The Inheritance System

It has been more than a month since Liu Kang has left for the capital and Liu Kang has reached Lin Yu city right now. Lin Yu city is only two weeks away from the capital and is much more prosperous than Wei Gou City.

This is because Lin Yu city is in-between the capital and Shu Bei city, which is in another province. As such, many people will stop by Lin Yu city on their way to the capital for various reasons, such as restocking supplies or to take a rest from their long journey.

Furthermore, since Lin Yu city is so near the capital, some merchants who deal with unique and rare goods from other continents and provinces will end their trading route in Lin Yu city, as there are many people in the capital who do not mind making the trip to Lin Yu city. There are also some merchants who will buy these goods from them and sell it in the capital for them in exchange for a small token.

However, right now, the gates of Lin Yu city are closed and black smoke is coming out from within the city. Right now, Liu Kang has just found out that the governor is in Lin Yu city, and he brought the army with him and the order to seal the city was given by the governor.

Liu Kang who has been on the road ever since he departed from Yao Feng town, decided to take a rest in an inn in Lin Yu city, before heading to the capital but has unexpectedly run into the governor here. Liu Kang looks at the soldiers guarding the city gates and has a bad feeling for some odd reason but has already informed the soldiers that he is here to send a message to the governor so he cannot leave.

At first, he had no idea what to do, but he just decided to accomplish his mission of telling the governor of what had happened. it would be pointless for him to head to the capital since the governor is here and returning would not solve anything.

Soon, the city gates started opening and a soldier waved to Liu Kang and said "The Governor has verified your identity and wants to see you! Come with me!"

Liu Kang gets off his horse and follows the guard into the city but is shocked by what he sees. The prosperous city that he once knew is gone. When he first came to the capital, he had stayed for a few nights in Lin Yu city and it was a bustling and prosperous town. The streets were clean and the people were happy and there were street vendors everywhere. Right now, the streets are empty and people are afraid to even leave their houses.

Numerous soldiers are patrolling the streets with their weapons drawn and it seems like the city is under martial law. Some of the buildings are burned down and there is the stretch of burned and rotting corpses in the air. A few of the martial arts hall that he previously visited have been closed and sealed up by the military.

After an hour or so, Liu Kang finally reached the mayor's estate which has been requisitioned by the military for their own use and enters but what welcomes him is a series of executions.
