Chapter 136 - Campfire

Yang Tian decided not to explore further and returned to the camp. This was Li Xiang’s last play, he should let him perform it until the end. Yang Tian had never seen Li Xiang as an opponent in the first place. He was at best a sideshow amusement.

Continuing his walk in the forest, Yang Tian didn’t return until it was dark outside. At this time, all the tents had been set up and there was a large campfire ready to be lit. Li Pan saw Yang Tian returning and waved to him:

- Yang Tian, over here.

Yang Tian approached and sat down. Li Pan looked left and right carefully before saying:

- I was just at the teacher’s tent and I overheard a secret.

Hearing Li Pan’s secretive voice, Yang Tian felt that it was probably not anything good. He was a bit excited by this.

- Well, spill it out.

- I’ve heard that there will be a big game organized tonight. We will be gathered at the main tent to dine and sing and dance. Then students will be divided into pair to go into the forest along designated path.

Yang Tian’s enthusiasm was immediately extinguished. This was just some child’s play, what’s so interesting about it? Li Pan saw Yang Tian’s disinterest and then added:

- I’ve heard that the sponsor of this trip, meaning Li Xiang, would also be attending.

- You mean to say that he has intention on Mu Wu Han?

- Not at all. With his position, he’ll probably pair up with another teacher. I’m guessing that his target is Instructor Zhao Wu Xin.

If Li Xiang actually did something like that then Yang Tian had no clue what he was up to.

- Panzi, take a guess at what this Li Xiang’s scheme is.

- Maybe he feels that he has no hope with Mu Wu Han so he’s switching his target to instructor Zhao Wu Xin.

Yang Tian shook his head:

- Everything isn’t so simple. Li Xiang came to me before the trip to announce that he will confess to Mu Wu Han during this trip. That was why I let him live a bit longer.

This time, it was Li Pan’s turn to be confuse:

- If he has intention on Mu Wu Han, why did you spare him?

- You really are a bit dull. Since he didn’t something like that, he’s obviously aiming at me. If an ant is dancing in your palm, would you kill it immediately or would you let it keep dancing?

Li Pan finally understood that from the beginning, Yang Tian only saw Li Xiang as entertainment. The feeling of a higher being looking down on the masses was not something Li Pan was familiar with but it was something he could understand.

- If it’s like that then let us watch his performance.

- At the end of the day, you are the only one who gets me.

The two continued to chat for while until a teacher spoke loudly through a loudspeaker:

- Listen up students, quickly light up your campfire and then assemble at the main camp area. We will have dinner and then play a little game.

Everyone heard the announcement and subsequently poured gas over their campfires and lit them up. Afterwards they headed to the main campsite to join in on the party. Li Pan tried to find Yang Tian afterwards but he was no where to be seen. Throwing the stick in his hand down on the ground, Li Pan angrily said:

- That damn skirt-chaser, valuing women over friends. He must've gone off to find Mu Wu Han.

Li Pan wasn't wrong. At this moment, Yang Tian was in front of Mu Wu Han's campsite speaking to a female student:

- Can you call Mu Wu Han out here for me? Just tell her that Yang Tian is looking for her.

The student was a bit afraid of Yang Tian and quickly nodded her head before rushing inside. Yang Tian was taken aback:

- Do I look that frightening? That's not possible, I am the definition of handsome and gallant. Misunderstanding, it must be some sort of misunderstanding.

When Yang Tian was stroking his own ego, Mu Wu Han was already out:

- What are you doing here?

Upon seeing Mu Wu Han, Yang Tian immediately thew all that happened away:

- I want to invite you for dinner at the main camp.

Mu Wu Han nodded:

- Alright, let's go.

The two walked towards the main came with each other. Because of the large number of students participating, the school didn't manage to prepare enough seat. Many students knew this and deliberately cane early to get a seat. Yang Tian turned to Mu Wu Han:

- Wait here for me.

As he said that, Yang Tian rush into the crowd. Since there were so many people, no one noticed as Yang Tian disappeared. He appeared moments later with a stack of chairs in hand. Yang Tian didn't plan on getting so many chairs but they were all in large stacks so he just grabbed a stack without thinking.

Bringing the stack in front of Mu Wu Han, she couldn't help but be wide eyes:

- Why did you get so man chairs? Are you getting chairs for the entire class?

- Nothing like that, it was there in a stack so I grabbed it. We can take two and the dump the rest wherever.

At this moment, a voice rang out from behind Mu Wu Han:

- Wu Han, you are here already? No wonder we couldn't find you anywhere.

Hearing the voice, Mu Wu Han turned around and saw a group of female students approaching. Yang Tian also approached and asked:

- They are?

- They are my classmates.

Yang Tian turned around with a friendly smile:

- Hello everyone, I am Yang Tian, pleasure to meet you all. Oh right, I already chairs for everyone so come and sit down.

When they saw Yang Tian, the female students were a bit worried. But after seeing him so friendly, everyone calmed down. After all, the stuff about him were only rumors. Yang Tian subsequently distributed the chairs to everyone. As they sat down, a brave student asked Yang Tian:

- Yang Tian, are you Wu Han's secret boyfriend?

- Secret boyfriend?

- That's right. If you don't know, Wu Han and I went to high school with each other and she refused to get close to any man. We all guessed that she had someone in her heart and that she was keeping it a secret.

Yang Tian shook his head:

- Well that's not me then. Wu Han and I only just met each other this year.

- Met each other?

Meeting someone could be understood in many ways. It could be that two person actually just met or it could be they are officially together. In this instance, everyone chose to go with the second meaning. Mu Wu Han's face was bright red and she lightly twisted Yang Tian's hip:

- What nonsense are you saying.

- I'm not saying any nonsense. We really just met each other this year.

Yang Tian didn't have any hidden intent. To be more precises, he didn't understand the double meaning of the phrase. The surrounding female students laughed out and someone grabbed Mu Wu Han's arm:

- Wu Han, how long are you planning to hide it from us. Tell us everything.

Another student grabbed Mu Wu Han's other arm:

- That's right, spill it. Our Madonna finally have someone. Who knows how many men in our school will silently cry out.

Mu Wu Han's face was now beet red and she was at a loss for words. Yang Tian also felt that they misunderstood his words and tried to explain:

- You misunderstood me, I meant...

Without waiting for him to finish, the girls stopped him:

- This is between us women, men shouldn't be involve.

- That's right. The dinner is starting, be a good man and go get some food.

...

Yang Tian was at a loss for words. What's with the sudden change in attitude? Weren't they so welcoming to him before? Now they made an 180 turn. Women are indecipherable creatures indeed.

Even though that was his thoughts, Yang Tian still stood up to get some food. He was planning to get food for Mu Wu Han anyways so it wasn't a big deal to grab some more portions.

Li Xiang was very thorough in sponsoring this trup. He invited a chef from a big restaurant to cater for the school. Large tables filled with delicious food were set up. The most eye catching thing was a large roasted boar served on a platter.

It's go big or go home, Yang Tian quickly grabbed all the best dishes. After getting all the eating utensils and different dishes into his storage space, he eyed the boar:

- Now it's your turn.

Chapter 135 - The Thug and Young Tyrant

The answer was clearly bogus and Mu Wu Han didn’t buy it but she didn’t ask further. She was a smart and tactful woman, she knew that everyone had their own secrets. Yang Tian still though that he’d fool her and the was inwardly pleased with his Wind Slicing Technique. (T/N: I've talked about this a while back but it's basically a slang for bullshitting)

After a while, the bus was filling up with people. A made student wearing a t-shirt with a tiger tattoo on his arms approached Yang Tian’s seat:

- Hey, this is my seat. Can you get up?

The surrounding students saw that and quickly spoke amongst themselves:

- Ah, our very own thug is picking a fight with the Young Tyrant. Now there’s something interesting to see.

- Right, who do you think is gonna win? I think it’s going to be the Young Tyrant. Even the cops can’t do anything to him.

- What do you know? That guy’s father is a boss of an underworld gang. I heard they are also affiliated with an even larger organization. His strength and backing must be strong. Young Tyrant at most have some backing. If they get into a fight, he wouldn’t even be a match.

The thug and the Young Tyrant, everyone used their nickname to call them and not their real name. They might not even know Yang Tian’s real name.

Yang Tian looked up at the male student and let out a long yawn. He had always been the one bullying other people. Now there was someone that was trying to bully him. The saying was true, if you are too nice, people will look down on you.

- Scram.

The male student still maintained his smile:

- Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?

Yang Tian decided to ignore him. After all, he was with Mu Wu Han so he shouldn’t do anything that would frighten her. Seeing Yang Tian ignoring him, the smile on the student’s face froze.

- You forced my hands. I didn’t want to be violent in front of Wu Han in the first place.

As he said that, he tried to grab Yang Tian’s shoulder. When his hand was inches away from Yang Tian, the male student suddenly yelled out. His entire body collapsed on the floor and he was curled up like a shrimp. He was clutching his hand and screaming hoarsely.

Mu Wu Han looked at Yang Tian with wide eyes:

- What are you doing? You shouldn’t have been so heavy handed. He is still my classmate.

She was dead sure that this was Yang Tian’s doing. He was very strong, this was something that Mu Wu Han never doubted. Because of this, when the male student came looking for trouble with Yang Tian, she didn’t paid much attention to it.

Yang Tian made an innocent face:

- That wasn’t me. Look, everyone can be my witness. My hands have not move from this position. Maybe he has some sort of weird disease and it just happens to act up now.

Knowing that Yang Tian wouldn’t be caught dead admitting it, Mu Wu Han didn’t force him. Hearing the scream, the teachers quickly arrived. Seeing the male student on the ground screaming out, they asked the surrounding people:

- Do you know what happened to him?

The group of students all shook their head. They didn’t see Yang Tian do anything so they could only go with guess of some illness acting up. After not getting any clear answers, the teachers could only wait for medical staff to bring the male student away. When he was put on a stretcher, his arm was finally revealed. It looked withered from elbow to the palm. The male student had long pass his limit and passed out.

Yang Tian deliberately obstruct Mu Wu Han’s vision from this scene. If not he wouldn’t even know how to explain this to her.

After a while, when all the chatters died down a bit, a teacher got on the bus and began a roll call. After checking the list and recounting the number of people, the teacher asked:

- There’s one more person here than in the list. Is any of you on the wrong bus?

Yang Tian knew that this about him so he stood up:

- It’s me, my bus was already full and I heard that this one has an extra seat so I came here.

The teacher adjusted her glasses and looked at him:

- You are?

- My name is Yang Tian.

She remembered there was someone in the special student list named Yang Tian. This list was established by the university for the teachers to know which student have big background. They were in school only for the fun of it and as long as they don’t violate the law, there was no need to pick a fight with them.

- Yang Tian? Sophomore in the Finance major?

- That’s right.

- Alright, just stay where you are and I’ll tell your teacher that you are here.

Yang Tian turned to Mu Wu Han with a grin. She only gave him a glance:

- It seems that you are still hiding a lot from me. If you are simple an orphan without any familial background, even if you opened your own company, how could you make everyone so wary of you.

- So it’ this matter. I’ll tell you in due time. However what I told you before was the truth, it’s just that it was only a part of it. Everything I have right now was made by my hands.

Yang Tian didn’t lie, his parents and all of his relatives were killed more than a thousand years ago. Everything he has today was built with his own hard work. Yang Tian and Mu Wu Han chatted merrily in spite of all the jealous and annoyed gaze directed at them from all directions.

The location for their field trip this time was the foot of a mountain near Bei Jiang City. Since the number of participating students were so high, the school couldn’t go anywhere too far. After arriving at the place, Yang Tian had to returned to his class to set up camp. Before he left, he gave Mu Wu Han the stack of pictures that he robbed from Li Pan. Mu Wu Han received the photos and her cheeks slightly reddened:

- Where did you get these photos?

- I took them myself. What do you think, are they good? I spent a lot of time touching them up to give it to you.

Yang Tian’s shamelessness was at a max here. If Li Pan was here, he would have cried a river. This guy not only took his stuff, he also stole all the credit.

Yang Tian didn’t feel any shame doing something like this. If you are going after a woman without any stratagem, you are bound to be forever alone.

As expected, Mu Wu Han smiled happily. Under surprised gaze of everyone, she tiptoed up and gave Yang Tian a kiss on the cheek before running away. Yang Tian rubbed his cheek, and looked at the departing Mu Wu Han with a smile. This was a great success.

Yang Tian then returned to his class for a roll call. After that, he and Li Pan was assigned to find some firewood for the campfire. Yang Tian had no interest in this type of brainless menial job so everything was all on Li Pan.

- Panzi, go and get the wood. I’m going for a stroll.

- No way, this is something that’s assigned to the both of us. I can’t do it all alone.

Yang Tian then produced several large value banknotes and gave it to Li Pan. Immediately the dishonest merchant in Li Pan came out:

- Of course, we are good brothers. If you are busy then just go on ahead. I’ll get the firewood in your place.

Seeing Li Pan’s greed, Yang Tian shook his head. For better or for worse, he was already back at the Li Clan. He’s now a young master of the Li Clan and he shouldn’t have sullied their image for some cash.

Yang Tian didn’t know that although Li Pan had returned to the Li Clan, since he still couldn’t cultivate, he still belonged to the outer clan. The only thing he could do is manage the clan’s wealth and businesses. However since he hadn’t graduate yet, the Li Clan couldn’t possibly let him manage any of the businesses or the money. Because of this, although Li Pan isn’t as poor as before, he wasn’t in any way rich. Not only that, Li Wu was a young miss of the Li Clan and she was used to living in luxury so Li Pan had to save up a lot for all of their expenses.

Putting Li Pan’s story aside, Yang Tian was going on a walk. His main goal was to see what Li Xiang was up to. After circling around the mountain, Yang Tian detected a cave carefully hidden behind tree branches and vines. Using his spiritual sense to explore inside, Yang Tian saw a large steel gate. Behind it were two people with guns guarding the place:

- It seems that he had a detailed plan in place.

Chapter 134 - Li Pan’s Business

The elderly woman smiled bitterly. The Venom Clan’s laws have existed for more than a thousand years and Yang Tian just changed them on a whim. He even said that he would change them further once he thought of something. He was truly looking down on the Venom Clan. However she only thought of that in her head and didn’t say it out loud.

After Yang Tian changed the laws, he was satisfied:

- Alright, now you go and tell everyone the changes. I don’t want another Venomancer come and look for trouble with me.

- Everything will be as you say.

After everything was done, Yang Tian didn’t stay any longer. He was here to slash and burn so he should leave quickly after the deed was done. He retrace his steps through the tunnels before using the flying artifacts to return home. It was now only 10pm. When he was at the Venom Clan, it was around 7am so the Venom Clan was half a world away from here.

The length of this trip was as Yang Tian expected. He was now thinking about how to explain Wang Bao’s disappearance to Qin Xue. He had just asked for Wang Bao’s phone number and the man went missing couple of days later. Qin Xue would surely suspect foul play.

After thinking of a reasonable explanation, Yang Tian was at eased as he went to bed. However it seemed that he was worried for nothing as for the following days, Qin Xue didn’t even mention this at all. Maybe the news that Wang Bao was missing had reached her yet.

Today was the day of the field trip. Qin Xue already went to the capital since yesterday so Yang Tian felt comfortable attending this trip. He felt like he was going behind his wife back for some side action. However not only did he not feel guilty, he even felt that this was very interesting.

Yang Tian looked around and Li Pan still wasn’t here. However he didn’t need to wait long as Li Pan arrive with his oversized luggage, the kind you used to travel abroad. Yang Tian looked at Li Pan who was out of breath carrying the suitcase and mocked:

- Li Pan, are you moving your entire house?

Li Pan put his suitcase down and wiped off his sweat. He looked at Yang Tian with a roguish look:

- You know nothing. Personal items are only secondary. I’m bringing along many treasures this time. If I manage to get into contact with the juniors, I can make a killing.

Hearing Li Pan’s dishonest merchant talk, Yang Tian was intrigued:

- Panzi, we are good brothers, you should share with me a bit.

Li Pan quickly shook his head:

- Not a chance. Leaking information when doing business is a big no no. If you leak this anyone else, I could be affected.

Yang Tian looked at the distance and said some seemingly innocuous words:

- I think the Li Clan invited me to come over the other day for a chat. I was going to put in a good word for you. It seems that I have to change my plans now.

Li Pan eyes went wide with anger. This guy Yang Tian always brought up the Li Clan to bully him. If Li Pan was a dishonest merchant then Yang Tian would be the corrupted official that always take bribes. After pulling Yang Tian to a secluded place, Li Pan opened the suitcase and took out several different items. There were detailed descriptions of each item attached:

- Statuette of Qin Xue made from special material. Caressing it yields a 60 - 70% feeling of the real thing. Suitable for any brother that has been fantasizing about her for a long.

- Pictures of Mu Wu Han exercising in the field. Good angles, many poses, worthy of being called a masterpiece.

- A replica of Ling Ya Qi’s clothes from her performance last night. Comes with a signed autograph from her. You only need to look at the picture and the hug this dress… The feeling is magnificent.

- A hat that instructor Zhao Wu Xin used to wear. This is the real deal. Still has her scent on it. Because the dangers and difficulties involved in obtaining this item, this will be up for auction.

These were only few of the eye-catching ones. There were still many other miscellaneous items inside. Li Pan saw Yang Tian’s focus on those items and a sense of unease washed over him.

- Yang Tian, you shouldn’t think about this too much. I only want to make a quick buck, I mean no harm.

Yang Tian smiled:

- Li Pan, you are something else. You dare sell items relating to my target.

Seeing Yang Tian’s evil smile, Li Pan quickly turned and ran. Could he have escaped? This answer was a resounding no. After a few moment, Yang Tian and Li Pan walked out. Li Pan’s face had some few additional bumps and bruises. Yang Tian said as he walked:

- Panzi, I’m warning you. You can’t sell these types of items from now on.

Li Pan was already in tears:

- This is my main source of income. You must know that Qin Xue and the likes are women within the dreams of the majority of men in this university. Ling Ya Qi is a superstar so there’s no need to say anything about that…

- Stop, don’t try to talk your way out of this. You can just find items of other beauties in the future. However the people around me are off limits. I’ll confiscate these items as a warning.

Li Pan was silent. Yang Tian was the typical exploitative bourgeoisie. If he wanted to take them, he should have just said so. No need for all of that bullshit about warning. Such a hateful man. Of course Yang Tian didn’t know what Li Pan was thinking else he’d been in for another beating.

- Store the other stuff carefully, I’ll take them when we get back. For now give me Mu Wu Han’s pictures.

- What do you want her pictures for?

- That’s a secret.

Seeing Yang Tian’s perverted smile. Li Pan knew that this guy was up to no good. Did he want to use Mu Wu Han’s pictures to pleasure himself? Receiving a stack of pictures from Li Pan, Yang Tian stowed them away and was satisfied:

- Ah right, Panzi. Do you know which bus Mu Wu Han’s class will be on?

Since the field trip that the university organized this time was free of charge, the number of people participating was staggering. Each class had their own bus so of course Yang Tian’s main goal was to sit in the bus as Mu Wu Han. Li Pan looked at Yang Tian cautiously:

- What are you up to this time? I’ll have you know, the school has dictated that each student must sit in their respective class’ car.

- You think those rules have any effects on me?

Li Pan shook his head. Yang Tian wasn’t wrong. If he wanted to do something, who could stop him. Li Pan quickly pointed Yang Tian towards Mu Wu Han’s bus.

- I'll leave everything else to you.

- Alright.

What Yang Tian asked of him wasn’t a big deal. It was just calling his name out during the roll call. Yang Tian hopped on the bus and quickly found Mu Wu Han. She was sitting alone in the center of the bus near the window. She had her hand on it and looking outside.

Yang Tian ignored the strange looks he got from the people on the bus and sat down next to Mu Wu Han. Startled by the sudden sound, Mu Wu Han turned around and after seeing Yang Tian, was a bit surprised and elated:

- Why are you here?

- My bus is full so I’m getting on another one. It’s lucky that this was your bus.

Although she knew that Yang Tian was lying, Mu Wu Han happily accept that explanation without asking anything else. Yang Tian looked around and then asked Mu Wu Han:

- Why do I get the feeling that they are all deathly afraid of me. I don’t recall doing anything to them.

- Is it not because of all the ruckus you caused at the News Department the other day? I’ve heard that guy was beaten black and blue by you. The police were even called and you still came out unscathed. After that the entire News Department didn’t dare to breath one word about the incident. However there were passerby when that happened so it spread all over school. You now even have a nickname - Young Tyrant, and no one dares to mess with you. Oh, right, what did they do that made you so angry?

Yang Tian couldn’t answer this question truthfully. His mind was working overtime to come up with an answer:

- It’s like this, I don’t know how that guy got a picture of me but he did. He photoshopped it so that I was in the women’s bathroom then posted it in the comedy section. Think about it, how could a standup guy like myself do something so lowly. Of course I have to give him a lesson.

Chapter 133 - Mortal Extermination

As Wang Bao was about to curse Yang Tian some more, his felt as if his throat was choking up. His eyes felt like they were about to pop out. His body turned red and strands of blood became visible all over his body. Immense fright as well as regret was the last thing he thought before he died. Wang Bao’s entire body ballooned up and then exploded. Blood and gore scattered everywhere but none of it got onto Yang Tian’s body.

Wang Bao had scheme against him multiple time so letting him die a quick death was not Yang Tian’s style.

Bai Tong Zhi could held it in no longer, Yang Tian had twice killed a witness in front of him. No matter how powerful Yang Tian was, if he didn’t kill him, it would affect his clan member’s faith in him. Bai Tong Zhi gave a hidden signal and the rest of the Venom Clan quick fell into formation and multiple different types of bugs attacked Yang Tian.

Bai Tong Zhi produced a bell and then threw it into the air. With sound the bell made, the bugs and insects were further empowered/ Yang Tian was surrounded in all different manners of poison gas and poison darts. Suddenly, a flame flashed out and with frightening speed, swept through everything. Before anyone could realized what happened, the swarm of insects have disappeared without a trace.

Within the colorful smoke, Yang Tian appeared. His body was entirely untouched by even the tiniest particle of dust. Even the chair he was sitting on was in one piece. Yang Tian smiled and said:

- No need to be hasty, I still haven’t told you my reason for being here. Wait until I finish then you can attack.

Bai Tong Zhi immediately signaled his men to stop. Their Venom Clan was very afraid of people using fire spiritual qi since most bugs were afraid of fire. Yang Tian’s cultivation was very strong, coupled with his fire spiritual qi, even if they manage to kill him, they’d have to pay a very high price.

- Speak whatever it is that have to say.

- Just one thing, couple of days ago I “accidentally” killed a Venomancer of yours. After that you sent three other people after me and I “slipped” my hands once again. That’s right, it was an accident. I know about the laws of your Venom Clan but I am someone that doesn’t like troublesome thing. So I am here to change your laws in your stead.

A strong killing intent burst out. Bai Tong Zhi bawled up in hands and said in a menacing voice:

- So you are the one that killed my son and then killed three Law Enforcers of out Venom Clan?

- Is that who they were? I’m not sure myself but that sounds about right. I say, the laws of your Venom Clan isn’t really that great. Why cling on to revenge? What if your enemy is too powerful? Wouldn’t that lead to the destruction of the entire Venom Clan? Prime example, someone like me showing up. So I propose…

- Die.

Without waiting for Yang Tian to finished, Bai Tong Zhi yelled out. His entire body grew until he became an old man with long white hair. Bai Tong Zhi ignored all the backlash from his spells and immediately used a secret art.

A red insect flew out from his body and then became bigger and bigger. This insect looked like a cross between a bee and a fly. It has a long trunk on its face. The “bee-fly” grew to be a bit bigger than a meter before stopping. After that, it emanated with a red light and covered Bai Tong Zhi’s entire body with it.

The light faded and revealed a person with a mutated face. On his face was a long and large trunk while his back sprouted a large pair of black wings. Whenever it flapped, powerful gust of winds blew forth. The people from the Venom Clan were frightened and immediately distanced themselves. This was a secret merging technique of the Venom Clan and while Bai Tong Zhi only used the lowest grade available, it still caused his cultivation to skyrocket to mid Golden Core.

Yang Tian looked at the creature before him and shook his head in disdain. He once met people from the Venom Clan that used this technique. Take the guy that Yang Tian mentioned before, after using the technique, he only sprouted a pair of wings. It not only did it not look ugly, it was even rather elegant. As for this Bai Tong Zhi, Yang Tian guessed that he couldn’t even speak human language anymore.

Reality proved Yang Tian’s conjecture as only buzzing sound came out of Bai Tong Zhi’s mouth before he launched poison needles towards Yang Tian. After that, the wings on his back flapped heavily and his entire body turned into a black blur before he appeared behind Yang Tian. The trunk tried to pierce Yang Tian’s neck to enter his brain and drained it.

A good plan and a good execution. However the difference in cultivation between the two were far too large. Before the poison needles could reach Yang Tian, they all shattered and fell to the ground. Two strand of sword qi suddenly appeared out of thin air and as they flew out, Bai Tong Zhi’s trunk and wings were lopped off. He quickly opened his mouth and black poison smoke flew straight towards Yang Tian.

Before the black smoke could touch him, it was immediately burned away by fire. The flame didn’t stop there as it enveloped Bai Tong Zhi’s entire body. A deafening scream rang out and from within the fire, two black shadow launched out into two different direction. The “bee-fly” was quickly burned to ashes. Bai Tong Zhi laid there, his entire body was burned black as he struggled to breath in.

Seeing Yang Tian slowly approached him, Bai Tong Zhi didn’t show any fear:

- Kill me.

Yang Tian was a bit surprised:

- You are not going to beg for your life?

- No need, you are the enemy that killed my son. We can never live under the same sky. If you didn’t die today then I would. It’s only a shame that I am not as powerful as you are and can’t get vengeance for my son.

- You are an opponent worthy of respect.

Bai Tong Zhi had received Yang Tian’s respect. What was the final goal of Cultivators? It was to achieve immortality. Why did they want that? It was simply that they didn’t want to die. Because of this, many Cultivators were even more afraid of death than mortals. They could even abandon their loved ones and their self-respect in hopes of life. Because of this alone, not counting his cultivation, Bai Tong Zhi was worthy of Yang Tian’s respect.

However that didn’t mean Yang Tian would spare him. The space cracked and shuddered. Afterwards a crack leading to a dark dimension was formed. From inside the crack flew out a sword. Yang Tian caressed the sword gently:

- This is Mortal Extermination, a part of my life-bound artifact. To show my respect to you, I’ll let you die under this blade.

Yang Tian swung the sword and sliced down silently. Bai Tong Zhi immediately disappeared but the ground he stood on didn’t even leave a trace of the sword strike. This was the scariness of the Mortal Extermination. It was solely used to kill living beings while leaving everything else intact.

Returning to the altar, all that was left was ruins. Yang Tian focused his attention on the cave deep inside the mountain:

- I am Yang Tian, I just killed your Patriarch. I know that you are the true head of the Venom Clan. I’ll give you one minute to appear before me.

Yang Tian used his Voice Projection to issued a command to the person in closed door cultivation in the cave. Without letting him wait too long, a elderly woman appeared before him. She surveyed the surrounding before saying grimly:

- You are the one that killed the Patriarch and destroyed the altar?

- Nope, the altar was destroyed during the battle.

- What difference does that make?

- Are you stupid? I mean that it was destroyed during the battle and not afterwards.

The elderly woman’s eyes went wide. Yang Tian was clearly nitpicking on her words to mock her:

- It doesn’t matter if it was before or after. Since you killed our Patriarch, prepare to pay with your life.

The woman swung her cane up high but before she could finish her strike, her knees buckled and she knelt on the ground. Her entire body was forced down by an extremely powerful pressure and she couldn’t even move a muscle. Only now did Yang Tian spoke up:

- I don’t mind killing you but that would make the Venom Clan like a snake without its head. Who knows what they’ll be up too if that happens.

- My lord, if you have any commands, I’ll immediately execute them.

Being forced down by sheer pressure, the elderly woman knew the person before was someone that she could never possibly win against. So she decided to serve. Yang Tian retracted the pressure and said with satisfaction:

- My demands aren’t much. First you need to explain the death of the Patriarch to everyone else, just say he was critically injured during the fight and needs to nurse his wounds. After that, you need to change your laws a bit, this part…

After Yang Tian said a slew of changes, he waved his hands:
