Chapter 108: Fight for the First-class Merit

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

While everybody in the Camp of Jin Army was busy allocating missions, Junior Leopard flew all the way from Tian Long Mystic Mountain to Zhonghe City. He arrived to find the siege was at its climax.

There was a saying that a troop of 10,000 was boundless, and a troop of 100,000 was devastating.

Originally there shouldn't be a big stir in Zhonghe City. There were only some disciples from the Sect of Flame rising in rebellion. The solution for this should have been simple too. They could be suppressed easily by soldiers. But nobody expected that the imperial court would send out 100,000 troops to besiege them. What was even more surprising was that the troops would be defeated a few times. The losses were costly and retreat was a disgrace.

All of that was unexpected.

But none of that was Junior Leopard's business. He was immediately introduced into the Military Camp as soon as he was right outside Zhonghe City. It happened that disciples of the Wu family who originally came to Zhonghe City together with him didn't leave there. All of them joined the Military Camp instead.

Outside Zhonghe Prefecture the Military Camp had set up a reception station.

The reception station was actually four pillars standing beside the road with mats made of reed tiled on ceiling. Coming out to welcome Junior Leopard was Lou who also was a disciple of the Wu family. Previously, they were all meant to solve the stolen goods issue. Lou was overjoyed seeing Junior Leopard. He led Junior Leopard directly through the military group and met Wu Family disciple together. They explained that after dashing out of Zhonghe prefecture, all of them couldn't find Junior Leopard. Eventually they had no choice but to go back to Yunzhou. While they were on their way back, they came across the Great Jin's troops surrounding the city. Everybody agreed that this would be a good chance to become well known in Jianghu and obtain some benefits. So they decided to join the Military Camp at once. A couple of escorts from the Flying Tiger Escort Agency also joined the Military Camp.

This group of Wu Family disciples was with prestigious backgrounds and they also had enough feats. All of them devoted a lot to the siege several times and gained contributions and the Camp Supervisor was satisfied with them. As time went by, more and more jianghu people were coming to join the Military Camp. The environment outside Zhonghe prefecture gradually became sophisticated and order was distorted with the crowd. To solve this issue, the Military Camp set up a few reception stations to welcome and guide these men in Jianghu.

Lou was injured during their last siege and was still recovering. So he was assigned here to do easy work in order to recover better. What he didn't expect was he would meet Junior Leopard here.

After Junior Leopard was led into the Military Camp, all of the Wu family's disciples were overjoyed. Jin Nanqing was even more excited who thumped his chest heavily and blamed, ”You bastard, where have you been? I was so worried about you!”

Judging from Jin Nanqing's facial expressions, Junior Leopard could tell he wasn't pretending. He threw out the excuse he already made up before coming, ”I met an expert and got hurt when I left the city. Then I had to find a quiet place to heal my wounds. But it is surprising that when I got back, the troop had surrounded the city. If I didn't bump into Senior Brother Lou, I'm afraid that I would have gone back to Yunzhou already!”

”You were injured? Where is the wound, is it serious?”

Jin Nanqing's face became gloomy when heard that Junior Leopard was injured. Everybody didn't know what Junior Leopard was capable of but Jin Nanqing knew. Jin Nanqing had heavily overestimated Junior Leopard's capabilities ever since he saw Junior Leopard make a crushing vacuum fist and kill Liu Si in an instant. In Jin Nanqing's eyes, nobody could hurt Junior Leopard unless the enemy was a Tendon-Changing realm expert. Now that Junior Leopard had been wounded outside of the city, could it be that he met an expert over Level Seven?

Who would it be?

Although there were countless enemies in the city, there was only one expert over Level Seven. That was Prince Xiaoming. Had Junior Leopard met Prince Xiaoming?

”It wasn't a big deal. I only have some tiny wounds. The reason I was defeated was that I had just improved one level and my cultivation wasn't stable yet. So the enemy found my weak point.”

”So now you are alright, and your phase is stable?” Jin Nanqing asked.

”Of course!” Junior Leopard nodded, ”If I haven't recovered, I would not have the thought to come back and take my revenge!” Junior Leopard's eyes were cold and sharp when he mentioned 'revenge'. A chilling blast of killing intent spread out as he spoke.

Jin Nanqing shivered under Junior Leopard's authentic killing intent and he squeezed out a smile on his face, ”Long time no see, your strength has improved once again. Congratulations!”

”It's no improvement, only that my current phase is stabilized!” Junior Leopard laughed.

He continued to pass his greetings to the Wu family disciples for a while.

”Well, let me show you the way to Mr. Zhao, the Camp Supervisor!” Jin Nanqing suddenly said before he started to lead Junior Leopard deeper into the Military Camp. But before he could move a few more steps, they heard a burst of drumbeats.
