Chapter 22: A Glimpse into the Zie Chi Nation
Denny Cing sat in Grand Elder Han's chamber, absorbing the knowledge that was being shared with him. The grand elder continued his explanation, delving into the complex political landscape of the Zie Chi Nation.
"Emperor Dean Zie," Grand Elder Han began, "is a man of many sons, but two daughters have captured his favor above all. The elder of the two is Meing Goku Zie, a woman who embodies beauty, strength, and an unyielding resolve. Her presence is as cold and formidable as a winter storm, and her martial prowess matches her charisma."
Denny could almost picture Meing Goku Zie in his mind, a powerful figure in her own right. His curiosity piqued, he listened attentively as Grand Elder Han continued.
"On the other hand," Grand Elder Han said with a softer tone, "there is Ru Chi Zie, the younger daughter, who possesses an entirely different charm. She is known for her sweetness, cuteness, and her affinity for peace and tranquility. A gentle spirit amidst the tempestuous waters of our nation."
Denny found himself intrigued by the diverse personalities within the imperial family. The contrast between the two daughters was striking.
Grand Elder Han's expression turned solemn as he delved into the might of the imperial family itself. "The imperial family is an imposing force in the Zie Chi Nation. They command over eight Star Realm warriors, a formidable group that includes Emperor Dean Zie himself. He stands at the peak of the Star Realm, on the verge of a breakthrough to the next level."
The weight of this revelation settled heavily on Denny's shoulders. The contrast between the power of the imperial family and that of the martial sects, including the Bull Fight Sect, became all too clear.
"In comparison," Grand Elder Han continued, "our martial sects, including the Bull Fight Sect, can boast of only four Star Realm warriors. At the helm of our sect, you'll find me, at level 3 Star Realm, which is the highest among the current sect leaders."
Denny considered the magnitude of the challenge that lay ahead for his sect and himself.
"The competition for resources and control," Grand Elder Han emphasized, "is a constant struggle among the sects. It's a dynamic, ever-shifting landscape where each sect seeks to secure its interests and gain advantages in the political power play of our nation."
As Denny pondered these revelations, he couldn't help but feel the weight of responsibility for his sect's future, which now seemed inextricably tied to the grand tapestry of the Zie Chi Nation's politics and martial power.
