Rong Yi obtained the Petal Technique, Petal Rain Slash, a powerful Spirit ranked technique.

Gang Tie obtained Twin Iron Gauntlets, a good Earth weapon, that deals powerful Metal attacks.

Bai Ye Qing was quite lucky, obtaining the Hundred Freezing Barrage, a mighty Sage technique. “Heavens! This is a sage technique!” Gang Tie and Rong Yi were quick to express their congratulations and Han Ling merely gave a thumbs up at that.

“Right my turn…”

“For you, human, since you are profound in Lightning, I have awarded you with three items, please accept them.”

Han Ling took the first item, surprised to find a necklace imbued with powerful Lightning Qi. “A rank 4 Thunder Soul core?” Han Ling immediately absorbed it, his Elemental Zenith of Lightning quickly moved to 40%.

The next item was a technique scroll, the Tenacious Thunderbolt, a powerful Sage technique utilizing the destructive power of lightning and flames.

The last was probably the best of all, Han Ling could feel immense amount of lightning coming off the single scroll. The Thunder Tiger Sage then spoke, “This was created by me when I reached the power of a Sage Lord, it was inspired by an Emperor of my time, please use it well.”

Item: Thunderous Overload Bolt

Rank: Sage Lord

Cultivation level required: 6th rank Immortal Supreme.

Description: Taken from an unknown Emperor technique lost to the ages, take a small power of the heavens and strike down armies in a single bolt.

Han Ling gripped the scroll hard, shaking in happiness at his strength, but also lamenting his weak cultivation. He sighed, keeping the scroll in his void space.

“As you have gotten your rewards, I shall return you to the outside world, farewell humans.”

The four of them were sheathed in gold and disappeared in an instant.

Bai Qing Tian watched the approaching group with a certain wariness, he walked up to the leader of the group, sternly speaking, “What brings the Northern Avenging Sect to these parts?”

The leader of the group snorted, “It is nothing to concern the White Tiger Sect.” the group then shoved past Bai Qing Tian and made their way to wait outside the Chance of Fate.

“I have a bad feeling about this…” Qing Tian brought a communication amulet to his mouth and spoke.

A few minutes later a bright gold glow appeared and streaks of light flew out the Chance of Fate, revealing groups of people, most ragged and confused. Bai Qing Tian beamed happily when he saw Bai Ye Qing walking up to him.

Bai Qing Tian froze, grinning with pride as he felt the beginning stages of a Immortal Spirit aura leak from the young man, “Heavens! How did you become an Immortal Spirit in such a short time?!” Those who heard him gasped in shock, White Tiger Sect members rushed up to Ye Qing, giving him congratulations.

Han Ling scratched the back of his head with a sigh of relief, tired but still wanting to become stronger. “Thunderous Overload Bolt… it’ll be an amazing power once I can master it… but I’ll need to reach 6th rank first… haaa, this will take a while…”

Just then he felt a chill behind him and he activated his All-Seeing Void, not turning around but sensing his way through the crowd of people. “Ah, I was expecting this…” Han Ling found the source of the chill, it was a black cloaked man. With a bit of scanning Han Ling immediately knew who the person was.

Name: Avenging Supreme Ching

Physique: Revenge Qi Manifestation Physique (Top 100)

Cultivation level: 4th Step Immortal Supreme

Techniques: Earth Tomb, Eight Ways of Vengeance

Han Ling frowned slightly but then focused on the second person next to the man.

Name: Avenging Supreme Heng

Physique: Revenge Qi Embodiment Physique (Top 100)

Cultivation level: 3rd Step Immortal Supreme

Techniques: Eight Ways of Vengeance, Supreme Avenging Strike, Ice Spikes

“Another Immortal Supreme? Interesting… why would the Avenging Sage want to obtain the talisman so badly?” Han Ling muttered under his breath, pondering on what he should do. “Guess I’ll have to interrogate them…” A terrible smile appeared on Han Ling’s face.

>>>

“It’s strange, he would be out by now…” Avenging Supreme Heng muttered under his breath, glaring at the Bai Ye Qing still surrounded by his sect. “Kung should have killed him in the Chance of Fate, why did he let him off?”

Avenging Supreme Ching, a middle-aged man frowned under his cloak, “Our spies were wrong, Bai Ye Qing isn’t a Spirit Master, but is at the beginning stages of an Immortal Spirit!”

Heng widened his eyes, “You checked with your Revenger Eye?” The man nodded, “The information was wrong, Kung may have underestimated him and fell in the Chance of Fate.”

Heng growled, “That damn idiot, bragging about his power when he was so weak! Argh! Now we have clean up after him.” “Calm down, Heng. The master instructed us to only take the talisman, by force if need be, but we can’t just barge into the White Tiger Sect and take their Sect Leader’s only son.”

“What do you suggest, Ching?” the man pondered for a while before smiling, “We’ll ambush them as they return, I’ll distract the guards and you’ll take him.”

Heng grinned, “An easy job.”

They both glared at the young man, unaware of the dragon looming over them.

Han Ling sighed out in boredom, riding on the slow carriage back to the White Tiger Sect, if he didn’t have any ulterior motives he wouldn’t be riding on such a slow carriage.

“Brother Han Ling!” Han Ling groaned, turning around to face the beaming Ye Qing, looking almost like a little puppy, “Did you see? Everyone was so surprised! Hehehe, this is all thanks to brother Han Ling!”

Han Ling sighed, “I didn’t do much…”

He froze.

“Looks like their moving.”

Bai Ye Qing tilted his head to the side just as a red qi claw tore the carriage apart, on the other side was a black cloaked man. “You’re coming with me!” He reached out to grab Ye Qing with a speed too fast for a mere Immortal Spirit to see.

“I’ve been waiting you damn Avenging Bastards!” Han Ling blocked the claw with similar force, even slightly overpowering the man. “What!? Who are you?” Heng cried it in confusion, “The one who will be interrogating you bastards.”

A palm slammed into Heng’s chest, a bolt of lightning blasting out the other side of this chest. “Guh!” He coughed out a mouthful of blood as he flew towards the forest. “Stay here.” Han Ling told Ye Qing, zooming towards the man in a single breath.

[Lightning Speed]

Han Ling turned into a streak of light, catching up to the blasted Heng. “What!?” Han Ling grabbed his head, and slammed him into the ground, dragging him along the dirt before flinging him onto a tree.

CRACK!

The tree cracked as Heng slammed into it, the man staggering to his feet, assuming a stance.

“W-Who are you?” “I told you.” Han Ling stepped towards Heng, before suddenly appearing in front of him, “I’m your interrogator.”

WHAM!

A fist dug into Heng’s stomach and he coughed blood, another fist slammed his face, knocking him in the air before a palm slammed his through the tree.

The hapless man groaned, attempting to throw a punch at the assailant, red qi formed around the man’s hand, but missing Han Ling’s head.

BOOM!

His body was knocked in the air, before being slammed down by a bolt of thunder. “Guh…” Heng groaned, completely obliterated by the young man. “Hmph, you’re a lot weaker than I expected.” Han Ling grabbed the man’s head, pulling his head up to face him, “So…”

His eyes glowed a deep purple, lightning arced his body, a few jolts sending pain into Heng’s brain. “ARGHHHHH!!!!”

“Tell me, what does the Avenging Sage want with the Talisman? Are you with the Demonic Blood Cult?”

Heng only glared at Han Ling, to which he promptly test the Tenacious Thunderbolt, shocking Avenging Supreme Heng close to death. “Now you willing to talk?”

Heng, on the verge of death, gave up and spoke.

>>>

“Strange… Where’s Heng?” Avenging Supreme Ching frowned under his cloak, sweating slightly after successfully evading the guards of the White Tiger Sect. “He should be back with that brat…”

“Too bad.”

A voice Ching didn’t recognized sounded and he immediately stomped the ground, sending a wave of earth spikes to the voice.

A bolt of lightning slammed through the spikes, obliterated the attack in an instant. “What!?” Ching’s eye’s widened considerably, “Lightning broke through my earth!?” he immediately knew he was up against a powerful opponent.

“Who are you! The Grand Elder of the White Tiger Sect?” Ching raised both arms, red qi flowing through both hands, ready to strike at an instant.

“Nope.” The voice was right next to Ching, his face paled as he realized a sword hovered inches from his neck, feeling the incredible cold sharpness from the blade. “W-Who are you?!” “Why do you people always ask questions like these?”

The unknown person sighed, “Tell Avenging Sage, ‘Demon Three’ has taken the White Tiger Talisman.” Ching froze, eyes quivering as shock and fear registered. “D-Demon three!! W-what happened to Heng?”

“He attacked me, so I killed him.” the man replied easily. Ching gulped down his fear, nodding as he understood. “I will inform the Avenging Sage…”

“Good.” And the voice disappeared.

Ching panted as all his fear was released, relief swelling inside him. “To think the White Tiger Sect was targeted by Demon Three… I pity them…”

Little did he know ‘Demon Three’ was never there…
