547 The Set Up
As the clan members weakened and sat in their seats one by one, a voice came from near the door, the sound of laughter being quite loud.
“Hehehe, of course, everything is taken into account, everyone in this room has been exposed to the Dark Shadow poison, what else can they do? Attacking when all their inner strength was paralyzed? Hahaha, this is very easy, it turns out that gathering everyone in one room and killing them all at once is a pretty good and perfect idea” the man dressed in white with a combination of brown, he and his colleagues behind him were famous as emissaries of the Southern Night Moth group.
Elder Yi who had been sitting in his place calmly smirked, and looked at the group of tall, skinny men who thought they were so great.
“Heh, today’s young people are very passionate, too excited” He poured the wine into his cup and was about to drink it, but he stopped his movements, what if poison was also in the wine?
Luo Xiang smirked. His sharp eyes saw several men who had taken off their outer clothes and were wearing all black. The insignia of their attire clearly belonged to a group he was quite familiar with. The Black Water Clan of the Wah Ye border.
“Hey, there’s no need for them to kill little ants like you guys, you forgot that not everyone in this room drinks that tea right?” said the Crown Prince.
Some of the men in black had already pulled out their swords from their sheaths. They smirked. One of them raised his hand wagging above his head. And in an instant, there were voices around the room, and in no time many black shadows shot up to surround the hall in great numbers.
“Hiaaa!!”
Bei Yau and Yo Tang readied their weapons. Several clan members who were near the door immediately rushed away. Soon, men in black attacked everyone there, without exception.
.....
“Insolent, how dare you guys make such a fuss here!” cried Bei Yau as he charged toward the black-clothed men who had arrived in great numbers.
Bai Ying held Luo Xiang’s clothes tightly. There are so many of them, where did they get in? Did they knock out the front defences?
Jian er who was standing near his teacher waved his hand. Master Sang Guang Yi Lu’s eldest disciple waved his hand and a strong wind appeared to push the advancing man forward. He mastered the basic skills of the White Cloud Clan signature moves, the Cold Wind sword. His body was still standing firmly in place while repelling anyone who wanted to attack them. It wasn’t long before Xu er and others had already joined the interior with him.
“Brother! There are so many of them, the front layer has been crippled” Xu er exclaimed.
Jian er did not relax his defences. He released sharp winds from his palms throwing the attackers with ease, but his power had a limit. Xu Er realized that. The young disciple advanced with other disciples pointing their swords at the endless black-clothed men.
Meanwhile on Elder Yi’s side. The old man took a deep breath. His desire to just sit and enjoy the quiet atmosphere was broken by the presence of those stubborn people.
The atmosphere within the great hall that had been extremely calm turned into a battlefield. Don’t know what they were thinking, did they think attacking so many great people in their own house could pay off? Unless they planned something beforehand.
Elder Yi widened his eyes. He lifted his head to see someone had entered at the door. An old man dressed in black with a long robe hanging behind him.
Bai Ying held onto the Crown Prince’s clothes tightly. He recognized the man, he think he knew him well enough. What is that person doing here?
“Hahaha didn’t expect to meet you here, Your Majesty the little king” the man’s voice was loud.
Bai Ying widened his eyes. He does know him, that man is Old Lao, Prince Wu Yi, his great grandfather’s accomplice. But, wasn’t that man already dead? How could he be there now?
“O-old man Lao?”
Luo Xiang clenched his fists, he really didn’t expect that man would come back. It wasn’t the great person he had hoped for, as they had always thought, that the Medicine Valley Clan was behind all the bad things that had happened. Or, they conspired?
“You, weren’t you already killed while running away? What do you think you are doing now? Revenge?” he asked.
Old man Lao smirked. He looked around. Seemed quite satisfied to see his men successfully surround the hall, one could say that because the hall was now filled with black-clothed people from the Black Water clan, which everyone thought was annihilated.
“Heh, this, actually not planned, Your Majesty, we just going to paralyze the bullies who thought they were great and deserved to be the rulers of the martial world. But who would have thought, if it turns out that His Majesty the Little King and His Highness the Crown Prince join the crowd, this will be very interesting.”
“You must be looking for death, right old man? Don’t you know how capable your little King is? As a subordinate, oh wait, you are not a subordinate, you are one of the country’s fugitives, you should know what your King can do, aren’t you?” Luo Xiang said.
The old man Lao looked calm. He opened his arms and folded them behind his waist, like what the Crown Prince used to do. The man seemed to be mocking him.
“Hemh, how come I not know that? We all know that the Little King has lost all his abilities, he is no longer a Realm King, moreover, young King Wah Ye has the ability to defeat enemies without touching them. Right now, you’re not much like other young ‘haven’t adult yet’ kids, are you? My Viceroy?” Old Man Lao looked at Bai Ying with a pair of sinister eyes.
It made the young man feel quite intimidated by him as if there was something that made him quite confident. Bai Ying’s eyes went wide, what had he done? Bai Ying seemed to be able to hear the shrill voice of a beast in Old Lao’s eyes. His eyes shone red feeling something big that made his chest tremble.
“Ah! Your Majesty” something terrifying that came in quite a number.
Old man Lao’s laughter sounded loud.
“Hahahaha”
Luo Xiang’s eyes widened, and he felt Bai Ying’s grip on him quite hard. Before long the ground beneath their feet shook violently. All those fighting had to stop their movements and cling to whatever was near them.
“Ying Ying! What happened?” he asked looking at Bai Ying’s pair of glowing red eyes.
There was a scream of pain from outside.
“Ah!”
The rumbling from the ground grew louder. Out of nowhere long black creatures resembling leeches came out of the ground and instantly bit anyone with a large mouth full of small sharp teeth.
“Ah!”
Elder Yi finally stood up from his seat. He opened his palm to hit the ugly creature that appeared from the ground, beneath the stone floor in the hall. In an instant, a huge number of creatures appeared and bit everyone near them mercilessly. A scream accompanied by blood spurting into the ceiling was unavoidable.
“W-what are they?” Xu er approached his brother. The enemies suddenly were no longer the men in black, but now the sinister creatures that had appeared out of nowhere.
Sang Guang Yi Lu who looks uncomfortable with his injured widened his eyes seeing the creatures that emerged out of nowhere.
“They are blood leeches, they suck the blood and growth bigger until they are satisfied, be careful everyone, their bite is deadly,” said the old man.
“Brother be careful!” Jian er exclaimed trying to slash the slimy black creature with his cold Wind, but it took more than once to do so.
“Damn, where did they come from?” cried Xi Hu who fought the terrible creatures with his sharp sword. Ye Lu’s black chains can handle them. The black chains that gave off white flames as Ye Lu expended more internal energy instantly ignited the giant leeches until there was a loud groaning sound.
“Ainggg!!”
Ye Lu knew how useful the black chain was so he stretched it out all over the room. Smashes all creatures within its reach.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
God damn it. Luo Xiang cursed in his heart, how could that old man bring so many creatures to attack the clan? What’s he planning to do?
“What are you doing old man? You know creatures like this are not kidding, they can’t possibly obey your orders, right? Just look, some have also attacked your men indiscriminately. Do you think you can control them?”
Old man Lao laughed. He opened his palm, showing something in his hand. A bottle no bigger than the size of his palm.
Bai Ying seemed to recognize the bottle.
“That..”
