Kunlun Mountain Part 4 - The Return

Chapter 20 - Back to the Beginning

"I'm afraid you are too late Bai Qian, this body is mine and I am not going anywhere." Qing Cang smirked before chuckling low.  

"It is over Qing Cang, either leave willingly or we will relieve you of Mo Yuans body." she said ignoring her mother who had tried to take hold of her arm and Honghui who was now beside her looking confused.

'What do you mean Bai Qian?  He is Qing Cang?" Honghui asked looking at her and then back down at Mo Yuan.

"Well of course I am you stupid fool, do you honestly believe that dumb bastard would have been able to take over my entire Tribe and armies?"  Qing Cang laughed at him.  Then turning his attention to Bai Qian, Qing Cangs laughter suddenly rose to a chilling height.  

"Do you want to know what this precious body has been up to since he awoke?" he asked cackling at her.

"I don't care Qing Cang, nothing you can say will change the fact that it is over for you." she said moving closer.

"Oh? Then what if I told you, this body fucked half my harem in two weeks?" he screamed, before throwing his head back roaring with laughter at the shock on her face.

Suddenly and without warning, Honghuis sword reemerged. Then raising it high, he slammed it down so fast, had Bai Qian not thrown a bolt of energy to block it, he would have taken Mo Yuans head from his shoulders.

"He is not Mo Yuan Honghui." she snapped, before taking his arm and forcing him back.

Not only was he now convinced that the man before him was not Mo Yuan, but to have used his body so vilely and then to taunt her with it was so repulsive, Honghui automatically pulled her back from him.  But there was still one question he needed an answer to.  

"My Tablet! Where is it?" Honghui roared, as he tried to forced her off him.

But the laughter that fill the air and spread out through the forest, had Honghui so enraged, he threw her aside and stormed forward again, only to be met with Ye Hua, the boy he had once known but had forgotten.  Not only was he shocked at the similarities, he was looking back at him confused.  He could clearly sense a difference between both men, they all could, but until that moment, none had actually paid him attention.

"Who are you to stop me?" Honghui asked angry and ready to once again continue the battle.

"Uncle Honghui, I am Ye Hua." he said softly in a voice similar to Mo Yuans, as as he watched the boys arms raise to bow politely, the Empress took several steps froward to look at him.

"Ye Hua?" she asked softly with tears in her eyes.  This child she remembered so well, she had thought of him over the years, and several times she had tried to visit him, but the Skylord had always had a very good reason why she couldn't.  Telling her he wasn't there, or he was in training, or he was visiting the realms, but to see how closely he resembled Mo Yuan was a shock.  To them all.

"Well isn't this just lovely.  A nice little reunion before you all die." Qing Cang roared with laughter which instantly had Ye Hua moving to kneel before him.  

Saying nothing, Ye Hua placed a hand at the nape of Qing Cangs neck, before closing his eyes.  Feeling for the seat of his soul, he could sense his brothers presence, and the struggle to free himself.  With a magic belonging only to their twinship, Ye Hua sent him a message.  He needed his brother to stop fighting and place himself into a meditative rest, while also informing him that all would be well.

Deep within his own body, Mo Yuan heard his brothers soft voice, one he had heard many years before, a soft gentle lull that had once held long conversations with him when he was a little boy, it was a voice that eased his fears instantly.  He felt his brothers power and energy filling him with a sense of safety but also compassion, and in that brief moment, Mo Yuan also felt his immense love for him.  Slowly letting go of the struggle, Mo Yuan closed down.
