(Medical Department)
As the medical attends scramble to treat all the injured soldiers, Su Ying went to check on Ying Pu. As Su Ying entered his room, Ying Pu was already dressed preparing to leave, "Where are you going?" asked Su Ying, curiously, "You're still in no condition to leave this place". Ying Pu showing a slight sign of irritation, simply ignored her plea, "I am fine, I have to get out of here", said he in a strong voice.
Su Ying stared at him as he picked up his sword, and noticed that when he picked it up, his body refused but he forced himself, "I suggest you just let me examine you light, just to make sure there is no further problems", said she as Ying Pu suddenly started to feel dizzy, and had to sit down on the bed. Su Ying approached him, and slowly moved her hand across his body, top to bottom, using her inner force to check for any disturbances and issues. "Do not worry, I won't tell anyone. Your secret is safe with me", said Su Ying as she examined him, and a feeling of relieve washed over his face.
"Okay, everything seems to be alright your free to go", said Su Ying as she finished examining him. She then ordered the attendee to bring him the release forms, so that he may sign them. At that moment an attended rushed into the room, "My Lady, the Prince of Su summons you". Su Ying gave a slight nod to Ying Pu and left the room.
Ying Pu with a look of uncertainty, stared out of the window into the clear sky. The attendant came in and handed him the forms to sign. Elsewhere something else is about to unfold.

"Elder brother, do you think father will be okay?" asked Xinyu in a distressed tone as he and Shangyu walked to Shangyu's personal residence. Shangyu then stopped and gently placed his hand on Xinyu's shoulder, "Father will be fine, he is the most powerful person in the three Holy Realms and the Divine Realms", said Shangyu with a reassuring expression, that ended with a warm gentle smile.
(Fengyong Palace)
They then continued to walk into the palace, being greeted by the guards stationed outside the main gate. As they walked into the main courtyard in front of the main hall, when they suddenly felt a strong familiar presence heading straight toward their location. They stared at each other, then in an instant a chilling warm, feeling of heat broke through the air in the palace and as they turned around they were shocked to see their, father, Bai Xuanyu, the Seventh Warlord and Supreme Commander of the Seventh Fleet.
In the shock they immediately bowed and greeted him, "Greetings upon your return to the Capital, father", said both of them in sequence. The entire air around them felt hot and filled with heat as if they were standing in an oven that's turned on its hottest temperature. Xuanyu stared at them, with straight face, there was nothing to read on his face about his intentions, but on could feel his presence, so much so that the guards at the main gate collapsed by his mere presence. As Xuanyu stared at them kneeling, Zhi'an and Taiyu arrived both standing in place as they felt the pressure of Xuanyu's presence but not as much as the children.
"My Lord, long time no see, it oddly hot and warm for such clear cool sunny sky don't you think", said Taiyu sarcastically as he stroked his beard. Xuanyu with no visible expression to read, released his inner force, and the feeling of heat faded away. Shangyu and Xinyu stood up from kneeling. "Insolent fool", said Xuanyu in hard stern voice, he gently swung his hand, sending a wave of red, yellow energy charging toward Shangyu knocking him down. Xinyu instinctively dodged and jumped out of the way, landing on his feet, he looked on confused and shocked at his father's actions.
Xuanyu then lifted Shangyu up from the ground, by moving his hand slowly, with Shangyu raised in the air, Xuanyu active an array. Zhi'an knowing the array, sigh with shock and looked at Xuanyu, who still had no readable expression, "Bai, why are you doing that, it will…", said Zhi'an confused before being interrupted by Shangyu's screams. "Bai, I command you to stop", ordered Zhi'an sternly but Xuanyu ignored him and continued with the array.
As Shangyu hang in the air, a red, crimson like energy flowed out of his body, that looked like swirls of fire, as he screamed in pain, "It feels like my skin is being peeled of my body", Shangyu thought to himself. As Shangyu continued to scream in agony, Xinyu knelt on the ground with his head, "Father please stop and spare brother", pleaded he but to no avail. "My Lord…", said Taiyu. Seeing that Xuanyu had no intention of stopping Zhi'an intend to stop him, but Zhi'an along with Taiyu was pushed back by Xuanyu using his inner force, "His still as powerful as ever", said Taiyu amuzingly.
At that moment those swirls of fire no longer came out of Shangyu, and Xuanyu stopped the array, and Shangyu fell to the ground on his side. Xuanyu finally let his guard drop and Zhi'an and Taiyu could reach him, "Why did you do that?" asked Zhi'an angry and annoyed but got no answer. Xuanyu then sent forth a strong wave of pressured, red and yellow energy that sent Shangyu flying into the main hall, and with a wave of his hand created a barrier around the hall sealing Shangyu inside. "Why imprison him, you already stripped him of his Phoenix bloodline", said Zhi'an frustrated and confused, Xuanyu then flashed off in the direction of Xuanfang Tower. Zhi'an annoyed along with Taiyu followed him, Xinyu got up from the ground and walked to the main hall's entrance but could not enter.
Xinyu looked at his bother lying on the floor helpless, "Brother don't worry I'll go and get help", said Xinyu as he flashed off.

"Will he be alright?" asks Jinhui as he looks over Jinxi lying in bed, "Yes, he will be as long as he rests", responded Su Ying calmly as finished examining Jinxi after he woke up. Jinhui rested his hand on Jinxi's forearm, to comfort him. "If you will excuse me, I have other patients", said Su Ying respectfully and left the room.
At the main entrance of the medical department, Mu Xuan and Mu Yuan was released, "Ahh finally, we're done being at this gloomy place", said Mu Yuan annoyed, giving a light shiver. Mu Xuan not hearing his brother looked at the sky and stopped an attendee walking pass them, "Do you know if Princess Chang'an is still inside?" asked Mu Xuan concerned, "No they moved her to the Princess's Palace", responded the attendee and moved along. Mu Xuan then flashed away, "He is just going to leave me hear", sighed Mu Yuan disappointed and flashed off.

(Shuijing Palace)
As everything unfolded Qinghuan was peacefully drinking tea, "What do you think of this tea?" asked she to her eunuch, "Your majesty, it has a strong taste, the kind you like, and a sweet yet confidant aroma", replied the eunuch. Qinghuan smile softly, "You know me will, Eunuch Gao".
"Great Grandmother!!!", shouted Xinyu as he ran up to the terrace where Qinghuan was sitting. Unbothered Qinghuan slowly turned her head, Xinyu fell to his knees. "Forgive me, your majesty I couldn't stop him", said the attendant who chased after him, "It's fine, you may go", said Eunuch Gao, signaling for the attendee to leave.
"Great Grandmother, forgive me for just barging into your palace but you must help me", said Xinyu out of breath and in a strong tone, "Insolent, how dare you", responded Qinghuan irritated and Xinyu lowered his head. "My Prince, you disturbed, her teatime", said Gao, softly. "Forgive me, please punish me", said Xinyu and placed his head on the ground. "It's fine, rise, why are you sweating like that, and rushing over here?" asked Qinghuan continuing to drink her tea.
Xinyu stood up, "Great Grandmother, Father Xuanyu came back and stripped elder brother of his Phoenix bloodline, and imprisoned him in Fengyong Palace, please help him", pleaded Xinyu. Qinghuan calmly looked at him, "I see". She then stood up from her seat, "Let's go", said she softly to Gao and Xinyu, "But elder brother?", said Xinyu confused and worried, "He will be fine, the barrier is protecting him", said Qinghuan in an unbothered tone.
Qinghuan then flashed off along with them both.

(Blooming Pavilion)
"My Lord", said a man, as he knelt, "Why are you here?" asked a young man, annoyed. "I am here at the request of your mother, my lord", said the man as he looked up, and there stood Ying Pu, with stern and aloof expression. "What does she want?" asked Ying Pu annoyed, "You are the heir of the Di Clan, so your safety is very important not only for the family but also the entire Eternal Realm stability", said the man, explaining as he stood up.
"No one knows about my identity, so tell my mother not to worry, Yangyuan", said Ying Pu in a caring tone. "Okay I will tell, Her Ladyship", said Yangyuan with warm smirk, "But my lord, remember, you must to get involved in anything while you're in the capital, you know Her Ladyship does not like the capital". "Yes, yes, I will remember and tell mother uncle Arceus, will be okay, but he keeps falling unconscious", said Ying Pu annoyed with a caring tone.
"I will, but I have sense that Warlord Xuanyu has returned", said Yangyuan surprised but Ying Pu seemed unbothered. "Go now!", said Ying Pu in a stern voice and Yangyuan flashed off.
