Tianyu Star, Rong Clan
“Good, I'll leave this to you. Take Jie Yan's disciple to the building on the outskirts of the Clan where he settled during the mission. After that, show him where the monster first appeared.” Order the Patriarch of the Rong Clan to one of his guards.
“Good Patriarch. Young man, follow me.” said one of the Patriarch of the Rong Clan's personal bodyguards named Rong Qu.
Jie Yan nodded and slowly stood up. After bidding farewell to the Patriarch of the Rong Clan, he followed Rong Qu out of the Patriarch's residence.
The Patriarch of the Rong Clan simply stared towards Jie Yan's departure with an indifferent gaze.
While another one of the Patriarchal bodyguards of the Rong Clan stared a little coldly towards Jie Yan's departure.
Not too long later, Jie Yan was first brought to a simple residence, a temporary residence provided by the Rong Clan, the place was right near the forest, a small village consisting of dozens of simple houses.
After finding out where he stayed for some time, Jie Yan followed Rong Qu to where the monster mentioned by the Patriarch of the Rong Clan had first appeared.
“In this place is the first time the monster appeared.” Rong Qu pointed towards the trees that were heavily destroyed due to the short fight.
Jie Yan simply stared at the place closely, trying to look for clues.
“Master Rong Qu, how many cultivators and how many ordinary people disappeared during this month over?” Jie Yan asked as he continued to stare towards the scene.
“For the core members of the Rong Clan, there are nine intermediate stage Immortal Ruler level cultivators, more than ten early stage Immortal Ruler level cultivators. For ordinary people, the number that disappeared reached hundreds.” replied Rong Qu.
“Is this the only place the battle took place? And who first disappeared?” Asked Jie Yan.
“Yes, only this place has ever had a battle. And the first to disappear was the Son of the Patriarch.” replied Rong Qu with a slightly grim face.
“Does Patriarch have other children?” Asked Jie Yan.
“Yes, the cultivator who was in the room earlier with the Patriarch was the Patriarch's eldest Son, and he was the next Patriarch's candidate. What disappeared was the Patriarch's Second Son. Moreover, the current Patriarchal Princess was heavily guarded because according to the calculations of all the Clan Elders, the monster was eyeing the Patriarch Clan's bloodline Rong.” Rong Qu answered patiently, explaining everything even though he felt that it would be of no use at all.
“Thank you for the information. I will look for monsters that attack the Rong.” Clan Jie Yan said.
Rong Qu gave a small nod and instantly disappeared instantly leaving Jie Yan in the forest.
“Jie Yan, the son of the previous Patriarch stared at you with a hint of hatred and dislike. Do you think the monster is related to him?” Xia Yue'er who had been an observer all this time, immediately asked.
Jie Yan stared towards Xia Yue'er with a blank look as he did not expect that Xia Yue'er would think that way. It must be said that it was amazing. But he only looked at her for a moment because he knew that Xia Yue'er would go berserk if he knew what she was thinking.
“Yes, maybe it has something to do with it. But I have guessed who exactly the monster is.” Jie Yan said with a smile on his face.
“Who?” Xia Yue'er asked curiously.
Jie Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the place of the fight. It must be said that the place of the fight was indeed a one-sided emphasis.
Aside from that, the place that was destroyed according to Jie Yan used a unique technique, but he felt a little familiar with the broken power that the technique carried out in the place where the battle took place.
Jie Yan did not answer Xia Yue'er's question and he jumped towards the very tall tree top and noticed the situation all over the place.
“It was said that this forest was deliberately left there to breed spirit beasts so that the members of the Rong Clan had the tools to practice. The area of this forest is quite wide, and the aura that exists in this forest..” Jie Yan was increasingly convinced that his guess might be correct.
After assessing all the places, Jie Yan immediately jumped down and went to the residence reserved for him. What he had to do right now was to break through his cultivation reaching the peak Eternal Soul stage level.

One day after Jie Yan came to the Rong Clan
Somewhere in the Rong Clan, a blurry figure moved at high speed between the houses. The figure was nearly five meters tall, with a black robe covering his entire body.
As the figure moved, one of the guards in the Rong Clan happened to pass by and looked towards the figure that was moving like a shadow.
“Who..-” Before the guards in the Rong Clan who had a peak stage Immortal Soul cultivation level finished his words, a sharp finger pierced through his chest which made the members of the Rong Clan petrified on the spot. He stared in shock at the figure but immediately closed his eyes as it lost its life force.
Only the clothes and rings of the guard room were left. The figure also burned the clothes to ashes and took the space ring and immediately moved back.
“She's there!” Some of the other guards who had higher strength shouted out loudly which made the figure instantly move faster.
The other guards instantly gave out a signal that made all the members of the Rong Clan wary as the monster reappeared hunting down the members of the Rong Clan.
Jie Yan who was near the Rong Clan, exactly where he lived, heard the voice. He opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction.
“Secret Art, Space Breaker Teleportation Hole!”
Zhep!
Jie Yan disappeared instantly and he moved towards the direction the Rong Clan was located in.
At night, the atmosphere looked tense. All the guards of the Rong Clan appeared all over the place looking for the whereabouts of the figure.
Jie Yan who had appeared on one of the roofs of the Rong Clan building, stared with his God Eyes all over the place.
Crash it!
Due to Jie Yan's sharp senses, he could hear faint sounds and the smell of blood in a certain place and he immediately looked in that direction.
“There!” Inner Jie Yan and he instantly disappeared back, and that place was where the residence of the Patriarch of the Rong Clan was.
When it moved, Jie Yan happened to see Rong Qu and directly approached him, “Master Rong Qu, the monster moved in the Patriarch residence!”
Rong Qu who was aware of Jie Yan's arrival, nodded grimly and directly ordered many guards to move towards the Patriarch of the Rong Clan's residence.
“Murid Sect Jie Yan, the direction that you said it was the direction where the Patriarch's little daughter was!” said Rong Qu with a grim face.
Jie Yan's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He only nodded slightly and was increasingly convinced by his speculation.
As all of them approached with Jie Yan, there were many clothes scattered here and there, all of them were the clothes of the Rong Clan members who were guarding the residence of the Patriarch Princess of the Rong Clan.
“Kyaaa..!”
The voice of the cry of the little girl was heard which made all the members of the Rong Clan know that the one being targeted this time was the Patriarchal Princess of the Rong Clan.
“Secret Art, Space Breaker Teleportation Hole!”
Zhep!
Jie Yan disappeared instantly because with the King's Eyes, he had locked the place where the monster was. When he appeared, he saw that the black-robed figure was about to catch a 5-year-old little girl.
“Secret Art, Teleportation Speed Slash!”
Without delaying at all, Jie Yan instantly swung the sword that appeared in his right hand at high speed.
The sraing!
Jrezh!
The figure was split apart but Jie Yan's eyes were a little grim because it was only a robe that he split. He looked all over the place but found nothing.
“Young noona!” Rong Qu who went inside, saw that the crying Patriarch Princess of the Rong Clan had survived the disaster. He also stared towards the robe that was split by Jie Yan.
“He escaped..” Jie Yan said as he kept his sword and stared at the little girl now carried by Rong Qu.
“Murid Sect Jie Yan, thank you for saving young miss.” said Rong Qu. His face looked extremely sad at this moment as all the guards in that place had disappeared.
Jie Yan only gave a small nod and his mind was currently racing. He felt that there was something strange, why did the Patriarch Princess stay in a separate place with the Patriarch even though it was still in the residence of the Patriarch of the Rong Clan.
