Master of Untold Daos

Chapter 397: Southern Gate Monastery

Chen Ming’s right eye was blazing like the sun while his left eye shined with moonlight.

The stars on his back formed a Star Dragon that floated above.

The image was complete with the pervading Draconic Influence.

Everything pointed to one conclusion, Chen Ming was a genuine Star Dragon.

Daoist Qing Long stooped, “Qing Long greets His Highness!”

Chen Ming helped him up, “Senior Qing Long, there’s no need for courtesy.”

“Your Highness, my leave from seclusion is unknown. I will take you in secret to Southern Gate Monastery.”

He took out two black robes, “Your Highness, please cover your grandeur.”

“I understand.”

Chen Ming and Qing Long left the temple, “I prepared a carriage to take us.”

He threw away any notion of flying, not out of fear but out of being discovered.

Journeying for half a month, they arrive before the Southern Gate Monastery. Chen Ming noticed the irritated Daoist, thinking it was because of the smooth journey.

What if I got to save His Highness from assassins and getting hurt in the process?

His Highness will be sure to remember my sacrifice and I will fly through the ranks.

Yet this whole trip was pitch-perfect, unlike any I had before.

They arrived at a house in the back of the Southern Gate Monastery, where Daoist Qing Long presented his badge to an old man sweeping. The elderly looked around and said, “Follow me.”

The two climbed the mountain and stopped before a palace. It looked like a crystal palace, made of everlasting ice.

In this palace of ice stood the fiends’ Immortal King, the Black Jade Qilin Bey Junwu.

The fiends’ regime stemmed from how divided they were. It was also why there was no Immortal King ruling the entire fiend race.

They had an Emperor just like any other Great Immortal Domains, an Immortal King, but much stronger.

Controlling a Tree of Martyrs showed strength, just how the four Great Immortal Domains built their power around it. The Headless Assembly didn’t have a Tree of Martyrs either and were ever without sole leadership, while their military power stood above all. The fiends, on the other hand, had no Tree of Martyrs, neither supreme ruler, and yet every land was in pieces.

Yan Shengxiao’s appearance was meant to change that. They were aware of their problem, but never approved of any who took the seat. Such a sensitive title might earn the attention of some clans who succumbed to infighting for it. When the civil war would end, so too would the fiends’ future.

The four Great Immortal Domains would make sure of that.

With Yan Shengxiao’s coming, the fiends’ structure changed. Their leaders met and settled her future position as Empress. Until it came to pass, they voted a regent as the people’s counsel.

This regent would change each century and needed to swear an oath to Yan Shengxiao before taking office.

As for Star Dragon Crown Prince popping up, that was a whole nother matter. Just how the Great Immortal Domains were after his death without scruples, the fiends would protect him at all costs.

The Galaxy wasn’t united under one Immortal Domain and was always in a state of unrest with its six factions. Only an Immortal King ruler was a true Immortal King.

War never left the Galaxy.

Bey Junwu was sleeping when the High Priest called him. He told a servant girl to prepare breakfast, “High Priest, why so early? Did something happened?”

“My King, Star Dragon Crown Prince is here.”

Bey Junwu was giving more orders to the servant, “Not to oily, since it’s not healthy. Two roasted pigs will do.”

Then he turned to High Priest stunned, “Say that again.”

High Priest repeated, “My King, it’s better to skip breakfast. Star Dragon Crown Prince is here.”

Bey Junwu warned the servant, “You never heard of this.”

He straightened his clothes, “Are you sure?”

“Daoist Qing Long confirms it. He is the one from the Tian Bushou’s inheritance.”

“Let’s meet him. Wait, if I go like this and he proves to be the real deal, his impression of me will sour. Since at our first meeting I’ll be challenging his identity, he won’t accept it. You’ll have to check his identity then report back.”

“My King’s worries are my duties.”

He could only agree, I just knew this tough task will fall on me. But what can I do, I’m just a High Priest.

High Priest was the same as prime minister of the secular world.

I can’t offend the Star Dragon Crown Prince, even more so if he’s real. Didn’t Fairy Star Dragon have ill-feelings towards him?

If I throw them together, Fairy Star Dragon who can ascertain his identity will make it difficult for him. Isn’t this the perfect excuse?

High Priest praised himself for having such outstanding intellect and coming up with a foolproof plan. He ran out of the temple and said to the two black-robed men, “I am the Regent’s High Priest. He is not here and I will be welcoming you.”

“Your Highness status is of utmost importance. Please follow me to ascertain its validity.”

Chen Ming wasn’t clear to his plan but still went along. They arrived at a garden with two houses across from each other. The High Priest gestured at one, “Your Highness, in order to protect someone of your important stature, we can only disappoint Your Highness in letting you stay here.”
