Chapter 62: Wu Qing's Shock

  With a slight distortion of the space in front of them, a two-meter-long spatial rift suddenly appeared before the three. From within it emerged an unremarkable old man.

  Tian Gui and Tian Ying number two saw the appearance of the person who came, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow: "Grand Manager."

  "Tiangui, how did you take care of Young Master? If I hadn't arrived in time just now, Young Master's spirit would have been devoured by the heart demon." Tian Wuqing said with an icy expression, while slapping Tianming's silly-looking face a few times.

  Pffft! Tian Ming was slapped by Tian Wuqing and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his originally dull eyes gradually regaining their luster.

  Tian Gui heard Tian Wu Qing's words and bowed again: "The subordinate handled the matter poorly, please have the Grand Marshal punish me."

  Tian Wu Qing waved his hand casually and said: "Remember these for now, if there's a next time, you go to the Reflection Cliff to receive your punishment yourself."

  "Thank you, Great Manager Wu." Tian Gui hastily bowed and said. Others may not be clear about Tian Wuqing's status in the Tian family, but these cultivators who have reached the realm of Martial God are all aware of the meaning behind these three words. It can be said that apart from the head of the household, he is the most powerful person in the Tian family, and his cultivation is also ranked first in the Tian family. Not to mention that he is a collateral member of the Tian family, even if he were to kill the core disciples of the Tian family, it would still be futile, because he has another identity that inspires fear - the chief elder of the Tian family's Council of Elders, whose cultivation is said to be profound and unfathomable.

  "Could it be an instant kill?" Tian Wuqing glanced at the corpse of Tiān Yǐng Number One, and a sharp light burst out from his eyes as he said in a deep voice: "Tiān Guǐ, are you certain that this child's cultivation is only at the initial stage of Wǔ Shén?"

  "This..."

  Tian Wu Qing saw Tian Gui's hesitant appearance and revealed a displeased expression, saying: "What is this 'that' and what are you thinking in your heart, just say it out loud."

  "Going back to what the Grand Manager said, this child is only at the initial stage of martial god cultivation, but the feeling he gives off to those under him is extremely dangerous."

  Tian Wu Qing heard this and a cold smile appeared on his face, saying: "Heh heh, do you think the disciples taught by the Killing God will be cowards? This twenty-year-old's martial arts cultivation is indeed monstrous."

  "Grandpa Wu Qing, you've arrived."

  "Young master, you're awake." Tian Wuqing said with a kind smile on his face.

  "Wu Qing, Grandfather, this time you must take charge for Ming'er's sake. That Zhang Huaming is really too arrogant, yesterday in Gui City he allowed his subordinates to kill several of our Tianjia guards, and today he even dares to kill our Tianjia spies, it's really too much!" Tianming said with a face full of anger and tears.

  Tian Wu Qing stretched out his palm and gently patted Tian Ming's shoulder, smiling: "Young master, don't worry, I will avenge you for this grievance, but not now."

  "Why?" Tian Ming asked with a puzzled expression.

  "Alas!" Tian Wuqing sighed and said, "Young Master, you don't know that our ancestor has been away from home for some days and hasn't returned yet. At this moment, the situation on the Martial Continent is turbulent, and every family is focused on self-preservation. Those monstrous invaders from other worlds are constantly slaughtering people on the Martial Continent. If we rashly deal with this child now, it will provoke his master, and our Tian Family will be in danger. Besides, he has already entered the core area of the Death Forest, and it's extremely difficult to capture him. However, Young Master, please rest assured that when our ancestor returns, I will definitely help you take revenge."

  Tian Ming's face turned gloomy and uncertain after hearing Wu Qing's words, and he gritted his teeth before saying, "Grandfather Wu Qing, I'll listen to you tomorrow."

  "Young master, you've been out for quite some time now. Why don't you go back home first and tend to your wounds before making any further plans?"

  "Alright! Then Grandfather Wu Qing, aren't you going back?" Tian Ming's face showed a look of puzzlement.

  "Heh heh, young master, this old slave has some other matters to attend to, so I won't be traveling with you all the way."

  "Alright then!"

  "Tiangui." Tian Wuqing shouted with a serious expression on his face.

  "Belonging to the lower class."

  "You wait and immediately escort the young master back home. If anything happens to the young master, you know the consequences."

  "I understand."

  "Grandpa Wu Qing is retiring tomorrow."

  "The old slave sends off the young master." Tian Wu Qing gazed at the empty air after Tian Ming and his two companions disappeared from view, his voice cold as he said, "You've been watching for so long, do you still want to continue watching?"

  "Haha! The Tian family is still so overbearing, no wonder the master dislikes you Tian family people." A bright and cheerful laughter sounded, and in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared one meter above the ground, a short distance away from Tian Wuqing.

  Tian Wu Qing's face changed slightly as he saw the person in front of him, and he said coldly: "High-ranking Dao Master realm."

  "Haha, yours isn't bad either!" The newcomer laughed and said.

  "What brings you here?"

  "This question should be asked by me instead."

  "What does it mean?" Tian Wuqing was confused by these words from the newcomer.

  "What's going on? Ah! You guys just barged into my territory, and you're asking me what I'm doing here?"

  "Trespassing on my territory?" Tian Wuqing's expression changed again upon hearing the newcomer's words, his eyes suddenly radiating golden light as he sized up the person before him, exclaiming in a low voice: "You're actually a divine beast in human form!"

  The newcomer seemed very satisfied with Tian Wuqing's reaction and smiled as he asked in return, "What's so strange about that? Can't a divine beast change its shape?"

  "Good grief, this is bad luck. I've only just entered the Forest of Death and I've already encountered a divine beast in human form." Tian Wuqing silently cursed to himself. As a Dao Master, he naturally knew some things that others did not. For example, when it came to cultivation realms, outsiders thought that the Martial God realm was the highest, but that was not true. The Martial God realm was just the first small threshold for cultivators, while divine beasts in human form were a symbol of real power. Even if a divine beast reached maturity, it would only be equivalent to the Martial God realm's small threshold. Furthermore, if a cultivator of the same realm were to fight a divine beast, the outcome would not need to be said - they would absolutely be crushed by the divine beast.

  It seems that the newcomer saw through Tian Wu's thoughts, smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to think too much, if I wanted to find trouble with you, I would have done it earlier. I see that you didn't even get a chance to enter just now, and I don't want to look for trouble either. You can leave immediately."

  If someone else had said this to Tian Wuqing, he would have probably killed them without hesitation. But the newcomer didn't dare, because they had the power to back up their words.

  "Goodbye." Tian Wu Qing cupped his hands and said.

  "Before I change my mind, you'd better leave quickly." The newcomer said with a look of impatience, waving his hand.

  Tian Wuqing's face revealed a hint of anger after the person waved goodbye, but he didn't erupt and instead dissolved into thin air.

  Onlookers who saw this scene showed disdain on their faces and muttered, "Tsk, they won't even lift a hand in such a situation. No wonder the master said that the Tianjia people are the kind of people who bully the weak and fear the strong."

  "The Demonic Tribes are indeed despicable, they've actually opened up a passage connecting the Demon Realm, Magic Realm and the Warrior Continent. Ugh, I'm going to have to run around again. Dammit! I hate you little brats to death." The newcomer vented his frustrations on the spot before his figure merged into thin air.
