Within the universe there were many realms. The Mortal World was one of the realms where the highest cultivation level was Celestial Immortal. This realm was divided into five parts, there was the Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern and then finally the Central Continent. In terms of power the Central Continent was ranked first followed by the Northern Continent. The least powerful was the Southern Continent. The Southern Continent was ruled by a force called the Xia Dynasty. A years ago, a man called Lin Fu suddenly appeared with nine other youths. These nine youths formed the Nine Ancient Families in the Xia Dynasty.
Lin Fu was a handsome middle aged man with long blue hair that compliment his blue eyes. If not for his voice people would have mistaken him for a woman. The Southern Continent produced most Yuan stones and the most rare Mystical blood steel which was used by most blacksmith as it was the most strong metal found in the Mortal Realm. The Eastern Continent which was more powerful than the Southern Continent was very greedy that it started to eye for these resources. The Wulong Dynasty was very impatient that it started to sent experts to the Xia Dynasty.
"Supreme Elder Shia His Majesty request your presence." said a servant in green robes
"Hmm." an elderly man gently nodded and the servant excused it self.
The elder then proceeded to the Palace Hall. Inside the hall sat a man in gold robes on a golden throne.
"Your Majesty" the Elder performed a bow to show respect.
" Brother Shia there is no need for that, you should know that by now" Emperor Wulong smiled
"As a subordinate I should do so, otherwise I won't feel comfortable " replied Elder Shia
"Aai" sighed the Emperor" anyway let me tell you the reason why I summoned you " he continued
"It must be a serious matter for you to summon me, Your Majesty "said Elder Shia
"Indeed it is. The Xia Dynasty has been developing very fast for the past few years due to the resources they have been supplying to other Continents. We cannot allow it to continue so I want you to go there and sign a deal of 90 as to 10 with them. Obviously 90% shares belongs to us." the Emperor patiently explained
"You finally asked, I thought you were never gonna ask " the Elder smiled sinisterly
"You can depart anytime you want "
"I shall excuse myself " the Elder retreated.
The Xia Dynasty continued their lives without knowing that a knife was looming over their heads. A week after Elder Shia's conversation with the Emperor the barrier protecting the Southern Continent revealed a crack that allowed a single person to fit. Elder Shia walked out of the crack and teleported. When he appeared again he was above the Xia Palace. The butler of the Palace saw him and welcomed him inside.
" An evoy of the Wulong Dynasty request an audience with the Emperor" the butler called out
"You can enter" a majestic voice boomed from the Palace Hall
Tha elder flashed and entered the Palace
