542 IT WAS YOU?

Carried out Senja's command, Yi Qing's loud voice could be heard as he instructed the additional one hundred thousand soldiers to open the armory and took their sword.

Cheered and satisfied faces could be seen everywhere from the initially low spirited soldiers, since it was a direct order from elder Zhong, they couldn't say the otherwise. The old man had turned crazy by killing the person who opposed him.

When the news about the two elders' death traveled to the L city, Elder Zhong brought the additional seventy thousand cavalry from Xiao Tianyao's army with reason to defend the city.

However, ever since the additional troops arrived there was nothing happening in the Q city. The funeral of the two elders had done and the city was relatively bloodless, there was nothing that should be worry about.

Azura's mastermind seemingly had lost interest with the city as all their forces were concentrated in the L city where Xiao Tianyao's army was, they had cornered him to the capital city.

It was the last war. Once Xiao Tianyao was defeated those people would be able to freely enter the capital city and aided Xiao Zi's forces who were trapped inside with Xiao Jun and the other Senja.

The seventy thousand people who had been brought by Elder Zhong to secure the city, should have returned once the situation was conducive, but in fact they were trapped here and couldn't defy their general.

The sound of the clashing metal inside the tent was growing intense as Senja and Gong Xu were standing a hundred meter away from it.

Suddenly there was an agony cried along with bone- cracking sound, from the tent's door someone was thrown.

This person was bathing in blood and the initial green robe was tattered, however, based on the figure of this person she looked like a woman and was too young despite it was hard to recognize her.

A little while after, Elder Chen come out from the tent and charged toward the young woman who had hard time to fight the elder again.

Her legs wobble and with shaking hand she defended herself from the ferocious attacks. Only when she tried to turn around and ran away, Senja could see her face.

"Doctor Lin?" Senja uttered in disbelief.

When Elder Chen would give a final strike that could send her straight to the afterlife, Senja subconsciously drew her own sword and deflect the attack.

She was staggering back by the impact, in spite of his old age, but his stamina wasn't something that could be ignored.

"Wait, what happen? She is Xiao Tianyao's person!" Senja stood between both of them, but didn't fully give her back toward the Doctor.

"She is another traitor!" Elder Chen spat.

"What?" Senja turned her back and looked at Doctor Lin.

It was a pity that Senja had lost her ability or else she could have tell, what was her real intention. How could she deceived Xiao Tianyao all this time and Senja felt nothing from her.

"It was a misunderstanding…" She stammered, walking closer to Senja with frown, asking for sympathy.

Warily Senja stepped back, didn't want to be near her, lest she had been misjudging her all over this time.

"Senja… I didn't do it…" Doctor Lin staggered forward.

Senja was feeling restless when she saw Doctor Lin wretched figure. All the memories from the first time she met her and how she had thought of her as a sister made her frowned.

"Elder Chen, maybe this is a misunderstanding…" Senja turned her head to talk to Elder Chen when in a flash, she could see from the corner of her eyes, a green robe fluttered and something cold on her neck.

Before she could proceed what was happening, Elder Dam had reached out his hand and pulled Senja harshly toward him as her face landed with a thud on his chest and in the next second the last agony cried left Doctor Lin's lips, she fell on the ground.

Senja abruptly turned back and looked a sword slid across her throat and blood spurted out immediately, leaving a fishy smell.

Someone behind Doctor Lin drew back his sword that made her body limped and fell to the ground with eyes widened in surprised and mouth gaped open.

"She is working for Modama." Elder Chen explained.

Senja turned around to look at him, asking for explanation with her eyes.

"She was the one who had poisoned me and Elder Fu and also the one who have been feeding those teenagers from the Mountain Sui Sword Sect."

"I have told you before," Gong Xu cleaned up his bloody sword with a white handkerchief. "Those teenagers should have returned back to normal if it is not for someone had been feeding them with the same elixir regularly."

"Yes," Elder Chen nodded, wiping away a blood stain from Senja's cheek. "Elder Zhong didn't know anything about medicine and had never stepped into the secret dungeon."

"But, maybe she was under Modama's influence…" Senja tried to argue, she felt she had been betrayed as well.

"No," Gong Xu firmly rejected the idea. "She is with Modama since the beginning…" He looked at the bloody body that he had killed.

"How can you be so certain about that?" Senja looked at Gong Xu in the eyes, trying to figure out what was his reason to be so sure with his words.

However, his answer was beyond her imagination.

"Because she was growing up with me and my sister, her knowledge about medicine is from me. I taught her everything that she knew." Gong Xu looked at Doctor Lin for the last time before he covered her body with a white blanket that someone had brought over.

The chaotic night turned solemn as the vast sky glimmered with stars. The moon didn't come out, so the sparkling was very clear to see.

Suddenly, there was heavy panting from the tent and Elder Fu was standing there, battered and had a lot of small cuts over his wrinkled face, but he was fine. The blood that stained his front robe also wasn't his as he straightened his back and stood mightily.

His eyes scanned the scene before his eyes and stopped for a while on the white blanket that had drenched with bright red color, in an instant he understood, nodding at Elder Chen in tacit understanding as he reciprocated in the same way.

"We are leaving now!" Elder Chen announced.

Thunderous voices from enormous soldiers responded to his order vigorously, brandishing their sword and pointed it to the sky.

Senja stared at the white blanket that hiding Doctor Lin's dead body.

The drenched of the blood on the blanket reminded her about how Xiao Tianyao had suffered from great wounds and she was the one who tended his wounds.

If she was a traitor from the beginning…

Senja couldn't stop thinking, maybe Xiao Tianyao didn't die from his wound, but she had done something on him as well…

It was lucky that her ill intention was discovered earlier, but…

The image of her smile harmlessly and how she was the first woman who she knew the first time she arrived in this world and how she thought of her as her sister, clenched her heart and her stomach tightly.

The feeling of betrayal wasn't an easy feeling to deal after all.
