(Part 7)

Xiao yin toddled behind Xianwu "Sister… what happened?" he asked politely. Xianwu giving a weak smile nodded in rejection. "Nothing…"

Xianwu and Shijei had parted towards right and left. Xiao yin walked forward staring at an opening of the kingdom "Sister." He called. "There seemed to be an opening here…" he added. Xianwu rushed to take a look. There was indeed an opening and upon seeing it closer the opening seemed to be a right one. Xianwu walked inside. Everything inside had turned into ruins except the plants that kept their beauty. Due to rain and sunshine, thorny plants and bushes seemed to grow even over some parts of a barren land.

Xianwu pondered "This place seem to be like a garden… however by its looks, only thorns and wild bushes grow here. There is no sight of any jade plant…" Interrupting her thoughts Xiao yin called "Sister, the jade plant or any plants or herbs that are in a category of lush greens usually grow with a presence of lots of water and love to hide under other plants shade to protect themselves. Even though, this place seem to be filled with a lot of plants. If this place has less water than it very unlikely that the herb can be found here."

"What Xiao yin said is also right… but where can I find a place with a lots of water in a barren land?" Xianwu mused. She walked around looking through the garden. The variety of plants seemed to grow a lot the moment they passed by. Xianwu pushed the plants aside to find the herb. Xiao yin stared around looking out too.

Gazing underneath a large flower, Xianwu heard slight trickle of water. Suddenly realizing a spring grew at the corner of the garden. "Xiao yin!" she gasped. "I found a spring!" she called. The two of them hurriedly walked over the spring. Underneath a pavement they could see a little fountain of water trickling and silver light shimmering beside it. Xianwu could guess clearly that it was the solidified ice.

The moment Xianwu went down a shadow flickered past them. Xianwu perked up in caution. "Sister? What's wrong?" Xiao yin asked. Xianwu pondered for a second replying back "Nothing, I think I just saw someone…" she guessed looking around. In an instant her hunch became clear when she saw plants rummaging. Xianwu climbed back up. Xiao yin stared at her in wonder. Xianwu turned around to face him "Xiao yin… would you mind grabbing it for me?" she asked politely.

Xiao yin immediately nodded going inside the pavement and grabbing the herbs. Xianwu followed the plants rummage, gazing right and left she pondered "Someone is following us… I clearly felt something but who…" she walked passing the walls. She could see a basement door. "An underground tunnel?" she thought.

Xianwu walked closer until hearing the rummage of the plants she turned around. Her eyes widening, she could clearly see a sight of a young boy. His age seemed to be of a mortal up to age of fourteen. His feet bare and his gaze petrifying covering himself with a damp black cloak. Xianwu retracted her steps, Fa ling stood out immediately.

However, the boy slightly shocked hurriedly scuttled inside the basement door. Locking himself. "A boy?!..." she thought. Xianwu who was confused was pulled back to reality by Xiao yin's sudden call "Sister, here they are…" he rushed towards her. Looking at Xianwu's confused expression he questioned "Sister, what's wrong?" Xianwu with a confused glance replied. "Nothing, did you find the herb?" she asked instead.

Xiao yin handed the herb into her hands. "Just like Shijei said… this is really like the jade herb…" she thought. Her gaze shifting towards the sky. "Looks like it's been a lot of time, let's go back to hongqi." She exclaimed. Xiao yin nodded.

"Shijei! Senlin!" she called inside her private transmission. "We found the herb and took it with us in a large amount. Let's head back." Shijei's reply was soon received by her "Really? Then come outside we are waiting." Xianwu nodded pondering "Ah… it's so good to be heavenly Supremes. The moment we call them the same moment they are all ready."

Grabbing Xiao yin the two of them made their way out. Xianwu suddenly remembering turned around to look at the old basement door. Xiao yin pulled her until she went back. All of sudden, the wind began to howl and black clouds took over the sky. The sun hid and a huge gale began to blow. "What is going on?" Xianwu questioned puzzled. Xiao yin too gazed above.

Soon it began to rain heavily and thunder struck over the ruined buildings. Xianwu turned around to grasp a look at Shijei and Senlin. Luckily, the two of them had already hidden themselves behind a large rock. Xianwu grabbing Xiao yin made her way towards them. "Shijei! Senlin!" she called. Gazing at Xianwu's sight Shijei yelled back "Xianwu! Be careful! This thunder is not normal! Maybe a heavenly Supreme is already here!"

Xianwu hid behind the rock and approached nearer and nearer towards them. "A heavenly Supreme?!" Xianwu pondered. "Shijei, would you do me a favor?" she called. Xianwu was only few steps away from the two of them.

However, the thunder struck mercilessly. "I wonder if Hongqi and the others are alright." Xianwu thought worriedly. "Come here!" Shijei called as Xianwu ran under his shield. Xianwu panted hard, she turned around to take a look at Xiao yin who stared at the sky continuously. "Do you have any idea who are they?" she asked.

Senlin and Shijei looked at each other anxiously "If my guess is right, the only one to control thunder like this is the Thunder controlling Supreme." Shijei guessed. Xiao yin gazing deeply spoke "Sister… there are two of them…" "Two!!" the three of them called together in shock.

Xiao yin turned around and nodded. Senlin who was surprised to the core asked "What are two heavenly Supremes doing here? The last time Supremes were sent to solve this case they never returned!" Xianwu looked at her sternly.

On the other hand, the gale grew wildly and dangerously constructing itself into a typhoon and thunder struck much more mercilessly, turning more the seven to eight buildings in ashes at the same time.

Shijei enhancing his defense barrier confirmed "The thunder controlling Supreme is the best friend of Brocade master. If there would be anyone who would be willing to come with him even to the death's door, it could only be her!" Xianwu mused "The Brocade master... if I remember correctly, she is Meizhen's sister and the Thunder controlling Supreme… I don't think I've heard of him..."
