Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 294: Start Acting
That very night Zhang Yu left the domain of the Xiao clan along with Long Shen and Sun. They headed to Dou Yan City, then sailed to Heishan City.
Although the journey was completely smooth without a hitch, but Zhang Yu felt very long and could not calm down when he thought of the possibility of the eradication group already far ahead of them.
Indeed all of that was only a guess after they saw the information from Liu Bei. Yet Zhang Yu had a premonition that made him uncomfortable.
The first thing he had in his head right now was to get to the Xuan Empire as quickly as possible. Then, he had to go to the academy and prevent the eradication group.
Zhang Yu would not have expected that all his estimations were indeed true. The eradication group of two hundred people had already started the journey early. Now they had reached Heishan City. Gathering around the docks frightened the locals.
"Who are they?" The question is in the heads of some residents who prefer to stay away from the location.
The existence of the black-clothed group was truly striking. They were as if they were not afraid of his existence being known to the enemy or a third party.
"Sister, according to the information I obtained second brother has also come to the Xuan Empire. He probably knew right from the start that the soul control technique was here. But it seems like his plan to pick up the technique did not go well."
The long haired old man snorted. "Gao Feng Shui, you really embarrassed our family. You even failed in the plans you made. How humiliating!"
The middle-aged man did not say anything after that. But in his head wondered, who was the figure that had made his second brother so pitiful.
"Are they the same person?" he muttered, thinking of the person who had already killed Gao Feng Shui and foiled his plan.
"Gao Feng Sha, why are we still here? Shouldn't we go to the Imperial academy to pick up that soul controlling technique?" A woman came out of line. She might be the only woman in the group, but she had enough standing so unreservedly called out Gao Feng Sha's name directly when all the members called her vice-chairman.
However Gao Feng Sha did not receive that call. He glanced sharply at the figure of the red-clothed woman and tried to remind her. "Jia Li, if you forget I'm fifteen years older than you. Don't call me like you're my sister-in-law."
The woman named Jia Li smiled. "Gao Feng Sha, maybe you forgot yourself. I'm your brother-in-law, isn't that Ran Gege?"
Gao Ran signaled to Gao Feng Sha not to make a fuss. Instantly the fifty-five-year-old man snorted and walked in the other direction.
Jia Li was very happy to see Gao Feng Sha's dissatisfaction, he walked over to Gao Ran's side, then leaned on his shoulder with a big sigh. "I tried to be a good sister-in-law. But he still won't accept me just because I'm younger than him."
"Jia Li, you also do not make trouble" said Gao Ran.
But Jia Li did not care much about Gao Ran's words. He was used to his cold attitude. Even if Gao Ran scolded him loudly, he would not leave his side either.
"Gao Feng Sha, get ready immediately. We go to Xue He City now!" said Gao Ran.
Gao Feng Sha immediately prepared an army. Jia Li was still standing beside Gao Ran, they left the pier and headed towards Xue He City.
However, they did not directly attack into the academy. They waited for the right time while continuing to gather information about the remaining surviving members of the He family.
"First brother," Gao Feng Sha returned after going to gather information. Watching from his interested face pleased, surely he found the information they wanted.
Gao Ran became curious. "Quick say," he asked.
"There are currently only two people left from the He family. They were Han Rui and his son, He Jiao. According to He Jiao's information this was a court disciple within the academy. In order to obtain the soul controlling technique, we must enter the deepest part of the academy as they both live in the inner court."
Gao Ran mangosteen. Jia Li smiled as he sneered, "I don't think you're quite useful," he sneered.
The two again clashed, the annoyed Gao Ran immediately let out his aura which made the two of them shut up instantly.
"Sorry" said Gao Feng Sha.
Jia Li also apologized. He immediately stroked Gao Ran's shoulder while asking her. "When are we gonna move? This forest was only a few miles away from the entrance of the Academy. If we attack now, they won't have time to prepare."
Gao Ran stared one by one at his troops. He looked up and felt that soon the awaited time would come. When the sun goes down and the sky turns dark.
"Now is the time," said Gao Ran after seeing that the rosy sky had definitely turned dark.
Hundreds of people were brought in ready. Gao Feng Sha stood beside his brother and showed the black robe of the Spirit Palace he was wearing.
At that moment the gates of the academy were tightly closed as usual. Some disciples patrolled outside while the rest stood guard inside.
Everything seemed fine even until the sun sank.
"Open the gate, now it's time for us to stand guard." Another group of students came on the next assignment.
The students who knew the guard schedule was over did not immediately put on a happy face. The dozens of disciples inside immediately opened the gate and intended to tell their friend who was outside.
But once the gate opens. Their eyes widened perfectly watching the friend who was standing guard outside in a lying state with wounds on their bodies.
"W-what happened?"
Since this had never happened, it naturally left the outer court disciples confused and panicked. They immediately ran over to the four friends lying outside the gate.
For some people who run too fast. When their feet had just stepped on the exit limit, a black-colored slash silhouette fell right where they were standing.
Blars!
Body crushed and badly injured. Another student who had braked just stared at some friends who were victims. Slowly they turned their faces forward and saw hundreds of black-clothed people standing with frightening auras.
"Who-you guys?" asked the students while pointing.
Gao Ran snorted coldly. Gao Feng Sha who was next to him just laughed sneering. "First Brother, leave them to me!"
Without wasting much time, Gao Feng Sha immediately darted from his spot after saying. He had only used his Qi-coated bare hands to kill dozens of outer court disciples.
"Weak!" said.
The sound of booms and shouts that echoed unquestionably rang out from several places in the Academy. The disciples and elders who were around immediately came to the gate to find out the origin of the explosion.
But of course no one thought, when they reached the welcoming gate were hundreds of black-robed people.
Wu Zetian became one of the disciples that was there. His forehead shriveled as he tried to gauge the strength of the hundreds of black-robed troops.
"They must have had bad intentions. I have to go find the Head of Academy!"
