Chapter 3074 - Humiliation of the Entire Clan
Chapter 3074 – Humiliation of the Entire Clan
“Fine, you’re decisive!” Li Fan no longer hesitated. “I’ve had enough of living in fear and worrying. I’ll stay on the Sun to recover since there’s no other way. We can talk about the rest if I survive.”
“Let’s go. All you have left is your cosmic chart. Can you still use the Myriadpath Celestial Formation?” Tianming asked.
“Yes.”
Thus, Tianming sent him to the Sun.
“From now on, you’ll be a lone taint in Myriadpath Valley,” Li Fan said as he left.
“Of course I will. What else would I be, a single dog like you?” Tianming laughed.
“…Take care! It’s an honor to have turned from enemies to friends. I hope you survive in Myriadpath Valley,” Li Fan said. He was moved by Tianming’s actions.
“Fingers crossed.”
Because he was delayed by an entire month, Tianming quickly returned to Myriadpath Valley. “I may be all alone, but it’s easier this way!” He stared at the black hole-like world under the myriadpath steles, his eyes fiery.
……
The day Huang Daoxiong died, news of his death was immediately sent back to Myriadpath Valley through transmission stones. In fact, Reverend Daolie knew that Zhao Ge, Tao Ying, and his son had intercepted Tianming. He had even approved of their actions. Huang Daoxiong had been waiting for Tianming at the Myriadpath Celestial Formation for over half a year. During that period of time, Reverend Daolie had his people monitor Reverend Lan Yun. He had nothing to worry about as long as Lan Yun wasn’t there to pick up Tianming.
With what he knew about Tianming’s strength, Zhao Ge and Tao Ying should have had no difficulty killing Tianming even if the latter made a recent breakthrough. Reverend Daolie, Reverend Qingyuan, and the rest of the House Huang all thought so. According to the rules of Myriadpath Valley, it would be ridiculous for an elder like him to personally take the life of Tianming, a disciple of Reverend Lan Yun, even if he had been humiliated. Leaving it to the children was also a way to train them. It was the unspoken rule of Myriadpath Valley. Reverend Daolie was confident that he could force Reverend Lan Yun to accept the painful loss if Tianming were to be killed in the fight. However, the House Huang received an inconceivable piece of news.
“What?!”
Upon hearing the report, the red lion-like Reverend Daolie vomited blood. Fire swept across the sky and it shook with Reverend Daolie’s loud roar.
“That’s impossible! Are Zhao Ge and Tao Ying useless?! Tenth-level cosmic cartographers!” Many elders from House Huang stood up in astonishment. The ancient houses had a strong foundation and many experts.
“It’s true. Many people witnessed it. They say that Li Tianming is so agile that even a foundationeer might fail to catch him. He played with Zhao Ge and Tao Ying, and killed more than a dozen gold ring disciples.”
If only one person reported it, they would doubt the news, but it must be true if everyone said so.
“Xiong’er!”
His son’s death was a fact. Even his subsoul had shattered.
“How dare a black ring disciple provoke House Huang! If we don’t kill him, we won’t be able to lift our heads in Myriadpath Valley!”
“That black ring disciple is too bold! He’s too reckless! Lan Yun must be regretting her decision to accept the bastard!”
“Daolie! Reverend Qingyuan and Reverend Shujian’s disciples are also dead. You have to kill that kid even if Lan Yun goes crazy, and you must do it quickly. Every day he’s alive is a day House Huang endures humiliation!”
Although Reverend Daolie was the head of House Huang, there were still other elders above him. He had to take their opinions into consideration. “Hmph!” He stood up and left. Others were afraid to approach him due to the ferocious aura exuded by his burly figure.
“A little bastard from an ordinary mundus!” It was impossible for such an identity to attract the attention and anger of a respected person like him. By coincidence, the minor pathkeeper’s presence in the Skyward Grandpath prevented him from killing Tianming. And as soon as the minor pathkeeper had left, Lan Yun appeared, preventing him from crushing the ant to death. Although it was a little embarrassing, Lan Yun was indeed trouble, so he planned for the juniors to handle Tianming according to his usual method. In Myriadpath Valley, there were often black ring disciples who died from that “method,” but this time something had gone wrong, resulting in a fatal consequence.
“It’s fine if my son died in the hands of a gold ring disciple of the same level. There’s no shame in that! But now, word’s spread that my son and more than a dozen other gold ring disciples were killed by a hundred-year-old black ring disciple in front of two bodyguards! How humiliating!”
Dying wasn’t an issue; bringing shame to the entire House Huang was the root of the elders’ anger.
“Two thousand clan members and three thousand subordinate clan members have all been humiliated! And I, as the head of the clan, have the greatest responsibility!”
Compared to House Huang’s shame, the grudge forged by his son’s death was nothing.
“So no matter what you think, Lan Yun, that disciple of yours must die! People will talk about him as long as he lives, and House Huang will be a joke!”
Reverend Daolie went directly to Reverend Qingyuan and Reverend Shujian, who had also been humiliated by the loss of their disciples.
“I’ll leave that little bastard to you. If Lan Yun dares to cause trouble, we’ll get rid of her together!”
“Your agreement is all I need.” Reverend Daolie nodded. The dignified reverend led a dozen foundationeers to guard the entrance of the Skyward Grandpath in wait for Tianming.
“Does anyone know where that brat came from? He might be too afraid to return! Investigate him!”
Soon after, Reverend Daolie received the information. The Greenhaze Mundus! He quickly sent a third-level foundationeer to locate it.
The news that Reverend Daolie was going to kill a black ring holder under a hundred years old quickly spread. What an incredible story! Although Tianming had ranked first on the Skyward Ranking and had almost been slaughtered by Reverend Daolie as a result, it’d failed to catch the attention of Myriadpath Valley cultivators. But this time, his name was known throughout the entire valley. In no time at all, many learned of the existence of a black ring troublemaker.
House Huang had indeed been humiliated and had to avoid others when they left their houses for fear of being asked questions regarding the matter. How were they to answer? None of them could.
