Trouble comes knocking
"You bastard I will reunite with your woman in hell, It's such a shame I couldn't taste her"
Yun Gou had gotten mad from the torture and was now straight up taunting him, to be granted an early death.
"Enough Ding Hu lemme show you something"
Ding Hu reluctantly backed away.
Long Chen put his palm on Yun Gou's face.
"Devour "
"Ahhh stoopppppp"
He tried devouring Yun Gou's soul.
The pain of the soul is much more intense than the body.
Slowly but steadily bit and pieces of Yun Gou's soul were being fragmented. Making him feel levels of pain he didn't think were even possible.
Yun Gou started howling like made, his soul was being sucked away.
After an hour, Yun Gou's corpse fell.
Ding Hu blanked out for a moment before he had a determined expression on his face. Looking at Long Chen his face held utmost devotion and worship.
Like a cult member seeing a god.
The air about him subtly changed from a deranged madman he morphed into an insane warrior.
"I Ding Hu swear to the heavens, that I will serve Long Chen as my lord. If I go back on my words, may the heavens smite me dead"
Ding Hu kneeling and Long Chen standing at the corner of a magma lake.
It made a picturesque setting.
Little did they expect that these 2 men are not only gonna overturn this continent but even the entire mortal world will be a witness to how these 2 overturned the heavens.
"Brat I have to admit you are too ruthless"
The Yama Emperor finally yielded about Long Chen's ways.
Seeing what they did to Yun Gou made a chill run up his spine.
Long Chen just smiled in response
"Alright let's go, we gotta clear the area fast"
Saying that both of them cleaned the entire scene before disappearing into a nearby forest.
"How are the others ?"
"Young master I am not sure I was the first one to touch upon embryonic level of intent"
Long Chen nodded, as he expected this.
"Alright let's rendezvous with them"
Said Long Chen while picking up He Mao who had slept beside the shore all this while.
Even Long Chen was surprised at how nonchalant it was being.
Sensing Long Chen's gaze, she raised her head and looked at Long Chen smugly. As if implying how everything here is trash to us.
"Tch"
The 3 of them traveled a couple of days before they were able to enter the area with intent suppression.
.
.
.
2 days before that
On a desolate mountain, the eerie silence was interrupted by the howling of winds produced by 3 youths fighting.
Qi condensation cultivators can't project any energy outside, despite this the 3 youths had a hue surrounding them.
The fat boy has a greenish hue around him and the pretty girls had red and blue hues around.
The Hue's themselves were exerting a pressure that seemed ethereal.
The Youths were naturally Fang Qian, Fang Qingmei, and Bei Youer.
"Hahaha this is amazing" Fang Qian Commented while laughing.
His moments seemed suave and smooth.
He was practically floating on the ground trying to appear like a deity but in reality, he appeared more like a pervert.
"Yeah I feel I can even replenish a little bit of my intent during battle"
"This is just the intent seed, I wonder how strong intent really is"
Even Fang Qingmei and Bei Youer were very much satisfied.
Suddenly Fang Qian's face turned solemn.
"I think we are gonna have some company"
"Those bastards have gathered below the mountain, but after fatty beat some of em up, They didn't dare come up"
Fang Qingmei thought out loud.
.
.
.
A large group was gathered, at the foot of the mountain.
All of them were feeling anxious about what's above, but seeing what happened to the ones who recklessly tried to charge in, They held back their curiosity.
While everyone was awaiting a smaller group of people, adorning Luxurious clothes a dragon tattooed on them.
Seeing this group everyone made their way.
Long Bai was in a bad mood all along the way, his eyes were narrowed and appeared like he was gonna snap if someone so much as breathes a little loudly in front of him.
He had been thrashed like a dog by Long Chen, in front of everyone, and to add insult to injury, He had a pretty mediocre harvest in this realm. Whereas he had heard how Long Chen beat the crap out of Wang Clan disciples and bagged a ton of black grade herbs.
"Why are you not climbing up"
Long Bai harshly asked everyone.
"Young master, Long Chen's companions are on top of the mountain and they refused to let us in"
"Yeah they are really arrogant"
"Young master they have hogged all the mountain for themselves"
"Tch how dare they do so"
'I feel very suppressed here, the pressure may be akin to something released by an ancient artifact'
Thinking along those lines Long Bai's eyes widened.
But suddenly a thought popped into his mind.
"Is Long Chen there ?" Long Bai tried making an indifferent face, but it miserably failed to make him look awkward.
Everyone around him felt his awkwardness but they did not dare to bring it up.
"No young master, it's one fatty and 2 beautiful women"
"What do you think ?" Long Bai turned to the man on his right.
Du Hao was a lean man whose presence was almost invisible but the moment everyone laid their eyes on him, they were stunned by the pressure he was giving out.
"H-half step essence gathering"
"There is definitely some sort of treasure there, but seeing that suppression hasn't been reduced one bit. We could assume it's still there"
Du Hao replied barely opening his eyelids.
Long Bai mentally clicked his tongue, he was put off by Du Hao's indifferent attitude.
Especially considering how much of a price he paid to hire him.
'Focus now is not the time to dwell on petty differences
While they were discussing the possibilities that laid on the mountain, they saw Fang Qian and company coming down.
Seeing them Long Bai snickered.
"Hey you, yeah you fatty how dare you monopolize the entire mountain for yourself."
"Shut up you mutt, my brother Long Chen just beat you like a dead dog and you dare to bluster before me"
Just hearing about this incident made Long Bai's face turn blue before turning to green.
Seeing this Fang Qian smirked and gestured for the group to walk away.
"Hey, hey hey where are you going ?" Long Bai hysterically barked.
"What don't you wanna see what's above? go ahead but we got shit to do"
"Haha now don't think you can walk away just like that. Who knows if you have already taken the treasure"
"What do you want Long Bai ?"
"Hehe leave your rings behind….."
"Damn you-"
"and those 2 girls are also mighty fine, I would like to invite Long Chen to collect them from my clan"
Saying that Long Bai showed a maddening grin.
It was as if some switch had been put off inside him.
Fang Qian's expression turned solemn, before he could say anything Bei Youer beat him to it.
"Fatty don't be a little bitch this bastard is asking for it. Take the back, I'll take the front and Qingmei will be in the center"
Bei Youer tightened the hold on her ax
"Yeah fatty don't tell me you are scared of this mutt"
Qingmei also stepped up.
Seeing these 2 women step up, Fang Qian had a bitter expression on his face.
Seeing the situation escalate Long Bai smirked.
"Du Hao capture those girls alive hehe, as for this fatty kill him"
'Swish'
Long Bai's smile was cut short by an arrow that went straight up slicing a bit of his face.
"Alright lemme show these mutts what's it all about"
"Argh"
"move idiot"
All the Long Clan members were being showered by arrows.
By making use of his intent and inconspicuous manner Fang Qian was much better able to control the direction of arrows.
Seeing this Bei Youer and Fang Qingmei looked at each other and smiled.
Du Hao jumped high and landed before Qingmei, before he could even grab her a blue shield appeared, blocking his hand.
'Slam'
He got hit on the side with an ax making him take a step back.
"W-what is this"
"Tch it's an array you dumbass"
Before Leaving Long Chen had inscribed the Serpent Locking Array for the three of them.
Making use of that Bei Youer started ferociously attacking Du Hao.
'tsh''tsh'
Du Hao fought back but all his attacks were being neutralized putting him In a precarious position.
"DAMN IT THAT LONG CHEN AGAIN"
Using his subordinates as shields Long Bai dashed towards Fang Qian, but before he could even reach him he suddenly felt DEATH.
'Swish'
Rolling on the ground he dodged the attack to find Fang Qingmei standing there with a spear.
Throwing caution to the wind he took out a sword and started fencing intensely.
Still, despite his mental condition, he was easily able to dodge all of her attacks.
"All of you help me kill these bastards, I promise I will reward you with 100k silver each. This is my word as the Long Clan's young master" Long Bai barked while pointing at the crowd
"Tch you bastard, there is no way you are getting out of here alive" Fang Qian mocked.
Some of them were tempted, but nobody wanted to be the first one to join in the fun.
One of them couldn't resist, but before he was stopped by one of his companions.
"Don't go, you will regret it"
"Man 100 thousand silver that's a lot, birds die for food and men die for gold, I really want that besides there is no way I will get in trouble for this"
"You really are an idiot, if you go now, not only will these guys treat you like cannon fodder, How many people besides you do you think will snitch on you"
While saying that he cast his gaze on the people around him.
Seeing the look in their eyes he shut up and sat back down.
Meanwhile Fang Qian and co. Were absolutely dominating the Long Clan.
