565 The Sacred Heirloom
In General Poâs private residence. Elder Yi sat on the edge of the bed after checking General Poâs condition. The old man received a devastating attack that partially burned his back.
With the Generalâs combat skills he shouldnât have had any trouble with the small number of attacks but he lose his guard when something big and strong appeared all of sudden and send him and some of his men down, he even loses his men. Thatâs very unexpected.
Earlier, General Po was chased after the shadow that came out of his room at the same time the chaos occurred elsewhere around his private residence. Several people wearing black veils were shot scattered in all directions.
While Elder Yi chased after several people who had fled towards the other side, General Po chased after a small figure who he suspected was carrying something in his hand. From a box in his private room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As a result, the old general had to be blown away during an attack with a force he had never expected before making him seriously injured. The power even set part of the forest behind General Poâs residence on fire.
Elder Yi put some ointment on the wound which looks quite bad.
âOld general, you know that you are not young anymore, one-on-one combat is not a good idea. Look what happened to you now? And this burn is not an ordinary wound, I have never come across this kind of burn but it seems very difficult to be healed.â
General Po who was lying face down with his back on him couldnât help but grin.
âHey, this old body of mine is used to receiving any kind of attack, itâs not a big deal, Iâve been worse than this before,â said the old man trying to get up and sit up.
.....
âBut, what kind of weapon is so powerful, to make such a loud explosion? And, have you suspected anyone? It seems whoever it is he already knows where to get your stuff, and, what is that thing so important?â
General Po looked at Elder Yi for a moment, the old but young man should be someone he could trust.
âThat is the sacred weapon of the Wah Ye tribe, it has been in my residence for a long time but even I myself did not realize it. And now, it has reappeared with its power that can shake the martial world,â
Elder Yi widened his eyes. That wasnât the kind of thing he wanted to hear at the time, considering how powerful such a small thing was.
âA sacred weapon? That, which makes such a large area crumble in an instant?â Repeat.
General Po nodded.
He was just about to answer when he heard the doormanâs voice.
âHis Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!â cried the doorman.
Elder Yi and General Po turned their heads, the general was about to get up from his bed to greet them but Bai Ying had already approached him first.
âSincerely Your Majesty...â
âGrandpa, how are you? Why you are hurting like this?â asked Bai Ying who was worried about General Poâs condition and was having a hard time even sitting properly let alone saluting.
âYour Majesty the Viceroy, Iâm fine, itâs just a small woundâ
But Bai Ying didnât believe that. He had seen General Po with a face that was almost crying with anxiety.
âReally? How can it be fine, the wound looks so so bad severe like this, how can this be called a minor?â Bai Ying asked.
General Po smiled at Bai Ying who was so worried about him that his eyes were watering and almost crying.
âItâs really okay, Your Majesty, itâs just a common wound, Iâve been injured worse than this before, trust me itâs just a minor wound, Your Majesty thereâs no need to worry too muchâ
Bai Ying finally couldnât hold back his tears and crying.
âErm, Grandpaâ
Luo Xiang approached, he only raised his hand to allow General Po not to get off his bed, he was badly injured.
âGeneral Poâ
The old man lowered his head.
âYour Majesty, please forgive me for having lost the heirloom, I have been negligentâ
Luo Xiang put two hands behind his waist looking at General Po and Elder Yi who were standing not far from him.
âThe attack elsewhere was purposely for making all attention on it. And that person already knows where to look, apparently, they has studied the situation beforehand, itâs not your fault General Poâ
Bai Ying wiped his tears. He looked at General Po and saw the Crown Prince standing behind him.
âYour Majesty, what does that mean? What kind of heirloom is that? Is it so important to cause such a big mess?â Bai Ying asked.
Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying for a moment, then looked at General Po and Elder Yi. General Po lowered his head before answering.
âThat is the Sacred heirloom from the ancient Wah Ye, used to be my fatherâs mainstay weapon during the war against spirits, it hasnât been used for a long time since the country was buried, somehow that person manage to turn it on and use itâ
âThat because Chai Ni is a descendant of one of Wah Yeâs priestesses when Wah Ye was destroyed, the priestess took off her robes and saved herself. She was very young at the time of the incident but as a priestess, she was blessed with the ability to use sacred weapons against mystical creatures. Because of its attack power which is quite formidable and devastating, making it is less useful as a weapon of war. Is that right, General Po?â Luo Xiang asked.
General Po nodded.
âThatâs right Your Majestyâ
Hearing that Bai Ying widened his eyes.
âReally, Your Majesty? How can that be, itâs impossible, Your Majesty, eh, wasnât you said that Princess Chai Ni the niece of Her Majesty the Queen? How can she be a descendant of a priestess?â He asked scratching his head in confusion.
âThat, itâs a long story Ying, and it was Crown Prince Lo Yi alone who said itâ
âReally? That, very odd,â thought Bai Ying tilting his head in thought
âGeneral Po, you just have a rest now, let Bei take over the commander while youâre resting, after obtaining the weapon I donât know what Chai Ni will plan, according to Lo Yiâs estimation, itâs likely that his younger sister will attack the palace and overthrow the Emperor, and perhaps, great chaos will happen because of that womanâs innocent and stupidityâ
General Po looked at the Crown Prince for a moment. Although he actually couldnât just sit around doing nothing what the Crown Prince said was true. With his current condition, he is not fit to back on duty, and he will only become a burden. But this problem is not a small matter.
âYour Majesty, however, I need to find that sacred weapon back, its power is so great it can destroy anything, right now Princess Chai Ni may not know what kind of power she has is in her hands.â
Luo Xiang thought
âBut, right now we donât have a clue as to where Chai Ni is, itâs like looking for a needle in a haystack.â
General Po took a deep breath. He lowered his head.
âThatâs right Your Majesty, this is going to be very difficultâ
âDid they also take the box with them?â Luo Xiang asked
General Po looked at the table not far from his bed, behind the Crown Prince
âNo Your Majesty, the intruder just took the contents and left the box on the floor
Luo Xiang turned his body, looking at the box on the table behind him.
âThis?â
Bai Ying got up from his seat, taking a look at the medium-sized box that was carved quite beautifully
He had barely touched it when he suddenly felt something strange on him, for a moment his eyes flashed red with all eyes turning white. He saw something pop up on his head that was related to blood and bodies strewn everywhere, as far as he could see, as it was his own vision. The cry of a child to the woman weeping, a very sad feeling gets through his chest.
Luo Xiang who saw Bai Yingâs motionless reaction with a strange facial expression immediately pulled the young manâs hand from the item box.
âYing Ying, what happened?
Bai Ying is back to himself. His eyeballs returned to their original colour he looked at Luo Xiang with big eyes.
âY-Your Majesty, we must find her and stop Princess Chai Ni. Something bad will happenâ Bai Ying said gripping Luo Xiangâs hand tightly
Luo Xiang was worried, seeing Bai Yingâs sudden transformation made him afraid. He caressed the young manâs cheek trying to calm him down
âWhat are you looking at Ying? Is something bad going to happen?â
Bai Ying also didnât understand what he had seen, but it definitely made his heart beat quite fast, as if something bad was really about to happen.
