CH 38

Yang Tian didn't say another word and used his spiritual sense to access his storage space. Cultivators that have reached a certain cultivation level would no longer use a storage ring but open a separate space to store their stuff. After a bit of searching, Yang Tian finally found a mantra suitable for Chu Ci. After giving him a bit of instruction, Yang Tian said:

- You can further study it on your own and come to me with any questions you have. Biao Zheng Long, let's find an empty room and I'll help you advance to Earth stage.

Biao Zheng Long rejoiced and led Yang Tian to a room at the back of the house. The interior was very elegant and reflected Biao Zheng Long's taste. He followed Yang Tian's order and sat on the bed with his legs crossed. Yang Tian put his hand on his head and impart a strand of spiritual qi.

- Focus your spirit, use the spiritual qi I gave you to break through your bottleneck.

Martial Artists cultivate inner qi and it was much weaker than spiritual qi. Biao Zheng Long was now using Yang Tian's spiritual qi to break his botteneck. Yang Tian examined Biao Zheng Long and upon seeing that everything was going smoothly, went outside. Seeing that Chu Ci was also studying his mantra, Yang Tian didn't bother him. Feeling bored, he found a room and took a nap.

When he woke up, it was already noon. He left the room and saw that Chu Ci had started to cultivate and Biao Zheng Long still haven't manage to break through. His talents were limited and without Yang Tian's help, who knows when he could've break through to Earth stage. So his current progress or lack thereof was understandable.

Yang Tian decided to go out and get lunch. There was a lot of food in the fridge but was of it was either frozen or fast food, not Yang Tian's favourite.

This place was quite far from the city so Yang Tian chose a small food outlet in the village. The food was simple but it's flavor was very good. In the middle of his meal, someone rushed inside with a panicked face:

- Owner, something's wrong, your son was chopping wood with me but he disappered. I've search the entire morning and still haven't found him.

The owner didn't say anything and rushed out. Yang Tian wasn't some busybody so he focused on his meal. After finishing, he left the money for them meal on the table and saw himself out. As he came out, Yang Tian was hit with a stench of blood. He saw a person dressed in black in the distance. Under his foot was the owner from before.

- You are here for me?

- Correct.

- Why kill innocent people?

- He wanted to find his son so I was kind enough to help them reunite.

Yang Tian nodded, seemingly understood. The man in black continued:

- Was it you who killed Eighteen?

- Eighteen? You mean the assassin that spied on me last night.

The man in black heard that and was convinced that Yang Tian killed Eighteen. He didn't say another word and brandish a short saber and charged at Yang Tian. Yang Tian looked the man in black in the eye. He was in the middle of charging but suddenly stopped and stood his ground with a dazed look.

Yang Tian just used an illusion spell to trapped the man in black in a dreamlike vision. He accidently let the other assassin kill himself so he won't make the same mistake again. Looking at the confused man in black, Yang Tian asked:

- Who do you belong to and who sent you kill me?

- We are the Eighteen General of the Heaven Slayer organization. We are an assassin organization that will kill anyone in world, be it a president of a country or a newborn baby. As long as the pay is right, the Heaven Slayer will do it.

- This time someone paid a large fee to have you killed. Heaven Slayer only takes the money no question ask so I don't know who hired us.

Yang Tian frowned, this became a bit complicated. Not being able to find the culprit made Yang Tian annoyed:

- What's the structure of you organization? What happens if you fail a mission?

- Heaven Slayer is the largest assassin organization in the world and our headquarters isn't even in this country. Aside from regular assassin, above them are the Eighteen Generals, the vice leaders and the leader.

- Heaven Slayer always honor its contract so when a mission fail, we will send someone more powerful to do the job until it's done.

- So you and the person yesterday was from the Eighteen General.

- Correct, I am Eleven.

Yang Tian frowned, it seemed that he was still a target since two of the Eighteen Generals has died by his hands. So who would be next? The vice leader or the leader?

Yang Tian waved his hand and dispel the illusion. The man in back backed away immediately with a frightened face:

- What did you do to me?

- Go back and tell your leader if you don't stop coming after me, I wouldn't mind wiping your Heaven Slayer organization from the face of the earth.

- How did you know?

- Scram!

Yang Tian glared at him and the man in black felt that he was standing in front of a massive monster. His clothes were soaked in sweat. He didn't say another word and fled. This person was to scary, he wasn't his match at all.

Yang Tian didn't know if the leader of Heaven Slayer would heed his warning or not. He didn't want any annoyance and wasn't so free that he could go abroad to track down an assassin organization. Of course, the other person didn't know that if push come to shove, Yang Tian will annihilate the organization without a second thought.

Yang Tian looked at the old man on the ground and heaviy sighed. This person's death was on him. Yang Tian approached a house and knocked:

- Open up, that person is gone.

There was a quivering voice inside the house:

- Who I am isn't important, the owner of the stall is dead. Help me find his son's corpse and give them a proper burial. I'll leave the money by the door.

After that, Yang Tian left a large stack of cash in front of the door and left. He returned to the house and upon seeing that Biao Zheng Long still hasn't broken throught, shook his head. His talent was really terrible.

Feeling bored, Yang Tian found a laptop in the house and played games. Ye Ling wasn't online so after completing some mission, Yang Tian looked up Ling Ya Qi. He wanted to see what she looked like.

After opening the image section, what hit him was a woman with full body, a slim but attractive figure and a beautiful face. Yang Tian also read some articles about her and saw most of it was positive. She was very well liked. Yang Tian was engrossed in his research until he heard a large noise from the back of the house. Biao Zheng Long then cheerfully came inside:

- Young master, I have succeeded.

Yang Tian shook his head:

- It took you that long to break through. It seems that your talent is a step below what I initially thought.

Biao Zheng Long didn't mind it at all. He was very satisfied about his breakthrough. Yang Tian continued:

- It's getting late, go and prepare. We are going to Hong Nian Zi's banquet.

Biao Zheng Long nodded and excused himself. Yang Tian laid on the bed, going to a feast was a very boring affair. He wanted to groomed Chu Ci to get more powerful so he can handle these types of things in the future.
