Sandhya came down from the mountain along with her squad and she was already greeted by a young man who is wearing a luxurious robe.

He also has a bunch of guards around him.

"Lady Sandhya, we heard that you are coming down the mountain to visit Makar's territory to solve a problem. If you don't mind, I would like to accompany you as I am going there myself. We could help each other if needed."

Sandhya looked at me with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

This guy is the young master of Bali territory.

The territory is very adjacent to the mountain. They are the first to move of course and she knew why he is there. And she also knew that this guy is not the only one that is going to be a bother to her.

And most of all she knows why they are all going to be on her beck and call. Kissing her toes.

Because she is the next heir of the Mountain temple. The one power that reigns over all of the planet and the realm that the planet is in. Her mother is the current head of that temple.

Usually, the kids of the Mountain temple particularly women don't marry or have any relationships with the rest of the powers. The woman usually picks someone from the level of their power from a different realm.

Whether they are marrying into their family or if that guy is marrying into the temple. But that is the norm.

But in the previous generation. Sandhya's mother broke the norm. Because she doesn't have to fulfill the role of the heir as she had a brother. But because of Sandhya's mother's decision their family broke apart, one thing led to another, and Sandhya's uncle died because of it.

Now, Sandhya's mother divorced the Makar family's head and came back to the temple. Took the place of the head while she was still pregnant with Sandhya.

Sandhya and her father barely ever interacted.

Of course, there is a reason for that.

The only reason Makar managed to marry Sandhya's mother is through deception and he was greedy for her power. So, when Sandhya realized it, she doesn't want any contact him. When she realized her brother was not that different either, he was also ignored by her.

Another reason she hates her father is that all these youngsters are after her because of the precedent he set. He is the reason for the only black mark in the history of the temple and she would have killed him long ago if not for her mother stopping her.

She cursed in her mind as he let the young master follow her.

They didn't move urgently. They actually took beast carriages as they traveled by road. And the entourage just kept on growing.

One city after another, over eight young masters joined the convoy as they traveled together to Makar City.

By the time they got there, it is already the next morning and they were stunned to see that the original route that was created within the forest was actually blocked with trees.

One of the young masters who is riding a horse beast immediately came to Sandhya's cart and said.

"Lady Sandhya, I will check it out and see what is happening. Maybe the news that the Makar family gave is about this."

"Thanks."

She replied without any emotion on her face. She barely cared.

The young master went forward with his soldiers and said.

"Just destroy the trees and reopen the path. If someone is blocking it, they would come by themselves."

The guards nodded and destroyed the trees in an instant. The young master turned to the rest of the group and said.

"Since there is no movement I will just go in and check out what is happening. If there is nothing we can just open the path and go to the Makar City."

None of the other people objected and he just kept on cutting the path down. As he did it slowly and steadily, he walked for ten minutes. He felt like he is almost there and soon he was right as soon as cut down a few more trees, a path appeared in front of him.

He walked out with glee. The only problem is that the grin froze as soon as he looked ahead. His guards were shocked too.

The young master and his guards are all behind the whole convoy. They just made a whole circle and appeared behind the convoy.

Sandhya noticed them the very second and widened her eyes in disbelief.

She got off the carriage and walked to them.

"What happened?"

The young master was embarrassed and flustered.

"W.. we went straight ahead and cut the trees. We were opening the path. But before we knew we are here and…"

He turned around and the path he came from was already closed down.

The rest of the young masters also heard this and they gulped in nervousness.

This is spooky.

They never experienced anything like this.

Sandhya got on top of her carriage and looked at the forest with her eyes narrowed. She raised her hand and a tornado of water conjured at her fingertips.

It raised tall and wide and it could be seen clearly from a mile away.

And with a single thought, it was shot towards the forest. The water jet hit the trees and destroyed everything in front of them.

But after the water destroyed around three hundred meters of trees, all of a sudden the trees grew like crazy. They tripled and quadrupled in their size as they blocked the water from coming.

The Forest Bear just stood behind the trees that just grew.

The water was deflected and by the time it was all cleared, the emptied forest was already full of trees once again. The grass is back, the vines are back and all the trees are back. It is almost like nothing has happened there.

Sandhya frowned. She raised her hand once again and wanted to attack once again. But at this moment, Sam's voice was heard from all sides.

"Hello, Miss. My name is Sam. I don't know why you are here and what you are doing here. But I do know that Makars are expecting some help from someone.

And if you and your entourage are that someone, please turn around and leave. For the next two days, the entry and exit to Makar city is closed. After two days, the path will be reopened and you can do your business as usual."

"Why don't you come and say it our face, you bastard."

The young master that was tricked by Sam yelled as he held the sword.

There was a silence for a moment and the young master yelled again.

"What? You are scared now? You better open the path and surrender now. Or you will be fuck…."

Before he could finish his piece, a massive pit emerged under his feet. He was dragged down by the vines that came from that pit it was closed.

Sandhya and the guards jumped there immediately.

But they were late

They searched around. They spread their senses to the maximum, but they couldn't just find him. Exactly three minutes later, the trees on one side cleared up and the young master came out from there.

He was ragged. His hair stood up because of the electric shocks, his bones were broken by the vines, he is purple with the poison, his body is corroded with shadow energy, half of the skin was burned.

And on top of all that, there are more than a dozen cuts bleeding out.

The young master was thrown in front of Sandhya.

"The poison will leave his system in an hour, it is not lethal. But at this hour, he will not be able to heal. You cannot heal him with anything. Potions, pills, a healer.

Just wait, heal, and leave. He will live and the rest of you will do as well."

"What is this? Is your specialty hitting people from hidden spots? Why don't you come face to face like he said? Or why don't you try and take me away like you did to him?"

A loud chuckle was heard.

Sam couldn't help himself.

"Miss, I know it might be hard to believe, but I am not the one who dragged him away and he wasn't taken away because of the provocation. He is just running his mouth too loosely and my friends couldn't handle it.

And trust me, if I had taken him away, your tone would have changed a few times over. Please leave, while I am still being nice."

Sandhya frowned. The confidence and calm in Sam's voice made her a bit hesitant. Usually, she would have just charged wherever she wanted in this planet. This is the very first time, she encountered a situation like this.
