.....
At night, at the home of Elder Liu Bang.
"What were my instructions to you? See what you did!" In the study room, Elder Liu Bang slammed the table, exploding with a rage.
The instructor stood opposite this old man, his head lowered. His eyes were full of fear and rage. He was afraid of Elder Liu Bang and also felt anger towards Liu Yang.
"Grandpa, you don't have to be so angry. Liu Yang insulted me in front of all the students, and I wanted to teach him a lesson he won't forget, but I didn't expect his martial arts to be that strong." The instructor said indignantly.
Elder Liu Bang furiously scowled, "You still have the cheeks to say that! Have your wings grown so tough now that you don't even put my words to heart, hmm? What I told you before, you have forgotten all about it!"
The instructor's task was to win the hearts of the students before they graduated in order for Elder Liu Bang's influence to increase in the clan in the future.
"Your grandson dares not!" The instructor jumped in shock. He knew now that his grandfather was really angry and quickly kneeled down.
Elder Liu Bang pointed his finger out the window and scolded,"You are showing hostility towards Liu Yang, this is really a matter of you being short sighted and unclear of the implications! Do you know the significance of your actions? You as a coach should not harm students or attempt to do so unless you have a rationale for doing so. These are the rules! Now that you went to find trouble with Liu Yang, it means you are breaking the rules. I can't tell how many people are out there now, looking at this disgrace of our family!"
"Grandpa, please calm down, anger will harm your body. It's my fault, I burdened the family. Whatever Grandpa tells me to do, I will do it! But your grandson really cannot take this lying down, that Liu Yang is too despicable, too shameless. I have been a coach in the academy for five years and have experience teaching students but this Liu Yang deliberately mocked my teaching method to make me laugh in front of the students."
"after that in order to scare him, I challenged him to a fight and made him attack me but Liu Yang showed a very great talent in martial arts He used martial arts that I hadn't seen before and claimed that he was the one who created it."
"The problem is not here, since I started the academy he hasn't complained about my teaching method before, but suddenly today he took a step against me, he must be planning something."
"Also the martial arts that he showed are the pinnacle of martial arts and his martial arts may be number one in the world." The instructor reported.
"Oh, is that so?" Elder Liu Bang frowned. This was the first time he had heard this information and a bright light shone across his eyes.
He took in a deep breath, suppressing his rage and he stroked his beard while saying, "The clan leader has kept a lot of information from us about her son and daughter, And we only learned recently that they showed intelligence when they were children. In the end, both her son and daughter got A-grade talent in the Awakening Ceremony."
Pausing for a second, Elder Liu Bang clicked his finger on the table and bemoaned, "And now that he's showing talent in martial arts, I kind of feel sorry that someone with such talent had to die."
The instructor looked at Elder Liu Bang with a complicated look on his face, "Grandpa, please tell your inexperienced grandson why we should betray the clan."
Elder Liu Bang squinted his eyes and said in a complicated tone. "It's not that I want to betray the clan but that I do it for the sake of our real clan and our survival. Remember this well we are not from the Liu clan but we are from the Yang clan."
Three hundred years ago, the Yang clan planted spies in the Liu clan, because they coveted the Liu clan's Qi path inheritance because it was a very rare path.
Their plan was to send a spy who would blend in with the Liu clan and mate with them and then take over the Liu clan from within.
The spy observed and studied the behavior of a member of the Liu clan, and when he knew everything about him, he killed him and then disguised his appearance and blended with the Liu clan.
Then the descendant of that spy compulsorily inherited his mission by means of a poison vow Gu.
Poison Vow Gu was a consumable type Gu.
Poison Vow Gu is used to make an agreement with other person that cannot be broken.
Poison Vow Gu ability, it contained the law of restriction, once it were implanted, it stays in a Gu Master's body to restrict them. If a one of the side violate the agreement, the Poison Vow Gu would automatic activated, explodes and the person will turn into a puddle of blood and instantly die.
Because of that, the Yang clan knew everything that was going on in the Liu clan, and the Yang clan also obtained many Qi path Gu purification recipes and most of the Liu clan's inheritance.
The Yang clan had almost achieved their goal but they wanted to control the entire Liu clan.
Ten years ago, the Yang clan came close to achieving its goal of secretly controlling the Liu clan because Elder Liu Bang was a candidate to be the next leader, but Liu Liu turned the tables and became the clan leader and achieved many achievements.
(Ten years ago, Elder Liu Bang was the leader of the faction who wanted to go to the Shang Clan and become their followers. In other words, he wanted to become a spy of the Yang clan within the Shang clan.)
Now because of the talent that Liu Yang and his sister had shown, the Yang clan had given them their next mission, which was to assassinate Liu Yang and Liu Yin.
"Grandpa, I mean why don't we find a way to get rid of the Poison Vow Gu in our bodies and then be true members of the Liu clan. Although I hate Liu Yang, his future is very promising and it is likely that the Liu clan will rise to be at the top of all the clans in Southern Border." The instructor was puzzled, why in three hundred years none of his ancestors had made an attempt to remove the Poison Vow Gu.
Elder Liu Bang sighed deeply, "There were rumors that the Yang clan had an Immortal, I don't know if this is true or not because no one in the world has seen an Immortal before. If we remove Poison Vow Gu and betray the Yang clan, I don't know what might happen next."
"Then why wouldn't that immortal destroy the Liu Clan?" The more the discussion, the more confused The instructor.
"No immortal will attack us because there is a rule for all immortals on the righteous path, which is not to interfere in mortal affairs." From the dark corner of the room a young man appeared with a gentle smile.
The young man was tall and straight body like a pine tree. His face was as pretty as jade, and his facial features resembled those of a carved stone statue. He exuded an astonishing charm, and the smile that curved the corners of his lips made one feel at ease.
But that smile struck terror in the heart of Elder Liu Bang and the instructor.
"How did you get here?" Elder Liu Bang and the instructor both assumed a combative posture while looking at Liu Yang but their real focus was on their surroundings, because to them Liu Yang was not the real threat.
"Don't worry, there's no one here but me." Liu Yang spoke confidently as he pulled a chair out of nowhere and sat on it and then put his right leg on his left leg.
Certainly Elder Liu Bang and his grandson would not believe Liu Yang even though he was telling the truth, Elder Liu Bang looked at Liu Yang's expression and then thought,
'He is very calm even though he is a Rank One Gu Master. The house must have been surrounded by clan members or the clan leader is hiding nearby to intervene at any moment if we attack her son.'
In Elder Liu Bang's thinking, it was impossible for a rank one Gu Master to sit in front of a rank four Gu Master and be so calm, especially since there was a possibility that he had heard that their goal was to kill him.
Elder Liu Bang smiled and pretended to loosen his defense, "Young master what a surprise, no one told me you were coming to visit this old man."
'I have to escape from here quickly, but if I take the wrong direction and go towards the clan leader, I'll be done. But do I really have a chance to escape a rank five Gu Master.' Although he appeared to be calm, Elder Liu Bang was very worried. 'I guess I have no chance of escaping from a rank five Gu Master, so my only chance is to take her son hostage. Even if I can't take him hostage, I must at least kill him before I die.'
As he thought about this, he slowly started walking towards Liu Yang while watching the surroundings cautiously, the moment the clan leader would appear he would make a suicide attack to kill Liu Yang.
"I came to apologize to the instructor, but by mistake I heard the instructor's question about the immortals, so I wanted to share my information about them." Liu Yang let out a chuckle.
"Young Master, you didn't do anything wrong. My grandson was not in a good coach in the academy so he deserved what happened to him." At this moment, Elder Liu Bang was one foot away from Liu Yang but the clan leader didn't appear so he started to question what Whether the clan leader really exists or not
Liu Yang sighed and spoke indifferently for the first time, "This is annoying, there is no need to act or say nonsense anymore."
Hearing this, Elder Liu Bang quickly moved and grabbed Liu Yang's neck and raised him with one hand, "Clan leader, if you don't want your son's neck to be broken you have to listen to my requests and carry out."
"As I said, there is no one here but us." One of them patted Elder Liu Bang's shoulder and then Liu Yang's voice came from behind him with intense killing intent causing sweat to appear on his back and looked at Liu Yang who was holding him and saw him disappear as if he was a mirage.
"An illusion?" He tried to get away quickly but suddenly so much pressure was put on him causing him to knock you to the ground and lose the ability to move and even when he tried to use Gu worms he failed.
Elder Liu Bang looked at Liu Yang's smile and felt a fear he had never felt in his life before, "Who are you?"
"Isn't that obvious from my appearance?" Liu Yang looked at the old man in front of him coldly and then stomped on his head.
"Impossible, Liu Yang is a rank one Gu Master. He can't do this to me" Elder Liu Bang's eyes became bloodshot.
"You're wrong. I am a rank two Gu Master." While Liu Yang was talking to the old man, the coach tried to attack him from behind, but Liu Yang used the same killer move on him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"You lie." Elder Liu Bang couldn't believe it, even if Liu Yang was a rank two Gu Master, he couldn't defeat a rank four Gu Master like him.
"Whether I'm lying or not, your end will be very miserable." Liu Yang's voice was indifferent. "I used a Gu worm to record the conversation of you and your grandson, so your betrayal was proven. According to the rules of the clan, you and all your family members will be executed, and no one will be spared, even women, children, the elderly and even your servants, everyone will be executed."
"Please let the kids live, they don't know anything." Elder Liu Bang moved with difficulty and grabbed Liu Yang's leg and started pleading.
Liu Yang looked at the old man coldly and then stepped on his mouth to silence him, "No one will survive, when weeds are removed they must be removed from the roots. When these children grow up they will have a grudge toward the clan."
"In fact, I knew about your betrayal a long time ago and could have killed you a long time ago. Do you know why I didn't do it?" The old man definitely could not answer Liu Yang's question because Liu Yang's foot stepped on his mouth.
"Because killing you will not bring me any benefit. In fact, killing you would be a great waste. That is why I plan to use you to take compensation from the Yang clan."
"But the Yang clan will not give compensation even if I give them the recording of your conversation because they will say that this is just a fabrication and accusation or Gu worms have been manipulated."
"That is why I decided to use Iron Mask's (Kai Wei) relationship with the Tie Clan to ask the number one investigator of the Southern Border, Divine Investigator Tie Xue Leng, to investigate this matter and bring justice to the Liu Clan."
"I believe that in a few days the Divine Investigator will arrive." Liu Yang had asked for help from the Divine Investigator about a year ago, and because he was busy solving many cases and arresting the Gu Masters of the demonic path, he had no time to come to the Liu Clan, but due to the relationship with Kai Wei, he finally agreed to the task and would arrive in a few days.
