The Dawn Of The New World

Chapter 92: Return

The elder and the princess both got there at the same time when they heard the sound coming from inside the room.

*Boom*Boom*

At first, only the cocoon was moving, but when everyone got back, it was the entire room that was vibrating. With every booming noise, a small earthquake was generated. The entire room felt like it was in a world of its own.

*Boom*Boom*

The earth moved again. The granny's expression changed for the worst when she saw the cracks on the cocoon. It looked like whatever monster that was in it was about to break out finally.

*Boom*Boom*

It boomed again but this time the earthquake wasn't limited to the room and started spreading outwards.

"What the hell is going?!" the princess asked with a worried expression.

"Is it an illusion?" she asked after looking around. How was it possible for there to be an earthquake limited to such a small area.

"No, it is definitely not an illusion. The formation would have been activated if it was. The ground is moving," she said looking around. There were cracks all over the room and were slowly spreading outward.

After thinking for a couple of seconds she made up her mind and finally gave the order, "Call the high elders! Awaken the Matriarch! If it continues like this then the entire cavern will collapse."

"Yes!" The guards shouted and left at once.

*Boom*Boom*

This time the entire area within a radius of 100 meters felt the tremors. Many people were alarmed and came rushing out. There was no fault line anywhere near them so this was not natural.

*Boom*Boom*Boom*

A third boom sounded and a chunk of the cocoon fell off. The granny narrowed her eyes but couldn't see the insides no matter how hard she tried.

"Everyone get back!" she shouted and dragged the princess more than 20 meters away.

"What is going on?" suddenly several loud noises sounded from all around the clan as five people appeared on each side of the room. They were floating in midair and everyone present could feel a powerful energy being emitted from their bodies.

"High Elders!" they all bowed respectfully after seeing them. These were the clan's most powerful living ancestors currently present living there.

Although one would expect them to be wrinkly old men, but all of them looked to be between the ages of 40-60 years old. They had patches of white hair here and there that made them look older but the energies within their bodies were extremely powerful and vibrant. No one would be able to tell if they claimed to be in the prime of their lives.

Three of them were women and two men.

"Explain, what happened? What is that thing?" asked one of the women that looked to be the oldest as she looked at the granny. She had a stern expression on her face and gave people the expression that she was extremely strict.

"Replying to Elder, that is-"

*Boom*Boom*Boom*Boom*

Just as the granny was about to explain, the booming sound came again and the formation surrounding the room collapsed in an instant. The tremors spread more than a thousand meters this time.

The high elders turned serious and they immediately jumped into action. One of them pointed his hands out and a formation appeared out of thin air. It surrounded the room once again and stopped the cracks from spreading any further.

Another one started chanting something and the area around the room lit up with a vague blue glow.

The three women surrounded the room and let out massive amounts of Qi to cover everything within a five-meter radius around the room. Not even a speck of dust could escape from this formation.

*Boom*Boom*

The noise sounded again but it was perfectly contained within the formation. Slowly more and more people came over and stood on the outskirts looking at what was happening.

"Mother!" The matriarch finally reached as well. Her hair was messy and there was dust all over her clothes.

"Child, what is going?" asked the oldest lady from the high elders.

"Mother, its a long story but that's a human from the Mei kingdom. I used the great ancestor's recipe to treat him to make a deal with the old demon," the Matriarch explained respectfully. This old lady was the mother of the current Matriarch, the princess's grandmother.

"What?!!" the expressions of all the high elders changed at once.

"When did you use the recipe? How long has he been like this?" she asked with a grave expression.

"A-About six weeks," the matriarch replied confusingly. Why was it such a big deal?

"FOOL! Why didn't you ask any of us before going through with this?!" the old lady was livid. Matriarch's legs shook. Her mother was extremely strict and had beaten her half to death several times. She was truly fearful of her.

"I-I'm sorry mother, I didn't know it was anything bad," she said with a quivering voie.

"Harumph," the old lady looked away in anger.

"Kill this thing, we can't let it get out again," she said to the other elders who all nodded in response.

"M-Mother, he is a soldier of the Kingdom directly under Li. I gave him my word, we can't do anything to him," the matriarch shouted from the sidelines worried her mother would do something bad. She obviously didn't want to tell her that her daughter, princess Yun was the one who had made the deal.

"If we don't kill him right now, he will probably slaughter hundreds of thousands later on. Step back, you don't know the full story," she said without turning her head. "Why did you have to go and use that damned thing..." she murmured but the matriarch still heard her.

"Was something wrong with the recipe?" she thought inwardly. "Looking back, everyone who used the recipe either died in the process or disappeared later on," she remembered.

Even the last person that had used it disappeared. He was extremely powerful but was one day gone without a trace, and no one went out to look for him. Back then she didn't give it much thought because she was very young at the time but now the more she thought about it, the worse her expression got.

"There is definitely something wrong with the recipe..." she thought...

*Boom*Boom*Boom*Boom*Boom*Boom*

The booming noises came one after another and woke her from her daze. The cocoon was falling apart piece by piece.

The high elder's all looked at one another and then the old lady in charge.

"Kill," she said without hesitation. The formation started closing in and destroyed everything in its path.

"Mother!" the matriarch shouted but the old lady paid her no attention.

*BOOOOOOOM*

A massive shockwave spread out with the cocoon as its center. The formation dimmed for less than a second and continued closing in again.

"Stop," the old lady said calmly. The shockwave caused all the rubble and dust in the formation to fly around, and since it couldn't leave the bounds of the formation, it was all contained inside and nothing could be seen.

*Badump*Badump*

A faint noise came from inside. It wasn't loud but everyone within a radius of 500 meters still heard it like it was right next to their ears.

*Badump*Badump*

It sounded again. "What is that?" whispered one of the guards while holding his breath.

No one made a single sound. It was so silent that you could hear a rat fart. The dust slowly settled down and a figure could be seen standing in the middle.

The rock where the coffin was placed on was completely destroyed. There were black charred pieces of the cocoon everywhere.

"I-Is that him?" asked the princess with a beet-red face. The dust settled completely and everyone could clearly see the figure. It was a naked man of about 8 feet in height. His body seemed to be chiseled out of white jade.

There were no blemishes on his skin, and it looked smoother than a baby's bottom. Even some of the females in the surroundings were green with envy.

His long black hair were coming down to the abdomen. But even with all this, he didn't look feminine at all. His body was extremely lean.

There was a little steam coming off of his skin as he stood there in a daze.

".....I'm.....hungry," a voice came from under the hair that covered his face completely.

"E-Eh? Hungry? Did he say hungry?" the princess who was still in a daze repeated his words while pulling on the granny's sleeve.

"Hao Xuan right? I am the Matriarch of the spider clan. The great general Li sent you here to be treated. Do you remember anything?" The matriarch woke up from her stupor and asked while trying not to look at his lower body. Anyone could easily tell she was blushing which only made her more attractive.

Hao Xuan's eyes constricted. "Remember.....? Yes, I remember, everything," he said with clenched fists. People could hear his muscles stretch and joints move. It sounded like leather being pulled.

"Kill him!" the old lady suddenly gave the order, startling everyone.

"Mother no! He is fine, please stop," the matriarch pleaded upon hearing her mothers command. She tried to walk into the formation but more than four elders were powering it, how could she alone interfere?

"Kill? Me? You?" suddenly Hao Xuan lifted his head and met the old lady's gaze. His eyes were glowing blue.

The lady frowned upon seeing his eyes, but before she could do anything else, Hao Xuan's entire body gave off a burst of steam. Everyone could hear his muscles contract and expand.

"You? Kill me? Why?" he suddenly asked with a casual tone and slightly bent his knees.

The matriarch's expression changed as she yelled, "STO-" but before she could finish, with a boom the ground under his feet cracked and he appeared in front of the old lady in mid-air.

His entire body was surrounded by black lightning snakes that kept wriggling around. The old lady was so surprised that she zoned out for a few seconds. She could tell that he wasn't at the profound realm, yet here he was standing before her more than 15 feet in the air.

He closed his hand and made a punch. Every single movement of his gave out loud noises. Without saying anything else or using any special technique, he threw a simple punch straight towards her chest.

The old lady's face finally contorted in anger as she used her bare hands to block the incoming fist.

*BOOOOOOOOOOM*

A sonic boom sounded and the lady was blown out of the air as she crashed into the ground underneath.

"You? kill me? How?" he asked once again while still floating in mid-air.

"Wha-" everyone was completely stupefied. The other High Elders had a change of expression as they took out several different weapons, but before they could attack, Hao Xuan appeared in front of the man that was controlling the formation and kicked him with his right leg that looked more like a whip.

*BOOOOM*CRASH*

With another loud sound, that man also crashed into the cavern wall more than 300 meters away.

"What the fuck!!"

"GUARDS!"

Hao Xuan stood there in mid-air in a daze after kicking the man away. Looking at his hand with a frown, he mumbled, "What was that?". Both times he attacked, there was something around his fist. He closed his eyes and tried to remember but abruptly opened them again within a few seconds. Now they were back to their original green color.

"Oh shi-" his eyes constricted as whatever power that was holding him up disappeared and he fell straight down like a rock.
