One-Sided Slaughter

Ling Tian now looked like an edge lord with his all-black uniform and black mask with black hair.

He suppressed his cultivation from leaking out so he looked like a person with no cultivation to anyone else.

"Who are you?" The Queen was still mad that she got outplayed by Gui Di.

"You don't need to know that. I advise you to stop or else things will get ugly." Ling Tian said with a smile that was hidden behind the mask.

The Queen started to smile but if you looked closely, you could see she was shaking with anger.

'A woman with an anger issue and very annoying... Dared to poison her own husband, the strongest expert while she is only at the False Immortal realm, is she stupid or what?' Ling Tian questioned her intelligence.

"You poison your own husband who was the one holding the fort and now what's going to happen?"

"KILL HIM!" Many guards dressed in full armor and many assassins jumped out to attack Ling Tian.

"Oh, no wonder why you're so daring. You have someone to back you up." Ling Tian sighed.

Ling Tian's eyes glowed white and black, symbolizing his Spacetime Dao and Yin Yang Dao. Everyone that was trying to attack him was frozen in place and was pulled towards each other up in the sky and into the Yin Yang Trigram Array.

In an ancient low voice, Ling Tian said loud enough for everyone to hear, "Heaven Collapsing Palm!"

A gargantuan azure palm covered in celestial qi formed out of thin air in the sky and fell down onto the bounded-up enemies with a loud blast that could be heard from miles away.

The shockwave made everyone shield themselves and cover their eyes. Once they opened up their eyes to see the damage, they were shocked.

You could still see the Yin Yang Trigram Array, but you could not see any remaining substance that would show where the guards or assassins died. They came to the realization that they were most likely pulverized to the point there was no dust.

The main schemers, the Queen, the Royal Consort, some generals, and ministers were shocked and paralyzed by the mind-blowing scene before them.

They were only alive because Ling Tian formed a barrier to protect them. He wanted his disciple to get the revenge he wanted.

'They'll probably escape after I let them go. I can just give Gui Di a compass to locate where they are. After he gets his revenge, he'll most likely obtain an epiphany and enlightenment.' Ling Tian stroked his non-existent beard.

"Young man, would you like to become my disciple?" Ling Tian asked while stretching his hand out, holding an identical mask similar to the one he was wearing.

Gui Di grabbed the mask slowly and said, "Yes."

"Good thinking. You can have your revenge with your own hands, your master won't take away that opportunity."

When Gui Di heard that, his eyes were once again filled with rage and hatred at the thought of the people who schemed against him. He calmed down right after and nodded, he wanted to kill them with his own hands. Only then will he be truly satisfied after losing everything.

Ling Tian glared at the schemers with his cold eyes still covered in a white and black haze, and then promptly left with Gui Di in tow.

As Ling Tian soared through the air with Gui Di, he explained to him what was going to happen to him.

"I will make you into the supreme assassin, you shall cultivate in arts of the soul and the Soul Dao. Your Daoist Name shall be Ghost Emperor." Ling Tian explained.

"Although you are crippled right now, no worries, that can easily be taken care of. You can cultivate in both true qi and soul qi. I will bestow upon you the Spectral Meridians, Ghost Emperor Physique, and I can even recover your previous cultivation." With a wave of his hands, he could feel his meridians forming back and his body recover. His old cultivation of the False Immortal realm came back.

The only reason why he was schemed against was that he was born from a concubine and was too talented to the point he was schemed against and poisoned.

He reached the False Immortal realm 5th stage at the young age of 20 and was a prodigy at both cultivation and martial arts.

"Get accustomed to your new body quickly as I will be sending you to my Extremity Pagoda with your fellow senior brothers. I don't take weaklings here, so you need to get stronger quickly and efficiently. You will be entering the Shadow Realm Gate, a place filled to the brim with many different types of ghosts, specters, phantoms, dangerous life-and-death situations where you have to be on your toes at all times. Every month, you will be given a chance to rest and cultivate what you've learned and consolidate it." Ling Tian instructed.

Gui Di immediately followed orders and sat down to cultivate, not bothered by the extreme speeds Ling Tian was flying at.
