《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 7: Awake

Lin Xiao chose not to repeat his words and merely waved his hand. It was clear from his gesture that he had no intention to help them to deliver the letter at all. Well, in the first place, there wouldn't be anyone who was stupid enough to let a kid deliver the important letter to some sects.
"Just let that idiot go, Qin'er," Su Han said righteously. "He's just someone who didn't have eyes."
"Hmph!" Xu Qin harrumphed and looked at her father. Her father was the elder in this village and also one of the few most powerful people. However, even her father was already this anxious.
This meant that they have to quickly search for another tree to hang on.
While the villagers were busy trying to find someone to deliver the letters at several sects around this area, Lin Xiao walked back home. He kicked the stone in front of him with his two hands on the back of his head.
'How stupid, why didn't they try to confirm whether the news is fake or not.'
Lin Xiao's words were never heeded in this village, so he didn't really care that much. What he wanted was to simply return back home and thought for a method to survive. No matter what, he didn't like the idea of switching allegiance so quickly.
It might be only his village, but he hated it all.
'Besides, the fall of Taiyi Sect shouldn't have been that long but they're already that anxious to switch allegiance.'
'It just didn't make sense.'
Lin Xiao felt that there was something wrong with how the elders reacted. He recalled the disciple he met yesterday and felt that all of his suspiciousness stemmed from meeting that disciple. The wounds were fresh, which meant that the disciple was wounded within 24 hours from the time he met that disciple.

Probably even earlier.
Which meant that there were also some of people who were chasing after him near this village?
Somehow, Lin Xiao felt that he was thinking too much.
He should just go home and train in his punch again. Usually, he would be trying to search for money at this point of time, but he was not in the mood to do so. The villagers' attitude only making him annoyed.
He might like to play prank, but he hated disloyalty the most.
"Brother! You're back?" Lin Yun called out when he saw his older brother coming.
Lin Xiao nodded. "Yes. What are you doing, Yun?"
"I'm mixing the herbs that you gathered yesterday, Brother. Some of them are pretty good."
"Ah."
It was then Lin Xiao recalled that he forgot to clean up the herbs that he managed to gather from the mountain. He scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I forgot that there might be some that you need."
"I can search it myself. Also, Bro, what happened in the village?"
"Taiyi Sect fall."
"Yes?" Lin Yun's hand stopped moving. The spoon he was using to stir the medicine almost fell to the other side as he looked at his brother with his mouth open wide. The news that Lin Xiao brought to him sounded inconvincible,
That shouldn't have been possible.
"It's true," Lin Xiao said helplessly. He stood in front of the tree and readied his stance. His eyes were focused on the tree before him.
Sua! Sua!
As he was busy punching, he didn't realize that Lin Yun was still perplexed. The confirmation that Lin Xiao said only told him that everything that Lin Xiao said just now must have been the truth.
But….
How come he accepted such news?

"That's bad, Brother."
"It's very bad."
"What are we supposed to do?" Lin Yun asked again. He was no longer in the mood to care for the medicine in his hand anymore.
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment. "I don't think that it'll do us anything good to get involved for now. I would say, we should stay low and observe the people for the time being and see whether Taiyi Sect have truly fallen or not."
"You didn't believe the news?"
"Not really."
"Why?"
"Because they said that there's no survivor," Lin Xiao said with certainty. "You know very well that it's not true, right?"
Lin Yun nodded. Even though he was just a sickly young boy, he still recognized the clothing from Taiyi Sect. The young man that Lin Xiao brought home yesterday should be a disciple from Taiyi Sect, probably someone from outer disciple.
Outer disciple were disciples who didn't have that high of talent. They were not usually regarded highly inside a sect, but they were still important. As long as they managed to stand above the rest and proved that they were better, they could reach higher rank.
Of course, with so many outer disciples in a sect, it was needless to say that the competition was very fierce.
Swish!
Lin Xiao punched forward and frowned. The punch didn't feel right just now.
"You need to lower your center of gravity."
The unfamiliar voice startled Lin Xiao. He glanced to the direction of their house and saw the stranger from yesterday was standing near the door. He was holding onto the frame while trying to keep his body from moving around. Even though it was clear that he had difficulties to stand, he still looked in Lin Xiao's direction as if he was telling the truth.
Lin Xiao looked at the tree once more and lowered his center of gravity a bit. After adjusting his movement, he punched forward.
Pa!
The dent on the tree was a bit deeper than what he usually could do.
Lin Xiao was dumbfounded.

8 195Alternate Worlds
This is actually a group of short stories I did some time ago. The first group are 3 stories, all starring the same Protagonist but with different foes and ways of how the stories play out. Past this I have other story lines that I have done this with and will likely use this heading to put them out there. - Note: The Book Picture is the location of the Portal the car went through. There are 4 such statues set across from each other and then two of the large pillars, set across the street from one another. New Story Line: Lost is about a man lost in a world that Used to have summoned hero's, ones where the mages who did the summonings did not close the pathways properly, so sometimes people from all across time, space, and dimension end up falling in to their world. Some become heroes, some 'Demon Lords' and some something else. I have 3 versions of this story which I will put here, one chapter a day. 2cd version was massively flawed, which I only realized while sharing it. As such I am skipping it and moving on to the 3rd version. The 3rd Story of Lost is about a man who mysteriously fell in to a world based on video games, complete with leveled zones, levels of skills, professions and so forth. Being from a world like ours, with the knowledge of these things, gives him a decided edge and better potential than normal. --------------------------------------- New story - New Life, Old Soul is the story of a man who used desperate experimental magic to grant himself a new life in a new world. This is an Iseki story with a single twist as no outside force dropped or summoned this soul to its new life. Come and see what sort of world and life this willing traveler of Realities unknown experiences. I will try and post once a day, though times may vary depending on my the wierdness that is my life. ^-^ ------------------------------ Cosmic Chaos A Void Maker tried to destroy several realities, by forcing their crystal shells in to each other. The AOs of those realms fought back the best they could, including a desperate play of opening random portals between the divergent universes and the void. Several things, peoples, and animals fell through these portals. In the grand scheme of things very little of this had long reaching consequences. However, Some of these universes gained new time lines from these events.This is a story of one such event, of one very lost traveler dropped in to a very different world than the one he came from. Tags: Isekai, Gender Change (Male to Female), Magic, Drama (lets face it most of my stories have a bit of this in them even when I don't tag them thus, though I don't know how 'Realistic' the characters are.) -------------------------------
