Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 139: Departure to Tiankong Mountain
Time quickly passed. Including today, already fifty days Zhang Yu stayed in the main building as a guest of Saturn. Heaven's fight was five days away, but Liu Bei and some of Saturn's elders decided to leave early for Tiankong Mountain.
Now all those who had left were already preparing in front of the main building with three horse carriages. There were at least twenty people including Liu Bei, Liu Cang, Liu Mengqi and definitely Zhang Yu.
"This is the list of heaven-fighting participants after the final meeting three days ago. I got it from my father," Liu Mengqi said as he stuck out a hand handed over a scroll.
"Thank you." Zhang Yu immediately opened it. He's wanted this list for the past few weeks. But it was only obtained when Great Lord Liu returned from the final meeting between representatives of the great powers.
The first thing to be sure of was the Xiao Clan. Were any of those participants who were representatives of the Xiao Clan. When he discovered the two names with the Xiao clan, Zhang Yu could not hide the enthusiasm in the look on his face.
"Xiao Yuze, Xiao Yuwen, they are both representatives of the Xiao Clan." Zhang Yu felt this information was enough to ensure the Xiao Clan would come to Tiankong Mountain.
After the two heaven battle strands did not participate, Zhang Yu was worried that this time they would also be absent. But seeing these two names made him relieved.
Liu Mengqi noticed Zhang Yu who looked so serious. Surprisingly Zhang Yu suddenly smiled and looked like an insane person.
"What's so funny?" Liu Mengqi approached and glanced towards the scroll in Zhang Yu's hand. But other than the list of representative names, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
"Don't you be afraid and not have the confidence to fight in that fight?" liu Mengqi said in a mocking tone.
Zhang Yu sighed then kept the scroll. "There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll fight that fight."
Liu Mengqi laughed somewhat doubtfully as he underestimated his words. "You don't have to feel burdened. Even if you were to be knocked out in the first round straight away, we wouldn't be so cruel as to ask for compensation."
Zhang Yu did not speak anymore. He stepped into the horse carriage after hearing Liu Bei's call from the front horse carriage.
"Xiao Qi, quickly enter. Don't you want to come?"
Liu Mengqi quickly caught up with Zhang Yu. The two of them occupied the front horse carriage with Liu Bei and Liu Cang. The other elders and a dozen were on horse carriages number two and three.
"Zhang Yu, are you ready?" ask Liu Bei.
...
While elsewhere. Precisely a room lined with barriers, two women were confined there without being able to do anything. One was in his late forties, while the other was still twenty-two years old.
"Until when are you gonna be like that? By refusing to eat they will not let you go either. You're just torturing your own body" the purple-clothed woman said to the younger woman.
But the younger woman was just unmoved without caring about the input made for her.
The purple-clothed woman sighed, then walked over. "If you don't want to get married why did you come to the Xiao Clan? You should have refused when they brought me here."
"Can I do that? This promise existed even before I was born. If I refuse to come, it's no guarantee they'll hurt my parents."
Oh...
"You're a little girl with a big soul. By the way, what's your name? I forgot to remember it," said the purple-clothed woman with a soft laugh.
"Xuan Yin," Xuan Yin replied after a moment of silence.
Xuan Yin felt extremely cared for. He was silent as he stared at the tray in front of him, then asked this woman. "Isn't Aunt from the Xiao Clan? Why are they keeping Aunt in this room?"
The purple-clothed woman only smiled wryly. "That was decades ago. So don't talk about it."
"Tens of the year?" Hearing this Xuan Yin was dumbfounded. He did not think the Xiao Clan was so heartless as to lock someone in a room like this for decades.
"Of that, you eat. Don't think too much." The purple-clothed woman walked back to her place which was on the other side of the room.
Xuan Yin looked back at the food in front of him. At that moment the door of the room suddenly opened and revealed a young man wearing brown clothes with a belt bearing the sun.
The two guards outside exclaimed quite loudly. "Young Master Xiao Yuze entered the room!"
Xiao Yuze, the wide-eyed man with a stern face was circulating his gaze looking for the whereabouts of Xuan Yin. After finding him sitting in one corner of the room, he stepped in and walked up to him.
"My beloved betrothed, your future husband will go to compete in the battle of heaven. Pray for me to get first place, because after we return we will perform the wedding ritual." Xiao Yuze, the twenty-five-year-old man tried to grab Xuan Yin's hand. But immediately brushed it aside in disgust.
"I told you I'd rather die than marry you" Xuan Yin snorted fiercely.
Yet Xiao Yuze still looked calm, he said, "Don't say that my beloved fiancee. After marriage I will treat you well. So you won't regret it."
Xiao Yuze brought his face closer and whispered in a piercing voice. "Do you know the consequences of refusing this marriage?" Not only your parents, but also your six brothers will also be in danger if you dare to mess around."
Xuan Yin's body stiffened and his hands clenched. He wanted to tear this man apart if he could, unfortunately he could not use his strength after the meridian pathway was sealed.
Xiao Yuze had not finished yethe re-stretched his hand about to touch Xuan Yin's face. But before that happened, a hand caught his wrist.
Ah...
Of course this surprised Xiao Yuze. He slowly turned his face to the side and looked at the purple-clothed woman who was already standing right near him.
"Xiao Yuze, don't overdo it."
Xiao Yuze instantly withdrew his hand and retreated one step. He gulped quite roughly before snorting in annoyance.
"Aunt Xiao Mei, this is my business with my fiancee. You better not interfere."
However the purple-clothed woman named Xiao Mei was unmoved regardless of Xiao Yuze's warning. "I just don't want to see you bully women. If you feel so good, why not find a suitable opponent?"
Xiao Yuze did not wince. Even if Xiao Mei could only use a little bit of her strength, dian would not be able to defeat her aunt. In the end he could only leave there annoyed.
"Aunt Xiao Mei I will remember this. Didn't you and that man have children? I know you came back after giving birth, so what if I find your son and bring him to meet the ancestors?" Xiao Yuze smiled confidently as he said this. It was very different from Xiao Mei who now looked extremely angry.
"try it! If you dare to do it, I will teach you a lesson myself. Even your father won't be able to stop me!"
Huh!
Xiao Yuze snorted then walked out of the room.
