Chapter 1 Desperate Hunger

It was the dead of night, and Ye Cang was unbearably hungry.

"My god... I'm starving."

Ye Cang carefully turned over, afraid of waking Luo Xinghe.

Walking outside, Ye Cang awakened Liuli Wumeng and Wuyou.

"Domain Read Mode!"

*Poof!* Light flames covered Ye Cang's entire body.

The pure white, flawless light flames were particularly dazzling under the silent starry sky. With the power bestowed by the Sun God, even the starlight changed, now emitting a dazzling, brilliant golden shimmer.

With a whoosh, Ye Cang flew into the sky, hoping to find some wild game to satisfy his hunger. From above, Ye Cang looked down.

"Huh? Near the deserted graveyard below, there seems to be some strange energy fluctuation." Ye Cang followed the strange energy fluctuation.

Near the abandoned graveyard, a Phantasmal Beast was gnawing on a corpse.

"It's just a D-rank Phantasmal Beast. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I hunted one."

*Feng!*

Ye Cang flicked his finger, and a pure white light flame containing a golden shimmer instantly killed the D-rank Phantasmal Beast.

Suddenly... Luo Xinghe's voice came from behind Ye Cang, "Brother Ye, amazing! You actually killed this Phantasmal Beast!"

"Brother Luo, why are you here?"

"Cough... I wanted to go to the restroom, but when I woke up, I found you were gone. I thought there were many Phantasmal Beasts in this area, and I was afraid you might be in danger. So... I followed a ray of starlight in the sky and found this place. Then I saw you instantly destroy the Phantasmal Beast."

"Brother Luo, a D-rank Phantasmal Beast is nothing. Let's go back quickly."

"Wait a minute, Brother Ye. We have to drag this Phantasmal Beast back to the village so everyone can see it."

As Luo Xinghe was about to drag the Phantasmal Beast away, Ye Cang walked up to it, grabbed its calf, casually swung it over his shoulder, and said calmly, "Let's go, Brother Luo."

"Holy crap!!! Brother Ye, that Phantasmal Beast is so big, and you're carrying it with that small frame of yours."

Ye Cang looked at Luo Xinghe's surprised expression and quickly explained, "Haha, Brother Luo, don't panic. I'm just naturally strong... Hehe, that's right, naturally strong."

When they returned to the village, the villagers were overjoyed. Ye Cang even told everyone that Luo Xinghe was the one who killed the Phantasmal Beast.

"Everyone, it was Brother Luo who killed the Phantasmal Beast."

Luo Xinghe looked at Ye Cang with a confused expression and said softly, "Brother Ye, what are you doing?"

Ye Cang said with a smile, "Brother Luo, don't worry, I've got this."

Two days later, inside the conference hall of the Clan, the leader sitting in the center looked to be around forty years old, with his civil and military subordinates on either side.

The leader in the center said, "The Phantasmal Beast in Huang Family Village seems to have been killed by someone named Luo Xinghe. This may complicate our plan to acquire that piece of land for growing grain. What are your thoughts?"

The leader of the think tank on the left said, "Big Brother, even a D-rank adept wouldn't be able to hunt a D-rank Phantasmal Beast alone. There must be an expert in Huang Family Village."

The third-in-command on the military side said, "Big Brother, I can grab a few villagers with some brothers and ask them."

The leader in the center slowly said with his eyes lowered, "First, grab a few villagers and question them carefully, but don't be in a hurry to release them. Detain them for a while and see what happens."

Then, the leader in the center instructed the think tank, "When the time is right, you release a D-rank Phantasmal Beast and create panic in the village."

Huang Family Village...

Ye Cang was lazily lying in the courtyard, basking in the sun. Luo Xinghe was still chopping firewood on the mountain.

Just then, someone pushed open the door and said breathlessly, "Some of our villagers have been captured by the Ye Clan."

Ye Cang quickly ran to investigate.

He saw more than a dozen people bullying the villagers. Among them were women and young children.

Ye Cang was very angry when he saw this, "You dare to bully children and women, you don't even deserve to be human."

The leader saw that Ye Cang was so ignorant and gave his subordinates a look.

The subordinates understood and rushed towards Ye Cang aggressively.

Ye Cang, who was always cunning, would never talk about martial morality with his opponents.

If you dare to come, I dare to fight! It's impossible to be a coward, and even more impossible to escape.

Before the person could attack, Ye Cang threw a big swing punch, directly blasting off the entire front face of the small fry's head.

The bloody, fleshy face was extremely terrifying. The eyeballs that had lost the front of their face bulged out, then rotated a few times before dying on the spot.

The dozen or so thugs were horrified and retreated.

The leader pointed at Ye Cang and shouted, "Kill him!"

The dozen or so people looked at each other, none of them willing to take the lead.

The leader roared, "Kill him! Who do you think you're working for!"

The dozen or so people were shouted at and immediately swarmed towards Ye Cang.

Seeing this, Ye Cang launched a 360-degree spinning kick, sweeping across the area.

Then, Ye Cang slowly walked up to the leader. "Brother... don't tremble. I'll be gentle, it'll be over soon, it won't hurt, be good..."

Just as Ye Cang raised his arm, the leader suddenly collapsed to the ground, and the ground was soaked with a patch of yellow-orange unknown liquid.

Seeing this, Ye Cang stopped attacking. "From now on, don't let me see you again. Otherwise... I'll kill you!"
