Short, pritine white hair that ignified hi tatu a a member of the Xue Clan, eye like hining golden orb that looked down on everything in contempt, and a body like a teel mountain. Everything about the man' appearance practically creamed the word "impoing."

Coupled with the maive aura that wa being releaed from hi body, Xue Yebai truly gave a firt impreion that dominated one' mind.

"Who i it?" Hi voice came out jut a cold a the air around him, ending hiver down the pine of all who heard it. Even if their bodie wanted to drip cold weat, it wa impoible, a that weat would freeze the econd it wa formed.

"Who i it that dare to provoke my Xue Clan?"

Hi piercing golden eye canned the cene in front of him. The corpe of the 12 Elder who were pillar of the Xue Clan until thi day were the firt thing that entered hi viion.

And after them were the face of thoe who killed them.

But Xue Yebai' eye remained paive. He didn't how a hint of rage or orrow at the death of hi clan member. In fact, the only emotion in hi eye wa a trace of didain.

"Jut you? Ha our clan fallen to the point where even ant have become brave enough to challenge u?"

Xue Yebai completely ignored Damien' 4th cla ubordinate. Hi eye were trained on the body of Ruyue in Damien' arm.

"After all the year I pent raiing you, thi i how you chooe to repay me. What a pathetic daughter."

Ruyue' body hivered uncontrollably. Seeing Xue Yebai' face again after o many year, he wa overwhelmed by the lingering emotion he thought he had buried.

Sadne, anger, hatred, vengeance…the thought in her heart were colored in a ghatly black. Yet, Xue Yebai' preence alone wa enough to caue her to freeze.

It wan't a matter of power. She had alway been aware that Xue Yebai had reached a level he couldn't even ee with her current trength. Rather, it wa about hi identity in general.

Ruyue' mind wa in chao. She wanted to face him, he wanted to tand up and look at him in didain like the frog he wa, but he wan't able to even move her finger under hi gaze.

She thought he overcame her trauma in the Trial of Self, but it eemed that her trauma ran far deeper than he thought it did. Perhap, thi car in her heart wouldn't vanih until Xue Yebai wa dead in front of her.

Damien' eye hardened a he aw Ruyue' mental tate. The fury he had been containing until thi moment threatened to burt forth once again. And for omeone like Xue Yebai, he didn't have any intention of keeping aid fury hidden.

Damien' gaze wa equally indifferent a he matched Xue Yebai'. "Hmm, I alway imagined you a a pathetic dog with nothing to how for himelf. It eem my mental image wa on point."

Xue Yebai' eye turned to Damien. "You are the one who led my daughter on thi futile path? I have yet to decide whether to praie your courage or mock your foolihne."

"It' funny to me that you till have the nerve to call her your daughter after all the bullhit you've pulled. Or i thick kin jut a genetic trait of the Xue Clan? I haven't decided whether you hould die here today or if I hould have you tortured endlely for your in."

"Sin? A mere child like you dare to label my action a in? In thi world, power i everything. And becaue I have power, I have no in."

Tracele mana coagulated in Xue Yebai' gaze and hot toward Damien at immeaurable peed. A for Damien, he wan't even aware that a deadly threat wa currently approaching him.

"Then that mean, if I kill you right now, it'll be becaue you were weak, right?"

A new voice interrupted their converation. Tian Yang' figure appeared in the air between Damien and Xue Yebai, caually blocking the formle attack that had jut been fired.

Damien uddenly whipped to attention. The tench of death had filled hi ene for a brief intant when Tian Yang appeared in front of him, but it wa already too late for him to block it.

Only after Tian Yang had done it for him did he realize how cloe he wa to dying in that moment.

Damien' gaze hardened. ‘Thi level of power…in't omething I can match up to yet. Even acting cheeky in front of a man like him i courting death.'

Damien gritted hi teeth in frutration. No matter how fat he grew, there would alway be omeone with the power to kill him with a ingle look. Even if he didn't run into thee people often, he engraved thi fact into hi bone o that he would never forget it.

Tian Yang looked at Damien with a mile. ‘Thi kid ha grown far more than I epected him to in thi hort amount of time. Then, a hi mater, houldn't I give him a mall preent?'

He turned hi attention back to Xue Yebai. "Xue Yebai, are you aware of the crime you have committed?"

Xue Yebai glared at Tian Yang. For the firt time ince hi appearance, he howed true emotion.

Hatred.

If it wan't for Tian Yang' timely appearance, would Ruyue' fate have been ubverted a it wa? If it wan't for him, would Xue Yebai' plan for hi firt daughter have been o thoroughly ruined?

From the tart, Xue Yebai had alway been looking for an opportunity to kill Tian Yang. But that opportunity never came. The backing of the Celetial Star Palace wan't omething hi Xue Clan could handle alone, and Tian Yang had never been one to how off hi power.

With o many unknown variable, Xue Yebai wa forced to take a tep back and let hi hatred feter and grow.

Until today.

Today, Tian Yang tood in front of him alone. And with the current tate of the Xue Clan, it would only be able to rie again if Tian Yang wa defeated by hi hand.

‘Detroying the clan and rebuilding it from it root ha alway been the final goal. Since my preciou little treaure ha taken care of the dimantling for me, I only have to prove our trength and tart rebuilding. Ah, wouldn't he feel honored to be my Queen when that time come?'

Xue Yebai miled at hi thought and finally decided to reply to Tian Yang' word. "Sin? What in have I committed for the honorable Grand Elder of the Celetial Star Palace to peronally come for me?"

Tian Yang' brown twitched. Even if he wan't one to fall for uch cheap provocation, hearing omeone a diguting a Xue Yebai mocking him till felt unpleaant.

But that wa beide the point. Tian Yang' aura lowly billowed out like a formle fog, hi word becoming colder and colder a he poke.

"Xue Yebai, for the in of colluding with traitor to caue the fall of our gloriou Plane, the punihment…i death!"

Tian Yang' aura uddenly urged into a maive tide, clahing with and dipering the domineering aura that Xue Yebai had been flaunting all thi time.

Hearing hi death declaration, though, Xue Yebai' lip curved into a cold mile.

"Good. Since you have found a reaon to act againt me, any more talk i unneceary. Come, allow me to how you the true power of the Xue Clan."
