Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1223 - Imperial Peacekeeper

"What do you mean? We have dispatched a lot of spies, many of them even living there for the past six years. However, none of them have reported anything suspicious until now." Daxia Ting frowned, asking, "Why? Do you have some memories that say otherwise?"

'Well, I already lied once, so might as well continue.' Krune sighed, gently summoning his Cloud Whale, shocking the other two as he explained, "My previous life was of Shi Jiang, the head servant of the Red Coast Town's Feng Family. As an Imperial Peacekeeper, I fought against the Demon there and was killed."

"What…that doesn't make sense." Daxia Ting gazed at the Cloud Whale, muttering, "How can such a power exist? This doesn't feel like power from an Imperial Arms."

"And… what does an Imperial Peacekeeper even mean?"

"From one generation to another, people would awaken the Cloud Whale in areas where there is something of great significance, related to the misfortune of the world. This is in an effort to stop them," Krune explained.

Daxia Ting gazed at the Cloud Whale, noticing that she immediately was at peace, feeling her mind relax upon gazing at it, believing Krune's words. "Then, does that mean…?"

"Yes, that might be the reason I became a Star Imperial Meister. However, they weren't the memories of my past lives, but those of the previous generation Imperial Peacekeepers," Krune replied. "Every Imperial Peacekeeper can remember everything from the previous three generations. That's how we can plan and keep the world in a peaceful state."

Daxia Ting gently touched the Cloud Whale, feeling that she was able to trust every word Krune uttered for some baffling reason. "I… never knew about this."

"Also," Krune spoke. "Shi Jiang killed five Demon Arms wielders five years ago and was killed by the Demon in the end. The Demon Arms wielders were the young masters and misses of the four merchant families of the Red Coast Town. Moreover, the person accompanying the Demon as his equal was Su Daiyu."

"Su Daiyu… but we thought she was killed by the Demon who also destroyed her Imperial Arms." Daxia Ting was speechless, slumping down on the nearby sofa as she massaged her forehead.

"This changes a lot of things. If… if Su Daiyu was the one that had become a Demon…" She frowned, muttering nonstop, "Then, it makes sense as to how the Demon is able to evade all our strategies. Of course, she would know about all of them."

'The situation has become a lot more complex.' Krune sighed, gazing at the three black dots on the map, frowning as he focused on the large black dot in the capital. Its size was bigger than the dot made by the Emperor, displaying that it was on a whole other level.

'A Star Imperial Meister is many levels stronger than a Sun or Moon Imperial Meister. Also, only they can face a Demon. But now, even after adding myself to the picture, there are just two Star Imperial Meisters. In contrast, there are three Demons.' Krune massaged his forehead, muttering, "This is troublesome."

"If we are careless, then our Empire might just collapse." Daxia Ting was worried as her earlier composure waned. Thanks to her Imperial Arms, she was aware of everything of importance that happened in their empire.

Thus, she was aware that thanks to the appearance of the two Demons, the strength of their Imperial Meisters was constantly waning. Over time, the difference would be enough to topple them completely.

Even though the Daxia Empire currently had enough strength to destroy all their enemies, it was only time when the two Demons grew in strength until they reached the one sealed in the capital. Or worse, they manage to destroy the seal and free it.

That would be enough to destroy their empire.

"Thankfully, we have our own powerhouses." Krune sighed in relief, causing her to look at him in surprise. Upon seeing her look, he smiled, saying, "Mother, do you remember Wang Hao and Chen Xue?"

"Your two friends?" Daxia Ting nodded, saying, "Of course, I remember them. Chen Xue has a formidable bearing that I felt like marrying her to you would be for the best. Your children have an even better guarantee of becoming Star Imperial Meisters in the future. The odds are even higher than what we had."

"I'd advise against that." Krune shook his head, saying, "Wang Hao should be the one marrying Chen Xue. Their bloodline is that important. After all, they are the sole Imperial Warlocks of this world."

"Imperial Warlocks…?" Daxia Ting was in surprise, wondering just what was up for her son to state so many things that puzzled her.

"Are you sure you can't sense them using your Imperial Arms?" Krune asked with a smile.

"Let me try." Daxia Ting frowned before focusing on Daxia Moon, watching the sheet of ice flicker constantly, beginning to crumble as veins popped on her forehead.

The dots flickered from red to blue to white to purple to grey to black, finally turning pink as the image turned erratic.

"Wife! Don't overexert yourself…" Liu Heng's father was just about to support her when Daxia Ting raised her hands, motioning for him to quiet down as she focused further, ignoring the droplet of blood that dripped down from her nose.

Eventually, the sheet of ice representing the map of the Daxia Empire turned calm. However, there were no dots there. Slowly, two tiny circles formed in the location representing the Liu Family's estate, slowly gaining in size before burning like two flames, golden in color.

"T-This is…?" She was flabbergasted, feeling a suffocating yet regal aura from the two dots, on par with a Star Imperial Meister.

'It seems my gamble was worth it.' Krune smiled upon seeing the scene, telling her, "Now do you understand? My predecessors gambled everything to create them."

"Haha! The heavens have blessed our Empire." Wiping her blood, Daxia Ting sighed in relief before looking at Krune. "Can you bring them here? There's something I have to say to them."

"Sure." Krune nodded, thinking to himself, 'With mother's help, it'll be easier to target the Demons. I was planning to contact those from the Royal Family anyway. But now, things have become more convenient.'

He then thought, sighing, 'I feel like my reincarnation into Liu Heng is the endgame of this series of trails. If I fail here, then there's a good chance that I, as Krune, would die permanently.'

'It's because I've already been reincarnated into the body with the greatest potential there is in this world.'
