"Father." Ayang's tears streamed down, "Father, you will be alright. I will escape with you from here right now... Let us journey to Daxuan and inform the Daxuan Emperor of our plight. We will reveal Flame's wicked ambitions, and he will surely offer us protection."
"It is too late, Ayang, you must listen to your father." Jin Yuka coughed weakly twice, his hand caressing his daughter's face, "My body has been completely drained by the Divine Incense. I am unable to move. Therefore, your immediate task is to find a way to depart Miaojiang and seek refuge in Daxuan. The King of Miaojiang receives his appointment from the Daxuan Emperor; this situation will not escape his notice... As long as the King's Seal remains, Miaojiang will endure..."
More importantly, Miaojiang's vastness and intricate terrain present significant challenges. Even though the Flame Sect has established a presence here for a decade, they are fundamentally outsiders to Miaojiang. The unique poisons, the deceptive insect life, and the treacherous swamps of Miaojiang remain beyond their full comprehension, leaving vast areas as forbidden territories to them. It is precisely because of these factors that he remains confident Miaojiang will not fall.
"But, Father..."
"Go now!" Jin Yuka's body convulsed once more. He pressed the box containing the Divine Incense into his daughter's hand, "This Divine Incense must also be delivered to the Daxuan Emperor. Warn them of its true nature. Depart swiftly, for time is of the essence."
"Father." Ayang clung to Jin Yuka's hand, her heart unwilling to let go.
"Go!" Jin Yuka pushed his daughter away with a force that belied his frail state.
"Rest assured, my King." Ran Lei immediately knelt on one knee, bowing deeply, "I vow to protect Princess Ayang with my life. She shall undoubtedly inherit the throne in the future." With a swift movement, he rose, took Ayang by the arm, and departed.
"Father..." Ayang wailed, wishing desperately not to leave, yet she was carried away by Ran Lei's firm grip.
Witnessing his vanishing daughter, Jin Yuka managed a faint smile. He struggled to prop himself up on his throne and then summoned everyone remaining.
Jin Yuka was the father of seven wives, four daughters, and three sons. Ayang's mother, his principal wife, succumbed to illness several years prior. Another wife tragically passed away during childbirth a mere six months ago. Currently, five members of his family remain alive.
"Your Majesty, what troubles you?"
"Father, are you feeling unwell?"
"Silence, all of you." Jin Yuka raised a hand to quell the commotion, "My time is drawing short, but before I depart this world, I must impart a crucial truth to you all..." He then concisely relayed the dire situation, explaining, "Flame has now revealed its true, treacherous nature. Therefore, you must all flee without delay."
"But Father, what of the King's Seal?" Jin Luo, the eldest son, inquired, his voice laced with concern.
"Can you truly protect the King's Seal?"
"I..."
"Leave now! Take all the gold and jewels you can carry." Jin Yuka pressed a hidden mechanism on his chair. A section of the wall slid open, revealing a large chest overflowing with gold. "The King's Seal is no longer entrusted to any of you. If you manage to escape, they will not pursue you relentlessly. Go! It will soon be too late."
A shared glance passed between them. Without hesitation, they surged forward, seizing handfuls of gold and stuffing them into bags before making their hasty exit.
Jin Yuka gazed at the now-empty chest, a sigh escaping his lips as his eyes slowly drifted shut.
Although the Flame Sect harbored suspicions that Jin Yuka was beyond any further schemes, they could not entirely dismiss the possibility of hidden measures. Consequently, they dispatched Moxie with haste. However, upon approaching the vicinity of the Royal Tribe, Moxie detected an anomaly. He hastened his pace towards the elevated stilted dwellings, only to be met with a shocking sight: "Jin Yuka?"
