章節 143: Who's The Bandit? (3)

"Search all over the forest. Find me the culprit that destroys our Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress!" the Bandit Chief ordered the others as he inspects the grade of their losses.

At this moment, the entire Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress is demolished to the last piece of their brick. The damage itself destroyed their entire foundation, leaving them with nothing but deficits for at least a few years before they balance their account.

As for Zhang Wu Ji, the sixth Silver-Coin Panther fall asleep as he retreats, putting him in a beneficial situation because he unexpectedly found the correct way for him to escape efficiently.

He dare not to take his time this time and quickly rushes outside of the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress territory. If he was caught, perhaps ten lives of his will not be enough to subdue their anger.

From the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress territory, Zhang Wu Ji passed the border and went in between of the Flame Burial Sect and Silver Wolf Gate, until he finally reaches the intersection to the Celestial Gate or Seven Heaven Sect.

"That's the entrance into the sect. I won't be lost again this time." Zhang Wu Ji said and controlled the Flying Sword straight across the barrier, and was given the approval to enter due to his status as Head Disciple for the Second Heaven Mountain.

"Head Disciple Zhang, you're required to report yourself in the Seventh Mountain Hall." one of the enforcers with the rank similar to Wu Jing approaches when he crosses the Formation Array.

"Understood. Would senior be kind enough to guide this junior there?" Zhang Wu Ji extended his hand with a Qiyue Flying Sword on his palm. After agreeing to do so, the enforcer leads the way to the Seventh Mountain.

Here, he was greeted with enormous buildings, marking their status as the leader of the different departments scattered in the lower six mountains. They're also the decision maker for the lower branches when needed.

"Disciple brings Head Disciple Zhang Wu Ji from the Second Heaven Mountain." the Enforcer kneeled and reported to everyone within the Seventh Mountain Hall.

"Rise. Leave us alone and inform the guards to disallow anyone other than Sect Patriarch from coming in." the person seated in the middle of the seven elders waved his hand as he speaks.

"Disciple understood. Please excuse this disciple." the enforcer bows and retreated. Now, only Zhang Wu Ji alone is standing before the seven mountain elders.

Among them, he'd seen the First and Second Mountain Elder before.

"Zhang Wu Ji. First of all, good job in bringing back some fame for the Seven Heaven Sect. The seven of us all agreed that your remarkable accomplishment should be rewarded." the Seventh Mountain Elder started.

"Disciple Wu Ji only did what he thinks is correct." Zhang Wu Ji replied.

"Good. Young one should always be energetic enough to face all challenges. Or else, how would they grow and replace all of the old ones here and bring the Seven Heaven Sect further?" the Seventh Mountain Elder added.

"We'll reward you with the right to choose a Manual inside the Fifth Heaven Mountain. But..." the Seventh Mountain Elder said, but his end sentence come out with some difficulties.

"Is there a problem, Elder?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.

"The Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Heaven Mountain all come with their own entrance restriction. Even as an elder ourselves, we have no right to interfere with the entrance test." the Seventh Mountain Elder said.

"Without even been given the opportunity to study the third and fourth Heaven Mountain's Manuals, the possibility of overcoming the Entrance Test is practically impossible." Sixth Mountain Elder added.

"Even all the prodigies of the Fifth Heaven Mountain added together, I bet that only the top three of the first seeded disciples, Ren Qian Wu, Cai Jian Hao, and Pu Tao Zhao are capable of doing it." the Fifth Mountain Elder added.

"Disciple can try. It doesn't hurt to be taught by the Test personally on how tall a mountain could be." Zhang Wu Ji replied.

"What does the other elder think?" the Seventh Heaven Elder asked.

"Answering to Seventh Elder, Sixth willing to see another wonder instead of waiting for it a year or two later." the Sixth Mountain Elder is the first to answer.

"Fifth agreed."

"Fourth agreed."

"Count third, second, and first inside."

Everyone gives their consent to Zhang Wu Ji taking the test. In their mind, it was puzzling because they're partially hopeful and partially depressed. Even the Sect Patriarch possess no such a might to challenge the examination.

"To do this challenge, you first needed to overcome the Third and Fourth Stage Mountain Formations before you can challenge the Fifth Mountain's Test. Are you sure you're ready to face such a challenge?" the Seventh Mountain Elder asked.

"Answering to the elders. Disciple Zhang Wu Ji is ready," he replied.

"Good. Let us know the time, we will..."

"I'll do it now. Let's not waste the elder's time." The Seventh Mountain Elder was halfway in his sentence before Zhang Wu Ji interrupted. Before he waits for them, he went out from the Seventh Mountain Elder's Hall and went straight to the Third Heaven Mountain.

"This youth! Atrocious!" the elders said. But they did not hesitate and followed the youth on his track. The moment the youth provokes the Third Stage Mountain Formation, it tells them how decisive is that youth.

"He's too rash. The Third Stage Mountain Formation is guarded by two Early Stage Inner Qi Soldiers. Although it was just an early stage, the two Scarlet Berserker Crows never lost before even before we captured them from... What is that!" The Third Mountain Elder was surprised before he finished what he was saying.

"So quick?" the others took a view on the Third Heaven Mountain, where the youth is riding on top of a Scarlet Berserker Crow as the second crow hovers from one side to another.

"Aargh! My Scarlet Berserker Crows!" the Third Mountain Elder wanted to cry from his losses.

"Hahaha, let it go. You can catch another two beasts later. I can't wait to see how the two Jadehorn Fire Bulls fight." the Fourth Mountain Elder replied as he pats on Third Mountain Elder's back.

"Wait until your two dumb bulls going to get tamed by that kid." the Third Mountain Elder replied and took the lead to chase the youth. Following behind him is the other six elders.

Listening to what Third said, the Fourth Mountain Elder started to get worried as well.

"Look! That's the Second Heaven Mountain's Head Disciple! He's challenging the Fourth Stage Mountain Formation!"

"Big news! Big news! The Head Disciple of Second Heaven Mountain is challenging the Fourth Stage Mountain Formation!"

"How can he challenge two mountains above his position!"

"He's riding on top of the Third Heaven Mountain's protector, the Scarlet Berserker Crow!"

"What!!!"

"Why I'm not the Third or Fourth Heaven Mountain's disciple! We can't get through them to view the fight!"

The news of his amazing performance is quickly spread across the entire Seven Heaven Sect. The moment it went to the ears of those disciples from the Sixth and Seventh Heaven Mountain, all of them started to pay interest to this youth.

In fact, the disciples from the Sixth and Seventh Heaven Mountain's disciple finally made their debut. They're 670 disciples in total. The most surprising thing from all of them is that they possess their own Flying Tool or Beast to travel around.

But nothing beat the twenty disciples in the back of their formation, especially the disciple riding on top of the Azure Kong-Que. She's Bai Xue Xue, the daughter of Sect Patriarch Heaven King and strongest disciple of Seven Heaven Sect.

"Moo!" one of the two Jadehorn Fire Bull charged at Zhang Wu Ji, but the charge was stopped by him through physical strength. His power is so strong it allowed him to overcome the bull in many ways.

"What kind of physical strength is that! That's a Jadehorn Fire Bull!" the Fourth Mountain Elder exclaimed. Except himself, even the other six Mountain Elders starts to sweat.

"Moomo!" the other Jadehorn Fire Bull took the opportunity to attack.

"Not good! With both hand fighting against the first bull, he's incapable of fighting against the second bull!" the Fifth Mountain Elder said.

"Zhan Yu!" Zhang Wu Ji shouts. From his Spatial Ring, a Servant Puppet came forth and fought against the second Jadehorn Fire Bull. This sudden arrival of a helper stunned the others spectating the fight.

"Servant Puppet!" the First Mountain Elder is the one surprised the most. He's also the person that knows about Zhang Wu Ji's participating in forging the Metal Puppet for Master Jiang Lei.

"Anyone capable of forging his own puppet?" Bai Xue Xue questioned the 669 of them. As the younger elites of the Seven Heaven Sect, the 670 of them are the foundation for their future.

Nobody nodded to her question, where it answered her clearly that none of the younger generations are capable of creating their own puppet. Without a Servant Puppet at least, how can the disciples confidently grow?

Like Bai Xue Xue, Yang Qing narrowed his eyes too, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction towards the youth.

"Won't this kid took my spot beside Senior Sister Bai if I'm not capable of forging my own Mechanical Puppet?" Yang Qing said. But Zhang Wu Ji did not know that this person is Fourth of the Yang Seven Spears, Yang Qing.

"Nine Meter Travelling Fist!" Zhang Wu Ji sent his attack out and beat both bulls until they give up on retaliation. By activating his tyrant Martial Body's strength a little, he easily tamed the two Jadehorn Fire Bulls and prepared to leave to the Fifth Heaven Mountain.

"Are he not going to stop there?" the elders said as they look at the youth going straight to the fifth mountain.

With such an entourage following behind him, Zhang Wu Ji made his way to the Fifth Heaven Mountain and prepared to activate the formation, but what came out is not Strong Beast, but an exceptionally made puppet.

"Puppet? That's my opponent before I passed the test to enter the Fifth Heaven Mountain?" Zhang Wu Ji guessed before he withdraws his weapon.

But in the first step of his opponent's move, a swing of the Puppet's hand easily creates a circle of Formation Array that restricts everything within its territory.

"What the hell? Is this a test of formation?" Zhang Wu Ji was surprised by the unexpected attack.

"Chief, we're done taking care of our fellow bandits. What should we do now?" one of the Fortress Leader reported as he prays in mind that the Bandit Chief will not vent his anger on him.

"Good. Temporary rebuild the Fortress. The Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress will have a facelift after so long." the Bandit Chief replied. But from how he looks, the Bandit Chief's mood is still sour as to date.

"Understood." the Fortress Leader quickly come out from the tent before the Bandit Chief gets angry. Before him, two Fortress Leader had died. One is because of his mistake on a failure to bring the key away from the Fortress when he's away.

As for the second, it's due to he's the instigator for the destruction of the Xuan Wu Bandit Fortress. Worst of all, the nest of Silver-Coin Panthers is taken away by the bandit.

Inside his mind, the Bandit Chief is suffering from the guilt of shame because of his incompetence in catching the bandit, stopping him from destroying their fortress, and so on.

Worst of all, it's because of his reputation as one of the well-known person within the entire Middle South State. As a Chief of the Xuan Wu Bandits, what is more, shameful than having your fortress destroyed and treasures stolen?

"All of you, tell me if you can answer..."

"Who's the Bandit!!!"
