Very well! That was the past!
To rescue his old classmate, Fan Qiuya, Yang Tian once encountered black-robed figures from the Black Miao Clan in the southern region. These black-clad figures mistakenly took him for a worm.
They even claid that the most distinctive feature of poisonous ghosts was their immunity to any poison.
That was why Yang Tian imdiately recognized Haowu’s identity. More importantly, Wu Hao now carried a golden poisonous maggot!
It’s worth noting that Yang Tian had undergone ticulous refinent, becoming the heartworm of the Golden Silkworm King in the Miao River. As soone who mastered poisonous maggot techniques—an original subdivision of monstrous training thods—how could Yang Tian not have sensed it?
Thus, Haowu’s attempt to use maggots against Yang Tian made all his movents appear as nothing more than clownish leaps in Yang Tian’s eyes.
"From... the very beginning?"
When Wu Hao heard Yang Tian’s words, he suddenly chuckled.
So clever!
He hadn’t expected that his carefully laid trap—not only to kill Yang Tian but also to solidify his position in the Ji Jia hierarchy and rise to second place—would be unveiled from the start by Yang Tian.
Ultimately, his bamboo basket ca up empty. From the very beginning, Yang Tian had seen through everything. After all, his own disguise was as laughable as a clown performing before Yang Tian.
Could this be the unfathomable power described in the world’s mythology?
Surpassing strength!
As for Haowu, his slackened eyes rolled back, and he collapsed onto the ground, never to regain consciousness.
Dead... dead?
At the Ji family’s wedding banquet, where Ji Yanran, the heroine, didn’t even appear, and Haowu, who was supposed to be the hero, was directly killed by Yang Tian in the Ji family’s Dragon Manor?
Such decisive killing, filled with resolute coldness!
It was as if all this were nothing but a farcical drama!
The shock and the sheer ruthlessness of these thods silenced the banquet’s guests like cold cicadas, each of them too terrified to utter a word.
This slaughter, the utter fearlessness in his killing—who would dare provoke him?
Everyone present secretly feared whether this wedding banquet would ever proceed.
Only Lin Shanxiao, with a face full of gratitude, gazed at Yang Tian and said, "Excellent! Soone needs to thank Mr. Yang for his thoughtful actions for this young girl!"
"No need! I only killed the one who deserved it. As for your daughter, take her ho and comfort her yourself," Yang Tian said softly.
"Take her ho?"
After hearing Lin Shan’s whistle-like exclamation, he turned to look at his daughter, Lin Wenxiang, unsure of what to do next.
Although he wasn’t afraid of the poisonous liquid in his daughter’s body, his elderly mother was still living at ho. If he brought her back like this, wouldn’t his mother suffer as well?
Before Lin Shanxiao could finish contemplating, he saw Yang Tian smile faintly and lightly press his fingers against Lin Wenxiang’s forehead. All of a sudden, a golden light flashed, followed by Lin Wenxiang trembling fiercely.
At the sa ti, Yang Tian pressed his finger against Lin Wenxiang’s wrist artery, and suddenly, an opening appeared.
Then, colorful poisonous insects erged, climbing out in a swarm. Under the golden light, they turned into ashes.
"This... this..." Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Shanxiao suddenly recalled Yang Tian’s earlier deanor.
Only to hear Yang Tian speaking gently, "The poison in your daughter has been resolved. Rest for a few days at ho!"
Poison?
Did that an his daughter had been saved?
When Lin Shanxiao heard Yang Tian’s words, his excitent caused his entire being to tremble. Then, he knelt down on the floor and bowed deeply to Yang Tian, saying, "Mr. Yang has shown great rcy to . I am forever indebted for the kindness I cannot repay, and I pledge my utmost loyalty to express my gratitude."
All his wealth?
When everyone heard this, they collectively sucked in a cool breath.
Although Lin Shanxiao’s position was among the relatively modest tiers, his family’s overall assets amounted to countless millions.
Such a vast fortune to be offered to Yang Tian?
But Yang Tian rely chuckled. He had once negotiated compensation as high as $100 billion. Moreover, as soone who dealt with demons, he didn’t care about Lin Shanxiao’s wealth at all.
So he imdiately refused, saying, "No!"
"But..."
Lin Shanxiao was about to insist when Yang Tian waved his sleeve, his expression suddenly cold. It was clear that this immortal figure could truly grow angry.
So Lin remained obediently silent, though his gratitude didn’t waver in the slightest.
As for those surrounding them, they watched Yang Tian turn down wealth worth billions with breezy indifference, awestruck by his godlike presence.
Despite their admiration, Yang Tian had already set his sights on the next matter—Ji Jia!
Previously, the Ji family had already been warned at their doorstep during the Fan family incident.
The Ji family wasn’t the Wang family. Unlike Wang Yuting, who had ties to Yang Tian, there was no reason for Yang Tian to spare them.
Master Ji was well aware of this too. When he witnessed Haowu’s demise, he realized the Ji family had placed a disastrously wrong bet!
His face turned ashen as he asked, "What... what do you want?"
"Want?"
Yang Tian didn’t bother responding to Master Ji; instead, he glanced at one of the n nearby, a governnt official, and suddenly asked, "What are the criminal penalties for assaulting a general under the law?"
The man imdiately straightened up and replied loudly, "Under the law, attacking a general constitutes a grave cri. Participants are directly sentenced to the death penalty, with co-conspirators punished with severe sentences ranging from 20 years to life imprisonnt!"
After finishing, the man looked at Yang Tian again and added, "General Yang is not only an imperial general but also a Dragon General! Ji Jia has undoubtedly violated the criminal statutes, and the punishnt will undoubtedly be more severe."
"Participants face the death penalty outright, while other implicated parties receive heavy sentences of 20 years to life imprisonnt. Even disciplinarians themselves may face stripping of their ranks."
These words echoed in Elder Ji’s ears like a bolt from the blue. Hearing this man declare such widespread culpability made the sentence seem catastrophic.
Thus, Elder Ji imdiately barked out, "How dare you!"
"Dare?" Yang Tian chuckled softly, his voice dripping with condescension. "You think my audacity needs questioning?"
"You..."
Elder Ji suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Yang Tian dared to kill anyone at will. What weight could these punishnts possibly carry?
Seeing Elder Ji rendered speechless, Yang Tian didn’t even bother acknowledging him further. He turned to the man and ordered, "Report the situation to the Land Departnt truthfully. Follow through with everything you just ntioned and execute judgent as per the law!"
"Understood!"
The man instantly replied with a crisp salute.
Yang Tian, seeing this, paid no attention to the proceedings anymore. He turned and strode out of the Emperor Dragon Villa, leaving the crowd staring in shock.
Even including Elder Ji, the family mbers paled and collapsed under the imnse pressure.
Watching Yang Tian’s silhouette gradually disappear, the guests quietly exhaled, casting sympathetic glances toward the Ji family.
To provoke Yang Tian—whether it be his unparalleled background or crushing power—was an act of sheer folly against the God of Killing.
However, one of the newly arrived law enforcers furrowed his brows slightly and muttered, "His approach doesn’t seem like that of soone who exterminated the Ji family."
Indeed!
No one had slaughtered the Ji family. This wasn’t reminiscent of the Yang Tian who wiped out 13 families in Binjiang or executed 8 prominent figures in the Su Province.
But at this mont, Yang Tian cared little about such deliberations.
After departing the Emperor Dragon Villa, he quickened his pace, his heartbeat intensifying with each step.
The sensation was strange!
Vaguely familiar yet deeply foreign!
And it was this peculiar feeling that had erged the instant he glimpsed Haowu’s thoughts—those scornful scenes involving Ji Yanran.
It seed like concern, but it was distinct from the care one might have for parents or siblings.
If Yang Tian weren’t confident in his Early-stage Nascent Soul-level powers, he might have feared soone had infiltrated the Emperor Dragon Villa without his detection.
