The Revelation and The Call to Arms

  Master Shen Jichuan spoke to Mo Yan in a deep, intense voice, revealing that he had traveled to the Upper Realms quite often. In fact, King Dao Shuling used to trade with the Ming Jing Men Sect. As for Lin Chaoyuan, the stench of his betrayal had reached even here. Twenty years ago, when the Crack of the Black Heaven opened in the sky, everyone who witnessed that terrifying spectacle was shocked, but they could do nothing. Some time later, they received news of the downfall of King Dao Shuling and his sect. But Lin Chaoyuan not only cast an evil eye there but also unleashed chaos here. He had repeatedly sent his soldiers and army to try and bring them under his rule, but he failed. Shen Jichuan knew well what a great traitor Lin Chaoyuan was.

  Then, Shen Jichuan assured Mo Yan:

  "Look, Mo Yan, if you wish for us to help you, you must give us complete information about what happened and what is currently taking place there, so that we may proceed with full preparation."

  Hearing this, Mo Yan had to tell him everything. Before speaking, he paused for a moment, thinking about Yu Sui, then about the three Masters. But when the thought of Yu Sui came, his eyes became slightly moist. He took a long breath and began to recount everything: the ritual deception, Queen Guzuie's sacrifice, the Su Tao Jue Spell Seal, the sacrifice of Kin Lishuan, Master Chui Yong, and Master Fung Shu Ri, the curse placed upon Yu Sui, the assassination of King Dao Shuling, and finally, he declared: "Yu Sui is the son of Princess Wan Yi, and I am the son of Queen Guzuie."

  A heavy silence fell. Every ear that heard the story, and those final words, stood stunned, whispering amongst themselves that the King's own son was still alive, and in such circumstances. The most intense emotional state was that of Shen Jichuan. On one hand, he was extremely happy that both princes were alive and safe, but the devastation caused by Lin Chaoyuan pierced his heart like a double-edged sword. On one side, Shen Jichuan and everyone else stood with eyes wet from grief, and on the other, from joy.

  Just then, Shen Jichuan stood up, with Mo Yan rising behind him. In a roaring voice, he declared that they must prepare immediately to attack the Upper Realms and strike against Lin Chaoyuan. Hearing this, everyone was filled with enthusiasm. Shen Jichuan began to lead Mo Yan with him towards the High Academy. Everyone else followed them out of the eatery.

  In an instant, the news spread throughout the entire Ming Jing Men Sect like wildfire: the true princes had returned. And if anyone was the happiest because of this news, it was Su Nian, whose dream could now finally come true. He stood in the crowd, smiling broadly. Just then, Bao Fang and Yun Zhi approached him. Seeing him smile so much, they asked:

  "Su Nian, what's wrong, brother? You look very happy today. Are you this thrilled about the Prince's arrival?"

  Su Nian then scolded them:

  "It's not that! I am happy that the Prince has been found, but I am happy because the application I submitted four years ago to become the Emperor's disciple can finally be fulfilled! Perhaps the Sect Leader will start the classes now!"

  Bao Fang and Yun Zhi looked at each other, then asked in unison:

  "Which classes?"

  Hearing this, Su Nian simply smiled, said, "I don't know," and walked away, leaving the two boys scratching their heads in confusion.
