"You’ve really never seen him?" Tang Yi frowned.
"I really haven’t!" Li Fangtong said, sounding wronged.
"And you’re sure you didn’t send anyone to attack the Tang Family again?" Tang Yi pressed.
"I’m positive I didn’t send anyone to the Tang Family!" Li Fangtong nodded, his expression earnest.
Tang Yi stared into Li Fangtong’s eyes. The desperate will to survive he saw there told him the man was probably telling the truth.
After all, with his life on the line and under such intimidation from Tang Yi, how could Li Fangtong dare to hide anything? How could he possibly lie?
’Perhaps Li Fangtong truly doesn’t know anything. Perhaps the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps really has nothing to do with the destruction of the Tang Family.’
In truth, before coming here, Tang Yi had only subjectively felt that the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had a motive, which was why he assumed they were responsible.
But he had no proof.
Now, seeing that he couldn’t get any useful information out of Li Fangtong no matter how much he pressed, he instantly realized this was probably all a big mistake. He had the wrong people.
Besides... Tang Yi remembered the quest he had accepted: ’Find the culprits behind the Tang Family’s destruction!’
The quest was divided into three stages, though Tang Yi didn’t know the specifics of each one. But... ’if this really had anything to do with the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, then I should have completed the first stage by now. I’ve already attacked them and practically wiped them out.’
’Yet, there’s been no update on the quest. This proves it. The Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps really has nothing to do with my family’s destruction.’
He, Tang Yi, had truly wronged the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps...
If the dead members of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps knew Tang Yi had wrongly accused them, they would likely be furious and feel utterly wronged.
They had been inexplicably scapegoated for something they had nothing to do with. It was a grievance of epic proportions.
They didn’t even know what was going on, who Tang Yi’s father was, or what kind of Clan the Tang Family was. Yet Tang Yi had shown up on their doorstep seeking revenge and killed them. Anyone in their shoes would find it impossible to accept and would feel utterly wronged.
Of course, even knowing he had wrongly accused the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, Tang Yi didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt.
After all, the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had sent people to get revenge on him before. There was already bad blood between them.
Moreover, back in the Little Extreme Sacred Land, Tang Yi had learned from the disciples of the Heaven-Devouring Sect that the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps was actually a branch of the Earth Gate—an Influence cultivated in the Western Domain by a Sect from the Outer Domain.
The Western Domain was the West Mansion’s territory. As a disciple of the West Mansion, once Tang Yi learned the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps was an Influence secretly cultivated by the Outer Domain, he had even more reason not to tolerate their existence.
So, by annihilating the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps now, Tang Yi was also eliminating a potential threat on behalf of the West Mansion. That was an excellent outcome, so why would he feel guilty?
Tang Yi had already come to this conclusion before he even attacked the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, which was why he had acted with such ruthlessness and without restraint.
"Since you really have nothing to do with this matter, then..."
After a moment of thought, Tang Yi turned his head to Li Fangtong. The corner of his mouth curved into a brilliant smile.
Hearing Tang Yi’s words, Li Fangtong had thought he might be spared. But upon seeing that enigmatic smile and feeling the killing intent radiating from Tang Yi, he knew instantly that Tang Yi wasn’t about to let him go—he was going to kill him to tie up loose ends!
Alarmed, Li Fangtong spun around and shot off into the distance, frantically trying to flee for his life.
He was terrified, utterly petrified. He fled with all his might, pushing his Speed to its absolute limit.
Li Fangtong was old and had lived a long time, but no one, so long as they were human, was not afraid of death.
Who wouldn’t want to live a long and full life? Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a few more years in this world?
However, Life is fragile, and the world rarely conforms to one’s wishes.
Just because you don’t want to die doesn’t mean you can’t be killed.
Of course not.
No matter how fast Li Fangtong fled for his life, how could his Speed possibly match Tang Yi’s?
Besides... not to mention Tang Yi had now reached the Battle Supreme Master Level. Even back when he was at the Battle Emperor Level, it would have been next to impossible for Li Fangtong to escape from him. Now that Tang Yi had advanced, it was utterly impossible.
Killing Li Fangtong was simple, requiring no effort at all.
Tang Yi simply extended his hand. He activated his Six Yang Rejuvenation Finger, and a beam of light shot out, piercing through Li Fangtong and knocking him out of the sky. He was dead before he hit the ground.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Purple Robe Mercenary. You have gained 4,856,213 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value points."
.....
With Li Fangtong’s death, Tang Yi was the only one left standing.
Every single member of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps had been brutally killed.
’Of course, if you don’t pull a weed out by the roots, it will only grow back.’
Since Tang Yi had already decided to kill and had taken so many lives, he certainly wasn’t going to leave any survivors from the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps. He wouldn’t let them spread the word and bring him more trouble.
It was just like that time when he was still weak. Because he hadn’t been careful enough, a mercenary named Li Kuang had escaped, which ultimately led to all this trouble with the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps.
Having learned from that experience, Tang Yi would not make the same mistake again.
So, Tang Yi swept through the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps’ territory one more time. He wanted to confirm that there was truly no sign of Tang Haotian, and he also took the opportunity to kill any Mercenaries who were hiding or had managed to survive, leaving no one alive.
After purging every living member of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps, Tang Yi used his Ice Sword to destroy every building on Wolf Fighting Slope. Only then did he take flight, leaving that troubled place behind....
A long time after Tang Yi had departed, the crowd of onlookers outside Wolf Fighting Slope noticed the prolonged silence. Led by Blue Moon City’s Mansion Master, they cautiously entered Wolf Fighting Slope to see what had happened to the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps.
However, when they entered Wolf Fighting Slope, the scene before them left them utterly stunned.
All the buildings on Wolf Fighting Slope had been reduced to rubble. The scene was one of utter devastation. Even the palace deep within the slope, once considered a Forbidden Land by the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps that only its highest-ranking members could enter, was now just a pile of shattered Red walls and green tiles...
But that wasn’t the most horrifying part.
The most horrifying part was that Wolf Fighting Slope was littered with corpses. The bodies of Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps members were everywhere, as were severed limbs and pools of blood that had yet to dry.
In the Central District, about one to two thousand meters from the palace, there was an area covered in ice and snow.
And that area was even more terrifying!
