Li Yao in an instant struck the three boys who were mocking him. The three boys tried to fight back with sticks in their hands, but Li Yao broke them and beat them to a pulp.
"Shut up!" li Yao exclaimed with a threatening look
They heeded Li Yao's threat. Their cries did not stop, instead sounding increasingly louder. Li Yao then pulled the collar of the oldest boy and beat his face repeatedly.
"I said D-I-A-M!" threatening Li Yao, successfully made the three brothers stop crying.
"My father never punishes me like this" protested the youngest boy, his speech faltering.
"Now you know, right? How does it feel to be hit? Though you often beat up the servants to a pulp like this," Li Yao replied resentfully.
"But they're just servants" said the youngest boy, seemingly unwilling to lose.
"It looks like you're asking to be hit again!" li Yao said as he clenched his hands.
"Sorry, I swear I'll never beat up a waiter!" The younger boy swore without a second thought.
"Right now answer my question! What year is it now?" Li Yao began his interrogation.
The three boys looked at each other, feeling strange at Li Yao's question. How can anyone not know what year it is? Ignoring the strangeness, the oldest boy immediately replied.
"Year of 100 new calendars."
"What do you mean?" Li Yao did not understand, his battle with Chenyu alone occurred in 2222.
"After the Heavenly Alliance defeated the King of the Death Pit, they established that day as the beginning of a new calendar year," explained the youngest boy, he was confused as to why he should explain the general information that everyone already knew.
"What do you mean?" li Yao repeated as he walked before the youngest boy. Indeed Li Yao understood the explanation of the boys.
If Li Yao's assumptions were correct, the Heavenly Alliance would definitely claim that they were the ones fighting against the Demonic Tribe and saving the world.
It can't be allowed. The Heavenly Road Sect sacrificed many things to save the world, but it was the Heavenly Alliance that enjoyed the sacrifice of the Heavenly Road Sect.
What did ba****n old Heavenly Alliance do when the Demon Tribe attacked? They hide and only move when they see a profit.
Without Li Yao realizing it, an extremely powerful killing intent shot out from within his body. The youngest boy fainted. Li Yao hurriedly calmed himself down then pulled the eve of killing him.
The two boys panicked to see his sister faint, Li Yao trying to calm them down.
"Just calm! Your sister just fainted."
"How is the state of the Heavenly Road Sect?" Li Yao continued his interrogation.
"Secte of the Heavenly Road? I have never heard of a sect called that," replied the oldest boy, the other boy just nodding.
Li Yao's anxiety grew even greater. The question regarding the state of the Sergawi Road Sect was raging in his mind.
"You don't know Li Yao?"
"Isn't Li Yao your name?"
Li Yao sighed then continued asking.
"So where am I now?"
"Stone River Village, near the White Sea Monastery of the Eastern Empire."
Li Yao knew the White Sea Monastery. The White Sea Monastery is the largest monastery in the eastern and world empires. The power of the monastery was equivalent to that of a top-tier sect.
Actually the White Sea Monastery was located not too far away from the Heavenly Road Sect. It took a month from the Monastery to get to the Heavenly Road Sect.
"Hey, now take off all your clothes!" li Yao said to the oldest boy. He finished extracting information from them.
"W-what?" The boy looked confused.
"Hurry up!" li Yao exclaimed in annoyance. He was upset with the information they were given.
Without much questioning, the boy immediately took off all the clothes he was wearing. Li Yao then bathed in the river and put on the clothes. Before long Li Yao directly left that place.
When Li Yao left, the two boys immediately cried. They quickly brought their sister's body and complained about Li Yao's actions to her father.
The boy's father angrily asked a bodyguard to look for Li Yao.
"Find the little waiter! Drag here dead or alive, how can I let that servant insult my son."
"Okay, Milord!" said the bodyguard while smiling wickedly.
***
Two days passed.
Li Yao arrived at the Old Tiger City. The situation of the small town has not changed much. Li Yao used to pass through this small town when going down the mountain or on missions.
Everything seems familiar, although it is clearly different. At the crossroads, Li Yao sat down like a beggar boy. His entire energy was exhausted after traveling for two days.
His clothes were back in tatters, his body dirty from not bathing. Once when passers-by gave Li Yao bread and a piece of copper coin, Li Yao instantly finished the bread in an instant.
Li Yao's mouth was already numb from eating grass and leaves. Amidst his safe passage, Li Yao did not find any fruits or forest beasts to hunt down and eat.
Li Yao chose the grand path to get to the Heavenly Road Sect faster, which was why his journey had proceeded so smoothly. There were no robbers, no ferocious beasts, let alone Li Yao being so rushed that he was unaware of his stomach state.
"Hey, get out of here and leave the begging! This is our area! Have you never heard of Bo Cheng the Beggar Bandit?" threatening a 16-year-old.
The beggar-clothed youth suddenly appeared before Li Yao. Li Yao looked at the young man then smiled.
"What if I don't want to?" challenge Li Yao.
The young man was annoyed, his fist suddenly soared into Li Yao's face. Li Yao was able to dodge the punch easily and then beat the young man unconscious.
When the Young Man came to his senses, Li Yao ordered the young man to bring him to face Bo Cheng. The young man laughed inwardly, he obeyed Li Yao's orders happily.
Inside the simple room, Li Yao was faced with a ruthless man in his thirties. That ruthless-looking man was none other than Bo Cheng.
Shortly after arriving at that place, the young man immediately complained about Li Yao's actions. Of course the young man exaggerated his story while trying to curry favor with Bo Cheng.
"******! Do you underestimate me, how can I believe your story? Do you think I'm stupid?" Bo Cheng mercilessly slapped the young man to the point of being 1 meter away.
The young man fainted again. Li Yao shook his head, he laughed at the young man's stupidity. Seeing Li Yao laugh, Bo Cheng ordered Li Yao to approach him.
"Basic idiot! Why did you hit him?" li Yao said arrogantly, he ignored Bo Cheng's orders.
The man's cultivation level could be seen easily by Li Yao. According to his cultivation level, Bo Cheng was only a very weak third-rate swordsman.
"Nickin' the Market Thugs are a great fit for you!" ridiculed Li Yao with her innocent face.
