Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 194: Finding He Jiao
Most of the He family's residence was smashed to the ground. Among the many people who died, there was one lucky person who eventually survived death.
Who else if not Du Xiong.
Now, the He family's eunuch was on his way eastward to reach the end point of the secret passage connected from the He family's residence. Although the condition of his body is still injured, but did not make him stop when remembering the message of his master to be his wife and daughter.
"Eunuch Du, in front is the abyss. Are you sure you didn't take the wrong path?" ask Tang Yue. Because he is a native of Heishan City so know the places that are here. And he was certain that in front of them was a ravine that spanned dozens of kilometers separating Heishan City from Qian Gu City.
Du Xiong raised his face at a glance then smiled at Tang Yue. "Just calm. This is the right path. The exit of the secret passageway was on the brink.
Justright. When they got to the edge of the ravine they saw a tunnel that was slightly jutting down. There should have been a cover as a disguise to be unknown to people, but it is seen now in an open state. That means someone just came out.
"They must be hiding around here," Du Xiong said then looking to several places.
Unfortunately he had difficulty because this region was quite large and filled with many trees.
Until one when they found a trace of a pool of blood on the ground that suddenly made Du Xiong's hand tremble.
"No ... This is impossible!" This considerable blood was like a trace of a fight. Du Xiang really could not imagine if there had been a fight. With the cultivation level of her mistress as well as her young miss, the two of them would not be able to do much when the enemy attacked.
"Uncle Fat, you have to see this!" Zhang Yu pointed at the droplets of blood as well as the two footprints leading to another place.
Du Xiong who was already sad immediately endured his grief and looked at the footprints carefully.
"We'd better go follow these footprints. Who knew these were the footprints of He Jiao and her mother," Tang Yue said.
Du Xiang nodded in agreement. Without wasting much time he stepped down the footprints and droplets of blood.
But instead of finding the two people they were looking for, instead the horde of fourth-rate wolves that were huddling did not know what.
They had yet to realize there were two people gathered in the midst of the wolf crowd. But once they realized it instantly they were dumbfounded.
"That's He Jiao ...."
Zhang Yu prevented Tang Yue who wanted to advance against the wolf. He raised his hand, then with a very easy move knocked them out without touching He Jiao and his mother who were in the midst of the wolf crowd.
Blam it!
There were at least nine fourth level wolves and they all died with just one time Zhang Yu raised his hand.
No doubt this sight made the three people next to him shocked. They were certain it was nine level four wolves that were equivalent to a grand master level. But Zhang Yu had actually knocked them down so easily.
Not even Du Xiong could hide the shock. But he had no time to think about this and immediately ran towards He Jiao.
"Young Miss!" Du Xiong helped He Jiao sit up straight. She also helped Han Rui, her mistress in a similar position.
Zhang Yu helped recover them with his Qi. Although it would not treat their wounds thoroughly, at least they would come to their senses sooner.
And it's true. As soon as Zhang Yu helped the two of them, He Jiao who had the situation was better aware first.
"Tang Yue, Eunuch Du, ...." He Jiao blinked a few times as she saw two familiar figures were right before her.
"Young Miss, you're finally conscious."
Hearing Du Xiong's words, He Jiao seemed to recall his condition and situation. He glanced sideways to find his mother who was still fainting then glanced back and found Zhang Yu.
He Jiao hesitated that the man behind him was Zhang Yu. But seeing a monkey on his shoulder made him sure even though the appearance of this monkey was a little different.
"Zhang Yu, thank you ...."
Zhang Yu's line made He Jiao close her eyes again.
Du Xiong continued to observe him, his gaze looking a little complicated as he looked at Zhang Yu.
"I know he's a genius. But isn't his current strength too high?" inner Du Xiong was still focused with Zhang Yu's attacks on the nine level four wolves.
Just raise a hand and nine wolves die. Isn't that overkill? Unfortunately Du Xiong did not know if Zhang Yu was currently at the nine-star heavenly level. Let alone the nine level four wolves, the nine level five and six wolves would fall in his hands.
"Eunuch Du!"
Du Xiong came to a realization hearing a weak voice from He Jiao. He gasped in shock before running closer towards He Jiao then helping her up.
"Young Miss, how are you?"
He Jiao did not answer. He asked Du Xiong. "How's dad doing?"
Du Xiong immediately bowed when he heard this question. "No-None ... Excuse me. But the Great Lord ...."
He Jiao bit on the tip of her lip looking at Du Xiong's reaction. There was no need for him to wait for an answer from his mouth because all of that was clearly seen from his eyes.
"He Jiao, you need to calm down. There's still your mother and I here. I will always be with you," Tang Yue said as she calmed He Jiao down.
But how could it be the same. A father cannot be replaced by how.
It was just that He Jiao had to endure. Even if not for her, but for her mother.
"Eunuch Du, who are they really? Why attack us all of a sudden? Are they enemies of the He family?" he Jiao asked in succession with great curiosity.
But Du Xiong instead shook his head in response. "I don't know Young Miss. They are a very strong group. Even one of them was able to destroy the entire He family residence."
He Jiao's breathing was stifled upon hearing this. With the situation so bad his father asked himself to go through a secret tunnel with his mother. He began to imagine what was happening up there as he felt the ground echo. Who would have thought he would lose so many things, including his father and brother.
"What is their purpose?" he Jiao asked back.
It's not just He Jiao. But Zhang Yu, Tang Yue even Duan Jian was curious about this question.
Although Du Xiong actually had no intention of saying it, but seeing this kind of situation he had no choice but to say it.
"That's because of something that's in Young Miss's ring."
As soon as he heard it He Jiao directly stared at his storage ring in surprise.
"What's? What is in this ring? I never saw him because I left him to me." He Jiao remembered once when his father had suddenly come into his room while giving him the storage ring. Not long after the attack came so the father asked him to hide first with his mother.
"What exactly is it?" he Jiao Mumbled. He immediately pulled out the contents which turned out to be a scroll.
"Zhang Yu, it looks like it's a soul controlling technique."
Long Shen who had originally still locked himself away after absorbing the dark energy within the dragon bracelet came out from feeling the existence of something familiar.
Zhang Yu held back his hand that was flowing Qi for He Jiao's mother. He glanced at Long Shen seriously. "What is a technique that can confound the minds of spiritual beasts and control them?"
"really. How'd you figure it out?" ask Long Shen.
But rather than being Long Shen's question, Zhang Yu was more focused on the question of who the group was trying to obtain the soul controlling technique from the He Family. Or maybe the Spirit Palace?
