I'll Show You Something Good

"So, you've basically left the Jiang Family now?" Tu Tian's eyes flickered. He wasn't interested in the messy affairs of the Ancient Desolate Families, but if Jiang Rui had indeed left the Jiang Family, then eliminating Jiang Rui would be marginally less problematic.

After all, he didn't want to offend the Jiang Family too much.

"Pretty much!" Jiang Rui, unaware of the approaching danger, gave a sinister laugh. "I heard that Brother Tu's biggest regret in life was not being able to abduct a Saintess as his wife. And even your grandson aspires to abduct a Saintess?"

Tu Tian didn't hide it, laughing heartily, "Haha, my grandson certainly has some of my old spirit! It's just a shame that all the families in the Eastern Barrens are so heavily guarded against us. It's not easy to abduct one!"

"I might be able to help your admirable grandson fulfill this small wish!"

"Oh? Is Brother Jiang also one of us?"

Jiang Rui shook his head, a mysterious smile on his face. "What I mean is, I can help you abduct someone from the Jiang Family… Don't worry, while our Jiang Family doesn't have the whole Holy Son and Saintess system, the person I'm picking for you is absolutely a true prodigy!"

This old bastard is actually selling out his own clansmen; it's truly disgusting! Tu Tian thought with disdain, though his face showed a look of being tempted. "Wouldn't that be bad? After all, she's your clanswoman, Brother Jiang. Besides, what if your Jiang Family's Holy Lord comes after me with the Sun God Furnace?"

He talks about abducting a Saintess, but now that it's crunch time, he wants to back out. He has the heart of a thief but not the courage. Do you even deserve to be called a Great Bandit? Jiang Rui's contempt grew, but he soothed him verbally, "Brother Tu, you don't need to worry. Although the girl I'm talking about has unparalleled talent, she's actually not highly valued within the clan!"

Tu Tian frowned. "An undervalued peerless genius? Are you trying to trick me?"

Jiang Rui explained, "Brother Tu, you don't know, but that girl has the Grand Yin Physique. Although her cultivation talent is extraordinary, she almost certainly won't live past twenty. Many elders in the clan don't approve of wasting resources on her!"

"It's actually the Grand Yin Physique, that's rare!" Tu Tian nodded, then snorted coldly. "However, what are your intentions, making my grandson marry a girl who won't live past twenty?"

Jiang Rui sneered, "Out with the old, in with the new. When you get tired of her, you can even use her as a Cauldron and drain her Grand Yin Origin. Where else would you find such a good deal?"

Damn it, how is this guy even more vicious than us bandits? Who's the Great Bandit here anyway? Tu Tian felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but send a voice transmission to the two demons hidden in the Demonic Jar. "I'm almost losing control. I want to smash this guy's head in right now!"

The Azure Flood Dragon King transmitted back, "This isn't the place to act. We need to find a way to earn his trust and lure him outside of Holy City!"

Seeing Tu Tian fall silent, seemingly struggling with a decision, Jiang Rui sneered inwardly, Hmph! That little girl is the only descendant of Jiang Yi's elder brother. With Jiang Yi's personality, if he knew his elder brother's descendant was harmed by that little bandit, he would definitely fight Tu Tian to the death… At that time, I'll use keeping his secret as leverage to threaten him, making him publicly support me so I can establish myself among the fourteen Great Bandits. Perhaps… I might even be able to get my hands on his Sky-devouring Demonic Pot!

Just as Tu Tian was about to endure the disgust and continue talking to Jiang Rui, the Crow King suddenly spoke up, "Actually, acting here isn't impossible!"

The Azure Flood Dragon King exclaimed, "Could it be that Brother Crow, you're confident you can kill him in one blow?"

"I wasn't confident, but before we came, the Young Master lent me a divine object, and now I am!" the Crow King said with full confidence.

"Divine object?" The Azure Flood Dragon King was a bit confused. What kind of divine object could a small Dao Palace cultivator possess?

Tu Tian, however, didn't think that far. "Brother Crow, hurry and act! If you keep talking, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting him!"

Outside, Jiang Rui smiled at Tu Tian. "So, Brother Tu, did I show enough sincerity?"

"Enough sincerity, enough sincerity!" Tu Tian nodded repeatedly. "To show my sincerity, I'll also show Brother Jiang something good!"

"Something good? Then I must take a good look…"

Before he could finish speaking, Tu Tian opened the Sky-devouring Demonic Pot.

The Crow King transformed into a streak of light and flew out from the ancient pottery jar. Jiang Rui's expression changed drastically, and without thinking, he prepared to open the palace and escape.

"It's that crow! They've teamed up!" Jiang Rui felt immense hatred. For a moment, his hatred for Tu Tian surpassed that for the Crow King.

Although the palace was vast, with the speed of a mighty expert, he reached the edge of the great hall in an instant.

However, the Crow King's true form was that of a divine bird, and his cultivation was that of a King. His speed was naturally far superior to Jiang Rui's, catching up to him before Jiang Rui could fly out of the palace!

Seeing the Crow King pressing a small wisp of flame toward him, Jiang Rui felt a sense of relief mixed with a sneer. He wants to kill me with this flame?

However, he didn't underestimate this wisp of flame either.

Although his various powers in the Jiang Family had been stripped, his personal treasures had not been recovered.

He summoned various Dao artifacts and precious treasures, their divine light soaring into the sky, and immense pressure permeated the air!

Jiang Rui felt secure and threatened, "You two just wait, I will definitely return…"

The next moment, the small wisp of flame landed on the replica of the Hengyu Furnace summoned by Jiang Rui.

Like a spark falling into a sea of oil, the fire instantly surged, and in Jiang Rui's disbelieving eyes, the sea of flames engulfed him!

In just an instant, all the treasures and Jiang Rui himself turned to ashes, not even having time to finish his threats!

Seeing this, Tu Tian and the Azure Flood Dragon King, who had followed him out, were both startled and quickly moved away from that wisp of flame, their eyes filled with shock and apprehension!

That Jiang Rui, despite his flaws, was still a mighty expert, and he had numerous treasures. Yet, he was burned to ashes simply by contact with this flame!

Such a thing was simply beyond their imagination!

Tu Tian, still shaken, asked, "What, what kind of flame is this?"

The Crow King proudly retrieved the small wisp of flame. "This is Immortal Fire!"

"Immortal Fire!" Tu Tian gasped, pondered for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Could it be the legendary tenth flame of the Fire Domain!"

The Crow King said, "That's right!"

Tu Tian stared intensely at the small wisp of flame in the Crow King's hand. Legend had it that this flame had burned Immortals to death!

The Azure Flood Dragon King looked shocked. "I remember Brother Crow saying you borrowed a divine object from Young Master Shen Ye?"

The Crow King nodded. "This divine object belongs to my master!"

"Young Master Shen Ye actually has such a treasure…" The Azure Flood Dragon King sighed, then belatedly reacted. "Wait, master?"

Tu Tian also widened his eyes. What was going on?

The Crow King smiled faintly. "I have decided to follow my master and become a general under him!"

"Brother Crow, is there something wrong with your cultivation?" The Azure Flood Dragon King asked with some concern.

"I've heard that the Dao Severing tribulation is extremely perilous. Those undergoing it might see various illusions, and even if they succeed, they could still be trapped in an illusion!" Tu Tian said solemnly!
