Chapter 1474: Chapter 36 They were killed by me. [Please support the official subscription]

Tian Biwu, this bear creature, is in a bad mood today.

As a High-level Talent Genius Venerable of the Tianhe Force, he is confident in his power and status.

But a year ago, after the arrival of the outsider named ‘Jia Yan’, his confidence vanished.

Jia Yan, who was a dignitary at that time, but after a battle with him, defeated this high-level semi-permanent star genius full of self-assurance.

Since then, his status within the Tianhe Force plummeted, and even dignitaries of the same level looked down on him.

Of course, there was some joy as well. After Jia Yan made a great splash in the Tianhe Force, he insisted on traveling outside, and as a result, never returned. His status slowly regained over the past year.

Yet, he is a creature that holds grudges. He secretly instructed that the servants Jia Yan brought from the rural star zone should be ‘well treated’, and he heard rumors that Xiaoya has not been doing well over the years.

But unexpectedly, Jia Yan, whom he thought would never return, actually came back today.

How could this not shock him!

“There’s no need to fear. This Jia Yan has been away from the force for so long and didn’t receive the cultivation benefits from the force. His power might not even be as strong as mine now. If he dares to cause trouble, I can just settle this old score from a year ago!”

Thinking about Jia Yan being away from the force for so long, it would have been lucky if he survived at all, and he might not have had any significant power increase. A sinister look flashed across Tian Biwu’s face.

He felt that even if Jia Yan didn’t come to find him, he should find a reason to settle this old grudge from the past.

After thinking this way, his mood improved somewhat.

But before he could implement his plan to trouble Jia Yan, a terrifying creature with wings suddenly appeared outside his cultivation star!

This creature had a long proboscis and six legs, especially those two front legs, each sharp and seemingly not something to be trifled with.

This is Jia Yan’s real body—Giant Mosquito!

“Tian Biwu, come out and face me.”

Without any hint of concealing hostility, Jia Yan spoke outside the star using his brainwave power.

“Hmph, Jia Yan, you think I’ll be afraid of you!”

While cultivating on the star, Tian Biwu’s expression darkened, and then his bear body expanded, flying out of the cultivation room, swiftly lunging toward Jia Yan’s location.

The two dignitaries faced each other in the sky from afar.

The difference was, Jia Yan’s expression was indifferent, while Tian Biwu was incredibly solemn.

“Tian Biwu, as a high-level genius, you dared to insult my servant. This is unjustifiable. Now give me an explanation, or I won’t let you off easily.”

Jia Yan did not beat around the bush, but directly stated his purpose.

“Haha, Jia Yan, do you still think you are the genius of the past? Hmph, even if you are, I’m not who I was then. What if I say no now!”

Tian Biwu’s eyes sparkled fiercely, shouting at Jia Yan with a severe tone.

He was extremely agitated, as if he were a person seeing red, totally unlike a high-level talent genius.

On the contrary, Jia Yan seemed indifferent. Of course, in this past year, he has seen so much of the world, even killing several high-level semi-permanent star registries, and now, why would he fear just a dignitary with his true body?

Moreover, he defeated this guy easily in the past, and now, can Tian Biwu have made more progress than he did during the entire year?

Ridiculous.

“Do you say no?”

Jia Yan shook his head and then his body moved slightly.

“You want to attack me!? Seeking death.” Tian Biwu felt a sense of crisis when Jia Yan’s body moved, but he fearlessly shouted and was about to launch his defense.

But what he didn’t expect was that before he could activate his defenses, a voice appeared behind him.

“Enough, I don’t have the time to play with you. Apologize now, or don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”

Jia Yan pressed a front leg against the back of Tian Biwu’s neck, and the other front leg encircled Tian Biwu’s entire bear body like catching a child, making him unable to move.

“Roar!”

Tian Biwu roared fiercely, trying to struggle, but to his greater horror, he found he was completely unable to escape.

Tian Biwu was stunned.

Elder Tiantesu, who was secretly observing the battle, was similarly stunned.

That expression was shared by several elders who came along, all of whom were intermediate talent semi-permanent star-level beings.

Initially knowing Jia Yan would trouble Tian Biwu, they all just smiled. Such matters between young ones are not something they wish to meddle in. Both parties should have a sense of measure, and it wouldn’t lead to mortal harm.

The upper echelons, unable to suppress their curiosity about Jia Yan’s current strength, followed to take a look. They all knew that Jia Yan still bore the appearance of a Venerable, yet his power had grown deeper, likely much stronger than before.

However, Tian Biwu also became stronger. They were still pondering to what extent Jia Yan’s current power had reached given this duel.

What they didn’t expect was that Tian Biwu was caught by Jia Yan so effortlessly, as if handling a child.

“Alright, all the Elders are watching. If you don’t want to lose more face in front of them, you’d better apologize to me properly.” Jia Yan’s voice echoed in Tian Biwu’s ear.

This voice made Tian Biwu shiver all over, and he didn’t dare to retaliate.

He had already realized that the gap between himself and the current Jia Yan had widened again, when earlier he could at least put up a slight resistance.

When Jia Yan escorted Tian Biwu, flying all the way to the cultivation star where he was before, Tian Biwu, flushed with embarrassment, apologized to Xiaoya and then fled in panic, watched by countless onlookers.

This assertive return of Jia Yan almost caused a sensation.

“Thank you, Master.”

Xiaoya seemed a bit different from before. Something must have happened this past year; she had become more respectful to Jia Yan.

“No problem, we’re friends. Friends don’t need to say so much.”

Jia Yan smiled slightly, then noticed the absence of the previously high and mighty demeanor in Xiaoya, which was now replaced by flattery and sycophancy, making him uncomfortable.

Becoming powerful requires a lot of give and take. Although everyone respects him now, the change in attitude from everyone seemed unnatural to Jia Yan, making him uneasy.

After casually chatting with Xiaoya for a while, Tiantesu arrived.

“Jia Yan, since the day you left us, I’ve been very worried about you. But now I have something to tell you. If I don’t, you might not cope well when it actually happens.”

Tiantesu’s words surprised Jia Yan.

It turned out that a group of people from the North Group died back then, especially a member from the higher echelons’ offsprings. As expected, extensive searches were conducted throughout this starry sky region nearby.

The Tianhe Force, for some unknown reason, was indeed put under key surveillance. Tiantesu came to give Jia Yan a heads-up, saying that the timing of his departure from the Tianhe Force coincided perfectly. The North Group people had come over several times to inquire, and if they knew of Jia Yan’s return, they might come over again. Tiantesu hoped Jia Yan would be aware of this, so he could handle it.

“Lord Tianrong Guang from our Tianhe Force was actually invited to attend the remembrance ceremony? Can’t he refuse?”

Hearing about the actions of the North Group, Jia Yan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of displeasure rising in his heart.

“Sir Tiantesu, to be honest with you.”

Jia Yan suddenly blurted out these words.

“This time I’m back with the Tianhe Force, I won’t be staying for long, but the North Group’s problem is a trouble I stirred up, so I’ll resolve this matter for the Tianhe Force.”

Jia Yan said nonchalantly.

“You resolve it? How do you resolve it? You know their force has two individuals that might be stronger, high-level talented Semi-permanent Star Level strong ones more powerful than Tianrong Guang’s talker, don’t you?”

Hearing Jia Yan’s words, Tiantesu couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable. First, Jia Yan was implying he wouldn’t stay long with Tianhe Force, suggesting that even if the Tianhe Force nurtured Jia Yan, they’d still gain nothing in the future?

Secondly, it seemed Jia Yan might be bragging. No matter how strong Jia Yan became, he was still just a Venerable. In front of high-level Semi-permanent Star Level strong ones, he was a joke. How could he think he would resolve the North Group’s problem?

Unexpectedly, Jia Yan’s next words left Tiantesu almost gaping, in disbelief.

Jia Yan said…

“Hehe, Elder Tiantesu, it’s like this. You should have heard the name Mo Ke. I have some connections with Mo Ke, and I will ask him to intervene. The North Group will likely give Mo Ke a little face.”

“Hiss, but is it that, that one who fought a team of Semi-permanent Star Level strong ones alone, Mo, Mo Ke?”

…

The North Group Faction is located in the southeast corner of the Tianhe Force and Liqiao Force, within a region of the Dark Realm.

This Dark Realm is not far from the region where the Ting Tian Pavilion is located, but they do not belong to the same part of the Dark Realm. So, the Ting Tian Pavilion in that part of the Dark Realm has not yet extended its reach here.

In recent days, the strongest force within this Dark Realm, which possesses two high-level talent Semi-permanent Star Level beings, the ‘North Group’, held an extremely grand memorial ceremony.

This ceremony commemorated one of their assault fleets that was annihilated a year ago.

Of course, the North Group wouldn’t declare this publicly. They only announced that it was an ordinary caravan that got destroyed by an unknown fleet. They intended to commemorate this and pursue the culprits.

Under this pretense, they invited leaders from several major forces, including the Tianhe Force’s primary spokesperson Lord Tianrong Guang and the Liqiao Force’s leader Spalla.

“Today, we commemorate a few deceased friends who made great contributions to the trade between our nearby major forces. Now, the leaders of several major powers gather here to give them some honor.”

A huge yellow monster mumbled from a high platform: “Here, I hope that this year we can find out who killed our brothers and bring them to justice, to comfort our brothers watching over us.”

“No need to search… They were killed by me.”

As soon as the words were finished, a faint voice suddenly resounded above the heads of a group of strong creatures!
