Chapter 007: Self-Destruction

"Hmph, whether I lose value or not is none of your business." In fact, Yun Yang was quite troubled, as he had no idea how to proceed. Although he had inherited some fragmented memories from Yang Tian, almost none of them pertained to the realm of cultivation. Therefore, he did not understand the attack methods of cultivators very well; he had some vague impressions but could not apply them. As for the cultivation techniques left by Yang Tian, apart from the Tianxin Jue, which was somewhat useful, the rest were of little value, and he had no desire to practice them.

Thus, several individuals stood in a standoff. Finally, the hot-tempered Yi Minzi could no longer tolerate it. This young man surnamed Yang was simply too much; he took people's money yet did not fulfill his duties, merely watching the spectacle unfold.

"Why should I return what I bought? Although I admit there are some shady aspects, it can't all be blamed on me, can it? They are just being foolish," said Su Youming, reluctantly taking out a magical item and tossing it to Yun Yang. "This is the Heavenly Net Garment. Damn it, I'm giving it to you now, so help me deal with them."

"What is going on here? Where is the fourth? Why are only the three of you here?" The leading middle-aged man with a long beard immediately asked, "Which one of you is the scoundrel who took our treasure?" As he spoke, he cast a fierce glance at Su Youming and Yun Yang.

Before anyone else could react, he suddenly lunged backward, but it was ultimately too late. With a loud explosion, Su Youming detonated his own Nascent Soul, taking down every single person from the Feng Yi Sect surrounding him, leaving chaos in his wake.

Brother Yang, I kindly ask you to lend a hand in retrieving the treasure for us. Upon our return, we will certainly reward you generously. As for this person surnamed Su, we will also ensure that he is punished accordingly. Regarding his Heavenly Net Garment, it should rightfully belong to you, my friend.

Haha, that may not be the case. The fools at Feng Yimen, do you really think someone with the surname Yang is a good character? Just a few worthless crystal stones, and you expect him to take action? How cheap is that? Su Youming, seeing that escape was hopeless, immediately seized the opportunity to provoke Yang Tian.

"See, Master Uncle!" The few individuals at the Feng Yi Gate immediately expressed their surprise and greeted the arriving person with respect.

"No way" they said in unison, this time showing remarkable harmony.

At this moment, Su Youming was truly anxious. If Yun Yang were to deal with him now, it would certainly be a dead end for him. Ignoring his serious injuries, he hurriedly attempted to escape. Unfortunately, Yi Yangzi and the other two were not willing to let him get away and immediately surrounded him, disregarding their own injuries. However, they did not attack, clearly intending for Yun Yang to finish him off.

However, they forgot one thing: although they had given Yun Yang several hundred crystal stones, their value could never compare to Su Youming's spiritual weapon. Therefore, they did not consider the calculations in Yun Yang's mind. Naturally, Yun Yang watched them gather around but did not take action.

For instance, at this moment, the formation is no longer applicable; it has not been set up before, and while I know how to arrange it, its effectiveness remains uncertain. Therefore, only the restrictions are left, but with just a few methods of restriction, they may suffice to block a door, yet capturing an individual is not guaranteed. Thus, he is quite content to watch the commotion from the sidelines.

As for this loose cultivator surnamed Yang, he is not a good person either. He took our crystal stones and also stole Senior Brother's storage bracelet, yet he is stalling and refusing to assist us. Now he is even being bought off by someone surnamed Su. If it weren't for the timely arrival of our Master Uncle, we might not have seen each other at all. Saying this, he greedily cast a glance at the Heavenly Luo Robe in Yun Yang's hand

The people from Feng Yimen laughed loudly upon seeing Yun Yang in such a sorry state at the hands of their master uncle

Feng Yuzi did not expect Yun Yang to be so decisive. He immediately told Yi Yangzi and the others, "You all stay here and make sure this brat doesn't escape." After saying this, he took up his flying sword and chased after him.

"Master Uncle, this person with the surname Su is the one who deceived us and took our sect's treasures. Our fourth junior brother was also harmed by him accidentally before. We implore you, Master Uncle, to take a stand for us" said Yi Chunzi, who was beside him, quickly responding with tears as he heard Master Uncle's question

As for this, holding Su Youming's Tianluo robe, Yun Yang found that this person with the surname Su was quite straightforward, unlike Feng Yimen, who only spoke empty words about future rewards, fearing that by then, he might not even care about himself

Yun Yang would not be polite with him; he immediately went over, picked up the storage bracelet, and dripped a drop of blood onto it. In an instant, a flash of light appeared, and then the crystals were collected at an astonishing speed. Su Youming had not even reacted before they were already taken.

Damn it, Yun Yang quickly dodged, but he had no experience in combat. He could only rely on the skills he had honed during his time in the underworld, desperately evading the attacks of the flying swords. Before long, his clothes were reduced to tatters.

Yun Yang was left with no choice, as he had no means to retaliate. He could only keep retreating until he found himself at the edge of a cliff, with no way to back away any further. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "You bastards from the Feng Yi Men, just wait!" and then jumped off the cliff.

As for that person with the surname Su, he is now left with only half a life. It is not too late to deal with him later, especially since I have brought a few people with me, so I am not afraid of him escaping

However, he is after all severely injured, so how could he possibly outrun the few people who just arrived over there? In an instant, he was surrounded again.

As Feng Yuzi had just left, Su Youming immediately pressed on despite his severe injuries, heading towards the opposite cliff. From the moment Feng Yuzi arrived, he sensed that something was amiss, believing that he was doomed this time. He was contemplating how to break free when unexpectedly, the strongest individual was lured away by Yang Tian. Now, with a glimmer of hope remaining, he could no longer afford to stay.

At this moment, others also gathered around, including the three severely injured individuals. The hot-tempered Yi Minzi recalled his recently deceased junior disciple and raised his foot to stomp fiercely on Su Youming's head, saying, "This is for deceiving us about the treasure, for causing the death of my junior disciple, for injuring us..." He forcefully stomped on the unconscious Su Youming, waking him up, only for him to faint again. After a long while of this torment, he finally grew tired, while Su Youming was left with only a final breath.

Yiyangzi was quite exasperated; how could a master in the tribulation stage be so poor as to lack even a storage item? It was truly outrageous. However, despite his frustration, he had to acknowledge that the other party was currently in a position of power. Gritting his teeth, he took out his storage bracelet, wiped away his spiritual mark, and then organized it. "Since you say so, this little bracelet is a gift for you. It contains some trivial items, which I will also give to you. I hope you can lend me a hand."

Yun Yang did not expect that he would strike without warning, and in a moment of distraction, he was hit by the palm thunder that the book had given him. Although it was not a serious matter, it left him in quite a disheveled state, at least his hair was in disarray

In fact, when he first arrived, he could already tell that Yun Yang was not someone to be trifled with; at least his cultivation was something he could not fully see through. However, upon learning that he was a loose cultivator, he thought that there must be some limits to his abilities. This fellow currently possesses a spiritual weapon, and it is still unbound. As the second strongest of the Feng Yi Sect, he is still using a treasured artifact. Although it is a top-grade treasured artifact, it is still somewhat embarrassing to go out with it. Now that there is such a good opportunity, why worry so much? After all, robbing a loose cultivator won't leave behind any significant trouble. It seems he has done quite a few similar things in the past.

"You, with the surname Yang, what do you mean? Do you not understand that taking our things requires some form of compensation?"

However, just as Yi Yangzi intended to search for Su Youming's whereabouts, he noticed a fierce glint in Su Youming's eyes. Realizing that something was amiss, he quickly shouted, "Not good, let's hurry and leave"

"How could I possibly do that?" Yun Yang was calculating in his mind, "You see, I can't carry that many things by myself. What's the use of taking things I can't carry?" As he spoke, he looked eagerly at Yi Yangzi, his intentions clear.

The saying goes, "To take someone's money is to help them avert disaster." Since Yun Yang has taken their crystals, it indicates that he is willing to assist them

However, now that both sides have initiated a conversation, he cannot remain unresponsive. "In fact, I originally did not intend to intervene in your conflict, but since both of you have so enthusiastically invited me, I will foolishly take on the role of a mediator. Mr. Su, you should return what you have deceitfully taken from them, and from now on, Feng Yimen will no longer pursue this matter, how about that"

Fortunately, Yang Tian's Nascent Soul inherently contains insights into realms; otherwise, it would be questionable whether he could cultivate into a Loose Immortal body. Currently, all he knows are a few formations and some restrictive techniques, and nothing else. Otherwise, how could he have escaped so quickly? One must at least learn some skills to venture out; there truly isn't much left to learn.

Even though there was no major issue, Yun Yang felt a surge of anger. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Yuzi over there unleashed a palm thunder that had no effect, and immediately summoned a flying sword to stab over, giving him no chance at all

"Run, you little brat, run for me to see!" one of the men sneered, then thrust a flying sword at Su Youming, instantly severing his right foot, causing Su Youming to faint on the spot

However, since there is such a great opportunity for oneself, wouldn't it be a disservice to oneself not to extract a bit more from it

Upon hearing Yun Yang's words, he was nearly infuriated; this fellow was truly outrageous. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Yuzi, who was also the master uncle of Yi Yangzi and the others, noticed the spiritual artifact in Yun Yang's hand. Seeing the unusual expression on his face, Yun Yang quickly stored the Tianluo Robe into his storage bracelet.

However, just as he was being calculative, several piercing sounds suddenly came from below, and in the blink of an eye, several figures ascended.

Yiyangzi saw Su Youming take out the Tianluo robe for Yunyang and quickly said, implying that since you took our crystal stones first, you must help us first. We only want to retrieve our belongings, and the rest is up to you.

"Hehe, it seems that neither of you is a good person. Therefore, today I will exorcise both of you at once." Saying this, he struck a palm thunder towards Yun Yang.
