Yang Fan briskly made his way out the cave with an air of confidence then watched until the formations sealed off the Palace, he watched in awe as they still worked even though the grandmaster was dead while muttering, "Some Motherfuckin' lucky encounter."
He had taken the man's ring and it had so many resources he didn't even need to massacre the Tang Family or the Blood Devil Sect, he still would though. It was mainly poison resources and although he would've preferred other things, it was good enough.
He had found out that the man's main path was poison and he studied formations on the side, he had lived for over 700 years so it was obvious his formations were top class, he licked his lips while thinking about the resources he would soon get.
Meanwhile, at the little devil's Manor, "What the fuck do you mean Li Fei is dead!?!?!?!" He screamed in pure rage, "It's exactly as I said young master." The old servant replied calmly, he had grown sick of the arrogant twerp who thought she ruled the world because the young master took a liking to her.
"Dammmittt!" he roared, "Was it the shadow King!?" he asked, "No, from the witness, we found that it was a 9th stage Qi Refiner, many on the scene said he moved as fast as a Foundation Building stage disciple." The little devil was so incensed at the first part, he filtered the second part out of his ears.
"Looks like people have forgotten about little ol' me, even a Qi Refining trash dares to disrespect me!" he maliciously uttered, "I will do this myself, and torture him, pull out each of his nails to send a message!" he roared.
Li Fei was one of the rare beautiful girls in Demon's Canyon and was extremely tight in 'that area.' It would take weeks to find one like her, if that was just the reason, Wang Yun wouldn't be so incensed and even go himself, it was because Wang Yun sacrificed the yin of the girls he fucked and Li Fei was going to help him reach Core Formation!
Many of the girls he dated knew they would die after a certain period of time but did so as they either wanted to assist their families or knew that sooner or later they would be raped and wanted to live luxuriously, even if for only a little while, this was also the primary reason why Wang Yun was coined the little devil.
Wang Yun chose the finest pair of robes from his wardrobe and mobilised his men all over the city. Those in the city were gossiping and those who owned businesses or stores that didn't belong to any major forces were dreading the arrival of Wang Yun's men.
Those shops would be thoroughly searched and many things are destroyed in the process, about 2 hours later, Wang Yun was notified that the brat was located, he told his men not to do anything and wait for his arrival. He came on a flying sword adorned with jewels and weapon formations.
He slowly landed in front of Yang Fan who was now wearing a red trench coat with fur around the neck, Wang Yun was mesmerised by the beauty of it until he regained focus ten seconds later and playfully asked, "You killed my girl, Li Fei, right?" while holding a picture of her.
Yang Fan glanced at it then replied in the same manner, "That bitch? Yeah she's long gone, what's the matter, are you her fuckboy or something?" Wang Yun's calm and playful demeanour instantly collapsed, "You fucking piece of shit! That 'bitch' was meant to help me reach core formation!" he shouted while sending a palm towards Yang Fan.
The crowd that had formed after they started following Wang Yun were shocked, "The rumours were true!" Wang Yun was so incensed that he revealed his secret that was pretty much an open secret to those who were even somewhat acquainted with him.
Some spectators felt pitiful towards Yang Fan as none of these events were really his fault.
The ignorant sheeps only thought it referred to his evil acts that he committed not including using women as cultivation tools, this method was very impure however and basically barred his chances of reaching core formation, no matter how he used Li Fei, he probably wouldn't reach there.
Yang Fan held disdain towards this weak attack that couldn't even stir up air currents and sent a sharp right jab at his neck, 'Serious Punch!' he thought with mirth and even smiled a bit as Wang Yun's head was nearly disconnected from his body.
"Y-you monster!" Wang Yun screamed with grief as it would cost an enormous amount to fix these injuries. That was... If he could even get out alive. Yang Fan didn't bother with the 'This wouldn't have happened if you didn't provoke me' speech and ransacked his things, those at the scene were shocked.
Sure there were a few turnarounds here and there but a newly ascended Foundation Building defeating a half step core formation could only be a dream in their eyes, and they had seen such a dreamlike scene before.
Yang Fan didn't care about the reactions of the crowd and watched as Wang Yun's body decomposed, 'My body has been fortified when I merged my original body refinement technique, Lin Fan's body refinement techniques and I have added aspsects of thousand poisons grandmaster into it!'
He wildly thought with glee, he then scavenged his body and made his way back to the Palace for some rest, Half Step Core Formations are weak shits to me now, I will later battle 2 core formation cultivators to consolidate my cultivation.
For the next 2 weeks he practiced and cultivated like normal and although he consolidated his cultivation, which scrapped his earlier plans, he would still battle them.
Yang Fan donned a White Trench Coat, and by the time he left the Tang Family and Blood Devil Sect, it was a red trench coat, 'blood' red, I guess you could say, both of the patriarchs put up a hard fight.
Yang Fan had more trouble with the Blood Devil Sect Leader as he had the blood of all his disciples around him, it only took 4 punches to destroy the blood barrier, yes, that's right, he fought both fights with his physical body only.
The Tang Clan Leader was suprised when he saw his cultivation level, and turned his fear into anger as his daughter was killed by such a weakling, he payed for that mistake with his life.
He focused mainly on water techniques and the Manor was built near a stream so he had ample power to use, Yang Fan ate both their souls on the spot, and gained memories of the blood path and water path.
He also found a technique called, the Power of Streams that could allow him to partially move like a ton of water, it was quite heavy and a rare technique the Tang Family leader was preparing to give to his daughter.
He completely raided both sects and his name as the Divine Thief was known throughout Demon City No. 863 and many avoided him based on his unique clothing that many admired.
A Demon City is a city in Demon's Canyon, there are also towns and villages called Demon Towns and Villages. They are ranked and the one where the Heavenly Devil Sect reside in is called Demon City No. 1. Yang Fan digested the information from their souls then went to some other powerful organisations within the city but stole only what he needed from them.
Many of the organisations in the city feared him and wanted to get rid of him but didn't have the courage. Yang Fan didn't excessively steal from them as he heard that they have superiors that are a mid tier sect, this was another way to make money for them so they placed them in lower cities.
But the Nightstone Auction House had the Heavenly Devil Sect as their superior, no one else was allowed to open an auction house without their permission, there was one in every city, and a few towns or villages had one.
He once again diligently practiced and reached the second stage of Foundation Building, he wanted to move deeper in the Canyon but there was no better cultivation area than the one he's using right now in the low tier area.
So he went around devouring high leveled cultivators until he devoured more of Thousand Poisons Grand master's soul and increased his formation path attainment and became a quasi-grandmaster.
He had devoured 1/4 of his soul and his devouring path technique had upgraded, many of his impurities were cleansed and he felt born anew. He had increased to Foundation Building 6th stage after spending 3 months.
With his new formation path knowledge he recognised a teleportation formation that utilised any of the glowing stones lined up in the walls, the disadvantages were minimal, he used 3/4 of his current Spiritual Qi to activate it and it had a range of 50,000 KM.
He had a birthday celebration and invited many of the major forces who were amazed by his young age, they had only heard rumours about him and he always wore a mask. His height was 6'2 so everyone was shocked when he was revealed to only be turning 15.
He normally wouldn't do something so annoying but he wanted to make connections with their superiors so that his life in the mid tier area wouldn't be so troublesome... Sike! Yang Fan didn't care about that shit! He sent clones to each of their headquarters and ransacked them then locked down all communications.
The moment the birthday celebrations ended he fled the scene and moved rapidly towards a new city, the Demon City's were in order and the high tier zones had city 1 to 200 because of their low number, the mid tiers had 350 cities and the low tier zone was most abundant, with 450 cities.
Yang Fan took a shortcut that Thousand Poisons Grandmaster used and made it to the City of Stars, a famous city in the mid ranks that was owned by the Frozen Azure sect, a sect that was mostly filled with women and only had a few men who had natural yin affinity.
[AN: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Lol you really thought our boi Yang Fan was going to be a hundred years old virgin like Captain America, hahaha, I don't think there will be romance. I don't even know how to write 18+ scenes so you guys are on your own, he isn't a simp though.]
The city was called the City of Stars because, not only was there a beautiful night sky view, there were many beautiful women there as well. Yang Fan wasn't going for the women however, he heard that there was a rank 4 artifact called the flowing jade treasure sword.
Artifact were weapons with formations engraved on them, they were divided into 9 ranks and there was a supposed rank 10 artifact. They were in conjuction with cultivation levels, the little devil had a rank 2 treasure sword that Yang Fan absorbed, Yang Fan had devoured many treasures and even poisons that the Grandmaster had.
He gained high level poison resistance and had increased his actual cultivation to 7th level, what they saw was just what he projected to them, he felt like he needed a good treasure sword and his eyes twinkled as he looked towards the city...
