"Wha… . at?" The Head Deacon was completely baffled before flying into a rage, "B*st*rd! This old man was in my prime forty years ago and roamed the pugilistic world for decades, so why have I never heard of that name? Who in the world would dare to have such a nickname?!"

He then glared at Ling Tian with rage, "Brat, just who are you? You actually dare to come and play a fool in Bright Jade City? How bold! Apprehend him! If he dares to resist, kill him without mercy!" The final part of his sentence was an order given out to the Yu Family experts .

"Compa.s.sion is in my heart and killing is sinful . I didn't want to engage in killing, but all of you want to force my hand!" Ling Tian's old voice sounded, "Forget it, why is there a need to talk to all of you juniors? This old man shall take my leave!"

Ling Tian then turned around heavily like an old general who spent his life in the battlefield being forced to leave the battlefield, with his heroic career ending in loneliness and desolation . Anyone who saw this heavy figure of Ling Tian's would definitely feel their hearts turn heavy .

Ling Tian had already made a decision in his heart . If all else fails, he would have to take personal action to lead the Yu Family experts over .

"Stop him!" The Head Deacon roared .

"But… old senior Qin…" that White Jade expert was still in a daze .

"Pa!" A crisp slapping sound could be heard and the Head Deacon was enraged to the point he trembled, "Pig head! What old senior Qin? He is no more than a spy! Why can't you have some brains? If he was truly a friend of the Yu Family, would he come in the night sneakily without daring to show his true appearance? Darn b*st*rd!"

"Those who block me will die!" Ling Tian's voice changed and was filled with boundless killing intent . His advancing figure suddenly stopped and he made an action . His hand came out from his sleeves and after circulating his Divine Shocking Dragon Formula, it turned into a pure Yang cultivation formula . All of a sudden, his palms seem to be giving out a strange glow which gradually grew brighter and brighter like a miniature sun in the darkness .

Everyone stopped in shock . Just what kind of a martial art is this?

Ling Tian raised his hand up into the sky and with a swing of his arm, the fireball was shot out and a huge hole was blasted in a gigantic tree 30 feet away . Following that, black smoke could be seen coming out from it and it burst out into bright flames but shockingly remained standing .

He was actually able to send out fire from his palms! Not to mention seeing it before, none of them had even heard about such an ability!

What shocking martial arts!

The Head Deacon felt his face cramp up and a look of disbelief could be seen in his eyes . If one's own martial arts achieved an extremely profound depth, one would naturally be able to create fire by touching wood . This was something that the Head Deacon knew as a martial arts expert . Besides that, he himself would be able to set dry wood on fire if he touched the wood with his palms . However, which expert in the world would be able to set a tree on fire with a palm strike from 30 feet away?

This impossible miracle had happened right before his very eyes!

Even the publicly acknowledged number one expert in the world probably wouldn't be able to perform such a feat! However, this black-masked man in front of him was able to light up the tree with a flip of his palms . Furthermore, as the Head Deacon thought about the glowing ball of light on the black-masked man's palm, he couldn't help but be filled with unease . Could this black-masked man truly be a hidden martial arts expert?

If this black-masked man was truly an expert who secluded himself from the world, regardless of whether or not he knew their old Family Head, it was definitely not wise for them to offend him . Thus, the Head Deacon was rooted to the spot and didn't know what he should do .

Ling Tian lowered his palm down and the few thunderbeads had been kept back into his embrace . This was something which Ling Tian had extorted from Li Xue . This la.s.s had specially created the Tang Sect's thunderbeads and in his world where gunpowder had not been discovered yet, no one would even imagine that firearms such as thunderbeads would exist . Thus, the Head Deacon of the Yu Family would suspect that he is an otherworldly martial arts expert . However, Ling Tian was extremely dissatisfied with the invention of the gunpowder . While it was a great mark of the progress of human civilization, it had also caused a frightening calamity to the human race .

If this world had gunpowder as well, it would definitely be like his previous life, where more and more destructive weapons were created one after another, causing a greater number of casualties in wars .

Ling Tian was never an individual who would be concerned about the wellbeing of the commoners . He would make use of the knowledge and experience from his previous life to ensure that he could enjoy the largest number of benefits . However, this gunpowder that every transmigrator would create was something that he strictly prohibited . As long as gunpowder appears, the technological advancement of gunpowder would take place in a short few decades . At that time, the world would definitely s.h.i.+ft towards feudalism and slavery, leaving no way out for the commoners .

There were still swordsmen who would roam the pugilistic world to get rid of evil right now but when gunpowder or cannons are developed, an ordinary individual who has not trained in martial arts before would be able to kill an expert like Justice under certain conditions . Furthermore, gunpowder would definitely end up in the hands of those with authority .

At that time, what would be the point of bitterly training in martial arts for decades? From a certain viewpoint, Ling Tian absolutely hated the invention of gunpowder . If not for gunpowder making the Chinese feel that martial arts were useless, how would a China filled with experts ever suffer from the Eight-Nation Alliance humiliation? How would the darn j.a.panese be able to invade their nation for a full eight years? The decline of martial arts and the rise of gunpowder had caused millions of their Chinese comrades endless suffering!

While not all of these were caused by gunpowder, and it was also because of corrupt officials and incapable politicians, it was undeniable that gunpowder had caused Chinese martial arts to wane over the years .

Thus, Ling Tian had decided . Even if gunpowder would eventually be invented in this world, it must not come from his hands . Since he was in this world, he should at least keep to the rules of this world and respect the effort that thousands of years of experts had put into the refinement of their martial arts!

Thus, Ling Tian had very seriously warned Li Xue to not create anymore thunderbeads or any gunpowder related weapons . Mmm, if she were to accidentally make a batch in future, only Li Xue and Ling Chen would be allowed to use it . No one else would be allowed to use it or even come into contact with it . Because of this, Li Xue had looked at Ling Tian at disdain and cursed that he was trying to act so angelic despite trying to fight a war of hegemony . The outcome: Ling Tian spanking Li Xue in a fit of rage .

However, taking the gunpowder out at this moment was truly effective in scaring the Yu Family experts .

Looking at the nervous Yu Family experts in front of him, Ling Tian put on the demeanor of an otherworldly expert and said with pity, "It is best for all of you to not follow me . This old man truly does not want to kill anyone from the Yu Family . " At the same time, he thought to himself hatefully, While this daddy here really wants to kill all of you guys from the Yu Family, I can't do that now!

"I hope that Sir will give our Yu Family some face when you are in the city . At the very least, please give the late old Family Head some face . If not, even if we know that we aren't a match for Sir, we will have no choice but to fulfill our responsibilities . " After witnessing the heaven defying martial arts of the 'senior' in front of them, the Head Deacon gave in . Even if he had some doubts about the status of the person in front of him, his att.i.tude took a huge turn .

Even if he knew that the other party was lying to him about being a friend of his Old Family Head, it was best to just play along with the other party . After all, Bright Jade City was currently in a mess and if they were to provoke this expert in front of them, the consequences would be unimaginable! Offending such an expert would spell endless troubles for their Yu Family!

"En? That old man TianShan has pa.s.sed on already?! This old man feels that I can stay alive for a few more years . Why did he go onto the next life first?" Ling Tian lamented .

The Head Deacon replied respectfully, "If Sir a friend of our Old Family Head, you are naturally someone who has great fate with our Yu Family . Since you are here in Bright Jade City, allow us to play the part of a proper host!"

Ling Tian didn't give a reply and his figure drifted into the air like a feather in the wind . Only when he was in midair did his voice travel over, "What kind of fate do I have with you guys? Since Yu TianShan is no longer around, this old man has no more friends in Bright Jade City . If you want this old man to give your Yu Family some face, your Yu Family will have to show this old man some face first!" Ling Tian's voice resounded in the ears of the Yu Family experts but his figure had disappeared from their sights .

The Head Deacon looked at the direction where Ling Tian disappeared towards as he lamented over Ling Tian's unbelievable palm strike . To think that such frightening martial arts would actually exist in the world! He then turned around and asked, "Li Gang, who did you say he was?" Li Gang was the White Jade expert in the lead .

Li Gang hurriedly took a step forward and said respectfully, "This old senior Qin did indeed say that he was a friend of the old Family Head . His nickname is even more shocking: 'Immortal-like, deity-like, devil-like, unprecedented expert who grasped the three islands, five mountains, and everything in all directions' . This subordinate does not know if it is true or false . "

The Head Deacon responded with an 'Mmm' before saying seriously, "He is truly an otherworldly expert and it is best for us to not become enemies with him . Continue your patrols and this old man will go back to the Yu Residence . An expert suddenly appearing in the city is something that I must report to the Family Head immediately . " As he said that, he was about to leave .

"Head Deacon," an old man who followed the Head Deacon hurriedly called out, "If Head Deacon is going back to the Yu Residence, should our plan tonight…"

The Head Deacon pondered for a moment before replying, "How can we ignore second young n.o.ble's detailed plan? Delay the plan for two hours and this old man will be back soon . " With a flash, his figure had appeared in front of the previously burning tree and after staring at it for awhile, he disappeared into the night sky .

After traveling a short distance, Ling Tian looked behind and there was indeed no one following behind him . He couldn't help but let out a delighted smile as he thought, I wonder how Yu ManLou will react to this matter? I wonder if this ident.i.ty that I spontaneously created will be of any use? Or perhaps I can use it further…

After deliberating for a moment, Ling Tian took off his black mask and retrieved a human mask from his bosom . After putting it on, he flew towards the direction of third young n.o.ble Yu's courtyard .

The Yu Family .

"Qin s.h.i.+Huang?" Yu ManLou's brows were furrowed and his eyes were in deep thought . After a long while, he shook his head, "Old Family Head's friend? Furthermore, his martial arts have achieved such a height? This old man has not heard of someone like this in the world . Could it be a fake name?"

As though he was reminded by Yu ManLou, the Head Deacon slapped his thighs, "That's right, Family Head's vision is truly sharp . This old man had racked my brains just now but was unable to come up with anything . Family Head is brilliant indeed . Ah ah . "

Yu ManLou looked at the Head Deacon with a smile and was seemingly unmoved by his flattery . However, this glance from the Family Head made the Head Deacon's face burn in embarra.s.sment .

Yu ManLou paced around and asked, "Burning wood with his inner qi from thirty feet away . Furthermore, it wasn't dry wood but fresh living wood . Head Deacon, with your understanding of martial arts, just what kind of heights must one achieve in order to perform such a feat?"

"What kind of heights?" The Head Deacon frowned and said with difficulty, "According to what this old man knows, there isn't a martial arts realm capable of performing such a feat . Perhaps this old man is ignorant and has never heard of it . "

"Ignorant?" Yu ManLou's voice was slightly chilly, "Head Deacon has studied martial arts for plenty of years and has studied countless cultivation techniques in the world . You entered the Deacon's Hall ten years ago and have studied those martial arts that exist in the legends . I believe that even Beyond Heavens wouldn't have a larger martial arts collection than our Yu Family . If Head Deacon is ignorant, then there wouldn't be anyone worthy of calling themselves knowledgeable in martial arts!"

Yu ManLou turned around and placed his hands behind his back as a smile surfaced onto his lips, "I wonder if Head Deacon has thought of the matter from this angle: if this person is truly able to light up a tree from 30 feet away, he would probably be considered an immortal and far superior to the Martial Order Medallion owner, Justice . How would it be possible for such a heaven-shaking figure to be completely unheard of in the world? Doesn't Head Deacon find this matter strange?"

"Perhaps he has appeared before but used another name? Or perhaps…" The Head Deacon's voice became softer as he understood what Yu ManLou meant . Regardless of what his ident.i.ty was, such a character would definitely be world famous . As long as he had previously appeared in the world, even if he did not leave behind his name, he should still be remembered by the world .

However, there had never been such a figure who appeared in the past thousand years . What did this mean?

Yu ManLou smiled and came to a conclusion, "Thus, this person must definitely be someone we know who is trying to play us like a fool . As for burning the tree from 30 feet away, while it seems like an impossible feat, it would be achievable if he made some tricks on the tree beforehand . There isn't anything impossible in the world . I would never believe that someone would be able to achieve such martial arts height in the world!"

Yu ManLou paused for a moment and looked at the Head Deacon, "The truth is that you were most likely tricked!"

The Head Deacon's drying up old face has suddenly turned as red as a baboon's behind! A ball of fury burned in his heart! He had roamed unhindered in the pugilistic world for decades and was actually tricked by someone in his old age . He was completely ashamed and wanted to find a hole to hide in . He was not a foolish individual and after hearing what Yu ManLou had said as well as the depth of his martial arts knowledge, he realized that it was truly something unrealistic!

"If this person isn't Ling Tian, he should be someone from Above Heavens . I think that the former is more likely . " Yu ManLou said with a smile and a.n.a.lyzed, "In any case, he will not be Justice and Beyond Heavens wouldn't play such a trick . It is very likely that he isn't too old either, and that's why I think that it is more likely to be Ling Tian . "

"That little animal Ling Tian! If this old man catches him, I will definitely rip him to shreds!" The Head Deacon clenched his teeth and puffed angrily . After rus.h.i.+ng back to make a report to Yu ManLou, he had not only missed the best time for the plan but was also completely played like a fool . The more he thought about it, the angrier he became . Thinking about the actions and bearing of the other party, the Head Deacon also felt that Yu ManLou's conjecture must definitely be accurate .

"We can't rush this matter . " Yu ManLou shook his head, "Since Ling Tian has the courage to appear, he would have definitely made preparations and will definitely have a follow-up action . Perhaps he does not have any goals besides putting on such a play and only did it in a fit of excitement . Or perhaps he was afraid of us messing up his plans and thus making such a risky move as a stop-gap measure . Regardless of what it is, his gamble has paid off . "

"Family Head is trying to say that Ling Tian will definitely take action tonight?" The Head Deacon asked .

"That's right! Not only will he take action, but his action won't be a small one for sure . " Yu ManLou's eyes gleamed, "When facing this teen, you must not be careless . You can return first and monitor the entire city . This old man will immediately gather all the subdivision heads and order them to join you . Tonight, this old man will definitely make Ling Tian become a victim of his own smartness! Taking a risk and leaving things up to luck will never amount to great things!"

"Yes, Family Head . " The Head Deacon acknowledged and wanted to walk out .

"Wait!" Yu ManLou waved his hands, "If Ling Tian appears with the status of this Qin s.h.i.+Huang again, you should pretend to believe him and stall for time . "

The Head Deacon felt startled as he thought, With his goal accomplished, why would he use this status again? However, he didn't dare to rebut Yu ManLou's words and left after acknowledging that order .

Yu ManLou looked out towards the night sky and muttered to himself with delight, "Ling Tian is probably feeling extremely delighted over being able to scare the Head Deacon with this little trick of his . Since he is feeling delighted, how would he not use this status to show off his prestige again? Regardless of how wise he is, he is still a fifteen-year-old teen!" With a sneer, Yu ManLou's eyes turned cold and filled with killing intent, "A young man is just too tender!"

He then walked towards the door and shouted, "Men! Gather all the subdivision heads to meet me now! There must be no delay!"

. . .

There were still a few lamps being lit in Yu LiuShui's courtyard and someone was still awake .

Ling Tian was dressed in black and hidden in the vegetation . His eyes were fixed on the light spilling out of the window and a dense killing intent filled his heart .

Above Heavens, since you guys want to take my life, I will give all of you an unforgettable lesson! As the moon climbed up into the sky, Ling Tian estimated the time in his heart . Yu LiuShui's action is probably starting soon, right?

The night sky was filled with drifting clouds and wasn't cloudless like last night . Thus, this was also the time when the night was the darkest and the best time for the 'nightwalkers' to appear .

Painful groans could be heard coming out from the window and while it was extremely soft, it spread out far in the silent light . It was as though someone was trying to bear with an extreme amount of pain .

Ling Tian's eyes were shut lightly as he leaned on the tree branch and enjoyed the night breeze . As the branch swayed slightly in the winds, Ling Tian looked extremely carefree and didn't have a trace of anxiousness . If was as though he was playing on a swing and looked extremely contented .

From afar, a few 'sou sou' sounds could be heard and there were many nightwalkers approaching his location . Ling Tian's mouth curved up slightly but he remained stationary .

The sounds of figures breaking through the air stopped from afar and more than forty Yu Family experts appeared in Ling Tian's divine sense, forming a circle and slowly surrounding this area .

Ling Tian praised in his heart . This Head Deacon's commands are truly commendable . Knowing that he would alert the enemy if he were to openly approach the courtyard, he slowly formed an encirclement . While it was slower, it was the most effective method .

The one closest to Ling Tian's hiding spot was now no less than 500 feet away and the one furthest away was about 700 feet away . The time is about right . Ling Tian began to count down in his heart, "Three, two, one…" Ling Tian's figure then slid down from the tree branch and his figure appeared in front of the wall of the courtyard without a sound . Circulating his inner qi, Ling Tian flipped over the wall nimbly without even a change in the shadows of the surroundings .

Everything happened silently, and Ling Tian was like a ghost entering the courtyard without moving a single blade of gra.s.s or leaf .

The painful groans still sounded from the room with the lamp lit and at this moment, a cloud drifted past and covered the moon . The surroundings immediately turned dark and Ling Tian had made use of this momentary darkness to cover 60 feet of distance, sticking himself below the window of the room like a lizard .

Raising his right hand up, a black short blade gleamed in his hand . Listening carefully, there didn't seem to be any other sounds apart from the painful groans of the person bearing with pain . Ling Tian no longer hesitated and with a swing of his blade, the window was slid open . After Ling Tian flipped into the room and entered the building, the room fell completely silent .

I would never believe that someone would be able to achieve such martial arts height in the world Yu ManLou paused for a moment and looked at the Head Deacon, The truth is that you were most likely tricked The Head Deacon s drying up old face has suddenly turned as red as a baboon s behind A ball of fury burned in his heart He had roamed unhindered in the pugilistic world for decades and was actually tricked by someone in his old age . He was completely ashamed and wanted to find a hole to hide in . He was not a foolish individual and after hearing what Yu ManLou had said as well as the depth of his martial arts knowledge, he realized that it was truly something unrealistic If this person isn t Ling Tian, he should be someone from Above Heavens . I think that the former is more likely . Yu ManLou said with a smile and a.n.a.lyzed, In any case, he will not be Justice and Beyond Heavens wouldn t play such a trick . It is very likely that he isn t too old either, and that s why I think that it is more likely to be Ling Tian . That little animal Ling Tian If this old man catches him, I will definitely rip him to shreds The Head Deacon clenched his teeth and puffed angrily . After rus.h.i.+ng back to make a report to Yu ManLou, he had not only missed the best time for the plan but was also completely played like a fool . The more he thought about it, the angrier he became . Thinking about the actions and bearing of the other party, the Head Deacon also felt that Yu ManLou s conjecture must definitely be accurate . We can t rush this matter . Yu ManLou shook his head, Since Ling Tian has the courage to appear, he would have definitely made preparations and will definitely have a follow up action . Perhaps he does not have any goals besides putting on such a play and only did it in a fit of excitement . Or perhaps he was afraid of us messing up his plans and thus making such a risky move as a stop gap measure . Regardless of what it is, his gamble has paid off . Family Head is trying to say that Ling Tian will definitely take action tonight The Head Deacon asked . That s right Not only will he take action, but his action won t be a small one for sure . Yu ManLou s eyes gleamed, When facing this teen, you must not be careless . You can return first and monitor the entire city . This old man will immediately gather all the subdivision heads and order them to join you . Tonight, this old man will definitely make Ling Tian become a victim of his own smartness Taking a risk and leaving things up to luck will never amount to great things Yes, Family Head . The Head Deacon acknowledged and wanted to walk out . Wait Yu ManLou waved his hands, If Ling Tian appears with the status of this Qin s.h.i.+Huang again, you should pretend to believe him and stall for time . The Head Deacon felt startled as he thought, With his goal accomplished, why would he use this status again However, he didn t dare to rebut Yu ManLou s words and left after acknowledging that order . Yu ManLou looked out towards the night sky and muttered to himself with delight, Ling Tian is probably feeling extremely delighted over being able to scare the Head Deacon with this little trick of his . Since he is feeling delighted, how would he not use this status to show off his prestige again Regardless of how wise he is, he is still a fifteen year old teen With a sneer, Yu ManLou s eyes turned cold and filled with killing intent, A young man is just too tender He then walked towards the door and shouted, Men Gather all the subdivision heads to meet me now There must be no delay . . . There were still a few lamps being lit in Yu LiuShui s courtyard and someone was still awake . Ling Tian was dressed in black and hidden in the vegetation . His eyes were fixed on the light spilling out of the window and a dense killing intent filled his heart . Above Heavens, since you guys want to take my life, I will give all of you an unforgettable lesson As the moon climbed up into the sky, Ling Tian estimated the time in his heart . Yu LiuShui s action is probably starting soon, right The night sky was filled with drifting clouds and wasn t cloudless like last night . Thus, this was also the time when the night was the darkest and the best time for the nightwalkers to appear . Painful groans could be heard coming out from the window and while it was extremely soft, it spread out far in the silent light . It was as though someone was trying to bear with an extreme amount of pain . Ling Tian s eyes were shut lightly as he leaned on the tree branch and enjoyed the night breeze . As the branch swayed slightly in the winds, Ling Tian looked extremely carefree and didn t have a trace of anxiousness . If was as though he was playing on a swing and looked extremely contented . From afar, a few sou sou sounds could be heard and there were many nightwalkers approaching his location . Ling Tian s mouth curved up slightly but he remained stationary . The sounds of figures breaking through the air stopped from afar and more than forty Yu Family experts appeared in Ling Tian s divine sense, forming a circle and slowly surrounding this area . Ling Tian praised in his heart . This Head Deacon s commands are truly commendable . Knowing that he would alert the enemy if he were to openly approach the courtyard, he slowly formed an encirclement . While it was slower, it was the most effective method . The one closest to Ling Tian s hiding spot was now no less than 500 feet away and the one furthest away was about 700 feet away . The time is about right . Ling Tian began to count down in his heart, Three, two, one Ling Tian s figure then slid down from the tree branch and his figure appeared in front of the wall of the courtyard without a sound . Circulating his inner qi, Ling Tian flipped over the wall nimbly without even a change in the shadows of the surroundings . Everything happened silently, and Ling Tian was like a ghost entering the courtyard without moving a single blade of gra.s.s or leaf . The painful groans still sounded from the room with the lamp lit and at this moment, a cloud drifted past and covered the moon . The surroundings immediately turned dark and Ling Tian had made use of this momentary darkness to cover 60 feet of distance, sticking himself below the window of the room like a lizard . Raising his right hand up, a black short blade gleamed in his hand . Listening carefully, there didn t seem to be any other sounds apart from the painful groans of the person bearing with pain . Ling Tian no longer hesitated and with a swing of his blade, the window was slid open . After Ling Tian flipped into the room and entered the building, the room fell completely silent .
