BOOM
A loud thunderous explosion resounded through the void. The Universe World was blown to tiny bits. Barely larger than the size of a fist. Where there had been a Universe World, while dead and devoid of all life, had been totally destroyed by the impact.
Everyone, save for 6 others, had their jaws nearly hit the floor. "Wait! Are you telling me that you used the same amount of energy to create both attacks? That can't be right!" The Ancient Dragon yelled in pure shock, losing any sense of snooty behavior.
"It is right, Rather, he used slightly less power on the second attack. Though you couldn't tell because of the lack of fluctuations, I could see through the disguise." Sun's Burning Shine quickly stated after, giving the Dragon a glare.
"If senior brother Huang says so then, I should have to believe it. Forgive my outburst, I was merely so shocked I couldn't contain myself." The Ancient Dragon said, nervously recoiling from the shiver that went through his spine as a result of the glare.
"It's alright, the level of control I have is a necessity, so I don't expect someone else to understand it. However, consider this, I am just a mix of Dragon and Phoenix. If I require this much control, just how much will brother Huang and Sister Lan need? It's no wonder they have accidentally killed and destroyed so much. And without a proper master to instruct them, they can't really be blamed for it either." I explained, diffusing the tense situation.
"Son, if you were to fight the version of yourself from the battlefield, the time of our expedition, how would you compare?" Yang Kai asked.
This question shocked everyone present. If anyone other than I, knew of how strong I truly was now, it would have been Yang Kai. Yet here Yang Kai is, just blurting out a question like that.
"Father, if you asked me to give an answer, I couldn't give an accurate one. Remember, I have become a Great Emperor, and have now refined 2 9th rank materials. These are not small improvements in the slightest. But it would be safe to say, I doubt a Feudal Lord poses any real threat to me so long as 10 or less come at me at once." I explained, purposely giving a seemingly ridiculous answer for the sake of making others not believe it outright.
"I see, then, we should return and talk. You have responsibilities. I must see to it that you marry several more suitable young ladies." Yang Kai said, as if it was a matter of fact. "Starting with..." He began.
"Sorry, father, but the whole proposal of marriage, given the individual in question, I think it's best you take responsibility. After all, you have already kissed her, you can't expect me to marry someone who should be my mother." I interrupted.
"Oh! So you kissed Zhang Ruo Xi, why have we never heard about this?" Yu Ru Meng said, flashing her eyes at Yang Kai.
"Husband, it's rude to take a woman's first and then ignore her just like that." Xia Ning Chang said, in her sweet innocent voice.
"On that note, I believe mother Xia is right. My father should accept all the women, who's firsts that he claimed." I smirked with a light chuckle.
"I agree, it would certainly teach Yang Kai some self control." Su Yan smiled, hiding an eerie attitude. One that all of Yang Kai's wives wore.
"Seems like senior brother isn't the only one that needs to learn control." Moon's Nether Glimmer laughed cheerfully.
"Shut up, let's go start practicing our control. After seeing what junior brother Leiji just did... It's not out of the question for us to destroy Ink on our own." Sun's Burning Shine retorted, pulling on his sister's ear a little.
"But we won't be alone! Isn't junior sister Ruo Xi staying to train with us too?" Moon's Nether Glimmer asked frantically waving her arms about to free her ear, and then pouted, rubbing it gently.
"Oh, that's right, wait, that doesn't matter! Junior sister Ruo Xi won't be fighting Ink with us. At least, that's not the plan for now." Sun's Burning Shine retorted, pausing to think about it.
"Listen, it's for the best to have a detailed plan of attack when it comes to war. That said, it is also important to remain flexible. So keep the plan for the two of you to confront Ink. Worst case scenario... No, never mind about that, I shouldn't talk about that thing." I said, covering my mouth with a loose fist. "In any case, we should get going now, there are many things to prepare and I have quite a bit of work left to do. Not only that, but our presence here will only get in the way of senior brother Huang and senior sister Lan's control training." I added, changing the subject.
"That's correct, and we must return to the No-Return Pass. We have a duty to uphold now. And I won't be letting my son-in-law down." My Phoenix mother in-law said, determined.
With everything that needed to be done, done. Everyone that had gone on this trip to see the twins, left, well, that is aside from one other person. It was Zhan Ruo Xi, she opted to stay behind and learn what her new path was going to be like from here on. She was also quite intrigued by something, As there had been a slight movement within her, something that began pulsing to life once again, this pulsing had begun once the Territory had been bathed in the brilliant light from before.
"Leiji, are you sure it's okay to leave her here?" Yang Kai nervously asked.
"It is, I already gave her a storage ring filled to the brim with the 5 elements resources. She should be fine for quite some time. Besides, this way makes it easier on you, father, at least for the time being that is." I said. "Now, about Lady Lan Xun, She is of your generation, father. But Uncle Brightmoon had entrusted her to your care. It will be up to you to decide how to handle what happens once you get back. Will you interpret caring for her as a woman, or as a daughter. You already know what I think about this, but it is ultimately your decision." I added, changing the topic of thought.
