"We have been passing this place three times." Ye Xiu remarked, getting impatient. He started to think to barge inside the gates. "Are you sure it was here? We are wasting our time…" The patience in Ye Xiu was running out.

"I am looking for it now." Senja grumbled while scouring the area near her.

And then she found it.

The wooden boards under the crumbles of the remaining hut at the outskirt of the village.

"Ye Xiu! Here!" Senja shouted as she tried to push the fallen tree above it. "Help me pushed this."

Senja was pointing at the log the covered the half seen wooden boards beneath it. She knew it was the secret entrances that would lead them to Xiao Tianyao's mansion. It was like an escape route from Xiao Tianyao's mansion bunker.

No wonder no one knew about this. Xiao Jun probably didn't aware about this as well.

"This is the entrance?" Ye Xiu asked with doubt. "Are you sure?"

Senja nodded vigorously. "Hundred percent sure! I had seen Xiao Tianyao used this to enter his mansion." She said with confident. "It will lead us to his mansion."

With another glanced at Senja's self- assured smile, Ye Xiu said in low voice. "Back off."

Confused, Senja did as she told as she took two steps back. But, when she saw Ye Xiu was unsheathing his sword she knew immediately what would happen and instinctively runaway from the scene while secured her head between her hands.

In the next second the sound of the loud sound of blast could be heard as the poor log scattered all over the place in million pieces.

Ye Xiu did the same like what he had done with the gates at the L city district 11.

Slowly, after the blasted sound subsided, Senja turned her body to face the hollow that was created under Ye Xiu's feet.

With a little bit cough and waving her hand to get rid the dust, Senja looked down and grinned at Ye Xiu. "See? I told you it is here." She said triumphantly.

"Let's go."

No praised, no thanked as Ye Xiu ushered Senja to jump into the dark pit. They didn't have time to waste.

And for Senja, it was only a matter of time before she could see him again. She would meet him soon.

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.

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

Ye Xiu 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.

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

"I am Senja from the Black Sword Clan." Senja said loudly, she stepped forward to present herself with confidence. She could feel Ye Xiu'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 Ye Xiu and Senja.

Behind her, Ye Xiu 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 Ye Xiu." 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.

"Master is leading the three hundred people along with Prince Xiao Jun to infiltrate the palace gates." Yang Yu answered, but there was a slightly fear in his voice that didn't go unnoticed by Senja.

"So, why are you here? Why don't you go with him?" Senja didn't understand, as Xiao Tianyao's right hand man it was only right to be with him at this critical moment, right?

"Master told this subordinate to stay and make sure to keep the Azura's backup army outside of the city's gates." Yang Yu clenched his fist.

From the reaction that Yang Yu was showing, it was very clear that he didn't like to be kept behind. He wanted to fight along Xiao Tianyao. But, to stay and held them back was an important task too.

"So, they are in the palace now?" Ye Xiu interjected. Stepped forward and allowed Yang Yu to stand up.

Yang Yu stood up and nodded. "Yes," He emphasized. "Master and Prince Xiao Jun have made it into the palace."

Senja didn't know what to say about this piece of news, it was a good thing that they succeeded to infiltrate the palace, however there was something in Yang Yu's voice which still laced with anxiousness.

"Let's go." Ye Xiu didn't bother to know more about the progress of the news as his only purpose was to bring Senja to meet Xiao Tianyao, as for Senja, she brushed aside her bad feeling and followed Ye Xiu.

"No, Young Miss Senja, you can't come." Yang Yu prevented Senja advance move frantically. "It was too dangerous there."

Senja halted her step and looked at him. "There is something you want to tell me?" She asked him straight to the point. "What actually happen there?"

"That is… The palace has turned into a battlefield. Young Miss Senja can be injured accidentally." Yang Yu stuttered and this made Senja grew more curious about what actually happened.

"Don't you dare lie to me!" Senja snapped. She had had enough with Yang Yu's jitters state, she could sense it.

"Young Miss Senja…" Yang Yu started to plea, but Senja cut him off.
