There was a village in the middle of a forest, it once used to be very lively with people living peacefully, but now only one person stood in the middle of the village, it was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. The bright sunlight touched his face as he looked up at the sun. He felt his face with his hands. There was a streak of blood on his face and he slowly wiped it off with his hands.
He looked around and all he could see were corpses, old, young, middle-aged. Even young children were not spared, all of them had a slit on their necks. rivers of blood flowed all around the village as the boy walked around the village, He was ordered to not leave any survivors. Pull out their roots, that was the order. Naturally, nobody would believe that a 13-year-old boy can accomplish this horrifying task but the reality proved that he could.
He looked around wishing there was nobody else, He was tired of continuous fighting. Killing all these people had drained him of all his energy. His sword was covered with blood. The blood that coated the blue gemstone at the hilt of the sword shone under the sunlight. He walked inside a dilapidated home where there were things scattered around, some of them had blood coated on them, He furrowed his eyes and scrunched his nose. He never liked the smell of blood. Although he has killed a lot of people, it still gives him a sense of nausea. He walked around and then coming to the end of the hallway he heard a sound.
He tightened the sword in his hands to kill the last survivor. A small boy of 6 or 7 years old came out of the closet in which he was hiding. He had a heavy sword in his hands which he was not able to lift with his full strength. Still, he dragged it forward and came towards the killer of his family. There was pure hatred in those eyes. The sword trembled in the hands of the boy in black seeing the hatred in the eyes of the small boy. The whole scene faded away like mist and a boy who was sleeping in the chair woke up. He was sweating all over his body and was breathing hard. It has been already 3 years since that incident but Li Yang still woke up from seeing the same pair of eyes. The eyes that were filled with hatred looked at him. It followed him all through these years always reminding him what kind of a monster he is.
He stood up slowly from his chair and washed his face with cold water and then gently patted the sword that was placed near his chair. The sword trembled slowly like it was answering like a dear friend.
"You and I have to leave again, this time I don't know if I can survive. What do you say, are you ready to be unsheathed after 2 years" That was right, the sword in his hands have never been unsheathed in the last 2 years? The sword trembled again and even Li Yang could feel the excitement from it. He smiled and took the sword and was about to get up but was interrupted by a loud cry from an eagle.
The eagle was big, probably people who knew what kind of beast it was would be a few. It flew high in the sky and came towards his hut and kept circling it. Then something dropped from its claws and fell directly down straight into Lu yang's hands.
It was a sheet of Animal skin. In the continent, information was passed around by writing on animal skins. High-quality animal skins were rare as they should be made from high-level beasts. Li yang looked at the High-Quality animal skin and there were a lot of details written on it.
He read through the information and gradually a smile formed on his lips. He let out a chuckle at the last words written on the sheet.
'The pieces have started moving
Li Yang looked down the Li Family Clan house and could feel what was happening down there. He shook his head and walked back to his room. Looks like it's time to pay back what he owed to the Li family for the past two years. This was the debt he owed with them for giving him a house for the past two years and also this was the beginning of everything.
Things are going to be interesting from now on. He entered inside the hut and without looking back he stretched out his hand and the sword that was gently started rising and flew right into his hands and the door closed.

Li Family Yard
The Grand elder was reading something on animal skin and as he read through it his face started turning ugly. The prestigious Li family who no one could oppose was facing a bad situation. The three prominent families Li, Yun, and the Zhang families were able to be this prestigious was due to the continuous supply of Pills from the alchemy association but now the other two prominent families joined together and opposed selling important resources to the Li Family stating the reason that Li family young generation was useless and giving them precious resources would only be a waste.
The two families both banded together and put out resources to buy the remaining pills at double the price, Due to the long-standing relationship between the Li Family and the alchemist association they naturally rejected the complaint. But the two families stood strong, They put forward a Competition so that the alchemy association can witness the weakness of the Li family's younger generation. The condition they put forward was an inter-clan competition where the three families will send out their younger generation into the stage and battle it out.
The Li family would have to naturally agree because, if they don't it was a loss of face, and second the standing of the family will drop to the bottom, this was a well-set plan from the 2 families to pit the Li family straight into hell.
The grand elder threw down the animal skin cursing the eighteen ancestors of the other two families.
The other elders in the family also had dark faces as they read the content of the Letter. This was unacceptable for them because the older generation of the Li family was stronger than the other two families but when it comes to the younger generation all of them looked at Li Zheng who was standing at the end of the Line.
He had an arrogant smile on his lips and crossed his hands across his chest in disdain.
Isn't it only a clan competition, I can beat them all and slap them on their faces for sending out the letter to our Li family
The Elders standing around shook their heads and sighed in bitterness. The main reason was that the other two families had geniuses who had crossed the mortal realm into the General realm. Although it is only a realm the difference was huge. They had only Li Zheng who was 9 th level of the mortal realm and still has not crossed the realm, The difference was huge and he could never win against those geniuses. This time their plan was simple but was well thought out.
But what confused the grand elder was that the two families that were usually like oil and water joined together to deal with the Li family which did not make any sense.
What he Didn't know was that there was a person who talked to both families giving them benefits to destroy the Li family. The young master was reading the same letter sitting and relaxing on a chair. He threw away the letter after some time and chuckled lightly.
He would be able to see a fun show in a month and he was looking forward to it.
