47 BANDITS

Ha Ling "Brother things are going as expected?"

Jiang Chen "So both the Martial soldiers left Ferry. Good now." he said with an evil smile.

Ha Ling "I already sent three of Ha Family martial Soldiers to take them out."

Jiang Chen "I hunted all the birds he was trying to send."

Both of them were smiling evilly.

Ha Ling "Brother Jiang ,when are we going to make a move?"

Jiang Chen "Hmm. Let him enjoy few more days. You continue cultivating for now."

Jiang Chen "We will wait till we reached moon islands. Then continue cultivating don't lax. You have to increase your cultivation by a grade before we reach moon island and one more grade by time we reach River Moon city."

Jiang Chen "I will also try to increase my cultivation to 3rd stage by then."

Ha Ling "Yes.Brother. I will let you know, when there is progress in the situation."

Both of them parted their ways and Jiang Chen went back to his room.

For the rest of the journey they don't have to worry about anything else. There would be no more halts for next month and any attacks from normal warships would be repelled by FERRY.

Jiang Chen has a fixed routine, daily he would go to the deck of the ship enjoying the scenarios . It was the time other people in the ship come regularly for Jiang Chen's guidance and Jiang Chen continued to help them at day time and cultivated at night in his Natal Palace.

After almost one week he got news from Ha Ling that the last two martial soldiers of Bai family were killed. Now the people with highest rank in Bai Family are Bai Jin , Bai Gu , and Bai Ten they are peak ranked martial artists, couple of dozen in 7th and 8th rank combined. Rest are all lesser cultivation.

Mo Qingcheng "How do you know, that Bai Mo will send those two martial soldiers away?"

Jiang Chen "I didn't know for sure. I just threw a stone."

Jiang Chen "That day, when I went to visit him, my purpose was to create a conflict of interests."

Jiang Chen " The first thing Bai Mo should do, after knowing that Ning family members were killed is, to let Ning family know it."

Jiang Chen "He would have done the same if I haven't interrupted."

Jiang Chen "When I met him I lured him with the Shield of Asura. It is high quality utility technique very useful for them. Now Bai Mo can't do both at a time, either he has to deliver the news of Ning families losses to them or let them know about the deal I proposed."

Jiang Chen "As expected of Bai Mo, he has his personal interest in priority than what is right thing to do."

Jiang Chen "So he decided to send a Martial soldier to gather more information on the deaths of Ning family members and investigate who are killers. They are suspecting there would be more than one killer."

Jiang Chen "So other was sent to River Spring city to communicate about the deal with Ning family. They wanted to make it such a way that, they didn't knew about Ning family members death and they have postponed the plan to kill Jiang Chen for that deal. They are the only two people Bai Mo can use. They are the only two people that can make that journey easily and swiftly."

Jiang Chen "So, Ha Ling already positioned his men in selective spots to intercept them."

Shangguan Bing'er "What if Bai Mo have chosen to send people to inform Ning family instead, they would have tried to catch you alive and force out information from you."

Jiang Chen "You are forgetting the big picture. Your main purpose of killing me was to frame your enemies for it. How can you do it ,when martial soldiers are involved directly. Also, their main priority would be to find, who killed their members, than a martial technique which they can acquire anytime fairly without ruckus."

Mo Qingcheng "Now you see, that that is how he plans. You think you can outsmart him. His plan is not on your strengths but psychology and character ."

Jiang Chen "He he wife you are praising me too much."

Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen, Bing'er's was not able to mingle with them."

Jiang Chen "They are different level beasts ,it won't be simple ."

Mo Qingcheng "You should find a new beast for Bing'er and Ning'er."

Jiang Chen "Wife you used to hate them when they were outside. Now you want me to find a more powerful beast so they can fit in with our ROC and LUAN."

Shangguan Bing'er "Opinions change. Also you remember the deal we made. It comes under your responsibility."

Jiang Chen "Where should I find such beast. Both Luan and Roc came from Jiang family of central grand."

Jiang Chen "I have to loot either Xie family or Sai family for that. Also why should it be Wind attribute, if it is a fire attribute bird you would get a chance to increase the attack power."

Shangguan Bing'er "I don't know what you do but I want a compatible beast that can match in terms with your ROC and LUAN."

Jiang Chen "I can't bring a white tiger for you. That is the only wind attribute beast that can match those two in these terms."

Shangguan Bing'er "Vermilion bird will also be fine, you said a fire attribute bird will add my strengths too."

Jiang Chen was looking dumbfounded at those two girls before him, are they real how can they ask him to get two of those legendary beasts.

Jiang Chen "You were more beautiful, when you didn't get involved with Qingcheng?"

Shangguan Bing'er "Yes you used to be scary then."

Jiang Chen "Wife are you satisfied at your plot."

Mo Qingcheng "I am bit unsatisfied , it was not a perfect victory."

Jiang Chen "How is your progress in cultivation?"

Bing'er "Good ,I guess I will be able to sense them in two more weeks."

Jiang Chen "Qingcheng did it in a week."

Mo Qingcheng "You took two months, she is doing better than you did."

Jiang Chen "I am going out, this is very noisy here."

Jiang Chen slowly escaped from that place. It has been like this for past couple of days. After deal was struck between Bing'er and him. These two girls are too terrible they bully him in everything mercilessly. But he liked it more here. He silently went and started practicing the Blizzard storm spear technique. It took him more than two months to reach small perfection it.

Bing'er "Jiang Chen is that shield technique not compatible to me." she asked lying on him who was on bed trying to sleep.

Jiang Chen "Why would I lie to you here. It is only suitable for few attributes and wind attribute is not among them. Even three of my four attributes are not compatible with it."

Bing'er "You will create more techniques in future right, then you should get one for me."

Jiang Chen "You don't have to tell me that, I even taught it to Ha Ling why will I prevent it to you."

Bing'er "What are you planning for Bai Mo? Tomorrow we will reach moon island and after that in one more month you will reach River-Moon city."

Jiang Chen "Let the opportunity strike, you will miss the fun when you know what is happening."

Bing'er "Sister Mo already concocted Beauty pill, she gave one to me. Do you see any changes?"

Jiang Chen "Yes ,you are speaking lot more now." hearing this Bing'er started punching Jiang Chen continuously on his chest.

Jiang Chen "I was just joking, you are radiating more now, you look even more beautiful and your skin became even more softer than before."

Shangguan Bing'er face was blushing hearing the compliment and she is really happy that she followed Qingcheng's advice. It was terrible to accept at first she even hated it ,she still get nightmares of it. But for some reason she felt that it is good for her. Once she decided to accept Jiang Chen it was different for her. A thought occurred in her mind did she really wanted to kill Jiang Chen because he was taking Ning'er or she was jealous that Jiang Chen belonged to Ning'er. She hugged him tightly as she slept in his arms.

Next day FERRY reached Moon island. River Moon city is located in the farthest point of Moon island. They can't go there by boat as Moon city doesn't link up with Spring River.

So they have to travel by foot now. City lord family arranged for a transport already, there were over hundred carriages arranged for their travel.

Jiang Chen mounted his NIGHT for traveling, similarly all the people with their mounts traveled on their beasts.

Ha Ling "Brother Jiang we have to be careful in this area there are many bandits in the region who loot merchant goods."

Jiang Chen "Really?"

Ha ling "Brother Jiang, are you planning to fight with them or something?

Jiang Chen "Why not it would be good opportunity to experience some live fights. We will get first hand experience in real combat."

Jiang Chen "Brother Ha Ling, when we find any bandit group if all of them are at Martial artists or lower. We three should go and fight, we can take few peak martial artists to support us and protect us."

Ha Ling "It looks like a good idea. Can we handle them. All three of us are just 2nd grade martial artists."

Jiang Chen "But we are also well trained in our combat skill and well rounded at all aspects of offense ,defense and agility. We will not have any problem facing a third grade or fourth grade even a fifth grade martial artist."

Bai Mo "Yes we can fight people below 5th grade and others can fight other strong experts."

Ha Ling thought for a while "Since you both are OK with it, why should I be the one to spoil the fun."

Shangguan Ning'er "I am also a 2nd grade Martial artist , I am also well rounded in those three. I will also have fun there."

Jiang Chen "Brother Su, what about you?"

Su Mo "If all of you are going to fight ,why will I be shy? Brother Jiang You said I am too good at offense and will not have trouble fighting multiple opponents at a time."

Jiang Chen "Its true your offense rivals all three of us, you will have a field day if you find opponents below third stage ."

Bai Mo "Is it so?"

Jiang Chen "Then lets have a competition then? Who kills most number of bandits?"

Ning'er "Brother Jiang it would be unfair if you participate in it."

They chatted while they traveled.

After traveling for a week they did encounter few bandit groups they were powerful so Martial soldiers went to fight them.After one week they found the bandit group that they can fight.

Jiang Chen "Uncle Ha told that the strongest cultivator in that group is a 7th rank Martial Artist, there are few 6th rank martial artist. So we are going in now."

Ha Ling "Those 6th and 7th rank martial artists will be handled by peak stage martial artists following us. We can handle rest of them."

They stopped the convoy on the road and geniuses of River Spring city moved forward to fight off the Bandits. Jiang Chen, Ha Ling, Bai Mo ,Ning'er ,Su Mo, all the peak stage martial artists of the four families came there to protect them when necessary.

Two critics were already seated ready to enjoy the show happening now.

Bing'er "Sister Mo are you sure it would be happening now?"

Mo Qingcheng "I am hundred percent sure of it."

Jiang Chen just chuckled listening to their conversation.
