Luna and Sia have arrived outside the gate of the Vino capital after traveling few days ready to begins shopping. As the two approached the guards around the gate spot the Void Emperor sect symbol on their clothing filling them with smiles or pity. Even though the guards have different feeling they still follow their order which is to allow sect member to enter the city.
“Ten coppers per person,” The guard doing inspection says.
Sia reached into her storage ring and pulls out twenty copper coins as along their travel they made a small bet and she lost. After the guard collected the fees he allowed them to pass and travel a bit before he sends a message to the capture team.
After entering the capital, the two girls looked around hoping to find a nice restaurant to have a meal. But upon looking around they found most citizen and merchant keep their distances or closed up shop as they neared.
“Something feels off with them,” Luna said seeing a fat man hurrying to lock his shop and hang the closes sign as they neared his shop.
“Is it a problem with our clothing?” Sia thought looking at their outfits as she wore an emerald colored dress with the void emperor symbol on the shoulder. As for Luna, she wore the same design but fiery red dress making them look to have some nobility.
“There shouldn’t be but remember the rumor we heard during our travel,” Luna said.
“The one about how the capitals and few cities beginning to capture Sect members or the rising of four who call themselves ‘Heavenly Kings’” Sia said.
“The one about the capturing the sect member because groups of guards are heading our way from all direction,” Luna said as her hearing picked up the sound of armor clashing together.
“I don’t think we have to worry as I’m still a princess here,” Sia said with confidence.
“Will they even recognize you?” Luna questioned.
“Don’t worry and just watch,” Sia said pulling out a jade plate with the royal crest on it with special aura around it.
“They’re not going to call you an imposter and say something along the line that the princess died about a year ago or say you’re a traitor and load fake crime you committed?” Luna said as she been reading many fantasy books lately.
“You read too many books, they wouldn’t say these line as they would try to corner me with politics and then pin crime upon me then finally execute me,” Sia said.
“Why would they go through all that trouble if they just want to kill you?” Luna question as an assassin would do it at a much faster pace.
“It so they can justify it or sell me off as marriage pawn at later date,” Sia said with a slight shrug of her shoulder as if it didn’t include her.
“… Being in politic is hard,” Luna said.
“That why I want to become powerful that no one can decide my life for me,” Sia said.
The two kept talking like this as they wait for the guard to surround them. The guards had sword and spear drawn while a man with a sinister smile stood in front of them.
“You two are under arrest so surrender or Die,” He said sounding like he wants them to pick the second option.
“Go back to your posts,” Sia said holding up her jade which shocked most guards who began trembling from terror as pointing weapon at royal is a serious crime.
The man with the sinister smile looked calmly.
“Men grab the imposter as the real one died almost a year ago,” He said.
“He actually said it,” Luna said to Sia who trying to hold her laughter.
“I want to know what your name is,” Sia said.

“Well it doesn’t matter but I tell you it John Killwin,” He said.
“That John Killwin who legendary for your brutality,” Sia said in surprise.
“So you know who I am impressive,” John said.
“How could I not there a ten million gold bars on your head,” Sia said.
“Are you going to try and claim the bounty. I will tell you many have tried but here I am and they forgotten,” John said with a smile of the devil.
“Sia I think we should leave,” Luna said as she heard more guards heading this way and base on their cultivation she felt these were elite as they were almost golden core realm experts.
“It feels like a wasted trip but it seems it can’t be helped since even I’m apparently dead to the kingdom,” Sia said with a slight sigh as she couldn’t help it.
“Do you two think you can leave well think again,” John said holding up a talisman that seals the space around them,
“Are you planning on stopping us,” Luna said drawing her sword.
“You can’t possibly think you can win against hundreds of guards of xiantian and golden realm,” John said with the guards laughing.
“Ask that afterward, that is if you’re still breathing,” Sia said.
“They are resisting, kill them,” John shouted to the guards who started closing in on them.
Sia brought out her spear and rapidly stabbing outward either kill or forcing the incoming guards to fly backward. More guards kept piling up as their hearts or throat were punctured by her spear. After about twenty guards they back up as she looked like a demon covered in blood and bodies laying around.
Luna who was watching her back was smiling while she was cutting the limbs and hands of the guards as they closed in but yet to kill a single one. The guards also back away from her as she kept them alive but basically gave them a life of a crippled. If one of the guards tried to rejoin the fight she would cut the tendons of their leg making it almost impossible for them to stand.
John who was standing back and watching this was smiling with great joy as he enjoys their faces even if it his own guards who were either dead or wishing to be. He kept close eyes on these two girls in order for them not escape but also how they fall from their pride when he captures them.
“Sia that pervert looking at us weirdly,” Luna said as she saw the weird smile of John.
“He is considered to be mentally insane even by demon’s standards,” Sia said.
“That is impressive in some sort of way,” Luna said.
One of the guard’s seen a chance and ran toward the center hoping to wounded them but fate had other plans for him. Luna who made the open on purpose quickly swung her sword that the guards barely saw it before she retracted it. John who what her sword was impressed as the sword chopped off the guard hand and feet while also cutting all his tendons while the guard didn’t feel a thing until she was done.
“Ahhh,” the poor guard screamed.
“She must be a demon,” one of the guards said looking at all the wounded guard whose life is going to be worst then if they died.
“I don’t want to face her,” another said.
“What are these cultivation level really at their no way they are peak xiantian realm,” the guards nodded to this comment.
As the guards moved back the archer arrived on top of a nearby building ready to shoot anytime. Seeing that the archer is in position John signal them to fire at will causing them to draw back their bows. Arrows began to rain down on them causing the two to frown.
“Guessing we need to plow through them to escape,” Luna said.
“Yeah, any more then this and we might actually get caught,” Sia said.
“So how you want to do it,” Luna asked.
“I haven’t let ouroboros exercise in a while and now seem the perfect time for it,” Sia said as she summoned her beast companion who grew bigger.
“What is that,” Guards screamed.
“Runaway,” other shouted causing the guards to scatter.
“Enjoy,” Sia said and the snake started eating the guards as they ran about.
Looking over Luna saw John standing there calmly which put her on edge. Seeing that John remain the same gave Sia a bad feeling.
“That an interesting technique you got there none the less your going to die,” John said drawing his sword.
“Any final words,” He said coldly.
“Yes, die,” Luna said swinging her sword covered in flames.
“Impressive but sadly you still young,” John said easy blocking the shot with ease.
“He already in the origin realm we not his match,” Sia said.
“You're really informed but too bad it won’t help you survive,” John said as he put pressure on them causing their bones to crunch under the pressure.
“It hurts,” Luna screamed.
“Hold on we will get through it somehow,” Sia said as sweat poured down from the pressure.
“Let’s see what happen when I turn up the pressure,” John said.
The pressure gradually increased causing Sia and Luna to knell on the ground as they can’t withstand the pressure.
“Is this the end for me,” Sia thought.
“Sorry Lucifer it seems I’m not going to be here anymore,” Luna thought as she closed her eyes.
-Bang
The pressure instantly disappeared causing the two to look up and saw Old Vin standing in front of them. John who almost killed them was laying on the ground with a pale face and blood trickling out of his mouth.
“Old man why did you interfer,” John said.
“Because you almost cause you entire capital to disappear without a single survivor,” Old Vin said coldly.
“So what if I kill them, Can you face up against the entire army,” John said with a small laugh.
“It not me who would have done it but a much more terrifying being would,” Old Vin said before collecting the two and vanishing.
“The only thing that the kingdom fear is an immortal but why would they come to this place. It must be a bluff,” John said as he threw to back of his mind.
