With Ye Xiu's order and they saw that their leaders were trapped inside, they moved fast and tried to damage the steel that caged them inside.

They tried to bust it down, but with no avail.

However, before they could do anything with that, they had another trouble.

From the direction of the main gates of the capital city they saw horde of Azura's army went berserk inside the city.

The supposed to be lockdown city, now another battle had breakthrough. Apparently Yang Yu didn't manage to hold them back any longer as they could see those soldiers started to run rampant toward the palace direction.

"CLOSE THE PALACE GATES!" Ye Xiu raised  his sword and took charge.

However, before the palace gates were closed, Ye Xiu could see bunch of people came from different direction.

They were not Azura's army, but Ye Xiu knew who led them here.

"Ju Long, finally you come." He said as he watched the palace gates shut closed.

So now, Ju Long and his people were fighting those Azura's army while Ye Xiu and the remaining soldiers inside the closed palace where trying to break the steel with no avail.

The fighting sound from outside the palace gates were so intense, they didn't know which party who had the upper hand in this situation.

But, they could think about that later because now the only thing that they should do was to get their leader out from that closed palace hall.

"One… two… three…" Dozens of soldiers were holding battering ram to use it to splinter the steel.

It was an ear- piercing sound that was produced every time that tool collided with the steels.

Every second was counted as they didn't know what was going onn inside, if their enemy had prepared this trapped them, than they must have prepared something and it wouldn't be good.

However it took long time for them to breakthrough.

Once it happened, Ye Xiu got on a black horse and right at the same time, the palace gates were torn open, however it wasn't the Azura's army, but Ju Long.

"Ye Xiu! You are so cruel to close the gates right under my nose! Do you want to kill me!?" He grumbled and complained atop of his horse.

But, Ye Xiu didn't have time to hear him wailing as he said. "Let's go inside!"

"What!?" Ju Long wanted to complain again, but Ye Xiu had moved forward, begrudgingly with no other option, he forced his horse to catch up with him.

Ye Xiu caught a rein of horse near him and brought it along to enter the palace hall.

Inside the palace hall.

They hardly fought when Senja saw Ye Xiu, riding a horse with spear in his hand, killed all the people who dare to block his way.

Behind him was Ju Long with many other people, fighting to reach them.

It was a total chaos inside the palace hall with carcasses scattered on the floor and the smell of blood wafted in the air.

"Jun! Tianyao!" Ye Xiu called out when he finally reached them. "Qi Xunyi and Moon Dew Clan are waiting for you outside of the city's gate. You need to lead them!" He raised his voice to suppress the noise around him.


Without waiting for another minute, Xiao Tianyao helped Senja to get on the horse that Ye Xiu had brought with him, along with the assistance of Julong and Yun, they managed to go out from the palace hall.

On the palace yard, a fierce battle still continued. Arrows covered the night sky as the tip of them glimmer in the darkness.

On the horse, Xiao Tianyao protected Senja by securing her between his large arms.

There was a moment when Senja felt Xiao Tianyao tensed behind her, however her focus was too occupied with the scene before her eyes.

Death bodies were at every corner of the city and the road was covered with blood while people still fighting around them.

And then, when they finally reached the opened gates of the capital city, Senja caught a sight of Yang Yu's dead body on the city's wall with a sword stuck on his chest.

Before, Xiao Tianyao had ordered him to guard the gate and he had done the best he could until his last breath to fulfill his duty…

***   

The battle remained for long time as Ye Xiu fought alongside with Ju Long and Xiao Jun.

The only thing that made his mind at peace was knowing Xiao Tianyao had brought Senja to the safe place, so he could handle the matter here.

When the night almost ended and the remaining of the Azura's army had been caught, Ye Xiu and Xiao Jun went to the tent.

They needed to re arrange the search party to look for Modama as he managed to escape during the chaos.

But, atop of that, Xiao Jun was worry about his brother's condition.

When the sun was high Ye Xiu and Xiao Jun arrived at the tent and spotted Doctor Lin was standing right beside the tent's door.

Outside the tent, they could see Doctor Lin had her head hung low with gloomy face.

"How is my brother?" Xiao Jun asked carefully as if he had known the answer from how Doctor Lin looked back at him.

"He is not in good condition." She said in sorry tone. "Senja is inside to accompany him."

Xiao Jun averted his eyes as he talked to Ye Xiu. "Master, thank you for your help."

"You don't need to say that. I am sorry for leave you for long time." There was a guilty feeling that he felt for him, but that was his decision and he could do nothing to rectify it. "But I can't stay for long time, Jun, I have to go."

Xiao Jun knew what Ye Xiu's mean and since he had found Senja, he would definitely go to where Riana was.

"I know, I will arrange a carriage for both of you." Xiao Jun avoided to see his Master right in his eyes, this moment was hard for him to knowing Xiao Tianyao was in critical condition.

For a moment, he was at lost…

He needed his master now, but he couldn't possibly ask him to stay.

After Xiao Jun left there was no one who talked with each other, they were in deep thought.

*** 

Senja felt empty and lightheaded. She had stopped crying when she approached Xiao Jun and Ye Xiu who were waiting for her at the outside of the tent.

Not far from them, a carriage had been waiting for her.

With head hung low, she let Xiao Jun gave her a tight hug and whispered something to her ear.

"I will look after Tianyao…" Xiao Jun said before he let her go.

Ye Xiu carefully grabbed her hand, led her toward the carriage and helped her settled in. He looked at Senja sorrowfully.

She looked like an empty shell. Nothing that he said would reach her.

Slowly, Ye Xiu closed the carriage door, trapped Senja inside the dim of that narrow place. She felt suffocated as the pain in her chest intensified and was the only thing that she could feel.

Ye Xiu sat on the coachmen seat as he pulled the rein and drove toward the other direction.

Separated Senja and Xiao Tianyao further away.
