Kunlun Mountain Part 4 - The Return

Epilogue 5 - Honghui and Shao Wan 1

Taichen Palace

"I don't care if you have to rip this entire world apart, find him!" Di Juns voice shattered the glass panes of a nearby window from the sheer power of his anger and sending his guards flying out of chamber in a heated rush to avoid being hit by the shards.

"Di Jun.  Please calm down." Feng Jiu whispered frightened of the rage she had never seen from him before.

Taking several deeps breaths, he quickly drew her small frame into his arms.

"I'm sorry.  It's alright." he said gently down into her hair.  Her body was shaking and not knowing where Gaogui was either, she was afraid for them both.

"If they're not in the Ghost Realm where Zhe Yan felt their energy, then where could they have gone?  I have known Yan Zhi for years, she wouldn't lie." Bai Qian said frowning.

In truth, she actually didn't know where they were, so she had not lied when they came looking for the boys, though she did admit that they had visited and seeing as Di Jun had already opened his energy along with Bai Qian and Mo Yuan which she allowed them to do freely, they had no reason to remain in the Ghost Realm when it was obvious that they were not there.

It had been two weeks since that day and there had been no word from them.  Not even from the Mystics who Bai Qian and Mo Yuan visited.  Of course they could have gone to the Orchid Lands, but neither of them would have done that without letting one of them know, they were just not that irresponsible.  In fact, Bai Qian was positive they had not.

"So where the hell are they?" she asked no one in particular as she paced Di Juns chamber along with Mo Yuan, Zhe Yan, Bai Zhi and Bai Zhen.

"The Demon Realm?  Maybe they visited Lord Honghui." Bai Zhen suggested, though he along with the rest of the doubted it, neither boy would have gone there willingly.

"I have already spoken with him, he has not seen the boys in a very long time." Mo Yuan said, though the mention of that name once again had him wondering how he was faring.

He had in mind to visit with him again, there had been something terribly wrong with the man when he arrived in the Demon Lands.  Not only had he informed him of Shao Wans disappearance when he asked if he had heard from her, but he seemed a little too calm about it.  If anything, his demeanor reminded him of the day he had declared war on the Celestial Tribe all those years ago.  There was deadly intent in those dark black eyes of his and he had not at all felt comfortable being in his presence when her name was mentioned, but the world was still healing, and it seemed as if Honghui might still have a way to go.

"I suggest we split up and search every land." The Empress said as she entered Di Juns chamber having just returned from Qing Qiu to gather her people to assist them.

"I also suggest we do not make it known that they are missing.  If they have met trouble, then we do not want any potential enemy to know we're coming for them." Mo Yuan added which they all agreed with.

Though every single one of them were wondering who exactly had the power to overpower those two boys, and Gaogui especially.  They were not mere youth, they held a power that no other in their world possessed so for an enemy to be able to overcome them both would have to be exceptionally powerful and that meant exceptionally dangerous.

"Alright.  We start now and report back each evening no matter how long it takes." Di Jun said which had them all rising to go over the vast Realms, where the new borders began and ended and who their Leaders were.  By the time they had finished, it was already mid morning, so they did not waste any time in beginning what would be a very long and tiresome search for all of them.
