"Do you really want to do that!" Spoke to the man in black clothes.
"What choice do I have left?" Yang Lee's expression was dark. He was struggling, but he knew that he didn't have any other choice. As the matter of fact, he did, but he couldn't choose that choice.
"You might not return alive after submitting what you didn't even do" the man in black clothes was smiling.
"Well, don't pretend you're thinking about me. After all, you're a beast." Yang lee was going to make an ultimate sacrifice. After all, what could be the ultimate sacrifice if not one's life? And why was this considered an ultimate sacrifice? Simple, because he was willing to accept the blame of the ones he believed to be his friends.
"Oh, you know that if you go in there tomorrow, you'll be punished even if you are not guilty. How can they be considered your friends if they're willing to sacrifice you for their benefit just because the leader will kill their families if they don't accept his offer." The man in black clothes was smiling as if enjoying his time.
"Forget it, just don't disturb me and go" yang lee spoke as if he was annoyed by the man.
"Ok, as you wish but don't regret it later. I gave you a choice, but you rejected it." The man in black clothes turned around and left.
The man in black clothes was the son of the leader and wanted to recruit him in overtaking the leader's position. He was very ambitious, and that's why he wanted to recruit Yang Lee even though he knew that Yang Lee was going to be punished.
Yang Lee was blamed for killing a woman's husband and her sons and the witnesses were supposed to be his friends. The leader was very cunning, he knew that if Yang Lee's friends gave testimony, nobody would be able to stop him from punishing Yang Lee. Because he believed that Yang Lee was a threat to his position, he had to eliminate him. Yang Lee's reputation in the sect was more than the leader because of his kindness and the habit of helping mortals including his enemies.
Yang Lee was already 28 years old. He was transmigrated from the earth. Because his habit of being pretentious left him alone and was often bullied by his colleagues at work, when he transmigrated he promised himself that he would win everyone's heart and help everyone so that he won't be alone anymore and also because he knew the feeling of being bullied by everyone but there was nobody to comfort him. Because of it, he was very kind-hearted in this world and even helped his enemies, even though this world followed the rule of the jungle.
So how could he think of himself and not accept the blame of his friends?
Even if he didn't accept the blame he knew there was no way for him to get out of this situation because who would believe him if there were so many witnesses including his friends? If he somehow managed to prove himself innocent, his friends would be punished instead because the people of the sect won't tolerate what his friends did to the one who sacrificed everything for their sake, for this the leader would be forced to punish them if he wanted to save his position as a Leader. No matter how strong the leader was he couldn't face the pressure of the whole sect, and he also needed the sect if he wanted to be the leader.
At this moment Yang Lee was imprisoned waiting for his trial. He was leaning against the wall seemingly thinking of something. He had narrow eyebrows, his eyes were light red, and he had light brown hair, he was not tall nor short. His shoulders were wide and had a tough body, this was the fruit of his hard work. He was handsome and looked like a fallen hero. His clothes were tattered, seemingly he fought recently. And there was blood on his clothes. The room was dark and there were guards outside.
At this moment Yang Lee's thoughts were: Am I doing the right thing? Maybe I shouldn't have gotten closer to so many people.
"No, I'm doing the right thing," Yang Lee muttered to himself.
At this moment the door suddenly opened, and the room was lit slightly. Yang Lee looked over and saw that the guards were coming over to him, they grabbed Yang Lee from his arms and shouted"Let's go, the court of the elders is waiting for you".
They pushed Yang Lee forward and brought him in front of a large hall. The hall was big and was covered in jade, its door was quite large with wolf patterns on it.
"Go in," shouted the guards. The door suddenly opened, and the elders were sitting in two rows. In the middle was standing a woman and on the opposite side were his friends. The leader was sitting on the throne expressionlessly, which was made of jade and both sides of the throne had wolf patterns.
When Yang Lee entered, the woman started crying painfully as if nobody in the world was sadder than her. She had wrinkles on her face. She was already old. Yang Lee didn't blame her. After all, what right did he have to blame the woman, when he didn't even blame his friends?
"Yang Lee, you're blamed for killing this woman's husband and her sons, do you accept that?" Said the leader expressionlessly.
"No, I didn't do anything" how could he accept it, so be it if he was going to be framed and punished but how could he accept something he didn't even do?
"There are witnesses and some of them are even your friends," said the leader.
His friends started talking
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, I even tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen"
"I loved you for my entire life, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person"
"He was like this from the beginning, but his luck was good that he wasn't caught till now"
"Yeah, I saw it"
"He was drunk and wanted to kill his time"
Yang lee was silent, his expression was dark. He was completely heartbroken. How could they do this to him? Even though he knew why, he still couldn't accept this.
But he was happy that at least he wasn't alone in this life and that he was at least given a chance. How could he be selfish and ask for more? But he hoped that at least he should have died with honor.
"So, do you still have anything to say, even your friends are giving testimony" The leader was expressionless, but his thoughts were: so, what are you going to do now Yang Lee, let's see if you can get out of this, hehe.
Yang Lee was completely silent, not saying anything.
The leader's name was Tai Zin, and he was very ruthless to even his friends. He could do anything for the throne, but in front of the clan he was a very good leader, and his decisions were filled with justice. At this moment the entire hall was silent waiting for the leader to make a decision. Because Yang Lee was silent, the elders thought that he was accepting his crime. His friends were expressionless, but inside they were also sad, but for their families sake, they had to do it "Because killing your own blood is considered taboo, you'll be punished by death. Prepare the fire" Tai zin said expressionlessly, shocking the hall. Yang Lee's friends were shocked to the core because this wasn't the deal they had made. Tai zin told them that Yang Lee would only be imprisoned. They didn't think that Tai Zin would directly give the order of execution. "What are you doi….," one of Yang Lee's friends tried to speak, but he was directly suppressed by the leader's aura. Others tried to sp
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, another sixty years passed and Yang Zhai was already a peak stage expert of 2nd rank. He had already reached the peak stage fifty years ago but wasn't able to advance any further because he couldn't find any opportunity. Right now, he was in a forest. He had already left the Bai clan forty or so years ago to find an opportunity to advance. But he couldn't find any opportunity, instead, he had to endure many difficulties and trials on his journey. It could be said that he has gained more experience than before his transmigration into this body, not because of his battles or his journey, after all before his transmigration into this body, he was a hero who had fought many battles and journeyed more times than his current body, but because of the people and their use of other people for their own benefits. He now understood many different things about this world and the people living in this world. But understanding didn't mean that he had chang
"So beautiful, what do you think, Bae Ah?" Cho Byeol asked. "Miss, you're right, they are beautiful" Bae Ah answered "Yeah, I have never seen such beautiful flowers before. Do you think we can take them with us?" Cho Byeol said. She was smiling at the moment. She almost forgot her problems. "Miss, I don't think so. Right now, we need to deal with the situation at the hand. As for these flowers, I think they belong to someone else, we should leave as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary trouble" Bae Ah said humbly. Her expression was serious saying this. "Why would you say that we can at least stay here for a while, right" Cho Byeol insisted. Even though she said this, she also knew that Bae Ah was right. She couldn't care about the flowers at the moment and needed to deal with the situation at hand. "I have never seen such beautiful flowers before, but I wonder who grew them. After all, it isn't possible for them to grow here in such an environment without any protection. Th
Time passed, it had already been a week since they arrived at the cave. Yang Zhai was sitting at his bed, meditating. As for Cho Byeol and Bae Ah, they were sitting at the corner of the cave. They were silent right now. They had discovered in the past week that Yang Zhai didn't like to talk much. And because of this, they hadn't talked to each other in the past week.The situation was quite weird now because even though Yang Zhai forced them to stay, he hadn't done anything to them, instead, he even provided them with food. Because of this Cho Byeol tried many times to speak with Yang Zhai but every time he ignored her. This wasn't because he wanted to avoid being disturbed, but because of his personality. He was a cautious person and tried his best to stay away from people as much as possible. Even though they were just Rank 3, they were still cultivators and cultivators had many methods. He was very cautious of them. And also because he knew that if he befriended them
It was already nighttime, the moon was fully displayed. The sky was filled with stars. Near the waterfall, yellow lights, the size of the dot, were rising slowly, they covered the whole waterfall. The water of the lake was shining with the light of the moon.Two people, a man, and a woman were standing near the waterfall, in a garden, watching and appreciating the scene. And the flowers of the garden were flowing with the wind. And the sounds of cicadas were in the air. The scene was extremely beautiful, and it could make one forget about his problems."How beautiful, it's really spectacular, I've never seen such a scene before," the woman said, she was dressed in green clothes, her hair extended to her shoulder, the color of her eyes was black, and she had a perfect curvy body. Right now, she was looking extremely beautiful and graceful, just like a fairy."Didn't I say that you'll be able to see something even more amazing if you wait u
Just as the attack was about to land on Yang Zhai, a red colored light struck the wolf's stomach, the green wind wolf was sent flying by dozens of feet. Yang Zhai took the chance and took a few steps back. It was Cho Byeol."Thanks, if you hadn't helped me at the right time, I would have been severely injured" Yang Zhai hurriedly thanked Cho Byeol, while looking at the wind green wolf on the ground."Ok, but are you alright?" Cho Byeol asked while looking at Yang Zhai worriedly."Don't worry, I am fine," Yang Zhai answered.The green wind wolf struggled to stand up, it was staggering. How could it be possible that it was not going to be severely injured after Cho Byeol's attack? After all, the green wind wolf was already injured, and it wasn't ready for Cho Byeol's attack. Even if it was a rank 4 beast, it still needed to defend itself. Even if Cho Byeol's attack was weak, it was enough for the injured and defenseless wind
After Cho Byeol learned how to capture the pond beasts, they started capturing even more pond beasts. This went on for two to three hours. Every pond had a limited number of beasts. And every fish type beast was different from other fish type beasts."Tell me, how many years has it been since you've been eating them?" Cho Byeol thought of something and asked Yang Zhai."Since the time I arrived at this place," Yang Zhai answered."So, don't you get bored?" Cho Byeol was surprised when she heard what Yang Zhai said. How could someone eat the same thing for so long?"I'm already used to it, and didn't I tell you that every fish tastes different from the other. Some have the taste of fruits, some have the taste of meat while some have different kinds of tastes. That's why I don't mind eating them," Yang Zhai replied.Cho Byeol nodded when she heard this, but she still wasn't convinced, even if they had different tastes, t
It was broad daylight, the sun was high in the sky. There was grassland and a wooden house could be seen in the grassland. And a palace could be seen on the horizon. This grassland and the palace were in the territory of the Zhang Clan. "Mom, do you know what happened today," a young girl, who was covered in dust, around 8 to 9 years old was running towards a woman. The woman was sitting outside a wooden house, the surroundings were plain grasslands. She had straight long black hair extending to her waist, black eyes, she had a slim waist, and was wearing the white Shenyi with beautiful lapis blue color flower patterns on it, looking extremely beautiful. Her appearance was similar to Cho Byeol. When she saw the girl running towards her, she smiled. She stood up and picked the girl up. "What happened?" The woman looked lovingly at the girl and asked. "No, I'm not gonna, first put me on the ground, I'm covered with dust right now, and I don't want mommy to get dirty as well," the gir
"One thousand mid-grade essence stones is no small amount for a common disciple for sure." Zing Ghe thought and was impressed that the Ma clan was serious about bribing Yang Zhai. These many essence stones were nothing in front of Zing Ghe, but what surprised him was that they were being given to an ordinary disciple, who would be happy even with just 100 low-grade essence stones.Not only that, but the Kroy city's emblem was no joke, even Zing Ghe was surprised. It was like: the Ma and the Bai clans were ready to lose a huge amount of benefits with just this emblem that even 1000 mid-grade essence stones could not compare to. And at that, they were willing to even give up their nomination spot. Kroy City was no ordinary city. Even the Ma clan and Bai clan joining together were like ants in front of Kroy City."Let's do it like this, Yang Zhai, if you accept their offer, we will do everything in our power to assassinate you, even if it costs us the annihilation of the whole clan, reme
"Next, the final battle will be between Yang Zhai and Jun Haru, please come up to the stage."Yang Zhai and Jun Haru walked up the stage after hearing their names. Both stood on opposite sides of the stage, and in the middle stood Zing Ghe."Are you two ready? If you are, then begin" Zing Ghe asked the two and was about to begin the fight when he heard Jun Haru's voice."Wait,""What is it?" Zing Ghe stopped and asked."Yang Zhai, tell me, have you been happy in the Bai clan?" Said Jun Haru."Why suddenly ask that?" Yang Zhai asked with a calm face."Well, I have an offer for you, what do you s
"I don't think I need to explain the rules of the competition. So, without further ado, let us begin the final round of this competition." Zing Ghe announced the start of the final round and continued, "The first battle will be between Ke Xin and Ai Hao." Even though Zing Ghe knew that Ai Hao had died, he still called her name. The reason was that he was an over-watcher and had to follow the rules so that nobody could blame their loss on him. After all, the Bai clan could say that they lost because Zing Ghe did not call for Ai Hao and gave one victory to the Ma clan for no reason. Ke Xin walked up the stage and stood proudly as if he had conquered the competition by himself. "Look at his proud face. He should be thankful that there is no one facing him; otherwise, he would have already been thrown out off the stage.""Right, he lost his first two battles in only two fists. Two fists were all it took to defeat him in two rounds. And look at him, standing as if he has won because of
A month and two days passed, and the day of the final round of the competition had finally arrived. A huge crowd was gathered around the empty stage. On the two sides of the competition venue were two camps: one side belonged to the Ma clan and the other one to the Bai clan. Today was very important for both clans, so both clan leaders of the two clans were here. Even the second and third elders of the two clans were here. Besides them were also a few other elders.Zing Ghe came onto the stage and began his usual speech, "Today, as everyone knows, is the final round of the competition. Betting on anyone is also on. You can bet anything, even your life. As everyone knows, I am an over-watcher. I know many secrets that you don't. I not only looked over the competition, but also over what happened during the breaks that happened between the competition rounds. Allow me to introduce to you the real situation of the competition. The real Death Game!!!"When Zing Ghe spoke these words, t
Yang Zhai's arms started to change colors constantly and returned to their original color after a while. After a while, a colorless aura began to enter his arms. Si Kim sat in his place and the aura did not affect him. However, "I am unable to detect this aura's true origins, I cannot even sense to which path it belongs. But what is even more strange is that my detection method started to change itself when it touched the aura. Just what exactly is this aura?" Zihao De muttered with confusion. He did not look away from Yang Zhai and kept his focus on him. After a while, Yang Zhai's arms completely absorbed the aura that they had released a while ago. Yang Zhai's eyes opened, and he looked at the floor around him. The area of the floor around him had small cracks in it. The small particles which were moving in Yang Zhai's bones had been absorbed by his bones. Only a little while had passed when Yang Zhai's mind went blank. "Change, everything changes. A sapling becomes a tree. A
Yang Zhai took his Kas and left the room. He returned to the room that was given to him by the Clan leader. "His body cultivation talent is not ordinary, I thought he would not even be able to put a single dent in the Brown Dacite, especially after knowing that is still a kid and had not experienced the world." Zihao De said to Tai Qi after Yang Zhai left. Tai Qi, however, was pondering something about something. After a while, he said, "I am more surprised about his will. It is obvious from his performance today that he has a lot of talent for body cultivation, but being able to endure so much is beyond unbelievable. His will is too strong. Zihao De, Yang Zhai owns a strong will. Forget about others, even I don't have this much of a strong will. His determination and endurance are beyond normal. Did you notice that a few strands of his hair even turned white from the pain? And his endurance is strong even without experiencing the world yet. If he becomes evil, he will unleash a gr
"Yang Zhai, stop, that's enough." Tai Qi stood up and stopped Yang Zhai from going any further. The sun had set and It was already night. Around five percent of Yang Zhai's hair had turned white from different spots. The dents had increased from nineteen to twenty-two. His arms were swelling and so did his hands. His face had red lines below his face as if he was crying: however, this was the result of his training. Because he had punched the Brown Dacite so much that his eyes and ears had started bleeding, even his nose and mouth were bleeding. But, Yang Zhai did not care and continued his training because he knew that the Clan leader would heal him after he stopped his training, the reason was that he was needed for the final round. And this was an opportunity that he could not waste. Yang Zhai stopped after the Clan asked him to. Yang Zhai stabilized himself first and stood straight with great difficulty. Because of standing in the same stance for more than eight hours, his legs
Yang Zhai walked forward and came in front of the rock. This rock was around a normal man's size. The color of the rock was brown, filled with red lines all over it. Yang Zhai touched and moved his hand lightly on the surface of the rock and felt its smoothness. "Brown Dacite…," Yang Zhai thought. This rock was not an ordinary rock, but was used by the cultivators to check the determination of the cultivators. This rock could endure the hit of even rank 5 cultivators. There was no way Yang Zhai could break it even with his full strength. However, if he wanted to put a dent in this rock, he would have to hit the same spot again and again until his blood spilled out of his fist and touched the rock. However, the rock would continuously send shocks into his hand, preventing it from getting injured, but his bones would continuously be affected by this rock, modifying his bones slowly. The pain he feels would keep on increasing with every fist. Nevertheless, it was an opportunity for Ya
"So, how's your cultivation going?" Elder Zihao De asked Si Kim and Yang Zhai. "Elder, my cultivation is going smoothly, and I am not facing any issues in my cultivation, but brother Yang Zhai…" Si Kim replied and stopped while speaking, "Yang Zhai what?" "Brother Yang Zhai is not advancing in his cultivation, in fact, his cultivation has dropped to rank 2 early-stage." "Hmm," When Zihao De heard this, his eyes narrowed, he was surprised, at least, that was what his expression looked like. He looked at Yang Zhai with a questioning expression. However, Yang Zhai looked at Zihao De and said with a slight hesitation on his face, "No, Elder, brother Si is lying, my cultivation is going fine. There… is no problem, you don't need to worry." "Hmm, are you sure?" Zihao De looked at Yang Zhai as if he did not believe Yang Zhai. "Brother Yang, what are you saying? You clearly told me that you were having issues with your cultivation, and it was decreasing. Why are you lying now?!
