Chapter 472: The capital city



Chapter 472: The capital city

It took longer time than Senja assumed, there were many turns and doors which lead them to blind alley or simply brought them back to their previous place.

Finally after many time getting lost inside the secret entrance, they found their way out.

"I thought we will never see the world outside again" Senja whined exaggeratedly while stretching her body as Yun followed behind her.

The exit door was inside Xiao Tianyao's mansion, or to be more precise, it was located inside Xiao Tianyao's study room.

Senja looked around the room that seemingly had never been occupied for long time. This was expected since Xiao Tianyao spent his time more in the battlefield or the fortress.

From the absence of the sound and the eerie silence that surrounded them, Senja assumed everyone inside the mansion had been evacuated the moment war was broke.

Yun knew Xiao Tianyao's mansion layout from his fuzzy memory, it had been long time since the last time he stepped his foot inside Xiao Jun's brother place.

Hence, he led the way to the main gates hastily. Senja needed to run, so she wouldn't lose him. Yun was indeed in rush.

The moment they reached the front gates, Yun grabbed Senja's waist as they leapt over the high wall and landed at the other side.

Senja had done this with Xiao Tianyao before, so she wasn't afraid of it. However, the city that revealed before her eyes was truly nightmare.

Senja gasped loudly while covering her mouth. The street in front of them was littered with dead body, the smell of blood wafted in the air, many houses was burning or had turned into ashes. They didn't think this scene would be the one that they would watch the moment they stepped out from Xiao Tianyao's mansion.

His place was simply untouched. But, the other side of his mansion was hell on earth.

"Yun" Senja called out his name while shivering, her body trembling with the dreadful feeling around them.

Yun turned speechless, the last time he was here this city was one of the very prosperous place, however this place has lost its glory and turned into nothing than a wreckage place. Destroyed and badly damaged.

Before Senja could say another word, Yun had grabbed her shoulder and forced her to duck down, at the same time an arrow hurled right before her eyes.

The moment Senja opened her eyes, she heard couple of people were coming toward their direction and shouted at them while waving their sword dangerously.

"Who are you!?"

When one of them shouted Senja had stood up and swept her eyes around her, looking very alert.

The one who was shouting at them wasn't like Azura's soldier, his aura was stronger, actually all of them had the same feeling.

Senja had sensed this feeling before, but forgot where she had met them when Yun mumbled.

"Crescent Moon Members." Yun said solemnly. He knew that Xiao Tianyao had established his own force when Luna's death.

And only then Senja remembered this intense feeling, the strong killing intense. They were indeed the Crescent Moon Members, it had been a long time since she was near them.

"I am Senja from the Black Sword Clan." Senja said loudly, she stepped forward to present herself with confidence. She could feel Yun's weird look on her back, but she ignored it.

It would be better if they were Shadow Guards as most of them would recognize her directly.

"Don't lie! No one can trespass the gates!" He said stubbornly while pointing his sword toward Senja. The four people behind him did the same, they took another stepped forward, trying to corner Yun and Senja.

Behind her, Yun had drawn his sword, ready to take another battle when another voice joined the tensed.

"Back away!" He said furiously. Out of instinct the seven people's head snapped at the direction where the voice came.

And a smile bloomed on Senja's lips.

That person walked hastily in front of Senja and Yun, then dropped to his kneels while singing his greeting.

"Young Miss Senja, Master Yun." Yang Yu greeted them solemnly.

Senja smile grew bigger, but instead of recognized his greeting she asked the most crucial question. "Where is Tianyao?"

When Yang Yu heard Senja's question, in an instant his expression turned more solemn as a flash of worry appeared on his eyes.
