I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities
Chapter 456: Self-Reflection
Out of curiosity, Zhang Yuan didn’t immediately send off the corpses on the ground.
He checked them, and then discovered that the other person’s heart was actually on the right side!
No wonder the arrow pierced through the chest earlier, leaving such a large hole, and still didn’t kill them on the spot.
If it weren’t for the transmigration abilities of the Divine Nest that could discern life and death, someone else might have overlooked it, letting them escape.
Truly, there are all kinds of wonders in such a vast world.
This also served as a reminder to Zhang Yuan to diligently finish off his enemies in the future.
Even if it costs some Source Material, it’s worth it!
After waving his hand to transmigrate the headless corpse, Zhang Yuan then transmigrated the first guy he shot.
He obliterated the last traces of them in this world.
Looking at the ground covered with crocodile skins and the heaps of discarded white crocodile meat, he couldn’t help but touch his chin.
With a sharp whistle, Zhang Yuan summoned the Gray-toothed Lynx and Red-eyed Crow that were patrolling nearby.
He pointed at the crocodile meat on the ground.
The Gray-toothed Lynx didn’t hesitate at all and immediately pounced on it to feast.
This creature was quite picky with food, not touching the stinky innards at all, and only gnawing on the tenderest parts.
The Red-eyed Crow, on the other hand, ate more elegantly and only devoured the heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, and other innards.
The two complemented each other quite well.
However, the Red-eyed Crow’s appetite was far less than that of the Gray-toothed Lynx.
The latter seemed to possess the bloodline of a gluttonous beast, able to devour food weighing more than its own body at a time.
Seeing it eat with such relish, Zhang Yuan took out a dagger and cut off large chunks of crocodile meat to store in the Storage Space.
The Storage Space had excellent preservation abilities. Fresh meat stored inside could be taken out months later and would be just as fresh as when it was first put in.
It was perfect as a reserve for the Gray-toothed Lynx.
Unlike the Red-eyed Crow, the Gray-toothed Lynx was a completely living Divine Nest Host.
Since it was often let loose outside by Zhang Yuan, it required a large amount of meat daily.
Zhang Yuan didn’t lack silver coins from selling meat, but such fresh Fierce Beast Meat wasn’t easy to come by and couldn’t be overlooked.
As for the dozen rolls of crocodile skin, he also stored them in the Storage Space.
In fact, after entering Mo Yuan today, Zhang Yuan quickly caught up with this Yang Family team.
But he followed them from a distance without taking action.
Not until they surrounded and killed this group of Dragon Head Crocodiles and completed the most troublesome work did he suddenly launch his attack.
It was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; everything went smoothly, and he reaped all the benefits!
After the Gray-toothed Lynx was full and satisfied, Zhang Yuan then sacrificed the remaining blood and innards on the ground.
Then leisurely returned to Upper Scenic Celestial.
Two days later, he wiped out another Yang Family team in Mo Yuan.
This team had two Tier Five members belonging to the Yang Family, with much stronger power than the previous team, and far sharper weaponry and equipment.
Zhang Yuan paid the price of a minor injury, but the gains far exceeded the previous!
After the battle, after cleaning up the battlefield, he returned to his residence at Lin Xian Manor and rested for five days.
On the sixth day, when Zhang Yuan’s injuries were almost healed, he received a talisman from Master Wei Long, the Dharma Transmission Elder.
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhang Yuan immediately headed to the Martial Pavilion.
Inside the Quiet Chamber, the white-haired Wei Long stared with a complex expression at Zhang Yuan, who was sitting respectfully across from him.
In a deep voice, he said, "Zhang Yuan, do you really want to have a fight to the death with the Yang Family?"
Zhang Yuan was momentarily stunned: "Huh?"
Wei Long sneered, "The two Yang Family hunting teams have not returned from Mo Yuan. Don’t say it has nothing to do with you!"
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but open his eyes wide: "No, I didn’t, who says it was me?"
His expression of wronged indignation and innocence almost convinced even the seasoned Wei Long.
But how could Wei Long be an ordinary person? This Tier Six expert, looking deeply into Zhang Yuan’s eyes, said casually, "It’s right not to admit it. The rules of Upper Scenic Celestial can’t control what happens inside Mo Yuan, but not many of the Martial Artists who died were Yang Family disciples."
Zhang Yuan chuckled ruefully, "Master Wei, if others want to think that way, there’s nothing I can do about it."
The fact was that he did it, and he killed those people, but within the confines of the Upper Scenic Celestial Peak Gate, Zhang Yuan would absolutely never admit it.
Even if everyone knew it was him!
And Wei Long was reminding Zhang Yuan that many of the Martial Artists he killed had notable backgrounds.
In fact, none of those who could enter the Upper Scenic Celestial Martial Pavilion for cultivation were simple characters.
Zhang Yuan had killed so many people, offending quite a few factions!
Did Zhang Yuan not think of this?
Of course he did!
In Zhang Yuan’s view, since those guys chose to align themselves under the Yang Family, they were nothing to fear.
So what if they were offended? When he reaches Tier Six, Tier Seven, or even a higher tier,
The enemies would just bow and scrape, greeting him with a smile!
In the end, in this world, strength speaks the loudest.
Also, killing these people served as a strong deterrent to others, letting everyone know the consequences of siding with the Yang Family.
"No matter if you deny it,"
Wei Long said as he looked at him, "The Yang Family has already lodged a complaint against you with the Sect, and the Sect has made a decision."
Hmm?
Zhang Yuan almost laughed.
The dignified Yang Family of Qianjing, reportedly a prestigious clan with Tier Seven bigwigs, actually filed a complaint with Upper Scenic Celestial against him, a Tier Five Martial Artist with no power or influence?
That’s just utterly absurd!
But in reality, the Yang Family had no choice.
Although the Yang Family had considerable influence in Upper Scenic Celestial, it couldn’t wield much power, since the Sect wouldn’t tolerate Qianjing’s influence running rampant within its own boundaries.
Zhang Yuan first crippled the Yang Family’s prodigy, then killed one of their Elders, and finally wiped out the two carefully organized teams. Yet there was no effective solution.
Previously, the Yang Family went to great lengths to hire a Tier Six expert, but even that effort failed to succeed.
They couldn’t possibly bring over the bigwigs stationed at Qianjing, could they?
Upper Scenic Celestial wouldn’t allow it either!
So despite their deep hatred for Zhang Yuan, the Yang Family ultimately had to resort to the only option left to them.
Zhang Yuan was indignant: "What evidence do they have?"
"No evidence."
Wei Long replied, "It’s just that the Sect feels you’ve been quite restless recently, affecting the stability of the Martial Pavilion, so you’ve been ordered to reflect at Siguofeng for a year, and without permission, you’re not allowed to leave."
"Of course..."
Wei Long continued, "You can refuse, but then Upper Scenic Celestial will no longer allow you to continue your cultivation."
Zhang Yuan was speechless.
He knew Siguofeng—that’s where Upper Scenic Celestial disciples went to reflect and repent after making mistakes.
He never expected to receive the treatment of a Sect disciple.
After a brief contemplation, he immediately bowed and said, "Zhang Yuan is willing to go to Siguofeng for reflection!"
Are you kidding? It’s just a year. It’s much better than being kicked out of Upper Scenic Celestial right now.
Besides, Zhang Yuan could take advantage of this year to peacefully enhance his cultivation and realm!
