Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 222: The Masked Man
A group of people came to the valley in the northern region. The sight of the black robes with faint red lines already explained who they really were. None other than the Red Moon Shop.
"Leader, the sky is clear again. Does that mean the upgrade process is over?" asked a man to Han Wuzhou.
Soon the old man's face changed. Without saying much he led his group to move faster finding Zhang Yu.
Too bad, even as they went deeper into the valley region, no sign of Zhang Yu's whereabouts could be found.
"Leader ...."
"Han Wuzhou, what are you doing here?"
Feeling familiar with this voice, Han Wuzhou immediately turned his gaze behind the huge cliff. And it's true. The voice belonged to someone he obviously didn't expect to be in this place.
"Fu Shuang! Are you following me?" reply Han Wuzhou.
Fu Shuang snorted softly then denied the accusations. "Omong empty. I'm not following you. Maybe you're following me."
Han Wuzhou turned his face away. Although they both wore the same clothes, but the relationship between the two was not harmonious.
"What if we forget for a moment our disagreement and focus on looking for Zhang Yu?" fu Shuang said suddenly.
Of course Han Wuzhou felt strange and suspicious. But after thinking for a moment he felt Fu Shuang's echoed idea was quite wise.
They both came from the Red Moon Shop. They also have the same target. With them united, it would be easier to find Zhang Yu in this valley.
"alright. I won't bring up any trouble between us. But still, you have no right to interfere in my group, and vice versa. We're just doing a search without teasing each other."
Fu Shuang immediately agreed to Han Wuzhou's terms. It was because Fu Shuang realized, as the new leader he still did not fully earn the trust of his members. If this dispute grows, fearing that no one will side with him. It is better to move with the flow and do it gradually, he thought.
"All, listen to me! We become three groups. Split up on the count of three!" Fu Shuang exclaimed to divide his group. Unwilling to waste a lot of time he immediately assigns tasks to each member under his authority.
Han Wuzhou certainly did not want to lose. He also divided his group into three and soon split up to trace the valley.
At that time the masked man tried to separate himself from the group. He was sneaking around while scouting the situation until absolutely no one noticed him.
On the other hand, Zhang Yu who had just managed to receive the heaven grace had to immediately hide when he saw the arrival of the Red Moon Shop group.
From the hiding place he could see two groups fighting. But before long the two groups seemed to have made a deal so that the two became more familiar.
Zhang Yu looked at all. But the distance made him unable to hear what they were talking about.
"It is a pity that the grace of heaven makes my body so weak. I can't leave without being caught in these circumstances. Can only hide until they leave," Zhang Yu's inner.
Zhang Yu tried to pull out the tendrils that were the barrier of the cave where he was hiding. But right at this moment a hand suddenly held the tendril from the outside.
"It turns out you're here" he said.
Zhang Yu's eyes widened to see who was in front of him. The masked man in the Red Moon Shop.
Instantly Zhang Yu pulled out his sword about to attack the masked man but he suddenly restrained his hand as soon as he saw the face behind the mask.
"Grandfather!"
The sword in Zhang Yu's hand instantly came apart just like that. He retreated pulling himself while paying attention to this face before him whether it was grandfather or not.
But no matter how much Zhang Yu tried to blink an eye, Xiao Nie's face would be unlikely to change.
"Finally you found me, Grandpa!" Zhang Yu could not help but be happy.
Xiao Nie laughed. "How could I not find you when you challenge one of the greatest powers in the Dragon Continent. You're making so much noise. So it didn't take long to find you."
Zhang Yu scratched the nape of his head awkwardly.
Long Shen who was on the shoulder said, "It's only right that I feel very familiar with him last night. Turns out he's your grandfather in disguise."
This sentence made Zhang Yu directly look at him.
...
Back to Han Wuzhou's place.
"Where is Nie Xiao?" han Wuzhou asked the group of people behind him.
But none of them were able to answer the question.
Of course this made Han Wuzhou even more annoyed. The difficulty of finding Zhang Yu had already made his anger uncontrollable, now one of his people disappeared from just now without saying a word to him. It is the same as not assuming his existence.
"Yun Che,"
The rough-faced man walked out of the line and took one step forward. "Here, Leader."
"You're looking for Nie Xiao. Find him, then bring him here right now!"
The man named Yun Che immediately nodded his head. But as he was about to turn away his footsteps were stifled seeing the arrival of the masked figure.
"Sorry Leader, I left without telling you," Xiao Nie said.
Han Wuzhou instantly twisted his body then walked over with a sharp gaze. "Where are you from?" tanyakanya.
Xiao Nie was silent for a moment before saying, "I feel the existence of others from that direction. I went there to make sure."
"How did it go?" han Wuzhou asked still with an intense gaze.
"I'm not sure Leader. But there seemed to be traces of the aura of someone who had once stopped there."
Han Wuzhou again knitted his eyebrows together. "That must be Zhang Yu. We need to get there before he leaves. Nie Xiao, show me the way."
Xiao Nie smiled behind his mask. "Okay, follow me."
After moving for several hundred meters they arrived at an extremely silent valley region. A dead end with three cliffs stood in front, left and right.
Han Wuzhou raised his face strangely. But he was more interested in finding Zhang Yu than anything at this point. "Nie Xiao, where did you feel Zhang Yu's aura last time?"
"..."
No reply from Xiao Nie made Han Wuzhou frown. Slowly he turned around, but what was behind him actually made his body stiffen and his face turn crimson.
Dozens of members who a while ago were still fine, in an instant lay lifeless with incision wounds on their necks.
Only one person remained, and Han Wuzhou instantly displayed his killing aura on the figure.
Who else if not Xiao Nie. However that killing aura did not scare Xiao Nie at all. Even Xiao Nie confidently took off his mask then displayed an aura of his strength that was clearly not inferior to Han Wuzhou.
Of course this made Han Wuzhou surprised. He never even thought Xiao Nie had this kind of strength.
"Is all this because of Fu Shuang?!" han Wuzhou asked while holding back his anger.
Xiao Nie who heard then laughed scornfully. "This has nothing to do with Fu Shuang. From the beginning my goal of joining was indeed to destroy the Red Moon Shop. No matter if it's you or someone else, I just want to destroy it."
Han Wuzhou was so angry that his mouth did not stop muttering. He cursed furiously and reproached blindly.
Until then came another voice from behind Xiao Nie's body. "Grandfather, don't waste time talking to people like him. Better get it done here."
Her loud voice caught Han Wuzhou's attention. The old man immediately raised his face then looked at the figure of the man whose face was quite familiar.
"Zhang Yu!"
At first Han Wuzhou was still unaware of Zhang Yu's line of calling Xiao Nie by the name of grandfather. But a few seconds later, his face gradually changed when he noticed it.
"You ...." Han Wuzhou looked at Xiao Nie and Zhang Yu alternately. Her face was so bad when thinking of her current self actually fell into their trap.
