Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 205: Intruders Not Worth Pardoning
The southeastern region hill of Xue He City. A group of people dressed in black stood up while folding their hands as if waiting for something.
They looked very calm while observing the one scroll that the dreadlocked man was holding.
"Yan Bauban, have you received a message from Yu Dha?"
Sontak Yan Baufan flicked his shoulders hearing Gao Fengshui's question. "So far not yet. But maybe soon someone will come."
Gao Fengshui closed the scroll in his hand. It contained none other than the ritual ordinance of blood sacrifice which became his main plan of coming to the Xuan Empire.
"What about the soul control technique? Did that envoy Song Wejin already get it?"
No one dared to open their voice when they did not have an answer to the question. Even Yan Baufan who usually looks fierce and fierce, but in the presence of Gao Fengshui did not dare to refute him at all.
Right at this moment a black-clothed man came in a hurry. His face was pale and sweaty looking like he had just witnessed a massacre. He was none other than the only one left of the Spirit Palace members who went to the southern border region.
"Leader Gao! Leader Yan!" The man immediately took a big breath after arriving in front of his two leaders.
Gao Fengshui and Yan Baufan only looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong? Say it," pinta Gao Fengshui. I don't know why he felt that something bad had happened.
The man took a breath back. "Leader Yu, in-he was killed."
For some short time the dozens of people gathered there no one reacted. But gradually the look on their faces deteriorated when they listened properly to the man's words.
Gao Fengshui also did not directly refute what the man said because he recognized him as a member of the gorilla faction under the leadership of Yu Dha. "How did that happen? Say it clearly,"
The man took out a light blue stone from the pocket of his robe. It was a recording stone. Able to store events seen by its owner by using Qi as power.
In the Xuan Empire and Yang Empire the existence of this stone was extremely rare. But in the Long Empire stone recorders can be found in every resource store.
Gao Fengshui took the stone and destroyed it. Not long after that from the rock shards that fell to the ground, a very clear image projection emerged showing how a fight was fierce and terrifying.
"Who is that young man? It was unexpected that in the Xuan Empire there was such a terrifying talent," muttered some people.
Gao Fengshui still looked at the projection seriously. He could see Yu Dha was very dominant in his fight. However it did not last long as a moment later, Yu Dha suddenly could not move as if someone was tying his legs.
"Spiritual fragrance?!" muttered Gao Fengshui looking at the technique that managed to kill Yu Dha.
"Is that really the spiritual needle of the Xiao Clan?" asked Yan Baufan. Although he had heard of the famous soul attack technique but he had not once seen it directly.
But it was different from Gao Fengshui who had faced the technique. "That's really the conqueror soul needle technique belonging to the Xiao Clan. That brat must have some connection to the Xiao Clan."
Yan Baufan could not say anything more. After the projection ended he immediately asked Gao Fengshui. "So how's our plan going?"
"Leader! Leader!"
Before Gao Fengshui answered Yan Bauban's question, the two people who were previously in charge of overseeing the area around the Imperial Academy had returned. Of course, all eyes were immediately on them and hoping for good news.
Unfortunately, it will only be a hope that never materializes.
"Leader, it looks like the Imperial Academy is already aware of the existence of the intruder that Prime Minister Song Wejin sent. Seen at this time they closed all access in and out and did a pretty tight guard."
This news was like hitting Gao Fengshui's head violently.
Not even half an hour of news of Yu Dha's death reached his ears, now there was another matter that made his plan fall apart.
Gao Fengshui stomped on the ground firmly while grinding his teeth.
Without the moon goddess' body and soul-controlling techniques, the ritual of blood sacrifice could not be performed. That meant that all the plans that had been carefully drawn up all this time were completely shattered.
"Leader, ...."
"We're back in the Long Empire."
Gao Fengshui's reply shocked all of his surrounding members. Including Yan Baufan who stared in disbelief.
"returned? How can we go back?" asked Yan Baufan consecutively.
Yet Gao Fengshui had made his own considerations. "We're back in the Long Empire."
Gao Fengshui did not not want to continue his plan. But Gao Fengshui felt that things were not on his side. Moreover, they had left Long Empire for too long. He was only worried that the empty situation of the Spirit Palace would be taken advantage of by the enemies who had been eyeing them for a long time. It was truly too expensive a price just this increasingly uncertain plan.
The group of Spirit Palaces actually left that hill region without thinking of going any further into the city center. They forgot their plan to perform the blood sacrifice ritual because everything had gone awry.
But they, especially Gao Fengshui would not forget the face of the young man who had already killed Yu Dha.
"You didn't just screw up my plan, you killed my friend. Next time I meet, I won't let you go!"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Academy, Rong Liuwen was still faithfully waiting for the arrival of the promised help to come.
Unfortunately the woman had no idea that the aid group that should have come had just left the Xuan Empire.
Now Rong Liuwen had no help and he grew anxious as the search continued by the outer court elders to find his whereabouts.
"Am I going to end up like this? How could the Prime Minister really not come to my rescue? Did they forget, or did something happen?"
Rong Liuwen hid in the residence of one of the outer court elders. Utilizing the empty residence he made the place a refuge.
But it was unlucky for his fate because when he entered the residence there was a disciple who saw him. So when the elder asked the mutus, they immediately surrounded the residence of the elder in question.
"Comeout. There's no way out for you. Do you want to go out on your own or do we force it out?" elder Xin Fei shouted out loudly.
Wang Chen folded his hands in front of his chest while faintly snorting. "Get in and get him!" said it.
At the same time Zhang Yu stone alone arrived at the academy. He rushed over as soon as he heard the commotion from one of the elders residence. It was unexpected that a lot of people gathered including his teacher who was also there.
"Teacher, what's going on?" ask Zhang Yu.
Wang Chen slowly turned his face to look at Zhang Yu and the newly arrived Xuan Yin. He heaved a sigh of relief after seeing his two disciples return safely.
"..."
But before he could answer her, Wang Chen's attention was distracted by the figure of the woman dressed as the outer court elder being dragged out by elder Xin Fei.
Tong Liuwen shouted and begged for mercy when forcefully pulled out. His face looks very frightened.
Yet Wang Chen only snorted with an extremely sharp gaze.
"An intruder doesn't deserve to be forgiven!"
