Capítulo 141: Who's the Bandit? (1)
Imperial father, can this son ask something?" the second child, Zhang San Ben asked. He was curious about his father's visits to the Li Jiang City personally and even brought the others with him.
"Is it about why I'm paying the youth so much attention?" the ancestor, Zhang Yu guessed.
"Yes, Imperial Father," he replied.
"Do you remember about the second Emperor's legacy?" the ancestor started to explain himself.
"Yes."
"As the historians recorded, his grand ancestor Zhang Xianfei is the strongest cultivator during that time and known as the most capable man when he was 40 years old."
"I believe that everyone here educated with the history of our Eastern Imperial Kingdom and our nine ancestors before Imperial Father's reign. Although Grand Ancestor Zhang Xianfei's story is impressive, nothing beats his ability to control three inheritance."
"He obtained the [Heaven Glancing Bloodline] when he's 19, the [Indestructable Sunstorm Body] when he was 25, and the [Heaven's Immortality Martial Vein] at 35."
"Why did Imperial Father wanted to... Heaven Glancing Bloodline! That kid possess the same Heaven Glancing Bloodline like Grand Ancestor! This fact alone means if we nurture him as much as we could, he can repeat Second Emperor Zhang Xianfei's legacy!"
His fact caused the entire group of cultivators to open their eyes wide watching at the Ancestor, Emperor, and the Core Zhang's King. But unfortunately, while the three foundation level individuals are considering the best for their Kingdom, the others think differently.
"If we let this younger generation get powerful, won't he stand on our head when he comes over to the Eastern Imperial Kingdom?"
"Impossible! Zhang or not, he's an outsider. Repeating the legacy of the Second Emperor? Hah! Joking!"
"I wonder where did he go. Hopefully, he died earlier before he comes and disturb us."
As usual, family or not... This is how the family of a strong survive. Unless your foundation is established, it would be impossible to come into somebody else's territory that has been built for a few generations.

"Brat! Hand over all your treasures and wait for your death!" the bandit leader warned him as they approach the youth surrounded by the twenty of them.
"Where is this place?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.
"You don't even know where you're? Listen well, this is the Upper part of the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress. And you're unlucky to meet us before you even do anything." the bandit leader laughed as he explains.
"I see. Where can I catch a Silver-Coin Panther? I will leave you with your life if you tell or guide me to their nest." Zhang Wu Ji questions them back before he answers them.
"Brat! If you continue to be ignorant, don't blame us..." the bandit leader speaks. But before he finishes, a sharp flying weapon struck the bandits beside him.
As there were no screams at all, the bandit leader took a glance by turning to his back, but what follows is few more flying stakes came forth and nailed the others on the body of the trees.
It took him a second or two to realize what happened, but that one to two seconds is enough for Zhang Wu Ji to send half of them to hell. With lesser than five bandits including the two bandit leaders, they try to escape.
"ZUP!" one more bandit was nailed on the tree as the four of them escaped.
Two more seconds later, only a bandit leader is left alive. But on his neck is a scar from the Silver Flying Stake. It did not miss, but it was used to warn the bandit leader to stop running.
"My Lord, please forgive this ignorant bandit for failing to recognize your ability. Please let me go, I beg you. I'm willing to leave all my belongings here as my payment." the bandit leader kneeled.
"Where is Silver-Coin Panther's nest?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.
"Southern from here, Middle part of the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress. But the location is inaccessible due to the danger from crumbling edges." the bandit leader quickly answered the question as his life depends on it.
"Good. Bring me there."
"But before that, collect everything from them included their clothing. Put everything inside this Spatial Plate and come back to me once you're done." Zhang Wu Ji throws the bandit leader a Wooden Universal Plate while he does nothing.
About fifteen minutes later, the works are done. Except for the Bandit leader, all the others were stripped naked, without a piece of clothing was left on them. Nineteen stark naked bodies were put together waiting to rot.
As for himself, Zhang Wu Ji followed the "guide" as they proceed, and happily work the Bandit Leader for free. The path ahead was partially safe from Wild Beast, but not bandits.
While the Bandit Leader aims to have the others to kill Zhang Wu Ji for him, the latter treats his effort as delivering the charcoal during the winter season.
More corpses were piled on the side of the road, stark naked.
After a few more attempts, the Bandit Leader finally gives up. They finally took the correct path leading to the Silver-Coin Panther's Nest. Although the way to their lair is challenging, the taming process of the Silver-Coin Panther is pretty easy.
What Silver-Coin Panther excels in was not fight, cultivation or soul tempering. It was better known as the Karma Pulling Panther due to their ability to grant their owners a stroke of good luck, a hint of prosperous karma, and more.
This is also the reason why their end destination is not some mountain or hills, but somewhere behind the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress. They were especially situated there for the sake of ensuring luck goes to the Bandit Fortress unreservedly.
Furthermore, the Silver-Coin Panthers need nothing else but Silver Metals. They're easily satisfied, and less demanding when it comes to their tributes. As long Zhang Wu Ji can make sure that he comes with good intention and gifts, the Silver-Coin Panthers will follow him willingly.
"Young Lord, I've brought you here to the nest, please let me go." the Bandit Leader was in a hurry to leave this location as if he knows something is hiding here.
"Zhan Yu. Keep him here while I'm exploring the Silver-Coin Panther's nest. If something happened, kill him first before you come in to help me." Zhang Wu Ji summoned his Servant Puppet out to assist him, while he entered the nest.
[Master. Sheng suggest that you use the bloodline power when you're exploring the nest]
Sheng provides him with an opinion what was accepted. Without further ado, he activated his Heaven Glancing Bloodline to look further before he steps forward to the nest.
As he expected, the path was rigged with a whole lot of celestial trap, formation arrays, and mechanisms before he reaches the top of this small mound where a nest of seven Silver-Coin Panthers. There are two adults, most probably a pair of husband and wife, and five younger Silver-Coin cubs.
Holding the piece of High-Grade Fool Silver Ingot in his hand, Zhang Wu Ji steps closer to their nest and begin to feeds the human with foods. But weirdly, only the four cubs came forth to enjoy their meal, with a single cub seemingly weak and injured.
He knows that his Small Nourishment Art could help the weaker cub, but as he tries to steps closer, the pair of Silver-Coin Panthers bares their fang with an intention to kill.
Their power is not worth worrying, but the aggressive behavior does. Zhang Wu Ji knows that it was unwise to approach them in a hurry, and took two additional Fool Silver Ingots as he pushes them closer to the parents.
One of the pair, most probably the father, went down and took a sniff on the Silver Ingot, and with a quick bite, it crushes the entire Silver Ingot and chewed.
"And this is their bullsh*t saying the Silver-Coin Panther is not good in a fight. If that jaw bites me, even my Qingyang Fortress Body will felt painful." Zhang Wu Ji felt threatened by that ability to crush and chew Silver Ingots before they swallowed.
"Ou..." one of the cub dropped on the ground as if it was having a portion of bad food. But as he looks at the still healthy father of the Silver-Coin Panther, Zhang Wu Ji can only make a random conclusion.
"They're not well developed to eat high-grade Fool Silver Ingots. Forcefully eating them with results with too much energy in a weak digestion body." Zhang Wu Ji turned to the younger cub and tried to heal it.
But facing the louder growls from the pair of parents, Zhang Wu Ji is puzzled with what he supposed to do! He thought about this situation for a moment before Sheng gives him a suggestion.
[Heal the cub, master! Activates your Qingyang Fortress Body to defend their first attack]
"Small Nourishment Art!" Zhang Wu Ji injects a portion of his Fighter Qi into the young cub, where it started to get better. But the parents failed to notice this situation and gave him a bite on both his neck and wrist.
"Aargh!" although he was protected by the Qingyang Fortress Body and Pure Jadeskin Inheritance, the pain inflicted on his cannot be ignored. But while they're stuck in this situation, an alarm within the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress started to cry.
"This alarm? Intruders inside the Silver-Coin Panther's Nest! Gather our men and go there to capture the thieves!" one of the Eight Fortress Leaders of the Stronghold ordered.
"This is the ninth bell, which activated if anyone tries to attack the Panthers. But what happened to the earlier defensive obstacles? Did the thieves found another way to went inside the nest?"
"And this happened when the Chief, Vice Chiefs, and Four protector is out for an auction within the Celestial Gate. Is this an Internal Disturbance or Exterior?" the Fortress Leader questioned.
Back at Zhang Wu Ji's situation, a soft growl from the healed Silver-Coin Cub stopped their parents from continuing to attack. Both let Zhang Wu Ji free as it rushes to the cubs.
When it noticed the younger cub is healthy again, the father gave a soft growl in reply. This caused the mother Panther to quickly took the weakest cub on its neck and came forward to the human.
It gives out a lick on his wrist, and gently bite his finger to pull it closer to the weakest cub.
"You want me to heal this one too?" Zhang Wu Ji said. It wasn't that important for him to capture them, but looking at their bond, Zhang Wu Ji felt a little too... Unforgivable.
Back in his previous life, he was an orphan. He wishes parent's love more than anyone else, which made him accepted the former Zhang Wu Ji's father without a hint of despise.
And as he looks at this family of Silver-Coin Panthers, Zhang Wu Ji's cold and emotionless heard where he just killed more than few thousands of soldiers melted.
"Small Nourishment Art." Zhang Wu Ji healed the cub and the others. Of course, the parents weren't an exception. The seven of them was blessed by this human, while themselves landed their jaws on this savior.
[Master, I have two important things to tell you. Both of them is not good news]
"Go ahead." Zhang Wu Ji replied.
[It seems like the bandits caught wind of our existence within this nest. They're at least three hundred cultivators, half of them in their Half-Step Inner Qi Soldier strength]
Sheng's report is simple and direct. But she missed the second matter.
When Zhang Wu Ji activated the Servant Eye Function, he caught the live view of the enemies attacking at his direction.
"Oops. Seem's like we're in big trouble now."
"Anyway, what is the second issue?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.
[The system deem the weakest cub you healed earlier is dangerous. I would suggest master kill the cub before it grows into a disastrous beast]
[And as additional information to you, the cub seems to carries a similar strength and bloodline like the Mutated Sun-Swallowing Plant]
