THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

The Yellow Cloak

***

Fang An's face was slightly gloomy after Zhang Wei told him everything that had happened to Jing Chiyi and her two children. Fang An noticed the sad faces of Xia Feihu and Xia Longli, they were both completely made to suffer by his own biological father just for the sake of a post.

"You two, do you mind if I kill your father?" ask Fang An.

"Just do it Brother Fang!" replied Xia Feihu who was full of hatred towards his father.

"Don't Brother Fang!" Xia Longli also replied, only the answer was different from her brother.

"Sister, he's not our father! Why do you still wish he would be a good father? Look what he did to us, even mother will be killed by him. Do you still consider him a father?" asked Xia Feihu.

"I know big brother, but no matter how bad he's done to us, he's still our real father. No matter how evil he is, there is no reason whatsoever to be able to decide if he is not our father," Xia Longli replied feelingly.

Zhang Wei only listened by shaking his head, as well as everything there including Fang An.

"What you say is true, but look at the good and bad! A father should be protective of his children, for example animals. As vast as animals, they will never let their children be in danger, but your father has a more abject nature than a Beast, so he is not a human being" Fang An said.

Xia Longli could only open his mouth shut without being able to answer anything, he could only duck with a feeling filled with dilemmas.

"So what's the condition in the city center right now?" bing Xuyue asked Zhang Wei.

"Very messed up! All the citizens were haunted with fear due to the tension from both sides! Right now the two sides are still on guard and a war could break out at any moment" Zhang Wei replied.

"When will Aunt Jing Chiyi be executed?" ask Fang An.

"Aunt Jing Chiyi will be executed in three more days in front of everyone, precisely in the city park," Zhang Wei replied.

Ever since Zhang Wei's mother became ill, Zhang Wei decided to join the Governor against Xia Ding. All that he did was not only because he had never recognized Xia Ding as his stepfather, but also to save his sick mother and was still in Xia Ding's hands.

"Do you know the power that Xia Ding has?" sao Yi Feng.

"He had ten bodyguards capable of Yu Zhu, three people capable of Yu Jing and an Xu Hun, not to mention his quite a lot of soldiers!"

"Ten Yu Zhu huh? It's really a huge defense!" muttered Fang An.

"It should be with your arrival, the power on the part of the governor should have been balanced, since the White Fortress had already sent out 30 troops of dark horses led by General Jia Xang who possessed the abilities of the elite Yu Zhu, who had the ability to do so, not to mention the Governor got help from the Blue group by bringing in 3 people Yu Zhu. Now coupled with the strength of Six Yu Zhu of you, then the strength of Yu Zhu on our side is already balanced, only for the three Yu Jing and an Expert..?"

"I will fight those three Yu Jing, for the figure who has Xu Hun's abilities, there will already be someone who will take care of him," Fang An said.

"Are you kidding? You want to fight three people Yu Jing alone? After all who would be the one to face that Xu Hun-capable opponent?" asked Zhang Wei.

Fang An smiled faintly at Zhang Wei's question and then he woke up while answering Zhang Wei's question, "What am I supposed to joke about? And as for the figure that will face Xu Hun's capable enemy, you will find out!"

Fang An walked towards the door and saw Tang Chin and all the Sky Lightning Members who were guarding outside, he glanced at Xia Feihu then said, "Three more days, I will go to the city park to save Aunt Jing Chiyi first," she said which made Xia Feihu and Xia Longli instantly react to hearing it.

"Thank you Brother Fang, I really don't know what else to repay your kindness with!" xia Feihu said.

"There is no need to pay anything, because you are my friends, anyone who wants to harm my friends, then he will face me," fang An replied then he walked over to Xia Longli and helped him to get up while saying, "It's time for the two of you to come out of this hideout, come with me to meet the governor," Fang An asked.

"But Brother Fang, what if my father's soldiers find all of us?" asked Xia Feihu.

"What can they do to you, as long as we are there to protect you, even if your father sends the one who has the ability of the Expert, then they must prepare to meet the King of the Hereafter," fang An said.

"Is he serious?" Zhang Wei muttered to himself with great concern.

"Aren't you Fang An's friend? Why aren't you sure about your friends?" ask Ling Hang.

"That's..!?"

"It's better that you just trust him, I'm sure you won't regret it if you believe it," Huang Yan said.

"Let's go and join the others at the Governor's place" Fang An asked.

Zhang Wei, Xia Feihu, Xia Longli and the Zhang Wei Guards hesitated a little, but they still followed Fang An out, and finally they together headed to the Governor's place and his troops in the center of the city.

Anxiously, Xia Feihu and Xia Longli walked over while paying attention to the surrounding situation, they were afraid of being captured by the Xia Ding warriors.

"It's really changed a lot since the last time I passed this place! The houses were like uninhabited houses only," Fang An muttered as he looked at the deserted houses and the doors and windows were tightly shut.

"Yes, it was very crowded here, but now it is very quiet like the city of the Dead" said Yan Hang.

"Don't anyone seen passing by, not even the shadow of the citizens is there, either" Tang Chin said.

"They're all actually inside and don't dare to come out for fear" Zhang Wei explained.

Fang An only nodded slowly, he would already know what the terrified citizens felt, according to him the war inside a settlement would only make people so paranoid that was haunted by fear.

"Boy, it's a member of the Yellow Cloak!" zhang Wei.

"Yellow Cloak Member?" Fang An raised his eyebrows sideways while asking Zhang Wei.

"Yes, it is one of the members of the Yellow region or the Western Region, they are Xia Ding's allies!" zhang Wei replied.

Xia Feihu and Xia Longli quickly hid behind the entourage, whereas the group of Yellow Robes that numbered seven people was still a long distance away, but Xia Feihu and Xia Longli were already very frightened.

Fang An who saw the two frightened brothers immediately approached the two and said, "I told you from today you don't need to hide anymore, come on!" fang An said.

Bing Xuyue and Meng Lin as well as Qiao Yi and Zang Mei coupled with Cia Ling immediately walked over to Xia Longli and Bing Xuyue with faces full of dazzling light that was smiling gently to Xia Longli as well saying, "We will protect you, if they dare to touch you, then they will feel the anger of the women," Bing Xuyue said.

Xia Longli slowly began to obey and then he ventured to join the five brave girls, while Xia Feihu fought his fear and walked beside Fang An.

Fang An turned to one of the announcements that turned out there was a sketch of Xia Feihu's and Xia Longli's and Zhang Wei's faces, and underneath it was written, "Anyone who could capture these three fugitives alive or dead, the Mayor would give a reward in the form of Gold Coins of 1000 gold pieces per fugitive for a total of 3000 gold coins, but if the one who caught him was a Cultivator, then the Mayor would give 200 Ziyuan per head for a total of 600 Ziyuan for the three fugitives."

"Truly demon-hearted!" Fang An immediately squeezed out the announcement and just as he was feeling emotion, the seven members of the Yellow Cloak who saw Xia Feihu and Zhang Wei immediately chased after Fang An's entourage cried out to stop the entourage.

"Stop you guys!" yell at one of them.

Everything immediately stopped and then the seven members of the Yellow Cloak surrounded Fang An's entourage as they unsheathed their swords towards Zhang Wei.

"Finally meet you here too! Quickly come with us to Mr. Xia Ding's residence," said one of them while watching all the troupe and his gaze stopped when he saw the beautiful girls.

"Hem! Really a bunch of Goddesses," he said while licking his drool that almost dripped when he saw the pretty faces of the girls especially when he saw Bing Xuyue's face.

"Tang Chin, Yan Hang, Wo Shian, Xang Wuhai! Don't let any of them live" said Fang An who did not look at the seven Yellow Cloak members who on average only had Yu Zhi's abilities.

"Good!" replied the four of them and then the four of them immediately released their energy which shocked the seven members of the Yellow Cloak.

"Yu Zha's strength is elite!?"

Wind energy immediately gushed against the bodies of the seven Yellow Cloak members. Clearly the strength of the four Yu Zha was not their opponent who possessed the ability of Yu Zhi.

The seven of them were slaughtered in just a short period of time by the four Yu Zha, as Fang An had already ordered, none of them were left alive.

"Zhang Wei, bring their Cloaks and throw them at Xia Ding's place, let him know if now he will deal with me soon," Fang An said.

Zhang Wei somewhat hesitantly did as Fang An commanded, he immediately took the robes of the seven Yellow Cloak members who had become corpses and then he accompanied by Sao Yi Feng and Lin Hang as well as Lin Ying went to Xia Ding's residence.
