The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

"We are on it, Elder Yun!"

The 25 Year Old youth who was named Lao Yi simply pointed towards four disciples and without any much as a sentence, they all moved out to carry out their tasks, whilst Elder Yun look at the remaining ten of them;

"Spread out over the wall and keep a look out… If you spot anything from your positions, alert me to it immediately!"

Elder Yun added before moving over to the gate of the sect itself and hovered over it, causing her to look like the guardian of the hidden temple…

The Sect wasn't an overly large one with a simple population of 1,000 people split into; One Sect Leader, Two Grand Elders, Three Teachers, Four District Elders, 20 Core Court disciples, 170 Inner Court Disciples and 800 Outer Court Disciples…

Thus, they were very smart, tactical and organized in their setups which makes them efficiently adapt to change in situations very quickly, and this can be seen by how they have handled the news of a potential beast horde…

Meanwhile…

Back on the Planet Of Jok…

Within the Dark Lands…

There were so much activity going on, that the moment all the Elders and the Captains marched out of the Royal Court, every single citizen of the Land of Light realized that something was going on;

Then everything fell on the shoulders of Elder Dong, to look for a way of addressing the anxious citizens about the scenario, as several rumors have begun to circulate throughout the metropolitan city called the 'Land Of Light'…

Some claimed that the King was dead and that the rest of the Elders were fleeing from the invasion of those who killed the King…

Some claimed that the Royals seemed to have conquered the Jok Kingdom and were thus, fleeing to greener pastures whilst leaving them behind to battle and suffer in the scarcity of resources…

There were some who claimed that it was the cause of a major disagreement between the King and his Elders which caused a significant friction, and that as a result, the King had banished all the Elders and Captains into the Dark and Grey Lands…

Several rumors were flying around and were causing massive unrest, to the extent that the exiles who were residing within the Grey Lands, caught a wind of it, and as a result, those who detest the way the harsh rule of the king had begun to form alliances amongst themselves…

They were gathering themselves and amassing troops from different angles of the Grey Lands with iron hands; those who agreed to join were given better treatment and opportunity for a better life, whilst those who refused were simply massacred!

Strangely, wars began to pop up everywhere within the Grey Lands even after the Season of War had passed…

The alliance called themselves the Forgotten Ones and they were growing larger and larger as time went by…

There were naturally more people in the Grey Lands than the Dark Lands, because asides the fact that the Dark Lands was unbearable atmospherically, it held little to no source of food whilst boasting of extremely deadly dangers lurking from every angle... 

Then as a result, except if stated by the King himself, all the exiled choose to live within Grey Lands, and as a result, they were all oblivious to the fact that, within the Dark Lands itself, lurked three major powers;

The Ji Tribe, The Qi Stone Mines of the Royals, and finally the Obuns who have become so beastly, they have no way of returning to their right state of mind, not to talk of becoming human once again…

Luckily, right in the middle of the Dark Lands, and at its highest point laid the Ji Tribe…

If one came here, the first thing they would notice was the insanely tight security patrols, and nigh impenetrable walls and gates; making it seem like the people are anticipating a major war…

Within the tribe however, it was a total contrast, as it was as peaceful as a thousand year old well…

There were little to no people moving around, and the only areas where any form of activity could be sensed were the Tribe Wall, The Forgery, The Farm, The Construction Site and The Training Are; every other part of the Tribe was as peaceful as peaceful can be…

"Everybody gather around…"

The joyful voice of an Elderly man resounded within the Forgery as all the workers in there gathered around, including the two who tested the Qi Swords the last time…

"You have all worked tirelessly for the past one month, and now, the sole products of our efforts are complete; for that I want to commend all of your hard works…"

Elder Smith addressed the workers who were either wiping sweat of their faces or drinking cool water; 

But this was not from the heat as there was more than enough ventilation, but from the sheer physical work they have done, from increasing their speed, lifting heavy objects as well as the mental toll all that stress induced on them;

"Due to this, we have managed to complete our work on time, and here they are…"

Elder Smith gestured to the side as three separate workers carried over three cases made of finely sculpted wood, and on opening it, all the workers gasped in wonder and shock whilst clapping their hands in delight…

They couldn't believe what they were seeing; they have never been allowed to see what they were working on, as Elder Smith had holed himself within a separate room within the Forgery where he crafted these products by himself with the help of the three who carried them out…

Firstly, it was to keep the method and blueprint with which he crafted them a secret, and secondly because of this moment…

The rest of the workers only melted the ores and transported it to his personal working space, where Elder Smith would simply receive it and shut the door in their curious faces…

There within the cases was a new set of bow and arrow;

A twin sword, and finally,

A Set of Amour which from first glance would fit Dara too well…

There were also smaller Qi Stones which numbered about twenty by the side;

"Master, was this the idea Elder Wang gave us two weeks ago?"

One of the workers asked in wonder as he gazed at the mini Qi Stones which were the size of a Ping Pong ball, and were glowing intensely;

"Be careful kid, that stone contains the power of a Peak Qi Creation stage, and if it explodes, it can deal the damage of a 2 Star Qi Sea stage, so be careful…" Elder Smith explained carefully…
