"Ah ah ah..." A tragic scream echoed as Tang Piaohong clutched his missing left sleeve, crying out in pain. Cold sweat poured down his forehead. From childhood, he had been carefully protected, never once shedding blood. Today, not only had he lost face, but an arm had also been severed. After a moment of intense pain, he fainted!
"Young Master Hong!" Beside him, the beautiful woman Ning Wencheng finally reacted. She quickly channeled her power into his body, then performed several incantations on his left shoulder until the bleeding stopped.
"Your Excellency! You are being utterly ruthless. Even if you are from the Martial God Academy, isn't this too overbearing?" The remaining first-level God-rank expert asked coldly after his initial shock. He had to admit his intelligence in invoking the Martial God Academy's prestige. If Yu Tianjun was a student there, he would at least have to uphold its reputation and couldn't just indiscriminately kill people here.
"My Xuan family will definitely not rest until you are dead!" Xuan Mingfu said coldly, holding Xuan Sijia's head in her arms. Even the Martial God Academy wouldn't interfere too deeply in personal matters.
"Haha! They are the ones from the Martial God Academy. I am not yet one of them. If you want revenge, just come find me, one person will do." Yu Tianjun laughed loudly upon hearing this. "If you don't get out now, don't blame me for pursuing and killing you all." He changed his tone, speaking coldly.
"You..." Both the first-level God-rank expert and Xuan Mingfu fell silent, not daring to speak further. If that person truly wanted to kill them, the seemingly adorable little beast, Xiao Yun, would certainly not let anyone survive. Its methods just now were still very fresh in their minds.
Seeing that Yu Tianjun did not make a move, the group sighed in relief and turned to leave, their faces ashen. Of course, after they turned away, their expressions were replaced with murderous intent. Yu Tianjun, not being a student of the Martial God Academy, dared to sever Tang Piaohong's arm in front of so many people. Given Elder Tang Qingyun's personality, he would surely seek bloody revenge. Xuan Mingfu's eyes were filled with killing intent. Xuan Sijia had cared for her like a father since childhood, so their bond was very strong. How could she live in peace if this vendetta was not repaid?
"Yi Ya!" "Yi Ya!" Xiao Yun looked at Yu Tianjun, puzzled. Why did big brother let those people go? It could have easily annihilated them.
As the group departed, Xiao Yun leaped up like lightning and burrowed obediently into Yu Tianjun's embrace. Who could have imagined that such an adorable little beast had just killed without mercy, its pure white fur not stained with a single drop of blood, its paws perfectly clean?
"Huh! The three of you can go wake up the others now. Let's gather a bit and then continue our journey." Yu Tianjun turned to Wan Jingshen and the other two. After today's incident, they were probably even more afraid of Xiao Yun.
"We'll go right away..." Wan Jingshen and the two immediately ran off. They never expected that the innocent and pure Xiao Yun in their hearts was actually a ruthless killing monster. Reality and their imagination were far too different.
"That guy dared to let the tiger return to the mountains, hmph. After I return, I will tell my grandfather and the others to set an ambush at the port. The day you return to the port will be the day you die." She gritted her teeth, thinking to herself. In her panic just now, she had only managed to grab Xuan Sijia's head, leaving his body behind.
"Go back and tell Grandmaster Tang about this, let him decide." Ning Wencheng said indifferently when he saw Xuan Mingfu's murderous expression. This matter might be beyond the control of the three great families in the Demon Sea Port. They were merely representatives of the three great merchant associations there, supported by the three great families, and not truly powerful.
"That little beast probably has quite a background. Tell the Beast Taming Sacred Sect about this, hehe..." The Tier 1 God-level man also said with a cold laugh. "Who knows, we might even get a lot of wealth as a reward from them." He thought to himself. The Beast Taming Sacred Sect was several star regions away from the Demon Sea. It was said that there were several Saint Ancestor-level powerhouses in the sect, making it very powerful. If they knew there was an exotic beast here, they would definitely send strong cultivators.
The three of them had different thoughts, but they were all thinking about today's events. In their eyes, Yu Tianjun was already a dead man. Offending Tang Qingyun meant he had already booked a one-way ticket to the Underworld. Tang Qingyun was known throughout the starfield near the Demon Sea as someone who always sought revenge.
Yu Tianjun didn't know that letting these people go this time would create a lot of trouble for him later. However, it was also because of this that he would learn many secrets of this starfield, secrets that had been hidden for generations! This included the mysterious Sacred Clan, but of course, this was for later. At this moment, Yu Tianjun was still leisurely listening to them talk.
"Why did you reveal your identity?" Wu Qingqing looked at Yu Tianjun with a hint of anger. Didn't this guy know she was trying to help him? There was no need to say he wasn't from the Martial God Academy.
"That's right! Tang Qingyun has an arrogant personality and is the type to always seek revenge. You cut off his nephew's arm today, which will likely bring a lot of trouble." Jiang Yunmeng also said, not understanding. Could it be that this guy would disregard his life for a bit of face?
"Hmph! What are you two talking about? If not, I'll inform my clan to send someone to kill him. He's just a mere Provisional Elder of the Pill Association." Sha Amian frowned and said when he heard this. Unlike those two girls who could only talk without certainty, he could utilize a portion of his family's power. This was the difference between ordinary clan members and nurtured geniuses.
"Even if your family is powerful, they definitely won't turn against the Pill Association over this. Our families can only put pressure on the Pill Association; fighting them would only lead to losses for us." Wu Qingqing glanced at Sha Amian and said. If she still didn't know that Sha Amian was a genius from some hidden family, then she would have truly disgraced the title of "genius." The elders in her clan once said that several powerful hidden families were no weaker than the Twelve Peak Powers. Sha Amian's family might be one of them.
"Huh! The Pill Association has extensive connections and good relations with all the top powers, so they usually don't turn hostile," Jiang Yunmeng interjected. "A single alchemist also has great influence. The Pill Association has three Saint-level alchemists and countless powerful allies. If they were to stand up and call for help, countless powerhouses would rise to assist. Therefore, even the Twelve Peak Powers give them face. For so many years, no power has dared to harbor designs on the Pill Association!" She said seriously.
"Oh! So you two are saying I've stirred up a hornet's nest..." Yu Tianjun grinned. "But Tang Qingyun is just one person. Even if he's the son-in-law of the Vice President of the Pill Alliance, so what? He dared to harbor intentions towards Xiao Yun. Even if he were the grandson of the President of the Pill Alliance, I'd still dare to kill him!" He said calmly. Anyone who provoked him or those close to him, no matter who they were, would pay a hefty price.
"You..." When Wu Qingqing and Jiang Yunmeng heard this, they were speechless.
"Hmph! Actually, according to what my family knows, the Pill Alliance's foundation is no less than any of the Twelve Peak Powers. If you ever become their enemy, you should still be careful." Sha Amtian said with a hint of seriousness. Yu Tianjun already considered him a friend, and if he couldn't even provide a little information, it would be too disrespectful to the word "friend."
"What? How could the Pill Alliance be like that?" Wu Qingqing and the other person looked at Sha Amtian in shock. Their families actually knew nothing about this.
"Huh! That powerful?" Yu Tianjun said with a laugh. He was only worried about Void Realm grand powerful cultivators. If they were still at the Saint Ancestor Realm level, they weren't enough to cause fear.
It wasn't easy to become a Peak Power like the Twelve Powers. First, they all had a supreme powerful cultivator, which was a super powerful cultivator at the ninth step of the Saint Ancestor Realm. Second, the number of Saint Ancestor powerful cultivators had to be sufficient. For example, taking the Martial God Academy into account, the Martial God Academy had the most Saint Ancestor grand powerful cultivators among the Twelve Powers. This was due to the Academy's unique nature, with seventy-two Saint Ancestor grand powerful cultivators! This was also why the Martial God Academy had the largest territory among the Twelve Powers. If it weren't for the Tai Cang Family having two powerful cultivators at the ninth step of the Saint Ancestor Realm, the Martial God Academy would be the strongest force in the Human Race.
"Huh! That's right. The Pill Alliance has three Saint-level alchemists. One is the current President, one is the Vice President, and the other is the Supreme Elder of the Pill Alliance. This Supreme Elder reached the ninth step of the Saint Ancestor Realm over seventy years ago. Today, he has probably reached the peak of the Saint Ancestor Realm," Sha Amtian said. "The number of Saint Ancestors in the Pill Alliance is probably no less than your Martial God Academy, which is why I said the Pill Alliance's foundation is not inferior to any Peak Power."
"If they are so powerful, why do they always appear to be weaker?" Jiang Yunmeng asked, puzzled.
"I don't know! How could I know their thoughts? Maybe it's because a few old monsters are playing chess with each other..." Sha Amtian raised his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
"It might be because of the Tai Cang Family!" Wu Qingqing said. "The strength of the two Saints, Cang and Jue, is heaven-defying. In addition, Tai Cang Jingyun, the current patriarch of the Tai Cang Family, is an exceptionally talented individual who is very likely to break through to the ninth step of the Saint Ancestor Realm in the next few years. The three of them could make the Tai Cang Family dominate the starry sky!" She paused for a moment. "If it weren't for the appearance of a member of the Yu Family four or five years ago, the Tai Cang Family's expansion would have been even more terrifying." As she spoke of the Yu Family member, her gaze towards Yu Tianjun was a little unusual. That person dared to compete with a member of the Yu Family, so it was understandable that he didn't have many reservations about the Pill Alliance. It was just that he didn't know how big the gap was between him and the members of the Yu Family.
"Oh! The contemporary Patriarch of the Tai Cang Family, Tai Cang Jingyun!" Wu Tianjun repeated in surprise when he heard the name. The Saint Race that took his mother's soul must be related to the high-ranking members of the Tai Cang Family; he just didn't know who. The information in the jade slip left by his father wasn't extensive, and he had inscribed everything he investigated into it, so Wu Tianjun only knew that much. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a Saint Race, he would have long since gone to the Tai Cang Family and destroyed their ancestral land.
"That's right! It's Tai Cang Jingyun! Brother Tian, do you know this person?" Sha Antian asked, a little strangely, seeing Wu Tianjun suddenly take an interest in Tai Cang Jingyun.
"Huh! When I have time, I want to meet him once..." Wu Tianjun said with a light smile. The ten-year deadline was approaching. If Tai Cang still didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't mind turning the Tai Cang Family's ancestral land into a giant beehive.
"It's very difficult to meet him..." Sha Antian and Wu Tingting, the two women, looked at Wu Tianjun, puzzled. Why would he want to meet that person? They weren't on the same level, let alone whether Tai Cang Jingyun would even bother to meet Wu Tianjun. It wasn't that easy to meet the contemporary Patriarch of one of the twelve peak forces.
"Haha, by then, he will automatically come to meet me." Wu Tianjun smiled confidently. "Alright, a small problem like this has already taken up so much of our time. You all prepare yourselves; we'll continue into Ghost Fang Island. I want to eat God-level Demonic Beasts every day!" He changed the subject and turned his back to speak. His back wasn't broad, but it gave people a very stable feeling, a confident smile playing at the corner of his mouth. The feeling of power brought confidence!
"Ah! Then what about the Pill Association's matter..." Wu Tingting quickly asked.
"Haha, let's go! We'll deal with that later." Wu Tianjun said without turning his head. "Besides, he's just a piece of trash. At most, Tang Qingyun will make a fuss. If he doesn't make it big, then fine. But if he makes me angry, even if the Pill Association gets involved, I'll still chop him down! If the Pill Association doesn't know what's good for them, hehe, I'll let them know who they've provoked!" He stopped with a strange laugh. "Let's continue our training! This matter ends here." He waved his hand, signaling them to stop talking, and continued straight ahead.
In the following days, roars of beasts and fierce battles continuously echoed from within Ghost Fang Island. Among them, a group of people relentlessly hunted Demonic Beasts with one primary goal... to eat their meat!
