Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 290: News from the Long Empire
Today it had been ten days since Zhang Yu received the gift of heaven. It had been ten days that he had officially aligned himself with the grandfather who had also received the third heaven award.
There were now three people who were at the half-eternal level in the Xiao Clan. Other than Xiao Nie and Zhang Yu, there was the First Elder, Xiao Fang, who two years ago had only received the first heaven grace.
The three of them were currently at the Xiao Nie residence. Sit together with a few rolls at the table.
Tok tok...
The sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded. Xiao Nie immediately turned his face away before exclaiming for the person outside. "Come in,"
The door is open. A clan member walked step by step trying to get closer to the table of the three people.
"Patriarch, there's a letter coming from the Third Elder."
"Xiao Zhiqian's? What letter is that? Try to bring it here," Xiao Nie asked.
Zhang Yu and the First Elder simply stared at the clan member who delivered the letter. They clearly remembered that the Third Elder was on his way to the Long Empire with some people. They became more and more curious about the contents of the letter.
"You may return," Xiao Nie waved to the clan member. He put the letter on the table and began to read it carefully.
Upon completion, Xiao Nie pushed the letter before Zhang Yu and the First Elder. He scratched his temple with a complicated face.
"The Third Elder is currently visiting the Hao Family residence in Long Empire. He saw there was chaos there caused by the eradication group. This group was a new group, but they were wearing spirit palace clothes."
Zhang Yu and the First Elder who heard Xiao Nie's sentence immediately frowned.
"How is that possible? Didn't the spirit palace have already vanished in Zhang Yu's hands. Zhang Yu, isn't that right?" ask the First Elder.
Zhang Yu nodded his head in doubt. It should have been the group of spirit palaces had already vanished the moment he killed their leader, Gao Feng Shui and destroyed their headquarters.
Xiao Nie momentarily fell silent. Of course he knew that because in these few years the Spirit Palace had completely vanished without any news. No one could reveal their whereabouts, and all parties believed that the Spirit Palace had been obliterated.
Yet Xiao Nie did not think the Third Elder would deliver something carelessly. Since he said the group was wearing Spirit Palace clothes, then it was the same clothes.
Xiao Fang. "That could happen."
Xiao Nie was still staring at the letter on the table. I don't know why he had such a bad feeling about all this. The Spirit Palace that was previously confirmed to have been destroyed, now suddenly appeared with a new name. Is it possible that something will happen to the Xiao Clan?
There was nothing they could do about the letter that the Third Elder had sent. For now, they choose to wait. They hoped to get a resume letter from Xiao Zhiqian who was still in the Long Empire.
Not vain. Two days later, exactly when the afternoon came again a letter sent to the clan. A clan member ran from the outer region to the Xiao Nie residence.
Zhang Yu and a few other elders gathered together. Zhang Long was no exception who was already considered part of the clan as well.
"From the letter that the Third Elder sent, it was certain that the eradication group still had close ties to the Spirit Palace. That was because what they were targeting was a family, clan or sect that had once come into contact with the Spirit Palace. They move at night, and destroy their enemies in darkness."
The dozens of people in the room were silent and speechless. Hearing how the group targeted the family, clan or sect, already explained how powerful their group was.
"Patriark, where we were once the graves of dozens of members of the Spirit Palace. Even two faction leaders are taking lives in our region. If according to what the Third Elder had said, wouldn't the target of this group after resolving the matter in the Long Empire be coming to the Xiao Clan?"
The second elder's sentence made the room become silent for a while. The other elders agreed with him.
Xiao Nie stroked his chin while taking a deep breath. "I don't think they're going to make a very rash decision. Although they were strong, but the Xiao Clan was not weak either. Moreover they will not be able to enter our domain freely."
"Patriarch is right" they said after thinking calmly.
Zhang Yu who was sitting in his place was still pondering over the matter. Somehow he felt that the purpose of the eradication group was much more complicated than his grandfather had described.
"Spirit Palace," muttered Zhang Yu.
Whereas back then Zhang Yu had already killed the leader of the Spirit Palace with his own hands. He was sure that there was nothing left but the corpses he had indeed left there.
"May I really pass some people?" his inner.
