Based on Xiang Wendian's report that day, Ye Linyuan was basically able to determine Chu Tianyao's strength.
Ye Linyuan did not intend to kill Chu Tianyao, but rather he admired her talent.
So he deliberately waited a month...
He wanted to see how much Chu Tianyao could improve in a month.
As it turned out, the other party was indeed a prodigy.
"This person is so young; if he can't be used by me..."
Ye Linyuan looked at Chu Tianyao and said, "You killed Wu Dalang of Bitter Sea Town. Did you know that Wu Dalang was one of my men?"
Chu Tianyao said in a deep voice, "I know."
Ye Linyuan slowly said, "Since you know that Wu Dalang is from Linyuan City, you still dare to make a move?"
"Wu Dalang was just a petty official; killing him is no big deal," Chu Tianyao said with a faint smile. "If you want to pursue the matter, then go ahead and do it."
Ye Linyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. "In that case, you may come with us."
Xiang Wendian said, "I heard that you killed a female cultivator from the Yan Yang Sect in the suburbs thirty miles away."
"Let's go there today and resolve this matter..."
Chu Tianyao glanced at Xiang Wendian and said, "Let's go."
The three sped off towards the eastern suburbs.
......
Ye Linyuan, Xiang Wendian, and Chu Tianyao are all Golden Core Realm experts.
In just a few breaths, they arrived deep in the outskirts of Zuiyue County...
A light rain began to fall, and the pattering raindrops scattered on the ground.
But not a single drop of rain fell on the three of them.
Ye Linyuan said calmly, "Wu Dalang is just a minor Qi Refining Realm cultivator."
“I don’t care whether he lives or dies, but I need you to give me an answer… Bitter Sea Town is under the jurisdiction of Lin Yuan City, and Wu Dalang is my subordinate.”
"If you don't have an attitude that satisfies me, you'll die here."
Chu Tianyao chuckled, "I wonder what kind of attitude Lord Ye wants me to take?"
"It's very simple. You just need to join me... and you'll become the fifth hero of Lin Yuan City!"
Ye Linyuan slowly said, "The Four Heroes of Linyuan City hold a prestigious position. They also have ample cultivation resources and crystals. What do you say?"
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, "If what Ye Linyuan said is true... then this might not be a bad choice."
"If I just use the crystals to buy magical artifacts and then recycle them through the system... wouldn't that be a way to farm Dao Points?!"
"In this way... I can break through to the Nascent Soul realm even faster! Once I break through to the Nascent Soul realm, what about being the number one Golden Core cultivator? I can easily crush him!"
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao's eyes flickered. "City Lord Ye, are you saying... as long as I pledge allegiance to Lin Yuan City, all past matters will be wiped clean, and I will even be given a large amount of cultivation resources?"
Ye Linyuan said calmly, "Of course... As long as you become the fifth outstanding talent of Linyuan City, you can choose any magic weapon at the Golden Core stage, and you'll have plenty of crystals."
"However... when you join Lin Yuan City, you need to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao! You must not betray Lin Yuan City for twenty years. After twenty years, you are free to stay or leave. I will not stop you."
Chu Tianyao's expression darkened as he communicated with the system in his mind.
"System, do you have a way to erase something like a Heavenly Oath?"
"Boom! Greetings, host. The Heavenly Oath is the will of Heaven. It cannot be easily erased... (Cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm can dissolve the Heavenly Oath by enduring the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation.)"
Chu Tianyao's lips twitched slightly. "What the hell... this is supposed to be a way to break a Heavenly Oath by enduring the Nine Heavens Tribulation? Is that even human language? I know that enduring the Nine Heavens Tribulation can break a Heavenly Oath!"
"Phew... Ye Linyuan is indeed worthy of being the Lord of Linyuan City, so shrewd and calculating. It seems that I will have to work for Linyuan City for twenty years to join."
"At my current cultivation speed, if I proceed steadily, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage within a year shouldn't be a problem."
"Moreover, I just learned from Qin Hongjin that the cultivation world is divided into the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm... The bottleneck of my current Lower Realm realm is the Nascent Soul Realm."
"How could I possibly waste twenty years staying in the Lower Realm..."
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao slowly shook his head. "Lord Ye, I can join Lin Yuan City. But I will not make a Heavenly Oath."
Ye Linyuan sighed. "Chu Tianyao, you're a talented person. So, I'm willing to give you a chance..."
"If you refuse, I will kill you right here!"
Chu Tianyao said calmly, "I don't like being threatened, Lord Ye... From now on, there is no possibility for us to be friends."
"Heh..." Ye Linyuan sighed softly, "Since that's the case, then kill them."
Following Ye Linyuan's words, Xiang Wendian took a step forward.
His gaze toward Chu Tianyao became somewhat fervent. "Kid, you've broken through another realm in just one month. That's truly a pleasant surprise."
Chu Tianyao looked at Xiang Wendian with some confusion, "You couldn't beat me a month ago, but now that I've broken through to the next level... where does your confidence come from?"
"Hehe..." Xiang Wendian's smile turned somewhat strange. "A month ago... that was because the city lord wouldn't let me kill you."
"Now, I can show you my true strength!"
A look of madness began to appear in Xiang Wendian's eyes...
At that moment, his momentum suddenly surged.
"Boom!" Xiang Wendian suddenly threw a punch!
At that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble.
A phantom image of a tiger suddenly appeared behind him...
The tiger's roar in the mountains and forests transformed into a fist beam that tore through the void, carrying the terrifying killing power of a peak ninth level Golden Core Realm cultivator, heading straight for Chu Tianyao.
As it passed, the air was torn apart, forming visible spatial rifts that emitted a piercing shriek.
At this moment, Xiang Wendian was almost insane!
His punch, delivered while in a state of madness, actually possessed the killing power of a peak ninth-level Golden Core cultivator!
"Well done!" Chu Tianyao sensed Xiang Wendian's fist intent, and instead of being surprised, he was delighted...
At this moment, he felt an overwhelming fighting spirit!
Having reached the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm, Chu Tianyao was confident that he could use his Yin-Yang Chaos Body to fight against a ninth-level Golden Core Realm expert.
At this moment, the fighting prowess displayed by Xiang Wendian ignited a surge of fighting spirit in him.
Chu Tianyao let out a clear whistle, his figure suddenly rising like a dragon soaring through the heavens. His aura surged, and the spiritual energy in the world seemed to be drawn to him by an invisible force, frantically converging on him.
His fists were clenched, his muscles were bulging, and his veins were standing out. Every inch of his skin contained earth-shattering power.
"Heaven-Shaking Fist, Third Form—Fist Shadow Like a Dragon!"
His right fist suddenly swung out, and in an instant, space seemed to be torn apart. An incomparably powerful fist intent soared into the sky, transforming into a golden dragon that roared as it charged toward its opponent.
