"Ah!"

Suddenly, Ren Yuan's attention was instantly taken away from the screaming young man that has just been standing still the entire time in which has caused his grey pupil to widen in great alarm when he witnesses the tears of blood dripping out from the young man's eyes before it was cover by his hands.

However, Ren Yuan heard a familiar voice has spoken while echoing out in the entire area, in which everyone can hear it coming in every direction despite the fact that Ren Yuan know that it was Shao Cheng that has just spoken those words out.

"... you are hurt…"

And then before Ren Yuan can react the young man figure has suddenly appeared right before his very eyes causing his grey pupil to widen in astonishment because, in just a split second of blinking, Shao Cheng has already stood so close.

"... C-Cheng…?"

Suddenly rather unusual icy cold hand has gently touched his left cheek that has instantly awakened Ren Yuan from his thought before meeting the slight daze cold sapphire eyes of Shao Cheng that seemed to have light purple color swirling inside it.

"...You…" What is happening?

There is something wrong… that is what Ren Yuan guts are telling him as he gazes upon those familiar but also unfamiliar eyes.

Although Ren Yuan doesn't shy away from the gentle cares upon his cheek because despite knowing that there is something wrong and strange about Shao Cheng, there isn't a single bit of fear and dread emerging on his heart.

While the thought of this person causing him to be hurt, especially being a great danger on his life has never once crossed his mind because Ren Yuan only has endless worry and concern about the young man well being that he wanted to raise his hand in order to check if Shao Cheng was injured.

However, before Ren Yuan can touch him, the young man has suddenly taken a step back before tilting his head to the side while almost entirely becoming daze while out of focus about his surrounding.

"Cheng? What is wrong?"

The way you are acting is truly concerning.

"... wrong?"

Suddenly, Shao Cheng who spoke those words out has widened his eyes before his figure has disappeared in Ren Yuan eyes and swiftly appeared toward the screaming PengFei, leaving a dumbfounded and bewildered Ren Yuan that has witnessed that movement for only a mere second.

"Foreigner…"

PengFei that has been screaming from the pain and oppressive pressure nonstop has wholly sensed the dangerous young man's presence before he even saw his blurry figure with his red eyesight where it felt like numerous needles has been stabbing it nonstop.

"..Argh…! Icy… no… oh… please forgive… this person utter ignorant and disrespect ...oh, extraordinary being…"

Using all the strength PengFei can muster while trying hard to restrain the torturous pain that continues to havoc his inside has practically plastered all his entire body on the ground before groveling so humbly and meekly.

This isn't his Icy friend right now, PengFei is quite sure, rather it is a special and unusual being using his friend's body.

And he recognizes it just base on the inside information he has desperately learned regarding about special power and the history of the Empire that he has grown up with because of his special status.

There has been a myth about a special and powerful spirit that just sleeps peacefully while being unbothered and unconcern about the human matter, while there are also among the spirit that is free-spirited and quite curious.

And it was all written in just a single scroll that has been long forgotten and tucked in a corner, something that PengFei has accidentally found and read in his spare time.

PengFei didn't know if it is true, especially when it was written a thousand years ago while no one has been able to even explain and find out any evidence about that information, especially when he was quite sure that no one even knows that information that he accidentally read before.

But the one standing before him seemed to be the proof PengFei needed to believe all of it because he felt that oppressive feeling that appeared ancient and unexplainable aura that continue to ruthlessly press him hard.

Even PengFei can feel his soul was about to be broken by the constant heavy pressure, in which he absolutely believes without any hesitation that no human being is capable and powerful enough to cause what he is experiencing!

Damn it… my friend… what kind of a person are you? Are you even a human being?

As he shakes and trembles at the ground with his head lower down, while letting out painful sound once in a while, Ren Yuan that has witnessed the entire ordeal doesn't know how to react.

However, Ren Yuan has abruptly shown a heavy and hard expression when he heard Shao Cheng's voice that sounds so wrong and completely unfamiliars from his ears.

Especially when the words he mentions reveal an extremely important matter about the status of the young man that just remains silent despite having someone groveling before him.

"... Foreigners... Not allowed… you… hurt my Cheng… mine… can't hurt... my treasure…"

And without any hesitation, even before Ren Yuan saw those familiar sapphire eyes that have become eerily detached and serene, his throat made a rumbling sound before a threateningly and terrifying growls soon followed before forcing his words out on his gritted teeth when the unfamiliar young man has slowly turned his head toward him.

"You are not Cheng!"

That is an indifferent gaze in a manner that looks down upon every existence, so completely different from the usual indifferent and cold gaze of Shao Cheng that still felt so human, but the one that Ren Yuan is meeting at the moment is completely just inhuman.

"What did you do to Whitey!? Give him back to me!"

And without an ounce of fear and hesitation, Ren Yuan has swiftly arrived at the abnormal Shao Cheng and grabbing his shoulder tightly before narrowing his peach blossom grey eyes in a threatening manner.

"... mine…"

Shao Cheng, or more precisely the spirit of Chang Empire that has entered Shao Cheng body, spoke that single word in a seemingly pouting manner causing Ren Yuan anger to rushed out his head.

"What is yours, he is mine! Wait, that is wrong! Little Cheng doesn't belong to anyone!"

Feeling that Ren Yuan is going crazy, he just frantically shook the person or whatever it is in a crazy manner so that he can emphasize what he is genuinely feeling at the abnormal situation at the moment.

And the real Shao Cheng that was on his spirit form after being pulled out when arriving at the screaming PengFei can only let out a sigh at the human and spirit fighting seemed to be fighting over him.

"... can you please deal with PengFei first?"

That is the whole reason why Shao Cheng has allowed the spirit to use his body after being gently asked about it with broken words about why the Chang spirit wanted to use it.

As for the dangerous possibility of Shao Cheng being controlled and manipulated by the Chang spirit can only roll his eyes along with the shake his head at such thoughts.

After all, the Chang spirit is undoubtedly powerful enough to take over his body without getting his permission.

But the Chang spirit has thoughtfully asked first, which has suddenly reminded Shao Cheng the words of the High Priestess about himself being greatly favored by the land itself, so this is what she meant before, those words have never been so clear until today situation.

Frankly, Shao Cheng doesn't have any idea about the reason of why he is love and favor by the Chang Empire, but he can only just accept it, after all, nothing will change if Shao Cheng whines and complains about it since he is dealing with a powerful being that couldn't be deal with normal means.

"... um… I'll.. share… Cheng… only to you… though…"

"What the hell… there is something wrong with how you think..."

Ren Yuan who felt the craziness and abnormality of the being inside Shao Cheng body just felt speechless before letting out numerous swears, after all, Little Cheng sure got possessed by some ghost, demon, or some insane being.

Besides that, Ren Yuan needed to speak the special power of Shao Cheng in a serious discussion later on, especially despite the fact that he felt the danger at the existence before him, but it also showed about how possessively protective it was to Shao Cheng, so it was not completely dangerous

It has barely gotten Ren Yuan's slight approval though since he will always worried about this unusualness that he doesn't know of, while he truly needed to know more about Shao Cheng power or else it might drive him crazy later on.

In which, it is already driving him crazy at the moment.

However, before Ren Yuan can think more about it, he suddenly felt a powerful strength that felt inhuman on his entire body when a slender finger has suddenly gently poked his forehead, making his body frozen, unable to move, and can only watch the being in Shao Cheng body tilt his head to certain direction after giving once last glance at the groveling figure that remains silent.

"It's coming…"

After speaking those confusing words, a strong breeze of wind has suddenly appeared in the entire area, strong enough to cause some of the tree to become uprooted and being broken all around them, although Ren Yuan and the people completely remain safe and sound at the sudden unnatural weather that has appeared.

"Trespasser… and sinner…smell so foully and disgusting… "

While in another place, of another Empire, a man in his fifties wearing decorated and luxurious blue clothes stood silently on top of a high platform before his eyes suddenly have opened up in which containing a swirling mass of thick blue energies.

And without any hesitation has raised his hand over to a certain direction with a wicked smile on his face.

"Finally found you…"
