Chapter 336: All Parties Come (1/2)
In a luxurious mansion in the center of the city, an old man held a mystical orb on his hands.
Scenes of slaughter was recreated in this orb which rendered well enough the sad fate of one clan.
In truth, countless influences in Aurora City were looking at the very same pictures of carnage. Everyone mused in a gloomy silence in the end.
”What are we going to do now, City Lord?” A woman garbed in a dark cloak asked at the feet of this old man.
No one could tell how much time she had spent kneeling in place but she showed neither anger nor shame in the act.
It was easy to note that this unknown woman took pride in her job indeed.
”Send gifts and words of praise towards that nameless master. Be sure to flatter him at all cost, Duan Ya. Also, be subtle in your search for the origin of this master.”
The old man instructed. This was of course none other than the City Lord of Aurora City, Zhang Yun.
”I hear and obey, City Lord!” Duan Ya bowed low until her forehead touched the cold floors beneath. In a breath, her figure turned into wisps of shadows.
”Is this man perhaps a disciple of a big sect from the central continent?” Zhang Yun asked himself as he began replaying the scenes for the umpteenth time.
The mystical orb in his hands showed a young man who took all attacks with no damage to show for it in the aftermath. He was practically unscathed from beginning to end.

”I have a premonition that the Southern Continent of Fable shall be a lot livelier once more with this man's advent.” Zhang Yun's wrinkled face turned dark and ugly.
He then closed his eyes in meditation.

Back to the Shi Family.
”Elder Shi Wen!”
”Elder Shi Wen!”
”Elder Shi Wen!” Loud hurried voices called before its owners had even arrived at their destination.
”BANG!” The doors exploded wide open as the rush of panicked guards marched into the room.
”The audacity! Who gave you the courage to just barge into my chambers without notice?!” A towering middle aged man roared in anger.
He was Elder Shi Wen and was the father of Shi Ling.
The day started not good for him especially with how his good daughter had told him nothing but dire news in her homecoming. And then this show of disrespect followed thereafter.
Shi Wen wanted to hit somebody and so he smiled because he found many volunteers for the job that he had in mind.
Alas, before he could raise his hand in a striking slap, one of the fearful guards has already beaten him to the punch.
”Elder Shi Wen! The Zhang, Song and Ren Family are here! There are also other delegates from the other clans. They are looking for you and your daugh...”
