"You are lying big brother." A voice in the group of children rang then a young boy around the age of 10 "I saw you earlier when you got home earlier, I am sure that you still have both arms earlier. You must have lost your arm to those man in black that appeared in the manor right brother?"
The young man was shaking from fear as he remembered the man in black who appeared earlier, he even felt the energy of those men and when he felt those energy he felt scared and almost pissed his pants.
Mada was left speechless he didn't know what to say. Earlier when he said those words to answer Mimi, it was only to calm everyone down and ease them, but he wasn't expecting someone to have seen him earlier except for Ling-Ling who he already warned earlier not to say anything about his severed arm.
[Sh*t why is these kids so restless. I am the one who got his arm severed I am the one that should be cowering in fear here. Aaaah I can't take this somebody help me."
Like the heavens answering his prayers someone spoke up from the crowd.
"Hiwu you must have seen wrongly, I am pretty sure that I saw little brother Mada earlier and he was already like this, don't you remember the Miss Angelica being angered earlier?"
The one that have spoken was a very beautiful girl with a petite body and innocent face and as for the age she looked around 14 years of age, Mada heard what the person spoke of his eyes lit up "Big Sister Ning is right you all remembered the rage of my mother earlier right? She was fuming with rage earlier that is also the reason why are moving. And as for the guys who appeared out of nowhere all of them are just monsters known as the... the black… black… black clothed rangers."
Hiwu heard Mada and asked "B-black clothed rangers? Don't make things up big brother Mada."
"You big brother Mada is making things those black clothed rangers are real and they appear randomly and we just got unlucky that they showed up here, so we must evacuate quickly." Ning who was at the side added information to convince the children at the side but some of them was still unconvinced so she immediately added "Move along now your parents are all doing something important and is busy so you must all keep quiet or the black clothed rangers are going to come again. But do not worry because our parents will definitely stop them so we must try to keep quiet okay?"
All of the children nodded their heads and all became quiet trying not to make any sound that will disturbed the adults who were doing something that looked important. Mada saw them quieting down so he looked at Ning who was standing by his side and spoke to her "Thank you elder sis Ning, if you hadn't said that the others just might go into a panic and even disturbed father and Uncle Mu and the others."
Ning nodded her head, this was Ning the only child of Mu and the one that acts like the elder sister of everybody inside the manor because of her age. She's also the strongest person inside the manor in the younger generation for she had already step into the Heavenly realm at her early age.
This kind of strength was already absurd as the known strongest person of the Purple Cloud City was only at the late stage of Earthen realm. Ning also knew this but because of her strength and age she was actually doubting the legitimacy of this news concerning her strength and all [The strongest of the City is only at the Earthen realm? That is full of bull it must at least be at the spirit realm right?]
But the truth was the known strongest was only at the Earthen realm there was no hidden expert only an old man in a mansion in the city, and regarding why Ning was actually known at the City for being the strongest it was because Mu didn't let her out of the Manor since she was a child.
Mu always say that "There are many bad things in the City and many powerful men and given your beautiful face my child me and your mother cannot let you go out of the manor unless we deem that you have enough strength to protect yourself."
And because of that she tried to train in order to get out just like how Mada was but she still wasn't allowed to go out despite her strength she even tried escaping but for some reason her father was always there where she tried to escape making her really upset.
But what upset her the most was when she heard that Mada was allowed to go out of the manor and when she heard it she went to find her father and asked why Mada was allowed to go out while she was not Mada being weaker than her but she wasn't able to find her father for the past months so she tried to ask her mother but she only answered her with "You are woman, and the young master is a man so he naturally have some leeway concerning the rules."
This made her angry so much that when she heard that her father got home she was prepared to bombard her father with reasons. But the events that followed made her unable to even converse with her father long enough to asked what was happening same with her mother as both of them was running around the manor.
She wasn't dissatisfied by this because she knew what was happening, because she could feel the undulations of the strong energy that made her feel fear in her heart and when she reached the garden at the back of the manor she saw the youths of the manor scared and confused making her feel useless as she wasn't able to do anything to calm them.
And when she saw Mada's who had a severed arm but was still trying to calm them down she regained her composure and assisted him in trying to calm the others down she even felt respect towards the young man in front of her.
"No problem, more importantly what happened to you?" concern can be heard from her voice.
"It is nothing, the pain have receded by now because of what my father did." Mada wave his remaining left hand showing that he was fine and continued to speak "More importantly big sister Ning what are we doing here in the back garden aren't we supposed to be running away by now?"
Ning shook her head "I do not know, I only heard from father and the other adults in the here about a Spatial transportation array but sadly I do not know what that is."
When Mada heard the about the Spatial Transportation Array he fell into a deep thought trying to remember where he have heard those words.
Ning saw the change in Mada's countenance then she asked him "Do you know anything about it?"
"I am not sure, but if I remember correctly father once to me about it when I was 8. He said that a Spatial Transportation Array were used by people to travel to long distant travels" Mada paused for a moment and continued "He even said to me that some particular Spatial Transportation Array is use to travel from here to another continent or those other realms from the myth. But this kinds of spatial transportation array is hard to use as it need large amount of energy to operate."
Hearing what Mada just said Ning was surprised by how wondrous of the spatial transportation array [amazing father uncle Suma have something like this in the garden]
While two of them where talking a weir kind of energy that was foreign to the both of them started fluctuating on the whole back garden. Light gray colored energy was now starting to appear around the back garden like it was creating a dancing around.
Ling-Ling who was at Mada's bosom crying lifted her head to looked at the surroundings when she felt the change on the air, seeing the beautiful gray colored lights her mood became somewhat better as her mood started to become better a smile gradually appeared on her cute face that have tear stains on them.
Mada saw her smiling and made him happy as he knew that his sister's mood was becoming better "Isn't it beautiful?" Mada said to her sister.
"Yes, Mother and Father did this right?" Ling-Ling was happy because the lights was truly beautiful to the eyes even making her forget some of what happened today.
The other children was also looking at the lights flashing everywhere making them awe struck to what they are looking at.
Then a shout was heard from the adults who was setting up the Spatial Transportation Array.
"The east pillar is ready."
"Same as the west"
"The south is ready to be use."
"The north is also ready."
Reports of the various people who were setting up outside of the light wall created by gray colored energies was heard loud and clear, and as the reports of the people from the outside was heard shouts from the inside of the light wall also started reporting the status of their work.
"The energy lines in all connected."
"The coordinates have been set."
"The energy is sufficient to make the instantaneous transportation."
Various reports continued to be shouted all over the place then a sound was made at the center of the back garden "Get ready we will now activate the array."
Angelica was in one of the shed of the garden same as the other women of the manor, most the children was also there and only Ning, Mada, and Ling-Ling wasn't in the shed.
"Ning bring Mada and Ling-Ling here we will be leaving now." Mera the mother of Ning called out to Ning while she was holding a glowing talisman.
Mera was beside Angelica they were both holding a talisman but Angelicas was shining more resplendently that what Mera was holding showing the contrast the two, the talisman that Angelica was holding was also where the gray lights of the surroundings gather and where they slowly congeal like it was attracted by a strong gravity.
And this gravity was growing stronger and stronger making the gray lights flow much faster to the talisman Angelica was holding.
The more the gray energy was flowing in the talisman made Angelica's face reveal sweats, this showed just how much she was feeling.
The light continued to flow then a boom was heard from the talisman that Angelica was holding. Then the light that talisman was absorbing begun to get out of the talisman but the energy from the talisman didn't scatter around the area of the garden but begun to flow upwards the sky like a pillar.
The pillar of grey light was enlarging from where the talisman that was in Angelica's hands as the focal point. The gray pillar of light was beginning to slowly fill up the whole garden like a sandstorm in a dessert.
The gray light was now about to reached the light walls then another boom was heard from afar coming from where Mada and Suma me from.
An old man was seen in the slowly floating in towards the garden, the old man floating in the air carried a bright light with him.
"Suma where are you going not inviting me? As a matter of fact you can just leave right now just leave my heir in order for him to inherit me." Shimo floated up in the air looking at the gray lights slowly congealing in the not showing any emotion except for indifference.
