Zhao was the first person to run up to Zuhn after he woke up. Zhao was the new head of the Treasury Department. His role was to deal with all of the finances of the sect. He also had to deal with the wages that each person got in the sect.

"Master! I"m happy that you are up. Though, we need to speak about some issues."

Zuhn nodded his head and brought him back to his tent.

"Master, even though we are a new sect, we have no money. Also, I"ve figured out the wages for each member of our sect. We need to get more money if we want to be able to grow the sect."

Zuhn understood what Zhao was asking for him to do. Liu was still in the tent when Zhao came into discuss about funds for the sect. Zuhn turned around and looked at Liu.

"Liu, Have you selected a couple of people to my personal guards?"

Liu nodded her head.

"Good, please call them over. We have a little mission we need to do to get some money."

Liu left the tent in a couple of seconds. Zuhn said goodbye to Zhao. Around 15 minutes later, Liu came back with six people. In total there were seven personal guards that were going to be protecting Zuhn.

Zuhn took a good look at all of the members. They were all at least Middle Gold Rank. Also, each of them had strong bodies and weapon with them. Zuhn nodded in approval before leaving the tent with his escort.

When Zuhn left the tent with multiple people around him it caught the attention of the surrounding people. Everyone that was around started to yell out that it was great that the sect master was up.

Zuhn nodded and waved to a couple of members before leaving his house. Outside, Zuhn and his personal guards made their way down the street. They were heading for the main castle of Windwood.

When they got to the wall that was outside of the castle. There was no one around, the whole wall was silent. Liu nodded to one of the personal guards.

The guard jumped on several buildings to make it over the wall. Once on the wall, the man moved around looking to see if there were any people. Once he cleared out the top of the wall, he looked back down and gave the signal.

The rest of the guards jumped on the buildings waiting for Zuhn to follow. When Zuhn reached the top of the wall, the rest of the guards moved up behind him.

Liu was the last one to make it up on the wall, looking down the castle was huge. Zuhn was only at the castle for a short time, when he first talked to the other core disciples.

Zuhn and the others couldn"t see if there was anyone still alive or in the castle. They all went down the wall with caution until reaching the front door of the castle.

Three guards moved inside of the castle and looked around for any people. They gave the all clear and everyone else walked inside. Zuhn felt a suddenly hidden aura in one of the corners of the castle.

Quickly his eyes scanned over where the aura was. His personal guards didn"t notice, but there was an elderly man watching them from afar.


The old man didn"t notice Zuhn stare and kept still in the corner. Zuhn turned to Liu and pointed the man out to her. She sent a couple of words that sent his guards into defensive positions around Zuhn.

"Old man, please come out."

The old man was shocked that the teen was able to see him in the corner. The man didn"t move at first, thinking that the teen wasn"t talking about him.

When the old man didn"t move, Zuhn sent small magical bursts towards the man. This made the man jump and dodge the bursts of magical that were coming towards him.

When the old man got out into the open, the guards all set killing intent to the man.

"Men, Calm down, let"s hear what the man has to say first."

The old man was about to speak when a huge magical power flew from behind the man. Quickly the guards blocked the magical attack. Some of the guards went sent flying a couple of meters.

Zuhn looked behind the old man to see a younger man walking towards them. The new man that was walking towards them was wearing a dark red cloak.

Zuhn took interest in the man that was walking out. Even though the man just attacked them, Zuhn couldn"t feel any killing intent.

"Young Man, what are you doing inside the Windwood castle?"

Zuhn was shocked at the way the man was talking to him. Did the man not know what happened outside of the castle, all of the chaos?

"I"m Zuhn, from the White Roses. W..."

"White Roses? Never heard of you. Now, why don"t you leave before Shi Huang comes back and kills all of you."

The elder man"s face changed when he heard Shi Huang"s name. The younger man in the back also noticed the elder"s face.

"Lun? What is it?"

The older man looked back to the man.

"Chu… How to tell you this… Shi Huang is dead..."

When the man finished his words, the younger man didn"t fill with killing intent. But instead, let out a small sigh of relief.

"Finally, that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d is dead."

This shocked Zuhn and the elder.

"Lun, who killed that b.a.s.t.a.r.d?"

The elder was slightly shaking when he pointed his finger over to Zuhn"s group.

"Them?"

"Yes, Chu… We must get revenge for Shi Huang!"

A bright orange slash came from Chu"s direction. The orange light went through the elder, dropping him dead on the spot.

This caused Liu and the other guards to cast magic on themselves to strengthen their bodies against magic.

The young man looked back to the group, "Don"t worry I don"t plan on killing you guys. I actually want to thank whoever killed him. Was it you boy?"

The man pointed his finger to Zuhn.

"Yes, Sir."

"You don"t have to be formal with me, that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d kept me as a slave. He sealed away my power when I was younger and kept me held in a jail cell for years."

Liu fell back a little bit after hearing what the man said.

"Can I call you Chu?"

Chu nodded his head.

"Well, Chu my disciple here Liu Lihua was also taken as a slave by Shi Huang. Sorry, but I let her kill Shi Huang."

"Nah, It"s alright kid. I really don"t mind, I was planning on killing him myself but you got to it before me."

"Alright, I would hate to break all of this up. But, my sect is indeed of some problems right now. We took out all surviving members of Windwood and only the people that remain in this castle are left."

"Oh? You are planning on fully taking Windwood sect off the face of the planet?"

Zuhn nodded his head.

"Alright, You can go ahead and take this whole castle if you want."

Zuhn could feel that the man was about to say "but"

"But, It"s not free for the taking."

Zuhn understood the man, Zuhn took out his magical dagger and moved the personal guards out of his way.

"Master, You just healed!"

Zuhn shook his head to Liu, before looking back at the man. The man was a little confused at Zuhn actions.

"Friendly little spar?"

Zuhn responded, "Friendly little spar."

Both of the men smiled as they rushed at each other, not with killing intent but joy on their faces.
