Immortal Domination: White Emperor

It was evening and the merchants who came to buy some goods in chengdu were leaving in quick steps and some left after Going to the Changfeng escort agency to hire Guards in order to protect their goods as they head to their respective cities. the escort agency were highly respected and known for their exquisite service, with branches in all major cities is Wushu empire. A few Miles away from the western gate, just after the end of the Marble road signifying the entrance to the mountains and forest. There were a few hooded figures in black attires hidden in the bushes as they seemed to be waiting for something.

"old fifth, you said the white haired thrash of Xu family really came out with any Guards today?" a gruff voice sounded out from one of the hooded figures, from the way they were positioned he seemed to be their leader.

"I'm positive, I saw him by the fountain in Chengdu market." Old fifth replied, while rubbing his palms together.

"good, we can finally finish our mission of those years ago. i thought the child would never leave the manor." The Leader spoke once more making the others nod in agreement.

Meanwhile, Young Master Xu Yun was having a great day, he got an artifact, the perfect auxiliary Martial skill, an he got a power House to owe him a favor. So he was smiling like a Cheshire cat, but his joy was short lived as he noticed a few red dots on the radar of the right side of his screen. This made his face suddenly go dark as they got about 420m close to the red dots, he could now check their status.

After looking at their status his face got even more darker, this was not normal!! Why were Serpents passing off as bandits?! It makes no sense unless they were to assassinate someone and it was a case of being at the right place at the wrong time. But he just couldn't write out the possibility they were here for him either!. Serpents was a mysterious organisation that dealt with only assassination missions, they were all over the continent. No one knew anything about them except that they never fail a mission, no matter how long it takes.

The more he thought the more cold sweat ran down his body, "Uncle Chong, quickly turn the ca..." He suddenly realized that even if they turned back now, they were quite a distance from the city and with their cultivation, the carriage won't even go far before their horses were dead.

"!!!" Once again was shocked to find he was perspiring and his hands were shaking, after which he laughed in self mockery of how he claimed he would never be a victim and how he would change but look at him now. Still the same old City slum John, when faced with even the slightest danger or threat becomes a vegetable. He felt he had arrived facing mindless monsters but in the face of a real threat, his subconscious became all about running without even knowledge on if they were actually here for him.

"Young Master, you were saying something... Young.." Xu Yun only just noticed that the carriage driver was speaking to him.

"Uncle Chong, please take the carriage back to the manor after I leave" As he said this, the red dots began moving towards them with great speed, after all he had wasted too much time.

"What??!! Young Master!!its too..." Xu Chong protested immediately but too bad they fell on fell on deaf ears.

'Time to find out if if I'm the one they are after' gathering his thoughts he quickly activated wild goose steps before dashing for the forest through the window. Not long after the red dots went after him in full sprint.

Now that he was sure they were after him, he became confused as he doesn't remember offending anyone related to the serpent. As he was thinking he kept moving, thanking the heavens none of them went after Uncle Chong.

Hearing the sound of a waterfall, he ran in that direction and naturally the dots followed him.

On getting there, he was mesmerized, the rocks were glowing pale blue, as the waterfall raged on despite the snow at the edges of the rocks and its surroundings but the waterfall was unaffected.

Standing at the shore and looking absent minded as the rising Moon reflected on the water surface, as a faint moon glow showed on his hair.

He's suddenly reminded of a poem back on earth, as he said it out loud more to himself than anyone else.

"There is a hidden message in every waterfall. It says, if you are flexible, falling will not hurt you!".

This best described how he was feeling right now.

" hahaha, to think young Master Xu would Spot us from so far away. You're indeed great " the man who seemed to be the serpent branch leader finally spoke up.

Still maintaining his silence, Xu Yun looked at all five of them as his heart kept beating wildly but outwardly he looked calm.

"I'm Guessing you're the 'bandits' that killed my father." Xu Yun asked in a shaky voice but the waterfall covered up the trembling.

"Interesting perception you have there Young Master Xu but what makes you think that??" The man once again spoke up. But Xu Yun kept silent once again as he sized them up before he said once more.

Responding In a Placid Voice "But I wonder, do serpents never fail a mission?" .
