Chapter 107: A Storm is Brewing (3)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Shrouded by the darkness, the hidden Lin Palace guards from the Rui Lin Army noticed the abnormal movements as they stepped out from the shadows, to welcome the uninvited guests.
"If you are here to seek an audience with His Highness, please come again in the morning. Lin Palace does not receive guests after dark. The white haired Uncle Fu stood, hands behind his back, eyes steeled, facing the oncoming rush of shadowy assassins. Standing behind him, fifteen resolute and stalwart figures blocked the only way to the backyard.
"We are not here to visit, we are under orders to send everyone in Lin Palace on their way to hell!" The dark cloaked figure exclaimed, laughing maniacally.
Uncle Fu's eyes flashed, dropping the kindly smile, as his sharply honed killer instinct took over.
"Then I won't be polite! Intruders to Lin Palace will only face ….. Death!"
In a flash, Uncle Fu and the fifteen Rui Lin Army soldiers rushed into the midst of the horde of shadows. The light coloured clothed guards of Lin Palace shone brilliantly in contrast to the onslaught of shadows.
The deathly still of the night was broken, smelling acridly of death and blood.
Two groups of shadowy figures slipped into Lin Palace from the back as the battle in the front yard raged. They quickly killed the guards in the back of the Palace. With blades still dripping with fresh blood, they walked to the backyard.
The sweet smell of herbs lingered in the backyard, all was silent and still. The lotus pond rippled, as a soft breeze blew, bringing a chill.
One group of shadows stepped out, shattering the beauty of the night. Holding in their hands, blades that dripped blood, fresh from their slaughter, leaving a smattering of red on the ground.
"Tsk tsk…It is not advisable to disturb the rest of Wu Xie." A charming voice rang out suddenly, breaking the quietness in the yard. The shadowy figures startled, as they swung around to confront the voice.
A tall, slender figure, stepped slowly out of the shadows and into the illuminating moonlight. The handsome figure with his boyish grin belied those eyes, that exuded terrifying menace.
Jun Wu Yao glanced at the wary group casually, as he moved his gaze to the blades that were dripping blood onto the ground and his eyes glowed a dark violet.
"Dirtying Jun Wu Xie's yard is a crime, a crime you shall pay….. With your lives." Jun Wu Yao's smile slowly spread, however it was one that brought about a chilling tingle in the spine.
Under the moonlight, the shadowy group could see the lone figure clearly. The gaze from those violet eyes, like a sharp sword, seem to have pierced their hearts.
"De….. demon..."
"That's just rude!" Jun Wu Yao shook his head, "How can I be a mere demon?"
The violet hue in his eyes flashed, and his body became a blur of movements.
In a blink, quiet returned to the yard….. scarlet rain descended as the warm red colour fell onto the ground.
Jun Wu Xie opened her door at that moment, still dazed from sleep.
In that strangely enchanting scarlet rain, an elegant figure stood unmoving, his face tilted up, the stunning handsome face smattered scarlet from the rain.
He was laughing as his half amused violet eyes looked at her sideways, and the corners of the mouth curled up.
Those eyes showed merciless annihilation, his laughter maniacal. It makes one's skin crawl, a sight that Jun Wu Xie would never forget.
It was extremely beautiful, strangely alluring, but chilling to see at the same time.

The scarlet rain that fell brought with it an acrid and suffocating smell. Jun Wu Xie glanced at the bodies scattered all over, her eyes strangely calm.
"Sorry I woke you, Wu Xie." Jun Wu Yao smiled apologetically, and looked down at his blood spattered clothes. "I really wish you didn't have to see me like this."
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. Upon hearing fighting from the front yard, her eyes flashed a cold intent.
[Mistress! Something's up] The little black cat arched it's back in anxiety.
"It's the Emperor." Jun Wu Xie reasoned exceptionally coldly. "Jun Wu Yao!"
"Hmm?" Jun Wu Yao smiled faintly, fervour in his eyes.
"Kill them."
"As you wish." Jun Wu Yao's smiled and his slender figure turned into a shadow, and shot towards the front yard.
[Mistress, your uncle!] The little black cat exclaimed.
With a flourish, Jun Wu Xie threw the little black cat. Its body elongated and bulked up and a majestic black beast landed in the back yard. Jun Wu Xie hopped onto the beast, eyes ablaze with fury.
"Go!"
The ferocious black beast, in full stride, sped towards Jun Qing.
Clamour and din tore through the night in the Lin Palace, as the stench of death hung heavily over the palace.
Jun Qing sat in his wheelchair, eyes narrowed, staring down the group of men in black who broke in. A sword in hand, droplets of scarlet were dripping down the tip of his sword onto his wheelchair, as blood from the five dark clothed figures who laid dead, around the wheelchair. More shadows closed in on him.
"I see Your Highness is still as skilled as before, but in your current state, are you able to win against these odds?" The dark clothed man sneered, looking at Jun Qing in his wheelchair.
They know very well the formidable skills and prowess the Jun Family possessed, if Jun Qing was still at his peak, he might be able to defeat them all, but the once formidable Jun Qing had been reduced to a cripple, with great sword skills, albeit without the freedom to move his legs.
Jun Qing eyed the men in black that surrounded him, expression cold as steel, eyes narrowed as his eyes flashed a glint of murderous intent.
These men in black, having chose this most opportune time to come here, obviously had plotted this for some time. With the majority of the guards out of the city, the few remaining guards, must be having a hard time with the enemy.
"A small fry, showing such impertinence in Lin Palace, you overestimate yourself." Jun Qing intoned coldly.
He was not afraid he was surrounded. He was more worried for Jun Xian and Jun Wu Xie!
Jun Xian was impelled to leave the city, and these men in black immediately stormed the Lin Palace. This whole ruse was targeted at the Lin Palace all this time! He was worried if Jun Xian was all right, and if his niece Jun Wu Xie was safe.
Jun Wu Xie did not have any contractual spirit and was not able to develop her spiritual energy. She would not stand a chance against them if the men in black found her.
"Your Highness is sounding rather high and mighty, there are but a few guards here tonight, and there is no point dragging the inevitable. The remaining guards are held up in battle in the front yard, and I'm afraid the Young Miss of your household might have already lost her head. Tonight will be the downfall of Lin Palace, surrender yourself and I'll give you a painless death." The dark clothed man gloated.
A sudden bright gleam flashed, and the dark clothed man's eyes widened in horror before he collapsed.
Though surrounded by the men in black, Jun Qing was unyielding, his blue cloak fluttered in the breeze, his attractive features took on a menacing shift, as he gripped his sword, and fixed his gaze on the enemy.
