Those people who were chasing Lin Tian's entourage had already reached the bottom. But they must feel disappointed when they see that the person they were chasing had disappeared.
"Sir, I saw them cross the river" one of the men told the leader.
"Damn it, if if this river is not so big and ferocious the flow, of course we will chase them there!" replied the leader of the chase furiously.
"Oh, we don't have to go after them. Let's go back!" finally the person said after realizing there was no other way to cross.
...****************...
"Here, I brought some food" said their helper, carrying a few partridge chickens. Next to him was Lin Tian who helped find firewood.
"Master, this is a Hundred Arm Ghost." Lin Tian suddenly chanted to the leader of the Shadow Eagle.
They all look surprised. Then soon these dozens of people stood up and bowed respectfully.
"It turns out that the one who helped us was the Hundred Sleeve Ghost, the great Northern-born warrior. It's very lucky. Thank you sir." said the leader saluted.
"Oh yes, introduce my name Siang Ki, the leader of Shadow Eagle College."
"It's a great honor to meet you." replied the Hundred Arm Ghost while bowing down.
"All right, let's have breakfast!!" lin Tian exclaimed excitedly as he put down the woods and started to make fire.
That morning, they ate together in the middle of the forest while having a conversation. But there's one thing that's pretty incredible. The reason being, Lin Tian was currently eating his food with the mask removed! He had never done this in front of a new person.
"Master, how is the story to the extent that the great college Eagle Shadow can be destroyed?" asked Lin Tian in the middle of his meal.
"Well, there's no story to tell. A few weeks ago, they just suddenly stormed our base and destroyed everything. Only we survived." replied Siang Ki weakly.
Lin Tian frowned, then he glanced at Ang Bei who had his accomplices tied up in the trunk of a large tree.
"Hey old pig, did you reveal their information and ins and outs!??" asked Lin Tian cynically.
"Hmph, it's none of your business, boy!"
"Bad!! It has become a disgrace of the family, now even want to act! Eat this!!" snarled Lin Tian while throwing chicken bones at his eyes.
"Craat!! Ahhh!!" Ang Bei screamed loudly and thrashed as the chicken bone stuck right in his left eye.
"Master, let us give you a little punishment" said Siang Ki who was ready with his chicken bones.
"Don't Master, he shouldn't die before meeting with Miss." said Lin Tian preventing Siang Ki.
"Master uh...Ghost, can I ask you a favor?" Lin Tian said with a difficult to decipher expression.
The Hundred Arm Ghost who was sitting aloof away from the crowd immediately turned his head. Then grimace and nag.
"Who are you calling a ghost? We're both ghost boys!!"
"Hehe..sorry, but I don't know how to call you." replied Lin Tian with a bitter smile.
"Zhi Yang, call me Zhi Yang. Your name was if it wasn't Lin Tian's fault wasn't it? I heard it from your teacher when I was at the Yellow Bamboo Sticks College back then. In that case, I will call you Lin Tian." he replied after finishing the last piece of chicken thigh in his hand.
"Haha.apparently my name you already know without needing me to introduce, haha!"
"Not much of a fuss! What do you want to ask for help?" Zhi Yang said ketus.
"Craaapp!!!"
With lightning fast Zhi Yang had pulled the bone and threw it away. Making Ang Bei exclaim slowly and pant.
Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction and asked back. This time with a thumping.
"Say!! Are you really behind all this!? What are your plans with the Zhang family!? What are you guys going to do once the Zhang family is destroyed!??"
Hearing this, Zhi Yang's heart felt trembling. He was secretly horrified at the pressure from Lin Tian's voice just now.
"Even so, the Zhang family is the family that poses the greatest threat to the Alliance. Given your existence, Miss Zhang and a few other Northern warriors, the Alliance is truly threatened." replied Ang Bei timidly.
Indeed Ang Bei's fear is not a charade, let alone his fear of the Northern warriors, it is natural. Because, there are significant differences between the martial world of the South and North.
If in this Southern region, there are many warriors everywhere, both from the white and black. But it was different from in Lin Tian's homeland, which was in the North.
There, warriors are also many but when compared to the South, the number in the North there is still far less. However, the strength of every swordsman in the North is very strong. Even rumors say, if five members of World King Silat who had visited the entire land many years ago, all of them came from the North.
This was further strengthened by the appearance of the Ghost Swordsman Fog, the Hundred-arm Ghost and Grandfather Arm Sakti, who also came from the North.
"Then why did you destroy the Shadow Eagle College!?"
"That's because, their headquarters was located not so far from White River City, where the Hu family was located. And if the Alliance succeeds in occupying the headquarters, it will be easier for the Alliance to take control of the Hu family who are still recovering after the change of leader."
Lin Tian's face heard this. Instantly he remembered Hu Tao, his brother. If it was true that the Alliance would invade there, even though they might be helped by the Four Wind God Eyes who became Hu Tao's teacher, it would be impossible to deal with the invasion of thousands of Alliance warriors.
Siang Ki and his students who heard that also felt furious. Unknowingly, they had clenched their hands tightly, ready to break Ang Bei's head.
"It turns out, all of this started from the Zhang family." muttered Lin Tian while bowing his head. The sadness was clearly visible on his face.
"Lin Tian, don't blame yourself like that. He's the one who's been wrong for betraying the family." suddenly Zhi Yang said.
Lin Tian did not respond. This young man just clenched his hands then it sounded he said firmly.
"We need to get home soon!"
...****************...
That morning, the Zhang family was shocked by the arrival of an emperor envoy who had suddenly come to visit. The envoy said that he was carrying a letter from the all-important emperor.
"It's very important Miss, it's very important. Know that you people from the Zhang family, are already considered to be part of the Chu Empire. Therefore, His Majesty requires that all of you be aware of this shocking news." among other things the messenger said.
"What news is it, sir, that you came suddenly and without the slightest guard?"
"This is Miss, please read it." replied the messenger as he thrust a paper roll tied with a gold ribbon.
Zhang Qiaofeng accepted and opened it. Zhang Hongli who was beside him also took a look. The grandfather and grandson immediately widened their eyes as soon as they read the letter.
"What....!? It can't be...."
