Beastmaster of the Ages

Ling Yichen smiled briefly.
“Know not who I am? Does Ling Yichen sound familiar?”

“Ling Yichen?” The three brothers exchanged glances, then blanched on the spot.
Their next words were much more obsequious.
“Inspector of Heaven’s Elysium! Mr Ling, there must be some misunderstanding.
The Duanmu clan had always been loyal, and we never made a single mistake…”

Ling Yichen sneered.
“There’s no misunderstanding.
I’m here today on Lady Long’s orders.
Your whole clan is to be executed.
At.
Her.
Request.”

“What!” The three brothers’ faces paled even further, and they began to have trouble breathing.

“Lady Long? An elysium child!” Duanmu Yang said in disbelief.

“So you do know the positions of elysium children, eh? This Lady Long will be the strongest cultivator, even in the entire Grand-Orient Realm!” Ling Yichen’s words rang out loud.

“Greetings to Lady Long!” The three of them hurriedly slammed their heads onto the floor, prostrating towards the young girl, even though the rest of the clan were present.

An elysium child! How could someone of such magnitude deign to show up in a rural city like theirs! And how could they have possibly offended the elysium child? It was no different from a prince sentencing a housebound peasant to death!

The clan began to panic.

“But Lady Long, you must have made a mistake! The Duanmu Clan has never offended you in any way!” Duanmu Yang cried.

Ling Yichen snickered.
“Really? Why don ’t you ask Lady Long for her name?”

“Lady Long, may… may we know your name?” All the clan members were kneeling on the floor right now.

“Duanmu Yang,” Lady Long’s eyes shone with cold light as she pointed at herself.
“During the nine years I was gone from here, you killed my mother, exiled my clan and claimed Yueling City as your own.
Tell me, do you think you can make it out alive today?”

Her voice left the Duanmu Clan trembling.

“Yueling Xiao had a youngest daughter who went missing at eight.
Her name…
her name… it was ‘Yueling Long’.” The three brothers stared at the black veiled girl, terror written all over their face.

“No… How can a place like ours birth an elysium child… no way…” Many of the others had already burst out in tears.

“RUN!”

“HURRY!!!”

That was perhaps the best course of action.
Against the inspector, they were but ants after all.

“Uncle Chen, kill every single one of them, and hang the three brothers’ heads on the city gate.”

“My pleasure.”

A tragic slaughter followed these words.
On that fateful day, the river of Duanmu city ran red with blood.
None escaped from the inspector, and none could fight him.
Even the three Duanmu brothers, the overlords and the strongest of the city, fell in a single exchange.
The girl stood on her beast, and looked down on the slaughter coldly.
No one knew what she had gone through in the past nine years, but she had emerged alive.
The moment she was crowned as an elysium child, nothing in this world could stop her ascent to greatness.

She witnessed the death of the three brothers, watched as each and every member of the Duanmu clan breathed their last.
And yet, the light in her eyes flickered.

It didn’t take long before the clan was pulled out by its roots.

“Lady Long, there’s only a newborn left.
Kill? Or…” Ling Yichen’s black robe was stained with blood, an infant in his hands.
A birdling whimpered beside the infant.

“Hand him to me.” The girl picked up the infant.
He was a cute little boy who didn’t know what had just happened, and only found it fun that he was in the clouds now.

Without any change in emotion, the girl let go.

The child fell to the ground, joining the rest of his family with a sickening splat.
As for the bird, it was crushed to a pulp by the girl.

The girl threw one last glance at the hell below them and said, “Come on, Torch Dragon awaits.”

Ling Yichen swallowed the lump in his throat.

“Yes, Lady Long.”

The two of them set sail once again, leaving behind the land of corpses and a trembling city.

“So after Lady Long’s clan was evicted from Yueling City, they managed to evade capture by the Duanmu Clan and eventually arrived at the peninsula, where they settled in Torch Dragon?” Ling Yichen asked.

“That’s right.” The girl nodded.

“Speaking of which, is that Torch Dragon Nation perhaps related to your Red-Horned Torch Dragon?”

“The royal clan there is a branch of our Yueling Clan.
But their blood is impure, and their so-called ‘Torch Dragons’ are just mongrels.”

“I see.
So Lady Long came all the way from the Elysium this time to settle your family down properly.”

“That’s right.”

“Once that is done, Lady Long can finally cultivate in Heaven’s Elysium in peace.
It just so happens that I’ll be picking up someone named Lin Xiaoting too.
Also, the show that Lady Long had asked me to arrange is ready.”
