Chapter 93: Two intruders
Utara got confused by Xiao Tianyao request. Shouldn't he take precaution by alerted their army that someone have infiltrated and messed with their defense on their based? Why he is asking to check on Senja? These are 2 things that totally not connect at all.
However the moment Elder Dam heard Xiao Tianyao request his mind was went in different path from Utara's. Ever since they confirmed that Senja had been found, an odds event happened again and again. Starting from L clan appearance in City L at district 11, the murder attempt by one of the soldier who runaway from northern military camp and now someone committed arson. Probably he was just paranoid about his granddaughter safety however those reasons alone were worth to think about the whole picture of the situation.
Xiao Tianyao was right, if the reason of this fire was to draw their attention and the real purposed was Senja, then she is in danger now.
"Yes, we go now!" Elder Dam said with impatient and worry written all over his face.
Elder Dam thought he knew what Xiao Tianyao intention. Yet, both Elder Dam and Utara thought were wrong because Xiao Tianyao indeed has his own intention that differ from what they thought, and it hide deeply on that calm demeanor.
Before they could leave an urgent report came. It appeared that someone burnt the stables and scared all of the horses. So by now hundreds stallions were break free and running rampant all over the main fortress.
Naturally those horses wouldn't came near the kitchen because it was still burned, that was why Xiao Tianyao didn't aware of the commotion and only got the report by now about the whole situation.
There was ripple of anger on those calm eyes. He gave command with deep voice that was very cold "Seal the fortress! No one can go in and out! Those who disobey, kill without mercy!"
The soldier who received the command didn't dare to lift his head and then make an obeisance gesture before he left to carry the order "This subordinate will obey"

It took sometimes for Xiao Tianyao and Elder Dam to reach the later residence, where Senja stayed, while Utara was left to investigate the situation at the stables.
The moment they were arrived tens soldier surround the building. Immediately, an uneasy feeling was crept in elder Dam heart. He was right. The other party aim was Senja.
When one of the shadow guards who had been given the assignment to safeguard Senja saw Xiao Tianyao and Elder Dam, he emerged from the dark night and respectfully gave a bow to both commander and ex- main commander.
But, the anxious Elder Dam was very impatient right now to even hear a report. He needed to make sure first that his precious granddaughter was unscathed, thus he left Xiao Tianyao and the shadow guard without said anything or hear the report.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyao didn't immediately follow Elder Dam went inside the room. He stared at shadow guard who still knelt on the ground then told him to rise. "What the situation?"
The shadow guard summarized the situation. So it appeared that many soldier were pursued 2 black figure whose was suspected of being intruders that come towards Senja's room. They were on guard and prepared for the engaged combat however, one of the black figure was disappeared from their sight and with assumption that he managed to slip in inside the room 3 of them barge in while 2 more shadow guards together with the soldiers blocked the other intruders. However after the intruder saw the 2 shadow guards he changed his direction and flew away.
"Now, they were still in pursuit. We still waiting for the update"
"How about the one inside the room?"
