I Am The Young Master

Chapter 115: First death in the fort

——(POV third person, Li Huang and others)——

The teleportation system of the fort was created based on Li Huang's plans for it and he didn't set any permanent gate as it was possible for a beast to enter one of them and get around the fort just like that. To handle this they had used portals that would close after you have used them. This way no beast or any wild Jin Fen could get into the fort and move around easily but there is also a slight problem with this method. When you want to open a temporary portal you have to use a bit of time to power up the system and when you get out you can't just walk back because not only it is a one-way transportation method, the portal itself would close fast so there is no chance for changing your mind after teleporting to somewhere, meaning that you have to commit to it.

This is what happened to Li Huang and others. The moment they saw the number of beasts everyone had an impulse to get back to their wall as the situation was hectic. Despite that, they jumped off the wall to help the disciples that were fighting the horde on the ground. The moat of this side was a flat ground at this point as the beast corpses filled it and the formation didn't have much of an effect at this height.

Hu Anjing set out a sword Qi arc toward the beast horde and killed hundreds of them in a single move. She was the strongest participant here and this was the proof. She didn't stop and attacked the beasts left and right. This lifted the pressure from the disciples that were on the battlefield and helped them regroup in a safe perimeter.

Cai ZhenKang too didn't need anything else other than the sight of the beasts to start attacking them so the perimeter got safer. Li Wanrou's spear was doing its magic as she stood beside Li Huang.

The beasts surrounded the group as the wall had a big hole in it now.

"What happened here? How did the wall get breached?" Li Huang asked Zheng Jingyi as he remembered that he was in charge on this side of the wall.

"These beasts happened!" Zheng Jingyi attacked a cat-like beast that was one of the main sources of their problems. These beasts were fast and cunning so fighting them was hard for all the disciples here.

Li Huang didn't care about Zheng Jingyi's tone as he knew that he must have thought that he is going to die here so it was understandable.

"What happened to the disciples on the wall?" Li Huang asked another question. He saw that no disciple was stationed on the walls when they teleported over here but as the horde was too big they didn't waste time investigating.

"Those bastards! They left us here and retreated to the inner walls." Zheng Jingyi said with venom in his voice. He really didn't expect that the white moon sect disciples would be this shameless.

Li Huang and others who came with him were stunned that such a thing happened here. They should have first helped the ground units to teleport back and then fall back, not to leave them to fend for themselves.

"Those cowards." Li Huang said and clicked his tongue. He tried to be impartial by giving He Junli the responsibility of this wall so that she can see for herself that the world is different from what she thought it to be but from how she cast out her fellow disciple Lang Yingmin and now this, it appears that she didn't see anything.

"Did you have any casualties?" Li Wanrou asked as she knew that if someone's death is involved, this is going to get harder to handle.

"…Two disciples have died. They have fought valiantly to the very end." Zheng Jingyi said as he clenched his fists. Those two disciples were from the smaller powers and not the holy lands so they didn't have powerful defensive treasure and this resulted in their deaths. The moment that these new beasts surprised them made it harder for Zheng Jingyi to control and command the battlefield and when the support from the walls was gone he lost his tempo for a few moments and couldn't save everyone…

"Let's finish this fight before any more blood has shed from our side." Li Huang said and patted Zheng Jingyi's back. He knew that he is blaming himself for their deaths but they have to finish this fight first before they could find the one at fault.

Li Huang then started killing those cat-like beasts with his shurikens. As he was analyzing them with the peeping eye of heaven, he found their weak points and used them to his advantage. This horde wouldn't be a problem without these beasts so he tried to eliminate them first.

Others too went for the beasts with a higher power as they could see that the main team that was supposed to fight for the southern side is exhausted as they have fought beyond their bodies capacity.

…

"Cai ZhenKang, help with this side." Li Huang called to Cai ZhenKang. They were rebuilding the wall that was destroyed. They have defeated every beast in the horde and cleared the moat so this was their last task before they could confront He Junli.

"Alright, let me cut this part." Cai ZhenKang said. He was using his weapon Qi in the wrong way again.

Their fight with the horde lasted less than an hour as they were able to handle the cat-like beasts somewhat easily after Li Huang pointed out some of their weak spots.

Zheng Jingyi also got a little calmer now and he was helping anyone who needed medical attention.

After the fight, he told everyone about how the fight with this horde went and how this wall was breached. It was then that everyone got to know that not only He Junli didn't support the group from the start, she was also resting according to her fellow disciple.

This enraged everyone as they couldn't believe that she looks at everyone as they are her servants and the ironic thing is that most of these participants are young misses and young masters of their family, city, or clan so this was a big insult to everyone.

…

It didn't take long for them to finish this wall and place the formations on it as at this point it was a recreational activity to them.

The walk to the southern inner walls wasn't long as they had a goal in mind so the time passed fast for them.

When a group of frowning disciples stood in front of the inner wall, Yuan Yunyu could guess what this was about.

Li Huang didn't even bother asking for a portal to the top of the wall, he created a staircase for him and others with the stones that he had in his storage ring. This took White Moon sect disciples by surprise as they now knew the gravity of the situation.

When everyone got up the stair, Li Huang floated the stones that he used for the stair and stored them in his storage ring.

He Junli who was watching this from a distance got in front of her fellow disciples and looked at Li Huang and others.

"Why have you all gathered here?" She asked. To her, her actions were justified so she didn't know what this was all about.
