The person was a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face and white attire. Yang Shi looked closely and he remembered that the person was none other than the head butler of Long clan's patriarch, uncle Wang.
" Wait, Wasn't he supposed to be dead? What is doing he doing here with Ma clan?"
" NO, this can't be-
A possibility struck to his mind [ Could it be that uncle Wang is a traitor ]. But more he thought, the clearer his mind got. The news, that Long clan got a treasure, The sudden attack on Long clan's estate, the way all intruders avoided alarms and blocked the escape path, these all things directed that there was a mole in the Long clan. But Yang Shi never even imagined that, Uncle Wang was the traitor. " But, he was the most trusted person of Patriarch Long. The whole clan respected him like an elder, Yet he chose to betray the clan?" Yang Shi hated these kinds of betrayal. Either because he took the memory of Long Xuan, or some other thing, Yang Shi started to become disgusted and angry. His eyes turned crimson. He picked something from the ground, and dashed toward uncle Wang. From the last few days, Yang Shi crazily practiced { The wind Parting Footwork}. In the beginning stage, this martial art can increase the agility of a person by three times. With complete mastery, The practitioner can move fast like the wind. The second technique { Ghost Fists } is an offense type of martial art which in the beginning stage can increase the power and speed of punches by two times. In the perfection stage, one can create eight illusory fist while attacking. Yang Shi has attained the beginning stage of these two martial arts so he can already defeat cultivators of the seventh level the Qi condensation realm. Yang Shi rushed there with his full speed and caught to Uncle Wang within no time. Uncle Wang was surprised to see someone in front of him. The first thing he thought to use him as a meat shield to lure away the beasts but slowed after what he heard.
" Traitor Wang, you dare to fake your death and collude with Ma clan?!!!! "
" Wh-Who are you? How did You recognize me?"
Of course, he never thought that someone would recognize him at such a place. " You-You are Long Xuan!!! How can you alive???" He was surprised.
" Heh, since such traitorous bastard like you is alive, Why can't I?" Then without wasting any time, He threw a punch at Uncle Wang.
" Heh, you, a cripple will fight me? Laughable!!" With a sneer, uncle Wang Didn't dodge, accepting the punch of Yang Shi.
BAM!!
Uncle Wang staggered backward a few steps while looking astonishingly at Yang Shi.
" You- You started cultivation, No, Wait, there wasn't any Qi fluctuations. How did you do it?"
" Think about this in hell!"
" Hmph, are you thinking to defeat me with this?" saying this, a violent aura erupted from Uncle Wang as he punched to Yang Shi. Yang Shi used his arm to block this attack.
CRAACK!!!!
" ARRGH"
With a cracking sound, Yang Shi's left arm bent in an odd angle, clearly his bone broke to pieces.
" You have entered the Spiritual Ascension realm?!!"
" Ahahaha, Yep brat. The patriarch of Ma clan helped me to broke through the realm."
[ Damn, I stood no chance against him. Luckily, I brought my secret weapon ]
" Yes, with such meager power, I could not defeat you, but, killing you is still possible"
" It seems you have gone mad. Let me send you to hell, Fireball Blast!"
Cultivators of the Spiritual Aseccision realm can use magic arts to convert Qi into various elements like creating a fireball or control wind to attack. Uncle Wang's control over such technique still shallow, so he needs some time to cast it. Seizing the moment Yang Shi stretched his right arm and something bolted out from it.
"AHHHGGH"
Uncle Wang screamed as that object pierced his heart. Soon his body started to blacken, and consciousness began to fade.
" Wha-What the hell this thing?" He said feebly, clearly gasping for air.
" Heh, meet my friend, Little green, A Green scale serpent."
"W-WHA-"
Before finishing his word, he collapsed and stopped breathing. He died due to the snake's poison. *cough* Yang Shi coughed as he took some leaves and dripped its juice on his bloodied arm. From the dead body of Uncle Wang, a tiny serpent crawled out. Its head was big as a thumb with small red eyes, but Who can think that such a harmless little snake is a peak level ferocious beast!. With lethal poison and wind like speed, it's a natural assassin. Yang Shi picked it up and caressed its head and said " Ahh, you are so cute yet so lethal."
"HISSS" The snake hissed and showed it's dissatisfaction, clearly it didn't like to be called cute. Yang Shi asked the Demonic-man, the beast king, to give him a bodyguard. Yang Shi choose the snake because it ability of stealth and surprise attack. When Yang Shi reached the cave, The Beast King was throwing corpses of Ma Xiao Kong and other Ma clan elder's bodies in the blood pond.
" Haha, It seems the harvest remained fruitful, Your Majesty."
" HAHAHA, Brat, you did as you said. with all the corpses and blood, soon I will be able to activate the formation and concoct the pill."
" Yes, Your Majesty, Now I will take my leave."
" Yes, go and take rest. It seems You are injured, I will send you a healing fruit."
" Thank you, Your Majesty." saying some flowery words, Yang Shi went back to take rest.
" Such a tiring day. Hmm, from now let's practice an Internal Energy martial art."

"Senior brother, about that kid-... The Black Panther asked quietly.
"Don't do anything to him, he is our benefactor." said the demonic man.
" As your wish, senior brother."
The Demonic man sighed as he looked to the sky.
" Humans, such treacherous beings. Even a mortal's scheme can cause a bloodbath."
