“Outsiders, I’m sure I asked you to leave, but you are still here. I will be merciful since you are not from our tribe, and I don’t want to spill useless blood, so please leave. This is my last warning; otherwise, get ready to die!”
Smiling in amusement, Ashen stared at this foolish bodyguard. This bodyguard didn’t have any idea how much those words could cost him.
At this moment, Ashen felt a pull on his clothes, attracting his attention.
He looked down only to see the scared expression on both little siblings’ faces as Yan Xiu requested: “Big Brother Ashen, I’m scared. Let’s leave here!”
“See, even this child knows what’s good for her,” The bodyguard commented with a smirk.
Ashen ignored his comment as he warmly smiled at both children, assuring: “There is no need to be scared you two. Here, Let me make this bad man apologize to you on his knees. That will surely remove your fear”
“You… What did you say?” The bodyguard yelled upon hearing Ashen’s claims: “You dare even think about making me apologize on my knees? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you in the next five seconds if you don’t leave!”
“Oh, I’d like to see you back up your claims then!” Ashen challenged calmly.
“Alright then, get ready to die!” The bodyguard roared before pouncing on Ashen with a palm covered in blood qi.
In response, Ashen smiled as he released his King Realm aura violently, sending the bodyguard flying to the back before retrieving his aura instantly as if it was never there.
Since the aura was there only for an instant, common people like Yan Li and the children didn’t even react to it.
Also, Ashen hadn’t simply released his aura, he controlled it. He had first created a shield of aura around himself and the children before letting his aura loose to send the bodyguard flying.
“W-What happened?”
Everyone who witnessed the scene had this question, however, the one who asked this was the bodyguard himself.
He had felt as if a wall had suddenly appeared in between Ashen and him that sent him rolling to the back.
Even everyone who witnessed this scene was bewildered by this weird incident.
The bodyguard didn’t even doubt that Ashen could be a hidden master due the fact that it was very difficult to show a fake cultivation to others.
There were artifacts that could let you do that, however, they were only available to the royal family and the four sacred clans.
Even if someone was unreasonably powerful, he would only appear as a mortal without any cultivation to others instead of having some lower cultivation.
However, seeing the confident smile on Ashen’s face, the bodyguard knew that this was no mere coincidence.
“What did you do? Tell me!” He yelled, asking for the cause of that uncommon occurrence.
At this moment, Someone appeared from the sky, landing beside Ashen before bowing: “What happened, Young Lord?”
It was an old man with white hair and a long beard. It was the carriage master. He had sensed the threatening aura released by Ashen and had come as fast as he could.
Seeing the carriage master bowing in front of Ashen, the three Tribe-heads rushed to know his identity and greet the carriage master.
“We greet the carriage-master!” They greeted with a bow.
Since the carriage master was a core-formation realm expert, they had to show him respect. In their small tribe, there was no core-formation expert.
And even if they were to somehow produce a core-formation master, then that core-formation realm individual would be scouted into one of the prefecture lord’s staff.
“Carriage-master, what is the identity of this individual that would make even someone like you treat them with such respect?” One of the Tribe-heads asked curiously.
The old man shot them a glare before thinking to himself: “These uncouth tribe-people!… They must’ve offended the young lord! I should make my stand clear before he takes his anger out on our carriage people as well!”
“Um… Young Lord, I want to make it clear that our carriage or I have no relation to these boor tribes. If they have offended you, just give me the order and I’ll make them disappear!” The old man expressed his stand on the situation with butter-laced words. It was clear that this old man was sucking up to Ashen.
Hearing the old carriage-master’s words, The tribe-heads knew what they had to do for the survival of their tribes.
Kneel! -Kneel! -Kneel!…
Thud! Thud! Thud!…
The Tribe-heads along with their bodyguards knelt on the grounds in front of Ashen.
They knew that the bodyguard had said some disrespectful words to him and that could spell trouble or even destruction for their tribe.
It was then they heard Ashen speak: “Old Sir, while you were not here, that bodyguard threatened to take my life!”
He pointed at the bodyguard who was seeing all this with disbelief in his eyes from the ground.
Then Ashen asked: “What do you think I should do?”
Is this a test?
The old man thought before answering as if the answer was obvious: “Since he dared to threaten the young lord without knowing his place, he should be killed!”
Hearing that, the bodyguard began to sweat rapidly as he shuddered in fear. He knew this was no joke since a core-formation realm cultivator was the one who said those words.
On the other hand, the tribe-heads were relieved. According to them, though it was a pity for an origin realm cultivator to die like this, however, it was a noble sacrifice when considering the fact that the whole tribe could be vanished.
Ashen also noticed the relieved expression of these tribe-heads as he asked further: “Then what about the one who ordered them? If I remember correctly, he only threatened me on the order of the tribe-head!”
Since the old man’s life was not on the line, he didn’t care about the others. He instantly answered: “He should also be killed!”
Hearing those words, the color of the Tribe-head’s face darkened as his condition began resembling the bodyguard.
Meanwhile, the remaining tribe-heads were joyous. It would mean that their competition would lessen and they maybe able to takeover the tribe.
However, Ashen didn’t like their joyous expressions as he asked more: “Then what about the ones who supported his order and what about the ones who didn’t stop them from threatening me?”
“Oh, so that’s what you want young lord…” The old man thought before answering: “Their whole tribe is at fault, everyone should be killed! Just give the order, young lord. I’ll make their tribes disappear within an hour!”
The old man was rather happy to be the one to do it since that would allow him to simply take all the valuables for himself from the tribes without giving anything in return.
“T-This… What is this? This is just unreasonable!” The Tribe-heads cried out in their minds.
