611 The Void.
Yang Dao and Dao Yin froze when they heard this person’s words. However, they quickly became vigilant. The boy said, “Plume come back.”
The golden crow returned to his side and telepathically told him, “Master, this person is not easy.”
Yang Dao nodded and asked, “Who might you be?”
The person said, “I am the representative of the void.”
The two stiffened but suddenly they calmed down. Dao Yin asked, “What do you want from us?”
“I do not want anything from you two. I do not want you two.” said the young man.
Yang Dao said, “Hmmm, well we can agree to this, we also do not want you.”
Dao Yin nodded and took out her sword. Plume changed shape and materialized into a sword as well. The young man on the other side said, “Very well then, that was quick.”
Yang Dao said, “See, it is nothing personal, but you just do not know when to stop. You infect the people like some plague, if you are not stopped then you will destroy everything, that cannot be allowed. So, sorry.”
That said, the two people charged forward. The crown prince took out a spear and began to fight.
…
Zen stood outside the cave and said, “Damn it, they came across the void representative. This is too quick.”
She raised her head to look at the sky, and a voice echoed in her ears, “Calm down, this one cannot trouble them. They are not so weak.”
Zen calmed down but mumbled, “How can I be calm? *sighs* What to do?”
The voice in her mind said, “Let it be. The masters will take care of it.”
…
Inside the cave, three people were fighting and the scenery was shocking, Yang Dao and Dao Yin had left a lot of wounds on the Daemon in front of him, but every time, Dao Yin tried to kill him for good, the enemy would move and avoid the attack. The guy had a superior regeneration.
It was not as if the enemy was stronger, but this guy was slippier. Yang Dao stood beside Dao Yin and said, “Let us use the Dao Swords.”
Dao Yin froze for a second but then she nodded and the attack began. The two people would attack the enemy in sync, one high, one low. The sequence of attacks looked like it was a machine executing them.
The sword intent was constantly being accumulated. They did not want to attack the guy with the sword intent just yet. Not because he was slippery, it was because they were now beginning to learn how to sync together. The attacks became sharper and intense.
Yang Dao would defend when Dao Yin will attack and vice versa. The harmony between the two began to develop and the sounds from their movement began radiating the Dao resonance. The fallen crown prince became slower, and he began taking more attacks with each passing moment.
The Void influenced the Dao by threatening the world, while the Dao countered unity and balance. The cave had already expanded more than it was before.
…
Zen stood outside the cave, listening to all the movements and her heart was getting calmer because she could sense the Dao Resonate with the two youngsters.
…
In the Dao Palace, Feng Yun was sipping tea from a cup with all the girls standing beside her. She asked, “What do you see?”
Kiya said, “The void is not simple.”
Feng Yun nodded. Athena said, “Master, Yang, and Yin are in a harmony, then why are they not able to deal with him instantly?”
Feng Yun said, “They have not yet completed their unity. They only understand the superficiality of their natures. Did you think it would be this easy to match each other, even if they are meant for each other, they still have to work for it.”
The girls nodded and Mika said, “Master, I wish to kill that crown prince. Is this normal?”
Feng Yun asked, “Why do you want to kill him?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Mika shrugged, “He is making Dao work hard.”
The rest of the girls chuckled and Feng Yun flicked her slender fingers on the latter’s forehead as she said, “You are smitten by his charm, my dear.”
Mika acted coy and said, “I really am, master.”
Kiya said, “Time to balance the cringe.”
…
Yang Dao and Dao Yin had the void representative at their mercy. The crown prince suddenly said, “Why don’t you finish me yet?”
The two did not answer, they were moving forward in sync. The crown prince smirked and said as he parried the stabbing attack by Yang Dao, “The superficial unity of Yin and Yang? Is that what you are aiming at. Tsk, you are just wasteful. Useless, weak dao children.”
Dao Yin mumbled, “Union…”
“Slash.”, picked up Yang Dao.
The next moment a sharp sword intent radiated from their blades and it instantly enveloped the crown prince. What happened next was the destruction of the crown prince completely. Even a shred or a wisp of his being was not left behind.
Yang Dao and Dao Yin sighed with relief, the boy asked, “Yin, you okay?”
Dao Yin nodded as her gaze checked the boy was alright. The two people moved through the cave and after they finished the final sweep, they came outside with the scared rebels. Yang Dao looked at them and said, “Did you see what happened to the crown prince?”
The people nodded, their eyes were brimming with please for mercy. Dao Yin said, “We have placed a little breath of ours, if you ever turn to the dark side, just thinking about it will have your whole body explode like a watermelon.”
Yang Dao said, “We understand that it is your choice who gets what but think about it, you will still get something. If you fell into the dark side, you will not only lose the others around you but yourself as well. A slave to what the void whispers in your mind. Do you think, everything that you gain with ease will stay with you?
You will lose everything that you already had, your family, your friends, your love, your hate, your emotions and you will become nothing. So tell me, do you want to become nothing?”
The people shook their heads. Dao Yin waved her hand and the restraint was gone. The two returned to Zen’s side, and the lady asked with a smile, “All done?”
The couple nodded, and then with a wave of her hand, the couple appeared in the royal throne room, it seemed as if the session was still going on. The emperor said, “Leave us alone.”
The courtiers returned with a respectful stance. The man stood up from the throne and asked, “Lady Zen, is my son…”
He did not know what he should ask for. Lady Zen said, “You have my deepest condolences, your eminence but the crown prince had become something that was not your son.”
The emperor was shaken, he wanted to ask more but he could not. Dao Yin looked at the prime minister and the empress on the side, the lady was even shedding tears. She snapped, “You all are sad, fine. But why do you put up the looks as if all is lost? You still have a daughter left. She cares for you and she respects you. Can you not think of her for even a second? She will make a ten times better Emperor than what your son would have been.”
The people were stunned but when they thought about it the princess has shown exceptional talent ever since she was young and she was also very much loved by the people of the empire. And now her defect has been cured. She could make the idol emperor.
The emperor sighed and said, “I have always wanted my elder daughter to be my heir. However, she never showed any interest in ruling the empire, what can I do?”
Yang Dao said, “The job of an emperor is to serve the empire, lead it to the point where it does not need an emperor and can work on its own. She needs to do that.”
The people were shocked, they did not expect this young child to bestow them with such wisdom. They bowed and Yang Dao said, “Sister Zen, we are tired, can we go back now.”
The lady nodded and took out a talisman, she crushed it and a few seconds later a portal appeared in front of them. Yang Dao and Dao Yin jumped in and they vanished from the place.
When they appeared, the trio stood in the teleportation hall of the holy land. Yang Dao said, “You really were not joking.”
Zen smiled and said, “Let’s go.”
They left the hall and came outside. They came to Laohu Bai, the first thing the two youngsters did was sit in front of the white tiger and they asked, “Big sister Bai, we missed you.”
Laohu Bai suddenly sensed a bad feeling in her gut.
