- If my memory serves, our relationship isn't nowhere near that good. It could even be said that we are enemies.
- There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. You and I might be enemies yesterday but that doesn't mean that it holds true today. Besides, who said that enemies can't share the same table?
- Well said. Alright, I'll drink with you.
If Yang Tian didn't know that Li Xiang was up to something then it would be strange thing. However with his personality, the was no way Yang Tian would back down from a challenge. Especially not from someone weaker than himself.
The two got on the care and Li Xiang drove Yang Tian to a newly established bar. This place was quite luxurious. Every table was covered with a white sheet and had a flower pot on it. In the middle of the bar was a large dance floor. To be honest, it looked more like a club than a bar.
Stepping inside, the two was quickly escorted to large party table. Dishes and drinks were already prepared beforehand. Li Xiang signaled the server to leave before turning to Yang Tian:
- How do you feel about this place?
- Not bad, is this a bar you opened?
- That's right.
Li Xiang didn't explain further and raised his glasses at Yang Tian:
- I hope you enjoy this wine. This was something that I imported from abroad. The flavor is exquisite.
Yang Tian took the glass to his mouth and downed it in one go. The flavor was refreshing but it still stuck in your mouth, not bad. Putting the glass back onto the table, Yang Tian chuckled:
- It seems that you don't have the audacity to put poison in the wine.
- How would I have the nerves to do that. If you want to kill me afterwards, wouldn't that be just as easy?
Yang Tian wasn't in the mood to make small talk with him:
- I've drank your wine so say what you want to say. I'm don't have that much free time.
Raising his own glass, Li Xiang also downed his wine in one go. Although this wine wasn't too powerful, normally people wouldn't just gulp down such a large glass of wine.
- You want to give yourself a bit more courage?
Li Xiang's face was already a bit red:
- That's right, I just want to tell you that during this outing, I plan on confessing to Wu Han. I hope that you can be a witness and be happy for us.
Li Xiang's words caught Yang Tian by surprised. Did this guy hit his head somewhere?
- Li Xiang, did you put the poison in the wrong glass? Since you treated me to a drink, I can be generous and save you this one time.
Li Xiang was seemingly drunk and his words were a bit harsh:
- I'm perfectly sober and fine so you can either believe this or don't . I've already decided on this. If not why do you think I would waste my money sponsoring your school?
Yang Tian was made to chuckle by Li Xiang, this fellow truly had a comedic mind.
- Not mentioning the fact if you have to guts to confess or not. Do you think Wu Han will agree?
- I won't know till I try. Are you afraid?
- Me? Afraid?
As he said that, Yang Tian stood up and walked to Li Xiang:
- Are you saying that I should be afraid of you? If I wanted to, I kill you right at this moment.
Li Xiang tried to contain his frightened mind and kept a calm face:
- If you want to kill me then you can do it right now. However that only proves that you are afraid of me. Which means I already won this little contest of our. To be able to best someone like you, I, Li Xiang can die happy.
- Is that so.
Yang Tian's smiling face suddenly turned serious, and his hand reached out to Li Xiang. Time seemingly froze and Li Xiang could hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster. His face, however, was still very calm, as if what he saying was correct. Death truly didn't frighten him.
Yang Tian's outreach hand didn't do anything special as he only patted Li Xiang's shoulder:
- No worries, I am completely uninterested in killing someone like you. If you want to play it like that then I'll play with you to the end.
After he said that, Yang Tian left with a glass of wine in his hand. There was still a voice ringing in Li Xiang's ears:
- This wine is very good, think of it as what saved your life.
Li Xiang’s back was already full of sweat. Yang Tian didn’t even use any skills or spells. His glare and gestures were enough to made Li Xiang felt frightening pressure. His shaking hand were still holding on to the wine glass and he brought it up to his mouth. He was still shaking so much and half of the wine were splattered all over his clothes:
- Cultivators are truly fearsome. However the more powerful you are, the more I want to kill you. I want everyone to know that anyone offending Li Xiang would not have a good ending.
Yang Tian stepped outside, downed the glass of wine and then threw it on the ground:
- You want to scheme against me with only that? Fine, I’ll help you complete this little play. However the ending will be written by me and not you.
With his experience and intelligence, how could Yang Tian not know what Li Xiang’s true motive was. Confessing to Mu Wu Han was just an excuse to get Yang Tian to participate in the outing. There was no doubt that his main goal was Yang Tian himself.
Yang Tian agreed to play this game simple because he believed that Li Xiang was no threat to him. A mortal wanting to harm a True Immortal. Even the best comedians wouldn’t be able to write something so absurd. It was truly beyond the realms of reality.
At this time, Li Xiang didn’t know that Yang Tian had seen through his plan. He was still dreaming about the day Yang Tian died in his hands without knowing that he already has one foot into the Yellow River.
Yang Tian returned home since it was already late. He initially wanted to go to bed before discovering someone spying on him outside his house. To be more precise, it was as if hundreds of eyes were on him the moment he step foot inside the house.
When did so many people appeared? The answer was that there weren’t hundreds of people outside. There was no one so stupid as to send that many people to spy on one person. The thing that was watching Yang Tian were insects on the wall, the fences and the electric poles.
- It’s the people from the Venom Clan again. When you kill one, the whole clan swarm in on you. Do I really need to go there and kill every last one of you?
Yang Tian felt annoyed. He was annoyed with the laws of the Venom Clan. Even in the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm, he had already changed these laws. Unfortunately this was only a small branch of the Venom Clan that inadvertently got lost here so they had no ideas about the new laws.
Yang Tian extended his palm and a powerful gravitational force exerted out. All the surrounding insects were squeezed into a giant colorful ball. A flame then blazed out and the ball was gone without a sound. Yang Tian’s figure then disappeared into the darkness.
Somewhere far away, three people were meditating in a small house. From there body, strands of green qi connected them and forming a triangle. In the middle of the triangle was a green orb. Inside the orb was a shadowy figure. Within the heaven and earth, spiritual qi constantly pour out of the orb and the creature inside it was making small raspy noise.
The connection was suddenly broken and the stream of spiritual qi immediately vanished. The green orb was still hovering above the ground. Someone quickly asked:
- Third Brother, what is happening?
The person called Third Brother light coughed and said:
- The swarm of insects I used to scout out the house was completely annihilated.
- Completely?
- That’s right, not even one survived:
- So we are exposed. This wasn’t out of our expectation. If not how could he manage to kill the young master. Elder Brother, what should we do next?
The person called Elder Brother shook his head:
- There’s no rush. We still don’t have sufficient information on our enemy. We shouldn’t act out of line. First let’s wait for the Deathwave Bug to finish evolving.
