Chapter 387 - 386: Clues? Seeking Revenge?

RUMBLE!

As Tang Yi stomped his foot, the ground once again rumbled and trembled with terrifying might, as if by the power of the heavens themselves.

Furthermore, as Tang Yi stomped, he unleashed an incomparably powerful aura. This was the aura of a Battle Emperor—how could the Martial Artists of Fengyue City possibly resist it?

Instantly, under the shock of his stomp and the pressure of his immense aura, all the Martial Artists present stumbled and fell to their knees!

Even if they were dissatisfied, even if they refused to accept it, they had no choice but to submit to Tang Yi!

Because Tang Yi could kill them in an instant. Because Tang Yi was stronger than they were!

Then, Tang Yi looked at the Martial Artists of Fengyue City and asked again in an ice-cold voice, "Speak! What happened to the Tang Family?!"

"We’ll talk! We’ll talk! Tang Yi, just withdraw your aura first!"

The Su Family Patriarch was the first to submit.

In just that short moment, in addition to being forced to his knees, the immense pressure had drenched him in a cold sweat.

"Tang Yi, please withdraw your aura. We can talk about this calmly."

The Fan Family’s Clan Leader also yielded.

With the clan leaders of two of Fengyue City’s great Noble Families yielding to Tang Yi, the other families and Independent Martial Artists also began to grovel, pleading for mercy!

Could they afford not to? Could they afford not to yield?

Good heavens, a single stomp felt like the world was ending. Who wouldn’t be terrified of such power?

Everyone had been doubtful before, assuming the first tremor hadn’t been caused by Tang Yi. After all, he was too young. How could such a young Martial Artist possess that kind of strength?

That was why they had dared to accuse him.

Now that they saw he was truly the cause—that he truly possessed such power—no one dared to say another word.

Accusing an expert of this caliber was simply courting death.

Respect your elders? Know your place?

Those rules were for the weak. On the Saint Martial Continent, there was no hierarchy of age or status—only the strong and the weak!

Seeing the Martial Artists of Fengyue City yield, Tang Yi snorted coldly and withdrew his Battle Emperor aura.

In truth, Tang Yi had only released one-twentieth of his full Battle Emperor aura. If he had unleashed it completely, everyone present might have been crushed to death by the pressure alone.

A Battle Emperor was not someone to be trifled with.

Only after Tang Yi retracted his aura could the Martial Artists of Fengyue City move again, feeling a great sense of relief.

However, the pressure had left them exhausted and their spirits drained. As soon as the weight lifted, they began gasping for air.

"Speak. One by one. You first!" Tang Yi said, pointing at the Su Family Patriarch as the Martial Artists of Fengyue City slowly got to their feet.

"Ah." The Su Family Patriarch froze for a second at being singled out. He didn’t dare hesitate and slowly began telling Tang Yi everything he knew.

At this point, how could he possibly dare to question Tang Yi’s attitude, speak ill of him, or conceal anything?

With Tang Yi’s power, annihilating his entire clan—let alone killing him—would be effortless. How could he possibly dare to provoke him?

Afterward, Tang Yi went through them one by one, making each person recount what they knew. By cross-referencing their accounts and piecing together the information, he began to get a general idea of the catastrophe that had befallen the Tang Family.

It turned out that only a few days after Tang Yi had passed the qualification exam and left Fengyue City, a group of black-robed men had appeared. Each of them was supremely powerful, and the Tang Family Members had been utterly powerless to resist their slaughter.

In less than half a day, the Tang Family was wiped out completely.

To avoid getting caught in the crossfire, the various Noble Families and Independent Martial Artists of Fengyue City kept their distance. They didn’t dare go near the Tang Family, much less get involved!

The West Mansion’s Fengyue City Branch Mansion did try to intervene. After all, the Western Domain was under the West Mansion’s jurisdiction; how could they tolerate people committing murder and arson in their territory?

But... in the end, even the experts from the West Mansion’s Fengyue City Branch Mansion were slaughtered to the last man.

After that, the Noble Families and Independent Martial Artists of Fengyue City became even more terrified of the black-robed men. How could they possibly dare to stand up for the Tang Family?

They wouldn’t even consider coming to the Tang Family estate to collect the bodies!

No one dared to even approach the Tang Family estate!

If they hadn’t known the black-robed men had been gone for a long time, they probably wouldn’t have dared to come today, no matter how great the commotion. It was only because they knew the men were gone that they had the courage to come here at all!

"Then did any of you see my father, Tang Haotian?" Tang Yi asked after gathering his thoughts.

Hearing Tang Yi’s question, everyone shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t.

Tang Yi was deeply disappointed.

The Su Family Patriarch spoke on behalf of the crowd. "Tang Yi, I understand how you feel, but we didn’t dare go anywhere near the estate. We have no idea what the situation was like, so we don’t know anything about Clan Leader Tang’s whereabouts."

The others nodded in agreement. The Su Family Patriarch had said what was on everyone’s mind.

"Alright. Do you know if those black-robed men had any distinguishing features? Or any unique characteristics about the Martial Techniques they used?" Tang Yi asked again.

Once again, everyone shook their heads.

They hadn’t even dared to get close, so how would they know about the men’s features or the Martial Techniques they used?

However, just when Tang Yi was beginning to lose hope, the Mu Family Patriarch stepped forward. "Tang Yi, there’s something I want to say, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate."

"Clan Leader Mu, please speak," Tang Yi said at once.

"It’s like this. When the disaster first struck the Tang Family, I actually rushed over, wanting to help. But after I saw the black-robed men in action, I gave up that idea and hid. They were simply too powerful, too ruthless. They killed without even blinking. I wanted to help, but I wasn’t strong enough. Although I couldn’t assist the Tang Family, I was able to observe them from my hiding place. It seemed like the black-robed men were looking for someone. Whenever they encountered a member of the Tang Family, they would ask a few questions first. Only after confirming it wasn’t the person they sought would they execute them on the spot," the Mu Family Patriarch explained slowly.

"Are you saying those black-robed men came to the Tang Family to find someone for revenge?" Rage flared in Tang Yi’s heart again, and he almost lost control and erupted.

Fortunately, he managed to suppress it. If a Battle Emperor were to truly erupt, it was likely no one present would survive.

"Based on my deductions, that seems to be the case. Tang Yi, think carefully. Have you provoked anyone you shouldn’t have recently? I think it’s very possible they came here looking for you," the Mu Family Patriarch said, nodding gravely.

’Looking for someone? Seeking revenge? Someone I shouldn’t have provoked?’

Hearing this, Tang Yi connected the keywords and instantly thought of one power: the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps!
