Chapter 264: One, two, three, fall!
Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue got Little Roar to go to the palace to walk around when he had the time, to see whether or not he would be able to glean some information.
It goes without saying that Little Roar, who was so bad at directions, heard a lot of information because he kept getting lost. He relayed the information to Sima You Yue, who relayed that information to Ya Guang and got Ya Guang to relay the information to Ouyang Fei and the others.
From here onwards, she was no longer so worried about the things happening outside. This was Ouyang Fei’s territory to begin with, she just had to focus on accompanying him.
A few days passed very quickly, and the entire capital was engulfed in an extremely tense atmosphere. It looked as if more and more patrols were out on the streets recently, as well as more strangers. Everyone knew that something big was about to unfold.
One night before they were going to announce the execution, Sima You Yue got notified by Ya Guang that everything had been prepared. She was just to take everyone and kill their way out of there on the second day.
On the morning of the second day, Sima You Yue told them that someone was coming and a group of guards came shortly after.
“Madame Sang, the lowly guards are here to take you on your way.” The head guard came in front of Sima You Yue and the other’s cell and said coldly.
Sima You Yue looked at him steadily and said, “Just the few of you?”
“It is already considered having given you respect that so many of us have come.” The head guard said, “You are all merely a bunch of wastes right now. We could dispatch any one of us and we would be able to wipe you out. Hmph, go!”
“I’ll go. Open the door then!” Sima You Yue said.
The guard saw her arrogant attitude and gave a cold snort. He waved his hands and the people behind marched forward and opened the door as all the Sang Clansmen came out.
“Let’s go.” The head guard ordered.
“We can walk on our own! We don’t have you bother you to take us there.” Sima You Yue used her real voice to speak.
“What did you say?” The head guard looked at Sima You Yue and felt that her voice sounded a little off and started to scrutinise her.
Sima You Yue smiled and returned to her original appearance, saying, “I said that I know how to take them out of here, you don’t have to worry about it!”
“Who are you?” The head guard took out his weapon and pointed it at Sima You Yue.
“Don’t be this way, soon, you won’t even have this little amount of energy left. You should save your strength instead.” Sima You Yue smirked and said, while looking at the guard, “One, two, three, fall!”
“Peng-”
“Peng-”
Just as she spoke, those guards all fell down helplessly.
“You Yue, you’re really so useful!” a youth from the younger generation of the Sang clan cried out with joy.”
Sima You Yue picked up a jade bottle from the ground and closed the bottle rightly, saying, “The poison can affect even a Spirit Saint! This can only be used in an enclosed environment, I’ll let you all know more about other kinds of poisons when we’re outside. Let’s go, I’m going to pick up Aunty Yu first, as well as clean up those in the palace along the way!”
“Let’s go!”
Outside the palace, Little Roar was just patting his own claw, saying, “This is a new poison that Yue Yue has created. What do you all think? Do you feel like you’re going to faint?”
The group of guards were currently pointing their weapons at him. They didn’t expect that he would fly around and would throw around some white powder. Now that he said it, they really did feel quite light headed.
“Oh no, we’ve been poisoned!”
Those guards collapsed one by one, all of them unconscious.
Sang Mu Yu brought the three palace servants out and saw the people lying on the ground. She asked, “You killed them all?”
Little Roar shook his head and showed an extremely innocent expression, “How could I do something so cruel! I just knocked them all unconscious and let them sleep for a few days.”
“Your powder can cause them to be unconscious for so long?” Qing Qing asked.
“Of course!” Little Roar said, “Yue Yue invented this, if You Yue says it can do so, then it can. Okay enough, Yue Yue said that they have already come out. Let’s go meet up with them!”
“Okay!”
“Little Roar!” Sima You Yue’s voice carried over as the four people and one beast looked over. They saw a group of people rushing towards them.
“Mother!” Sang Mu Yu dashed over to them and came in front of Ouyang Fei’s grandmother, looking at her excitedly, “Mother, are you all okay?”
“We’re fine. With You Yue around, how could we possibly be in any danger.” Grandmother laughed.
Sang Mu Yu looked at Sima You Yue and said, “Thank you. It is really Dear Fei’s fortune to have a person like you as a friend.”
“Aunty Yu, you’re too kind.” Sima You Yue smiled as she replied, “Has Little Roar been harrassing you these few days?”
“Mm?” Sang Mu Yu did not quite understand what she meant.
Sima You Yue pulled Little Roar’s ear and said, “This guy is a bit perverted. He will drool non stop whenever he sees a pretty lady, he definitely must have harassed you during this period of time.”
“Ah ah.” Sang Mu Yu smiled, saying, “Little Roar is really cute.”
“Enough, let’s go. We’ll knock out all the people in the palace and then go and pick up Dear Fei. We just caught someone and questioned him. He said that Ouyang Dong has already headed to the capital.”
“Okay, let’s go.” Sang Mu Yu said.
Sima You Yue and the others headed straight outside the palace and, with Little Roar scattering the powder in the front, they quickly walked out.
After knowing that Ouyang Dong and Nalan Hong had gone to the execution grounds, Ouyang Fei headed there directly as well. That was because all the others of the Sang Clan had been brought there directly, so they rushed there as well.
Inside the inn, Ya Guang told Ouyang Fei that Sima You Yue had already taken the Sang Clansmen out of the palace.
“Clan Leader, Ouyang Dong has already left the place, he should be heading to the execution ground.” A guard came to report, “He has captured all the remaining clan members and taken them there. He is currently waiting for the people in the palace to bring Madame there. Everyone else has been accounted for.”
Ouyang Fei stood up and said, “Grandfather, take people to settle the Li Clansmen, I will go and battle it out with him!”
“Okay, you must be careful.” Sang Lun advised.
“I know. You too, Grandfather.” Ouyang Fei said.
Sang Lun took some men with him and departed. They were already familiar with the strength of Bei Gong Tang and the others. They also knew that Halcyon was a Sacred Beast, so they were not too worried when they left.
Fatty Qu stretched out a hand and said, “I have not truly fought with my life on the line these two years. Today, I will finally be able to work these muscles.”
“We’re not here to fight, you need to take it easy.” Wei Zi Qi said.
“I know, that’s why I’ve already made preparations beforehand.” Fatty Qu took out a few pieces of equipment and distributed it to everyone, saying, “I constructed these in the past when I was free, so the rank isn’t that high, but its attack power is still not anything that other weapons can hope to attain.
“It can’t even defend against a high levelled attack, what are you taking it out for.” Sima You Yang said.
“This is to stop others from hurting you during a chaotic battle. If you don’t want it, you can return it to me.” Fatty Qu stretched out his hand to snatch it back as he said it.”
Sima You Yue stepped backwards, then put on the armor and said, “Really can’t tell that your skills are actually not bad! This looks so thick but isn’t heavy or bulky when I’m wearing it.”
“Peng-” Suddenly, an attack hit his stomach, causing him to retreat two steps backwards.
Sima You Yang looked at the attacker anxiously and asked, “You Ran, what did you do that for?”
