Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time - Chapter 477

No one knew about Senja ability except Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Jun and Yang Yu. Yoda knew about it as well, but no one aware that he knew as Senja never told anyone.

Even Uncle Su was taken aback by this revelation. He looked back and forth between the Elder and the three people in front of him.

“She is a mind controller?” Uncle Su asked in disbelief, unfortunately, no one answered his question as they were busy glaring into each other eyes.

After a minute of tense atmosphere, finally the elder gave an eerie chuckled and at the same time the sound of something heavy dropped to the ground.

It was like a heavy curtain closed the entire palace hall, trapped them inside.

The whole place dimmed due to lack of light and noisy voice could be heard from the outside. Xiao Jun’s troops and Xiao Tianyao’s Crescent Moon Members were trying to bust down the thing that caged them, however from the sound of it, they had having hard time to damage it.

Forgetting about his question, Uncle Su trotted slowly toward Xiao Tianyao and Senja’s side as well as Xiao Jun.

The three men had unsheathed their sword with solemn face etched on their feature, ready for everything that would unfold.

They positioned Senja in the middle, protected from any harm that would come.

“You are the traitor.” Xiao Jun said accusingly his eyes hardened by the thought how much he trusted him. He was a close friend of Elder Dam, the last person that would betray him.

“Jun. No hurt feeling.” The Elder talked in mocking tone. “I admired your courage because you and your brother managed to live until this day under the pressure of Xiao Zi.”

As he was talking there were many people emerged from the dark and the vibe that they gave off instantly recognized by Senja.

She tugged Xiao Tianyao sleeves, but it wasn’t necessary as he already aware of their presence.

“How long have you enslaved yourself to Xiao Zi!?” Xiao Tianyao seethed.

Senja looked around her and realized that all of this had been set up from the beginning, hence when she saw Xiao Zi stirred awake she had expected it.

Slowly and gracefully, Xiao Zi unconscious body moved and stood up, facing the small group in the middle of the palace hall. He raised his hand to wipe the remaining blood from his lips with his sleeves as he let out an eerie chuckled that echoed creepily inside the closed room.

“Surprised?” Xiao Zi asked with mirth dancing in his eyes.

The dimly room turned cold and full of tension. The atmosphere was so thick and heavy it almost suffocating.

Senja could sense the strong feeling of betrayal from Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun in the other hand Uncle Su stood closed to Senja left side as he was very alert with their surrounding and Xiao Zi.

“Like I told you my dear nephew, you can’t dethrone me! I will always be the Emperor of Azura! Not even my pathetic brother could take this away from me.” Xiao Zi laughed heartily.

And like on cue all the emotionless teenagers who were surrounding them moved simultaneously and attacked Senja’s small group.

Swiftly, Xiao Tianyao grabbed Senja’s waist and put her behind him while he barred the attacked from three teenagers in the same time.

Xiao Jun and Uncle Su did the same with their attacker, from what their movement, it was clear to see that they were trying to keep their attacked less fatal, still hesitant to kill those innocent people.

Their choice to not kill them led a spiteful comment from Xiao Zi.

He bellowed in his hoarse voice that sounded disgusting. “Seriously? Do you still hold back to not kill them in this kind of situation?”

With that being said, he lunged himself forward as he aimed to attack the open spot of Xiao Tianyao’s back, Senja caught Xiao Zi movement from the corner of her eyes.

Xiao Tianyao was too occupied with many people were attacking him, thus with one swift movement, Senja reached the scabbard at his waist and used it to block Xiao Zi sudden attack.

With wide eyes Xiao Zi looked at Senja in amusement. “You want to fight me little girl?” He tilted his head.

Xiao Tianyao who realized what have happened, turned around and grabbed Senja’s shoulder, pulling her back and kicked Xiao Zi on his chest.

“Stay away!” Xiao Tianyao snapped at Senja who endanger herself by fighting Xiao Zi head to head.

“I would like too! But, where?” Senja bit back. Annoyed by Xiao Tianyao over protectiveness at time like this.

Realized that they were surrounded by enemies in every corner and didn’t have a way out, he glared at Senja who looked at him the same. Agitatedly, Xiao Tianyao snatched his scabbard from Senja’s hand and threw it away, instead he handed her his sword while he picked another sword from the unconscious teenager near him.

“Protect yourself well.” He said sharply.

“I will try…” Senja rolled her eyes by his annoying order. Of course she will protect herself, she didn’t want to die yet.

Senja fought two teenagers and managed to subdue them in no time while Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Jun and Uncle Su take care the rest.

It was ten minutes later when all the teenagers were lying unconscious on the ground while Xiao Zi and the elder didn’t interfere with their fight. Both of them acted like spectator during the fight and their behavior disgusted Senja.

“Good job!” Xiao Zi clapped his hand childishly. “You are great!” He cooed.

Xiao Zi was standing near the throne while the elder was standing on the other side of the room, it made Senja and the rest situated in the center of the palace hall with unconscious body scattered on the floor.

“He is sick…” Senja muttered with distaste under her breath.

Right at that time the sound of people who were trying to tear the hard steel that caged them, increased. However, their sound was so strange. They were shouting and screaming something incoherent.

“What is happening there?” Uncle Su inquired while trying to catch their words, but nothing he could comprehend. The sound was muffled by the steel around them.

It was Xiao Tianyao who answered him, his voice was rigid and cold. “They open the gate.”

With the gate opened, it would allow the backup army that had been waiting all this time to enter the city.

When the understanding dawned on them, everything like fell into the right place now, about why the Azura’s army wasn’t trying harder to burst into the city when they had time and had more people at their side.

Also about the two cities that they had succeeded to conquer, but in the end Azura’s army easily snatched them back.

It had been planned from the beginning, because they were waiting for this time.

Trapping them inside and made Xiao Zi’s victory undeniable.

Hearing Xiao Tianyao’s answer Xiao Zi laughed maniacally. “You are right my dear nephew. Very right answer.”

They gritted their teeth while hearing the sound of their own people was being slaughtered.
