The Legend of Min Hong

But the first thing Min Hong did was to take Bai Shaoxing to the training area, and after restricting  anyone from coming over to the place, he sat there with Bai Shaoxing and spoke;

"You don't have to pretend anymore, I know who you are Bai Shaoxing!"

Min Hong revealed but Bai Shaoxing didn't move or even tilt from her current position and her eyes still seemed lost like earlier;

"Okay, if you want the hard way, I'll oblige!" Min Hong said…

Then he waited for about ten minutes and after recovering a little bit of Qi, he wrapped his Soul Qi all over Daniel's consciousness and sent it into Bai Shaoxing's soul, then after watching her tremble for about half an hour, a sweaty but very much aware Bai Shaoxing looked to Min Hong and blurted aggressively;

"Walking corpse, what do you want from me!?" Min Hong simply chuckled before replying;

"I was wondering how long you were going to hide in there, but I guess I expected too much from a fragment of the Spirit Sense of a Nirvana Stage expert…" Min Hong chuckled amusingly as he responded;

"You've got balls kid, I am surprised that you are not wetting your pants right now!" She spat back at Min Hong;

"Even if you were here in person old hag, I still wouldn't put you in my eyes, not to talk of a mediocre Spirit Sense fragment like yours…" Min Hong quipped back;

"Haha ha, don't worry you won't be able to smile for too long… I gather you are heading to the East Wind Empire at the moment right?"

"Don't worry, we shall meet there and then we will have this discussion once again…

But for now, I'm leaving!" The spirit within Bai Shaoxing blurted as her aura became chaotic, but Min Hong simply sat there chuckling in amusement at the entire scene;

"Unh?"

"What have you done!?"

"Why can't I leave!?"

The old and haggard feminine voice within her bellowed as Min Hong chuckled to himself;

"Apparently, you can't leave, except you fatally injure me or kill me… But since you have outlived your usefulness, I guess I don't have any use for you anymore…"

Min Hong replied but was abruptly interrupted;

"Wait?"

"How did you know I possessed Yu Fei?"

Bai Shaoxing asked and whilst Min Hong was stunned speechless in his mind, he didn't allow it to show on his face, lest he gave away their plans and destinations to this wicked expert from the Bai Super Clan; one of the enemies of the Dogon Empire…

"Well, firstly, asides from the fact that they kept saying you had a Nirvana stage technique, I figured out that you are simply a Saint Stage expert who luckily came into contact with a Low Grade Gold Tier martial arts or divine abilities…"

"Secondly, when you used the Ghost King slash, the martial art didn't come out as vicious and dangerous as a real Nirvana Stage art or divine ability would appear or be executed, and it was then I knew it would most likely be a borrowed technique which was not originally hers…" Min Hong continued;

"Lastly, I had been expecting the real you to show up the moment I defeated her, but instead you didn't show up and even when she was cursed, you didn't respond either which meant, you were either not here in person, or you were just incapable of warding off the curse…"

"Thus, when I searched her memories and found out that there were extremely few memory bubbles, I instantly knew she had been possessed and her memory suppressed whilst your took control of her body…" Min Hong responded;

"So now that you know it, what do you plan to do to me!?" She asked with a tinge of fear and uncertainty in her voice;

"What do you expect? Of course I plan on returning the life which you took from this person…"

Min Hong added before telling Daniel to finish off the divine sense of Bai Shaoxing…

He had already obtained all the necessary information he needed from her when he searched through her short term memories, and as a result, there was nothing Bai Shaoxing could offer her anymore;

"End her!" Min Hong ordered and Bai Shaoxing instantly began to panic;

"Wait, don't destroy m divine sense, it would take me of tens of years to fully recover…"

"How is that my problem!?" Min Hong blurted back at her, but she quickly replied;

"I have information on an inheritance ground and if-"

"Do you think I give a fuck about an inheritance ground?" Min Hong didn't even allow her to complete her statement before blurting;

"Kill her!" Min Hong ordered as Daniel did just that exactly;

"Baptism OF The Ancient Saints!"

Bzzt!

The sound of something fizzling out of existence rang out before Bai Shaoxing came to from her lost state, only to find herself alone in an enclosed area with a guy who was dressed like a lecherous young master, and instantly, she blanched before checking herself and after discovering that she hasn't been violated in any way, she looked towards Min Hong with a murderous gaze;

Then she bolted towards him with her Wind Dao whipping all over the area, but Min Hong didn't even move an inch, and just as she was about 15 inches from Min Hong, she ground to an abrupt halt as her fist which she had being wrapped within a burst of Wind Dao energy, as well as the rest of her body became unable to proceed another inch;

"What have you done to me!?"

She wanted to growl but her voice came out in a pleading manner, stunning her heavily;

"Let's just say I placed an insurance on you to make sure you didn't try to kill me after rescuing you from you predicament!"

Min Hong replied with a hint of anger and disgust in his tone, as the Saint Stage lady looked into her memories for any inkling on what might be happening to her…

Despite the fact that she had been possessed, she was still an Upper Level Saint Stage expert; which meant that, her being possessed also had its perks and that was the fact that everything that had happened to her was stored within her…

Though it wasn't stored in her mental memories, but her body and Qi could not lie about what they had gone through over the years with which she had been possessed, thus, in little to no time, she figured out everything that had happened;

"What about those three old geezers?" She asked with a more understanding tone;

"If I had simply killed you, it would have solved all my problems, but because I don't wish to kill an innocent person, I chose to rescue you instead which took a lot more from me than I expected…" Min Hong replied;

"I know where you are going with this, I don't expect you to be a Samaritan either; so what do you want from me?" She asked;

"Well, the curse I placed on you was tied to Bai Shaoxing, and now that she is no more, you are free; but I require that the child within you be cared for like it is your own…" Min Hong added;

"Child!?"

"What Child!?"

The lady blurted in shock as she checked and found out that she was really carrying a baby;

"What the hell!" She yelled;

"How did this happen!?"

She blurted but her body could remind her how it did happen and how much she loved every single part of it [Or perhaps Bai Shaoxing enjoyed every part of it…]

"I would give you some breathing space to think about it, but nothing must happen to that child of yours…"

"If eventually, you don't want it, you can birth the child and I will take it from you…"

Min Hong replied before leaving the secret area… Then he called the attention of the rest of the people aboard;

"We will be heading to an inheritance ground for now, and we will only continue with our mission once we are done there…"

Min Hong added as he looked towards the rest of them expecting them to ask him why or where the inheritance ground was, but on the contrary the core court disciples around him only asked if they would still be able to complete their missions in time for them to meet up with the Imperial Seeding Competition, whilst the rest asked to be accepted into the ranks of their group…

Min Hong revealed to them the dangers of their mission from now henceforth and what they might end up facing when they reach the inheritance ground, as well as the level of experts they might be dealing with which was in the bracket of the experts from the; Bai, Chun and Zheng Clan [at least that was how much he knew about everything]…

When the core court disciples heard they were actually scared and worried, but Min Hong added that he had sent a message to the Sect Leader via Ta Mi, and that if the message was successfully delivered, then they would have the backing of the Imperials, and only then were they able to relax…

But whilst Gu Ming, Elder Fu and the rest didn't know much about these Super Clans Min Hong was talking about, they were still reassured that as long as the Imperials were backing them, they couldn't have much problems, after all, the Imperial Clan of any Empire would be the strongest Clan within such Empire...

So they didn't worry too much about offending a Super Clan then…

"We will head over to the inheritance ground, and if we are lucky to find what these guys are really searching for there, then we should be able to continue with our mission…" Min Hong said before adding;

"But I must let you know that the dangers of our upcoming missions would be at least as difficult as the one we encountered in the Land of Stones…"

Then after a bit more discussion, everyone now understood why he split the entire group and why he took the strongest amongst all of them along on this new journey…

Apparently, whatever they achieve at the inheritance ground would determine if the war they had fought earlier was worth it or a simple waste of time, as Min Hong looked to the Pirate Leader and ordered; "Take us there!"
