Ace Of Terrans

Yang Xiaoling led the team and they all came outside the village. The grave was full, and many people were sorting the corpses aside. Shi Lang frowned behind the mask, Yang Xiaoling said, “We offered the villagers to help but they refused.”

Shi Lang stepped forward and spoke to an elder on the side, “Old Sir, where is the village chief?”

The old man looked at him with eyes filled with tears as he spoke in a shaky tone, “I am the village chief, exalted one.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Village Chief, I am not worthy of your respect. Your village lies within our borders and it is our responsibility to protect and help you should the need arise. Not only did we fail to protect you, we also failed to react quickly. I apologize to you on behalf of the two halls.”

Shi Lang said this and he bowed his head before the old man. The people of the Yang Family were surprised, they all came from a big family and usually they would express their grief but bowing their head to a common mortal, that was not usual in this world of power.

The village chief was shocked, and he hastily said, “Senior, please raise your head. We know that the halls have difficulty covering such large expenses and they have never wronged us. We do not blame you.”

Shi Lang raised his head and said, “Village Chief, please allow me to help these people and investigate the reason behind this mishap. I promise you, that I will bring you the heads of the ones who did this.”

The village chief thought for a bit and nodded, as he said, “Please give me a few minutes, I will need to consult my fellows.”

Shi Lang nodded and came back to stand beside Yang Xiaoling. The young man from before asked, “Can you tell me why did you bow to a common mortal?”

Shi Lang replied in a calm voice, “Once upon a time, I was also a mortal. So were all the cultivators. We did not born with the heavenly might to change the world on whim. Your Yang Family for example. One senior made the effort that changed your destiny. Same goes with almost all the cultivators in this world.

The roots of immortality lies in mortality. If you do not know what you are, you will never ben able to figure out what you want to be. Also, my gesture made him see my sincerity. He is now convincing his fellow villagers to let us handle this situation.”

The Yang Family people were surprised by his words. They did not expect that the person from the Two Halls would be this wise. Shi Lang was unlike the people they have met. His temperament, and the mysterious armor on his body, made them reevaluate him.

The village chief came over and expressed his agreement with Shi Lang. The reason why the cultivators did not force the mortals was because if the word got out, that a cultivator has strong armed, then a hidden organization called the Guardian Circle will hunt that cultivator.

Many people did not believe in this organization but Shi Lang had read in the books, they have killed many people over the years.

The sects have tried to look for the members of this organization but they could not find anyone. The reason, these people hid under the plain sight, no way someone could see through them.

Shi Lang waited for the villagers to leave before he got to work. He looked at Yang Xiaoling and asked, “Would you mind if I examined these corpses?”

Yang Xiaoling shook her head and gestured for him to go ahead. She and her troupe were curious to see what methods Shi Lang would use. The Terran walked closer to the corpses, and touched his left forearm with his right palm. The glove on his hand squirmed and flowed back inside the groves of his armguard.

The yang family people were shocked, Shi Lang did not bother to explain and moved his hand through the void above the corpses as he walked around. On the other side, he raised his right arm to lift the corpses out of the mass grave with his spiritual energy manipulation. There were around seventy people.

Shi Lang was done arranging the corpses neatly as he completed one circle. He came back to Yang Xiaoling’s side and said, “We are only half correct. It is an alien from the ten thousand races, but not a barbarian wolf.”

The young man asked, “How did you conclude that?”

Shi Lang smiled and replied, “The disembowelment was done before making the incisions.”

The people opened their eyes wide, and Yang Xiaoling asked, “What do you mean?”

They were not in a hurry to discredit him, because they were dealing with an alien of the ten thousand races. How could it be simple. Shi Lang said, “Come along.”

He led them to a corpse and pointed inside the wound on the abdomen. He said, “The blood is stains are from the incision marks, why is there only this much blood? Because the heart was removed abruptly along with the viscera.”

The people around him could not digest it, and Shi Lang said, “If you have any tools that can detect the energy of space element, then use it. You will find a fine enough trace. The culprit is cunning and thus he left these incisions to confuse us.”

Yang Xiaoling looked at a silent young man and said, “Brother Harwing, can you check?”

Harwing thought for a second before he came forward and placed his hand a few inches above the wound. A few moments later he frowned, and moved over to check another corpse. After checking nine corpses, he said, “He is right. This is different from Barbarian Wolves.”

The young man from earlier sighed and walked around for a bit before he said, “We found some animal fur which matched the description of a wolf. What do you think about that?”

Shi Lang shrugged his shoulder and said, “I don’t know much about the ten thousand races, but the enemy has used spatial ability. That is not in line with the Barbarian Wolves.”

Yang Xiaoling was about to Shi Lang noticed in his sensory ability. He said, “Come, I found what we are looking for.”

That said he cast a barrier around the corpses, Yang Xiaoling asked, “What do you mean?”

Shi Lang said, “Before coming over, I had placed a detection array around the village, just now, I sensed a disruption. Let’s go.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

He dashed and the disciples from the Yang Family exchanged glances, Yang Harwing said, “Let’s go, it is better to check than to be sorry.”

The people chased in the direction Shi Lang had left and were surprised to see his speed, even Yang Xiaoling could not keep up with his speed, she was astonished and curious about the true identity of this talent.

Shi Lang reached the borders of the village and found a creature, half man and half wolf sniffing around and looking at the few people in the village. Shi Lang stopped in the distance, thinking about the best way to deal with this guy, and he took out his spirit sniper rifle.

He took an aim, charged it with his spiritual energy. Yang Family people also reached the same spot as him, and discovered the man-wolf in the distance. They were ready to charge ahead, when they heard a soft click in the void. The next moment, a mournful howl echoed in the region.

They were surprised as they found the man-wolf to be holding his torso as blood leaked through it. His body was healing with great speed, but Shi Lang was not going to allow him this chance. His spirit sniper kept on firing, and more holes appeared on the body of the creature.

The Terran exclaimed, “What dense muscles, Miss Yang, I can only hold it back for a few minutes, however, it will not die. Can you put it down once and for all. I will support you.”

Yang Xiaoling nodded and said, “I was wondering when are you going to ask me.”

Just as they were getting ready to attack, Harwing said, “Wait! This Barbarian Wolf is worth much more alive. It can use space element.”

The Yang Family people were surprised, and Shi Lang asked, “What do you mean?”

Yang Harwing smiled and said, “You will know in a while. But now, just watch as we catch it. I am not going to cut your share, but you don’t have much experience so just watch for the time being.”

Shi Lang nodded, he did not mind, how the ‘elite’ worked.
