The Prodigal Son

Chapter 5

Ye Jun, in the crown king"s room, is surrounded by reports.

A report today was a little different. The details in it were too specific.

"Ling Shi, who is number 8?"

"Number 8 is known to the master."

"OH. Who is that? "

"Wei Wu, Shu Jia"s concubine."

"Shu Jia"s fifth concubine? "

Ye Jun was extremely surprised. Wei Wu is one of the favorite women of Shu Jia. Although she comes from the red district, her beauty and behavior impressed Shu Jia.

"Wei Wu is an agent selected and trained by the Old Great King. Although her position in the harem is not high, her network inside Shi Jun"s residence is very organized. Thus every move of Shu Jia is known by Wenxin Agency. "

After a little pause and a sad look, Ling Shi continues:

"But it"s very hard to send intelligence to the outside. Shi Jia is quite careful. Yet Wei Wu is very competent, when she manages to send information, these are very detailed."

"I see."

Ye Jun started hit lightly, the table, with the fingers. Today"s information was a little worrisome. Shu Jia had a meeting with five leaders of sects of the kingdom. Song Shi being present.

Five sect patriarch of the kingdom, meet with Shi Jia is not a good thing for Ye Jun.

"I have to hurry up with the plan."

"Ling Shi, contact our agents in each sect and let them send regular reports with each change in these sects. I want to know the slightest change."

"Be sure, young prince. This servant will do a good job.

Ye Jun continued to look through the rest of the reports. After a few hours, Ling Shi enters the room.

"Young prince. The duel between Su Wei and Du Mu is soon."

Ye Jun raises his eyes from reports. And with a smile:

"Thanks, Ling Shi. I don"t want to miss it."

Heavenly Dragon Sect Arena.

The Heavenly Dragon sect arena is where disciples can discuss their disputes or test their powers. Rarely a match of life and death happens.

One of the people in the sect"s administration must take part in these matches to validate the winner and to make sure there are no unpleasant events. But such events are 0 so far.

Ye Jun dressed in a black traditional embroidered prince clothes and a white hairpin. Everyone present felt that Ye Jun had changed a little.

Du Mu was in the middle of the arena with the sword given by Ye Jun. But what was more surprising, was Du Mu"s aura.

Ye Jun"s gift it manual, subtly changed his aura.

For a low-level cultivator, it isn"t detectable, but for Ye Jun, who cultivates and neutral Qi is very obvious. Ye Jun have learned another advantage of neutral Qi.

He"s much more attentive to the surrounding changes. He can feel slight changes in a person. From emotions to cultivation, they"re all slightly more visible to Ye Jun.

After a few moments, Su Wei comes to the arena. His hands are not empty, a small sword of decent quality. Looking around Su Wei sees Ye Jun, makes eye contact with him. After a few seconds, the expression on Su Wei"s face becomes serious.


Ye Jun turns his eyes around and pretends not to see Su Wei. On the opposite side, a Song Jia looks at Ye Jun. Without realizing her gaze stays on Ye Jun for a few good seconds, when she realizes her behavior, she lowers her head.

"Su Wei, accept defeat now and spare yourself a humiliating defeat."

"Defeat? This t.i.tle belongs to you, Du Mu. Don"t forget our understanding after you lose.

"HAHA. You believe too much in yourself, Su Wei."

After a few seconds, a loud sound of the gong. Sign that the fight is officially beginning.

Ye Jun was the most attentive of all the people present. Although the two who are fighting, aren"t very popular, fights weren"t that common in the sect. So, today in the arena, there was an impressive number of disciples.

As soon as the gong is heard, Du Mu squeezes the sword in his hand and steps forward. Start the attack with a frontal strike. Su Wei easily avoids the blow.

Ye Jun, on the side, has a black expression. Du Mu doesn"t seem to follow his advice.

He said to finish quickly, yet he chose to play with Su Wei. If the fight continues like this, Ye Jun is sure his plan will fail.

However, to his surprise, Du Mu suddenly changed tactics.

Instead of trying small openings, he grabs the sword with two hands. His position becomes different from what it was before.

Ye Jun opens, the eyes wide, he knows that position. It"s the first position in the manual. As soon as Du Mu, took the stand, his speed increased, only to Su Wei"s surprise, Du Mu was not in front of him.

Du Mu is behind him, releasing a hand from the sword and pushing the sword towards Su Wei"s back.

Su Wei can see Du Mu. He moves a little to the left, but Du Mu"s sword hurt his shoulder. Su Wei turns to Du Mu, but before he can figure out where Du Mu is, Du Mu is already in front of him. This time he has the sword in both hands, targeting Su Wei"s heart.

Su Wei raises his sword and tries to strike Du Mu"s sword. Du Mu bends over, frees a hand from the sword, and aims at Su Wei"s feet. Su Wei tries to dodge, but he gets hurt again.

Visibly annoyed, Su Wei catches the sword and launches an attack on Du Mu.

Du Mu catches the sword and also attacks. Su Wei gets to where Du Mu should be but, Du Mu is behind him, Su Wei is dodging once again. But he hears a cold voice:

"Do you think you"ll get away again?"

Du Mu saw Su Wei"s change of position. He changed the place of the sword and aimed his head at it. Du Mu"s sword stops right on Su Wei"s neck, a drop of blood staining his clothes. Right after a gong, followed by a voice:

"Winner, Du Mu."

Ye Jun"s eyes light up. Although the fight lasted longer than he wanted, the result is identical. Su Wei lost.

In his old life, Su Wei found the cultivator inheritance and allowing him to gain many manuals, including the pair of daggers. But now Su Wei doesn"t own any manuals. With its level of cultivation, the sect does not offer manuals. Ye Jun saw that Su Wei possesses a pretty good movement technique and a quality sword that costs a lot than Su Wei can afford.

With the help of the step technique, he could keep up with Du Mu. However, his skill in the sword is equal to 0. Agility cannot bring him victory.

Not in front of Ye Jun"s manual. In the manual, besides the sword technique, there is also one of movement that can be applied in concordance with the sword technique. As long as Du Mu has a sword in his hand, his speed increases excessively. Su Wei"s speed doesn"t affect him.

"Du Mu finally took my advice. He used his full force to take down Su Wei. I wonder if Su Wei got any punishment."
