"Old Huang, why is the emperor bringing so many king spirits and super creatures with him?" In a forest, two humans spoke with each other in a hushed volume.

"The emperor's son, Thunder Devil King, was bullied. The emperor sought retribution, so he sent a small host of king spirits and super creatures to where the enemy was said to reside. They were all killed," the elderly man said.

"Who is strong enough to defeat, let alone bully, his son?" the young man said.

"I think it must be another king spirit," Old Huang said.

"It is a shame humans don't have someone that strong," the young man said dismally.

As they walked below the boughs, Old Huang said, "Why is there a clearing here? This was not here before."

The young man responded by saying, "Yeah, and look at this swollen tree. Should we check it out?"

"We're out here to work; we shouldn't be so nosy," Old Huang said. Then, the two walked away.
