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 rape?

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.

"How dare you mess with me! Three-Point Fighter Qi Fist!" Lan Shan Yao angrily shouts and execute a three chain attack at Zhang Wu Ji, but through a swing of his Iron Ruler, he deflected two attacks, and received the last attack with a heavy strike from his middle tier Fist of Destruction Qi!

The retaliation from Zhang Wu Ji pushes the opponent back, but he did not relax himself seeing he was able to overcome the attack. This may just be the weakest attack from his opponent to gauge his strength before he retaliates in a profound manner. But for the bandit boss, this ends up as a disgrace! The reason is simple, it was because by saving himself from landing a deadly strike, it means;

"You're looking down on me!!!"

Lan Shan Yao pushes his strength to his top, and like a ferocious beast, he strikes forwards with both palm were covered with his Fighter Qi. With such a risky charge, he must have some trump card hidden in his hand. His both palms randomly strike the stones and building as he approaches Zhang Wu Ji, and up to his expectation, this Bandit leader did hide his trick from his opponent's sight.

His hand turned into his back, and with a pull of his wrist, a soft copper made sword was revealed Lan Shan Yao strikes his strongest and deadliest attack.

"First-Wave Strike!" unexpectedly, he executed the lowest tier attack from the Three-Wave Sword Art, the Sword Art that made his father's name famous in the Seven Star County.

But it was unfortunate...

This is why they say, Luck is important in this kind of situation.

"Shatter Strike activates!" Zhang Wu Ji activated the 2nd special ability possessed by his Iron Ruler. And with a heavy strike, his attack destroys the copper sword which was made from a very soft alloy material, before the Shatter Strike landed on his body.

Three strikes. One on his chest, one on his back, and the last one on his pelvis. This three Shattering Effect Strike cracked almost all the bones in his body before Zhang Wu Ji tied him up. As for the others, he easily defeated them along with his members, and lead to the North Gate to provide assistance.

Following behind him is the 301 bandits that were soon to become his bargaining chips when he tried to stop the other bandits. Although the others wanted to follow Zhang Wu Ji, he stops them from doing so, and only allowed the ten from Martial Art Department to helps. With ten more people helping in handling the bandits, they make their way forward.

And while walking like a slave is chained together, Lan Shan Yao keep thinking about what had just happened just now. If his memories did not fail him, he remembered that the blacksmith of their Lan Shan Clan said before;

"The Soft Bone Copper Sword is my best creation that will not break or shatter no matter in what condition. It will be the best weapon for you."

"Did uncle lied? But he dote me so much, which means the weapon is impossible to be destroyed in a simple strike. There must be something wrong with his ruler. It was made of Iron, based on the weight, it should be extremely heavy, but how can he wield it so easily?" Lan Shen Yao went into his deep thought even when they already reach the north gate.

The remaining bandits are still fighting against the other soldiers and the eight direct disciples of the headmaster. With the eldest senior brother and the second brother handing the two Lan Shan siblings, the others were quickly handled and awaiting for their further actions. Zhang Wu Ji ordered his people to keep a watch on the captives and charged forward.

At this moment, Zhang Wu Ji position is almost standing above their eldest brother. Because of his straight and direct attitude, most of his action obtained the approvals from his senior brother and sisters. With his participation in this battle, their spirit rouse, where the fight against the remaining five hundred bandits ends very quickly, without too many casualties.

As for the small numbers of poisoned soldiers, Zhang Wu Ji utilized the Crystal Surgeon Knife in his hand to remove their poison, before they returned to normal. But the side effect of the poison had seeped into their mind, leaving some trauma in their mind forever.

Not too long in their battle, the 900 members of the bandits are all caught, leaving the two Lan Shan siblings still fighting against two of the Seven Star Sect's disciples.

"Hahaha! What a great Seven Star Sect. I see you send all nine disciples to catch us. Do you think that will become possible? Even if you win, your name will be smeared by us!" Lan Shan Yue, the second of the three siblings comments as she was getting tired under the persistent attack from the second senior brother.

"Smear our name? You lots from the Lan Shan Clan is not qualified!" Zhang Wu Ji answered her comments with his own decisive and mighty tone. Carrying the impression of a scholar with an Iron Ruler on his hand, Zhang Wu Ji steps forward while pulling the youngest Lan Shan Yao our from the crowd. His action was out of everyone expectation, but it was normal in Zhang Wu Ji mind because he watches too much movie during his previous life.

"Let me ask. If a dog bites you, will you bite the dog back?" Zhang Wu Ji quotes a word he heard in his past, but when they heard his question, their answer was unexpectedly...

"Yes!"

"Of course, it was to protect my own life!"

"What the hell?" Zhang Wu Ji questioned their answer, but after he heard their reply, it was normal...

The Lightning Hound Beast was a Wild Beast with an estimated strength of around 15th Stage Inner Qi Warrior. If they were bitten by a dog like the Lightning Hound Beast, of course, you will need to bite them back, at least you can still land a few attacks on them...

"My point is, you bandits are not worthy to smear the name of the Seven Star Sect. So what if we sent our people to defend against your attack with our full strength? This means that we place the people within the Seven Star County as important as our own! Facing an attack from the bandits like you, I believe even those that not from our county will step forward to fight!"

"I would smear my own if we failed to stop you people, but what is happening now? You lots are under our mercy!" Zhang Wu Ji strikes his blade of words deep into the heart of the two siblings, and at this moment, the flame of anger inside they heart explodes! This leads the two to attack Zhang Wu Ji with the intention to kill!

"Do you think I will be scared by your attacks?" Zhang Wu Ji raised his Iron Ruler, and swing three times toward the two. The three swings generate six air blade in total, causing them to defend themselves while airborne. The pressure caused the two to fallen backward, but before they can take an action, the tip of the ruler already reaches before the eyes of the two, and with a slap from the Iron Ruler, it sends the two down kissing the ground!

"Aargh!" the oldest of the three, Lan Shan Yi cries and swing his sword to executes the Dual Wave Strike from the Three-Wave Sword Art, but it was deflected by the same attack from Zhang Wu Ji. This sudden changes shocked the crowd included the three siblings.

"How can he execute the Dual Wave Strike with such a precision? The attack that was executed without any effort at all!" Lan Shan Yi calms himself before he steadily steps forward once more. This time, with a very precise movement, he executed the same Dual Wave Strike for the second time, but like how it was before, a simple swing cancel out the attacks, before Zhang Wu Ji charged at his opponent and gave him a heavy strike, beating his soul out from his mind in a single hit.

Zhang Wu Ji soon turns his sight at the remaining lady standing there. With the Iron Ruler on his hand, he steps forward, seeking to take action in case she did not have any intention to surrender. One step after another, he soon reaches two steps right before the lady.

"Aww... You're a bad guy! How can you come so close with the intention to hurt me? Please be gentle to me ok?" the shameless Lan Shan Yue suddenly turned into a timid young lady that was so good in her pestering act. It even caused a few of the guys to have a hardon seeing how seductive is her movement. Unfortunately, all this seductive technique were useless against Zhang Wu Ji...

"My exposure towards pornography is even more than what you think, little lady! Do you seriously think that you can be a match against those amazing busty lady like what I've seen in my previous life?" Zhang Wu Ji almost wanted to blurt out all the amazing experience he got in his first youth.

"It's ineffective?" Lan Shan Yue was stunned with the all resistance Zhang Wu Ji. In a side fact, this is almost like a perfect husband candidate for the ladies all over the world. Decisive, Charismatic, Sharp, and High Integrity. All sorts of wonderful praises seemed to be made only to reflect this youth better. Even the despicable Lan Shan Yue wasn't resistant to such a charm.

"It was effective, but in a wrong way!" Zhang Wu Ji answered her question, and with an accurate swing, he placed the lady lied facing down on a piece of rock as tall as one meter, before the slap from the Iron Ruler came in! Instead of being seduced to do all sort of naughty things on her, Zhang Wu Ji was seduced to do something naughtier!

"You like to seduce people? I will let you learn something call, Obedience!"

The Iron Ruler turn into an iron snake, whipping her buttock without mercy. Whenever a layer of her clothing is torn, he will replace them with another layer of pelt for two reasons.

The first is because of no matter how, the purity of a lady cannot be tarnish, even if she was a part of the bandits, to begin with. As for the second reason, it was simple. The longer he whips her, the worst the injuries will be. By placing a piece of pelt in between his Iron Ruler and the smooth buttock, at least, the clean bottom of the lady can be preserved. This is the last of the consideration he gives to the lady.

After a hundred whips, he finally stops. Leaving the situation to be handled by the people from the City Lord and Militarized Forces, the nine hundred and three bandits were all locked inside of a prison and awaits for the delegates from the Seven Star Sect to arrive before having all of them brought to the court to be judged.

"The city residents are grateful for your help in helping us to went through this journey together. We can't thank you enough for your kindness!" the crowd filled with the resident of Wen Wu City kneeled before the nine disciples and one elder.

This sudden gesture made all of them uncomfortable because those overbearing attitudes weren't something the nine disciples enjoyed. And in order to remove the awkward situation towards all of them, Zhang Wu Ji take the liberty to suggest something.

"Residents of Wen Wu City! I believe that after so many problems just happened, none of us remembered that the most important thing, for now, is to fill our stomach! Come! The Apprentice Hall invites everyone to come and fill your stomach first!"

"We have professional Construction Department, Which is why you all will need not to worry about the issue with the reconstructions! I will tolerate no people that dare to leave the Apprentice Hall without filling their stomach until they burst!"
