He examined his surrounding and after ascertaining that no one was near, walked towards a sewer grate. He opened the grate and jumped down. Walking along the sewer line, the middle aged man headed into a dark alleyway. A strand of black devilish qi shot out from his hand into the opposite wall. Before the devilish qi could touch it, it was stopped by an invisible force. The air surrounding it rippled.
The wall suddenly disappeared and a teleportation array appeared before him. The middle aged man produced 4 devil stones and placed them in the socket of the array then stepped inside. A black pillar of light appeared within the array and the middle aged man as well as the array disappeared simultaneously, leaving behind the scenery as it was.
In a place deep underneath the ocean, a black pillar of light appeared and the middle aged man stepped out from it. He headed in a singular direction and then stopped in front of a place as black as ink. He then produced an identification card and thew it before him. A wave of black smoke appeared before him. It then suddenly enveloped him and disappeared.
The middle aged man appeared once again and before him was a massive Blood Altar. Surrounding the Blood Altar were several blood red stones that are constantly emanating blood qi and feeding it to the Altar. On top of the Blood Altar was a large crimson sphere. The blood qi from the Altar was constantly rising up and merging with the sphere.
The Blood Sphere shook slightly and a booming voice sounded out from inside:
- What's the result?
The middle aged man bowed and said respectfully:
- Great Blood God, Yang Tian easily neutralized my magic. I believe he could've easily killed me.
- Hmm, that means he had reached Nascent Soul. So have you relayed my words to him?
- Your servant have done so but he wasn't interested in sharing the world. He had demanded something else.
- Speak.
The middle aged man was a bit hesitant. That request was a bit out of line. He could feel strong spiritual qi from that wine. Seeing that middle aged man's hesitation, the Blood Sphere once again boomed out:
- Speak, as long as the request is within reason, I won't deny it.
The middle aged man saw that Blood God didn't have any more patient and quickly said:
- Yang Tian said that he wasn't interested in ruling the world but he especially liked that spirit wine. He said that each bottle of spirit wine would buy us one month of time.
The entire space was silent and the middle aged man was sweating bullets. He was very afraid that the Blood God would get angry. The things that he saw was terrible enough that it would make a person, who was drench in blood like him, shook in fright. After a short while, the Blood Sphere boomed out again:
- That shouldn't be a problem. I've retrieved 30 bottles from the cave. I've drank two and one was given to him. Give him the rest of the 27 bottles.
As he said that, a small jade box flew out from within the Blood Sphere. This was a type of storage space, especially used to contain items with strong spiritual qi to help minimize the waste. The middle aged man took the box and was a bit surprised:
- My Lord Blood God, we only need a bit more than a year's time. We don't have to give him all of it.
- It's fine, this type of spirit wine have little use to us. Besides we don't know if that old man from Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak is still alive or not. If he isn't dead then our plans might be delayed for some time.
- Your servant understand. I will dispatch someone to bring this to him.
The middle aged man bowed and then left. A blood light emanated out of the Sphere and a figure stepped out of it:
- Pretending to be so loyal. Did you think that I wouldn't know of you schemes? If not for your usefulness, I'd have killed you long ago. A mere late Golden Core dared to scheme against me.
As he said that, several Blood Stones flew out from the Altar. Blood God caught and crushed them all. From the Blood Stones, several strange of grey qi flew out making the scene bone chilling. The Blood God disappeared and the entire world soon returned to a deep red like before.
...
The next morning, Yang Tian was awoken by Ye Wen Tian for breakfast. After enjoying a intricate meal, he turned to ask Ye Wen Tian:
- Don't tell me that those old fogeys are still not done with the meeting.
Ye Wen Tian still maintained his smiled but he was cursing inside. This was a matter pertaining to the fate of the entire world. How could they be wishy washy with it.
Yang Tian saw that Ye Wen Tian was silent and knew his answer. He was a bit annoyed and stood up:
- Since it's like that then I'll be going first. When the meeting ends, tell the people of the Nan Gong Clan to come and find me.
If everything was over then Ye Wen Tian wouldn't even try to keep Yang Tian around. However the President already ordered to keep him here so how could Ye Wen Tian dared to disobey. If he let that guy leave then who on earth could bring him back. Ye Wen Tian had soon predicted that Yang Tian would say this nad already had a solution:
- You could go and pay a visit to the Qin Clan. I heard that the Patriarch of the Qin Clan wants to discuss some matters with you.
- Ah, how could I forget?
Yang Tian had completely forgot about that invitation. Now that Ye Wen Tian had reminded him, of course he had to go. He casted a meaningful glance to Ye Wen Tian:
- You seems to know a lot.
- My mission is to control the three great clans and not let them get to rowdy. So it's an unavoidable matter that I have spies within their organization.
- Alright but if they are still not done after I return from the Qin Clan then I won't wait any longer.
Seeing Yang Tian leaving, Ye Wen Tian could only sighed. Yang Tian arrived at the Qin Clan and didn't meet with too much trouble. To avoid wasting time, he directly telepathically contacted the person with the highest cultivation to come out and greet in. Everything went smoothly after that. Right at that moment, a elderly man with snow white hair was in front of Yang Tian. He poured a cup of tea for Yang Tian and then said:
- You made this old wait for a long time.
- I've been busy recently. Only now did I have the free time. I wonder what the Patriarch wants me to be here for?
The elder evaluated Yang Tian a bit then said:
- Ah Da must have told you the last time you saw him. I want to meet you to discuss Xue-er's marriage.
Hearing the old man say that, Yang Tian smiled happily:
- Of course there's no trouble on my end. We only need Xue-er's approval.
- I've heard about the relationship between the two of you. I'm sure she won't reject this arrangement. I just hope that you'll promise me that you'll treat her right.
Yang Tian nodded in confirmation:
- As long as I, Yang Tian, am here, no one can harm her.
- Is that so? What worries me is that you'll be the one that hurts her.
Yang Tian wasn't stupid, of course he knew what the elder was referring to. However womanizing was in his blood and he would never agree to abandon any of his women.
The elder saw that Yang Tian was silent and could only sighed:
- This is the business between you young people so I won't get myself involve. As long as you get it sorted out.
Feeling the sincerity in his voice, Yang Tian's goodwill towards the Qin Clan risen quite a bit. Since the matter of marriage between Qin Xue and Li Xiang from last time, Yang Tian thought that the Qin Clan only puts benefit ahead.
The elder seemingly understood what Yang Tian was thinking and said after taking a sip of tea:
- When you are born into a great clan, it's hard to be able to determine your own fate. Qin Xue and Li Xiang's engagement wasn't something that I wanted at the time but it was a necessity. The Qin Clan wasn't in a good state and the Li Clan and Huang Clan had always tried to swallow us whole.
- I've checked Xue-er's talent ever since she was little and she cannot cultivate. So I've ordered that no one tells her about the truth behind the Qin Clan. I just want her to leave a normal, happy life.
The elder was talking as a grandfather talking about his granddaughter and not as a the Patriarch of the Qin Clan. Yang Tian nodded:
- You don't need to explain yourself. I can understand your situation.
- As long as you understand. Now, let's pick a date for your wedding.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter. I feel like Qin Xue will definitely feel hurt when she finds out about his womanizing ways.
