their Profound Arts.

Hannya planned for Setsura to become a disciple of this Major Power. Once she learned the profound techniques and Profound Arts, Setsura would definitely become even stronger which is good for the clan.

Hannya looked at Setsura who was staring at him, her crimson eyes harbored deep affection and sadness because of their separation.

She didn't say anything but there's a crystal clear moist at the edge of her eyes, she was holding back her urge to cry. Hannya is not dense, he totally know how Setsura feels.

"I'm going now, please take care of yourself Nurarihyon-sama, I will definitely return to your side as soon as possible." Setsura turned around but was stopped by the hands holding her waist. Finally, Drops of tears fell from her eyes. She could no longer hold herself back and turned around to embrace Hannya. She could feel his breath and warmth, she doesn't want to let go. She murmured in his ears: "I've been waiting for this, I waited for a long long long time now."

Her words tugged a string in Hannya's chest, his embrace became tighter. He whispered in her ears: "Setsura, be with me since I'll become a ruler of this world I need you by my side."

Setsura's face turned completely red, her face heated up. She was speechless by his blunt proposal. Could it be a dream? Is this real? If it's a dream I don't want to wake up anymore.

They stayed in that position for a long while unti Hannya loosened his embrace and stared at Setsura, her loyalty, personality and beauty is simply on a high level. He couldn't let a girl like this keep on waiting just because his afraid of his identity, but when he and Nurarihyon fused he no longer feared anything, it's just that he was simply occupied with so many things that he neglected her for awhile.

"Setsura, become strong and aim for the top. Become strong and help me protect the clan for eternity."

Setsura nodded with great determined look shining in her eyes.

I will definitely become strong enough to stand by your side and help you achieve your rightful throne in this world. In a while Setsura said her goodbye and dissappear into snow flakes flying along with the wind.

Hannya stayed their for awhile.

"Now, it wouldn't be cool if my subordinates become strong while I remain weak. It's time to build up my strength."

His figure vanished only leaving a black smoke in his wake.

Hannya is now on his way to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range where the Phoenix clan and the place where the Phoenix Legacy can be found.

Such a treasure can't be left alone hidden in the shadows.

A huge smile appeared in his face while travelling. It's been awhile since he awakened his eye yet he still hasn't explored it's capabilities.

I need to understand it's ability more and the only way to do that is to use it often so I can experiment.
