Suddenly they heard a thundering roar. Most of the students and bandits almost soiled themselves; it was the sound of an angry beast. The elders and cui family members started sweating profusely.
After the roar, a voice boomed, " Your Cui family dares to attack the people of my Sky Soaring Sect. "
"ARE YOU TIRED OF YOUR LIFE?"
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm)
The Cui family members were shocked. How did he know they were from the Cui family?
Shortly, they saw a massive black panther walking out of the woods and moving toward them. Everyone's mind wondered; to ride such a beast, the cultivator riding it must be very powerful. When the panther was close enough, they saw a young man dressed in white standing on the back of the beast gracefully.
Kong Dandan was the first to realize this. He spoke loudly, " Brother Han Cai!"
All the outer sect disciples and elders murmured, " Han Cai?!"
Their eyes popped out. Didn't he become the sect master's disciple like a year ago?
When Panther arrived near them, they were amazed. The black panther was mesmerizing. The muscular body was covered in glossy black fur that shone like obsidian in the sunlight. Its piercing green eyes glinted in the sunlight, and its razor-sharp claws were visible even from a distance. The panther moved gracefully, each stride effortless and fluid as if it were gliding on air; they could feel shadow Qi coming out of the Panther.
But it wasn't just Panther that drew the attention of the crowd.
Han Cai, who was riding on the panther's back, was also the picture of beauty with his sharp features and flawless skin. His hair was a striking shade of black and cascaded down his back in waves. The white Daoist robe he wore added to his aura of purity and righteousness.
When the panther was close enough, the realization dawned on them this beast was actually an elite beast. They felt a chill run down their back.
The Cui Family members were sweating buckets. No one had told them that the sky-soaring sect had a beast as sect protector.
They misunderstood that the beast was the sect protector watching over the sect's disciples.
Or how could this little kid ride an elite beast that not even nascent soul cultivators could subdue? The outer sect elders and disciples misunderstood that this beast must belong to the sect master, who had asked it to watch over Han Cai.
The disciples and elders watched in amazement as Han Cai dismounted from the panther's back, his every move was graceful and fluid. They had heard rumors of his beauty and strength, but seeing him in person was an entirely different experience. As he stepped forward, his presence commanded respect and admiration.
Han Cai walked towards the elders of the Sky Soaring Sect.
Made a cupping sign and said, " Greetings elders, is everyone alright? I was passing by, when I heard the commotion."
One of the elders from the group came out of a stupor and spoke, " Core disciple Han Cai, you came at the right time. These people planned to ambush core disciple and us Niu today. If you hadn't come, we would have been in great danger".
Han Cai shook his head. He wanted to yell at these greedy, dumb idiots for walking into an ambush so easily and even crying like victims.
Guidelines in the sect mission hall clearly mentioned that when you are out in the wild, always stay prepared in case you get ambushed. Han Cai had watched them for a long time; they moved in the forest like they were in a park.
Han Cai did move like a walker in the park too, but he had his perception and system radar.
Han Cai turned to Cui family members and spoke, " Are you wondering how I know you are from the Cui family?"
The Cui family members gave him a confused look on their faces and said, "Yes, that's what we want to know."
Han Cai shook his head and said, "Come out!"
One shadow binding Qi pulled out an old man hidden in the shadows. Elder Pan, bound by shadow Qi, was pulled out into the light.
Han Cai spoke: " you people really think our sky soaring sect is filled with fools, and we will not know what you people are doing? You wanted to kidnap our core disciple. Now your family will be paying for you."
Han Cai flew on the back of the Panther again, looking at the elders and disciples of the Sky Soaring Sect, and spoke, " Follow behind the beast."
All the disciples were awestruck, be it by the beast or Han Cai.
They felt reverence for this disciple of their sect; they felt respect, gratitude, and even pride that their sect had such a young immortal as a disciple.
Han Cai did not invite anyone to ride on the back of the beast; no one complained about that. They were lucky enough to have an opportunity to see an elite beast. Not even the sect master rode an elite beast; how could they dare?
When Panther moved again, the shadow Qi that bound all of the attackers, whether they were Cui family members, elder Pan, or bandits, pulled them all behind the beast as it moved. Even if they tried, they couldn't escape; they were dragged like a rope dragging a prisoner tied to a carriage. How could they resist an elite beast with the strength of a nascent soul?
Soon after, the group began to move forward, led by Han Cai on the panther.
Behind him were bound prisoners bound by the Binding of Shadow Qi.
Behind them were sky-soaring sect disciples and elders.
The group began their journey back to the sect, and the atmosphere was quiet.
Han Cai remained silent throughout the entire journey. In the beginning, it caused a sense of unease among the group, but soon they got used to it. One thing that did not change was their awe and admiration for him.
The journey was long and tiring, as they had to navigate through treacherous terrain and harsh weather conditions. They encountered few natural obstacles along the way, but with such a majestic beast, they did not have to do much as the panther took care of any disturbance that came their way, keeping them at ease.
Their journey would get interrupted by occasional skirmishes with rogue cultivators, unlucky bandits, or beasts.
The last time they traveled, they traveled quickly and took a safe route, so they did not have to deal with them, avoiding unnecessary interruptions.
But now that Han Cai was leading the group, instead of taking the long, safe route, he took them through the shortest route.
He was carrying a lot of baggage, and they moved extremely slowly. He wanted to get to the sect as soon as possible, so he could be done with these extra pieces of baggage.
Instead of worrying about any attack or ambush, the group enjoyed this carefree journey and looked forward to bandits and wild animals ambushing them. When rogue cultivators tried to ambush them, and the big, mighty panther would roar at those rogue cultivators, they thoroughly enjoyed seeing the true fear in the eyes of those cultivators.
As for the beasts, most of the lucky ones who sensed the panther from a distance scurried away immediately, while some who were unlucky enough not to run away became meals for the group on the journey.
Despite Han Cai's silence, the group felt a sense of security under his protection. As they did not dare even look at the elite beast, all their admiration and reverence were directed toward Han Cai.
Han Cai had become their silent guardian, watching over them with his sharp eyes and sharp senses to make sure they made it through the dangerous terrain safely.
As they traveled, the group discussed the recent events that had unfolded. They talked about how Han Cai had saved them and how he had captured the core formation cultivator with such ease. They spoke about his mysterious aura and how he seemed to possess otherworldly powers. Han Cai had devoted fanboys and fan-elders now.
The group's morale improved as they moved closer to the sect. After what seemed like an eternity, they arrived at the entrance to the sect.

Two months later
The sky-soaring sect was in an uproar. You could see disciples and elders huddled together, talking and whispering about something. No matter where they met, their topic of discussion would be core disciple Han Cai.
It all started in the morning when the elite beast entered the sect's outer area. The sect's array alarmed everyone in the sect. The sect went on the highest alert, every elder and disciple panicking.
Receiving the alarm, the core elders who were present in the sect at that moment, elder Dongmei, and the sect master flew towards the area where the beast was spotted by the array.
When they reached the area, they saw a majestic massive Panther moving towards them. It was an elite beast; you could see shadow Qi floating around it. When they were planning to attack, they noticed a young man dressed in white sitting on the back of a panther, meditating.
