You should know, right now, they aren’t the only ones staring at Yang Tian.
It’s just that everyone was too afraid of each other back then, so they hesitated to act. As a result, they were beaten to the punch by outsiders.
Even now, many regret not acting decisively. Nothing’s stopping them anymore, yet they still can’t make a move!
Yet, faced with Xia Bai’s greedy gaze, Yang Tian seed either completely oblivious or genuinely naïve, as though unacquainted with human treachery. With a calm smile, he replied, "What is that supposed to an?"
"What? Heh, don’t play dumb! Hand over all the treasures you have on you, and we might consider letting you go. Otherwise, hahaha! I’m afraid your very soul will remain here today!"
Xia Bai sneered, his eyes gleaming as he glanced toward Yang Tian’s blade. "And don’t forget this prized blade of yours. Break your bond with it and surrender it to first."
"So, you’ve taken a liking to Heaven Splitting!"
Hearing Xia Bai’s words, Yang Tian smiled faintly. Without hesitation, he gently tossed the blade into his hand from above.
Seeing this, Xia Bai imdiately grinned and said, "Exactly... exactly! Seems you are indeed sensible. If that’s the case, I would hate to offend such a precious blade."
With that, Xia Bai arrogantly stepped forward, preparing to seize the blade.
But just as he took a step, Yang Tian suddenly sighed and shook his head. "What a pity. You’re not a clever man."
"Not a clever man? What do you an by that?"
Xia Bai was initially stunned but then howled with laughter. "What? You plan to resist? Hahaha! Are you out of your mind? Didn’t you notice there are five of us? You think you can resist us?!"
"Big Brother, stop wasting ti talking to him! Kill him, and it’ll all be ours!"
A more impatient disciple, evidently frustrated, shouted imdiately.
But Xia Bai put on a magnanimous air, waving his hand, saying, "Brothers, don’t rush. Let us show so class, after all. Since Musi wants to resist, I’ll give him that opportunity."
Finishing his speech, Xia Bai arrogantly stared at Yang Tian and continued, "Musi, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. You can try to resist once. If you succeed, we won’t stop you. You can leave freely. However, if you fail, don’t bla us for being rciless!"
"Oh, by the way! I almost forgot to tell you—the so-called success ans you must drive all five of us back. Not just ! Hahaha!"
As Xia Bai finished, he burst out laughing.
Those who were covertly observing around them shook their heads upon hearing his words.
Clearly, in their eyes, Xia Bai was simply toying with Yang Tian to ensure his triumph!
After all, apart from the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, every other disciple from the Northern Region who entered this secret realm was at the sa cultivation stage!
How could one person possibly repel five?
It sounded like a delusion!
If that were possible, wouldn’t this person have attracted attention already? Most likely, he would’ve been taken down by the Divine Sword Sect!
"Listen to , everyone!"
While Xia Bai mocked Yang Tian, Chen Yi, one of the key disciples of Yao Wang Hall, whispered to the fellow disciples behind him, "When Musi makes his move, Xia Bai might ambush him and recklessly attack! That will be our golden opportunity to locate what’s missing. Follow my orders then, and we’ll surely grab Mu Yi’s corpse!"
"Got it, Brother!"
The other disciples of Yao Wang Hall nodded in unison, their faces filled with admiration.
Chen Yi smirked coldly. "This is the classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
But soon...
"Dead... dead?! What... just happened?!"
Watching as Xia Bai and the other Wuxiang disciples collapsed one after another under Yang Tian’s blade, no longer breathing, the lead disciple of Yao Wang Hall, Chen Yi, froze in place.
The four disciples behind him were entirely stupefied!
None of them reacted. What just happened?
They hadn’t even considered the possibility that Xia Bai and the others could die!
In fact, they weren’t the only ones caught off guard. Even Xia Bai himself, despite lying lifeless on the ground, still wore a stiff smirk on his face.
No doubt, even in their final thoughts, they were still dreaming of seizing Yang Tian’s treasures!
To die so steeped in greed!
Unfortunately, they had picked the wrong person!
The reason Yang Tian stood out so vividly in this secret realm, all alone, was not because he was naive to the dangers of this world!
It was because of power!
You heard right!
Yang Tian possessed the strength to crush all in this shadowy, secret domain!
Rember, among the elite disciples entering this mysterious realm, albeit from various factions, even Su Yi and the others only reached the early to mid stage of Divine Separation.
They were foundation-stage disciples, re Nascent Soul cultivators during the Primordial Era!
But Yang Tian? He was a formidable Tribulation Crossing master!
Even under the constraints of the Heaven and Earth Laws within the Truth Domain, for them, he was akin to a towering tree in the heavens.
Attempting to rob Yang Tian was no different from a mayfly shaking a tree!
It was a death wish!
So, in the very next mont, after Yang Tian slaughtered Xia Bai and the others, his indifferent gaze slowly shifted toward the corner where the Yao Wang Hall disciples were.
Instantly, Chen Yi and the others felt utterly feeble, their faces going pale with confusion!
Thud!
Nobody knew who kneeled first. They only heard a low, dull sound as the lead disciple, unable to withstand the oppressive aura in Yang Tian’s eyes, dropped to the ground.
Soon, the second—and then the third...
Eventually, Chen Yi himself knelt before Yang Tian, his face filled with dread and his voice trembling. "Musi... Brother Mu, we... we don’t have anything else!"
"Oh, really?" Yang Tian asked softly, glancing at Chen Yi.
Bang!
Chen Yi felt as though his head had been hit by a speeding train. Blood imdiately burst from his ears, nostrils, eyes, and mouth.
Then ca a sickening crack. Chen Yi’s entire skull exploded like a waterlon.
Red and white brain matter splattered everywhere.
The scene, littered with corpses like Xia Bai’s, resembled a hell on earth!
Amidst this carnage, Yang Tian, clad in black, calmly strode past the fallen disciples of Yao Wang Hall. Those who had yet to rise found themselves flattened to the ground alongside their comrades.
As he stepped atop the blade that hovered above Xia Bai’s corpse, Yang Tian retrieved Heaven Splitting.
Whoosh!!
The mont Yang Tian finally left, nearly everyone collapsed to the ground as though a massive weight had been removed.
However, none could shake the terror in their hearts as they watched Yang Tian execute an entire group of rogue disciples in one sweep—killing Chen Yi with barely a glance.
"This... this man cannot be provoked! Rashamon... Rashamon Sect is far too deep a pool to tread!"
Many couldn’t help but co to the sa conclusion!
...
On the next leg of his journey, no one dared block Yang Tian’s path.
Eventually, Yang Tian reached the outer edge of the secret realm’s core smoothly.
According to the earlier words of Mr. Xu and Mr. Liu, even the entry order into this realm was highly significant!
After all, this secret domain was laden with countless treasures and opportunities. Those who entered first naturally stood to gain the most!
As such, all the disciples were divided into three tiers based on their entry sequence.
The first tier undoubtedly consisted of the disciples of the Northern Region’s hegemon, the Divine Sword Sect.
Yang Tian’s Luosa Sect, along with others he had encountered earlier—such as Wuxiang Sect, Xia Bai, Yao Wangdian, and Chen Yi—belonged to the weakest third tier.
