Birds chirped as the first rays of sunlight fell into the courtyard.
'Creak'
A figure in a black robe stepped out of the room, his gaze was drawn to the lone tree at the center of the courtyard. Its leaves fluttered as a bird flew away to the sky.
Andy's gaze was fixed on the bird when a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard drew his attention.
"It's about time," he grumbled as he opened the door to see a figure standing in front of him. It was an elderly man, with wrinkles covering his face and his hair disheveled as if he had just escaped from a fight. While his hand was holding a sack with blood dripping from it.
"Young Master," he said creepily to Andy, his black eyes fixed on the masked figure in front of him. He let out a long sigh before tossing the sack at Andy.
Andy said nothing, but his gaze was drawn to five heads on the ground.
When he saw the beheaded heads, his brow furrowed. It was the heads of a middle-aged woman and Young Master Lin, among others.
His attention was drawn to the man in front of him, who was staring at him with hopeful eyes.
Andy smirked, and a fist-sized yellow stone appeared in his hand, which he threw at that man.
That man's eyes were fixed on stone as he hurriedly caught it. His eyes went wide as he murmured,
"Spiritual Stone? High Tier Spiritual Stone?" As he bowed to Andy, his hands squeezed the stone tightly. Spiritual stones are extremely useful to cultivators, and it is extremely rare to find a mid-tier spiritual stone, let alone a High Tier Spiritual stone. One High-Level spiritual stone is equal to one hundred mid-tier spiritual stones.
"Take these heads away and inform the manager of Phoenix Pavilion to meet me," Andy said to the man in front of him before turning around to leave, taking one last look at the heads.
"Yes, Young Master," the old man said in a creepy voice, quickly gathering the heads and fleeing.
Andy approached the tree, his gaze fixed on the scars on the trunk.
After a while, his gaze was drawn to his hand, where a bright and sharp blade hovered above his palm.
"Finally," he murmured, but the blade quickly dispersed as the creak of the door reached his ears.
Shi Yi emerged from one room, but she came to a halt as her gaze was fixed on him.
Her fists clenched as she subconsciously bit her lips before her eyes were drawn to one direction to see Su Xin in her green robes step out of her room.
Her brows relaxed as she walked towards her and bowed to her, and a sense of reverence was born in her heart.
"Good Morning, Mam"
Su Xin was taken aback for a moment before nodding to Shi Yi.
Andy's gaze was fixed on two ladies in front of him, his lips curled upward before his attention was drawn to the footsteps behind him.
When he turned around, he saw a slightly chubby man panting while standing straight and looking at Andy.
"Young Master, you asked for me?" The man wondered aloud as he took a deep breath.
Andy's eyes narrowed as he noticed the figure in front of him. He didn't expect Feng Hao, the pavilion manager for the Black Dragon Continent, to rush up to him.
"Why are you here?" Andy took a step forward, his hands behind his back.
Feng Hao' was stunned for a moment before his mouth opened and closed a few times, but no sound came out of it. But, finally, he said.
"Didn't you call me?" His face was befuddled.
"I asked the local manager; in any case, it's good that you are here." a simple ring appeared in his hand, which he threw at Feng Hao.
The pavilion manager caught the ring, his eyes flashing as he looked at Andy. The ring in his hand is one of the interspatial rings, which are scarce in the lower world; only a few people in this world could own this ring.
"As expected," he murmured as his consciousness entered the ring.
"Th... This?" He gulped as he stammered, the ring brimming with heaps of High Tier Spiritual stones. Even though he is the Manager of the Phoenix Pavillion for the Black Dragon Continent, he rarely comes across High-tier spiritual stones; they are a rarity in the lower world. Even the old monsters would fight for a piece of stone. Moreover, there is now a mountain of spiritual stones in the ring.
"Why are you so surprised? I'm not giving it to you. Simply distribute to anyone who killed the members of that Family. I don't want to deal with so many people. It is up to you to decide how to distribute the resources. You may keep whatever is left."
Feng Hao was stunned for a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "I will do as you wish, but you must be careful." His brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on Andy.
"For what?" Andy smirked. He understood what Feng Hao meant. The Lin Family's daughter is one of the Emperor's consorts on the Black Dragon Continent. She will undoubtedly exact revenge now that the Lin Family has been annihilated.
Feng Hao sighed. "You must be wary of Imperial Concubine; she is petty in nature, and now that you have wiped out her family, I am afraid she will resort to menial tricks to kill you. I know you have a powerful background, but she is a vengeful person, and I've heard she has some ties to one of the Hidden Families."
Andy's eyes narrowed as he heard his words.
"Now, that's interesting,".
