Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 173: Helping Other Groups
Xiao Nie first stabilized his condition before moving with Zhang Yu to head west. Because seeing the smoke vapor that was still coming out from that direction made them sure the fight was still going on.
"Third Chief! Behind you!" Shouts began to be heard as Xiao Nie and Zhang Yu were already within hundreds of meters.
The black shadow slammed into one of the buildings, some people chased but others came in.
"Fourth Chief, watch behind you!"
The help that came with the leader of the snake faction had high strength. They were a collection of experts who were at the heavenly level. No wonder the Xiao Clan army was overwhelmed even though the opponent only consisted of six people.
The Fourth Elder who heard the warning immediately turned around while swinging his sword. As a result, the attack was successfully avoided without receiving additional injuries.
"They're too strong. Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder and Third Elder can face each one person, but the other three heavenly cultivators are still too difficult for us twenty people," said the troops of the Xiao Clan were average at the sacred level.
Xiao Zhiqian was speechless hearing those words. It must be admitted that indeed he and the two elders could only withstand each one opponent. Their strength was not enough to face two opponents at once.
"Third Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder!"
Sontak Xiao Zhiqian and the others raised their heads at the two figures standing on the roof of one of the buildings.
"Patriarch Sepuh ... Zhang Yu's!" They seemed to be in disbelief that the young man beside Xiao Nie was Zhang Yu. All they knew of Zhang Yu before this chaos came was still inside the ancestral altar. Who would have thought now that he had come with Xiao Nie.
"You ... Aren't you the one facing the chairman?" said members of the snake faction who had stopped in the northern region when they first appeared.
Xiao Nie squinted his eyes. "Your chief? They're dead."
This sentence is like thunder in broad daylight. The bodies of the six members of the Spirit Palace stiffened and his face flushed red with anger.
"Omong empty! The chief can't die!" The thick-bodied man attacked desperately.
Xiao Nie used the first sword eye to directly finish him off.
Slings...
Body split. The remaining five people rounded their eyes and became alert. This opportunity was not wasted by Zhang Yu to use the ability of the soul needle conqueror technique and attack five people at once.
Instantly the five members of the Spirit Palace from the wolf and snake faction fell silent unable to move.
"Third Chief! Fourth Elder! fifth Elder! Attack them now!"
The three men realized then with the help of twenty troops attacked the five people whose movements had been paralyzed.
Blars!
Blars!
A few explosions instantly killed the five without any meaningful resistance.
Xiao Nie and Zhang Yu descended from the rooftop towards the group below. "For those of you who can still fight, come with us somewhere else."
At least ten people were injured and could not fight. They have to stay there to recover. While the others went with Xiao Nie and Zhang Yu went to the other fight venue.
They completely combed the western area so as not to leave a gap. Within a distance of two hundred meters they saw one other fight that was going on. The First Elder, the Second Elder and the Sixth Elder who were compared to the twenties of the army fought against eight people.
It looked more balanced because the strength of these eight people was at the one to five star heavenly level. Only one person was at the nine-star heavenly level but with the first elder he was a worthy opponent.
"Help! Finish it fast because we have to go east." Xiao Nie gave the order. He immediately darted to where the cultivator who was at the nine-star heavenly level was.
Of course the arrival of Xiao Nie was very surprising. Especially with his speed that made the opponent instantly have no chance to defend.
On the other hand Zhang Yu also took advantage of the situation. After locking onto the target with the soul-conquering needle technique he instantly attacked using the murderous sword technique.
However, this was still not over as the Xiao Clan troops had to head east. And it is in this region that the situation becomes uncontrollable.
They met the group of Seventh Elders and Eighth Elders. But the condition of many wounded troops included both elders.
"Patriarch Sepuh, it looks like they have found an underground passageway to the emergency shelter."
The look on Xiao Nie's face and the people who came with him became bad.
Even Zhang Yu could not hide his worries. "Grandfather, are mother and Xuan Yin also in the emergency shelter?"
"I asked them to go there. They should be there too." Xiao Nie was silent for a moment while linking his two eyebrows together. Then he asked, "As for their number? How many people?"
The Seventh Elder answered him. "About twenty people. Half the holy level and half the heavenly level. But among the ten heavenly levels there are two that are nine stars."
Xiao Nie nodded his head in understanding.
"Grandfather. We have to hurry. We need to get to the shelter as soon as possible."
Once again Xiao Nie nodded his head. "alright. I remember there were eight secret passageways in this region. We'll split the group into eight groups."
Soon after, they split up to reach the eight points where there was a secret passageway door. Those who were injured had to recuperate, but those who could still fight had to participate in this fight.
"Patriarch Sepuh, do we need to be in such a hurry? Emergency shelters have very strong upholstered doors. When I realized there was a danger, I was sure that some people would close the door from the inside so that it was impossible for the people of Spirit Palace to be able to open it."
Xiao Zhiqian moved along with Xiao Nie and Zhang Yu accompanied by several others. Hearing Xiao Zhiqian say, Xiao Nie was seen frowning seriously.
"I'm not sure. Problem ...." Xiao Nie suddenly stopped his sentence.
"What's Grandpa?" ask Zhang Yu.
Yet Xiao Nie only shook his head. He did not want to create panic or worry with the news of the betrayal before clearing the people of the Spirit Palace. Moreover, he himself did not know who the traitor in the Xiao Clan was.
Some time later after following the secret passageway they finally came to the point where the whole was connected. The eight separated groups regrouped, but they looked fine without finding any awkwardness or strangeness.
"Patriarch Sepuh, did you find them?"
"No. We didn't meet them. What about you guys?"
"We're not either."
Everyone asked each other but no one met the group of Spirit Palace people. This of course made them a little worried.
"Grandfather, let's go check in there." It was the main line to the emergency shelter. Zhang Yu darted first. They moved together then arrived at the first door.
Surprisingly getting there they also did not meet the group of Spirit Palace people. This makes some people wonder.
"Eighth Elder, didn't you say they entered the hallway? But why aren't they there?"
The Eighth Elder fell silent because he could not answer it. He only knew they had found his secret passageway. But the fact that they suddenly disappeared left him confused.
At this moment Xiao Nie advanced by sticking his hand pressing the secret button on the door which made it instantly open. One door opened, two doors opened. When the six doors were fully opened, they were shocked by the sighting of an empty emergency shelter leaping over.
"Where is everyone? Why is this place empty?" muttered the elders.
While the Xiao Clan troops were checking around, Xiao Nie stepped in with a difficult to decipher gaze.
"This is what I'm worried about. They even figured out how to open the door layered in an emergency shelter."
