Chapter 126 - Burning People to Death

As the three people were still talking, a sound reverberated from outside. One of the men quickly snatched the orb and stowed it inside his body. Another sound rang out and this time the door was swung open.

 

Yang Tian stepped inside. He paid no heed to the people inside but was evaluating the room first:

- You Venomancers are truly strange. Why do you always like to live in such dark and confined space?

The three were in defensive stance. It was as if only one misspoken words enough to set them off on the offensive:

- Who are you?

- Weren’t you guys spying on me? Earlier I had to even take care of a bunch of bugs outside my house. Oh, I also accidentally killed a Venomancer sometimes back. That guy was even more disgusting than you guys. When I met him, he was on top of a pile of trash.

- It was you.

The three recognized who he was now. However they didn’t charge in to attack. Attacking before knowing the strength of your opponent was a stupid decision. Furthermore, Yang Tian found them and made his way here in such a short amount of time made them feel extremely pressured. The person in front of them was in no weaker than the three of them combined.

Seeing the trio still in defensive stance and not attacking, Yang Tian praised them:

- Not bad, you have more brains than the other guy.

- Why did you kill our young master?

- He wanted to kill me, are you saying I’m supposed to spare him after that?

The trio’s expression calmed down a bit. The person called Elder Brother clenched his fist into his palm and said:

- So we are at fault in this situation. You killed him because he deserved it. We will go back and report this to the higher ups. Farewell.

Not only Yang Tian but the other two people were taken aback. What did their eldest brother meant by that? The Elder Brother turned around and upon seeing the other two not willing to leave, shouted:

- Didn't you hear what I just said?

The two still didn’t understand what was going on but they had always followed the orders of the man in front of them to the letter. So they immediately followed behind him without question.

The trio headed for the door but they were still stopped by Yang Tian. The Elder Brother bowed respectfully:

- This friend, can you move so that we can leave?

Yang Tian looked at the Elder Brother with an intrigued look:

- You are very smart and I’m guessing that you are the person in charge here. It’s just that did you really think that you can fool me with something like that?

The Elder brother’s eyes flashed in caution and Yang Tian felt the insects within his body were beginning to stir. The two behind him had similar movements.

 

- Tell me, what do we have to do for you to let us go?

- Truly wise people don’t mince their words. I want you to take me to the Venom Clan.

The trio simultaneously shouted:

- Impossible. The Venom Clan is a forbidden place to outsiders.

- No need to be so quick, I suggest you think about it slowly.

As Yang Tian said that, he extended his hand and produced a fireball. Insects fear fire the most and Venomancers were born and raised with insects and Gu bugs so they shared this fear with them. Although Yang Tian was outwardly smiling, this was nothing less but a blatant threat.

The trio looked at the fireball in Yang Tian’s hand and subconsciously retreated a step. The caution in their eyes were getting stronger.

- So you are a Cultivator.

- No need for more words. You only need to say whether or not you agree with my request.

Without any warning, the trio quickly leaped backwards and various insects shot out from their body. Yang Tian didn’t seem surprised and the fireball in his hand flew forward before exploding. The room was quickly drowned in a sea of fire and all the insects were turned into ashes in a blink of an eye.

Yang Tian waved his hand and the sea of fire dissipated, leaving the trio burnt to crisp but still alive. This was Yang Tian intentionally sparing their lives. He slowly walked towards them:

- Now, do you have a different answer?

The trio became submissive, as if they’ve already decided to parley. Suddenly, a green sphere appeared behind Yang Tian and shot towards him.

- Idiocy.

Yang Tian said that and many sword qi emanated from his body. The sphere was immediately destroyed and the insect inside was sliced apart into many pieces before falling to the ground. Yang Tian looked at the trio and was at a lost for words. The three men were sliced into minced meat by the sword qi. They looked like the minced pork people sell at the market.

- This is…

What happened was Yang Tian slipped up. More precisely, he was angered by the trio’s action. Killing them wasn’t hard but Yang Tian primarily wanted to find the location of the Venom Clan. If not then he’ll be constantly bothered by them from now on. His only hope now was Wang Bao and he didn’t like the man at all.

- Aizz, when did my self-control become so weak? It seems I could only track down that Wang Bao.

Seeing the desolate scenery, Yang Tian quickly escaped. He just burned people alive so if anyone saw then he would definitely be branded a criminal. Before returning home, Yang Tian stopped by a store to buy a gift and had it carefully wrapped. He wanted to go to the Wang Clan tomorrow. It has been a while so Wang Yun should be less angry with him.

Back then, all he needed to do was to comfort her, gave her a sturdy foundation to rely on and made her feel happy and he could’ve had a beauty in his hand. It’s too bad that was only the ideal situation. The reality is much more disappointing.

…

At this time Yang Tian was sitting across from Old Wang. The present he prepared had been thrown to the side. His face clearly shown disappointment:

- You are saying that Wang Yun already left the country?

Old Wang looked at the present thrown on the side and sighed:

- That’s right. After hearing that Yun-er was cured, her parents quickly returned. To be sure, the brought Yun-er abroad for further examination. Yun-er also has dreams and aspirations of her own so she went with them to continue pursuing them. It could be 5 years or 10 years. I don’t know when she’ll return.

- Ah, what’s her dream? Can’t she fulfill them in the country?

Old Wang shook his head:

- She wants to be like me – an archaeologist. As you know, ancient tombs and artifacts are scattered all over the world. Finding them is very difficult. It’s a hard job, not suited for a woman like her. I’ve tried to dissuade her many times in the past but she never listened to me. Everyone have their own dream so in the end I could only support her.

Hearing Old Wang said all of that, Yang Tian was taken aback. He never accounted for situation like this. What if Wang Yun was actually gone for 5-10 years? What would he do them? Old Wang poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards Yang Tian:

- Do you really like my granddaughter?

Yang Tian nodded and smiled:

- Is that something that needed to be asked? She’s very beautiful and we have a special connection between us. So I can’t just give up on her.

- Is that so?

Old Wang nodded and was a bit elated. He produced an envelope and gave it to Yang Tian:

- Yun-er knows that I like to read handwritten letter and not through the phone or email so whenever she visits a new place, she’ll always send me a letter. This is the latest one. Her current address is on the letter. If you truly love her then go and find her. If you two are destined then you’ll meet her.

Yang Tian knew what Old Wang meant by “destined”. It was quite simple. Even if he went to her now, there was no guarantee that he’ll meet her. She might have move to a different place. Everything depended on luck. Looking closely at the address on the letter, Yang Tian stood up and said goodbye to Old Wang:

- Since everything is like this, I won’t delay any further. I’ll go and find her now.

- I’ll await your good news.

Seeing Yang Tian leaving, Old Wang sighed:

- Yun-er is a good girl, I hope you’ll treat her well.

- Yun-er, grandpa can only help you up to here. You must seize your chance.

Chapter 125 - Trouble from the Venom Clan

Li Xiang shook his head:

- That's right, my treat.

- If my memory serves, our relationship isn't nowhere near that good. It could even be said that we are enemies.

- There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. You and I might be enemies yesterday but that doesn't mean that it holds true today. Besides, who said that enemies can't share the same table?

- Well said. Alright, I'll drink with you.

If Yang Tian didn't know that Li Xiang was up to something then it would be strange thing. However with his personality, the was no way Yang Tian would back down from a challenge. Especially not from someone weaker than himself.

The two got on the care and Li Xiang drove Yang Tian to a newly established bar. This place was quite luxurious. Every table was covered with a white sheet and had a flower pot on it. In the middle of the bar was a large dance floor. To be honest, it looked more like a club than a bar.

Stepping inside, the two was quickly escorted to large party table. Dishes and drinks were already prepared beforehand. Li Xiang signaled the server to leave before turning to Yang Tian:

- How do you feel about this place?

- Not bad, is this a bar you opened?

- That's right.

Li Xiang didn't explain further and raised his glasses at Yang Tian:

- I hope you enjoy this wine. This was something that I imported from abroad. The flavor is exquisite.

Yang Tian took the glass to his mouth and downed it in one go. The flavor was refreshing but it still stuck in your mouth, not bad. Putting the glass back onto the table, Yang Tian chuckled:

- It seems that you don't have the audacity to put poison in the wine.

- How would I have the nerves to do that. If you want to kill me afterwards, wouldn't that be just as easy?

Yang Tian wasn't in the mood to make small talk with him:

- I've drank your wine so say what you want to say. I'm don't have that much free time.

Raising his own glass, Li Xiang also downed his wine in one go. Although this wine wasn't too powerful, normally people wouldn't just gulp down such a large glass of wine.

- You want to give yourself a bit more courage?

Li Xiang's face was already a bit red:

- That's right, I just want to tell you that during this outing, I plan on confessing to Wu Han. I hope that you can be a witness and be happy for us.

Li Xiang's words caught Yang Tian by surprised. Did this guy hit his head somewhere?

- Li Xiang, did you put the poison in the wrong glass? Since you treated me to a drink, I can be generous and save you this one time.

Li Xiang was seemingly drunk and his words were a bit harsh:

- I'm perfectly sober and fine so you can either believe this or don't . I've already decided on this. If not why do you think I would waste my money sponsoring your school?

Yang Tian was made to chuckle by Li Xiang, this fellow truly had a comedic mind.

- Not mentioning the fact if you have to guts to confess or not. Do you think Wu Han will agree?

- I won't know till I try. Are you afraid?

- Me? Afraid?

As he said that, Yang Tian stood up and walked to Li Xiang:

- Are you saying that I should be afraid of you? If I wanted to, I kill you right at this moment.

Li Xiang tried to contain his frightened mind and kept a calm face:

- If you want to kill me then you can do it right now. However that only proves that you are afraid of me. Which means I already won this little contest of our. To be able to best someone like you, I, Li Xiang can die happy.

- Is that so.

Yang Tian's smiling face suddenly turned serious, and his hand reached out to Li Xiang. Time seemingly froze and Li Xiang could hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster. His face, however, was still very calm, as if what he saying was correct. Death truly didn't frighten him.

Yang Tian's outreach hand didn't do anything special as he only patted Li Xiang's shoulder:

- No worries, I am completely uninterested in killing someone like you. If you want to play it like that then I'll play with you to the end.

After he said that, Yang Tian left with a glass of wine in his hand. There was still a voice ringing in Li Xiang's ears:

- This wine is very good, think of it as what saved your life.

Li Xiang’s back was already full of sweat. Yang Tian didn’t even use any skills or spells. His glare and gestures were enough to made Li Xiang felt frightening pressure. His shaking hand were still holding on to the wine glass and he brought it up to his mouth. He was still shaking so much and half of the wine were splattered all over his clothes:

- Cultivators are truly fearsome. However the more powerful you are, the more I want to kill you. I want everyone to know that anyone offending Li Xiang would not have a good ending. 

Yang Tian stepped outside, downed the glass of wine and then threw it on the ground:

- You want to scheme against me with only that? Fine, I’ll help you complete this little play. However the ending will be written by me and not you.

With his experience and intelligence, how could Yang Tian not know what Li Xiang’s true motive was. Confessing to Mu Wu Han was just an excuse to get Yang Tian to participate in the outing. There was no doubt that his main goal was Yang Tian himself.

Yang Tian agreed to play this game simple because he believed that Li Xiang was no threat to him. A mortal wanting to harm a True Immortal. Even the best comedians wouldn’t be able to write something so absurd. It was truly beyond the realms of reality.

At this time, Li Xiang didn’t know that Yang Tian had seen through his plan. He was still dreaming about the day Yang Tian died in his hands without knowing that he already has one foot into the Yellow River.

Yang Tian returned home since it was already late. He initially wanted to go to bed before discovering someone spying on him outside his house. To be more precise, it was as if hundreds of eyes were on him the moment he step foot inside the house.

When did so many people appeared? The answer was that there weren’t hundreds of people outside. There was no one so stupid as to send that many people to spy on one person. The thing that was watching Yang Tian were insects on the wall, the fences and the electric poles.

- It’s the people from the Venom Clan again. When you kill one, the whole clan swarm in on you. Do I really need to go there and kill every last one of you?

Yang Tian felt annoyed. He was annoyed with the laws of the Venom Clan. Even in the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm, he had already changed these laws. Unfortunately this was only a small branch of the Venom Clan that inadvertently got lost here so they had no ideas about the new laws.

Yang Tian extended his palm and a powerful gravitational force exerted out. All the surrounding insects were squeezed into a giant colorful ball. A flame then blazed out and the ball was gone without a sound. Yang Tian’s figure then disappeared into the darkness.

Somewhere far away, three people were meditating in a small house. From there body, strands of green qi connected them and forming a triangle. In the middle of the triangle was a green orb. Inside the orb was a shadowy figure. Within the heaven and earth, spiritual qi constantly pour out of the orb and the creature inside it was making small raspy noise.

The connection was suddenly broken and the stream of spiritual qi immediately vanished. The green orb was still hovering above the ground. Someone quickly asked:

- Third Brother, what is happening?

The person called Third Brother light coughed and said:

- The swarm of insects I used to scout out the house was completely annihilated.

- Completely?

- That’s right, not even one survived:

- So we are exposed. This wasn’t out of our expectation. If not how could he manage to kill the young master. Elder Brother, what should we do next?

The person called Elder Brother shook his head:

- There’s no rush. We still don’t have sufficient information on our enemy. We shouldn’t act out of line. First let’s wait for the Deathwave Bug to finish evolving.
