"LING FAMILY PATRIARCH STOP WHERE YOU ARE!" The voice was deafening and caused the Elders and Patriarch of the Ling family to kneel immediately. The pressure they felt from this person was so great!
This was a great cultivator in the Half-God realm!
"Greetings to the Sect Master of the Divine Tiger Sect!" Patriarch Ling started sweating, his Ling family had many ties to the Divine Tiger Sect. The plan started with them and his Young Master Xu Ling was an inner disciple.
"You fools! What is the situation!?" Lao Qing narrowed his eyes, he was very angry! When he saw the Elder of the Ling family attacking Ye Yang he panicked and got here as fast as he could. How dare these ants mess with his master?
"Reporting to the Sect Master, a young mortal has found trouble with our Ling Family! Our Elders were teaching this ignorant fellow a lesson!" The Patriarch bowed respectfully, he was confused as to why the Sect Master was curious about this mortal.
'Mortal? Did this fool just call Master a mortal?' Lao Qing narrowed his eyes, and was about to make a move on the Ling Familly when a small voice spoke out.
"Little Lao it's been quite a while since I have seen you! Your cultivation has improved greatly" Ye Yang smiled as he said this, naturally his disciples were all geniuses and Lao Qing was no exception. To be able to reach the Half-God realm was as difficult as ascending.
'Huh?' The Ling Family was confused and shocked at the youths language. Did he not know who this was? Maybe the youth was crazy! But the scene in front of them made their jaws drop.
"Master! It's been too long! I've missed you so much." Lao Qing got to his knees in front of Ye Yang and bowed while tears formed in his eyes.
'Oh my god!' The Ling Family was scared out of their wits, who was this mortal? The Ling Family knew they had kicked an iron plate and it was going to be the end of the Ling Family.
"Lao Qing, it's been millions of years since I've seen you and I can see you have made some establishments in this world!" Ye Yang was proud of his disciple, his silly disciple had grown up and become a Sect Master of a great sect.
"Master, after you left I decided to stay here to wait for you and ended up creating a foundation of my own!" Lao Qing was so happy to see that his master was proud of him.
"Master, this Ling Family has disrespected you, please allow me to settle this for you!" Lao Qing looked at the Ling Family angrily, all of them had an ugly look on their faces.
"Silly Lao Qing, you don't need to do such a thing, let's travel around as we used too!" Ye Yang smiled at his silly disciple, this fellow didn't need to make a move, naturally Ye Yang had his own means and wouldn't dirty his own hands.
"Alright, Master!" Lao Qing bowed.
"Little Ring, fetch Niu for me." Ye Yang stated.
"Yes, Master!" The ring replied and it vibrated slightly.
"It seems we are safe" the Ling Family let out a sigh as they had just dodged a huge bullet. They watched in shock as a large stagecoach pulled by a silver bull appeared on the spot. Suddenly, the silver bull transformed into a young man with a silver robe and long silver hair.
"Demon Ancestor! Please enter!" The young man was incredibly respectful and he seemed to be very excited.
'The Demon Ancestor has finally returned! Master has been in seclusion for millions of years and I have not been able to come out for a long time.'
Niu was one of the many demons directly under Ye Yang, for any demon this was the greatest honor they could ask for. But unfortunately, whenever Ye Yang went into seclusion the beasts never had any chance of coming outside. They were kept in a secret space by the Ancient Demonic Ring. The Ancient Demonic Ring was Ye Yangs second in command, and all demons respected it greatly, no one other than Ye Yang himself could control it.
"Senior Niu, it has been a long time!" Lao Qing bowed respectfully towards the man in the silver robe, the last time he saw Niu he was only in the Nascent Soul Realm himself and Senior Niu was in the Half-God realm. Naturally he was respectful.
"Don't bow to me Young Master Lao Qing! As a Disciple of the Great Demon Ancestor your status naturally exceeds mine" Niu smiled sheepishly while eyeing Ye Yang, luckily he didn't seem to be upset. How could Niu allow the Young Master to bow to him?
"Don't worry Lao Qing, as my disciple your seniority exceeds these pets of mine." Ye Yang said. The Divine Bull couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
'Only Master could call me who has reached the True-God realm a pet…'
"Niu it's been millions of years what is your cultivation level now?" Lao Qing was curious, the last time he saw him he was in the 2nd layer of the Half-God realm. Had he possibly broken through to the 3rd or 4th layer?
"Young Master Lao I'm currently in the 9th layer of the True-God realm, it's been millions of years and my cultivation increased rapidly while I've been in seclusion!" The Divine Bull said modestly.
"9th Layer of the True-God realm?" Lao Qing was shocked, he has never heard of anyone in such a high realm! He was unsure of what realm his Master was in millions of years ago, but he assumed he was a True-God because of the Half-God bull that followed him.
'If Senior Niu is at the peak of the True-God realm then what realm would master be in?' He was so shocked and very confused.
The bull smiled because he naturally knew that the human cultivator in front of him did not know the Masters complete background, it was only natural for him to be confused. But as the Bull who had accompanied the Ancient Demon Master for millions of years he naturally knew humans were unaware of Masters existence. He was always curious as to why the humans cultivators were never aware of the Ancestor of their Demons existence. It was quite strange.
"Master just how strong are you?" Lao Qing couldn't help but blurt out, but his face suddenly turned red and he looked down.
"Lao Qing my strength isn't something you can understand yet." Ye Yang said simply, this silly disciple he had picked up still spoke without thinking. He enjoyed seeing this disciple of his millions of years later, it made him reminisce in memories of the time that he and his disciples spent traveling the world and fighting others. Naturally Ye Yang only intervened when they could not fight back.
Lao Qing knew his Master was not human, but a demon, and an incredibly powerful and influential one. Everytime he and his Master would travel, all demons they came across would become respectful very quickly. Lao Qing wanted to know who his Master was most in the world, but he wasn't brave enough to ask and he wasn't sure if he could bear the consequences of knowing.
Suddenly the ground shook and a few miles away The Blood Secret Realm opened. Everyone in the city was shocked, this was a secret realm that only opened once every 10,000 years!
"Haha it seems there is a great opportunity!" The cultivators in the Tiger City were excited, if they could enter the Blood Secret Realm they might be able to obtain a life-changing opportunity!
Ye Yang looked at the Blood Secret Realm and felt a familiar aura coming from inside.
'Interesting' he thought while smiling, it seemed that he recognized something inside of it.
"Lao Qing! Come with me, little Niu let's head towards the Blood Secret Realm". Ye Yang and his disciple entered the stagecoach and the young man transformed back into the Bull and the carriage pulled away at an incredible speed.
"It seems my Ling Family dodged a bullet this time!" The Patriarch of the Ling family let out a breath and sighed. He had not imagined that the inconspicuous mortal would turn out to be such a mighty figure. He needed to think twice before acting on mortals again! The plan of the higher ups was almost completely ruined because of him! Just as the Patriarch was sighing with relief a young warrior of the Ling family ran out to the Patriarch and Elders.
"Patriarch! Elders! Not good!" The young man was frantic.
"What's wrong?" The Patriarch was confused, how could something happen right after this incident?
"Many Demonic Beasts are attacking our Ling Family members! Our Ling Family is being slaughtered! The beasts are even crushing our Palace and buildings!" The young man was shaking and it looked as though he saw a ghost.
"Not good! Let's return immediately!" The Patriarch and Elders rushed back to the Ling Family Palace and were shocked to find it in ruins.
"How could this be!"
"Our Ling Family has been destroyed!"
The surviving Ling Family members were devasted, why would these Demonic Beasts suddenly rampage their territories? But the scene of the Ling Family wailing didn't last for long.
"What is that?!" The Ling Family was shocked because suddenly they saw the shadow of what seemed to be a huge dragon.
"How could it be a dragon?! Haven't dragons been extinct since 1 million years ago?" Everyone in the Ling Family was stunned, and they could only stand there frozen while the dragon released an aura that caused the remaining Ling Family members to dissinigrate on the spot.
Billions of Miles away
The Mysterious Continent, Divine World
A man wearing a black mask and black robe looked over at the Life Tokens of the Ling Family.
"It seems that the Ling Family has fallen, I must take a look and see what happened and report that the plan has changed slightly". The man sighed, it seemed that the Ling Family caused a failure in the plans.
