Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 200: Finding Xuan Yin
The southern border of Xue He City.
"It looks like we've done enough observation here. Nothing strange or suspicious. It seems like the information first brother received back then wasn't very accurate." Xuan Wu set his saddle preparing to start the journey back.
Xuan San had also done a similar thing while Xuan Yin had just pulled out a horse from his stable.
"Third Brother, Fifth Brother, don't you feel anything?" Xuan Yin walked over to his two brothers. His eyes continued to glow from one side to the other as he felt the presence of danger signs.
None of his two brothers felt the same.
"Seventh Brother. It's like it's not you. Just this time I saw you agitated in the task of watching the border," Xuan Wu said. He jumped up on the horse and then drove the horse in front of his seventh brother.
"Let's hurry. I can't wait to get back to the academy."
"Fifth Brother, why are you so excited? It's like it's not your usual self," Xuan San's thump mimicked Xuan Wu's previous tone.
Xuan Wu suddenly squinted his eyes then snorted unhappily. But it only lasted for a moment as the next second Xuan Wu again carved a smile on his face. "That's because I heard Zhang Yu has returned to the academy."
Xuan Yin who also heard him suddenly raised his face even more excited. But he tried not to show it too much.
"Third Brother, let's hurry. Fifth Brother like he is already very impatient to return to the academy," Xuan Yin said. The girl immediately jumped on the horse before stomping her feet making her horse run quite fast.
They left the southern fortress thinking that they would soon return to the academy. But who would have thought that when it was only a few kilometers away a man dressed in black suddenly appeared before them while smashing into the ground with his fist.
Blam it!
The ground level rose like a wave. The horse that was running fast enough immediately lost its balance and fell toppled.
Xuan Yin, Xuan San and Xuan Wu had briefly jumped up so as to successfully dodge the attack.
"Excession!" raung angered Xuan Wu as he stared at the stocky man before him.
"You who?!" tanyakanya.
But instead of answering the question, Yu Dha, the black-robed man flowed Qi into his hands.
"It was the robe of the Spirit Palace. Is it possible that he's part of the Spirit Palace?" xuan Yin murmured in his mind.
Hyats!
His voice is so loud. He again smashed his hand into the ground so that the ground in front of him instantly split apart.
Xuan Yin, Xuan Wu and Xuan San dodged. But no one expected it to be what the opponent wanted.
As soon as they dodged by jumping, Yu Dha used a palm cannon attack.
Booms!
The palm-shaped air quickly crashed onto Xuan Wu and Xuan San until it bounced away.
They both stand up. But came a second attack that knocked them down a second time.
Xuan Yin who watched tried to help. But at that time Yu Dha started to turn to him.
"How's this? The level is too high for me who is only senior level."
While on the other side. Zhang Yu drove his horse from morning until noon to reach the southern fortress. He grew even more excited when the distance was only a few kilometers away. That way he will soon meet Xuan Yin, he thought.
It's unfortunate that something bad has happened. At this second Zhang Yu saw three horses lying lifelessly among the chunks of land.
At first Zhang Yu did not think this horse belonged to Xuan Yin and the two princes. But seeing that there was a special anklet that the imperial family used on the pony leg made Zhang Yu hold his breath for a while.
He frowned when he heard a groaning sound. He slowly turned his face to the right to look for the source of the sound.
"..."
"Fifth Prince!"
How shocked Zhang Yu was to see Xuan Wu who was lying down with a body drenched in blood. Zhang Yu checked his condition, without saying much directly draining his Qi to help him recuperate.
Uhuk! Uhuk!
Xuan Wu spat out a few gulps of blood before pointing towards the left. Zhang Yu suddenly followed his index direction and looked at the fainted Third Prince far away.
"Sa-Seventh Brother ..." he said restrained. He pointed towards the northwest direction wanting to tell Xuan Yin in brought it away in that direction.
Zhang Yu immediately stood up. But don't forget he helped the third prince first before walking down his index finger.
"Third Prince, Fifth Prince, can you survive?" zhang Yu asked after aligning them near his horse.
"We-we're fine. But you must go save Seventh Brother. He was taken by a man in black robes."
Zhang Yu raised his face staring towards the northwest. He walked a few steps then stopped when he saw the beads on the ground.
What beautiful beads. Zhang Yu immediately picked it up and made sure it really belonged to Xuan Yin.
No one knew Xuan Yin had beads like this. But Zhang Yu knew it. Xuan Yin always wore it on her right hand then covered it with a cloth in such a way.
"Zhang Yu, you better be careful. It seemed like the man carrying Xuan Yin was one among the leaders of the Spirit Palace. Seen how the attacks in the traces of the fight were only a few times, it showed the difference in strength between them."
Zhang Yu nodded his head. "I'll always be careful. Thank you for caring about me."
Hmh!
"I don't care. I just don't want to end this fast. You have to survive because my life depends on you."
Zhang Yu did not care about this sentence. He knew Long Shen cared enough for him. It was just that his haughty nature made him ashamed to admit it.
After following the instructions Xuan Yin had left behind, Zhang Yu managed to arrive at a cave that was quite far away from where the previous fight had been.
Zhang Yu staked out from a distance, looking at the few people of the Spirit Palace who were doing the guarding. Zhang Yu was increasingly convinced Xuan Yin was inside the cave upon seeing the one last bead that was at the mouth of the cave.
"Zhang Yu, someone's coming!"
Zhang Yu immediately went into hiding to hear Long Shen's warning. Before long two people appeared from one direction then entered the cave.
One man had a foreign face, while one man was a person he was quite familiar with.
"Prime Minister Song Wejin! Turns out he was involved in this. Is all that information he told the Spirit Palace?" Zhang Yu clenched his hands and deeply regretted the last time when he did not yet have enough strength to kill him.
That guy's like a very disgusting shit. Should be removed immediately.
"What's your plan now?" ask Long Shen.
Zhang Yu momentarily counted the number of people the Spirit Palace was guarding outside. At least six or seven people with emperor and saint level.
"Sun, can you lure them away from the cave?"
Long Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Yu curiously. "You really want to make it a decoy?"
"Why not? It's not like I'm going to sacrifice his life. And anyway he's agreed to do it."
Whahuh?
Long Shen was surprised to see Sun move quite quickly towards the direction of the six guards. Six guards who realized his arrival immediately tried to evict him. But since it couldn't, three people tried to catch him.
Unfortunately as the three men chased after, Zhang Yu quickly killed them.
Bruk!
Bruk!
Bruk!
Three people lost their lives. Sun went back to fishing the other three. Who would have thought the same trick back worked for them.
"Bad! This monkey is really looking for trouble! I'll make it into dinner tonight."
"really? It seems you don't have a chance at it." Zhang Yu suddenly appeared behind the three people. When the three were conscious, their lives were no longer in their bodies.
Bruk!
Bruk!
Zhang Yu kept his sword while throwing the resource crystal at Sun. "Great work!"
