Mysterious Martial Cultivator - Volume 2 Chapter 14 Planning Revenge
Calming down the raging emotions, he took one more look at him, knowing that the man was a follower of the original entourage of the haughty man. He might be able to fish some information from him. However, he knew he had to be careful as well, for he had waited three and half years, gathering information about that man.
His senior disciple sisters who had gone on missions were especially requested by him to give him some information. Using the adorable cute face, the nave smile along with some smooth talking he was able to gather a lot of information from them.
The boy was the young master of the Han clan, Han Roulan. His father Han Zhaorang was the town governor but that was only because he was sent for some experience before inheriting the Han clan- the largest clan in Moonlight city. The Han clan’s power stretched from business to the official. While on paper, they do business of food products and of clothes, their fangs are stretched across the officialdom with many talents directly coming out of schools operated by Han clansmen. Other businesses also have joint partnersh.i.p.s with the clan, where they invest their resources while the Han clan is responsible for protecting their businesses.
Now Han Roulan lives in Moonlight city enjoying high prestige as the only heir to the clan. His father greatly dotes on him. He is tyrannical with stories of many maidens being ruined by his hands spread among the commoners of the city. The sc.u.m had only gotten worse as his age progressed with his overbearing nature growing by the day as few dare to confront him. His father is not better than him when it comes to forcing ladies to accompany him in bed. One senior sister was especially angry as she was hinted multiple times and even threatened before showing her power and sect identity to thwart the pursuit of the man. She was especially angry at him for almost managing to get her to bed by utilizing medicine. For it not where she had a detoxification pill, she might have really done so.
The Zhang Clan was the second biggest in Moonlight city. The clan leader had a scheming mind but developed the clan at a low key way. He was someone who liked to pretend to be a pig, to eat the tiger. Even though it had the second most authority in the city, there were hardly any complaints regarding the behaviour of their clansman. Even though he sees the atrocious behaviour of the Han Clan he had kept his calm and waiting for an opportunity Li Tian had to admire the man who had faced challenges being the son of a maid of the clan leader but with ingenuity and schemes sit on the throne of clan head. It was better to have a long distance relationship for we never know when he spreads a net catching you off guard whether you are friends or enemies due to his ruthless nature.
As the man finished hunting the magical beast and though about resting. Li Tian approached the man sneakily and struck him down with a blow. He thought whether he should dirty his clothes and speared dust on the face before questioning him. He had not brought any pills or mask that could help him for he never thought he would encounter the man like this. He had the cut some of the skin of the snake scorpion and the monkey as commemoration for the event so he finally decided on blindfolding him before asking indirectly about the city and the clans.
“Hey walk up! I need you to answer some of my questions” Li Tian tried his best to imitate and a.d.u.l.t voice.
“Ha senior please spare me if you want the core you can take it. I don’t have any valuables, my 80 year old mother and 3 year old son is waiting for me at home. Please spare me Senior.” The man talkatively grumble out those words.
“I will spare your life just tell me what is happening in Moonlight city nowadays.” Li Tian asked him again.
Turns out the Lang Clan from Sunset city were soon going to form an alliance with their rivals ‘the Han clan’ through a political marriage. Both of these were the top most clans in their respective cities and their ambitions have grown making the want to clear all other obstacles to reach complete control over their respective cities. Han Roulan would visit Sunset city along with second uncle to look at the face of his fiance as well as give gifts to his soon to be-in-laws.
Li Tian made a bold plan risking it all by provoking all out conflict between the clans. He wanted to search for an assassin who would kill the only heir of the Han clan in the backyard of Sunset city when he visits the brothel. His bodyguards would all be killed except one miraculously surviving to tell the supposed truth, when the assassin tells them who hired him ‘Lang Clan’ before killing them off. He needed to include the Zhang Clan in his plans for he neither had the human resources or capital to pull off such a bold move. He had to return to the sect and discuss his move with the sect master and leaders. He had been waiting for this moment to make the Han Clan suffer not only due to his humiliation but also to the near blasphemy committed by that father son duo to the senior sister in the sect.
Knocking down the man again, he took possession of all his belongings, tearing all of his clothes before leaving him n.a.k.e.d, he continued his return journey to the sect.
The majestic mountains, the icy cold air brought a familiar warmth in his heart, glancing ever so slightly in the forbidden region of the valley he strode to the place of the sect master. Looking at the majestic door he recalled the feelings he experienced that morning. It has been three days back and forth but he had wet his pants every night due to wet dreams. As he knocked on the door and entered the door upon hearing the command. He was filled with nervousness, clearly feeling the way he looked at the sect master slightly change. Perhaps he himself did not know how he felt.
“What are you doing? Report everything you have done in the last three days.” The sect master commanded with no change in facial expressions as she saw him looking at her.
Li Tian clearly explained the events of the three days, finally concluding with the information of that man and included his plans of dealing with the Han clan. The sect master expressions kept changing when he described the fights with the magical beasts for he had fought higher level ones than the mission required.
“Say you have become very capable I see by training for one month with me. I think you should focus on the second punishment cave instead of the first one from now on.” She felt extremely angry for him dealing with matters of his life so casually. She had neither gave him treasures to protect himself or defensive and fleeing techniques wanting him to polish those attacking movies by fighting Class 2 magical Beasts instead he fought two class 3 beasts one of which could have posed challenges to even class 4 beasts. His luck had played a major role for he never knew the orange light would solve the poison.
Li Tian gasped in horror when he thought of the second punishment hall. He franatically pleaded mercy asking the sect master to give him time to change himself. Just a single more chance upon which he was excused.
“Go rest for today. Think about your actions I will deal with you tomorrow.”
His journey to the peak of cultivation world had started with the revenge planning of the Han Clan. If the plan goes through completion, karma will be settled. The Sect master will deal with how his plans will become the Zhang Clan’s Plans. He looked at the blood coloured sun setting down in the icy landscape and felt an invisible pressure disappear from his shoulders as he walked away from the Sect master’s place
