One may not know, but, the walls of the gate tower was made from the same material as the hammer gate wall protecting the entire city-like forte. How had Sung Sung gotten that strong? Before he could react, he was grabbed by the collar again and kicked up through the roof to the second floor.

Tie Nse looked round the second floor and saw disciples running away. Most stopped to see as Old Iba beat up Gul Fulren. With his spirit sense, he searched the second floor and discover there was nothing there. If he guessed right, the phoenix tears must be up on the last floor. He dashed towards Old Iba and grabbed a half dead Gul Fulren from the kicked up through the other floors.

"Halt!"

The Elders had finally arrived.

Tie Nse almost snorted. He was now at the top of the tower, their goal was already in reach. Besides, non of the elders stood a chance. He nodded to Old Iba, who nodded and kicked Gul Fulren into the nearest wall. He was sure that Old Iba had felt the energy from the phoenix tears in the next room.

The elders were beyond angry. These two were looking down on them, elders. When they saw that they had broken through the sacred room, they were beyond angry. They rotated their energy and attack. Tie Nse picked up the phoenix tears inside a crystal teal sitting in the stand at the centre and put it in his spatial ring.

"You dare?" an Elder bellowed, but they could not really do anything. Old Iba held a half dead Gul Fulren in one hand and beat up the elders with this free hand. He sung his fist through the air and a drum-like sound could be heard pounding through the air. The echoes bounced through the the bodies of the elders and attacked their spirit bodies.

They felt as though they had ran straight into a wall. What kind of technique is this? Their bodies refused to move, they were frozen in place. One of the elders vomited blood and fell to the ground. He pulled out an inscribed jade token and stamped into his puddle of blood. Old Iba frowned at this, so did Tie Nse.

They got what they wanted. It was time for them to leave. For effect, tie Nse called to Old Iba.

"That is a summoning token. We must leave. Drop the idiot. Even though I wish him dead, living as a cripple is what he deserves!" Old Iba dropped Gul Fulren and opened a portal instead of just disappearing. They had displayed the power of those in the soul seeking stage. As soul seeking master can not use the blink technique in the gate tower. Both of them stepped through to the other side. Before the portal closed, they saw an alluring woman in purple appear.

Gate Lady Fulren had received an emergency summon to return to the fate fort and rushed back. As she appeared, she saw a portal wink shut. Her eyes showed complete horror as she looked at the scene before her. he son was mangled in an impossible posture, bleeding all over. From the look of it, he was forever crippled. The elders were semi unconscious as some of them coughed blood. She could tell they had internal injuries. The sacred room was smashed all over and the phoenix tears were gone.

"Who did this?" she said through her teeth, but the elders were clueless. Disciples gathered and watched from afar.

"Who is it?!" she shouted so angrily, red veins popped around her temple.

"Lady Master... we heard young master call one of them Sung Sung." a disciple said timidly.

"Who is this Sung Sung?" she asked.

"We only know that he claims to be young master's sworn enemy. Young master had taken his sister as a child and when he attacked young master, young master cleared his entire village." one disciple explained. This was after all,a rumour. They all knew of the young master's behaviour, but no one had really ever said it out loud.

"So he enters my hammer gate and does this? Crippling little Gul is one thing... but taking the phoenix tears too... this boy must die. Send out a message! One hundred thousand spirit stones for the person that bring me his head!" she ordered.
