1 Forbidden Lands

" Waaaaaaa" in the small wooden tent you could hear a baby's cry that echoed throughout the forest. You could see a middle age man pacing around the ground near the tent with an anxious look on his face. If his enemies were to see the look on his face they would surely turn in their graves. He was Jin Tian, " The Blood Fiend" of The Divine Empire; he was famous for slaughtering one of the top clan of The Divine Empire's entire bloodline for offending his beloved Madam Cao in his younger days when he was trying to woe her. Jin Tian had several siblings but they were all killed in the fight for the throne by his elder brother- Di Tian. Jin wasn't interested in the throne so he never interfered with the power struggle and only single-mindedly pursued the peak of martial arts: however who would have expected that once his elder brother became the king of the Divine Empire the first decree he would pass was to send Jin and his family to the Forbidden land to "protect" the borders of the empire. Furious he went to seek his elder brother and demand an explanation. Di Tian felt threatened by Jin Tian since his cultivation talent surpassed his by a large margin, so he decided to send him to the forbidden land and hope that he gets killed by the poisonous mist and those magical beast kings. He didn't dare kill him in public due to the prestige of Jin Tian's master who was a tier 4 master alchemist; who went to the tier 1 Divine Draconic Empire to improve his alchemy. Nobody knew what happened inside the palace; all everyone saw is that when Jin Tian came out blood was leaking out his mouth and his face was filled with anger. The next day he left with his wife and their most 3 most trusted subordinates. He told the rest of his subordinates and his personally trained "Blood Troops" to scatter and hide away until he comes to find them. They solemnly nodded their head and shouted " yes master, we will await your return" because in their heart there was only their master, the glorious

" Blood Fiend". On the road to the Forbidden Lands, he gave his wife and their three subordinates a top tier 3 pill, " the myriad of poison antidote"; a rare pill that only top tier 4 master alchemists could refine. There was almost no tier 4 master alchemist in the entire "Divine Empire" due to all of them going to higher tiered empires to gain more benefits for their services and higher pill manuals being sold there. The only reason Jin Tian got those pills was that they were given to him by Di Tian to prevent him from dying from the purple mist that shrouded the Forbidden Lands. As to why he gave him such valuable pill he didn't know but he didn't worry that the pill was poisonous because when he went inside the palace he witnessed the strengths of Di Tian's mysterious subordinates; their strength probably exceeded that of the Empire's hidden ancestor.
