The Night King: The Asura
Ch-168's chat. Assault
The Xu family residence.
"Basic stupid! What did you do until this simple task just didn't work out!?"
Xu Heijin was furious to know Xu Yan and his subordinates had returned empty-handed, he was even more furious when he saw many of them returning battered.
"Pardon us Patriarch, our duties are hindered by commander Ye" Xu Yan replied.
"Commander Ye?"
"True Patriarch, we've tried to explain if this matter is a personal matter, but commander Ye still interfered and blocked us for unclear reasons" Xu Yan explained.
"Cihh! The longer he gets the bigger the head!" said Xu Heijin.
"Well, for the moment we forget about the problem of the damn boy, because tomorrow we will attack the palace" he continued.
"Okay, Patriarch!"
After that, Xu Heijin left Xu Yan and his troops, he then went to meet the clan elders to discuss the matter of the assault they were about to make.
For now, Xu Heijin still did not realize that her plan had been known to the city king, so she still thought that the assault they were about to make would go easily.
"Our elders, do any of you have any advice?"
"Patriark, how about a nighttime attack?"
"Reason?"
"If we attack during the day, most likely, the other noble families will interfere, and the palace troops can also anticipate it easily, because they will know our movements."
"But, if we do it at night, other than it will be easier to infiltrate the palace, the other noble families will also not interfere, either, because they wouldn't have expected this attack we'd have done."
"What about the others?"
"We fully agree with the advice of the seventh elder."
"Alright, then this attack will be carried out at night" Xu Heijin said.
Meanwhile.
Unbeknownst to everyone, in the corner of the room was a black shadow hiding in the darkness, he was General Zhuo who was tasked with overseeing every action of the Xu family.
Then, after learning of the planned attack by the Xu family, General Zhuo then disappeared from there and immediately returned to the palace, because he had to immediately inform the king.
However, while on his way to the palace, General Zhuo's steps suddenly came to a standstill when he sensed the existence of someone who was also coming out of the Xu family's residential area, and out of suspicion, he, he decided to follow the man.
It didn't take long, general Zhuo finally caught up with the person who came out of the Xu family residence, but how surprised he was when he found out that person was Xie Long.
"Young Master, what is..."
"Uncle, I can't possibly let them do anything to my grandfather" said Xie Long, cutting off General Zhuo's words.
"But, since when has Young Master been there?" general Zhuo asked, because he really did not feel the existence of Xie Long before.
"Since uncle came and sneaked into the hall."
General Zhuo seemed surprised to hear Xie Long's reply, because, before sneaking into the Xu family meeting hall, he had confirmed that there was no one else there, but in fact he was wrong, because Xie Long had apparently been there first.
"Uncle, you should immediately return to the palace and tell this news to grandfather" said Xie Long.
"Okay, Young Master. But, what will Young Master do?"
"Uncle will know later" replied Xie Long, then darted away leaving General Zhuo.
After Xie Long left, General Zhuo then returned to the palace and immediately relayed the information he had managed to get and did not forget, he also conveyed about his meeting with Xie Long.
"Haha! You see that? At a very young age, he already has a tremendous infiltration skill, you can't even realize his existence."
"I'm sure that my grandson will become an extraordinary person in the future."

Time rolled back quickly, the attack time set by the Xu family finally arrived and as they had planned, they made the attack as the night got late.
Hundreds of Xu family warriors led directly by Xu Heijin shot into the royal palace, their movements so silent that they did not make the slightest sound, though they moved to the palace by jumping from one building to another.
After being close enough to the palace gate, Xu Heijin then stopped the movement of his troops, then he ordered one of his soldiers to kill the gatekeeper of the royal palace.
It did not take long, some of the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the palace gate were killed, because in addition to not realizing the attack, they were also sleepy so that it was easier for the enemy to attack them.
At the same time.
Unwittingly by Xu Heijin and his troops, a black shadow shot out at high speed and began slaughtering the retarded soldiers.
The way of killing him which was very instant and did not cause any sound made his existence and actions completely unknown.
Xu Heijin's army only stopped for a few seconds in front of the gate of the royal palace, yet the black shadow had already managed to kill over twenty soldiers without anyone knowing it.
"Forward!" said Xu Heijin, then darted into the palace with all his soldiers, as well as the black shadow that was between them.
After successfully passing through the gate, Xu Heijin and his troops had now reached the courtyard of the working palace, but they were very shocked when they saw Qing Zong Xian who was ready with his troops.
"Xu Heijin, you made me wait too long" Qing Zong Xian said.
"You... How did you realize that?"
"You don't need to know, because in a moment, I'll take you and your family to hell!" qing Zong Xian.
"Groan!"
Led by general Zhuo and commander Ye, the royal army rushed forward and began to attack, as did the Xu family army led by Xu Yan and the family elders.
However, their steps suddenly came to a halt when they realized that there was a sound of slashing coming from behind them, and instantly, immediately, the black shadow figure that had previously appeared in the middle of the army and started slaughtering them one by one.
"Who is that?"
Everyone had the same question in their minds, because none of them knew who the black shadow figure was, because other than wearing face coverings and all-black clothes, he said, the darkness of the night also made his figure very difficult to recognize.
"Wait what else, kill that bully!" said Xu Heijin.
"General Zhuo, commander Ye, help the man, he seems to be siding with the kingdom!"
"Okay, your highness!"
