The burly middle aged man who was fighting with the three immediately went to Nicholas the moment the trio was annihilated.

Looking at the muscular man's anxiety, Nicholas chuckled and said

"Calm down, Yishan. What you heard is true."

"R-r-r-really?? K-Kylo is alive????"

The burly middle aged man, Bai Yishan's eyes widened with surprise.

It was only when there were few close people that they would call Kylo by his name.

In front of others they would still call him with respect as 'His Imperial Majesty' like Nicholas did before.

Even though Bai Yishan's eyes became red and seemed like he was about to cry, he withheld it.

He started laughing loudly for few minutes

"Good! Good! Good! That's my little brother. I knew he couldn't die so easily. Hahahahahahahaha."

Nicholas knew that even though Bai Yishan never showed it on his face, he was the one who was saddest when they heard Kylo's reincarnation failed.

He started calming down after few minutes.

He then frowned and asked a seemingly important question

"How did you know he was alive?"

Nicholas smiled hearing this and looked at the people he came with.

He immediately called a calm looking man who looked to be in his late twenties.

His facial features along with everyone else he came with slowly changed. He was in disguise!

If it was before he would have easily seen through the disguise.

But now he was injured and his cultivation level was lower than the young man. It was impossible to see through the disguise.

After a moment although the young man still looked to be in his late twenties, he was much more handsome now.

His hair color, eye's color everything changed.

Seeing this Bai Yishan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Y-y-y-you guys are alive!?" Bai Yishan asked in his naturally heavy voice.

These guys were none other than Kylo's subordinates as well who fought for the Empire with their lives on line.

A year after Kylo disappeared, these guys disappeared as well.

The world assumed these people were dead, since they never made any appearance.

After all everyone in the war were gravely injured, as the immortal level enemy had said before.

Some were poisoned, some were crippled, some were internally injured and so on.

So everyone assumed them as dead.

And now they suddenly appeared with Nicholas, what does this mean?

The calm looking man, who was called upon by the old man smiled and said

"It's good to see you Eldest brother."

Seeing him, Bai Yishan simply patted his shoulder heavily before saying

"It's good to see you too, Zhongyue."

Yes this calm looking man was none other than Yan Zhongyue.

"Zhongyue never died." The old man smiled looking at them and continued

"He just faded away from the surface to look for the scattered comrades and also to recover slowly from injury."

"He just applied what we taught him since young."

Looking at Bai Yishan's confused eyes, Nicholas suppressed his urge to laugh and continued

"Deceive your friends to deceive your enemies."

"Don't look like that. Even I was surprised. Hadn't he came today personally, I wouldn't had known he was still alive."

The old man laughed looking at Bai Yishan who was staring at Yan Zhongyue in disbelief.

Especially seeing his injuries were really almost recovered.

It seemed what they taught him since young age truly paid off.

"That was why I was also late to come for the aid."

Indeed, Bai Yishan was here just to hold the trio back.

He was waiting for Nicholas Dumas to come and kill them.

But Nicholas was late because of Yan Zhongyue and other people's appearance.

And it was then something suddenly clicked him when Bai Yishan turned to Yan Zhongyue and asked

"You... felt Kylo right?"

Yan Zhongyue smiled and nodded before replying

"The {Soul Contract} I have with Big Brother Kylo is still active."

Bai Yishan couldn't help but gasp in surprise before asking

"Then why didn't you feel it till now?"

"Maybe because he was reincarnated right now? Or maybe because he was in some other space which blocked our contract?"

Yan Zhongyue replied immediately since he also thought of this before.

"Then... Can you contact him?" asked Bai Yishan hopefully.

After all one of the advantages of having a {Soul Contract} was they could communicate telepathically.

But he was bound to be disappointed. Yan Zhongyue shook his head and said

"He is somewhere very faw away and maybe Big Brother's cultivation level is too low right now to communicate with us."

Bai Yishan sighed in disappointment before looking at Nicholas and asking

"So... Are you serious?"

"About what?" asked the old man with a perplexed look.

"About executing them publically. After all that will be directly declaring war against Union."

"And even though I don't want to say it... with our power... we can't stand against the full brunt of the Union."

Hearing this Yan Zhongyue smiled and said

"We have made many plans. Even though our strategist team was include, one of them is still alive."

And after a second Nicholas continued

"Also you should remember this execution is not for Union."

"But for our comrades who are spread all over the world."

"To let them know it's time to rise again!" Nicholas said with a cold look on his face.

"Let them recover fast and unite with others as soon as possible."

"After all we wouldn't want to give Kylo such a rundown place once he re unites with us right?" he grinned.

"Yes we have to give Big Brother a big surprise in our reunion."

Yan Zhongyue quipped from the side in support of Nicholas Dumas as well.

Everyone chuckled hearing Nicholas' and Yan Zhongyue's words and nodded in agreement.
