He twirled the sword on his hand against Xiao Tianyao's sword and forced him to drop it. Xiao Tianyao who didn't familiar with this kind of movement used his scabbard to push him away. However Gong Xu ducked it and swiped his feet towards Xiao Tianyao's thigh.

The glimmered on the tip of Gong Xu's shoes warned Xiao Tianyao if this young man hide a blade on it. On the verge of being cut, he jumped away backward as a result the blade on Gong Xu's shoes only brushed his clothes.

Gong Xu stood up on his stance, ready for another battle, yet the sound of Modama's body hit the ground made him turned his attention to him.

Not too far away from him, Modama has slumped to the ground with blood all over his body. "Father!" Gong Xu screamed in terror by looking his father critical condition.

He ran toward him, at the same time Xiao Tianyao also dashed to their direction to make an advance move. When he was about to reach Gong Xu and Modama, out of the blue, five people surrounded him and attacked him in the same time.

Xiao Tianyao furrowed his brows when he watched Gong Xu carried his father away. He could give a chase, but if he left Qi Xunyi and his mother, in Qi Xunyi condition now both of them would be death for sure.

In annoyance, Xiao Tianyao regarded the five people who were attacking him with a pathetic death. Yet, when he finished them off, Gong Xu and Modama were nowhere to be found.

Xiao Tianyao sheathed his sword and balled his fist as he walked toward Qi Xunyi, he snatched an outer robe from the dead body of the Emperor and pressed it against his wounded shoulder.

"Press it." He commanded succinctly.

Qi Xunyi's face was already ghastly pale in that time, his breath has shortened. The last thing that he remembered was Xiao Tianyao called out his name before the darkness engulfed his vision and blackness came.

Inside the bright room where all the candles were lit up, on the splendid bed, an old man with white hair was laid down weakly. However his eyes show menace to the young man in front of him.

"I told you to finish them off! All of them!!" Modama roared at Gong Xu.

The young man knelt on the ground and shivered by his father's wrath, didn't dare even to breath loudly.

At that time, another man came inside the room and waltz into Modama's line of sight. He was wearing red robe with dragon embroidered on his back.

"You failed." He stated coldly.

"Xiao Zi," Modama called his name lazily and smirked.

"You were being played by those two brothers." An aura of an Emperor exuded from his body as he stared dagger at Modama.

"Play? Me?" He pointed himself and then laughed like crazy. "No one could be able to fool me!"

"They did." Xiao Zi nodded as though he affirmed his point.

"The game just began." Modama said in eerie tone. "Let's see who will laugh in the end."


Xiao Zi tilted his head questioningly."What do you mean?"

Modama didn't answer his questioned directly, but he directed his anger toward his son who still kneeling on the floor as he bellowed. "Call your sister!"

Gong Xu raised his head with questioning look. He didn't like it when his father talked to his elder sister. But, he couldn't stand the pressure that Modama gave to him. He felt like the air in his lung was sucked out and left him breathless.

"Scram!!!" He barked.

Immediately Gong Xu stood up and ran his feet away as fast as he could.

Modama didn't like this son of him, simply because he didn't inherited his ability as a mind controller. He despised him. However, his daughter was different. She was the real talent!

Xiao Zi raised his brows, not affected by his anger. "What are you going to do with your daughter?"

Upon hearing Xiao Zi questioned, Modama chortled like a maniac. "The task would be completed by Luna." He said with heinous voice as his eyes opened wide with excitement.

The dead body had been buried and debris had been cleared from the main road of the Kingdom of Xinghe. Thousands soldier who surrender had been held as war prisoner, meanwhile the commoners were arrested inside their own house, waiting for their wheel of fortune of the final decision from the Emperor of Azura.

Two weeks, had passed since the Kingdom of Xinghe was wiped out from the continent and The Kingdom of Azura gained another territory. With this, Azura have dominated the continent of four kingdoms.

However, with the downfall of The Kingdom of Xinghe, there were only three Kingdoms existed in this continent. The Kingdom of Zodasian, Rockstone and Azura as the symbol of supremacy.

Xiao Tianyao was inside the hall of Xinghe palace and just dismissed all of his leaders after he gave them the necessary instruction. He was waiting for the decree from Azura's Emperor.

For the fact that it took two week for travel back and forth from Xinghe to Azura, it should be here within this week.

He was about to walk out from the hall when one of the soldiers knelt in front of him. "General Xiao." He lowered his head in respect.

"You are excused." Xiao Tianyao let the young soldier to stand up.

The soldier stood up, it seemed he was a leader of a team as he gave a cue to the other soldier behind him to step closer.

A woman flanked on the left and right of the burly soldiers. She looked no older than 20, with disheveled hair scattered on her face.

Xiao Tianyao didn't pay much attention at her and looked at the soldier in front of him grimly as he inquired his attention.

"We caught the woman when she tried to run away from the Crown Prince of Xinghe's study room." He said and signaled to the other two people to release her.

Both of them threw her on the ground, right before Xiao Tianyao's feet. The girl crawled backed up and brushed away her hair from her face as she raised her head to look at Xiao Tianyao.

Her body trembled in fear. She resembled a fawn in trapped. But, the thing that captivated Xiao Tianyao's attention the most were those beautiful eyes that shone brilliantly.

Her eyes were black as a charcoal with glimmered of stubbornness. She didn't say anything, only stared back at Xiao Tianyao and he found himself lost in those eyes.

Xiao Tianyao wasn't able to retract his eyes from her. Like something had possessed him, he staggered forward and reached out his hand as he bent slightly.

Carefully, he brushed away her hair to have a clear look on her eyes. "Beautiful…" He mumbled and stroke the girl cheek softly as his big palm cupped her face, he questioned her."What's your name?"

The girl cherry lips moved as a voice like a down feathers soothed Xiao Tianyao's ears.

"Luna." She said.
