C42 Complete annihilation

The people outside the valley were laughing loudly, looking forward to the benefits they would receive from the family in the future. However, at this moment, a huge shadow flew over their heads.

"Be careful! It looks like a flying Demonic Beast!" someone cried out.

However, this flying Demonic Beast did not attack them. Instead, it passed above their heads and threw a six-foot-diameter sphere to their side.

Bang! It was smashed into pieces.

Everyone was kind of frightened and bewildered as they looked forward. The ball was made of a very special material, which was made of neither gold nor iron and was extremely elastic. There were even some empty hexagonal nests within it.

A few white bugs crawled out of the hexagonal nests and were immediately cut into two by several disciples. They further cut the nests, and a sweet fragrance floated out.

"This looks like a beehive."

"It does, but why did that bird leave the hive?"

"Whatever, this honey is a good thing. My Genuine Qi circulates much faster when I smell it only. If I eat it, I can definitely speed up my cultivation."

Suddenly, everyone started fighting over the honey.

"Hmm, what's that sound?" One of them felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he was scared out of his wits.

Somehow, the sky was already filled with hundreds fist-sized Silver Winged Bees, each of whom had a cultivation equivalent to a martial cultivator at early stage, and they furiously rushed towards the crowd.

"Oh my god, who can tell me what's going on?" A martial cultivator at the seventh empyrean was stung by two Silver Winged Bees. Lying on the ground, he felt his life draining bit by bit, and let out a sorrowful cry.

While things were in a mess outside the valley, on a high cliff about five hundred away, the group of people from Eight Desolations City were watching the scene below with dumbstruck expressions.

It turned out that before Ye Yang came, he tamed a Windy Bird. Although the bird was a First Ranked Demonic Beast, it flew extremely fast, so Ye Yang and Ye Ming took advantage of this to steal a beehive and attracted a large group of Silver Winged Bees to chase them.

After arriving at the valley, Ye Yang came down first to save them, and asked Ye Ming to cooperate with the Windy Bird to throw the “bullets”. It was laughable that these people from Nan Li City didn't see clearly at all, cause they just begun dissecting the beehive without noticing that there was even a person sat on the bird’s back.

The Silver Winged Bees were Demonic Beasts of insects, and their intelligence was extremely low. When they saw those people destroying the hive, they immediately forgot about their previous enemies and began to attack them at the risk of their lives instead.

After finishing “the bombing”, Ye Ming brought the Windy Bird into the valley. As the bird wasn't very big, it could only bring everyone to the top of the cliff in batches.

The view was wide at the top of the mountain. It was indeed a good place to watch a show.

However, the spectators were all trembling in fear, because the scene below was too tragic. Miserable screams echoed unceasingly; over seventy martial cultivators including three warriors, all died in less than the duration of two joss sticks burning out.

The Silver Winged Bees had also suffered heavy losses. Only a hundred of them were left in the original seven hundred plus team, revealing how desperate this battle had been.

Seeing that the enemies had been completely wiped out, the swarm of bees took a few more laps before flying towards the depths of the forest. The war between bee and people ended.

"Ye Yang, did we get into big trouble this time? So many people died!" Ye Qingxuan's face was a little pale, but the other people were not much better off.

They were different from Ye Yang. They had all grown up in a greenhouse and had never seen a scene of killing people before, let alone the scene before their eyes. Even some martial cultivators who had seen the blood before would not adapt to it.

"No, Tianwu Academy has its own rules, no one can change that. The reason why they dared to lure the Demonic Beasts to attack you is that they knew the rules. We just beat them at their own game," Ye Yang said indifferently. After the conversation, he patted the bird beside him, removed the Soul Imprint on it to set it free.

The Windy Bird gave a light cry and its head rubbed Ye Yang's arm before it turned around and flew into the clouds.

"Oh right, Ye Yang, how did you make this bird listen to you?" Ye Qingxuan asked curiously as she watched the bird disappear.

"This is very simple. I told it that I have a beautiful cousin who was in danger and needed its help. If I succeed, I would treat it with good meat and wine, and it came."

"Then I told it just now that my cousin was in a bad mood. She wanted to eat some bird meat to ease her depression, so it left without even turning its head around," Ye Yang said in a serious tone.

Ye Yang's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the originally heavy atmosphere instantly eased by quite a bit.

Ye Qingxuan rolled her eyes as she said, "It'd be weird if I believe you." After that, no matter how she asked, Ye Yang would always talk about other things, leaving her with no solution.

She had also thought that Ye Yang might be a Beast Tamer, but in her impression, Beast Tamers were all bearded old men, and it was impossible for a Beast Tamer to be as young as Ye Yang.

Seeing that everyone were at ease, Ye Yang asked them about what had happened, so Ye Qingxuan told him about how they were trapped.

When the ten of them first entered, everything went smoothly. The ten of them were safely hunting Demonic Beasts in a speed that was not slow, as their teamwork was quite good.

But not long after, they met a small team. After the team met Ye Qingxuan and the others, they immediately separated, and only one of the team members followed them from a distance.

They did not pay much attention at the start, but from this morning, there were teams rushing over one after another to fight with them without explaining anything. They were too many, so Ye Qingxuan and the others were no match for them; they could only retreat.

It was unexpected that the people from Nan Li City would be so scheming. They had already investigated the surrounding terrain and forced them into the dangerous ground, then Ye Yang understood everything that happened afterwards.

Ye Yang asked about everyone's income and found that Ye Qingxuan and the others only had eleven crystal nuclei, so he was speechless.

He told Ye Ming to give all the Demonic Beast crystal nuclei to Ye Qingxuan for safekeeping. When Ye Ming took out more than forty crystal nuclei, everyone was immediately shocked and a little ashamed.

"Let's go, although we have already completed our missions after sharing these crystal nucleis, hunting Demonic Beasts is a form of training, and everyone still has to continue." Ye Yang brought everyone out of the valley and did not even glance at the corpses there, as he knew that someone would deal with them.

In the opposite direction, in a forest, Lan Caidie witnessed the entire process with her team.

She even could say that herself was the director of the whole incident, but she never thought that the "show" she wanted to watch would turn into this end.

"This is too cruel, over seventy people gone just like that!"

"Yeah, most of them are from Nan Li City, and a few are from Luo Ying City. They will probably be furious this time, and Ye Yang will get into trouble soon."

"Tch, shut up, don't spout nonsense here; you know nothing. Above all, it was the bastards from Nan Li City who wanted to trap and kill their team first, and then Ye Yang took his revenge. Moreover, their methods are all the same. No one will be able to find any fault with it," Lan Caidie stopped their discussion and shouted.

"But Miss, Nan Li City is strong, and they won't let this go so easily!" A disciple argued.

"First, don't call me Miss from now on. This is Tianwu Academy, so don't copy the way you do in the family; I hate this form of address!"

"Second, Nan Li City is extremely strong, but no matter how strong it is, can it be stronger than Tianwu Empire? Even Tianwu Empire cannot interfere with the matters of the Tianwu Academy, what do you think the Mu Family in Nan Li City can do? "

"Tch, the one that I look down on the most is the Mu Family in Nan Li City. The Family Head was hacked, but he only dared do some little tricks secretly, rather than take revenge straightforwardly, and a person like him actually dared to ask for my hand in marriage. Bah!" As she finished speaking, Lan Caidie didn’t maintain her image and spat on the ground in anger, causing the few people behind her to become silent out of fear.

Suddenly, as if she thought of something joyful, her eyes narrowed into slits as she muttered to herself, "Fortunately, I am not someone who is easy to deal with. He-he, things will be interesting in the future …"

After Lan Caidie and her group had disappeared, beside more than seventy bodies lying on the ground of the originally empty valley entrance, two white-clothed youths turned up.

One of the young men looked at the miserable scene on the ground and could not help but frown. "This Ye Yang is too ruthless. How deep his hatred is that he killed so many people."

"I don't like what you're saying. You have bias against him, isn't that a bit too unfair? Didn't you see this group of people trying to kill his team members? Oh, one may steal a horse, while another may not look over the hedge? It’s double standard." the other man retorted disapprovingly.

The man's face turned red, "I didn't mean that. It's just… It's the first time in so many years that so many people have died …"

"Well, stop talking so much. This is not something we can comment on. Just check it!"

"Check what? They're all dead as doornails. What else is there to check?"

"Sigh, you're really hopelessly stupid. We need to know the names of these bodies from their identity tokens, or the principal will definitely scold us for not being meticulous enough …" The man in white shook his head helplessly.

In front of the Tianwu Academy gate in the mountain, the white robed elderly man and leaders of the various cities were all meditating and waiting. The group of disciples who didn't pass the exam had to wait here, too. Because they had to leave with the other eliminated ones until the exam finished.

When the two white-clothed men arrived at the gate and reported the situation to the white-robed old man, everyone present was shocked.

"What?" Mu Shijie from Nan Li City couldn't believe what he had heard.

"I mean, your esteemed city's disciples, together with Luo Ying City's disciples, surrounded Eight Desolations City's disciples, and forced them into a valley enclosed on three sides by cliffs before luring a Demonic Beast into the valley. Then, their trap was destroyed by Eight Desolations City's disciple, Ye Yang, who killed them and resorted to the Silver Winged Bees. None of the seventy-six disciples had survived. Among them, sixty-five were from Nan Li City and nine were from Luo Ying City."

"Bullsh * t! This is impossible!" Mu Shijie roared without caring about his status.

The man in white was clearly an honest man. His face turned red as he was scolded. However, he did not utter a single bad word back.

"Mu Shijie, if you dare to say any more malicious words, get the hell out of Tianwu Academy!" The white-robed old man's sound was like rolling thunder, causing Mu Shijie's heart to beat madly, and even his ears were slightly bleeding.

However, this shook him awake. He clearly knew that he didn't have any qualification to be so impudent here. He bowed and said, "I'm sorry, little brother. I apologize for my tone just now …"

The young man in white didn't say a word and instead bowed in return.

"Did you hear that? The battles in Tianwu Academy are already so brazen, and they were even directly forcing others to death!"

"Nan Li City is not only satisfied with bullying the disciples from Eight Desolations City, and they actually want to put them to death. Well, this time, half of their people who came died!"

"They've long been distained, and Tianwu Academy is almost dominated by their disciples. Good to see their death, this is karma!"

Amongst people present, many had conflicts with Nan Li City, so they started to crusade against Nan Li City. All resulted from Nan Li City’s arrogance in the past; other than Eight Desolations City, there were also many other people from various cities being bullied by them.

Mu Shijie’s and Wang Qiuyu's faces were ashen, but they did not dare retort because of the public wrath. Wang Qiuyu stood up and said, "Principal, Ye Yang is so young and yet so ruthless and merciless; killing people for him is like weeding. In the future, he will definitely become a killing Demon King. I suggest that we should kill him first to avoid all troubles later.”

"What?!"
