Gei kiao dreamt of a time .when he was just youngster of kiao clan .At that time Tuong father of Ting & Tong was just his servant .one of his many servant .And he was just many of clan head's descendant.He was no. 5th on male descendant list .Nothing much important.
At that time He interacted with lot of mortals including Tuong .Tuong was hardworking & talented person .Here something gei kiao said and there Tuong will do it .For that reason Gei kiao liked to interact with this servant of his .He felt Tuong understood him .He would occasionally give advice to him .which Gei kiao felt was good advice .
That was the case for some 5 years . Later His
Father appointed him some servants with cultivatons to him .
That was when he realised the difference between mortal & Cultivators .Things that cultivatiors can do mortals cannot .
As his interactions with other cultivatiors increased .The difference between mortal and cultivator made him despise mortals .
He started to look down on mortals .
Gradually gei kiao started showing indifference to Tuong .but it seemed Tuong never got hint .He was shamelessly clinging to him .For that he despised him even more .
But Tuong never made mistake .so he couldn't do anything about him . Because he was appointed by his father clan head .
In his thirties .Tuong gave him invitation to his wedding . Apparently he was going to marry someone named zi anpan from nearby village .He asked him to join in the good occasion and give him blessing.
When Gei kiao heard it .He thought they were well matched poor of lower standings .
Gei kiao never went to his wedding .
A year after Tong was born .From than On he had started to pester him .To check tong's cultivation aptitude.Gei kiao had started getting annoyed by him .This servant thought himself of very importance .
Did he expected gei kiao to listen to him .still gei kiao didn't say directly but instead gave him some near impossible task to achieve .Tuong really put everything to complete the Honestly he didn't have a reason to complain about Tuong .Other than him not having tact about his status .
Soon gei kiao became a clan head replacing the old .Gei kiao took the chance and changed all his servants to cultivatiors.Tuong was removed too .He sent him to work in herb fields.
When Tong was 5 years old .He reluctantly agreed to check his aptitude.That day a timid boy was brought into clan . Because of his position Tuong had to greet every important person on his way .Tong tried to mimic him .But when he received unkind ,strict gazes he hide behind Tuong .
When Tong didn't greet him .gei kiao was hiddenly angry .Gei kiao pretended to check his aptitude.But didn't do so .
He posed as sad person over tong not having cultivation aptitude.
But Tuong looked at him in disbelief.As though His eyes questioning did you seriously check him .
Tuong didn't say anything directly.But the thought of Tuong suspect him made him uneasy and slight guilty .
When zi yan was born .Tuong started to pester him more . Honestly it was getting hella annoying .
Than one day Gou kiao saw Tuong begging on his knees to check zi yan's aptitude .
Gou kiao was direct without any restraint.
'you think your mortal daughter have any talent .A mudworm like you stop being delusional .Being a cultivatior is only reserved for someone with my status '
Tuong couldn't say anything back to retort .He was in no position to do so .
Gei kiao didn't stop him .Infact he also felt These mortals were beneath them and didn't deserve to be cultivator .
Another day Tuong begged him again when Ting was born .This time he didn't ask to check cultivation aptitude.But asked for technique and skills .
Honestly gei kiao was angry .He felt Tuong was reaching far out of his reach .He also felt suspected that Tuong knew he hadn't checked aptitude of Tong & ziyan .He felt guilty in his heart .it was shameful thing .
Before gei kiao could erupt in anger .
Tuong said he only wanted techniques which everyone was cultivating inside kiao clan .in short they were well known .
He also said confidently.If my child had cultivation aptitude.He will make up grow him strong and loyal to kiao clan .He will serve the new heir with a unmatched loyalty,preservance ,obedience .
Hearing so Gei kiao had decided to give him something.But at that time gou kiao came .
He said Tuong as being shameless & oppurtunist .Using his child to gather gifts from clan .
However Tuong couldn't bear it .he argued saying .if his child had half the talent of cultivation what gou kiao had .He wouldn't be wasting his life like this in pleasure .His child would be among the best of kiao clan .Instead He will make his child grow up to someone he can proud of .That made both of them angry .it was like he was questioning their attitudes and education .Gou kiao wanted to cut the bastard down .but gei kiao sent him away .
Later Tuong came back alone .And begged him for long time .For the old times sake .Gei kiao decided to give him some techniques.
'maybe when his child won't show any improvement 'He will give up annoying him .he thought.
Just when he was about to pick some techniques.gou kiao came & said .He didn't deserve anything.would father let a servant ride on his head .In the end they gave him a useless yellow dilapidated book.
But from than on Tuong became target of gou kiao .gou kiao was always making things hard on him .gei kiao also let him be .
Afterall it was Tuong's mistake That he compared his child's to gou kiao and earned his ire .
Years passed .Tuong died one day .Gei kiao felt slight regret .If Tuong died because of him . However he quickly consoled himself .
Than some months later .
Zi anpan came to beg for shelter from war .
He knew the whole event .But didn't involve himself .For some reason he was always angry whenever he saw them .It reminded him of wrong he committed against Tuong .But he clearly had not done anything wrong .
In the end ziyan was brought inside and zi anpan ,tong & ting were left to fend for themselves.Gei kiao never involved himself with any matter that was unrelated to clan .
It was same with gou kiao . whatever he did he let him be .As long as clan wasn't involved.
Gei kiao opened his eyes .He was lying on floor and could hear gou kiao asking for help .
Begging & crying sometimes than alternating to anger .
He looked at his wasted son .Than at Tuong's child .To think everything he said would turn out to be true .
His child's were really talented at cultivation.He could tell tong had better prospects in cultivaton than gou kiao .Even if gou kiao was in his prime .He couldn't defeat him .To some extent fault lay in him .
He had spoiled gou kiao rotten . because of that gou kiao only partially cared about cultivaton.But yet he thought he was superior .
He sighed .Gou kiao was destined to die today .
Than he looked at Tuong's child .
Tong was talented .In just 6 years .He had reached a point.where he could fight against him.This type of talent was worth nurturing .but what had they done .
Even ting had some accomplishment in cultivaton.In the future he would most certainly reach his level .
As for ziyan .what if she was trained in cultivaton.would she also have good talent in cultivaton.Nobody could say .for no one had bothered about her well being for years .
gei kiao regretted what if he had checked the aptitude of Tuong's kids that time .
They would unquestionably be nurtured by kiao clan .under his banner To become a servants .They would be powerful servants of kiao clan .Powerful ,loyal ,obedient servants .it was blessing to make kiao clan more stronger .perhaps in the upcoming war they would have gained a new foothold .
But they had shunned this opportunity away . Because they needlessly thought they were superior and others inferior .
But what outcome had they reached .They had become kiao clan's enemies.
"General I admit defeat .You can do whatever you want to me and my son .But please don't destroy kiao clan .There are innocent members too .People unaware of this whole matter . please don't harm them . Including my other sons & family members "Gou kiao bowed .
"Father why are you kneeling .father save me .punish this abominable ."gou kiao
"Gou kiao look at this scene .look at these dead bodies .They died because of seed you had sown .The grudge you created. I am also to be blamed for this .I will take responsibility alongside you "
"Why should I live them alive.Don't you know about my reputation "Tong asked.
"General I believe you are different from the rumours.For that I can only take chance & beg you .please spare the innocents ."gei kiao kneeled .
"To think we have come this far .The man my father thought of as sky is kneeling to me .
Haah.
Forget it .I will not do anything to others.At first I thought of torturing this your son gou kiao .To releive my anger .
But to think he is already in this state painful state .my sister has really done a good job on behalf of me .if I am not wrong .he is already a waste unable to cultivate.Not only that his pain is suppressed by pills .If the pills were not fed to him .he will feel unimaginable pain .
Hahah.That's fucking great ."
"Fatherrrr is what he says true ."gou kiao became pale .
Gei kiao nodded.
"Nooo"
********
Tong brought them to their father's grave .
Tong & ting knelt first and paid their respects .
Than let gei kiao & gou kiao kneel & kowtow .
It was only after next day did they live .
Tong didn't kill them . Because the gou kiao would live his leftover life in pain .
unimaginable pain that will left him crawling and begging for death .
No medications will be provided to him .
Infact from now on he will have to live like a servant . without anyone to take care of .
Kiao clan will live in fear of evil general.
So they wouldn't dare provide gou kiao anything.
As for gei kiao .He had to kneel to his father's grave .evey month .
*******
2 days later .
In a small house .gou kiao laid on bed rolling in pain.
"Father it's hurting.its really hurting me .give me something to suppress the pain .I can't bear it ."
"Son there is nothing for you .I am sorry "gei kiao said .Not dare to look .In case his heart goes soft .
"Father I beg you .I will beg anyone .just give me something to number the pain "gou kiao cried in tears .
"I am sorry .but this is something you have to bear .But in case if you can't bear it .Drink this poisonous wine . That's all I can do for you "After gei kiao left a wine bottle inside .He came out to the plaza .
But he didn't expect someone to be there .someone unknown and strong .Gei kiao turned vigilant.
"Who are you esteemed one "gei kiao bowed.
The unknown man didn't reply to him .Instead laughed
"Hahaha Tong you really left them alive .Even after you had grudge with them .You are really letting down your reputation"
"Estemeed sir .what are you talking about.Are you related to evil general tong ."Gei kiao could feel something wrong .
"Evil general.Thats right I am his father .hahaha.As a general he has a reputation to remain.Since He doesn't care about his reputation.I as his father should ."
Gei kiao could tell this person Didn't came with mild intentions.He secretly attacked the person with flaming dagger .But before it could touch the other person .
A suction force pulled gei kiao to the ground .
"Evil general is known for killing everyone.whether it be innocents or not .old or child .I will help him maintenance his reputation."with that a round circle appeared around Biao .Baleful black ki was released from this circle .
It spread in every direction.And soon covered kiao clan whole .
Those who were in meditation.Were instantly covered by black qi.Before they could realise what was happening.Cut of swords and blades . appeared on their body .Their body started to lose blood of huge amounts .Floor beneath them turned fully dark red .
Before they died they had a look of horrified expression.
Those who were in sleep . Experienced bizarre event .In their sleep they as though a demon was cutting them peices by pieces .
They felt their stomach being cut open .Their innards coming out .A look of horror and helplessness covered them .
It was same everywhere in kiao clan .
Everyone who came in contact with black qi . Experienced horror and coverged in pain before dying .before dying they didn't even realise who killed them .
"Ah this is .This is exactly what I look for . Negative energy of people before dying .Their helplessness,their horror .This is what powers me ."Teng biao laughed.
The more pained and unwilling they felt before dying .The more energy was there to collect.Especially energy from dead cultivatiors.mortals just didn't have quality or the quantity of negativity.The amount was different.Soon Baleful qi retreated back to his body .A expression of releived hunger washed over him .
He waved his hand and fire lit up inside kiao clan .Soon this fire covered whole kiao clan .
Meanwhile Biao gathered the negativity of kiao clan .Soon he left everything behind .
Today another legend was added to Even general Tong's history .
After taking revenge against kiao clan .Every member of it was killed without any difference.
Old or young ,mortal or cultivators ,Innocent or not .None were spared Everyone burned in the cruel flames of Tong's anger .
