The Princess And The Lord

Within the Heaven's Gate sect, deep in a forbidden area that only Wei Zu Tian's confidants could enter, there was a large building within that building, there was a passage that would lead to a long, gray yet strange stone building that had no windows only a rectangular air vent no bigger than an adult's palm.

In front of the building, there were four guards wearing armor and holding iron spears, with large bodies and intense gazes enough to intimidate anyone who saw them, but Lao Min Na walked leisurely and the four guards did not dare to stop Lao Min Na, instead, they respectfully opened the door for Lao Min Na to enter.

Lao Min Na walked in without a glance as she walked straight and the door behind her slowly closed. The dim light from the torches that stick to the cold stone wall is the only light that accompanies Lao Min Na's steps, still, her expression remains calm.

On the left and right of Lao Min Na, there are rows of iron prison doors, sometimes there are banging and groaning sounds from inside the prison but Lao Min Na continues to pass by without caring as if she is used to it, but suddenly she stops at one of the prison doors. Lao Min Na turn her head at the door for a few seconds before a moment later she walked towards the door.

In front of the door, Lao Min Na slipped her finger into the hole in the door and turned it, soon the sound of metal shifting was heard, Lao Min Na pushed the metal door slowly creating an eerie screeching sound after that she closed the door behind while she appears calm and steady.

Unexpectedly, the room inside is not like a prison because it has a curtain, bed, table, and chairs although everything is very simple still everything is quite neat, however, the room is very dark, and there's only one candle on the table that illuminates the room.

At the end of the room, someone sat cross-legged on a wicker chair, Lao Min Na's red eyes shone in the darkness despite the lack of light she could see the figure clearly.

"Finally you got the power you wanted it seems your sacrifice was not in vain, soon you will be able to take revenge on Zhao Li Xin" Lao Min Na smirked viciously.

Suddenly a gust of wind threw everything in the room and hit the wall and shattered into pieces, Lao Min Na was unfazed she stood there unmoving with her arms crossing on her chest seemingly indifferent to the uproar before her.

"I will kill Zhao Li Xin! I will kill everyone she cares about and destroy his damn sect to the core, I will make the world forget him, I will destroy him without a trace!" the man screams as he spat his anger while hitting his fist on the wall causing huge cracks on the wall.

"Well, you will have a chance… Sanguan Wu Hao" Lao Min Na sneered with a condescending look towards Sanguan Wu Hao.

Sanguan Wu Hao is the second son of Sanguan Jin Sheng and also the half brother of Sangguan Wu Ci from a different mother which means he is also the half brother of Zhao Li Xin.

The loss of Sanguan Liu Wen, Sanguan Jin Sheng, and Sanguan Wu Ci was like a house that lost its pillars and in a blink of an eye, the glorious Sanguan clan crumble like a sandcastle, and the people who used to curry their favor distance themselves from them even the branch families that always used their names to gain benefit separated themselves as quickly as possible.

If that wasn't bad enough, Zhao Li Xin had burned their Manor later one of Zhao Li Xin's underlings used his authority to stop all business related to the Sanguan family soon after all former enemies of the Sanguan family that used to be quiet took this opportunity to launch an attack that caused the Sanguan family to lose almost all of their lucrative business in one night.

A few days later they also lost their other business so the Sanguan Family was not only unable to repair their stately home, they were also unable to pay for their maids and guards so they had to give up most of their servants and for them to keep a few servants they still had they must sell all their valuables object.

The elder of the Sanguan family meaning Zhao Li Xin's grandmother couldn't take this humiliation she then went crazy and liked to throw fits at the maids which caused many maids to resign.

In a short time, the wealth, fame, and authority that they had passed down from generation to generation disappeared like smoke leaving them nothing but an empty name.

Sanguan Wu Hao is a spoiled brat he is not as smart as Sanguan Wu Ci nor as strong as him, everyday Sanguan Wu Hao spends his time having fun in a brothel and gambling his fortune without ever practicing any martial arts so even though he has decent cultivation but without a solid foundation caused him to be extremely weak even against those who had the worst cultivation than him, without the protection of his family Sanguan Wu Hao became the target of many people, after all, he was never a likable person before.

The worse he got, the deeper his hatred towards Zhao Li Xin, which according to him was the reason why he fell from grace into this dirty pit, in his mind Zhao Li Xin was ungrateful bastar* he should be happy when the Sanguan family took him back but he hurt them instead.

However, Sanguan Wu Hao forgot it was because his father and grandfather's scheme that lead the whole family into this situation, he forgot that the Sanguan Family was the one who slaughtered the innocent Qin family in cold blood so they can control Zhao Li Xin, and after what he had done he still wanted to take advantage of Zhao Li Xin.

As a father and husband, Sanguan Jin Sheng never regretted what he did to Zhao Li Xin and Qin Mu Yi, even until he died he never regretted what he did maybe the only thing he regretted was that he didn't think that Zhao Li Xin and Long Ming were the same man.

Sanguan Wu Hao Also never took the time to reflect on himself he should have realized that if only he study hard and cultivated diligently also didn't act arbitrarily all his life he probably wouldn't be this miserable but Sanguan Wu Hao was too arrogant to admit his mistakes he just blamed everything on Zhao Li Xin.

Day by day, week by week the Sanguan family's situation got worse they had to leave Yun Dao city and move to the countryside where no one knew about the Sanguan family or the Hei Shen sect, but still, their condition only lasted a few days before Sanguan Wu Hao does inappropriately conduct to one of the influential families daughters because he was drunk.

The woman's family must be very angry, they then sent her servant to punish Sanguan Wu Hao, as a result, he almost die if only Lao Min Na's men didn't find him lying in the ditch.

It was then that he got an offer from Lao Min Na to become strong so he could take revenge on Zhao Li Xin but in exchange, he had to kill his family with his own hands. With Sanguan Li Ye, she had to do some tricks to make her kill her own mother, but Sanguan Wu Hao didn't hesitate he took the sword from Lao Min Na's underlings then he went home and slaughtered his whole family, simple and clear.

"When can I kill him?" Sanguan Wu Hao stepped out of the shadows and the candlelight shone on his once handsome face now filled with bluish veins popping from his face making him look terrifying.

"Soon…" Lao Min Na gives a brief answer.

<strong>"YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT!"</strong> Unable to contain his anger Sanguan Wu Hao lunged toward Lao Min Na while stretching his hand to her neck but before he could reach her, suddenly he was pressed to the ground as if a mountain fell on his body Sanguan Wu Hao was pressed to the ground...facing down unable to move.

"W...what did you do to me?" Sanguan Wu Hao screamed frantically.

Lao Min Na opened her palm and suddenly the joints in Sanguan Wu Hao's body curved in a strange way, the unbearable pain made Sanguan Wu Hao scream and writhe in pain but his body remained stuck to the floor.

<strong>"S...STOP, PLEASE!"</strong> he pleaded desperately, his face covered with sweat and tears.

Lao Min Na smirked and her blood-red eyes shone viciously, "Remember who gave you the power?" she hissed coldly while stepping her feet on Sanguan Wu hao head "You may think you have power like me but I am not like you… unlike you, I am bound to the one I serve, my body and soul while you are just a replaceable pawn so don't overestimate yourself." Lao Min Na clenched her palms and the sound of bones cracking was clearly heard followed by a loud scream of agony.

"This is a little reminder for you" the side of her red lips curled into a mischievous smile she then turned and walked towards the door before she opened the door she turned around again "Don't cry, you will get better soon isn't that one of the advantages of your power if not the death of your family will be in vain right?" She laughed with a sneer as she slowly closed the door.
