Realizer of Death : The Reaper

"So, what have you planned with the Gu family?" Tenku looked straight into Wang Jun's eyes and asked. He spoke while pressing the tip of his scythe against Wang Jun's remaining hand. If Tenku found out his answer was a lie, he would have thrust his weapon, and Wang Jun would suffer that terrible pain again.

Wang Jun trembled when he saw Tenku's cold eyes and felt the scythe pressing against his skin. His face was pale, and sweat was flowing profusely from his forehead. Wang Jun didn't want that weapon to stab him again because his pain hit the soul directly. He would rather die than be tortured using the Devourer Scythe.

"We and the Gu family..." Wang Jun wanted to tell Tenku, but Wang Minghao's voice stopped him.

"Stop it, Jun'er! You can't tell him about it. We'd rather die and take that secret to the grave than tell it to him! Don't let him and the Wang family know about our plans!" Wang Minghao shouted angrily. He might have slapped his son unconscious if he could move his body.

"I'm sorry, father. But I have to tell him. You have no idea how terrible the pain I felt from that scythe was. If you feel it too, then you will surely do the same as me." Wang Jun said with a frightened face.

"Did you hear what your son said? If you keep talking, then I'll rip your mouth off. So be quiet for a bit!" Tenku said and punched Wang Minghao in the face until he lost consciousness. After that, he turned his attention to Wang Jun again.

"Now he won't bother us anymore. So you can continue your story." Tenku asked Wang Jun to continue his answer, but it sounded like an order to him.

"I understand. My father and I plan to take down the Wang family tonight with the help of the Gu family..." Wang Jun started to talk about their plan. Tenku listened seriously because he didn't want to miss even the slightest detail of his explanation.

After losing in the martial arts competition, Gu Tianba was enraged that his plan had failed. Moreover, he had to break the marriage agreement with the Wang family in person during the victory ceremony. It caused him to lose face in front of the city lord, the other major families, and the cultivators present.

Then Gu Tianba secretly gathered the Gu family's disciples after the victory ceremony. Of course, Wang Minghao, Wang Jun, and Wang Xiqing were also called by him. Gu Tianba wanted to discuss their backup plan after the first plan failed.

But in the middle of the talk, someone reported something to him. He is a member of the Gu family whose job is to monitor Tenku's movements. After they discovered that Tenku had gone with Huang Yuxin to return to the Huang family's mansion, Gu Tianba started plotting his assassination. He hated Tenku because that boy had thwarted his plans.

Gu Yuxuan volunteered to join the assassination plot to avenge his grandson. Gu Tianba agreed and summoned fifty top disciples from the Gu family residence to assist Gu Yuxuan and ensure the assassination succeeded. To further convince him, he asked Wang Minghao and the other two people to accompany them. But before they leave, they get another report.

A disciple from the Gu family reported that Wang Ruyue followed Tenku to the Huang family's mansion. When he knew about it, Gu Tianba quickly rearranged his plans. He asked them to catch Wang Ruyue after killing Tenku and use the girl for their next plan.

That plan was to bring down the Wang family. They intended to launch external and internal attacks. Gu Tianba would lead the people from the Gu family to attack the Wang family at midnight, and Wang Minghao acted from the inside by poisoning them.

Gu Tianba knew that the elders of the Wang family were strong and not to be underestimated, especially Wang Haotian. Thus, he intended to use Wang Ruyue as a hostage to render her grandfather powerless. That way, their plan would go even more smoothly.

After they defeated Wang Hongli and completely took over the Wang family, Wang Minghao would become the new patriarch, and Gu Tianba would receive the original four Sovereign Cultivation Set books as per their agreement.

"That is our plan with the Gu family." Wang Jun ended his explanation.

"I didn't expect Gu Tianba to still have such a plan after losing in the martial arts competition. Besides you and your father, who else in the Wang family colluded with the Gu family?" Tenku said in a cold voice. It made Wang Jun shiver because he could feel a thick killing intent from his words.

If anyone other than them colluded with the Gu family, Tenku would report the matter to Wang Haotian and let him handle it himself.

"As far as I know, we are the only people in the Wang family who colluded with the Gu family." Wang Jun replied fearfully.

"I understand. Then Why was Gu Tianba so obsessed with the original four books of the Sovereign Cultivation Set? Is there anything special about that practices?" Tenku asked curiously.

"I don't know much about it either. But according to Gu Tianba, he would gain extraordinary strength after cultivating the four books simultaneously. It was the Gu family's ultimate goal to take over the Wang family. But I don't know if his words are true or not. The four practices were extremely mysterious, and no one from the Wang family could learn all four at once." Wang Jun replied and smiled bitterly. Although he was smart, he didn't have a great cultivation talent and could only learn one of the four Wang family practices.

"Oh, I see. This is my last question. From your explanation, the Sovereign Cultivation Set has four books. Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture, Tyrant King Body Tempering Art, and Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique. Then what's the last one?" Tenku hoped that Wang Jun knew about it.

"That's... My father and I didn't know about it. But according to him, the fourth practice was hidden by the ancestor of the Wang family because it was too difficult and dangerous to learn, far more dangerous than the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. Because of that, only the patriarch can know about it and see the original four books of the Sovereign Cultivation Set." Wang Jun explained.

"Hmm..." Tenku nodded and was silent for a long time after hearing his words.

On the other hand, Wang Jun became agitated when he saw that Tenku didn't speak a word. But after waiting a long time, Tenku still said nothing to him. This made Wang Jun even more afraid. Because of that, he worked up the courage to speak to Tenku.

"I've told you everything I know. After I returned to the Wang family, I promised to cut off our cooperation with the Gu family and tell Wang Hongli about their schemes. Then me and my father...." Wang Jun wanted to beg him to spare their lives, but before he could finish his words, Tenku interrupted him.

"Kill them." Tenku said indifferently. His words were an order for the centipede.

"Wait a minute! I've already told you everything, so why...." Wang Jun couldn't continue his sentence because their body had been chopped into mincemeat.

"I never promised to let you go after you answered my question." Tenku shrugged his shoulders and used his scythe to swallow the pieces of their corpses until nothing remained. After that, he deactivated the array and canceled the manifestation of his Phantasmal Object. Then the centipede also disappeared.

"Now is the time to return to the Wang family's mansion." Tenku looked at his surroundings and quickly left the place.

After Tenku returned to the Wang family's mansion, he immediately went to his room and intended to increase the Golden Revolver phase with her remaining energy source. He sat cross-legged on the bed and transferred the genesis power from the Scythe Devourer to the Golden Revolver.

Tenku only needed five minutes to transfer his remaining genesis power to the second Phantasmal Object. Unfortunately, he couldn't raise the Golden Revolver to the moon phase.

"Haa..." Tenku sighed. He was disappointed that he couldn't phase up the Golden Revolver.

Tenku didn't expect to need more Qi than the average practitioner to enter the Great Perfection of the Sky Origin realm. He had swallowed the Qi accumulation pill, but it was not enough, and he still needed a lot of genesis power conversion to break through. It gave him a headache when he thought about how much Qi was needed to enter the next realm.

If only Tenku could kill more monsters during the space collapse in Badaling National Forest Park, he would be able to raise the Golden Revolver phase. But then he shook his head to dispel the thought. Tenku should be grateful for having gotten quite a harvest in Beijing rather than disappointed.

"Haa..." Tenku took a deep breath to calm his mind. He wanted to rest to recover from his condition. But Tenku heard a knock before he could lie down on the bed.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Tenku? Have you slept?" Wang Ruyue's voice sounded from outside.

"I have not slept. Is there something important you want to talk to me about?" Tenku got up from his bed and opened the door for Wang Ruyue.

After he opened the door, Tenku raised her eyebrows when he found Wang Ruyue standing at the door wearing her nightgown. Even though it doesn't look sexy, the thin material allows Tenku to see her beautiful body, especially under the moonlight.

"May I come in? I want to discuss something with you." Wang Ruyue said with a blush. She could only lower her head and dared not make eye contact with Tenku. Wang Ruyue knew she shouldn't visit a man's room at night. But she had to because it was Tenku's last night at the Wang family's mansion.

"Of course. come in." Tenku quickly allowed Wang Ruyue to come in, as he didn't want her to be seen by others. It would create a bad image for that girl in the Wang family. After Wang Ruyue entered the room, Tenku quickly closed the door.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about at this hour? You shouldn't linger here because other people might misunderstand if they see you coming out of a man's room at night." Tenku said without looking at Wang Ruyue. But then he felt strange that he didn't get a response from her and the girl's footsteps stopped.

"Tenku." Wang Ruyue called softly.

Tenku turned around and saw Wang Ruyue looking at him.

"I have something to say to you after the martial arts competition ends. But it was delayed because of space collapse. I have to do it now for fear I won't have another chance to tell you." Wang Ruyue said, and tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Thank you for winning the martial arts competition and releasing me from that marriage agreement. You have worked miracles and changed my destiny. But that's not all you did for me. You have protected me twice and got injured. I know that just saying thank you won't be enough to return the favor to you. Therefore, I will do anything for you without exception. I'll give you whatever you want!" Wang Ruyue said with determination.
