In the next period of one week, Altima spent all his time only to cultivate and increasing his overall strength.

The group finally returned to the Spirit Beast Clan and awaits the new mission to be published on the Mission Board, before they are allowed to choose them.

But the group knows, that their next task had been decided before they return.

Altima and the others hand over their completed mission and receive a total of 10,000 Points in return of their contribution.

Before the mission comes, Altima manages to participate in another Disciple Ranking Placement, and at the end, he manage to obtain another 5 wins once again, before he decided to call it a day.

Soon, the mission is delivered to Altima's doorstep, together with the other 5 of the Ferocious General's Troops members.

Average Mission

Support and Training. Due to the previous Disease, the matter had reduced the productivities and military strength for the 13th State City, the City Lord had requested for aid and support from the Spirit Beast Clan to assist them in Alchemy department and troops training department. The term of service will be a total of 6 months unless released earlier under the agreement between Spirit Beast Clan, The 13th State City Lord, and the Team members who participate in this mission.

Contribution Rewards: 200,000 Contribution Points.

Without wasting any time, Altima departs together with all his teammates immediately and heads to the City Lord Mansion in haste.

As they were within the Mansion, the delegation of duties had been well arranged, where Altima will be in control of the Alchemy department, concocting various type of below Spiritual Grade medicine for the shop to sell.

While for Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing, they will be in charge of handling the recruitment and training, in an orderly arrangement.

Gu Pang, Wu Chung, and Fang Mu will be handing the expedition training instead. But behind the truth, they were actually making preparations to battle with the incoming troops from the 15th State City.

Recently, there are even more activities from various small groups, that’s trying to take leadership on the path linking the two cities, and this path is more well known as the Firefly Serene Forest.

This Firefly Serene Forest is well known for its night blinking Serene Fireflies, that have the ability to lit the Yin essence within their body, to illuminate their body during the mating season. Other than that, the outer forest is well equipped with lightings, seats, and guards to ensure this beautiful attraction could be preserved.

But due to the clashes between few smaller power within the forest, currently more and more guards is being relocated to ensure this location is safe from any destruction.

"Brother Wu, are you still able to fight ?"

Gu Pang lifted Wu Chung and tried to escape from their enemies pursue.

"I can let me take this Small Spiritual Reviving Salve and I will be ready to fight in no time."

Wu Chung replied, and pop a small packing of powder into his mouth.

Wu Chung and Gu Pang is actually on their middle of checking their security line and defensive perimeter, but out of sudden, the two is ambushed by a group of practitioners, and among 10 of the assassins, five of them is in their Early to Middle Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier, while another 5 of them is all on their Peak of Master Practitioner of Zen Tier.

Being ambushed out of sudden, and running their rounds without any weapon, Wu Chung and Gu Pang quickly get overpowered by their opponent, and soon have to be on run to protect themselves. But in between of their path, the duo quickly realized that they have been had by their pursuers.

"We had been tricked! There must be somebody within the troops that expose our identity and also rearrange our troop's placement within this forest."

Gu Pang quickly makes a rough guess on their current situation.

"Brother Gu, should we quickly take that precaution step? It's actually quite a waste, to spend a trick because of such an ambush."

Wu Chung quickly comes out with the solution, since their condition is currently not too positive to consider other options.

"I guess we have no choice."

Gu Pang withdraws a Water Dragon Cannon and throws it in the direction facing the 13th State City.

"Formation 40 of the Bagua Diagrams, Deliverance Diagram!"

The Water Dragon Cannon exploded, and a notice of military alert is announced towards the City Wall!

Within the period of 5 minutes, All the troops are well standby for any incoming attack, and in the darkness, Altima and Fang Mu is moving under the cover of shadows directly towards where the Deliverance Diagram is sent from.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

In the same time, Qing Yi and Shi-Wen Qing quickly had all their troops attendance is checked and recorded, to ensure no turncoats is given chances to reassess the situation!

"Capture him!"

Qing Yi gives the guards an order and quickly had two wall guards captured without any space to resist. Even in another side of the wall, Shi-Wen Qing is doing the same thing towards a few different City Guards.

Meanwhile on Altima side, he charges toward the directly where he felt a stronger flow of Zen essence undulation, and withdraw his Meng Jiang Spear. Brandishing the spear straight to a random directly, Altima charge without any hesitation, and push all his essence strength into his highest limit.

Yuan Wu's Wall Crushing Pierce!

Altima's spear charge without mercy, as it reaches the cultivator that almost manage to grab a hold on Gu Pang, the cultivator's head quickly got smashed into bits, leaving only the body falling down to the ground without any motion. Two more cultivators who were directly by his side is dealt with a fatal injury as well, where one of them having their belly totally grazed, allowing their intestines to falls from their stomach, while another one lost his arm indirectly.

"What the hell is wrong with this spear user! It is impossible for a Middle Spiritual Cultivator to kill three Middle Spiritual Cultivator in one strike!"

The Early Spiritual Cultivator is shocked to his core, other than his mouth is still able to blabber a few words, his whole body is losing its feeling, unable to take any more actions.

Fang Mu reached the location as well and combined with Gu Pang and Wu Chung, the trio quickly tosses a few Water Dragon Cannon towards their surrounding, creating a field if Bagua formation under the Field Formation.

"Seven Injuries Chain Strike!"

Altima gives no chances for the remaining seven cultivators that still able to fight, and land a chain of punches, finger strike and clawing attack towards them. Due to the attack is dealt with the Seven Injuries Chain Strike Technique, each of them have their own symptom of Harming injuries, and unable to continue fighting anymore.

A piercing wind suddenly breaking through the Field Formation and aimed directly on Altima's neck, but thanks to the Royal Nirvana Golden Body and Mind Technique, Altima is practically invulnerable to any ranged ambush attack.

"What a strong body durability."

The ambusher quickly retreats, but before he manages to escape, a new force of Field Formation is erected, and this time, they are combined with the force formation as well.

"Oh, Shit!"

The ambushing cultivator finally realized his mistake, and immediately got himself restrained by the force of Bagua.

With a sudden mess that going on tonight, Altima and the others in the team finally successfully caught a total of 8 Spiritual Stage Cultivator, after 3 of them is dead from his first initial strike. Other than this 8 spiritual cultivator, Shi-Wen Qing and Qing Yi managed to expose a total of 21 different double agents which planted by the Capital City, the 15th State City, as well as the other martial establishment's informant as well.

"Speak, from whom you are sent to infiltrate our City!"

Lord Wei is furious, because, among the 29 captured prisoners, 5 of them are his potentially promoted commander to be positioned within the city to protect Wei Wen in her daily visiting routes.

The group of prisoners is firm on their standing and wasn’t willing to expose any of their hirer's identity.

"Lift them up to a standing position."

Altima passed a simple order to the captains behind each prisoner.

"Lord Wei, I understand that based on your trust and position, you would reject my approach, but since you are hiring the Ferocious General's Troops to handle this matter on your behalf, I hope you allow me to take this action."

Altima states his standing, before Lord Wei trying to object what he is going to do next.

"Granted, as long the city is safe, I and Wei Wen is willing to bear this consequences."

Lord Wei replied, agreeing with Altima's request.

"Seven Injuries Chain Strike!"

Altima land seven hits to each prisoner, almost beating all of them to death before they spit few mouthful of blood to the ground.

"Speak."

Altima just muttered a simple word.

"No one willing to speak ?"

"Seven Injuries Chain Claws!"

Altima serves another seven strikes, this time all of it is clawing attack, causing all of them to have severe bleeding overall on their weak body.

"I surrender…!"

"I surrender too…!"

"You guys! Don’t give up!"

"I can't take this anymore, captain. I felt like all my skin and nose is going to lost their touches and feels."

"What is this demonic martial arts ?"

"Urgh..!"

The few prisoners starting to get weaker by the seconds, and soon, most of them give up, leaving only the sturdier and more firm in their mind prisoners.

"keep them inside the prison, and make sure you feed them some vigor enhancing pill every few hours."

Altima had his way to torture the prisoners. If the hard way doesn’t work, why not use their weakness as a man, which is to resist the temptation of getting laid as the force to make them surrender.

For those that already agreed to comply, Altima withdraws a few sets of Golden Plateau Pellets and place it in front of them.

"Released them."

Altima had the captains released all the prisoners, giving them freedom to move around. But even with such freedom, they are hardly able to move, due to the heavy injuries and the critically bleeding condition inflicted by Altima on their body.

"If you want this Golden Plateau Pellets, first make an exchange. One information for one pellet. If the information is used or already been spoken, your chances are over."

Altima gives them the chances, and its depend on them to take it or not.

"Let me go first!"

"Lord Wei, my hire is from the 15th State City Lord, Lord Michael himself."

"That’s barely enough information for a Golden Plateau Pellet."

The first prisoners tried to grab a hold on the pellet, but stopped by Altima, stating how shallow is his information to worth a Golden Plateau Pellet.

"I can add! Lord Michael already have his side of the city cooperate with the Bandits that operates around the Flame Man-eater forest, the bandits from Mountain of Roaring Tigress, the Sky Sword Soul Sect from the 15th State City, and the Million Gold Agency."

"I just came back from the Million Gold Agency to deliver a letter of orders from Lord Michael himself. Please take a look."

The prisoner withdraws a copy of the letter that he still kept within his garment, and allows Altima to read it.

"Take your pill. Captains put him in custody with basic prisoners ration, I will decide on how to release him later."

Altima allows the prisoner to grab his portion of the pill, before have him carried away to be placed into custody.

"My Lord, I have a letter from the Yang Escort Agency as well, this serve as the proof that the Yang Escort Agency is in cahoot with the Million Gold Agency to bring down Talon Escort Agency and taking over the business within the city, so City Lord have no other way but depend on this two agency on any security and deliveries."

"My Lord, I have a proof of Letter as well, Stating the Million Gold Agency is preparing to ambush the Carriage between the new mines to the Forge route and destroy the City incomes."

"My Lord, I have the proof to state that the Blood Shadow Sect is preparing to ambush the next few upcoming expedition lead by the Spirit Beast Clan Practitioners, and reducing their moral support the troops to bring down the troops efficiency."

One by one, the prisoner quickly expose all the dirtiest secret and planning made by the other power within the city and outside the city, allowing Lord Wei to totally understand where each power within the city stands.

With all the prisoners is delivered to the custody, awaiting the next arrangement, Altima instead decided to take another drastic move instead.

He summoned the Scarlet King into the Main Hall, shocking all the cultivators and the pair of father and daughter.

"Scarlet King, handle the prisoners, I want all of them to become food tonight. Do you get me ?"

Altima is looking at Scarlet King deeply in her eyes.

In return, Scarlet King just blinked her eyes once, and slither out towards the Custody room without any further questions.

"Brother Altima, I thought.."

Lord Wei heart is heavy and sorry, but he knows it is not his position to mentioned about Altima's decision.

"Lord Wei, these prisoners, had betrayed you, and they are hired. If we allow them to roam outside again, can you imagine how many side can they betray more before they are judged ?"

"Those that we shouldn’t kill, all remains within the Prisoners Cell. We shall see who remained last within that group of 6 people."

Finishing his word, Altima leaves the City Lord Mansion, allowing Lord Wei to muster himself and set back to the right track.

"If I want to make my City protected, flourish and stand strong, I must stand up first."

"Million Gold Agency, Yang Escort Agency, Blood Shadow Sect, Precious Brushes Sect, Fire Fist Mercenaries, I will start with cleaning you guys first, and soon the 15th State City and the others from the forest next."

Lord Wei loudly speaks his intention, allowing all his trusted guards and aide within the mansion to hear his decision.

In the same time, Altima grinned and satisfied with this decision Lord Wei made. Followed behind him is the 5 other members of the Ferocious General's Troops.

Soon, The 13th State City will be even livelier with the shower of blood contributed by the traitors of the City.
