“Please don't kill me, sir!” A Last Man living in a Village begged Ye Jing—who mercilessly devoured the essence of their lives.
Ye Jing grinned happily at the helpless facial expression of the Man, then without saying a word—ia instantly devoured the life essence of that Man.
However, he sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy within his dantian. “Hmm, it seems like I have to neutralize this extremely chaotic spiritual energy. Ah, Yan Yan dear... It seems like our meeting should be postponed first!”.
Ye Jing immediately headed to the hill near the Village to cultivate there.
He did not cultivate in any of the Resident houses for fear that there was a martial expert who could disguise the aura of his existence and secretly stab him, he said, so that the revenge he had planned against the Yan Clan and his goal of becoming the strongest martial artist in the World would fail to materialize.
With his current weak cultivation base, Ye Jing chose to be careful whenever acting—although according to the memories of the old owner of his body, the supreme martial artist in Zhao Kingdom was only Spirit realm only.
As long as he was not ganged up against thousands of Spirit Realms, fighting dozens of them was simply like turning a palm for him.
In just a hundred breaths, Ye Jing had reached the hillside and found a small cave. He then entered the cave, but a killing intent suddenly emerged from within the cave.
“The Beast who has not been able to absorb spiritual energy dared to threaten this former Emperor realm?” Ye Jing narrowed her eyes and her right hand turned into a demonic hand.
From his palm appeared a mouth with saw-like teeth, then Ye Jing walked leisurely into the cave.
The five spear-tall bear instantly clawed at Ye Jing's face, but before the sharp claw of the bear hit his face; suddenly Ye Jing's demonic hand had absorbed the Bear's life essence.
“Thank you for giving me a good base!” Ye Jing took the Bear's skin and dragged it to a corner of the cave.
Ye Jing then sat cross-legged on the Bear's skin and closed her eyes.
...***...
The Patriarch of the Yan Clan had deployed hundreds of Yan Clan martial experts hunting down the assassins against the Villages around the border with the territory of the Huang Clan, but the martialist he sent no one back again—so he suspected the party responsible for their deaths was the Underworld Sect, because only they were the ones who used that vile technique to strengthen their cultivation base.
However, he was confused, why they were so aggressive lately— even managed to destroy all the martial experts who were chasing them. He thought maybe the Elders of the Underworld Sect were escorting them so they freely absorbed the life essence of those innocent villagers.
“Dad... I found the movement pattern of that Underworld Sect!” Yan Yan said as soon as he entered the working room of the Patriarch of the Yan Clan.
“Explain, Yaner!” the Patriarch of the Yan Clan was curious.
“The First Elder has traced the traces of the village destroyed by the martialist. It started from the Villages in the Huang Clan region and continued to move straight towards the territory of our Yan Clan. However, he stopped at Fanrong Village, for some reason but his next destination was this Lingxi City!” Yan Yan said with such confidence that the Patriarch of the Yan Clan was shocked to hear him.
“I must report this to Commander Zhao Fan and the Court in order for them to help us get rid of the Underworld Sect!” The Yan Clan Patriarch said with a long sigh of unexpectedness that the Underworld Sect would attack his Clan when the Yan Clan never harassed them.
Both Yan Yan and the Patriarch of the Yan Clan did not realize that what would appear before them later was Yan Yan's former fiancee who demanded revenge— for being humiliated by her as a result of the Ye Clan having been destroyed by being attacked Another clan and Yan Yan Yan decided to marry the military commander of Lingxi City.
This marriage was also political in nature, as the Yan Clan had a son-in-law of the Zhao Clan who was the Nobles Clan—so that the other Clans would think twice if they wanted to conquer the Yan Clan, because Commander Zhao Fan will definitely intervene to defend them.

Zhao Jian was deeply saddened to see the Villages they had passed through had been destroyed by the Underworld Sect which was the party he suspected the most at the moment, the one he was in, because the vile technique of devouring the essence of life was a typical martial technique they used to raise their cultivation base.
“I found Brother Zhao Kai's former Guqin!” one of the Court Officers.
Zhao Jian and the others headed straight there and were surprised to see the area around him had been destroyed—which indicates that there had been a fight.
Zhao Chen sighed deeply and clenched his hand. “Hopefully in your next life remain good and wise brothers You and Yunfei!”
The younger Court Officers instantly shed tears at the loss of the senior who guided them well all along.
They felt like a dream, but a few days ago they were still laughing together.
“Senior Kai... Yunfei senior!” murmured Zhao Jian. “I will definitely punish the person who made you this way.” The killing intent seeped from Zhao Jian's body which made the junior Court Officers distressed.
Zhao Que patted Zhao Jian on the shoulder and said, “Judge Jian... Control yourself!”
Zhao Jian instantly regained his senses and wiped his tears, then dispelled his Killing Intent. “Sorry aunt Que, I ...” Zhao Jian sighed deeply. “I turned out to have failed to become the Leader for failing to protect my own subordinates!”
“What do you say Judge Jian!” sela Zhao Que smiled faintly. “Everyone who is a Court Officer already knows that they will at times be like Brother Zhao Yunfei and Zhao Kai. However, we still chose to be a Court Officer because we want to uphold Absolute Justice!”
“Hmm.. isn't the end of Aunt Que's sentence a joke I used to say!” Zhao Jian frowned.
Zhao Que smiled and immediately picked up Zhao Kai's damaged Guqin. “Well, let's just say we think like that. Well, we shouldn't delay any longer here. It was afraid that the bastard had reached Lingxi City and performed a far more terrible action!”
“Yes, let's head to Lingxi City at full speed!” Zhao Jian immediately jumped onto the Horse's back and spurred it on.
