He was fair and had flowing hair as well as deep set eyes which signified that he had either seen a lot in his 40 year lifespan or have comprehended some mysterious truths…

“Alright… As usual, you two will go rescue the disciples whilst I and Jiang would go stop that thing in its tracks…”

“The Sect leader is in cultivation seclusion trying to breakthrough, thus he can’t be disturbed…” Elder Kang explained…

“What do you think is happening!?”

“Why are you so dumb Chi Wa, weren’t we both scrambling to safety at the same time; how do you expect me to know what is going on outside the 30 meter tall wall!?”

“Gen, can you speculate what is going on?”

“Yeah, you’re one of the patrols as well; can you tell us what is going on!?”

Several whispers began to pop up from different parts of the sects as the disciples frantically hid within their dorms awaiting the impending danger;

“There is only one thing I am sure of; since it is the bell on the wall that was rung, then it must be that we are being attacked…”

“Invaded!?”

“Nooo! I can’t die here… I haven’t seen my Lin’er in almost a year now, I still have a lot of things to do with her!”

“Cut it out, you stupid pervert!” Another disciple bellowed at the youth;

“What!? She’s my fiancé and I’ve been working so hard to get into the inner court so I can prove myself worthy of her hand in marriage…”

“But now, I am only three months from achieving that goal, but now I am probably going to die!?”

Smack!

.

“Cut the crap! No one said anything about invasion or anyone dying, I only said we were being attacked!” The Patrol Disciple smacked the flustered disciple on the head before explaining;

“The only reason why the bell would be rung is if we are dealing with a low category beast horde, and should that happen, our core court disciples are capable of fending them off…”

“If it is a middle category beast attack, then an Elder can handle it; and if it is a beast horde of similar category, then all the Elders would join hands to fend them off…”

“Anything higher than that, then we can begin to fret over it since the Sect Leader is in seclusion…”

“But if we are being invaded, then the sect’s defense system would have been triggered…”

The Patrol Disciple did his best to calm all the male disciples in his dorm, and similar situations were happening all across the other dorms as well…

Meanwhile…

Back at the top of the sect wall…

“So you two would have to finish up with those kids and come lend a helping hand…”

“Alright then, we will be with you shortly…” Elder Yin chimed before jumping off the fence with Elder Qing, but before they could land on the ground;

Schweein!

The sound of sharp metal cutting through the air screamed all over the place as Elder Jiang and Kang took to the air, bolting towards the incoming massive beasts that were chasing the exhausted disciples…

They had been running faster than their legs could carry and were already running on the hope granted to them by the mere sight of their sect’s massive wall…

“Keep running guys, I can see some Elders over the wall, we have to keep running till they can come to our aid!” Tian Wu encouraged the rest of his team;

“Damn it! To think we would encounter a Cat-5 beast so close to the sect!”

Ma Dong; the other Green Robed Disciple, who had been told to scout the area cursed as he adjusted the unconscious Su and increased his speed;

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Elder Jiang and Kang appeared in their sights in little to no time;

“Keep going, and don’t stop until you are inside the sect!”

Elder Kang ordered before dipping his hand into his robes and whipped out a very simply, slender but extremely sharp sword…

He grabbed the hilt with all his strength as his hair and robes began to float without the presence of any wind;

Kaboom!

His cultivation erupted and soared instantaneously; 4 Star Dan Formation Stage!

“Sword Art; Deforestation Style – Trunk Piercer!”

Elder Kang bellowed as Qi gushed out of his meridians before flowing through the hilt of the sword into a gem which was placed at the joint where the blade connected to the hilt…

Then with an aggressive jab, a sword almost ten times the size of the one in his grasp materialized out of thin air before tearing to the air with a venomous momentum, heading for the jugular of the massive green furred mammoth who sensed the lethal danger heading for it;

Grrrr!

All four massive legs of the mammoth screeched to a halt as the sword of Qi entered its ranged; the moment it ground to a halt, it raised its trunk into the air;

“Oi, watch out!” Elder Jiang bellowed at his partner;

Fuunnnn!

An ear-ripping, earth shattering soundwave burst out of the mammoth’s trunk blasting everything in sight away!

It was a ranged attack, and one that the mammoth heavily relied on when it was being ganged or teamed up on;

Elder Kang was quick to cover his ears, but that wasn’t enough as he was pushed over 10 meters off the mammoth’s range, likewise Elder Jiang…

But as for his Qi sword, it’s trajectory was slightly deviated and instead tore through the hide on its flank, tearing open a ten foot long gash across the massive mammoth’s body…

Splurt!

Blood spewed out of the gash on its flank as the mammoth’s eyes went red in rage, as it rose both of its foot into the air and stomped on the ground furiously, creating complex webs of cracks that covered a two meter range;

Massive amounts of debris and particles were also thrown about into the air, significantly hindering the sight of Elder Kang and Jiang who looked behind them to see that the disciples had already been rescued and were being escorted safely through the sect gates;

“Tch, if it was any other beast, we can just make a run for it…”

“But this one in particular will charge on and furiously batter our sect walls before invading to cause insane amount of debt in damages to the sect…”

Elder Jiang thought to himself as the sound of heavy footsteps began to echo into their ears as the land quaked intensely; the steps became more rapid and forceful as Elder Kang’s voice bellowed through the dust and debris in the air;

“It’s charging towards you!”

“Eh!?”

Elder Jiang’s eyes almost widened out of its sockets when the massive head of a mammoth with two horns abruptly burst out of the dust and appeared before in from point black range;

“Hmph! You’ll need to do better than that to get someone like me!”

Elder Jiang floated backwards trying to put a little distance between himself and the charging bull before dipping his hand into his robes and whipping out an axe;
