Supreme Emperor of Mist

When afternoon came, Sun Wu Jian ordered the entire invasion force under his command to leave without hesitation. Not a single man was left in the Precelestial Essence Mine.

About an hour later, the main forces led by the Black Wind Bandits and Thunder Roaring Palace finally arrived.

It puzzled them after looking at the mine without a single living being there. Not even a corpse that belonged to the bandits can be seen around the area.

"Weird... Where are all the people?" the three leaders ordered their people to check the perimeters, only to found nothing except for a few abandoned clothing and some human bones.

"Awoo!!!" the warning from the Crimson Battlewolves finally came.

"Battlewolves! Did the force from Yunshan Province get eliminated by the Yao Beast? But that's impossible... The condition of the base is too clean for one that got attacked by the demons!" the three leaders panicked.

""Senior brother, what should we do?" the disciples from Thunder Roaring Palace all went into a panic as more activities from the Crimson Battlewolves can be heard around the area.

"ROAR!" the attack started. A few disciples from the Thunder Roaring Palace were the first to get mauled by the Crimson Battlewolves, followed by a few bandits. Instead of getting their weapon out, they rather waste their effort to escape no matter how futile it is.

"Don't - Don't panic! Fight back! Fight!" blood splattered around the Precelestial Essence Mine.

...

...

"The bloodbath started..." Qin Lan shook his head.

"Young master... The Precelestial Mine got..." Lu Qing Yun whispered something into Qin Lan's ears. It seems that only both of them in the entire group noticed the disturbance of Spiritual Energy.

"Yes. The time is just right. Although I have a hunch that the Crimson King won't be that kind if it's not because of the Fruit of Tranquility, to think that he'll make a move this early still shocks me." Qin Lan said.

What Qin Lan worried about ended up coming true.

And the group of bandits and disciples from Thunder Roaring Palace ended up replacing them as the sacrifice because of their unplanned visit over to the Precelestial Essence Mine.

There were supposed to be half a day left until the effect of the Fruit of Tranquility vanishes. But because this was not his first time making a truce between mankind and Yao Beast, Qin Lan managed to take advantage of it based on his own experience.

And just like their ancestors, no matter young or old, weak or strong, the Yao Beast still maintained their cunningness. If Qin Lan and the others left two to three hours later, perhaps they'll be surrounded by the Crimson Battlewolves with no escape route.

This is also what differentiates the "division" of the Yao Beast's Hierarchy.

(Note: Chapter 16 - Huo Zunjie is where the basic understanding of Yao Beast is first introduced. Insect, rodent, and reptile forever belong to the sub-species that produce the Essence Metal used to refine Defensive Treasure. Only those with a hierarchy, such as lions, tigers, wolves, and others, were classified as a sole division beast)

Everyone managed to cross the border between Yunshan and Kuanglei Province. They've planned to return to the village first to rest before returning to Fuyun City without worries.

But sometimes, nothing goes as planned.

The village that was still bustling with life four days ago was drenched in blood from the entrance until the latrine pit. Corpses of the young, women, and old were littered on the ground like a Bull Demon from hell just paid them a visit.

When the experts under Sun Wu Jian's Invasion Force witness this sight, a few of them felt weak on their stomachs and immediately puked on the spot. A few faint-hearted female cultivators collapsed on the ground as they were greeted by this nightmarish scene.

"Wh - Who did this?" even Sun Wu Jian cracked down mentally from witnessing this sight. Except for Qin Lan and the Bone Reconstruction Expert that following them secretly, the gruesome sight affected them mentally in many ways.

Entering the village with a weapon in their hand, they quickly found the culprit that's likely behind this massacre.

A cultivator wearing distinctive clothing only available from the Thunder Roaring Palace sat calmly on top of a few headless corpses as he tried to sleep. By his side was a sword used by the disciple from Thunder Roaring Palace, but better in quality.

He was drenched with the blood of his victim. There's not a spot on his body that wasn't tainted by the blood of the people he killed.

"Do you like my gift?" Yang Yuan chuckled before he continued.

"I've purposely left the kids to escape to where the entrance is before I dismembered them. The old shall be respected, so I made sure that I crushed all their bones before beheading them. As for the youths and adults, of course, I let them fight me fairly to stop me from ravaging the women."

"Do you know that all of them died with their eyes still opened wide? The women too! They died while they're still servicing my manhood!!! How enjoyable it is!" Yang Yuan laughed hysterically.

Crazy was not even enough to describe a cultivator like him. He was more than sick. In the eyes of the experts led by Sun Wu Jian, this Yang Yuan was the reincarnation of absolute evil.

"I'll kill you to revenge for the villagers!" one of the experts tossed his Qiankun Pouch at someone he trusts and charged at Yang Yuan without hiding his strength. The seventh-level Flesh Refining Layer strength explodes outward as the expert used his deadliest attack against this animal.

"Stone Splitter Blade..." the attack went towards Yang Yuan without hesitation. Suddenly, the attack vanishes mysteriously right in front of everyone's eyes.

What came next was a flash, followed by the rolling head that belonged to the expert. Without a hint of an attack was made, the seventh-level expert ended up as the first victim here to be killed by Yang Yuan after the villagers.

"You demon! I'm not human if I don't teach you a lesson!"

"Me too!"

"Let's cut him into pieces!"

Three experts followed up. If one on one can hardly threaten him, then three seventh-level cultivators should be able to make a difference. But still, only a flash came before they were mutilated. One of the experts even had his face disfigured before it rolled on the ground.

"Looks like you're the leader of this force. I should kill you first before someone interferes." Yang Yuan suddenly change his target to Sun Wu Jian. The cultivation of an eighth-level Flesh Refining cultivator is released as Yang Yuan charged into the defensive perimeters created by Huang Ping and Wang Xun.

"Country Protection Fist!"

"Sword Saint's Crazy Blade!"

Huang Ping and Wang Xun executed the best attack at Yang Yuan. One from the left and another from the right, two seventh-level attacks above-average came closer at the incoming Yang Yuan.

"Get lost!!!" this was the first time Yang Yuan's attack can be observed in their eyes. Turning his blade and forming into a perfect circle, Yang Yuan deflected the two attacks back at the one executing them.

Huang Ping and Wang Xun were thrown away like a kite without strings. Following them were a trail of blood, likely due to the damage that got rebound on them.

"Qing Yun, go to Huang Ping. Huo Zunjie to Wang Xun. Lu Yi, protect me while I get ready!" Qin Lan ordered. This was not an opponent he can defeat even if he takes it seriously.

Yang Yuan still tries to shorten the distance between him and Sun Wu Jian. Numerous experts tried to protect Sun Wu Jian. As for the others, they tried to stop Yang Yuan from approaching. Nobody managed to create a result until a dagger pierced through Yang Yuan's waist miraculously.

"Continue!" Li Dan yelled as she tries to deliver another attack at Yang Yuan.

"What a sharp Huang-Grade Treasure. But I wonder if my treasure is deadlier." Yang Yuan didn't flinch with a wound on his waist. Instead, he suddenly had the interest to violate Li Dan.

The Spiritual Energy from his blade turned into a shredder mode as he attacked Li Dan twice. The blacksmith's clothing was turned into pieces as it revealed her stark naked body in front of everyone else.

"You!!!" Li Dan reached for the Qiankun Pouch on her waist,  but with her clothing is lost, her Qiankun Pouch is obviously fell onto the ground too.

Yang Yuan's claw then went further as it tightens the grip right on one of her breasts. The pressure he put in was not light as Li Dan immediately cried in anguish when she was "groped" by this animal.

"Come! Let me turn you into a woman in front of everyone!" Yang Yuan said. There were a few experts who try to help. But all they managed to do was to add the numbers into the pool of corpses before Yang Yuan hung his sword on his back.

"Aargh! Help me!" Li Dan struggles as Yang Yuan pulled her closer to his crotch. Perhaps only God can answer how the hell he's capable of an erection in the middle of a battle. Nevertheless, he's literally inches away from destroying Li Dan's purity.

"Sky Dragon Fist!"

"Sea Splitting Strike!"

Two attacks came at the right time and forced Yang Yuan to go defensive. Worst of all, he was actually injured by the sword energy of a fifth-level cultivator!

"Hateful!" Yang Yuan shouts. Letting go of Li Dan's breast where a claw mark can be noticeably seen, Yang Yuan searched for the culprit behind the sword attack.

"What are you looking for?" Sun Wu Jian appeared right before Yang Yuan. Even Sun Wu Jian lost his cool after witnessing Yang Yuan's capacity to kill, mess, and trying to screw a woman's purity at the same time.

"I'll go back and meditates later on. But for now, even if my teacher will penalize me for cursing, I have to say this..."

"Go F**k Yourself!" Sun Wu Jian's fist landed accurately at Yang Yuan's face.
