338 SURROUNDED

Without a second thought he unsheathed his sword, ready to kill Senja regardless the Emperor order to bring her alive.

But the sudden commotion halted his initial attack. There were dozens of people in dark grey clothes burst into the courtyard and started surrounding the people that Wang had brought.

Both parties number seemed even.

Senja knew they were nearby. The Crescent Moon Members. They had been roaming around near the courtyard the moment Xiao Tianyao left. It must be him who ordered them to protect her.

"Surprise?" Senja chuckled. "So, tell me why do you come here? Is that the Emperor who ordered you?"

Wang Yu balled his fist and gripped his sword tightly as he tried to be calm. "You can't escape from this Senja, or whatever your name…"

"You can call me Senja, that's my name as well." Senja grinned and sat on the hand rail, still maintain the distance between them.

"I have an order to arrest you for interrogation." Wang Yu spoke with clenched teeth.

"So, in what reason that you assume that I will follow you willingly?" Senja tilted her head.

**Why I have to follow you? I still want to live!** Her inner thought grumbled. Even if Xiao Tianyao told her otherwise, Senja wouldn't follow him.

"Because this is the Imperial decree, you will bring trouble for the Black Sword Clan and especially to your grandfather if you don't follow me." Wang Yu glared at the impudent girl before his eyes.

Senja chuckled upon hearing his statement. "He is even not my grandfather, why I have to care?" She needed to praise herself for her ability to aggravate other people.

Besides, Xiao Tianyao had said to stay away from Wang Yu, no matter what and now since Elder Dam was with him, the grandfather would think the same as Xiao Tianyao as well.

Without waiting for Wang Yu replied, turned around, Senja dashed toward the Crescent Moon Member.

Looking Senja attempted to run away, Wang Yu roared his order. "Arrest her!!!"

Like in cue, both party started their battle as the clashing metal were heard and so deafening in the mid of the night.

The tranquil night turned into a fighting ground.

Wang Yu chased after Senja only to be disrupted by two of the Crescent Moon Member while Senja was whisked away by the other Members.

"Where is Xiao Tianyao?" Senja asked to the Crescent Moon Members beside her.

"Master only said to bring Young Miss Senja to the safety place if something like this happen." He replied politely while leading the way to the entrance gate.

Senja nodded. If that's Xiao Tianyao arrangement then she would follow without question.

For now, Senja was running with six of the Crescent Moon Member that put her in the middle. The six of them were in high alert that made Senja also feel their tensed.

When they stepped out from Senja's courtyard, Senja could sense the immense amount of hostility from the other side of her courtyard gate as she abruptly stopped.

"Over here." She said and led the six of them away from the gate.

It safe to say that the hostility that she felt was coming from the same people that Wang Yu had brought.

**Apparently he brought many people just to catch me…** Senja range of ability wasn't allowed her to sense the whole Mansion. So far, she just could sense people within her courtyard, that was why she knew the Crescent Moon Members were there.

Senja has been living for months in the Black Sword Clan mansion, so it was only right if she had known all the corner of this mansion like the back of her hands. She even knew some secret door.

"How many people did Wang Yu bring?" Senja asked in distressed because she felt those people were everywhere.

"He brought many of them and they scattered all over the mansion." The other Crescent Moon Member answered her question.

"Damn it!" Senja cursed under her breath. Because she felt bunch of them were chasing after them.

Senja stopped again.

"Young Miss Senja, what happen?" The man beside her asked when Senja suddenly stopped again.

"We are surrounding." Senja said in cold voice. There were too many of them. Senja couldn't find the safest route without encounter some of them.

The six Crescent Moon Members unsheathed their sword while one of them gave a sword to Senja. "I brought your sword Young Miss Senja."

Senja received her sword with surprised. "Oh, thank you." They were really had prepared for this. "This way." She guided them to enter Carye courtyard.

Because there were less of Wang Yu's people that Senja could sense from there.

When the seven of them crossed the yard, ten people confronted them. Out of instinct, The Crescent Moon Members faced their back against Senja as they circled and put her in the middle.

The fight broke in a flash the moment one of the enemy instigated the attack.
