C27 ANGER!
Little Purple moved around the temple, sniffing to find anything useful.
After a while, it shook its head.
Even after trying for so long, it couldn't find anything.
Seeing that, Zhan Tianming felt a bit anxious.
Could it be that Third Uncle Mu was not killed here?
What if this wasn't the crime scene?
"Got it!"
Just as Zhan Tianming was frowning, Little Purple's voice rang out.
Zhan Tianming was startled and immediately asked, "What is it?"
"Master, I smell a trace of true qi from here. It's very faint, but I do smell it."
"True qi?" Zhan Tianming was startled, and then he suddenly realized.
In the entire Nanqing Village, only Zhang Yong was a nine-star Martial Practitioner.
Other than him, there wasn't any other villager who had true qi.
The culprit had to be Zhang Yong.
"Master, I am not sure if it was Zhang Yong, that bastard, who killed Uncle Mu. However, I'm certain that whoever the murderer is, he has great control over his true qi," Little Purple added and continued sniffing around.
Kacha, kacha!
Zhan Tianming clenched his fists so tight that they filled the surrounding with bone-cracking sounds.
His eyes looked like they were about to spit fire.
"No matter who it is, I must kill him and avenge Third Uncle Mu!"
Zhan Tianming glared. His heart was burning with flames of vengeance.
His fury could raze the heavens right now.
With his teeth gritted, he clenched his fist tight as trace amounts of true qi began covering his fist.
Even after looking around for a while, they couldn't find many clues.
In the end, Zhang Tianming and Little Purple did not discover anything else.
After withdrawing Little Purple into the War Pet system space, Zhan Tianming prepared to return to the Nanqing Village.
At this moment, over a dozen people surrounded him.
"Zhan Tianming, you ill-bred with no parents, how dare you injure my Xiao Qiang while he wasn't paying attention!" A middle-aged woman pointed at Zhan Tianming while glaring at him; her saliva was all but sprayed on his face.
"Damn you, little bastard, how dare you hit my son?" The other woman also glared at Zhan Tianming.
"Humph! Zhan Tianming, you heartless little bastard! Since your parents died early, we, the villagers, lived frugally to provide you with nourishing meals. Now that you've grown up all strong, you dare to slap the hands that fed you?"
"Alright, you little bastard. From now on, I won't see you like my own!"
A few angry women surrounded Zhan Tianming.
Behind the angry mob stood the bunch of tryhards to whom Zhan Tianming taught a lesson.
A few of them secretly sneered.
Their eyes seemed to say, "Zhan Tianming, let's see if you can survive today."
Zhan Tianming only glanced at them for a second before retracting his gaze.
He felt slightly unhappy in his heart.
Wasn't this the pot calling the kettle black?
Such people were simply put... despicable.
Zhan Tianming only had one question for the women standing in front of him.
Why weren't you this angry when your spawn beat me within an inch of my life?
Only when I retaliated did you remember there was something like justice and mercy.
'Bullshit!'
'Aren't you just shadowing their mistakes? '
"Zhan Tianming, what's with your expression?"
"Humph! We really are raising an ingrate."
"Zhan Tianming, kneel down and admit your wrongdoings immediately. If you don't apologize to our sons, don't blame me, your aunt, for teaching you a lesson today."
"Zhan Tianming, quickly apologize!"
"…"
All of a sudden, the group of oldies began cackling like there was no tomorrow. They were so irritating that Zhan Tianming's already bubbling anger climbed new heights.
His fist tightened...
And Zhan Tianming's roar echoed in the surroundings.
"Get out of my way!"
It was a truly stunning display.
All those crying, shrieking banshees of women went silent.
They were all stunned.
Everyone looked at Zhan Tianming in shock. They never thought that the weak and helpless Zhan Tianming could actually raise his voice in such a domineering fashion.
Moreover, those eyes...
His eyes shone sunlight reflecting off the purest diamonds.
How could this be?
However, it didn't take long for those gammers to regain their calm.
"Zhan Tianming, what did you just say?"
"Kneel now and apologize!"
After saying that, one of them extended her hand out to pinch Zhan Tianming's ear.
It was one fluid motion as if she had practiced it for a lifetime on the same target.
Zhan Tianming just stuck his foot out, let the woman start falling, and the moment she was at a shoulders distance, he just stuck out with his shoulder.
Bang!
The shrew, who was trying to pinch his ears, was sent flying.
Soon, she landed on the ground heavily.
"Ouch!"
The resentful woman let out a blood-curdling screech.
Then, Zhan Tianming clenched his fist.
Without any warning, he punched a wall beside him.
Boom!
That dilapidated wall was directly shattered into pieces with a single punch. Smoke and dust mixed with shattered stones flew out more than ten meters away.
Silence.
The surroundings immediately became quiet.
A few of the women looked at Zhan Tianming in a daze. They stood in their place like statues, not daring to make a move. After seeing that wall crumble, they didn't even dare to think about cursing him.
Slowly brushing the dust off his hands, Zhan Tianming gave a fleeting glance to the group of tryhards.
"You guys, get over here right now."
Those people were so scared that their bodies couldn't stop trembling.
Fear was the only emotion that could be seen in their eyes.
With a single punch, he had shattered a wall!
That was good for Zhan Tianming, but not for them.
What Zhan Tianming had just done was no easy feat. With a single punch, he had just decimated an entire wall, smashed it into pieces, and sent the debris flying everywhere.
Not a single member of the village hunting could do something like that.
So, those tryhards did not dare defy Zhan Tianming's orders and walked over with small steps, face filled with fear.
"Tell them exactly why you were beaten by me," Zhan Tianming said in a heavy voice.
No one spoke.
"Hmm?" Zhan Tianming's face darkened.
Just a single "Hmm" from Zhan Tianming scared the life out of them.
"I'll talk! I'll talk."
They didn't dare to hide anything and quickly explained everything from the beginning to the end.
Then, Zhan Tianming turned to look at the few women.
"Now, did you all hear it clearly?"
Those gammers lowered their heads in shame as they were under Zhan Tianming's direct gaze.
Actually, they were all that clueless about the truth.
It was just that they could not bear to see their own child being bullied, so they came to find trouble with Zhan Tianming.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Tianming was no longer the docile Zhan Tianming of the past.
The Zhan Tianming in front of them was a complete stranger to them.
He felt so strange that they, for a second, thought he wasn't Zhan Tianming at all.
"Scram!" Zhan Tianming shouted.
Head lowered in shame, the group left.
Zhan Tianming also returned to the Nanqing Village.
Not long after he returned to the village, he heard the second bad news.
Liu Yu was missing.
"Zhang Yong, get out here right now."
Zhan Tianming was incensed and no longer cared about Zhang Yong's true cultivation. He charged straight to the door of the Zhang Yong household.
The roar spread out, almost shaking the entire village.
"What's going on?"
"Strange, why would Zhan Tianming run over to Village Head Zhang's house and shout so loudly just after returning?"
"I don't know."
"Let's go take a look."
Zhan Tianming's angry roar attracted the attention of the villagers, and they quickly gathered over.
"Shouting like this... how unbecoming." Zhang Yong walked out, his face filled with anger as he looked at Zhan Tianming, "Humph! Little bastard, your parents died too early. They really didn't teach you how to be polite. It seems I have to teach you some respect today."
After that, Zhang Yong took a step forward.
Swish!
He leaped into the air like a bolt of lightning.
Without stopping, Zhang Yong released a mighty punch.
The first wind whistled.
"Damn it! Village Chief Zhang is enraged!"
"Village Chief, teach him a good lesson!"
"Village Chief, be careful not to kill him. He still has to participate in tomorrow's assessment."
"…"
The surrounding villagers all shouted.
When he looked at Zhang Yong's approach, Zhan Tianming's heart surged with anger.
"Ha!"
"Proud Dragon Repents!"
