Realizer of Death : The Reaper

"Get rid of him? Do you mean to kill him?" Wang Minghao wasn't surprised when he heard the suggestion from his son as it wasn't his first time planning something like that.

"Yes, father. We need to kill him, and the problem is solved. Didn't you say that uncle Haotian only has one disciple? If he disappears, there is no replacement, and the quota will be returned to you." Wang Jun smiled slyly.

"But it won't be easy to kill him here. If the patriarch finds out, our position in the Wang family will be jeopardized, and our plans might be exposed." Wang Minghao said seriously.

"You don't need to worry, father. We can get rid of him outside this residence. Did you forget that tonight the younger generation of the Wang family will be holding a banquet before tomorrow's martial arts competition? Of course, the outside participants had to come to the event to introduce themselves. We can ask Xiqing to invite him to join the banquet.

On the way home from the event, we can finish him without anyone knowing. To prevent people in the Wang family from becoming suspicious, we can spread rumors that the boy was afraid to participate in the martial arts competition and ran away." Wang Jun explained his plan.

The person Wang Jun was referring to in his explanation was Wang Xiqing. He was his son and one of the geniuses of the Wang family who participated in the martial arts competition.

"I think it won't be easy because Wang Ruyue will always be with him. We can't kill her because she is essential to us." Wang Minghao shook his head because he thought the plan would be challenging to carry out as long as Wang Ruyue was with Tenku. He wanted to get rid of Tenku cleanly and quickly without anyone knowing. That way, he could prevent the patriarch and the other elders from being alerted by the incident.

"That's an easy problem. I'll ask Xiqing to keep Wang Ruyue busy and force the boy to return to the Wang family residence alone. At that time, we can kill him." Wang Jun added another explanation to his plan.

"Yes. He will be alone without anyone's escort, and we can finish him halfway. But who can we send to do the job? I can't arbitrarily order the people in the Wang family over this. Patriarch will investigate if he finds out about it, and we will be in a dangerous situation." Wang Minghao said in a low voice.

Even though he was an elder in the Wang family, he couldn't rule over the members of the Wang family without the permission of the patriarch. If he did this secretly and were found out, he would be stripped of his position as an elder, and he didn't want that to happen.

"We can hire assassins or ask them for help." Wang Jun grinned.

"Ask for their help? Yes, it is true. We don't have to get our hands dirty to carry out the plan. After all, what we do is for them, and they will help us. But I don't know how strong that boy is. How many assassins should we send to kill him?" Wang Minghao looked at his son and asked his opinion.

"After I heard your story about that boy, I thought uncle Haotian was deliberately hiding his strength. If uncle Haotian said his cultivation base was sufficient to participate in martial arts competitions, the boy was at least in the Earth Origin realm. More than that was impossible since he didn't have a good cultivation environment and abundant resources.

None of the young geniuses from the martial families in Beijing had reached the Sky Origin realm at the age of fifteen even though they had started training at the age of three. There's no way uncle's disciples could be stronger than those geniuses. So we must ask them to dispatch two initial stages of the Sky Origin realm practitioners to ensure this plan goes smoothly." Wang Jun concluded his father's story and gave his advice. Although his cultivation realm was not high, he was clever and cunning.

"Alright. You can tell them now and carry out our plans tonight." Wang Minghao was satisfied with his son's observation skills and agreed with his words.

"I understand, father." Wang Jun immediately left the room. After the door closed, Wang Minghao sat down on a chair and looked in a specific direction in the Wang family residence.

"I can't lose that quota because that would interfere with our plans. I won't give it to anyone else, especially you. Do you think you can take the quota after you come back? Do not dream. I want you to pay for what you have done today. I can't wait to see your expression after you lose your disciple." Wang Minghao muttered, and his eyes filled with killing intent.

After Tenku entered his room, he quickly sat cross-legged on the bed and intended to consolidate his cultivation base. Tenku closed his eyes and ran the Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture. Apart from that, he also unleashed the ability of the Devouring Scythe. Combining the two allows him to absorb Qi tens of times faster.

The profound Qi from all over the Wang family residence area flowed and gathered in one place. A large amount of Qi swirled and created a vortex in the room with Tenku as the center like a black hole greedily absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

During Tenku's cultivation, the people in the Wang family were confused when they felt the amount of Qi in the air decreasing at a terrifying speed.

The Wang family's younger generations cultivating in their room came out after sensing the anomaly. They couldn't continue their cultivation when the amount of Qi in the place dried up.

"Huh? What happened? Why do I feel that the Qi in this place is becoming so thin?"

"Where did all the Qi in the air go?"

"Is there a problem with the Qi gathering array?"

The people in the Wang family panicked because of that and decided to report it to the elders.

Meanwhile, Wang Haotian privately talked with Wang Hongli after everyone in the hall had left. He had told about Tenku and his reasons for making him a disciple. Of course, Wang Haotian didn't tell everything, especially his current cultivation realm, Phantasmal Object, and terrifying comprehension ability.

"I see. You chose him to be your disciple because he has great determination and talent for cultivation." Wang Hongli nodded after hearing Wang Haotian's explanation. Just as he was about to ask something else, he heard footsteps approaching the place.

"Patriarch! I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something important to report." A middle-aged man entered the hall. He was a member of the Wang family.

"What has happened?" Wang Hongli frowned when he heard that.

"We sensed that the aura in the Wang family residence was drying up. We tried to tell the matter to the elders but couldn't find any of them. So we decided to report it directly to you, patriarch." The middle-aged man explained.

"What!?" Wang Hongli was startled and immediately closed his eyes to sense the Qi in the air. His face sank after noticing that the amount of Qi in the Wang family residence had become thin, far less than outside.

"What exactly happened? Is the Qi gathering array damaged?" Wang Hongli opened his eyes and muttered. Wang Haotian smiled because he could already guess the cause of that anomaly.

"Alright. You can go. We will deal with this matter soon." Wang Haotian said to the middle-aged man.

"Yes, First Elder." The middle-aged man nodded and quickly left the hall. He knew that Wang Haotian was an elder because he had seen him when he was young.

"Do you know the cause?" Wang Hongli asked. He saw no change in Wang Haotian's face when he heard the matter.

"I know nothing about it. But isn't that reasonable? Several core disciples in the Wang family trained using the Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture. So I think the Qi gathering array can't keep up with the consumption of Qi they need." Wang Haotian replied calmly.

Not everyone in the Wang family is allowed to practice the Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture. Only genius core disciples are allowed to learn it.

"But this incident is unprecedented." Wang Hongli didn't believe Wang Haotian's words.

"I will check it and fix it soon." Wang Haotian smiled slightly and quickly left the hall. That attitude of his made Wang Hongli suspicious.

After leaving the hall, Wang Haotian manifested his Phantasmal Object and saw a stream of Qi gathering somewhere, and he was sure that it was Tenku's room.

Wang Haotian stood in front of Tenku's room but didn't knock on the door because doing so would interfere with his cultivation. Not long after, the flow of Qi stopped, and Wang Haotian knew that Tenku must have noticed his presence. The door opened, and Tenku came out of the room.

"What happened, master?" Tenku asked.

Tenku was confused by the reason Wang Haotian had come to him. Though he asked Wang Ruyue to take Tenku to the room to rest, he appeared and disturbed him.

"Let's talk inside." Wang Haotian entered the room without permission from Tenku.

"Yes." Tenku nodded and immediately closed the door.

"You brat, you just arrived at the Wang family, but you already made a mess.." Wang Haotian sighed and sat on the chair in the room.

"Make a mess? I did nothing and only cultivated in this room. So how can I do that?" Tenku looked at Wang Haotian in confusion.

"You didn't do it directly. But when cultivating, you sucked dry the Qi in this residence and caused the Wang family to panic." Wang Haotian smiled bitterly.

He knew what Tenku was doing when cultivating because he was the one who had suggested to him to combine the Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture with the Devouring Scythe ability. The two things were perfectly compatible and could accelerate cultivation to a terrifying degree.

"Did something like that happen? I'm sorry, but I don't know." Tenku said apologetically. He didn't know that he had caused the Wang family to panic while cultivating.

"I know you didn't do it on purpose. You've never experienced it because the aura of heaven and earth in Japan is so thin. Besides, there are no other cultivators around you besides me. Because of that, you never get complaints about how terrifying your Qi absorption is." Wang Haotian explained.

"Yeah, you're right." Tenku nodded slightly and answered curtly.

"I didn't come here just to talk about that." Wang Haotian changed the topic of their conversation.

"Is there another problem that happened because of me?" Tenku thought that he had made another mess.

"No. It's about the second elder and also the martial arts competition." Wang Haotian said seriously.
