Chapter 213: Zhou Clan
Although Wake City was on the verge of being besieged by magical beasts, no one within Wake City was feeling any sort of dread or panic. The only difference was that the atmosphere in the city was a little heavy, but the citizens continued on with their business as usual.
The Magical Beast Mountain Range was very close to Wake City–about twenty kiloters away. It towered over the Class 3 City that was highly experienced repelling waves of magical beast attacks. Even the city walls were equivalent to walls in a Class 1 City. Every single ti magical beasts attacked the city, this small Class 3 City would always stand straight and tall. So those who were born and raised in this city were all used to the besiegent of the magical beasts.
Within Wake City, the city lord had announced the news as well as posted the mission within the rcenary Union, practically every single rcenary had congregated within Wake City in preparation for the magical beasts attack.
Nowadays, the streets within Wake City had more people than ever. If one were to look closely, one would notice most of the people walking the streets were rcenaries who were also making most of the racket.
“Out of the way, the way I said! Out of the way!”
At this mont, a loud and frantic voice rang through the streets causing everyone to turn their heads. They could only see a few middle aged man barreling through the streets desperately. Each one of them wore different colored robes but the insignia on their chests were identical. Whoever was unfortunate enough to block their way was unceremoniously pushed aside, causing them to earn the ire and curses of everyone. So had grown violent and the stronger n began to bring out their Saint Weapons as if looking to make them pay for their cri.
“Look at their badges, aren’t they mbers of the Zhou rcenaries?”
“They’re really the Zhou rcenaries, why are they in such a panicked state? It’s almost as if they’re being chased by soone.”
When a few of the people on the streets recognized the badges on the n, they were all surprised to see this strange event. Even the n that had been pushed out of the away by them suppressed their furious wrath and Saint Weapons the mont they heard that the group was from the Zhou rcenaries.
The captain of the Zhou rcenaries, Zhou Yun was a Great Saint Master. This type of matter was not a small one within Wake City. After all, Wake City was a Class 3 City. A Great Saint Master was considered to be the apex of experts within the city. Now that the Zhou rcenaries had a Great Saint Master within their ranks their identity had skyrocketed to beco one of the strongest groups in the city. Now, not many people would dare to offend the Zhou rcenaries.
These Zhou rcenaries mbers ran through the streets at a fast pace until they finally disappeared within the crowd. On the road, they attracted the flabbergasted eyes of the nearby bystanders.
As soon as the Zhou rcenaries disappeared within the crowd, a white light suddenly shot through the crowd and chased after the Zhou rcenaries mbers from behind.
“What’s happening, could the Zhou rcenaries have run into trouble?”
“That can’t be. Right now the Zhou rcenaries have a Great Saint Master and also have the close support of the Zhou Clan. Who could possible be looking for trouble with the Zhou rcenaries?”
......
From this, everyone on the streets began to think up random conjecture as they shared every possibility with each other.
The Zhou rcenaries continued with their mad and desperate dash for another ten kiloters where they finally reached a grand looking mansion with a large four ters tall and six ters wide gate. On top of the large gate, a wide board had the words “Zhou Clan” written in dazzling gold words. Just from this alone, those who looked at the sign could tell that the owner of this house had a considerable amount of financial power and was quite strong physically.
“Let us in, we are a part of the Zhou rcenaries with important business with the captain!” A Zhou rcenary mber called out frantically to the guard standing right next to the gate. When the guard saw the group of people rushing at him with such frantic looks on their faces, he knew that sothing was happening and didn’t dare to obstruct them any longer, allowing them passage inside.
Within the Zhou Clan’s residence in a grand hall. A single seventy year old elder sat at the first position of a table with ten other mbers nearby.
The elder stared at a heavily armored figure nearby. The man was sturdy and was calm before the elder laughed, “Commander Duo Li, you need not to worry about this. Our Zhou Clan has towered over the rest of Wake City for ten years, it can be said that Wake City is our hotown now. This matter of the magical beast wave will indeed have our Zhou Clan ready to fight. We will give it our all to defend Wake City.”
The armored middle aged man gave a small smile as he cupped his hands together, “With the words of the Zhou Clan’s elder, this commander is relieved. With the Zhou Clan added to our forces, then our victory is assured, and since sire Zhou Yun is now a Great Saint Master, this is truly a celebration to be joyous about.”
The elder’s face had a gratified smile on it after hearing those words, but he spoke modestly, “Commander Duo Li gives too much praise. Zhou Yun’s cultivation talent is too outstanding, we’ve just spent many coins on monster cores which allowed him to cultivate and break through into the Great Saint Master realm smoothly.” The elder then looked at another man sitting far down the table.
This man wore a blue colored robe with his hair tied up in a whip like fashion that hung over his shoulders. His eyes had a calm yet, powerful look. This man was the leader of the Zhou rcenaries–Zhou Yun.
Just as the elder finished talking, a loud frantic cry ca bursting in from the hallways outside the room.
“Captain, captain! Sothing terrible has happened, truly a terrible matter!”
As soon as the voice was heard, suddenly, a man with the Zhou rcenary insignia on his chest ca bursting into the room with a few other n behind him panting wildly.
These n’s sorrowful appearances caused everyone that noticed it to furrow their eyebrows in surprise. So had even looked at them with an annoyed face.
“Impudence! Do you not see that we are having a eting here? Who let you in, do you not rember our rules, our system of conduct?”
“Clan leader, sothing bad has happened! An extrely strong and terrifying man has declared revenge on us! Our hundred mber strong Zhou rcenaries has been eradicated and only the ones here are left alive!” The leader of the group cried out to the elder.
Hearing that, everyone in the vicinity grew alard.
“What? Did you just say that you are all that are left of the Zhou rcenaries?” Zhou Yun spoke with a serious face. Imdiately standing up, he strode on over to the man with a loud shout.
“Yes, captain! It is only us that are alive!” The rcenary shouted miserably with a small tremble to his voice.
“No one else?” Zhou Yun’s eyes instantly grew dark.
“Everyone is....everyone is dead, captain.” Another rcenary said.
Hearing this, a great amount of killing intent flowed out from Zhou Yun as he growled furiously, “Who would dare...”
“Bang!”
Before Zhou Yun could finish his statent, the large gates to the Zhou Clan’s mansion blew open with a great sound before breaking into four different pieces that flew into the courtyard.
