บท 30: Bai Tian
Demon Beast Mountain Range, Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan's Domain, Saint Tiger Clan Dragon's Cave,
The Saint Tiger Clan Dragon's Cave was located within the deepest part of the Saint Tiger demon beast clan domain which was consisted of numerous mountains.
It was considered as the forbidden ground of the Saint Tiger Demon beast clan. Only those who held high status in the clan were qualified to enter and train there.
Legend has it that the Saint Tiger Clan Dragon's Cave used to be the lair of an ancient divine beast, a dragon, the strongest beast in the Great Luo World.
Despite the fact that several tens of thousands of years ago, they've disappeared from the Great Luo World, their traces could still be found throughout the whole Great Luo world. And, the Saint Tiger Dragon's Cave was one of them.
Unlike the other Fifteen Great Influences that had each a spirit vein suppressed under their ground or base, the Saint Tiger demon beast clan had a Dragon spirit vein which was superior to a regular spirit vein.
The so-called Spirit Vein was a huge amount of concentrated Heaven and Earth True Qi in a certain location underground. It was like the ore vein found in the Mortal World. The only difference was that the ore vein in the mortal world stored Metal or other precious gems while the Spirit Vein stored Heaven and Earth True Qi. In short, a spirit vein was a condensation of countless Heaven and Earth True Qi.
As for the Dragon spirit vein, it could only be formed after a powerful dragon had spent countless years cultivating in a location with a regular spirit vein and died there in the process as well. The dragon's corpse and blood would become one with the place after many years and its Dragon True Qi would also mix with the Heaven and Earth True Qi, giving it Dragon's True Qi property.
The Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan had one of such a Dragon Spirit vein. It was located deep underground of the Saint Tiger clan Dragon's cave. Though the dragon true qi within the spirit vein wasn't strong and continued to deplete over the years, it still made a big difference and was better than a regular spirit vein.
It was precisely because of this that ordinary clan members were forbidden from entering the Saint Tiger Clan Dragon's Cave. It was like their holy land. Even those hailed as a genius within the clan must get the approval of the Elders council before they could enter.
Aside from that, the Saint Tiger Clan Dragon's Cave was the most secure place within the Saint Tiger Demon Beast clan as it was guarded by the most powerful warriors of the Saint Tiger Clan. Not only because it contained a Dragon Spirit vein but because it was also the place where the most powerful warrior of their clan was secluded in cultivation, the Saint Beast Bai Wudi along with the future young Lord, Bai Tian.
This place was so secure and peaceful to the point where even those completely harmless little birds and animals were exterminated, just so they could ensure that people within the cave would have a perfect quiet place to cultivate in seclusion.
.....
Within a dark space inside the Saint Tiger Clan Dragon's Cave, a tall muscular figure wearing a black robe was seated in the lotus position on top of fiery boulder quietly meditating.
His appearance was extremely handsome. Although both of his eyes were currently shut, it was still possible to detect his aggressive and formidable nature. Aside from that, there was an indescribable evil aura flowing on his face.
Within the dark space, two huge fiery red tigers about two meters long and ninety centimeters tall could be seen laying down on the ground around the young man.
The two tall immense fiery red tigers looked like real tigers, but upon taking a closer look, one would find that they were completely formed from Fire True Qi. Whether it was their fiery furs, their claws, their legs, their fangs, and bodies were all formed from countless Fire True Qi woven together like silk strings.
It was unknown how long the young man had been in this position, however, one thing was certain, his face didn't give any indication that he was going to wake up soon.
However, there were some things and events that were sometimes beyond one's control. As if he had sensed someone coming to his direction, the young man suddenly frowned.
Whoosh!
Then without opening his eyes, the young man took a deep breath before inhaling the two fiery tigers which broke down or turned into countless crimson fire particles and wildly surged into his mouth.
" You may enter." Said the young man in a commanding voice that was filled with nobility, after swallowing the two fiery tigers made of Fire True Qi.
Creaaaak!!
The creaking sound of a door could be heard as two middle-aged men walked in. The two men's bodies were emanating an immense ferocious aura as though they were two wild beasts in human forms.
Even though the two men looked quite powerful, they were currently horrified and shivering with cold sweat on their back in the presence of the young man.
Without wasting any time, they both quickly got down in one knee in salutation as they said simultaneously." We pay our respect to the Young Lord."
This young man was none other than the awe-inspiring potential candidate to be the next leader of the Saint Tiger Demon Beast clan _Bai Tian, Someone whose power and prestige was second to none in the Saint Tiger Demon Beast clan.
The two men were looking at their young lord with an indescribable fear in their eyes. A moment later, their pupils hardened. This was because, at this moment, the latter's tightly shut eyes trembled gently, before he slowly opened both his eyes.
Bang!
The moment he opened his eyes, and evilness, which could cause one to fall into deprivation. If someone with a weak mind saw this, it was likely that he would end up losing his mind. His gaze was like thunder, striking fear into the hearts of men.
" Speak, did you capture that slut?." Bai Tian said coldly as he glanced disdainfully at two men kneeling in front of him.
Upon hearing their young lord's question, the countenance of the two men became ghastly pale. They knew how brutal and cruel their young lord was, not to mention he had a zero-tolerance for failure.
Knowing that they were unable to apprehend the target and have failed their mission, they both remained silent.
They were both waiting for the other to break the bad news to the young lord as that person would most likely be the first to be killed by the young lord.
Seeing the look of utter despair on his two subordinates' faces, Bai Tian's lips curved upward into a cruel smile. He had a pleased expression on his face as though the despair and the suffering of the others excited him.
Seeing that his companion refused to break news, the man on the left mustered all of his courage and said. " Reporting to the young lord, we were unable to capture the young miss as she had escaped into the human territory."
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
As soon as these words came out the man's mouth, the temperature of the room became exceedingly higher than it was before as a large number of crimson fireballs suddenly appeared on top of the head of the guy on the right like a circle.
These fireballs quickly merged into a single mass, its volume expanded to ten times the usual size and fell down onto the man's head as it engulfed his whole body and drowned him in its blaze.
The middle-aged man didn't even have the time to react nor to scream as the huge fireball disappeared as fast as it appeared as though everything was just an illusion.
This might take a long time to explain, but everything happened in a slip second.
Then,
Whoosh…
As though a mysterious wind was blowing within the room,
The body of the middle-aged that had turned into char charcoal while still kneeling on the ground in salutation immediately began to break apart and collapse. It was transformed into tiny granules of black sand.
Whether it was his demon beast core, his body, or his bones, they all completely turned into a small hill of black sand or ashes on the ground.
Looking at the fate of his companion, the other middle-aged man was shivering. He could feel his entire body become slowly drenched in cold sweat despite the high temperature of the room. Nonetheless, he didn't dare to make a sound nor escape.
" I don't care if she escapes through the gate of hell. I give you a month's time to bring her to me otherwise you'll suffer the same fate as that pile of trash over there."
"Also, take the human traitor with you as well, its time for him to prove his worth to me." Bai Tian said in a cold and indifferent tone.
After that saying that he didn't give the middle-aged man another glance as he closed his eyes and returned to his meditation.
"Um.....Understood." Said the man as he stuttered in fear.
After that, the middle-aged man acted as if he had met a ghost and turned around to run like a lightning bolt.
" Aren't you forgetting something."
However, before he could make it far, a cold commanding voice, akin to thunder in the sky, rang out within his mind. The voice was imbued with a type of authority that no one could resist as it pierced straight to the soul.
Upon hearing the voice of his young lord, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shiver as his limbs went limp. It was also at this time that he remembered that he forgot to take away what was left of his companion on the ground.
