Chapter 288 - Liye's Revenge in the Zhan Clan

288 Liye’s Revenge in the Zhan Clan

Liye looked towards Krienek and the other survivors of the Kurk Clan before speaking.

“I still have to attend some important matters; the Kurk Clan shall remain isolated until new orders.”

No one replied to Liye because they were still unable to move, but no one dared to have any objection to Liye’s words.

Liye disappeared from the Kurk Clan and reappeared in the Zhan Clan.

“I would have liked to let Yale deal with this clan given the conflict he had with it, but the time is over.”

Giving a last look towards the Zhan Clan, Liye shouted four words.

“True Zhan Clan, die!”

Everyone in the Zhan Clan heard those words, there were only four words, but those words carried a great might that attacked the souls of those that had a soul mark implanted by the True Empire.

In a second, thousands of people had their souls dissipated, and Liye recollected their bloodlines.

“That girl is Yale’s cousin, and both had quite a good relationship. She even battled against the True Kurk Clan; I shall give her a small gift.”

Liye remembered about Serka and improved her bloodline until it reached perfection.

Liye was pondering about who was worthy of having a bloodline improved in the Zhan Clan when someone interrupted him.

“Who are you? I don’t know how my Zhan Clan offended you, but you have killed thousands of people without any notice, and that isn’t polite.”

The man who appeared in front of Liye seemed to be in his fifties but given that was at the 9-star Sage Rank, it was clear that he was older than that.

Usually, after someone killed thousands of people, just saying that wasn’t polite was being extremely tolerant with the killer. However, tolerance aside, Liye showed that he wasn’t someone easy to deal, so it was better not to anger him without a good reason and for that man the death of the members of the True Zhan Clan wasn’t a good reason to offend Liye.

“Are you the current leader of the Zhan Clan?”

Liye’s face didn’t change when asking.

“Indeed. I am the grandson of the clan founder and the legitimate clan head of the Zhan Clan. However, you didn’t reply my question.”

The clan head of the Zhan Clan was scared to death by Liye’s display of prowess, but he had lived an extremely long life and couldn’t be compared with someone like Krienek despite being at the same level. Thus, he could speak without problems in his presence.

“I am your grandfather.”

Liye’s words angered the clan head, but at that moment, he felt like if his bloodline was boiling producing a lot of pain to him.

“Do you mean that legendary expert that disappeared when my mother was just a kid.”

After sensing how the Time Bloodline acted and the fact that Liye called himself the clan head’s grandfather, the clan head was able to deduce his true identity.

“Indeed.”

The clan head was flying in the sky, but that didn’t stop him from kneeling after discovering Liye’s identity.

“I pay respects to grandfather.”

The clan head didn’t feel anything for his ancestors, but Liye’s might was enough to force him at least to act as if he cared about his ancestry.

“Do you really dare to call yourself my grandson? You killed your aunt, who was my first daughter and later on, you killed your own mother, who was my second daughter. Does someone like you really care about family?”

Fear invaded the clan head’s body because those two murders were his biggest secrets and he was sure that the Imperial Family would kill him if that were uncovered.

“I don’t understand grandfather’s words.”

The clan head decided to bet his all to the chance that Liye was only testing him because he didn’t have any proof of those two murders.

“Unfortunately for you, I already scanned all your memories, and I know very well what you did in the past, and your current intentions. You didn’t join the True Zhan Clan yet, but you were already tempted, and you even had the position of clan head of the True Zhan Clan offered to you. If it weren’t because you weren’t sure about the success of the True Empire’s plan, you would have already accepted to join them. You are the type of person who longed for power, but not true power obtained from practicing, you long for the power thanks to the status, and you want to control everyone to turn them your toys. You may not be a member of the True Empire, but you aren’t that different.”

Liye truly despised the personality of clan head of the Zhan Clan.

“Do you think that you can kill my daughters and avoid punishment? That is impossible; you were doomed since the day you dared to put your hands on them.”

Although the clan head of the Zhan Clan wasn’t a member of the True Zhan Clan, Liye didn’t plan to spare his life. In fact, int he original plan, Liye would have punished him after dealing with the True Empire, but due to Yale dying earlier than expected, Liye decided to kill that bastard right away.

“I don’t mind that you are my grandfather; if you have just left after killing the members of True Zhan Clan, I wouldn’t have cared, but if you want to kill me, I will battle. I am just a step away to becoming a Law Master, don’t underestimate me! I can make a breakthrough at any moment!”

The clan head thought that his words were threatening enough for Liye to let the matter go. After all, the dead wouldn’t resurrect even if Liye killed him and he doubted that Liye would risk his life battling against him just for that.

Of course, the clan head didn’t know that Liye wasn’t a Law Master but a Law God. Although in the Time Law, he had yet to become a Law God, he had reached it in another three laws. Moreover, his Time Law wasn’t far from a breakthrough when he died, so even if the clan head advanced to Law Master in that same moment, Liye didn’t fear him and would kill him using only the Time Law without having any problem.

“You are just a coward who doesn’t dare to breakthrough for fear of losing the control of the Time Law. Fearing the powers of time isn’t a bad thing, the time is lethal for you after all. However, you fear it so much that you can’t even train it well. The fear for time should have made you respect it and use it carefully, but your fear just turned you into a coward. With that mindset, if you try to make a breakthrough right now, you will die.”

The Time Law was extremely dangerous to practice because making a failure could make the one who practiced it to die from old age immediately in the worst cases or lost some decades of training in the best ones.

Thus, usually, those who chose to practice the Time Law did it after having become a Law Master in another Law because at least even if they aged ten thousand years in a second due to a failure, they couldn’t die from old age. The bodies of those who had become a Law Master wouldn’t show any signs of aging regardless of how many years passed.

At most, they would feel extremely tired for a period of time due to the sudden failure, but that was within the range of thing one could endure due to having failed when training a Law.

“I know that you don’t dare to breakthrough for fear to failure, but I can give you a similar fate.”

In Liye’s lineage, the first child was extremely important, and the killing attempt to Liye’s first daughter by the current clan head was a crime comparable to the one the great elder of the Kurk Clan did when he pierced Yale’s heart.

Before the clan head had time to reply, he had turned into a kid, and all his practice had disappeared from his body. However, he didn’t recover his lifespan.

“My power, how can this happen?”

The clan head couldn’t believe that he had turned into a powerless kid in an instant. Moreover, he could feel that he couldn’t even train to reach the 1-star Mortal Rank meaning that his body age was lower than ten.

Reversing the age of someone like Liye just had done wasn’t something easy even with Liye’s control, but the clan head had the Time Bloodline in his body, which was the main cause for Liye being able to transform the clan head in an instant.

“However, you made a mistake, now I am protected by the World Laws, and you can’t touch me.”

The clan head knew that he had no hopes to continue being the clan head in his current situation, but he at least hoped to save his own life.

“Do you know why are you still flying despite having lost all your power? That is because I am helping you to remain in the midst of the air. If I haven’t helped you, you would have died from the fall, and it wouldn’t have been my fault.”

The clan head noticed at that moment about that; he was used to flying freely, so he hadn’t thought about the fact that with the loss of his power, he couldn’t fly anymore.

“World Laws, stop protecting him.”

With a shout, the world laws that were protecting the clan head’s body disappeared.

“I am the son of the creator of this world and the word laws protecting those under ten were created to help me when I was little. I can make them disappear easily, using the world laws as protection might scare anyone else, but in front of me, this is nothing.”

Liye started to spank the clan head’s butt as if he was punishing a naughty child; that was the greatest humiliation the clan head had suffered in his life.

“I am already tired from spanking you, just go to the Purgatory World to make company to the leader of the True Kurk Clan.”

Liye had never punished any of his children or disciples in that way, but he learned when traveling across worlds that was something quite normal, but he didn’t feel that it would be more effective than sending him to the Purgatory World.

Liye tossed the clan head towards the dimensional crack that had appeared and was absorbed completely. Although the body also entered the dimensional crack, it was completely destroyed once inside because that dimensional crack didn’t allow physical beings.
