Chapter 12 – Do you dare to kill me?
Yang Linghu stepped forward, ripping off his mask, and asked coldly, "Who are you? Who sent you here?"
Wang Lie opened his eyes to see two kids in their teens, and immediately his anger surged.
He, a man in his thirties, who had cultivated for so many years, was actually defeated by two little brats!
This Yang Clan was truly hateful, hiding a Qi Condensation First Layer cultivator within their ranks.
However, he wasn't too panicked at the moment, because in his eyes, Linghu and Lingrui were just two naive children, easy to deceive.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to make excuses, Yang Lingqing came out of the room, taking the initiative.
"You're Wang Lie, the second-in-command of the Wang Clan in White Stone Town."
"Uh..."
Wang Lie was taken aback by this unexpected turn, stunned on the spot.
Originally, Yang Lingqing just wanted to bluff him, as she had only seen Wang Lie's portrait and never met him in person.
Besides Wang Lie, Elder Yu had brought her portraits of cultivators from various major forces around, and she had memorized them all.
Now, seeing Wang Lie's reaction, it was undoubtedly him.
Wang Lie's mind was somewhat frozen at this moment.
Three of them?
Really?
Three young Qi Condensation cultivators, each younger than Wang Weiyang!
What kind of luck did the Yang Clan stumble upon!
The massive influx of information left him unable to process it all at once.
Before he could regain his composure, Yang Lingqing grabbed a handful of dirt and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Tiger, go to the mines immediately and call back the Ancestor."
"Got it!"
Yang Linghu swiftly leapt off the cliff, heading towards the Yang Clan Mines.
Wang Lie was completely dumbfounded. Were these three really just kids?
Why was there not a hint of panic on their faces?
Yang Lingqing and Yang Lingrui stood guard over him until Yang Guanfeng and Yang Linghu returned from the mines.
At this moment, Yang Guanfeng's expression was terrifyingly grim. He merely glared at Wang Lie, causing the latter to shiver all over.
"Lingqing, release him."
"Yes, Ancestor."
Yang Lingqing withdrew her spell technique, and Wang Lie shakily got to his feet.
"Heh... hehe, greetings to Patriarch Yang!"
"Was it Wang Xiong who sent you?" Yang Guanfeng asked.
"No, no, no! It was my own idea, the Patriarch doesn't know."
Hearing this, Yang Guanfeng's lips curled into a smile.
"Oh? He doesn't know, then that's easy to handle."
"Yes, easy to handle. I'm here to apologize, I'm willing to return to White Stone Town with you to confess and accept punishment!"
Wang Lie said this without realizing the gravity of the situation, naively thinking that as long as he admitted his mistake, and the Wang Clan compensated, it would be fine.
Little did he know, from the moment he saw Yang Linghu and Yang Lingqing, he had no chance of leaving the Yang Clan alive.
When he noticed the four people around him looking at him with strange expressions, he belatedly realized something was wrong.
"Patriarch Yang, you... ah!!!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Guanfeng broke Wang Lie's limbs.
He screamed, collapsing to the ground, writhing in pain.
Yang Guanfeng looked at Yang Lingrui, giving him a meaningful glance.
Yang Lingrui understood, nodded, and then stepped forward with a cold expression, slowly raising his right arm.
Immediately, a sharp gale wind brewed in his palm.
"What!? You dare to kill me?"
"Are you crazy! Don't you know my Wang Clan has a sect backing? You're courting death!"
"If anything happens to me, just a letter will be enough to raze your Yang Clan to the ground!"
Wang Lie shouted frantically, but the expressions of the four around him remained unchanged, instead looking at him as if he were a fool.
If that's the case, then there's even more reason not to let you leave alive.
Seeing this, Wang Lie was truly scared, hurriedly looking at Yang Lingrui, trying to make a fierce and terrifying face.
"Little brat, you dare kill me? You'll dream of me every night, I won't let you go even as a ghost!"
He tried to intimidate Yang Lingrui with words, but only received an even more determined look in return.
"The Yang Clan's path to prosperity begins, and I, Yang Lingrui, will be the sharpest blade of the family! If anyone dares to block, I'll kill them! If ghosts come to disturb, I'll slay them!"
With that, Yang Lingrui swung his hand down, the gale wind spun out, directly severing Wang Lie's head.
Wang Lie couldn't understand, how could someone so young be so ruthless, killing with such ease.
What he didn't know was that to hone the three of them, Yang Guanfeng had long led them to wipe out the bandits around Little Pine Mountain.
Together, the three had over thirty lives on their hands, so what was one more?

"Ancestor, how should we handle this man's corpse?" Yang Lingqing asked.
Originally, Yang Guanfeng intended to take Wang Lie's body to White Stone Town to demand justice, but then he thought, if the other side denied it, there was nothing he could do.
If, as Wang Lie said, the Wang Clan truly had a sect background, it might bring trouble to him and the Yang Clan.
Thinking it over, his eyes lit up.
This perfectly good Qi Condensation cultivator's body shouldn't go to waste, it would make excellent fertilizer for the Spirit Field!
Might as well destroy the body and erase all traces, as if nothing happened, would the Wang Clan come looking for trouble themselves?
With a plan in mind, he said, "Leave the body to me, you've worked hard, get some rest."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Yang Guanfeng took Wang Lie's body to the Spirit Field on the west side of the Forbidden Zone.
There, two small formations were specifically set up, unaffected by the magnetite due to their mid Qi Condensation level.
Yang Guanfeng searched Wang Lie's body, but unfortunately, the guy only brought a jet-black magnetite, nothing else.
Then he processed Wang Lie's body (crushed it), and buried it neatly under the Spirit Field.
Returning to the courtyard, he found Yang Lingqing waiting for him.
"Lingqing, is there something?"
"Yes, Ancestor."
With that, she handed Chen Yang over to Yang Guanfeng.
Yang Guanfeng showed a look of praise, "You're attentive, knowing to keep this treasure safe."
"Ancestor, actually, when Wang Lie came in, the alert formation failed."
"Oh?"
Yang Guanfeng took out the magnetite he had just found on Wang Lie.
With a little force, the formation in the Forbidden Zone began to fluctuate violently.
"So that's how this treasure is used, he used it to interfere with the formation."
Yang Guanfeng then asked, "Without the formation, how did you discover his intrusion?"
Yang Lingqing pointed to Chen Yang.
"I was in a semi-meditative state, it was the Spirit-Gathering Stone that emitted a wave and woke me up."
"What? You said it was this Spirit-Gathering Stone?"
Yang Guanfeng looked at Chen Yang in disbelief, eyes full of surprise.
In his palm, Chen Yang thought, "That's right, old Yang, it was me, impressive, right?"
Of course, Yang Guanfeng couldn't hear Chen Yang's thoughts, he was just puzzled.
This spiritual treasure was discovered in a Secret Realm, Elder Yu personally identified it as a Spirit-Gathering Stone, so it shouldn't be wrong.
Could it be that the special environment in the Secret Realm gave this stone some other function?
"Alright, I understand, you may go."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Yang Guanfeng couldn't figure out the secret, so he could only wait until tomorrow to confirm with Elder Yu in White Stone Town.
On the Wang Clan's side, Wang Xiong and Wang Weiyang stayed up all night until dawn, but Wang Lie never returned.
In the first half of the night, they were optimistic, thinking that once the matter was settled, they could swallow up several of the Yang Clan's shops.
But as time went on, they felt increasingly uneasy, growing anxious.
By now, with the sun rising, Wang Xiong's face was tightly furrowed.
Wang Weiyang stood beside him, thinking of a possibility but not daring to voice it.
They waited another day, still no news.
By the third day, Wang Xiong stopped waiting, returning to the Wang Clan's secret chamber with a dark face, Wang Weiyang following nervously.
They both knew, Wang Lie wasn't coming back.
