Way of Heaven (Chapter 4)

Back in Sun's place..
Things took a turn, the Prince and his Royal Guards had suddenly appear! Sun knew that the rescue had their identity taken and the Prince was furious.
The Royal Guards took orders and moved on to apprehend the culprits. Sun began to focus Ki (basic energy) on her palm and summoned out Heaven's Bow. Energy particles begin to form into the shape of a white arrow as Sun pulled the bow. She released it into the sky just in time and rained down thousands of frosted needles. The Royal Guards were taken down.

The Prince too gather his Ki and formed the Silver Serpent Staff of 9 Poisons. A 20 foot Silver Serpent was then form from the ground and threw itself against the group.
Everything was too fast for Sun to react, suddenly a white figure with golden hair appeared. The man striked the ground with his luminous green pole and sprouted out a wall of gigantic trunks. The group immediately took flight and escaped towards the outskirts of Sun City.

Seeing that all was safe, the man in white led them on a forest path. He then took off his mask and revealed himself as a very handsome man of the West.
"My name is Joak-Im (yo-ark-eem)." He said. None of them know who he was and thus Joak-Im revealed more of his identity.

Joak-Im was born into a Persian Royalty in the western part of China. But at the age of 12 he had lost his house of 44 members to the Prince and his henchmen.
Kong (who had been secretly tailing the Prince) then rescue Joak-Im before the henchmen finds him. Kong brought Joak-Im to Master Cho, who then became the youngest disciple of Master Cho.
Joak-Im's identity and presence was kept a secret by Kong and Master Cho. Joak-Im was very gifted. He grew up as wielder of the Jade Bamboo Pole and became a secret scout of Master Cho, looking for suitable wielders of the Fire Demon Blade.

And the only reason why he could reveal all these, is that How is the chosen wielder of the Fire Demon Blade..
