Kang Yun is found
I have faced death many times but this feeling was different. I felt cold and I couldn't move a muscle.
"you have been drugged with my paralyzed needle, you can tame our leader, but you can't tame me", the voice said.
Now I know where I heard it from.
"he is the one that threatens the men talking bad about the leader", I thought.
I tried to speak but I couldn't move my mouth. I can sense him moving when an intruder enters calling out to him.
"Healer cha, healer cha", he keeps calling. So he is their doctor but he is too young for a doctor in this village.
"What is happening?", he asked as he backed me and faced the intruder.
"We found another warrior in the forest, and he has gone rampant asking for the crown prince, The leader is asking for you", he said to him.
He quickly left the room to attend to the news he heard abandoning me there.
The effect of the drug is getting less over time and I can move my arms a little now.
"wait a warrior, is it Kang Yun?", I look back in surprise. I need to go and check but I can't move all my body yet.
I have a strong immune to poisoning but this one is strong and it will take some time to overcome it.
"I don't have enough time now, I need to go outside before they hurt him", I thought again.
I fell to the ground and started crawling to the door.
**Kang Yun POV**
The forest was a thick one, I was looking through every cave and hill to find my crown prince until I stumbled on a trap set by hunters but not ordinary hunters.
I cut myself loose in no time, I found some foottrack and kept following it. I made sure I was not been followed because the General men were in the forest too to find and kill its master.
Suddenly I met two children deep inside the forest.
"how is this possible, are you kids kidnapped or what are you doing here", I rushed to meet them but they started running back.
"my father always warns us not to go outside the village, now we have been seen by someone outside in the world", I can hear one saying as they keep running.
I stopped immediately as they ran a huge waterfall falling from a huge hill down to its bottom.
I walked carefully near the waterfall and couldn't hear any sound
"Are they the water spirit?", I asked myself.
I was about to take another step when an arrow flew towards me. I dodge it and hide behind a tree immediately.
"who is there", I asked.
A huge net falls on me immediately after I speak. And I can see four huge men holding it so I can't break through.
"they must have been hiding on the tree all this while".
"this one is strong", a new voice said.
They all look at me as to expect and order from him.
"We should kill him right away", the voice said again.
The huge men are about to bring their huge butcher blades when I cut the net and manage to move outside it.
They surround me immediately and are ready to attack me.
"he can not leave this place alive, you all know that", the voice said again. I was not able to see the face yet.
They are about to jump on me when I speak.
"I didn't mean no harm, I am only looking for my master", I said immediately.
"your master?", the voice asked.
"Yes, my master, his life is at risk and I guess he ran into this forest for safety, I only tried to save the kids, I meant no harm", I explained.
"please release me, so I can go on my mission", I added.
"This place can't be seen by anybody else in the world, we can't let you go too", the voice replied to me. The huge men are just staring at me and following any order the voice gives.
"I can see the mark you bear on your crest, you belong to the royal palace", the voice said moving close to me.
It's a man in his early 30s walking calmly to me.
"yes, please I don't want to hurt anybody, let me go", I begged again.
"bind him and bring him in, he must belong to the crown prince", he ordered and backed me immediately.
Immediately I heard the crown prince's name from his mouth. I cut the huge men down in a second without cutting any vital points.
I place my sword on his neck immediately before he turns back to me.
"take me to him now and if he is dead, I will kill every last of you", I promised him.
He started walking into the waterfall and with the huge men groaning in pain on the floor, I had no problem taking him hostage.
After the big waterfall, we climbed a small hill in front of us and I was surprised by what I saw in from of me.
A small world I never knew existed. As we entered the new village the kids ran into their home and guards surrounded me in a second.
"Now you know you can't step out of here unharmed", my hostage speaks.
"I can kill everyone here to save my crown prince, I said as I looked around and saw some familiar old faces.
A royal clerk sentenced to death standing in front of me, a grand prince sent to exile and whom everyone in the palace thought was dead stands in front of me too. A few royal guards and a few palace servants missing from the palace were here in front of me too.
"what is this place", I asked him out of shock.
"Welcome to the world beyond, the world of the dead", he answered.
"drop our weapon now Kang yun", a female voice ordered.
"how did anyone find out my name here", I was shocked.
"If you want your prince alive, drop your weapon", she ordered back.
"bring out his highness and we will leave now", I answered back.
"If you know me, you should know I can kill everyone here without a drop of sweat, so don't make me do it", I threatened.
A gentle refined man walked out a door and advanced to me. As he walked towards me I started getting weak. I noticed a burning herb in his hand.
My sword dropped to the ground as I could not move my hand again but every other person was moving easily.
I know I will overcome this poison soon but I was surprised. This poison is only used in Ming
They tied me down easily and was beaten severely but I couldn't even feel pain.
"stop he won't feel it", the refined man said.
"We should kill him", he said facing the woman. She is the leader.
She was about to talk when I heard the crown prince's voice.
"Kang.. Kang Yun", he called out.
I could believe my eyes, the crown prince crawling on the ground, I will cut off their heads
"Your Highness, what did you do to him, this is treason", I cried out. I broke the rope I was tired of and grabbed a guard near me on his neck. I can feel his life draining off but I won't stop.
"no stop they are my people now", the crown prince shouted to stop me.
"no, Your Highness, they deserve to die", I slam back.
"I command you to stop, this is an order ", the crown prince cried out as he stood up from the ground.
I am not this angry because of the crown Prince only, my wife, my father, and my mother have gone beyond, and my son is in the hand of a stranger. I have not been myself since the incident. I am too angry.
I drop him to the ground and run to my crown prince
"you are both strong to be able to overcome my poison this fast", the refined man said
"you poisoned the crown prince, how dare you even touch him", I tried to attack him but the crown prince held my hand and shook his head, meaning no.
I carried him, trying to exit the village.
"you cannot live here alive unless you are on a mission given by me, you are seeking death", their leader speaks at last.
"then send all your soldier to me and awaits their dead body after an hour even if they are 1000 soldiers, I will cut them down until the last soldier, so I will say you choose your next words carefully", I roar back at her and wait for her next order.
"bring out our elite soldiers and surround them, they must not leave the village and shut the gate leading out of the village", she commands.
I found a safe spot near me and dropped the crown prince there. Then I unsheathe my sword. I move some distance ahead so they can surround me only.
"Now attack me only if you wish to return to your family dead, I am a messenger of death from now on", I roar at them.
Another batch of soldiers surround me again, but I fear a little and it's for them because I have single-handedly killed more than this before.
