Three World Swordsman
133: Song He heads for the Wu Empire
After inserting the Dagger into Song He's robe, the Black Devil slowly returned consciousness to Song He. He was back in his Black Trident.
So too with the other demons. The atmosphere became silent as Song He just sat in silence and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Young Master, what's your next plan?"
Mo Duan, who was a citizen of the Song empire, was respectful towards Song He who was the Crown Prince of the Song Empire. It was different from Shin Mu and Huang Lun who were the people of the Wu Empire.
They called out to the young master because of the existence of the Black Devil who chose Song He to be his master, or rather the container for him to make his Spirit place.
"Come on, I actually want to return to the palace and start immediately devising plans and preparations for the attack, But the Black Devil wants to find the Green Devil and a female swordsman for the Black Fairy Spirit container."
Song He revealed the results of his conversation with the Black Devil. Mo Duan fell silent for a moment before expressing his opinion.
"Young Master, it seems like we should indeed look for the Green Devil first, as well as a female swordsman. Once our strength is complete, then we formulate a plan."
Song He nodded his head, So did Shin Mu and Huang Lun., both of whom seemed to agree with Mo Duan's proposal .
"Alright if that is the case, tonight we leave the Wu Empire. Grandfather Shin, do you have the acquaintance of a female swordsman who can work with us?"
Hearing Song He's question, Shin Mu fell silent for a moment while remembering who he thought they deserved to cooperate with.
"Teacher, how about we go to the Black Flower Sect, don't their Matriaks have quite high abilities and have quite a number of members?"
Huang Lun voiced her opinion, which greeted Shin Mu's wide smile.
"Truely young Master He, the Matriak of the Black Flower Sect seems like the right figure for the Black Fairy to channel her power."
Song He seemed happy to hear Shin Mu's words but his countenance changed slightly when he realized that a Matriak was certainly a wrinkled grandmother.
In his heart Song He cursed the Black Devil which forced him to look for the container figure of the Black Fairy. The figure will always be with Song He wherever he goes.
"Grandfather Shin, isn't there a young Matriak disciple who deserves to be next to me?"
Song He showed a disappointed face when he imagined he would always be alone with a Grandma.
"Hehehe ... Young Master don't worry about being over fifty years old, but the appearance of the Black Flower Matriak looks like a twenty-year-old girl."
Song He was surprised by Shin Mu's description, indeed the inner power can make a person's face look much younger, yet it is not enough to make a nearly sixty-year-old grandmother look like a twenty-something girl.
"real Cake? how did that happen?"
Shin Mu chuckled at hearing that, it showed that Song He did not yet have much knowledge about the martial world. It was only natural considering that Song He spent a lot of time inside the Palace.
Shin Mu then explained that the Black Flower Sect was a collection of heartbroken women who studied martial arts and founded a Sect.
The sect was founded thirty years ago by a single woman who is now almost a hundred years old. He had a talented disciple who was now the Second Matriarch of the Black Flower Sect.
The figure who founded the Black Flower Sect was nicknamed the Black Flower Goddess. Black flowers are a deadly poisonous flower.
But the Black Flower Goddess was able to make it into a deadly weapon with her abilities that were at the level of a Late-stage Hermit Swordsman.
There are special conditions and rules for those who want to join the Sect that in addition to still having chastity, they are also forbidden to fall in love with men.
If they broke the rule, they would be expelled from the sect and their inner power would be annihilated.
"Grandpa ... Are they willing to join us given that there is no profit they get?"
Song He's question was answered with a faint smile by Shin Mu. While Mo Duan looked astonished at the fact the ignorance of Imperial Crown Prince Song was so great.
"Women are easily subject to money. For that Young Master must prepare. At least a Hundred Thousand Gold Pieces to make them want to cooperate with us."
Song He was stunned to hear Shin Mu say, One hundred Thousand is not even a little money even though he is the Crown Prince of the Song Empire.
"Is there no other way but with the money Kek?"
Song He still felt that One Hundred Thousand Gold Pieces was a high price for such a mutually beneficial cooperation.
"Other paths are of course with violence. If they refuse, we can force them to fulfill it."
Song He nodded his head, agreeing to the plan. That night they rushed west to the Wu Empire region with two important objectives.

Emperor Wu Jian and Yu Lian arrived at the Wu Capital Chang An after two days of non-stop travel. Emperor Wu Jian wanted to immediately discuss the news he had received earlier.
General Yu Ma and General Lin Yung greeted them at the Imperial palace with all the ministers.
"How is General Ma's situation?"
Yu Ma immediately answered the Emperor's question after saluting him.
"Your Imperial Majesty, the news from our spies says, that there have been at least dozens of sects of black and Neutral sects joining under the alliance formed by Song He."
Yu Ma also explained that There are at least a dozen thousand warriors whose strength is above the strength of the soldiers of the two empires.
Moreover, the number of Song imperial troops that were slightly more than the Wu Empire should also be of concern to them.
Hearing this, Emperor Wu Jian's face looked gloomy. The tens of thousands of warriors formed by Song He became their own dilemma.
"General Ma, General Yung, how do you deal with the tens of thousands of warriors of the alliance?"
Emperor Wu Jian felt he could find no way out to face the Swordsman Alliance formed by Song He. He also asked these questions to the two Great General of the Wu Empire.
"Your Majesty don't worry, we both have plans, just that this will cost a lot."
"General Ma, tell me what the plan is? regarding the cost of that long for the sake of the security and peace of the Wu people, I'm not reluctant to take it out."
Everyone present in the room, smiled happily at Emperor Wu Jian's words.
"Let us both visit the white and neutral sects that are in the Wu empire to join our forces to maintain the peace of the Wu Country."
Yu Ma also explained that he knew many sect heads from white and neutral schools who might want to cooperate with the Palace. It was just that the amount of compensation that had to be given, Yu Ma had yet to know for sure.
Just as Yu Ma was about to explain the more detailed information, a soldier entered in a hurry to make Yu Ma almost snap at him.
However Emperor Wu Jian immediately raised his hand, looking at the frightened soldier's face.
