Chapter 101: The phoenix family
Chapter 101: The phoenix family
The confrontation of these two extreme masters surprised the citizens of South Sky City.
If they hadn't witnessed it, they wouldn't have believed it. Humans can actually obtain this kind of strength.
"Chu Tian, you should quickly leave!" Nangong Yi said to Chu Tian with a calm face, "The situation is really bad for you now! That old man Nangong Hai has evil intents and Ye Tianlang wants to get even with you!"
Go?
Where would he go?
Chu Tian wasn't even in the Awakened Soul Realm, how could he possibly escape from the palms of these two people? Since he couldn't leave, why would he try!
"Humph, relax City Lord. I am not that easy to deal with!"
Nangong Yi never thought that the situation would turn into this.
The Central State Four Young Masters, each one was no small deal. In the Four Great Families, they were all people with the most outstanding talent. They were people that were trained with the entire power of the families and had resources worth trillions invested in them. They were characters that had been specially trained.
Regardless of strength, power, or influence, they were all at the top of Central State!
How could Chu Tian compete?
Let alone the fact there was a Nangong Hai!
At this moment, when Nangong Hai understood Ye Tianlang's identity, he revealed a shocked expression, "I never would have thought that the Central State Ye Family would send out this kind of powerful person!"
It seemed like Ye Tianlang was weightless as he floated in the sky. He slowly landed on the ground and a moonlight white robe fluttered behind him giving off an aloof feel. In his wolf like eyes, there flashed a strange glow, "Elder Nangong Hai truly is an expert of the Nangong Family. Junior is full of admiration!"
Nangong Hai mind clearly understood.
Ye Tianlang was already giving him face.
Although Nangong Hai's cultivation base was slightly higher than Ye Tianlang's, his source spirit and talent was far off. If they really continued to fight, Nangong Hai wouldn't last more than fifty moves.
If he was defeated in front of this crowd, what face would he have left?
Nangong Hai knit his brows and asked, "Has Heavenly Wolf Young Master specially come to South Sky City just to compete with me?"
Ye Tianlang's lips rose into a monstrous smile, "I came here to discuss an alliance between the Ye and Nangong Families. The Ye Family is willing to support the Nangong Family!"
Nangong Hai's heart skipped a beat.
Ye Tianlang was a genius!
The Ye Family was a mercenary family with countless experts. If they could be on the same side as the Nangong Family, this would be a very good thing for the Nangong Family. If Nangong Hai came to Central State and accomplished this kind of good deed, wouldn't it be a large merit to the family?
"The Ye Family only has one condition."
"What condition?"
Ye Tianlang's eyes searched through the crowd, "There is a little brat here called Chu Tian. He has harmed one of the elders of my Ye Family, then he wasted seven Ye Family experts, bringing shame upon the Ye Family. He is incompatible with us like fire and water. Elder wouldn't hope for the alliance between our families to be ruined by this little character, right?"
Nangong Hai laughed, "Of course I do big things. A trivial little brat, I can certainly give him to you to punish. But this person still has some use to me so I hope you can let him live and let me take him back."
Ye Tianlang brows wrinkled, "I've already arrived! He must die!"
"Young Master Ye, please relax." Nangong Hai solemnly vowed, "You can completely waste him and never let him rise up again. Then let me take care of him from now one. Everyday he will suffer a fate worse than death. This way works too!"
"Alright!" Ye Tianlang thought that this was fine, "Then let me first break his four limbs and then break every bone in his body, then he'll never stand again. I'll let him become a useless person forever!"
"Chu Tian is right there." Nangong Hai didn't mind, "Do as you wish!"
"You definitely can't!"
Nangong Hai coldly stared at Nangong Yi who had appeared, "The Ye Family is famous in Central State. Is this single person more important than the support of the Central State Ye Family?"
"Stupid!" Nangong Yi angrily waited for Nangong Hai. He shouted out angrily, "Gravel can be found everywhere, how could it compete with a divine gem! So long as I stand today, I will not allow this matter to happen!"
Nangong Hai!
He was a huge idiot!
Did he not know that his actions had the possibility to make Chu Tian hate the Nangong Family? This was a seed that could lead to the Nangong Family's destruction!
Chu Tian was definitely capable of destroying the entire family!
He definitely could!
The Volcano Source Spirit was released.
Nangong Hai was enraged, "Nangong Yi, putting no one in your eyes, going against your elders, do you want to break the family rules? Since it's like this, this old man will teach you a lesson on behalf of the family!"
"Please appease your anger Elder Nangong!" Ye Tianlang stepped forward in the empty courtyard as he released the wild Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf, "I've long heard of the might of the Nangong Family's Nangong Yi and his Volcano Source Spirit which has infinite might. I've never had a chance to compete with him, so why not today? How about I have a proper match with Mayor Nangong?"
Nangong Yi had continued to protect Chu Tian.
This could be considered an insult to the Ye Family!
Ye Tianlang wanted to take this chance to viciously teach Nangong Yi a lesson.
To let this fellow know that on the Central State territory, who had the real power!
Nangong Hai knew what Ye Tianlang was thinking, "This old man will not make a move, I'll have to trouble Heavenly Wolf Young Master!"
Nangong Yi had a desire to crack his head.
This stubborn of man!
He was truly too hateful!
The situation was very bad. With Ye Tianlang and Nangong Hai, both of them were experts of the 4th Awakened Soul Layer. Nangong Yi only had a trivial 3rd Awakened Soul Layer Void Soul strength.
There was a very large gap between the 3rd and 4th Awakened Soul Layer!
With just Nangong Yi's strength, he couldn't even beat one of them. Could he keep Chu Tian safe from two Illustrious Soul experts?
"Is Mayor Nangong prepared?"
Nangong Yi revealed a cautious expression.
"Monster Wolf Transformation! Enter into my body!"
Ye Tianlang gave a long cry and the Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf Source spirit broke down into little traces of black flames. Just like an armour, it was evenly distributed across Ye Tianlang's body.
Man and wolf as one!
Spirit and body as one!
Ye Tianlang had turned into a being that was half man, half wolf. That pair of monstrous eyes had now turned more monstrous and green in colour.
"This is the Central State Ye Family's inherited cultivation technique, «Monster Wolf Transformation»?"
Whether it was the Chu Family's «Soul Sword Secret Art», or the Ye Family's «Monster Wolf Transformation», or even the Nangong Family's «Burning the Heaven Art», all of them were cultivation techniques for their family members to inherit. Not only was it easier to practice, it was also perfectly compatible to their source spirit, letting them display an even stronger battle strength.
Ye Tianlang was covered in a vicious qi, just like an ancient demonic wolf awakening. With its playful predator eyes, it stared at the prey in front of it.
Nangong Yi?
What a joke!
Ye Tianlang rushed forward like a shadow as his spirit energy was concentrated on the wolf claw on his right hand. The black claw glow hit the wall and it left behind five deep marks. It ran through the other side of the wall. They carried an imposing aura as they shot towards Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi gathered his hands together.
"Volcanic Shield!"
It was as if the volcano had been restrained for ten thousand years, like rivers bursting forth, the power surged out. It condense into a giant and incomparable barrier.
Hong!
The black claw glow slammed against the barrier, but it didn't reach Nangong Yi behind it. Nangong Yi took this opportunity and shot a burning hot fist at Ye Tianlang.
Ye Tianlang was a little startled but his left hand also shot out!
The fists of the two collided!
Half of the street's windows were shattered by the vicious force, instantly releasing a terrifying wind. Dust was blown everywhere and many weak willed people fainted on the spot.
Ye Tianlang was pushed back several steps.
Blood began to flow from the corners of Nangong Yi's mouth.
The Volcano Source Spirit was very powerful!
Although it was not a God Level Source Spirit, it was still very powerful. Because of the Volcano Source Spirit, Nangong Yi had two-three times the spirit energy of normal cultivators at the same level.
Because Nangong Yi had the Volcano Source Spirit, although he was in the peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, he could still go above the 3rd layer and kill Illustrious Soul experts!
This Nangong Yi was very strong!
It was a pity that he was born in the wrong family, the Nangong Family had too many talents. If he was born in one the Central State's four families, he would have obtained the same attention that the Central State Four Young Masters had received.
The Volcano Source Spirit was strong, but it had a very obvious weak point.
The Volcano Source Spirit had strong destructive might and at the same time had strong spirit energy...But, the volcano could not keep erupting!
The shield that Nangong Yi released, it was enough to block Ye Tianlang's full power attack.
But the attack that followed, its strength was much weaker. Ye Tianlang's hurried attack was enough to deflect it!
Only when the Volcano Source Spirit erupts, then Nangong Yi's battle strength would increase several times. Once the source spirit was calm and time passed, Nangong Yi's power would reduce by quite a bit. He would be on the same level as an ordinary 3rd Awakened Soul Layer expert!
"Mayor Nangong truly has skills!"
"Now try this move!"
"Heavenly Wolf's Raid!"
The Dragon Winged Demonic Flame Wolf Source Spirit rose out of Ye Tianlang's body and unexpectedly turned into four tiny wolves!
Each wolf was like a black shadow the naked eye couldn't see. They quickly ran up to Nangong Yi as fast as lightning.
Peng!
Nangong Yi suffered an attack from behind!
Chi!
Nangong Yi was slashed on the chest by a claw!
In several seconds, he was attacked four-five times. Then the four wolves rushed at the same time, biting at different places. Nangong Yi had no choice, he could only release the volcano's spirit energy. He heavily slapped the ground – "Burning Heaven Earth Cracking Palm!"
The volcano spirit energy erupted!
The erupting volcano spirit energy rushed forward like ten thousand horses. Its might swept across the street as the floor in a ten meter radius began to crack apart. The spirit energy of the Volcano Source Spirit contained high temperatures as it turned the rock into magma!
Nangong Yi had just used his strength.
This was a good opportunity!
Ye Tianlang fused with his source spirit and turned back into a wolf man, then he launched a dozen attacks from all directions onto Nangong Yi's body. The last palm slammed onto Nangong Yi's back and knocked him into a thick wall, completely destroying the wall.
Nangong Hai was not just calm, rather he was taking pleasure from the suffering.
He almost seemed happy to watch Nangong Yi being hit!
The difference in strength was very clear!
Nangong Yi angrily shouted as he cracked the stone and jumped out from the rubble. His Mayor robe had been ruined, his hair was dishevelled, and his face was covered in blood. It was clear he had suffered serious losses.
His eyes were still filled with the intent to fight!
Nangong Yi still believed!
This fight could not be lost!
Chu Tian's potential and Chu Tian's danger. Nangong Yi had a deep feeling!
The Nangong Family wouldn't be able to obtain this rare talent, but they couldn't becomes enemies with him. Otherwise in a few years, the family that had lasted for thousand years, the family that had helped this country and developed for hundreds of years, this noble blooded large family, would face the possibility of extermination!
This wasn't just to scare people!
Chu Tian had the ability to achieve this!
"You truly are tenacious!"
Ye Tianlang blinked forward and his foot slammed onto Nangong Yi's chest. Nangong Yi flew through the air while spitting out blood. Even his source spirit was scattered by the attack. He fell onto the ground and didn't get back up.
Ye Tianlang did show mercy. With Nangong Yi's injuries, he would require two-three months in bed and even then it would be hard to recover.
"Mayor Nangong Yi's Volcano Source Spirit, it seems to be mediocre!"
"It truly is too disappointing!"
Ye Tianlang had humiliated the Mayor in front of the South Sky City citizens and Nangong Hai!
The citizens had faces of anger.
This Ye Tianlang was too excessive!
Nangong Yi was a good Mayor and was very popular in South Sky City. He had not only insulted Nangong Yi, he had also insulted South Sky City!
"Mayor!"
"You Ye Family people have gone to far!"
Ye Tianlang waved his hand, "Scram!"
These people were cut down like wheat as they all fell down instantly. They spat out blood and it was clear they suffered heavy injuries.
It's over!
It's all over!
This was clearly someone with the ability to change the world. This strong Southern Cloud Country youth, was he about to be killed just like this?
At this time, several bell sounds clearly rang out in everyone's ears.
Ding, dang!
Ding, dang!
Everyone couldn't help feeling a little absent minded.
Chu Tian walked out of the crowd and his eyes fell upon Ye Tianlang. Then they swept across Nangong Hai and finally resting on Nangong Yi. He revealed a very dark smile.
"The Nangong Family treats the phoenix as their family token. You brag about being the successor of the phoenix, but do you truly understand its essence?" Chu Tian seemed like he was talking to himself. Although his words seemed light, they were quite enlightening.
What did these words mean?
"The Nangong Family has taken the phoenix as their token, so I wish to warn the future generation to be as prideful as the phoenix. Even if you meet a disaster, even if you meet a cruel fate, always revive from the flames! As long as its faith does not die, the phoenix will never be extinguished! This is the true essence of the phoenix!"
Nangong Yi slightly trembled.
Chu Tian's gaze landed on Nangong Yi, "You still haven't discovered it yet? You have over a thousand times more potential than that dog shit Nangong Hai! When you jumped out to fight without any fear of death against stronger opponents, you have already reached your bottleneck. Now try to break through!"
Is that so?
Why have I not felt it!
"I've come to give you a hand!"
Chu Tian began to recite a profound and complex heart chant – it was fragments of the Great Nirvana Scripture!
Nangong Yi had remained at the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer for quite a while. Actually, he was just like Yun Yao where he had the possibility to break through at any time. As long as he had the correct guidance, it was inevitable that he would break through!
From the minute Nangong Yi decided to make a move.
Chu Tian had decided to give him a helping hand!
Ye Tianlang felt that this was strange, "Who is he?"
Nangong Hai gave a cold smile and said, "Heavenly Wolf Young Master came to South Sky City to find Chu Tian. Now that he is standing in front of you, you actually can't recognize him?"
This was Chu Tian?
He truly did have a kind of peerless style!
Ye Tianlang's eyes became cold as he said, "You've seen me and yet still dare stand in front of me. You truly do have courage, but it all ends here!" Not to mention the fact it was impossible for Nangong Yi to break through, it wouldn't matter even if he did break through. He had already suffered heavy injuries. If he did have strength at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer, he couldn't stop him.
Moreover, he had Nangong Hai on his side.
Today, no one could protect Chu Tian!
Chapter 102: Eighteen trapped dragon array
Chapter 102: Eighteen trapped dragon array
Nangong Yi had fallen into an unprecedented condition. He was about to understand something, but he couldn't grasp onto how. But every word Chu Tian said was like heavenly thunder viciously slamming into his soul!
His originally exhausted qi, it slowly recovered.
Moreover, it became even stronger!
Nangong Hai's face fell!
Could there be a monstrous talent in this world that could allow a person to breakthrough with just a few words?
Ye Tianlang was also shocked. This was simply a miracle.
Nangong Yi's aura became stronger, like a giant volcano awakening. He slowly stood up and said word by word, "Nangong Hai, you drew in a small clan for small benefits. You tried killing a heroic youth, attack members of the same family, and completely disregarded the dignity of the family. This behaviour is not suited for being a successor of the phoenix!"
Nangong Yi's aura continued to grow even stronger, as if it was multiplying endlessly!
A strong wave of heat burst forward. This strong aura forced Nangong Hai back half a step.
At this minute!
Nangong Yi was just like the incarnation of a terrifying volcano!
This hell fire seemed to have been brewing for millions of years. Once it exploded, heaven and earth would be extinguished and all living things would be extinct!
"Roar!"
Nangong Yi gave a roar into the sky.
The red flames shot into the sky and burst through the clouds. It destroyed the layer of cloud above and this wild strength covered everything in a ten mile radius. Everything was currently wildly shaking.
Potential!
This was potential!
Nangong Yi was just like Nangong Hai and Ye Tianlang. Even without releasing his source spirit, he could still release this kind of strong aura to crush his enemies...This was the sign of being in the Illustrious Soul Realm!
This indicated that Nangong Yi had broken through the Awakened Soul Void Soul Realm into the Awakened Soul Illustrious Soul Realm in this instant. He was already a strong 4th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator!
From this moment on!
Nangong Yi was no longer just a senior deacon of the Nangong Family. He already had the qualification to become an Elder and was equal to Nangong Hai's status!
Nangong Hai's face filled with amazement, "Unexpectedly…..He unexpectedly broke through!"
Nangong Yi gave a few loud laughs and turned his head to cup his hands at Chu Tian, "This favour, I will not forget!"
Chu Tian revealed a faint smile, "Your body was already at the breakthrough point. The little help that I gave, it is not worth mentioning!"
The wild beast aura once again burst out.
"So what if you broke through?" Ye Tianlang wildly roared, "Die!"
With an instant slight step.
A fist shot out!
Nangong Yi moved sideways slightly and with a slight difference, he dodge this one fist. This made Ye Tianlang's pupil shrink, "Hyperfocus?"
That's right!
Nangong Yi did not just simply breakthrough, he had also understood hyperfocus!
"Scram!"
Nangong Yi roared as the volcanic strength erupted forth and Ye Tianlang was sent flying. After soaring for several meters, he finally dispelled the strength and slowly fell back onto the ground.
At this time, Nangong Yi gripped both his fists and his body erupted with flames. Once he used his peak spirit energy and once he reached the 4th Awakened Soul Layer, his strength was now at the point where he could even compete with 5th Awakened Soul Layer Experts!
This was the strength of the Volcano Source Spirit!
"Didn't Heavenly Wolf Young Master wish to test the might of my Volcano Source Spirit?" Nangong Yi stared at Ye Tianlang with a cold smile, "Today, I'll let you test it as much as you want!"
Ye Tianlang's monstrous complexion couldn't remain tranquil, "With the peak power of the Volcano Source Spirit, a single attack is enough to kill a 5th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator! We need to work together!"
Nangong Hai nodded his head, "Alright!"
Nangong Yi released his Volcano Source Spirit and shot a fist out. It shot at the two of them and the mighty power spewed forward. Ye Tianlang and Nangong Hai worked together to block it.
Half the houses on the street were destroyed!
All the glass in ten li shattered!
It was just like a terrifying explosion!
Nangong Hai's and Ye Tianlang's clothes had been burned black and their faces were covered in ashes. They seemed to be in quite a difficult situation. But the one good thing was, they had blocked Nangong Yi's attack.
Nangong Yi's face was white and his body stumbled a bit. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Not good!
His injuries were too serious!
Add in the fact he had just broken through and his cultivation wasn't stable. Under this kind of condition, he had no way to continue fighting.
Nangong Hai had a face of envy. Nangong Yi had been born into the Nangong Family branch family. He did not have many resources since he was young, but he had given birth to this strong Volcano Source Spirit. Moreover, he had gave birth to a daughter that had a God Level Source Spirit.
Because this father and daughter pair had too much potential, they would be in harm's way if they stayed in Imperial City. So, the Nangong Family had arranged for Nangong Yi to become a small city's Mayor.
Who would have thought that in this area barren in resources.
Nangong Yi would still grow stronger!
He was only thirty nine years old!
He was already an Illustrious Soul Realm expert!
Chu Tian clapped his hands and walked over indifferently. He saw that Nangong Yi was exhausted and no longer able to fight, "Alright, alright. It's fine if you fight up to this point."
"This matter happened because of me, so I should be the one to take care of it. Moreover, you've had your time in the limelight, now it is my turn to perform." Chu Tian did not seemed to be panicked at all. His bright as stars eyes stared at Ye Tianlang, "This fellow, I'll deal with him!"
What?
Chu Tian wanted to personally make a move?
A cold glow flashed in Ye Tianlang's monstrous eyes, "People keep saying that you are mysterious and originally I didn't think so either, but it seems like it's true! The Chu Family is truly blind, even treating you like a bastard, but...it is all over. No matter what, today I cannot let you leave alive!"
Chu Tian had to die!
He couldn't even have a single breath remaining!
Otherwise, even if he was wasted, he would still be a threat to the Ye Family!
Chu Tian walked forward, "A bunch of petty people like you actually want to get rid of me?"
Nangong Yi stared and asked, "Are you serious?"
Chu Tian nodded and said, "Get back and watch me!"
Where did Chu Tian get his confidence?
Other than Nangong Yi, Ye Tianlang didn't care about anyone else here!
Actually, even if it was Nangong Yi, Ye Tianlang wasn't sure to lose. He was a super class talent!
"You aren't even in the Awakened Soul Realm, killing you will be easy!"
"This point, I approve!" Chu Tian lightly snapped, "But, I want to introduce my bodyguards to you first. Come and greet Young Master Ye."
The eighteen black robed people slowly walked out.
Ye Tianlang relied on his wolf like intuition. He could feel that among these eighteen people, the person with the lowest cultivation was at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer.
How did Chu Tian have this many experts by his side?
This was completely illogical!
Ye Tianlang didn't even spare them a glance, "What a joke!" You think you can win with more people? You truly are too innocent! Not to mention a trivial eighteen, even with thirty eight people you still can't beat me!"
"Try it then!"
Chu Tian gently ringed his bell.
Those eighteen corpse soldiers that didn't move and stood like sculptures, seemed to suddenly awaken from their sleep and jumped up together. Just like eighteen shadows, they distributed themselves around Ye Tianlang.
"En?"
Ye Tianlang gave a low hum and turned into a wolf man. He stepped off the ground and shot forward. His wolf claws ignored the corpse soldiers and he directly attacked Chu Tian!
However, as soon as Ye Tianlang moved.
The eighteen corpses all shot corpse poison at Ye Tianlang from all around him.
Ye Tianlang's heart turned cold, he had no choice but to dodge the Yin Corpses' attacks!
The eighteen Yin Corpses drew back upon contact, distributing themselves all around Ye Tianlang. Moving in sync with each other, each one taking care of the others. It seemed like in this chaotic movement, there seemed to be a profound meaning.
What was happening?
Ye Tianlang felt a bit of danger!
The aura of the mysterious eighteen black robed people began to fuse together. The way they moved and how they moved was very strange, it was as if they were moving a huge body, just like a giant spirit. Ye Tianlang was being suppressed in the center of the array, making it hard for him to show his full strength.
Chu Tian saw Ye Tianlang's solemn expression and immediately gave a taunting laugh, "Why aren't you making a move! I will just stand here, come and kill me!"
Eighteen Trapped Dragons Array!
This was a mysterious array that could defend and attack.
It would take at least eighteen Awakened Soul Cultivators to set up!
This kind of array was very difficult to practice. It required all eighteen people to be in sync and required a lot of practice. It was a kind of array powerful bodyguards trained in to allow them to protect their masters.
However, Chu Tian had the Soul Controlling Bell so he could control the corpse soldiers as he wished. These eighteen corpse soldiers did not have any self awareness and were like eighteen chess pieces in Chu Tian's hands. They could move at will and could form any battle arrays.
Dang, dang, dang, dang!
A stream of crisp bell sounds rang out.
The eighteen black figures began to move at high speeds, even leaving behind strange illusory figures. This made Ye Tianlang feel a bit absent minded, unsure of how to break through this array.
A good opportunity!
Chu Tian grasped this opportunity.
He immediately controlled the eighteen corpse soldiers and they rushed forward in groups of two. The corpse poison collected together and formed a giant ball of corpse poison which shot at Ye Tianlang.
"Roar!"
Ye Tianlang loudly roared with the intention to break out, but then he saw a pair of palms in front of him.
"Little ants! Scram!"
Ye Tianlang shot out with both palms and the four palms met. With a hong sound, the cruel poison palm power was like an irresistible force as it made his body feel paralyzed and sent him flying.
Ye Tianlang showed an incredibly shocked expression.
Could 2nd and 3rd layer fellows send him flying like this?
With a single corpse soldier, it would be impossible to match palms with Ye Tianlang. That attack just now was several blows gathered in one attack and then all the force was collected together. It was then sent to the foremost Ying Corpse and then erupted forward.
Ye Tianlang did not know the circumstances and charged forward. It would be weird if he wasn't heavily injured!
Ye Tianlang didn't even have time to catch his breath before the corpse soldiers appeared in front of him. Their attacks were like waves crashing forth, one after the other without stop, continuously coming. Ye Tianlang had too many problems to deal with, he couldn't help showing a face of distress.
"Heavenly Wolf Young Master? Such a good reputation! However, you aren't worth having it! The way you look now, is there any difference between you and a dying dog?" Chu Tian was disturbing him with the Soul Controlling Bell and stirring him up with his words, "From what I can see, you should just change your name to Stray Dog Young Master!"
How could Ye Tianlang accept this kind of insult?
Attacking his heart with anger.
Pu!
A large mouthful of black blood came out!
This isn't good, he had been poisoned!
Ye Tianlang couldn't comprehend the current situation, why had things turned out this way? With his strength, sweeping through South Sky City and capturing Chu Tian, shouldn't this have been something easy to do?
Right now, not only did he not capture Chu Tian, he was being stomped on by him. He had already suffered heavy injuries and could be defeated at any moment!
The people of South Sky City looked on dumbfoundedly!
Was this really happening?
Was this really one of the Central State Four Young Masters?
In the younger generation of the Central State area, he was one of the most dazzling young talents. Arriving in a peerlessly elegant style on his golden peng, singlehandedly arriving in South Sky City and defeating the Mayor, and no one could fight back against him.
Everyone thought that once the Heavenly Wolf Young Master personally arrived, in front of this overwhelming might, Chu Tian would be doomed.
No one could have thought.
Chu Tian would be this fearless. Even if Nangong Yi hadn't broken through, he still had the ability to fight the Heavenly Wolf Young Master!
Now, it all seemed like an overstatement and this Heavenly Wolf Young Master was being suppressed like this. He was being played around with these eighteen black robed people, making him look like a stray dog!
"You villain!"
"Using numbers to bully someone, what skills is this?"
Using numbers to bully someone?
Why not mention the things that your Ye Family has done.
You little brat came here to kill me, then don't mention going back with a complete body!
It's decided!
Today!
Chu Tian decided to make a move. He would teach a fierce lesson to the Ye Family and the other Central State powers.
He would let them clearly understand.
It's fine to annoy the King of Hell!
It isn't fine to annoy Chu Tian!
Chapter 103: Annoy the King of Hell, do not annoy Chu Tian
Chapter 103: Annoy the King of Hell, do not annoy Chu Tian
The eighteen corpse soldiers, their figures were like shadows. Ever changing, a thousand changes happened each time. With their powers gathered together, even if Ye Tianlang had an overwhelming strength, he still wouldn't be able to find a way to break out. Currently, he was being trapped alive in between them!
Runes began to glow on the Yin Corpses' bodies and they released a large amount of corpse poison at the same time, condensing into a giant poison ball. The eighteen balls of poisons condensed into one and broke apart, turning into a pillar of poison which shot at Ye Tianlang.
A single strike condensing the poisons of eighteen Yin Corpses!
Ye Tianlang's palms shot out to meet it, but the terrifying power forced him back several meters. The large amount of corpse poison seeped into his body through his pores and Ye Tianlang felt his body going numb.
"Despicable!"
"This old man will help you!"
Nangong Hai wanted to make a move, but the power of the volcano brewed from his feet and instantly locked Nangong Hai in place.
Nangong Yi coldly stared at him, "If you move forward another half step, then don't blame me for forgetting our family ties!"
Nangong Hai's face turned pale, but he also didn't dare rashly make a move.
Under the corpse soldiers' siege, Ye Tianlang's hair was dishevelled and his clothes had been torn. He had long been infected with the corpse poison and was quite heavily poisoned. He didn't seem to be able to keep this up for long.
He had no other way!
He had underestimated Chu Tian's strength!
But it didn't matter, he would just let this brat live for two days. Once he brought the Ye Family's experts with him, he would see if he still dared to act this rampant!
"You just wait for me!"
"This Young Master will spare your life today!"
"But, don't think that things are finished like this!"
Ye Tianlang angrily let his strength erupt and pushed back the surrounding corpse soldiers, then he jumped onto the giant golden peng. The giant peng had already felt its master's summon so it was waiting above South Sky City. It was circling high above, prepared to help its master.
This vicious beast like man had actually suffered a loss against Chu Tian?
Once the people of the city saw this, they all felt excitement!
Central States Four Young Masters?
The most dazzling four pearls of the Central State!
It seemed like they were only mediocre today!
The corners of Chu Tian's mouth raised into a taunting smile.
Escape? You think you can escape?!
Chu Tian seemed to have predicted every one of Ye Tianlang's moves. Right as Ye Tianlang was about to land on the giant peng's back, two corpse soldiers suddenly jumped up. They each grabbed one of Ye Tianlang's legs and dragged him down.
Ye Tianlang hadn't even landed before another two corpse soldiers came from his sides and grabbed onto his hands. All four of his limbs had been trapped.
While these four corpse soldiers were in the air, a foot fell down on Ye Tianlang from above.
"No!"
Ye Tianlang was kicked down from the air and the several meters of paved stone where he landed all collapsed to form a giant hole. This one strike was not light. Even if it were a 4th Awakened Soul Layer expert, they would still be heavily injured.
"Want to come and go as you please?" Chu Tian coldly said, "Do you think South Sky City is your Ye Family's latrine? Since you came here to kill me this openly, then you should first understand the consequences of trying to kill me."
The giant peng gave a large roar and flew into the sky in preparation to leave.
Chu Tian lifted his head to look at it, "This large bird that followed you isn't really anything special. So I'll make it stay here for me!"
The corpse soldiers soared up to the golden peng to attack it. After a few hits, the golden peng gave a pitiful cry and fell down on the city, destroying several houses. It had already stopped breathing!
Dammit!
This large peng was a treasured beast!
It had not fully grown yet. Otherwise it would at least be at the Illustrious Soul Realm!
The Ye Family had exhausted countless methods to make it become a mount for the next head. It was a guardian beast in training.
Ye Tianlang had a desire to kill, "You dare injure my mount!"
"Injure your mount?" Chu Tian arrived in front of Ye Tianlang and stepped on his face, "I think you should be more worried about yourself!"
"You..."
Before he could finish speaking.
The Yin Corpses held onto Ye Tianlang's hands and feet while the other Yin Corpses approached. Their poison palms fell onto Ye Tianlang's body, directly sending the corpse poison into Ye Tianlang!
"No! NO!" Ye Tianlang could feel the corrosion of the corpse poison, he couldn't use any strength at all, "I am the successor of the Ye Family. If you dare touch a hair on me, the Ye Family will chase you to the ends of the earth!"
Chu Tian gave an emotionless look.
He had finally felt his heart shiver.
Fear!
He was finally afraid!
He already understood.
He had annoyed a lunatic.
These kinds of threats would not have any use. Rather, it would just make things worse for himself.
He was the dignified Heavenly Wolf Young Master. Endless grace and talent, a terrifying character. He was the successor to the Ye Family's mercenaries and one day he would be the leader of tens of thousands of mercenaries!
He was the dignified Heavenly Wolf Young Master. Unhindered in the Central State, sweeping away all obstacles, even elder level characters. There was only Chu Xinghe and Luo Xianglong that could be considered his match.
He was the exalted Heavenly Wolf Young Master. Respected and awed by tens of thousands of people. Wherever he went, he would receive the highest courtesy and respect. No matter what he did, no one dared to say a thing!
Now!
A single Chu Tian coming from who knows where. His several subordinates had beaten him!
"Enough! Let him go!" Nangong Hai had a dark expression, "Do you think you can withstand the Ye Family's anger?"
"If I let him go now, the Ye Family will give up retaliating? What a joke! If you keep talking that much, I'll beat you up too. I find you very unpleasing to the eye!"
"You..."
Nangong Hai stepped back two steps in fear.
If Chu Tian wanted to move against him, could he stop him?
He saw the fate of Ye Tianlang and couldn't help giving up all the thoughts he had in his head.
"Coward, it would be a waste to hit you!" Chu Tian spat once and then gently snapped. The corpse soldiers picked up the paralyzed Ye Tianlang, "If the Ye Family want to retaliate, then let them come! This stray dog young master, Father will take care of you!"
Ye Tianlang shouted in panic, "What are you planning to do? The Ye Family's cavalry will trample South Sky City! You won't be the only one to die! The people by your side, even the whole city will die with you!"
Chu Tian slapped him.
Ye Tianlang's face swelled up.
His eyes turned bloodshot. This embarrassment, this incomparable embarrassment. He had not been slapped in his entire life. Even Chu Xinghe didn't dare treat him like this and yet Chu Tian still dared to act this way!
"Stray dog young master, please relax. I won't kill you! You still have some use!" Chu Tian waved his hand, "Come, I'll take you to the market place!"
What kind of prestige and power did the Heavenly Wolf Young Master have?
This was a talent that the Ye Family had put all their power and resources into his training. He was the successor of the family!
Not only had he been captured alive by Chu Tian, he was now being paraded through the street by Chu Tian. If word of this matter got out, not only would the Heavenly Wolf Young Master's reputation go to waste, it would also bring shame to the entire Ye Family!
Had Chu Tian thought of the consequences?
Of course he didn't think about them!
Why would he be afraid? Based on everything Chu Tian had done, the Ye Family already wouldn't let him go. Since they already had a death grudge, it doesn't matter if there was a little more hate.
The Heavenly Wolf Young Master had already lost all of his strength. His hair was dishevelled and he was extremely embarrassed. He had a strong desire to kill as he continued to scream.
"Is your self esteem that strong?"
"Are you that confident in your own strength?"
"Today I'll let you have a taste of my strength!"
Chu Tian tied the Ye Tianlang onto a pole and had several people take out the large speakers. He personally took the Ye Tianlang through the streets as he fiercely denounced him.
Ye Tianlang's eighteen generations of ancestors were all cursed. From beginning to end without any repetition.
"People of the city!
"The Central State officials have gone too far!"
"There's nothing to fear from the Heavenly Wolf Young Master. I, Chu Tian guarantee it, there's no need to be afraid. If you have rotten eggs or broken tile, don't hide and come out to throw them!"
"Let the officials see! We common folk are not easily to bully! We can't be destroyed by them that easily!"
Chu Tian continued to instigate people, making the citizens' blood boil to the brim. There were actually some bold people who had come forward with rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes, preparing to throw them at Ye Tianlang.
Ye Tianlang was boiling with rage.
Wasn't he a proud and important person?
The people of Central State City would not dare to do this!
But what about now? These bumpkins actually dare to throw rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes at him!
These bumpkins seemed to have the guts all because of Chu Tian. It seemed like as long as Chu Tian was here, there would be no problems that couldn't be solved. This was only just the beginning. Once some people took the initiative to throw rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes, countless people immediately joined in.
Could you not follow them?
This was the Heavenly Wolf Young Master!
A single breath from him was enough to kill your entire families.
A single hair from him was more than a hundred times more important than the lives of your entire family!
This well feared Heavenly Wolf Young Master that had even beaten up the Mayor, was now unexpectedly being shamed by a bunch of random nobodies. Even if a person lived a full lifetime, how many chances would they get? If they didn't grasp them, then they would have lived in vain.
"Everyone let me through!"
A large butcher came out of the crowd as he ran at Ye Tianlang with a large bucket.
In that instant.
The body waste flew out and a foul stench filled the air!
The Heavenly Wolf Young Master almost fainted in disgust.
"This was saved for half a year by my family, now I'll give it all to you!" The butcher's face twitched as he wildly laughed, "Surnamed Ye, my son died to your group's hands in the past! Now that the tables have turned, it truly is the heaven's opening their eyes. The heaven's have opened their eyes!"
Then everyone became even more wild!
The entire street was jammed packed as rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes, vegetable rocks, and body waste all flew out.
Aren't you wild?
Don't you treat normal people's lives like they're worthless?
Don't you like trampling over the weak?
Now we'll let you learn what it feels like to have your pride trampled!
To put it simply.
The entire city had turned crazy!
Everyone had been infected by Chu Tian's style and their courage increased by several times. Some came for revenge, some came to have fun, they all rushed forward to be first in line.
Ye Tianlang's body stank. His body was completely covered in poop, urine, rotten eggs, and rotten tomatoes. His white gown had already be covered in countless smelly objects and he was about to faint!
The street patrol guards were the same.
Chu Tian handed Ye Tianlang to someone at the side, "Go, tie this fellow up to the city wall. I want everyone that passes through the city gate to have a look at this stray dog young master's heroic bearing!"
Ruthless!
Incredibly ruthless!
Annoy the King of Hell, do not annoy Brother Tian!
"Chu Tian, Chu Tian!" Xiong Tianyan ran in front of Chu Tian, "What do we do with the large bird Ye Tianlang left behind?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Chu Tian moistened his lips, "Come, drag this into the square for me and bring the good wine from the hotel. Miracle Commerce will be hosting a feast, letting everyone have some good meat and good wine! The expenses will be covered by Miracle Commerce! It will be my treat!"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
"Delightful! Enjoy yourself to your heart's content!"
Xiong Tianyan turned his head and loudly shouted, "Did you guys hear that? Chu Tian is treating everyone to meat and wine!"
"Long live Chu Tian!"
"Long live Chu Tian!"
"Long live Chu Tian!"
Everyone loudly called out.
Ye Tianlang saw this scene and his eyes blacked out as he fainted.
Chapter 104: Forcing one's soul awake
Chapter 104: Forcing one's soul awake
Chu Tian poked a sword into the large golden peng's neck as he drained its blood and plucked its feathers. He skinned and deboned as he chopped the large peng's body into several pieces.
Under Chu Tian's instructions, Zhang Liqing and the other symbol masters created a giant cooking source energy array in the South Sky City square. Large pieces of meat were skewered together and gave off a fragrant demon beast oil scent as they cooked on the array.
When the meat was roaster bright red with oil dripping from it, a fragrant smell filled the entire square. Everyone that caught a whiff of this smell couldn't hold back their saliva.
Level two demon beast meat!
Not only was it precious, it was very nourishing!
Everyone was awarded with a piece of barbequed meat. They added a bit of salt, pepper, and all kinds of other spices. Plates after plates were brought out so that everyone in the city could have a taste. Matched with a barrel of cold beer, it was truly a grand barbeque feast!
This was a demon beast worth tens of millions of gold coins!
It was a formidable beast with the potential to reach the Illustrious Soul Realm.
Chu Tian had treated like normal cattle and butchered it for a barbeque!
The large golden peng's meat contained a very strong energy. It helped make the body stronger and improved the physique, as well as helping increase one's cultivation.
Normal people wouldn't be able to have a single bite their whole lives.
Now it was free for everyone to eat as they pleased.
Where could anyone find this kind of great thing?
Of course, because the large golden peng's meat had such a strong energy, normal people only needed to eat a little piece for their bodies to turn hot and dry. They didn't dare eat anymore because normal Body Refinement Cultivators could not handle it.
A cooked large peng, right now everyone had the chance to have a taste!
Chu Tian was sitting on a piece of meatless bone. His left hand held a piece of meat, while his right hand held a large cup of wine.
Eating a lot and drinking a lot, how satisfying!
The small fox was holding a piece of meat weighing around several hundred jin. It was eating mouthful after mouthful with great interest. The meat that was in its stomach was probably over ten times the size of its body.
"I feel like this meat was cooked too long!"
"Was it?" Meng Yingying held a large skewer with five-six pieces of peng wing meat on it. Her cheeks were bulging as she chewed and said, "I think it's very tasty! It's much better than the level one demon beast meat in our restaurant!"
The little fox showed an expression of agreement.
Meng Yingying's greatest regret was the fact that she didn't get to personally witness Chu Tian take care of that stray dog young master!
When Meng Yingying had heard the news, the matter was already over. Chu Tian had tied up the stray dog young master and was parading him around the streets.
This was a very famous person!
Ye Tianlang was a very famous person in Central State. He had a vicious personality and was very overbearing. He had never suffered a loss and was the successor to the Ye Family!
A cultivator of this level.
A person with this kind of fame.
Meng Yingying didn't even dare imagine the consequences of provoking someone like him!
The Ye Family was a very prosperous family in Central State and their mercenaries were know to be very brutal. They celebrated small holidays by exterminating entire families. Ye Tianlang was the successor to this family, so naturally he inherited the family's style.
But, this idiot didn't keep his eyes open.
Was Chu Tian a normal person?
Could he kill Chu Tian alone?
The results were like this!
He deserved what he got!
Meng Yingying felt Chu Tian's way of venting was very satisfying!
Chu Tian didn't kill or waste Ye Tianlang. Rather, he ruthlessly stepped on him and shamed him with the cruelest method!
This was too exciting!
Even if Ye Tianlang could live through this, he would never be able to step out of this shadow cast on him!
What caused Meng Yingying to fill with admiration was that Chu Tian's straightforwardness, Chu Tian's recklessness, and Chu Tian's craziness had all affected the people of South Sky City!
Would normal people dare throw rotten eggs at Ye Tianlang? Would normal people dare to eat Ye Tianlang's mount? Even if they had a hundred times their normal amount of courage, they still wouldn't dare to do it! However, with Chu Tian's support, the situation was not the same!
At this moment, Meng Yingying's eyes swept across in front of her, seeing everyone chatting over cups of wine.
Everyone lifted their cups of wine high up to celebrate the large matter that happened today.
In fact, everyone had a grand ideal in their hearts.
Who doesn't want to brave the wind and waves?
Who doesn't want to ride off into the horizon?
Who was willing to be mediocre the rest of their lives?
These weak ideals had been ingrained through the ages, imprinted onto them from defeat after defeat. But now their worship, infatuation, and yearning all seemed to disappear into thin air.
Deep down in their hearts, there now existed a strong fence that defended them from the attacks of a cruel reality.
This was a fantasy paradise, an ideal kingdom to them. It was magnificent, absurd, strange, but still full of vitality. It was like a midnight dream that touched and hurt them.
These things would never be destroyed, but people wouldn't be able to move forward.
Did you lose the key to the door?
Or did you lose the courage to enter into that door?
In short, with Chu Tian's appearance, the people of South Sky City had seen him rise up step by step. It provoked the most primal desires of these people, their craziest hopes.
A small character had beaten up Ye Tianlang!
The weak can rise up and attack the strong!
How often would they see a scene like this in their lifetime? As long as they had blood in their veins, they couldn't help letting their blood boil in excitement.
The Ye Family would definitely come!
But regardless of what kind of wind or thunder came tomorrow, as long as they could drink their wine tonight, it would not have been in vain.
Meng Yingying's eyes were as tranquil as a lake as her face filled with a beautiful smile.
Chu Tian had shocked her once again!
He had shocked the entire South Sky City once again!
Meng Qingwu wasn't relaxed like everyone else.
Although she already knew that Chu Tian was this wild, she still thought that he was a little too wild today. This was clearly shaming the entire Ye Family!
The Ye Family would definitely wildly counter attack!
Was Chu Tian truly capable of dealing with them?
Meng Qingwu wanted to find a way to mediate, but knew it was already impossible. Even if the Nangong Family exerted pressure on them this time, the Ye Family wouldn't just accept it and endure. Otherwise, how could they remain in Central State?
"Young miss, stop making that sour expression!" Chu Tian casually walked over, "Right now is the time to be happy!"
Meng Qingwu stared at him, "Of course you're happy! Have you even thought of how to deal with Ye Wudao's anger?"
He liked to court disasters.
It would always become the talk of the town!
"Who is Ye Wudao?" Chu Tian was slightly stunned, then he beckoned with his hand, "Forget it, who cares who he is. Yingying, come over."
Meng Yingying ran over. Because she had eaten the demon beast meat, her face was red, her body was warm, and it was filled with energy.
Chu Tian nodded his head.
She would have an advantage breaking through like this!
Chu Tian's little fox that hadn't eaten enough came back. He pulled out two white jade pill bottles from his chest and gave Yingying and young miss one each.
In the translucent white jade bottle, there was a purple pill.
Even though it was inside the bottle, Meng Qingwu could still feel the strength the pill contained!
"This is an Awakened Soul Pill." Chu Tian smile slowly faded as his expression turned serious, "I just found Xiong Tianyan and Zhang Liqing and the three of us refined it together. Everyone will get one and we will each have only one opportunity!"
Meng Qingwu's body shook.
They refined it this fast?
Meng Yingying curiously asked, "Can this pill turn us into Awakened Soul Cultivators?"
"The Awakened Soul Pill originally is the best pill for breaking through the Refined Body Realm bottleneck. With my unique pill formula, as long as a peak 9th Body Refinement Layer cultivator uses it, there is an 80% chance of breaking through." Chu Tian told the two of them, "But, considering that you just broke through to the peak 9th Body Refinement Realm, I've refined a few more pills for you guys. This way your chances rise to above 90%."
Such a large probability!
It was truly hard for people to imagine!
If one had extra Awakened Soul Pills, a single pill could be auctioned for around fifty eight million gold coins!
"We shouldn't wait! Let's begin now!"
"We have to breakthrough immediately!"
Once the Ye Family found out about what happened in South Sky City, they would charge over like a mad dog. If Chu Tian could break through to the Awakened Soul Realm, he would at least have more total spirit energy.
If the three of them could obtain the strength of an Awakened Soul Cultivator, no matter how bad the situation, they would at least be able to defend themselves.
So they had to breakthrough before the Ye Family members arrived!
The three of them all closed up.
Before Chu Tian entered the room, he placed the little fox at the door. He took out a corpse core for it and patted its head, "This time it's very important, don't let anyone disturb me."
The little fox used its claws to signal that there was no problem.
It used its claws to draw a few marks at the entrance.
A small array was formed.
"This little fellow actually had some skills!"
The little fox gave an uncaring expression as it impatiently waved its claw. You should hurry up, don't waste this fox's time.
This fellow really deserved to be punched!
Chu Tian sat on the floor of the room as he entered into the best training condition. He let his mind empty completely.
The purple Awakened Soul Pill was just like a beautiful gem. The surface was covered in a pattern which projected a strong might from the inside of the Awakened Soul Pill.
He had finally arrived at this step!
Two whole months!
It was long enough!
But this small country was barren so this wasn't even considered slow.
Chu Tian believed that since he had already stood at the peak, then he would be able to return to the peak. He would even be able to break through the limit and enter into a whole new magnificent world!
An Awakened Soul Cultivator was a very important person in South Sky City.
If the Body Refinement Realm was considered the stage of building a base, then the Awakened Soul Realm could be considered the threshold of cultivation. The Awakened Soul Realm could be considered the true beginning of a cultivator.
This was merely crossing the threshold!
The Ye Family would definitely be back soon and this time they would bring all their power.
To be honest, Chu Tian didn't have that much confidence in defending against the Ye Family's counterattack. Even if he held Ye Tianlang hostage, he would only be able to stall a bit.
But Chu Tian did not regret anything.
Even if everything could happen again, Chu Tian would still make the same decisions. He would beat Ye Feng, destroy the Han Family, kill Ye Han, kill Ye Xiong, and beat Ye Tianlang!
Isn't it only a small Ye Family?
If they had the skills, then let them come!
Chu Tian swallowed the Awakened Soul Pill and his eyes closed. Spirit energy erupted from his body. It was just like a white flame as it swirled around him and covered his body. A light pressure appeared from above his head and seemed to want to shoot into the clouds.
South Sky City's night sky was covered in an ancient and powerful aura.
It was like an ancient demonic god that had just awakened from a long slumber.
Chapter 105: Ten thousand cavalry pressuring the city
Dark clouds filled the sky and thunder exploded out. Wild winds blew across the land, creating an awful atmosphere.
A long black line appeared in the endless horizon and murderous intent filled the air. It overwhelmed the storm and even the lightning in the sky.
The same Giant Tempest Wolf mounts.
The same excellent iron armour!
The same long sword and spear. The same iron willed soldier!
This was a terrifying iron willed army, it was not inferior to the most elite Central State army!
The wolf flag fluttered and their spears glowed cold. These were the strongest mercenaries in the Central State!
A giant green wolf seemingly carved from jade was standing at the front. On top, there sat a man with eyes like lightning and a cold face. There was a giant scar on his face passing through his left eye that made him look even more sinister. His eyes were as cold and sharp as a knife and his body was covered in a suffocating aura.
"Sir family head!"
"South Sky City is in front of us!"
"Please give the order! We will immediately attack the city!"
Two mercenaries with strong auras stood at his sides.
"Tianlang is still in their hands and you want to attack the city? Are you seeking death?!"
The two mercenaries quickly and nervously said, "Subordinate doesn't dare!"
This knife scarred middle aged man naturally was not just anyone. He was the Ye Family's head, the leader of the Ye Family's mercenary group —Ye Wudao!
This man looked to be around forty-fifty years old, but he was actually close to sixty years old.
He had taken over the family head position at the age of thirty and had led the Ye Family's mercenary group for twenty years. He had single handedly turned the Ye Family into one of the Four Great Families!
Ye Wudao was very overbearing when he was younger. He was extremely cruel and heartless, for a single grudge, he would slaughter a person's entire family, even little babies weren't spared. Any person that had a grudge with him, would never have a good ending.
After over ten years.
Ye Wudao had become famous and his influence increased everyday. Adding on his cruel reputation from his youth, no one dared to annoy him in Central State City. Now Ye Wudao rarely appeared in the public's eyes, but his cruel wolf like personality had been passed on to the entire family.
From the high class elders to the lowly stewards, then entire Ye Family was arrogant beyond compare. Their personalities were cruel and overbearing.
The Ye Family even supported internal fights.
Letting the wolf nature run through their bones.
Without being ruthless and deceitful, one couldn't survive in the Ye Family!
Due to this, the Ye Family's battle strength had become highly formidable. The Ye Family had become very aggressive. For their goal, they would resort to anything!
In these ten or so years, the family had inflated their wealth and influence by several times and had attracted countless followers!
The wolf was their totem.
The entire clan was like a pack of wolves!
The Ye Family was the most like the wolf in the Central State, they were the most aggressive family!
In all these years, there was no one that dared to have the last word with the Ye Family. No one would have thought that from a small place like South Sky City, someone like Chu Tian would appear!
What they also couldn't imagine!
The son Ye Wudao had been proud of, would actually be captured by this little peasant!
The minute Ye Wudao found out that Ye Tianlang had been captured, he had slain over ten of his personal bodyguards in rage. Then he led the most elite troops of the Ye Family and marched off to South Sky City!
The South Sky City gates were firmly closed!
On the high city walls, there were over a thousand archers. Their arrows were like a dense jungle, glowing cold and sinister. They were ready to blot out the sky at any minute.
A person in a whole body of white armour was currently standing in the central tower. He grasped a thick iron spear and faced the Ye Family mercenaries as he loudly shouted, "I am South Sky City's General Xiong Bing! Ye Wudao, you have brought personal soldiers and threatened the one million people of South Sky City. You have clearly broken the kingdom's laws. What crime do you deserve!"
Ye Wudao's eyes swept across the city walls, falling onto a young man that was tied up. Wasn't this his son Ye Tianlang?
Ye Tianlang had run rampant for a moment!
Now he was being humiliated in front of the over ten thousand mercenaries and was tied to a pole!
This was simply ruthlessly slapping Ye Wudao's face, ruthlessly slapping the Ye Family mercenaries' faces!
It didn't matter if it was a normal Ye Family member. But Ye Tianlang was Ye Wudao's son and the successor to the Ye Family!
Ye Wudao disregarded Xiong Bing and raised his hand high up, "Form the attack formation!"
The wolf cavalry spread out evenly and formed several crescent shaped charge formations. At the same time, they lifted their weapons high up and as if the wolves could feel their masters' killing intent, they raised their heads and howled into the sky. These wolves were all demon beasts, even if one or two weren't that scary, with over a thousand of them howling together, it was enough to shake the city walls.
The South Sky City soldiers were unable to stop their shaking hands. Some of them were even weak willed and began to urinate their pants.
"Prepare to charge!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Daring to shame our Ye Family! Die!"
Over ten thousand wolves howling!
Over ten thousand cavalrymen!
The killing intent filled the air!
Xiong Bing's face turned very ugly, "Mayor, the situation is really bad. That maniac Ye Wudao might really attack the city! Has Chu Tian come out yet?"
"He closed up the day before yesterday and still hasn't come out!" Nangong Yi stood beside Xiong Bing, he also had a very depressed look, "This kid causes trouble and then lets us wipe his ass. He is truly going too far!"
Nangong Hai was joyfully watching from the side.
This time they've angered Ye Wudao, he wanted to see how it would end for them!
Ye Wudao's disposition was very cruel, if he was angered, it was very likely he would attack the city. Could South Sky City's army block the Ye Family elites? At that time not to mention Chu Tian, even the entire South Sky City might be slaughtered!
This matter, Nangong Yi could not avoid taking responsibility for. He had to see it through to the end!
Ye Wudao rode his mount forward and coldly stared at the city gate. Nangong Yi, release Tianlang right now. I only want the life of Chu Tian!"
Nangong Yi revealed an awkward expression.
Ye Wudao's strength was at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer. It was hard for Nangong Yi to fight him with his 4th Awakened Soul Layer strength.
Moreover, Ye Wudao had brought many experts with him. Within the wolf cavalry teams, there were many Awakened Soul experts. There were probably around forty-fifty of them which was much more than all the Awakened Soul experts in South Sky City combined!
Nangong Yi could only try making concessions, "I'll let go of Ye Tianlang and you let off Chu Tian!"
"You should understand your own situation! You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me!" Ye Wudao's voice was as sharp as a knife. He raised his right arm high up and loudly ordered, "Wolf Fang Mercenaries! Prepare to charge!"
The mercenaries began to release their spirit energy.
The aura surrounding them increased by several times!
Nangong Yi's face fell. This fellow was simply too overbearing. With a single word, he was prepared to attack the city.
"People of South Sky City, the Wolf Fang Mercenaries will attack the city after ten seconds!" He used his spirit energy and spread his voice across the city. "I'll give you ten seconds to reconsider, every second after that, we'll kill a hundred thousand people once we break into the city!"
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"..."
Just like a terrifying count down to their deaths, it sounded out in the people's minds.
Ye Wudao's voice spread through all of South Sky City!
At this minute, everyone was petrified with fear!
He would kill a hundred thousand people for every extra second? Then wouldn't he only need ten seconds to kill all one million people?
In this world, the weak were like grass. But this time he was slaughtering an entire city, by killing this many people, wasn't he afraid of causing the public's outrage?
Everyone had underestimated the Ye Family's cruelty and they underestimated how terrifying the Ye Family was!
Nangong Yi's expression became very ugly, "Ye Wudao, you really want to massacre a city? You really are a maniac!"
Ye Wudao coldly smiled but did not speak, he just continued counting, "Six! Five! ….."
The soldiers on the city wall quickly threw down their weapons.
"We surrender!"
"Please don't kill me!"
Once Xiong Bing saw this, his heart filled with helplessness and he clenched his teeth, "Mayor, there's not other way. We can't do anything, we should at least let him go!"
Dammit!
Chu Tian still hadn't come out yet?
Nangong Yi tightly clenched his fist and said through clenched teeth, "We can't! With Ye Tianlang in our hands, he still might have some hesitation. If we let him go, with Ye Wudao's personality, South Sky City has no way of escaping!"
Ye Wudao seemed to become more and more ominous. It was just like a demon beast's roar, "Four! Three! Two! One!"
The countdown was over!
"Perhaps it's been too long since I've appeared, people have actually forgotten how I do things!" Ye Wudao revealed a cruel look. He pulled out a long sabre from his waist and raised it into the sky as he loudly shouted, "Then we'll let you have a taste of what we have! The might of the Wolf Fang Mercenaries! Break into the city!"
"Kill!"
The wolf cavalry suddenly rush out!
It was like a wave of beans forming a giant green wave as the wolf cavalry charged forward together.
Ye Wudao had a fierce face, "I want to let everyone know the price of offending the Ye Family! They must pay the price in blood!"
"Not good!"
Xiong Bing and Nangong Yi's faces fell!
Right as the wolf cavalry was about to hit the wall!
Suddenly a strong aura shot out, coming out from within South Sky City. It was an ancient and mysterious power.
Like an ancient demonic god that had been sleeping for ten billion years, had suddenly awoken. In that instant, the world changed colours, the gods ran away, and every living thing began to shake!
"Wu, wu, wu!"
The originally vicious wolves suddenly felt something and stopped in place. Without warning, they began to tremble and their mouths began to let out frightened cries.
"What is going on!"
"Kill! Quickly kill them!"
Ye Wudao angrily shouted at the wolves, but even his own mount was the same. Against this kind of mysterious and unknown ancient god's consciousness, these demon beast did not even have the slightest thought of resisting.
The mounts of the Wolf Fang Mercenaries had all been thoroughly trained!
Even if they met a higher level demon beast, they still wouldn't be frightened to the point where they couldn't move!
What was happening?
"Hong, hong!"
In the sky, countless streaks of red lightning flashed and black clouds gathered above South Sky City. It seemed like it was the end of the world.
A large figure was suddenly projected into the endless void!
The moment everyone saw that figure, there brains turned blank, as if they had just been petrified.
What kind of existence was this?
It was an impressive ancient demonic god with nine eyes!
The minute while everyone was in a daze, the nine eyes opened and its eyes swept across the wolf cavalry soldiers outside the city. Then the giant figure disappeared.
"Ao, ao, ao!"
The ten thousand battle wolves all began to wildly howl as they jumped around randomly and began to flee in all directions. The riders could not control the wolves and were all thrown onto the ground as everything turned to chaos.
In just a few minutes, the entire wolf cavalry had been thrown into chaos and all the wolves had fled.
Ye Wudao couldn't help being angry from the shame, "What did you do!"
Nangong Yi and Xiong Bing looked at each other blankly, they had no way of explaining what had just happened. That fierce demonic god's figure had only appeared for two-three seconds and it had completely collapsed the wolf cavalry.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
"It seems like I've come right on time!"
A laugh came from behind them and the two of them turned around to look. Chu Tian brought the Meng Qingwu sisters and was slowly walking over. Zhang Liqing and Xiong Tianyan were behind them.
Nangong Yi didn't know why, but seeing Chu Tian appear made him relax, "You little brat, you've finally come! You…..You guys have already broken through!"
Chu Tian's temperament had greatly changed, he had become even more mysterious and profound. There was no doubt that he had broken through!
Now Chu Tian had already surpassed the Body Refinement Realm and was now a dignified Awakened Soul Cultivator. It was not only Chu Tian, but Meng Yingying and Meng Qingwu had both broken through to the Awakened Soul Realm!
This was too shocking!
Also!
What was that phenomenon that happened in the sky?
Was it caused by Chu Tian breaking through?!
Chapter 106: Comparing to see who's more ruthless!
Chapter 106: Comparing to see who's more ruthless!
The goal in the Body Refinement Realm was to connect one's meridians, allowing spiritual energy to enter the body and build up the body's spirit energy reserves. It was the most basic foundational stage. The Awakened Soul Realm was the first step into true cultivation.
Cultivators in the peak 9th Body Refinement Realm could awaken a source spirit, but that source spirit would be asleep. Only when they entered the Awakened Soul Realm could they truly awaken their source spirits.
The moment a source spirit awakened!
There have been none that could shake the world and there were none that could cause this kind of phenomenon.
Once the demon god opened his eyes!
The heaven and earth changed!
In this very short period of time, a terrifying pressure exploded out, leaving an oppressive fear causing the wolves to be scared off. The wolf mounts that the Ye Family was so proud of, unexpectedly collapsed with a single attack!
"Chu Tian!"
Ye Wudao was about to go crazy from his anger.
Chu Tian look at the chaotic Ye Family Mercenaries and laughed, "Ha, ha, ha! How strong are the Ye Family Mercenaries? Just a bunch of ruffians. The fight hasn't even started and they've already scattered! Being the Ye Family's head, not only do you have a waste of a son, you also have to lead a bunch of weak subordinates. It truly is hard on you!"
"Chu Tian, you are going too far!"
"Going too far?" Chu Tian coldly snorted and loudly shouted, "Ye Xiong has already been in South Sky City for over ten years, he was extremely arrogant and killed countless people. Why don't you think that he's gone too far? The Ye Family's waste of a son didn't know his own strength and came to South Sky City to cause trouble. Why don't you think that he's gone too far? You old dog, you have no hesitation in raising your army and using it to attack a city of innocent people. Why don't you think you've gone too far?"
"Everything was done by your Father Chu Tian!"
"If you have the skills then come for me. What skills do you have if you vent on other people? This is how someone incompetent acts!"
Chu Tian arrived beside Ye Tianlang and snapped his fingers. Xiong Tianyan threw out a bucket of water and woke Ye Tianlang up.
Ye Tianlang looked around in panic, "Father! Quickly, save me!"
Ye Wudao clenched his fists and roared, "Fine! I'll give you another chance! Release Tianlang immediately! Today I'll only take your little life! No one else here will be implicated! Otherwise, the Wolf Fang Mercenaries will immediately begin slaughtering the entire city!"
"Ha, ha, ha! That is not up to you to decide!" Chu Tian took out a long whip, "Your Ye Family truly doesn't know how to educate its members, you can't even teach your son properly. That being the case, then I'll have to teach your son for you!"
Ye Wudao was filled with the desire to kill as he shouted, "You dare!"
Chu Tian shouted, "Old Xiong, take off his pants!"
Ye Tianlang shouted angrily from the shame, "No, NO!"
Xiong Tianyan didn't waste words and pulled off Ye Tianlang's pants. His smooth buttocks was shown to the people outside the wall, pointed right in the faces of the ten thousand Wolf Fang Mercenaries.
Pa!
Chu Tian used his full strength to swing the whip once!
The white buttocks, it was instantly ripped open!
"Who told you to put no one else in your eyes!
"Who told you to be so arrogant!"
"Who told you to send troops out to massacre a city!"
Chu Tian continued to swing the whip. He hit Ye Tianlang's butt over ten times, until it was covered in blood.
Crazy!
This brat was crazy!
This was the infamous Wolf Fang Mercenaries!
This was the infamous Heavenly Wolf Young Master!
This one move, it made the Ye Family members go insane!
How was this just simply slapping Ye Tianlang's butt!
This was simply slapping the Ye Family's face!
"Attack the city! Immediately attack the city!" Ye Wudao lost his mind as he angrily roared, "Don't leave a single person alive! Kill them all!"
"You can try!" Chu Tian coldly smiled as he took the Netherworld Sword from his back. He raised the sword and placed it right under Ye Tianlang's neck, "If anyone dares to move forward a single step, then Father will cut off this dog's head!"
"You dare!"
"I don't dare? Things are already like this, there is nothing that I don't dare to do!"
Ye Wudao's life energy swelled and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chu Tian loudly laughed and said, "If the city were destroyed, I would die anyway. That being the case, what is there to be afraid of! Ye Wudao, since you dare play with me, then I'll play with you to then end! Father isn't scared of death!"
After Chu Tian finished, he raised his long sword high up.
Ye Wudao was startled as he angrily roared, "Stop!"
A sword glow fell down!
Ye Tianlang pitifully cried out, "My hand! My hand!"
A severed arm fell outside the city!
Ye Wudao rushed forth to catch his son's severed arm. Seeing the blood gush out, he quickly injected his spirit energy to maintain the vitality of the severed arm!
A cultivator, a martial artist.
If they lost an arm, what kind of loss would that be?
Ye Tianlang and Ye Wudao couldn't accept this kind of loss. The entire Ye Family couldn't accept this kind of loss!
Chu Tian pointed the Netherworld Sword at Ye Tianlang and said, "I'll give you five seconds to immediately withdraw your troops!"
Ye Tianlang screamed, "Impossible!"
"For every second that passes, I will cut off a limb. Once all his limbs are gone, I will waste his cultivation, and then kill him! Ye Wudao, you only have this one son. If you don't want to lose your heir, then I suggest you take your dogs out of South Sky City!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
Ye Tianlang gave a pitiful cry and another arm was chopped off. It flew down from the city walls.
Cruel, bloodthirsty, ruthless, and merciless...This was a true maniac!
Ye Wudao's heart went cold!
In all these years!
This was the first time Ye Wudao had met someone crazier than him. Chu Tian would really kill Ye Tianlang, he wasn't the least bit scared!
"Retreat!"
"Everyone retreat!"
Ye Wudao's angry roar rang out like a beast's!
The Ye Family Mercenaries revealed unwilling expressions, but there was no other way. Their young master was in their hands and the enemy was a crazy man who didn't care about his own life!
The Ye Family Mercenaries withdrew a kilometer away, leaving Ye Wudao remaining by himself.
Chu Tian began to laugh, "Now you're listening!"
Ye Wudao took a deep breath and calmed down. His eyes were as sinister as a wolf's, "Chu Tian, I'll acknowledge the fact that I've underestimated you. But do you think that by holding my son hostage, you've already won? Your way of doing this is bringing harm to the entire city. Don't you have any conscience?"
This Ye Wudao, he tried using a psychological approach.
Because he could tell that Chu Tian was a person with high principles. A person who was responsible for his actions, he wouldn't implicate other people.
Ye Wudao coldly said, "It's no use killing my son. The Ye Family has countless male offsprings, can you kill them all? But once you kill my son, I will begin to massacre the city's people. From top to bottom, nothing will be left! In the worst case scenario, the Ye Family will just leave the Southern Summer Country! Chu Tian! You have to think about this carefully! Do you want this entire city to be buried with you?!"
Nangong Yi, Xiong Bing, and the others began to sweat profusely.
The two of them were both extremists!
Now that this situation had occurred.
They had no idea how to resolve it!
It was impossible for Chu Tian to let Ye Tianlang go and Ye Wudao would definitely not retreat. No matter what happened today, it would result in a fight to the death.
Ye Wudao coldly said, "Release him immediately! I will only kill you, this is my final concession. If you continue to argue then I won't want this son anymore and I'll massacre the entire city!"
If Ye Wudao really didn't want this son anymore.
He would really order for the city to be massacred.
Right now, without giving the order, he had no way of massacring the city.
Chu Tian knew that Ye Tianlang was Ye Wudao's only son. Compared to a city of a million common folk, Ye Tianlang was more important to Ye Wudao!
Massacring the city?
If the Ye Family really massacred a city, they would no longer be able to stay in the country. They would lose the foundation they've built over the years and would have to leave the Southern Summer Country, roaming to find another place to go.
This was losing situation for both of them!
Ye Wudao had governed the Ye Family for this many years, he wouldn't do this kind of thing!
Chu Tian slowly raised the Netherworld Sword and blade was covered in a blue glow. He said word by word, "Then let's try it!"
After finishing!
Chu Tian swung the blade at Ye Tianlang's neck.
The blade was getting closer and closer to Ye Tianlang's neck!
Ye Wudao clenched his teeth and his pupils shrank. Not good, definitely not good. Ye Tianlang was someone trained with all of the Ye Family's resources, he could not die right now. Otherwise, the Ye Family would suffer a huge loss and would decline.
Forget it!
He couldn't want to keep his face anymore!
Even if he couldn't kill Chu Tian today, he still had to save Ye Tianlang!
The corners of Chu Tian's mouth raised into a cold smile. He knew they would still stop him from killing Ye Tianlang. At this time, the initiative was in Chu Tian's hands. He could give any conditions and even if he asked an outrageous price, Ye Wudao wouldn't be able to refuse!
But!
At this moment!
The wind surged and the clouds parted!
"Stay your sword!"
An incomparably terrifying aura burst out from above the clouds and instantly locked Chu Tian in place. Chu Tian felt a mountain like pressure fall upon him and the sword in his hand would not move!
Nangong Yi's face fell, "Such a terrifying aura! Where did it even come from!"
In the air, there was a person's figure floating. His feet were standing on a tornado and he wore a simple blue robe. He had long grey hair and possessed a unique, elegant style. He seemed to be around thirty-forty years old, but his actual age was much greater.
Elegant!
Otherworldly!
It was as if an immortal had arrived. That strong aura, everyone could not help but tremble from it.
"Divine Wind Marquis?"
"It's actually the Divine Wind Marquis!"
Above and below the city walls, all the military officers and even the Ye Family Mercenaries, the minute they saw this man, they all kneeled forward and respectfully shouted, "We greet the Divine Wind Marquis!"
Nangong Yi and Ye Wudao also had to bow!
The Divine Wind Marquis stepped on the tornado and slowly descended down to the ground. He slowly looked at Chu Tian on the wall and finally landed beside Ye Wudao, "Ye Wudao, sending troops to destroy a city, you truly are arrogant."
Although his voice was small.
It still pushed the clouds away.
It contained the pressure of heaven and earth.
Ye Wudao's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Even though he himself was quite a famous person, his hands still couldn't help slightly trembling, "It was a spur of the moment decision, I ask Divine Wind Marquis to give me my punishment!"
The Divine Wind Marquis lightly said, "It was to save your child, so we'll forget about it this time."
The Divine Wind Marquis stared at Chu Tian, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. A person that could face his pressure and not tremble at all, he was definitely not someone simple.
This person was really the youth he had imagined.
The Divine Wind Marquis revealed a faint smile, "Good courage! Seems like another formidable person is gonna appear in Central State!"
Chu Tian didn't have the word fear in his dictionary. At this time, Chu Tian didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, he just knit his brows and asked, "Who are you?"
Nangong Yi and Meng Qingwu were both worried.
This little calf did not fear the tiger!
There was no one in Central State that dared to talk to the Divine Wind Marquis like this!
"I am Feng Yuntian." The Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian didn't seem to mind, "What is your name?"
Everyone's mouths fell wide open in shock. This kind of awe inspiring Divine Wind Marquis, actually introduced himself to this youth.
Chu Tian replied, "Chu Tian!"
"Alright, Chu Tian. I'll remember you." Feng Yuntian looked at Ye Tianlang and said, "Let's end today's matters here. Why don't you both give me a little face and find a way to reconcile?"
Chu Tian asked, "How do we reconcile?"
"We'll write everything off!" Feng Yuntian said, "If you let Ye Tianlang go, I'll won't let anyone from the Ye, Chu, and Luo Families enter into South Sky City. Is this good enough for you?"
Chu Tian was a little sceptical, "Would they obediently listen to you?"
Feng Yuntian gave a confident smile and said, "They would at least have to give me some face! Ye Wudao, what do you say?"
Hateful!
Hateful to the point of going crazy!
Ye Wudao had no choice but to endure as he said, "Since the Divine Wind Marquis is personally mediating, then there's nothing left to say. As long as they release Tianlang!"
Chu Tian pondered for a few seconds.
Who the Divine Wind Marquis was, Chu Tian wasn't very clear on. This person had a profound cultivation base that even Nangong Yi from the Nangong Family had no choice but to salute to him, this meant that his status was not simple.
With this kind of person acting as a guarantor, then it would be fine to comply.
"Alright! I'll let him go!"
As soon as he spoke.
Feng Yuntian released a tornado from his right hand which picked up Ye Tianlang and delivered him to Ye Wudao's side.
Too fast!
Chu Tian was secretly shocked.
This Feng Yuntian was really strong, he was completely able to rescue the hostage that Chu Tian was holding. His so called reconciling was actually helping him…..But why did he do this?
"This matter will end here. I hope you will both properly follow through!"
Feng Yuntian's figure flashed and instantly disappeared into the sky.
Suddenly appearing and suddenly disappearing, it was as if he had never even been here.
"Chu Tian, just live your remaining years in South Sky City!" Ye Wudao held his amputated son as he bitterly looked at Chu Tian and shouted, "Return to Central State!"
The Wolf Fang Mercenaries were like the tide as the left South Sky City.
This earth shattering conflict was finally over.
Chapter 107: Stealing the goods
Chapter 107: Stealing the goods
Since Ye Wudao had no way to continue playing, this shocking incident had finally come to an end. Furthermore, since Nangong Yi had broken through to the 4th Awakened Soul Layer, he could easily be promoted to an elder of the Nangong Family.
With Nangong Yi's personal guarantee, Chu Tian, Meng Yingying, and Meng Qingwu could officially become guest officials of the Nangong Family. From now on, they would be under the halo of the Nangong Family. They could enjoy the protection of the Nangong Family and be safe to a certain extent.
Nangong Yi thought Chu Tian was truly too lucky, "In all of Central State, to be able to insult Ye Wudao like this and get out safely, this little brat is definitely the first!"
Chu Tian was actually a little worried, "Ye Wudao definitely hates me to the depths of his bones, how do you know he won't come back for revenge? That person probably has a 5th-6th Awakened Soul Layer cultivation. If he truly wanted to retaliate against me, just the Nangong Family guest official position would not be enough!"
Chu Tian had only wanted the guest official position was because he had killed Ye Xiong.
Ye Xiong was only a normal elder, or an elder with a few achievements. Killing him would only make the Ye Family angry, but if they had to offend the Nangong Family to kill him, the Ye Family would still have to reconsider.
The current situation was not the same!
Chu Tian and the Ye Family could not coexist anymore!
Chu Tian had captured the Heavenly Wolf Young Master and had ruthlessly shamed him, making Ye Wudao lose face. With his wild and overbearing personality, would he really just endure all of this?
Nangong Yi confidently said, "With the Divine Wind Marquis personally taking action, no matter how much Ye Wudao hates you, he still will not be able to do anything to you. You can stop worrying about this!"
"What kind of person is the Divine Wind Marquis?"
"You're a person of Central State, how do you not know about the Divine Wind Marquis?"
When Nangong Yi mentioned the Divine Wind Marquis, his eyes filled with admiration, "The Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian is one of the heroes of the Southern Summer Country. He had achieved a lot of military merits in the past and then was given the title of Divine Wind Marquis, becoming one of the eight marquises of the Southern Summer Country!"
"The Southern Summer Country has eight marquises?"
"You should understand what it means!" Nangong Yi stared at Chu Tian and said, "The Southern Summer Country has eight states in total. They are given to the eight marquises, each one ruling over a single state. The area given to Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian, is Central State."
Chu Tian was shocked, "The entire Central State is managed by him?"
"That also isn't correct! The Divine Wind Marquis' personality is to live simply, so he doesn't like competing for authority. Because of this, he's given all the authority to others and chooses to live in seclusion. But, with the Divine Wind Marquis' reputation, there's no one in Central State that dares to go against him!"
Southern Summer's eight marquises.
The Divine Wind Marquis was one of them!
With Feng Yuntian's reputation in the Southern Summer Country, he could still be considered a first class character!
Chu Tian had caused so much trouble that he had even called out the Divine Wind Marquis!
No wonder once the Divine Wind Marquis decided to act, Ye Wudao immediately withdrew his troops and didn't dare talk about massacring the city again. Because strength was authority and the Divine Wind Marquis had the deepest cultivation base in the entire Central State.
Not giving the Divine Wind Marquis face?
That was simply seeking death!
The Divine Wind Marquis' whereabouts were usually unknown and only a few people had seen his real face. He was just like a legend of Central State.
This time, he came out to personally mediate for Chu Tian. How could this not make people confused?
Ye Wudao had already promised so he definitely wouldn't risk offending the Divine Wind Marquis by acting rashly once again. Even the Chu and Luo Families would have to be cautious now.
Since he had the protection of the Divine Wind Marquis and had already become a guest official of the Nangong Family, was there anything to worry about?
At least, in this short period of time, these families would not make another move!
Chu Tian's fame, had increased by another level.
Chu Tian had held the Heavenly Wolf Young Master hostage in front of the Ye Family Mercenaries. This kind of ruthless scene had been imprinted deeply in everyone's hearts.
Annoy the King of Hell.
Do not annoy Chu Tian!
When Chu Tian returned to his house, messengers from all the large and small families of South Sky City had all come to greet him.
"The Du Family sends a congratulatory present!"
"The Li Family sends a congratulatory present!"
"The Dark Horse Commerce sends a present!"
"The Fierce Tiger Mercenaries sends a present!"
"..."
All kinds of gift floated down like snowflakes. The Meng Qingwu sisters were completely occupied.
The Miracle Commerce had appeared out of nowhere. In a single month, they had become a large influence. They had become the pillar of South Sky City!
While Meng Qingwu faced this mountain of presents, she once again had a feeling that she was in a dream.
A month ago.
Southern Cloud Commerce was alone with no help. With no background and no backers, they could only be careful and make sure not to offend any other families or companies.
After a month passed.
These two sisters had undergone a magnificent transformation and turned into Awakened Soul Cultivators respected by tens of thousands of people.
All those that had once gone against Southern Cloud Commerce now had no choice but to bring gifts as they threw out compliments. They were simply waiting to kneel down in front of these two sisters!
These two sisters had both lived common lives, how could the be used to this respect and prestige?
Miracle Commerce had become strong.
Southern Cloud Commerce had become strong.
Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying had become strong.
No one in South Sky City dared to look down on these sisters again!
Chu Tian repeated the words Nangong Yi had told him after he returned home. Meng Qingwu was not the least bit surprised because Meng Qingwu already knew of the Divine Wind Marquis.
He was a kind of divine existence!
There was no one in Central State that dared to go against him!
Even the cruel Ye Wudao didn't even dare!
Meng Qingwu could finally relax as she prepared to expand the company, "We already have made fifty thousand electric lamps and currently placed in storage. 80% of the merchandise is common electric lamps and the rest are large electric lamps, portable lamps, and etc. Now that the time is ripe, I think it is time to sell the electric lamps to the people of South Sky City!"
They had been preparing in South Sky City for a while now. The electric lamp factories have been working everyday.
Miracle Commerce had already prepared a preliminary set of merchandise, they were completely ready to start doing business.
This kind of matter, Chu Tian didn't really care about. Right now, he was only thinking about the Nether Flame Grass from the Tianchen Commerce. As long as the Nether Flame Grass is delivered, Chu Tian could begin practicing the Netherworld Flame Sword.
Wealth is just a thing, it could be gained at any minute!
Strength is the basis of living a safe life!
Chu Tian couldn't be relaxed just because the Divine Wind Marquis had interfered. Even though Ye Wudao didn't dare to openly cause trouble, wouldn't he still be able to have sinister plots?
"The electric lamps generate a large profit and the market is very big. Not only will cultivators be interested, even common folk will want them. Not only will it bring us a large profit, it can also raise Miracle Commerce's reputation by quite a bit." Chu Tian spoke up to here, then suddenly paused, "I'll teach you how to make the source energy batteries. As for the sale of the electric lamps, I'll leave it up to you."
The source energy battery technology had to be kept secret.
Although Miracle Commerce had already secretly began to mine crystal oil, they still haven't announced the source energy battery yet.
Meng Qingwu had the Heavenly Book Source Spirit so she could learn things very quickly. After Chu Tian gave a quick explanation, Meng Qingwu drew an entire set of level one source energy battery manufacturing array.
Meng Qingwu proudly said, "Relax, I will guard this battery manufacturing array!"
"Chairman!"
"Chairman!"
A guard quickly ran in, "There are two people outside, they say they are from Tianchen Commerce!"
Chu Tian was happy.
What he had been looking forward to had finally arrived!
Chu Tian quickly rushed out to meet them. Who knew that when he met them, Chu Tian would stare at them dumbfoundedly.
Their faces were covered in blood and there were injuries all over their bodies. The armour they wore was completely battered.
Chu Tian recognized the person in the middle. Wasn't that Jing Hu?
Chu Tian quickly asked, "What happened to you?"
After Jing Hu had entered the city, he had already heard everything Chu Tian had done. From this moment on, he knew how terrifying Chu Tian was.
Putong!
Jing Hu fell down kneeling on the ground and crawled in front of Chu Tian as he said with a sad face, "Chairman Chu, please forgive us. We had secretly brought the merchandise with us out of Central State, but we were attacked by bandits on the way and everything was stolen by them!"
"What?" Chu Tian was so angry his mouth went crooked, "You've lost the merchandise? Didn't I tell you to secretly bring it out?"
Jing Hu continued to apologize, "We did sneak out and no one knew that we were sending the merchandise to Miracle Commerce....Only we met bandits on the way. It was all a coincidence!"
"You think I'm stupid? How could a few bandits steal stuff from Tianchen Commerce?"
This wasn't Chu Tian's fault. No one would believe it either!
Jing Hu had personally escorted the merchandise and Jing Hu was an Awakened Soul cultivator. No matter where an Awakened Soul cultivator went, they would be an aloof existence.
And now.
A couple of bandits from who knows where could actually defeat Tianchen Commerce. If the bandits were this strong, then Central State would have long fallen into chaos.
"Chu Tian don't be anxious. Get all the details first."
Meng Qingwu could see that Jing Hu was an honest person. Losing the goods also made her anxious because in the large shipment, there was not only the Nether Flame Grass Chu Tian needed, there was also materials that Miracle Commerce needed, like the Three Lives Demonic Insects for the Qi Refining Pills.
If the lost the goods, they would suffer a huge loss!
Jing Hu carefully described the events. Nothing happened to the Tianchen Commerce caravan the entire way, but once they got close to a small city named "Yellow Stone City", a group of ferocious bandits appeared and stole all their goods.
Jing Hu had fought back and tried to kill them all, but who would have thought that they would be much stronger than he could imagine!
"The leader of the bandits was very strong, he was at least in the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer. Moreover, he practices an unknown evil art that makes him even stronger. I couldn't beat him, so I could only abandon the merchandise and escape, bringing news back to South Sky City."
Could bandits be this strong?
Since they were already this strong, why did they still work as bandits?
Chu Tian paid special attention to a certain detail, "You said he practiced an evil art? What kind of evil art was it!"
Jing Hu revealed a frightened expression, "I don't know what kind of evil art it was. I've never seen it before and I don't think it is a cultivation technique from the Central State area, but it was very powerful."
The origin of these bandits was not simple.
Because there wasn't enough details, Chu Tian couldn't tell at this time if these people had any relations to any of the Central State families.
Meng Qingwu asked Chu Tian, "What do you think?"
Chu Tian shook his head, "It's hard to say. I have to take a look for myself!"
Meng Qingwu was a little worried as she said, "Isn't it too dangerous to leave South Sky City right now? What if it's a trap Ye Wudao has set?"
"It's not likely. The time doesn't match."
"But your current situation is very fragile!"
"Relax, I'll leave the Yin Corpses in the city. I'll use the old method to leave, this way no one will recognize me."
This batch of stuff was more important to Chu Tian than Meng Qingwu could ever imagine.
Chu Tian had to disguise himself and investigate the circumstances.
