Chapter 88 Li Tian

  The man sitting in the first seat listened to the old man below finish speaking.

  "Then you asked, since you said you also went to find Shao Qing, what exactly happened on the way? Did you discover any clues or threads? And do you know the names of these core disciples, including the name of this inner door disciple? I want you to investigate every lead thoroughly and not let go of a single thread."

  "I reported back to the master, after young master left for three hours, I also followed the road to Dan Xuan Gate and searched carefully. We found that a fight had occurred in a forest, and judging from the time of damage, it should coincide with the time of young master's death."

  "I suspect that it was the core disciples of Danxuan Gate who killed Young Master. At that time, we didn't dare to think that Young Master would meet with disaster. We only knew that Young Master had met with disaster and had passed away after receiving the family's long-distance transmission. So, we suspected that the place where they fought was where Young Master fell. However, when we went to investigate, there wasn't even a hint of Young Master's presence left behind. If Young Master were killed by someone, it's impossible for him not to leave behind any aura. But at the scene, except for the marks of battle, nothing else was left behind."

  "The Danxuan Gate, you killed my son, I will completely destroy you. This time we sent out the black-clad dare-to-die squad to intercept those who participated in the selection of disciples from the Danxuan Gate on their way. Although only a small part was intercepted, many people still participated in this selection. We lost dozens of people, and I suspect that someone returned to the Danxuan Gate ahead of time to inform them, which is why we suffered such losses. I must make our Bi family's power surpass that of the Danxuan Gate." The man sitting in the first seat spoke wildly;

  "The master of the house is mighty, and will definitely bring the Bi family to its most glorious period. At that time, our Bi family will surpass the Dan Xuan Gate and become the fifth largest force in the Northern Domain. At that time, the Dan Xuan Gate will also be eliminated by us. The Tianchi Kingdom only needs one Bi family," said the three old men flattering below;

  "You three, go to Huang City and investigate the core disciples of Dan Xuan Gate. Also, find out about the inner gate disciple's background. If necessary, kill them. Don't spare anyone who had conflicts with Shao Qing that day. As long as I break through the second layer of Tian Ling Heaven, I can surpass Shi Zhongshan, the current master of Dan Xuan Gate. After the old master died, Shi Zhongshan is the only one left with the highest strength in Dan Xuan Gate, which is also at the first layer of Tian Ling Heaven. Once I break through the second layer, our Bi family will completely surpass them. However, it's too difficult to break through each layer of Tian Ling Heaven. I've been stuck on this level for 60 years and still can't break through. Shi Zhongshan has also been at the first layer for about 50-60 years. You three must be careful on your trip and try to strike Dan Xuan Gate's disciples if possible."

  "Yes, Master, the master will definitely break through the second heaven of Tianling in the shortest time and lead the family to the peak. We three will go to Huang Cheng now and continue to investigate the young master's matter. If there is any situation, we will send a message back from afar."

  "Alright, you can go down now. I originally wanted to punish you three for not protecting your master well, which led to the death of Shao Qing. Although you won't be put to death, you will still face severe punishment. For this time, the distribution of resources and supplies to your families will be suspended for half a year. However, if you can find out who killed Shao Qing, I might consider lifting the ban earlier," said the man sitting in the main seat to the three of them.

  "We are willing to accept our punishment, sir," they said, and the three of them bowed their heads and backed out, never daring to look up, and left the hall with their heads still bowed.

  "Shadow Thief, come out," said the man sitting in the first seat after the three people left, "he suddenly spoke to the air;

  A black shadow suddenly emerged from the void, silently and quietly appearing out of nowhere. "Master, what are your orders?" The shadow that emerged from the void said to the tall man in front of him.

  "This time, you also go to Huang City to take a look. Is it that the Lord of Huang City has reneged on our alliance between us? You go and investigate, I suspect whether it is the Lord of Huang City who made the move. Only someone with the power of the Earth Spirit Realm can kill a person without leaving any breath behind. Even if the core disciples of Dan Xuan Men were to make a move, they wouldn't be able to leave no trace of Shaoying's aura. Also, take this opportunity to investigate those few core disciples. The three of them are not enough to find out. You have the power of mid-True Martial Arts, and you can fight against ordinary late-stage martial artists. This time, go and thoroughly investigate this matter. As for that inner sect disciple, just kill him directly, regardless of whether he is related to this matter or not. He dared to defy Shaoying's intentions in a public place, and on this point alone, he deserves to die."

  "Yes, master, when shall I depart?" said Stealing Shadow.

  "Leave now, remember not to startle the snake in the grass, just carry out your plan secretly. Your Shadow Step skill is most suitable for hiding in the shadows, even if someone is one level higher than you, they may not be able to detect you. Pay attention to what's going on at Huang City, see who the city lord has been in contact with recently. Now go!"

  "It's the master," and with that, the figure flashed and disappeared.

  "Come in," shouted the man sitting on the first seat;

  A middle-aged man hastily came in from outside the door and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

  "From now on, stop providing all cultivation resources that are unfavorable to the young master and his family. Recently, I will be in seclusion, striving to break through to the Second Heaven of Tianling within a short period of time. This is a jade marrow, with my soul seal imprinted on it. Unless it's an extremely important matter, don't look for me. If something big happens, just crush this jade marrow and I will know."

  "There's also the possibility that the young master will return soon, and when he does, just tell him that his brother is in seclusion. This time, their sect sent him out to gain experience and he happened to come back to visit. It's best not to let him know about Shaoying's matter, if he finds out, he'll directly go find those core disciples for revenge. I'm afraid that some of the old-timers in Danxuan Gate will take action, and Shaoyu's temper is also explosive. Once she knows her brother was killed by someone, she'll definitely go seek revenge. For now, let's keep this matter hidden for a while. Shaoyu has been developing well in their sect over the past few years, I'm afraid he's already at the mid-stage of True Martial Arts. Unfortunately, Shaoying is dead," the tall man said with gritted teeth and hatred when mentioning Shaoying;

  "Yes, master of the house. If the eldest young master asks about the second young master's situation, this matter will definitely not be able to be concealed. This time, how long can the eldest young master stay at home? If it's a short period of time, I might be able to cover it up, but if it's too long, it'll be hard to conceal." said the middle-aged man standing below.

  "How long it takes is how long it takes, this time the Fire Sect has sent all these disciples out to gain experience. I reckon this time it won't be just Shaoyu returning alone. If there are other Fire Sect disciples, you must treat them well and not neglect them. We still hope to form an alliance with the Fire Sect in the future, which is also why I sent Shaoyu to the Fire Sect," the tall man instructed.

  "Don't worry, master, I'll take good care of them. Maybe they'll just stay for a day or two and then leave, so you can rest assured and close the door. I'll handle things here," said the middle-aged man.

  "With you handling things, I can rest assured. If it weren't for you all these years, our family wouldn't have developed so quickly. You've been working hard all this time, spending most of your time managing the family's internal affairs without any personal gain. I've seen all of this, and as soon as I break through to the Second Heaven of the Sky Spirit, I'll completely set you free. At that time, you can choose from all the cultivation resources of our family, and I also hope you can continue to accompany me on my path to greatness." The tall man comforted the man below him;

  "Master, I'm serious. If it weren't for Master saving my life back then, I wouldn't be alive today. Even if it means risking my life for the family now, I won't hesitate. The master's affairs are my affairs. As long as I, Li Tian, am still around, I will do my best to assist Master in conquering the world soon. At that time, I, Li Tian, will also be happy for Master," said Li Tian.

  "Li Tian, although I saved your life back then, what you've done over the years has already exceeded the value of saving your life. Although you're an outsider and not a direct disciple of Bi's, I've never treated you as an outsider, so I'm very at ease with what you do. Now that family matters are taken care of, I'll go into seclusion," the tall man said before walking away.

  "Escorting the host home", Li Tianyi said at the beginning;
