In the woods, the rain had stopped.

The leader of the men in black looked fearfully at his brother’s body. It was charred beyond recognition, a sight so grotesque it made him nauseous. He had killed before and seen his share of bloodshed, but to witness a person burned alive like this was utterly shocking.

Wu Tian had slowly approached the assassin leader. Staring into the man’s terrified eyes, he asked, "Speak. Who hired you?"

The assassin leader trembled, unsure whether to speak. As an assassin, he had to uphold his professional ethics. Moreover, the employer had been masked. Even if he had deduced the employer’s identity, he couldn’t just reveal it. Besides, the shock had left his thoughts in a muddle.

A Qilin! Could a mythical creature like a Qilin really exist?

"Not talking?" Wu Tian’s eyes grew cold. He glanced at Little Kirin and ordered, "Medium rare."

Medium rare? Does he think this is a kitchen? The assassin leader, jolted by the chilling words and Wu Tian’s sheer presence, snapped out of it. "No, no, no! I’ll talk!" he stammered.

What a spineless creature. Wu Tian sneered inwardly.

Little Kirin also looked at the assassin leader with contempt. He called me a dog? He’s the one who’s more suited to be a dog!

"Here’s the situation," the assassin leader began hastily, afraid Wu Tian would strike. "The employer was masked, so we don’t know his identity! But I was able to make a few deductions. His choice to hire us, and not some other group, suggests he’s local. Secondly, he wore a mask, which means his identity is well-known around here. In this territory, the only people who would dare to make a move against the Eastern Taizhong Palace are members of the Palace itself."

Wu Tian nodded.

"Alright, I’ve told you everything. Can I go now?" the assassin leader asked. With that, he turned and scrambled to flee, abandoning the corpse of the man he once called a brother, with whom he’d sworn to share both fortune and hardship.

"Does someone like that deserve to live?" Wu Tian scoffed coldly. He’d never promised to let the man go just for talking. He looked at Little Kirin and said, "Medium-well."

"Yes!"

Little Kirin nodded and immediately spewed a torrent of fire.

"No!"

Amidst the roaring Wisdom King’s Flame, the assassin leader was burned to death. He said medium-well, and medium-well it was.

"Earth Spirit Root!"

Wu Tian made a tentative effort to use the power. Instantly, the ground roiled as if an Earth Dragon were turning over beneath it, and the earth rose up to bury the corpses one by one.

The Earth Spirit Root? It seems I still have a lot to learn about using it. Wu Tian was still unfamiliar with this power from the Cultivation system.

This Earth is getting worse and worse. Wu Tian couldn’t help but sigh. After all, Earth was his home.

Unfortunately, the path I walk is one of thorns. Wu Tian smiled bitterly to himself, only able to say aloud, "You have to learn to trust me completely. Even if the sky falls, I am undying and indestructible. Nothing will happen to me."
