To Walk The Mist

Many turned to look at Tie Nse, waiting for him to elaborate . Tie Nse looked at the bunch and yawned .

"I am proud that the Ukon clan have gotten five good descendants, but this patriarch is too busy for this drama . The top winner will be decided in the next battle . " he said and many paused .

The Ukon Clan? That odd clan famed to be the brains of the heaven alliance? Their descendants were partic.i.p.ating? Many looked round, trying to recognize them .

"The Ukon clan"s famous invisibility skill is truly admirable . " Council head Si said .

Many recognized faces they had not seen fight on the stage and looked at them in awe .

"We thank patriarch and council head for your compliment . Grandfather said that the patriarch was attending the meet . Since his time, the skill has not inheritors . He asked that we show you that the clan still holds strong . He will be happy when he hears of your praise . " one of the clansmen spoke .

The other powers sighed at this . The heaven alliance has a lot of hidden factions that people have forgotten exist for so long . Lady Mi reminded her self, that this alliance has stood longer than her own and their power is deeper than one might think .

Who did not hear of the might of the Ukon clan . They were the smartest people in the entire alliance . They did not create weapons or big alchemy support for the alliance . They were the brains of every thing . During the demon wars, the former heaven alliance patriarch made all troupes, teams and the entire army, under the control of the Ukon clan . Even to the smallest squad . With all the leaders being members of that clan, the heaven alliance did not eat much loss during the war as compared to the other powers .

Many attribute the level of power the heaven alliance had at the moment to the miraculous success in that war . While other powers lost a lot of their disciple and geniuses to the war, making them weaker after it, The heaven alliance did not loose much . As powers like the clans were trying to rebuild, the heaven alliance was growing .

This clan had a host of skills, but the most kept secret was the invisibility skill .

"The patriarch intends to end the meet?" someone finally realized the words Tie Nse had said .

Many turned to look at Tie Nse, especially the elders of the alliance .

"Patriarch, what do you mean?" Council head Si asked .

"I cannot wait to see if you all reach the top . The winners will be decided today . " Tie Nse said . No one understood that he had received a message from Old Iba that his disciple will probably breakthrough in a week . Even though Old Iba had said a week, he could not trust that odd boy he took up as a disciple . It may happen much sooner than antic.i.p.ated .

"I will set the stage . " Tie Nse said and a loud clap of his hands rand through the arena .

Just at that moment, the ground trembled . Many looked around in confusion . As though pulled by a big hand, the ground on which the contestants stood . The five stages were lifted into the air . The sky seemed to crack in two, pulling the stages into it .

Some trained their eyes on Tie Nse, the others trained them on the spectacle before their eyes .

Of course, those that watched Tie Nse speedily wave through several hand signs, were leaders of strong powers present, especially the other eight powers .

"Impossible!" Lady Mi exclaimed .

"We can not keep quite again, can we?" the person who spoke was the Ke clan chief, Ke Nti .

They were all thinking the same thing . Tie Nse had already gotten to this stage of soul realisation? This was the final stage and he was not even hundred!

They could not let him train another him . If this was allowed to happen . The Heaven alliance will become unrivalled amongst the nine powers .

The stages and earth taken with them had formed one centre stage in the sky . To different side of the stage, stair cases in the sky appeared . All leading to ten doors . Tie Nse manifested Ten swords and threw them into the sky . They all found their way behind each door and hung right behind it .

"All those sword have grades . They are a ten sword set . The top ten will be decided upon which sword chooses you . Climb!" Tie Nse"s words rang through the arena .

Many were still fl.u.s.tered and did not know what to do . The crowd was in uproar . What was happening? The meet will be decided just like this? The other powers frowned at Tie Nse"s form that had taken his seat immediately after speaking . What could be so urgent that he would shorten the meet? It must have something to do with that student of his!

The contestants were mostly confused . The more determined ones immediately started to ascend the stairs . As their feet touched the stairs, their bodies froze .

What nonsense was this?Many turned to look at Tie Nse, waiting for him to elaborate . Tie Nse looked at the bunch and yawned .
