**What is happening?** He thought in panic.

Wang Yu looked over at Senja who was towering above him with dull eyes. His awareness was fading while he was trying to focus on his pain to keep his consciousness.

Meanwhile, Senja breaths were uneven as she gritted her teeth in concentration. It seemed the poison has started to kick off her system.

When she was trying hard to gather her concentration while fighting the effect of the poison, something sharp pierced her left shoulder through her chest and stuck in her body.

She looked down at her chest and saw the sharp point of the arrow as the pain came after that. It stung her nerves and immobilized her, forced her to drop on her knees and released Wang Yu's neck.

The spell broken and the first thing that Wang Yu did when he regained his self- conscious was issued an order to kill all of them.

"Kill her!!!" He hollered. "Kill them all!!!"

Senja didn't realize since when Yoda and the two guards have approached her, but now they were defending her from every attack that was floated around them.

Yoda was shouting something to Senja, but she failed to catch his word.

The deafening of clashing metal was soon fading as Senja felt her consciousness was starting to drift away. She tried to keep her eyes open, but it seemed her body has failed her and her heavy eyelids slowly shut close.

.....

Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun were inside the study room together with three other people. From the looked of it, all of those people who were present inside the room were important people who was holding significant role in this entire war.

They were in the middle of heat discussion when someone knocking the door in urge.

In annoyance tone, one of them who looked older than the other replied with his guttural voice. "Come in."

With that permission, a young man hastily walk inside the room and paid his respect to all of them before he conveyed his urgent message.

"Liu Wei," The older man who gave the permission earlier called out the young man who just entered the room. "I supposed this news is very important for you to dare enough to disturb our discussion."

Liu Wei looked at his Master, Xiao Jun, for a brief moment before he spoke with shaky voice. "This subordinate has just heard news from the border."

"What is it?" This time, it was Xiao Jun who asked him.

"Answer to Master. Our people gave a report that hundreds of Shadow Guard from The Black Sword Clan who was supposed to meet with Elder Dam's group was ambushed by the Golden Arrow Archer…"

"Golden Arrow Archer…" The man with white beard sneered when he heard it. "Xiao Wang Wei's useless troops won't have a chance to stand The Shadow Guard from The Black Sword Clan."

"And then what happened?" Xiao Jun probed.

"The Shadow Guard managed to overpower The Golden Arrow Archer, but they were late to reach the border line."

"Nothing important to mention then." The older man commented, apparently upset because Liu Wei had disturbed their meeting with this insignificant news.

"But," Liu Wei voice was terrified when he continued. "… Elder Dam was killed."

The effect of the news was mind blowing and hard to discern, thus it took a little bit time before it registered to them.

"What!?" The five of them bolted on their feet and inquired in unison.

"How could that happen!?" The last man who didn't say anything from the first time Liu Wei entered the room, stomped over him and demanded right before Liu Wei eyes. "That is impossible! Where you get that news!? Don't blurt out a trash!"
