Chapter 72: A bloodbath to herald your birth. “You should chew on this, it will neutralize most of the poison in your body. Since the poison is already in your body, it won't be able to remove it completely, so you should still leave this forest immediately and return to the Yang clan.” Yao Jun took out the same herbs that he and Guo Luo were chewing on and handed them to the three people from the Yang clan, stuffing the herb into their mouths. The two men were slightly suspicious, but when they saw Yang Yuhuan chew away without worries, they too followed suit. “Once you return to the Yang clan, you can send a message to Yantian that he doesn't need to worry about what happened at the Guo clan. There was nothing he could do about it.” After he fed them the herbs, Yao Jun turned to Yang Yuhuan and shrugged his shoulders. Yao Jun had never expected Yun Yantian to be able to save him. The Yun clan could not afford to antagonize the Guo clan over a single stranger, even if that stranger was a friend to the future patriarch. “I can try to send him a message, but there is no telling if he will receive it. After Yun Yantian sent me a message, asking me to come here and save you, he left the Yun clan and hasn't been seen since.” Yang Yuhuan started chewing on the herb, slowly neutralizing the poison in her body. As she started talking, she could already move her shoulders and most of her arms, causing her to slightly roll her shoulders to regain the feeling in her arms. “He left the Yun clan? Why?” yao Jun was slightly surprised at this. Yun Yantian was the future patriarch of the Yun clan, he had also seemed rather nervous to return when they split up at Soaring Cloud City, why would he leave now? “He said that he couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he left to go traveling.” Yang Yuhuan slightly shook her head as she spoke. She had also been surprised at Yun Yantian's decision and questioned it, but he refused to give her a proper answer, only saying that he could no longer stand the atmosphere in the Yun clan. “I guess you don't know where he went?” Yao Jun had wanted to head to the Yun clan in the future, to meet up with Yun Yantian. Yun Yantian held an un-awakened god gate, if they manage to find out what could awaken it, there was no telling how strong Yun Yantian would become. “No, he was last seen using a Spatial Array to leave the Yun clan.” Yang Yuhuan shook her head once more. Yun Yantian was last seen using a Spatial Array to leave the Yun clan, but he never arrived at the other end of the Spatial Array. This meant that something had gone wrong with the Spatial Array while he was using it, or he had used an item to stop the transfer early. “Seems like I will just have to wait and see if we will end up meeting again at some point.” Yao Jun shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. Yun Yantian was someone that he considered a friend, so Yao Jun would check around while he was traveling, seeing if there was any information. But if there was none, he would just have to keep traveling and see if they would ever end up meeting again. After he finished talking, Yao Jun stepped away from Yang Yuhuan and walked over to Guo Luo and Sirius. The three of them then started to head towards the forest again, continuing in the direction they were heading in earlier. “Where are you going?” Yang Yuhuan called out when she saw that Yao Jun had no intention to stay behind any longer. Yao Jun was capable of easily killing Guo Shui Kang, so it was clear that he had some strength, he might even have more strength hidden away. He was also a friend of Yun Yantian, making more friends like this was always worth it. “We still have business in Zhenya valley, so we have to keep looking around. You should leave immediately.” Yao Jun didn't turn around, only waving his hand as he walked. He was not worried about anything happening to the people from the Yang clan. With Yang Yuhuan's strength, despite her being poisoned, it would not be hard for them to leave Zhenya valley alive. After his words finished, he, Guo Luo, and Sirius vanished into the forest. They would still have to hunt that Serpent type Demonic beast. While Yao Jun and Guo Luo were slowly making their way deeper into Zhenya valley, there was a meeting taking place in a certain building in Xieren City. The people taking part in this meeting were Wan Yi as well as a large amount of people whose entire bodies were covered in black robes. “This is the person I want you to impersonate during the missions, his name is Yao Jun. After the missions are complete, we will also spread the news that it was him who killed the people in Ash Barrens City.” Wan Yi sat at the head of a long table and placed a small piece of jade on the table as she spoke. After putting some Qi into the jade, an image of Yao Jun from the day the two of them met in Xieren City appeared in the air above the jade. “These are the targets, all of them have to die.” Wan Yi took out a large amount of jade slips and gave each person sitting around the table one jade slip. Inside the jade slip, a large number of names and locations were written. Each name was a person belonging to either the Demon Race or the Human Race, each one of them had a slightly important position, and each one of them could be called a terrible person. These names were not chosen at random by Wan Yi. Each person listed was someone that Yao Jun himself would be able to kill, they were also people Yao Jun would most likely kill eventually. But they all shared another trait. The people who were listed that belonged to the Human Race were people who kept fanning the flames of war between the Human Race and the Demon Race, trying to escalate their fights from training excursions into an actual war. While the people who were listed that belonged to the Demon Race were all people that stood against Wan Yi's ascension to the throne. A few of her own people were also written down as targets, so as to prevent people from believing that Yao Jun was working for her. “Is this much really necessary?” One of the men sitting at the table couldn't help but ask when he saw the amount of names written down. Killing all these people would cause a massive stir, it could even turn all three continents upside down. “Yes. For the peace of the Demon Race, we need to do this.” Wan Yi gave a strong nod as she spoke. If anyone else ascended to the throne of the Demon Race, they would only continue keeping things as they were, letting the common people of the Demon Race die to keep the relationship with the Human Race. Wan Yi firmly believed that she had to ascend to the throne, or else the Demon Race would never know peace. Yao Jun delivered her the opportunity to pave her path to the throne. He would kill these people sooner or later anyway, all she did was push his plans forward a bit. She could even be considered to be helping him, or so she told herself at least. “Very well. For the peace of the Demon Race!” The man spoke up again, heaving a heavy sigh as he spoke. He finished his words by beating his chest and shouting out his words. The rest of the people around the table also did the same. After they finished, they all left the building and headed their own separate directions, leaving Wan Yi as the only person in the building. “I'm sorry Yao Jun, but the Demon Race needs this. This world has stayed unchanging for too long already. It needs a bloodbath to shake things up, a bloodbath to herald the birth of a true Demon God.” Wan Yi walked over to a corner of the room and stopped in front of a window. She let her eyes drift over the part of Xieren City that was owned by the Demon Race as she spoke, a soft sigh escaping her lips. The world needed something to shake it up, to turn it upside down and force them to change their ways. A Demon God that did not discriminate in who he killed was exactly such a thing. She did not regret pushing this title on Yao Jun, she knew that someone had to bear this title, and there was no one better than Yao Jun to carry this title. The reason she apologized was because she knew that this meant that Yao Jun would become the entire world's enemy, someone that would be hunted wherever he went.
