32 Trouble Comes at an Unexpected Time! 2 (1/2)
While he was still sleeping, the Wen Wu City outskirt is facing a rigorous attack lead by the three third Lan Shan siblings. The attack received heavy retaliation from the city, but due to a large number of refugees escaping from the fire of war, the city gate was not allowed to be closed at this moment.
Fuelled with the experience from fighting and robberies, the eldest of the three siblings, Lan Shan Yi lead his people and charged into the City wall, and tried to destroys their enemies from the inside. The attack lead by him quickly gives out a result of a temporary victory, with many soldiers are either injured or killed. Corpses lying almost everywhere, but most of them belonged to a male.
As for those females, there was a special squad among them that specialized in drugging the females before they were dragged into a cage pulled by an Iron Scale Bull. This sight alone shows how organized is this troops of bandits, and also in their way in kidnapping, robbing, and killing.
But in the eyes of those higher-ups, such as the Seven Star Sect, this was a challenge to their authorities. Not even the Seven Star Sect can freely use the three Iron Scale Bulls in their collection, and yet the bandits from Orchid Mountain can simply drive one out for the sake of kidnapping female to be brought back home to ****?
And due to the written rule that was passed down from one generation to another, those above Sheng Tian Process aren't allowed to participate in these kinds of battles due to the unspoken rules, and so, only those within the Inner Qi Elder and below are allowed to participates. This restriction caused the destruction to alleviate further, causing more damage just because of the sake of protecting their image as a Sheng Tian Cultivators.
Soon, the Militarized Forces came out from their base and strike deep into the formation of the bandits, but what they did not imagine was the weapon of those bandits was smeared with the poison from their Orchid Mountain, known as Hallucination of Orchids. Like its name, those poisoned cultivators will begin to hallucinate, and everything they see in their eyes will turn into man-eating orchid flowers.
This poison soon caused internal damage to the Militarized Forces, because the poison forced their people to fight against their own. It was a very bad situation, which forced the people at the northern gate of the Wen Wu City is retreating back to the central.
With another layer of the defensive wall erected in the inner city, the Wen Wu City is safe for time being, until the aid comes from the Seven Star Sect.
At another side, their youngest leader, Lan Shan Yao is leading an attack towards the Apprentice Hall located at the Northeast of the Wen Wu City. Following behind him is a total of three hundred bandits, all of them in their 3rd and 4th stage of an Inner Qi Fighters.
But the moment they reach the Apprentice Hall, all of their gate leading into the building is closed tightly. The quick spreading news and fire burning from the City north gate allowed the members of the Apprentice Hall to prepare and quickly seal the doors before trying to defend themselves.
One of the members, which is the disciple that smashed the egg on his own and kneel before Zhang Wu Ji run to the top of the building and ignites an arrow before he fired them up to the skies. The exploded fireworks notified the slave disciples that worked in the Apprentice Hall before to rush towards the Master Senior Ninth's courtyard and bang his door ferociously!
”What happened!” Tang Yuan came out to see who dare to create trouble at night time, especially when their master is fast asleep.
”Brother Tang Yuan, Apprentice Hall shot a firework just now, that is our emergency signal! Please tell Master Senior Ninth!” the group of slave disciples quickly explained their reason, but before Tang Yuan reacts, the gong in the Training ground ranged, calling for a gathering of all disciples!
”Wen Wu City under attack! Wen Wu City under attack! The attackers are the people from Orchid Mountain!” many disciples that received the news immediately spreads the news of the attack, and tried to gather as much disciple as possible to react on this attack!
But this gathering will take a lot of preparation! By the time their preparation is completed, the attack will be over. But without preparations before dispatching people out, won't that equal to the act of ”Delivering food to the mouth of a tiger?”
As the gong continue to get beaten, Tang Yuan went to Zhang Wu Ji's door and knock politely, but in a more extreme manner. Since the youth wasn't sleeping, to begin with, he opened the door. Minutes later after he got briefed by Tang Yuan and the other slave disciples, Zhang Wu Ji prepared to leave for the city.
”Junior brother ninth, come up!” before he can react, a sword hovers just above his courtyard, with his eight senior brother and sisters were riding on top of their master's Flying Sword.
”This!” Zhang Wu Ji wanted to ask, but the important matter should come first! He jumps upwards and balanced himself on the sword, before the sword driven by the Grand Elder of the Right, Xing Yi Chen.
”Ask later! We will go now!” the grand elder drives the flying sword immediately as they headed at the Wen Wu City, but this action may cause disturbance to the public later, no matter if they won or lost. Because, in order to defend against the attack by the third generation of the Lan Shan Clan, the Seven Star Sect were forced to send in nine strongest disciples from the sect to deter their forces.
”Bam!” other fireworks were seen in the sky. That was where the Apprentice Hall is located.
”What a bandit! How dare you attack my efforts and my life achievements!” when the sword almost reaches the airspace belonged to the Wen Wu City, he noticed another explosion happened not too far from his place.
”Senior brother and sisters, I will protect the Apprentice Hall, everyone please be careful!” he hop and descends from the flying sword and went straight to the Apprentice Hall's direction in order to make sure nothing happened on his hard earn treasure and cash, his people, and of course, his buildings!
While he was running...
”Damn! How come the wooden door of their entrance is so difficult to destroy? We already chopping them for almost half an hour now!” the three bandits complaint because the door is still standing sturdy after so many strikes from their swords.
”Same here! The wall is not too high, but those defending behind the wall is what makes this issue difficult! How can they know where we will come in from?” a few bandits were injured after being stabbed by a spear the moment he tried to jump across the wall as high as six feet.

”Leave, let me get rid of this obstacles!”
”Three-Point Fighter Qi Fist!” Lan Shan Yao strikes at the Main Gate using his full 9th Stage of Inner Qi Fighter's strength, and still, he was shocked with the sturdiness of the door. Although his attack managed to cause a destruction force worth 22 points, it was barely enough to destroy the door with a strike! After the reduction of 16 points due to the poor physical defense, only 6 point of damage managed to destroy the door slightly, reducing its durability by 6.
”One more!” Lan Shan Yao strikes for the second, third, and fourth time, only to finally see an almost broken door. But his attempt is deemed to be a failure. Fuelled with the intention to obtain his boss attention, the three bandits went to attack the main door with their sword once more, and assist in the recovery to return to normal. The once almost broken door was repaired out of the blue due to the three idiot's attack.
”Are you here to help me or disturb me?” the thought angered him because that four strikes already took out almost 200 strands of Fighter Qi inside his body. Although he was a 9th Stage Inner Qi Fighter, his maximum limit of Inner Qi is only about 800++, thus the tiring part is normal for him.
”Stop! How dare you mess with me outside of my place!” Zhang Wu Ji appeared, along with the Iron Ruler on his right hand. He landed on the ground right in the middle of the bandits, and without a warning, the swing of his ruler strikes and landed a critical hit on two of the unaware bandits!
”Master Senior! Master Senior Ninth is here to save us!” the members of the Apprentice Hall cried out loudly, with swords and spears clashes at each another when those inside shouts. With a roar, the door is opened, as the twenty members from the Martial Art Department and Hunting Department came out to assist him.
”Fist of Destruction Qi!” the twenty people execute their killing move at the same time, blowing apart all the bandit's crowd away from them. The surprise was shocking enough to make all of them awed with it, while twenty of the bandits is crying on the ground, with few punches mark on their body and face.
But at this moment, those from Herbalist, Alchemist, and Forging Department went out from the building, and tied the bandits using the rope in their hand, and links them together, to not allow any of them successfully escape.
