Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 195: Bad Hunch
"Soul Control Techniques. It was the same technique that controlled hundreds of thousands of spiritual beasts while attacking the Zhen Yang Mainland."
Zhang Yu frowned upon hearing Long Shen's sentence.
"Isn't that your ambition to conquer human territory?" ask Zhang Yu.
Long Shen laughed quite loudly. Unfortunately no one there heard him but Zhang Yu as only he could hear his voice.
"That's true. That is ambition. But also not completely because there are humans who use soul controlling techniques. Luckily there was still Xiao Mu who stopped me with his ancient seal. Otherwise, perhaps the Zhen Yang mainland would not have existed until now."
"But maybe that was their goal from the beginning. Since Xiao Mu was the strongest human and had almost taken control of the entire Zhen Yang mainland, many wanted to destroy him. They used me and hundreds of thousands of spiritual beasts just to get rid of Xiao Mu."
Long Shen snorted as he thought of the second conclusion. He felt very angry because it had been used by a group of people for their purposes.
"Fuck! If they were alive today. I'll crush them to dust!"
Zhang Yu squinted his eyes while rubbing them. "You can't even escape the attachment of the dragon bracelet. How are you going to repay them? After all, you've lived for hundreds of years, they're definitely gone."
Long Shen sighed. He could not deny if what Zhang Yu said made sense.
"Eunuch Du, the group has not gotten what they wanted. Wouldn't they come again at any time to get the scroll?" ask Tang Yue.
Du Xiong became uneasy every time he thought of this. "That might actually happen. Seeing how they destroyed the He family, it seemed like they knew how to perfect the soul controlling technique. It would be even more dangerous if it fell into their hands," his inner self.
"Shut up! Looks like someone's coming."
Everyone was silent at Zhang Yu's warning. They did not dare to talk, or even just take a breath that made their faces turn blue.
"You guys just here. I'll go see it." Zhang Yu tidied up his robe before darting away leaving the five people still unresponsive on the spot.
...
Not so far from the place, eight people moved together while doing a search. But suddenly they stopped after someone from them raised their hand.
"What's the leader? Are they around here?" ask one person.
The man wearing a black robe with a red headband was still silent as he watched a few places. He then threw his breath out violently. "Damn it! Why should I do this job. Didn't it just capture two master-level women? This really pisses me off," the man complained.
No one dared to speak when the head-bound man expressed his annoyance. They know the leader's temperament is explosive and often uncontrollable.
If you get angry, then finish already those who are only at the holy level with the level of cultivation that is already above the heavenly level.
They are a bull faction with its leader named Yan Bauban.
"Leader, what if we just go back?" advice from one of them.
But Yan Baufan instantly gave him a sword-sharp look. "Stupid! If we go back what should I answer when Gao Fengshui asks? Do you want to explain? Especially with my reputation, I can't possibly give up on this task."
The man who had just given the suggestion immediately inched a tangle. He wanted to apologize, but when his mouth was only half-opened, Yan Baufan raised his index finger as a sign of silence.
Of course the seven people who did not know what their leader meant were wondering. While Yan Baufan slowly walked towards the south while taking out his sword.
Blars!
The power energy that shot out from his sword swing instantly shattered the tree trunk. The tree fell down, but nothing there made Yan Baufan frown in surprise.
"Is that just my hallucination? I'm sure there's someone behind the tree." To make sure that Yan Baufan deliberately walked closer to there. But there really isn't anyone.
Seven curious people approached. "Leader, ...."
Eight of them left. While in the other direction Zhang Yu who had previously stalked them was now on his way back to where Du Xiong and the others were.
"Why did you leave? Aren't you sure you beat them?" ask Long Shen.
Zhang Yu simply tilted his lips and focused with his footsteps. "Why did I choose a bad feeling. So instead of being unsettled, I better go back to checking their circumstances and make sure the soul control technique is still safe."
At least Zhang Yu had already heard a little of their conversation. It had also confirmed them as part of the Spirit Palace.
Zhang Yu couldn't possibly be mistaken as their clothes were already characteristic with the red moon symbol. Moreover, the exact same belt he had found back then in Dou Yan City when he was about to board the ship.
"It turns out so, ...." Long Shen mangosteen.
"I think you're afraid of dealing with them" he added.
Zhang Yu did not answer him again.
It says neither is fear. Zhang Yu was not afraid of facing them, even if one of them was at the demigod level. It was because he mastered the ancient seal that ancestor Xiao Mu taught him.
However Zhang Yu thought it would take some time to defeat him. Not to mention if their help came, making the situation more unpredictable. So it was better to go back and make sure that the soul controlling technique did not fall into the hands of the Spirit Palace.
"Zhang Yu!"
The sound of screaming was heard from a distance. Zhang Yu who managed to hear it patiently knitted his eyebrows together and stared far ahead.
"Comebody! Is something I'm worried about really happening?"
Zhang Yu immediately accelerated his footsteps towards the place where he left Du Xiong and the others. Lest any group of Spirit Palaces know of their existence because it would be very chaotic.
With Du Xiong's condition being injured, counted only Tang Yue and Duan Jian who had the ability to fight. But they were also still at the grand master level even at the master level which was a far cry when compared to the Spirit Palace group.
"Zhang Yu!"
The call was heard again. Zhang Yu who had just seen three men wearing Spirit Palace robes tried to take the storage ring from He Jiao's hands.
But He Jiao stood on the edge of the abyss and threatened to throw the ring if the three of them came forward.
"Rubby girl! Hand over the ring and we won't kill you" said one of the three men, nodding their heads.
"really right. Just give me the ring."
He Jiao fished by swinging his hands over the ravine. The three men grew more anxious when they saw the ring they probably would not have gotten.
"Curtain! Be stubborn! Do it if that's what you want!" One man darted towards He Jiao with a sword fed by the power of fire.
He Jiao's body trembled in fear. His breath was restrained as he felt an extremely strong pressure. However, right at that moment Zhang Yu suddenly appeared then killed one man who was trying to attack with a single slash.
Crash it!
Gludak!
He fell down with blood flowing. The two fellows who were watching were only silent in shock at Zhang Yu's unexpected appearance.
Not bracing them out of shock, Zhang Yu killed one more person, then caught the one remaining.
"Are you okay?" zhang Yu asked He Jiao.
