My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 82 Light and Darkness
"I heard that the eldest son of the Huang family has successfully achieved Qi cultivation. That's not bad."

Outside the Baoqingfang Hundred-Household Office of Zhenwuwei, at a secluded tea stall, a bald, muscular man spoke leisurely.

Sitting opposite the bald, burly man, Nie Kun sipped his tea. “It’s not surprising. Huang Qian is naturally talented, and with the help of the Qi Gathering Pill, it’s normal for him to succeed in Qi Induction. It would be surprising if he failed.”

The bald, burly man shook his head: "What a pity, they ran into Huang Tian, ​​otherwise the Huang family would have prospered for decades because of him."

Nie Kun smiled and said, "Brother Tie, you were a monk at Mingzhong Temple for more than ten years. Don't you know the principle that every cause has an effect? ​​Whether the Huang family will prosper or not was sown when Huang Xunjiu was managing the family."

The bald, burly man was none other than Tie Qi, who was ordered to protect Huang Tian along with Nie Kun.

He nodded slightly. "Yes, today's consequences are yesterday's causes. The root of the Huang family's current predicament lies entirely in Huang Xunjiu's past mistreatment of Huang Tian and his mother. If Huang Tian's mother hadn't died from accumulated resentment, there might still be room for maneuver. But now..."

He shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Nie Kun chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, Huang Tian wasn't moved at all after hearing the news that Huang Qian had successfully guided his Qi. He's still doing what he always does, focusing wholeheartedly on his cultivation. That's quite admirable."

"He remains calm even when the sky falls; he possesses the mindset of a strong person," Tie Qi said. "With such a mindset, coupled with his talent, he will surely go far on the path of martial arts in the future. A third-grade grandmaster is nothing to him; he may even become a first-grade peerless master."

Nie Kun smiled and said, "Brother Tie has high expectations for him."

"I just see the shadow of many strong people in him," Tie Qi said. "He suffered hardships at a young age, and once he broke free from his cage, he has excellent comprehension and innate talent. If such a person can't become strong, then who can?"

Nie Kun laughed and joked, "Now that Brother Jingtie says so, Huang Tian really does resemble a character from a storybook."

The Five Realms value martial arts, but not everyone has good aptitude or sufficient resources to learn martial arts. Therefore, some vernacular novels have become popular in the market to satisfy people's yearning for martial arts.

In these vernacular novels, the protagonists often suffer hardships and are bullied when they are young.

After growing up, they either fall off a cliff and obtain the treasures of their predecessors, or they are valued by martial arts masters who play the world and are taken in as disciples. From then on, they are invincible and enjoy high-ranking positions, rich salaries, beautiful women and famous horses, and a carefree life.

He eventually became a top-tier grandmaster, revered by millions.

Of course, there are even more "outlandish" scenarios, where the protagonist unexpectedly finds a legendary Void Realm Divine Weapon. With the help of the Void Realm Divine Weapon, his cultivation level rises rapidly, allowing him to show off, slap faces, achieve Celestial Being status, and overpower Yin Fenghai...

Okay, they don't dare to write about Yin Fenghai, but they dare to subtly mention "invincible in the world".

Tie Qi shook his head, "Fictional novels can only be used to relieve boredom; they are ultimately fictional. The true supreme genius is Yin Fenghai. He is the living embodiment of a hidden dragon rising from the abyss, invincible among men!"

Nie Kun felt a surge of longing. "The snow is lower than my eyebrows, the mountains are desolate. Yin Fenghai's realm is far beyond our imagination..."

As martial artists, who wouldn't yearn for and admire the world's best?
In particular, Yin Fenghai's invincibility was not just talk, but earned through his own hard work. On the Heavenly Ranking, which of the top five had not fought against him, yet they all ultimately fell to his fists!

Not only that, he traveled thousands of miles, seeking out powerful figures who had retreated from the world to challenge, but after decades, he regretfully discovered that there was no one in the world who could defeat him.

Being invincible in the human world is also a sign of human desolation.

From then on, he sat alone in the mountains, single-mindedly seeking the mysteries of the ethereal realm, and remained hidden from the world for a long time.

Nie Kun and Tie Qi exchanged a glance, their faces showing a mixture of longing and regret.

…… ……

Four more days passed after Huang Qian successfully completed his Qi cultivation.

At dusk that day, the sect members that Zhang Yu had been waiting for finally arrived.

Two fifth-rank external affairs officers, one surnamed Wu and the other surnamed Liu, were accompanied by four sixth-rank martial artists.

"Greetings, two deacons."

In Baoqingfang, in a secluded courtyard, Zhang Yu greeted Wu and Liu warmly.

The two returned the greeting politely, without becoming arrogant because of their higher cultivation level. This was because, although they were called stewards, they knew in their hearts that the Flying Hong Sect did not regard them as their own people, while Zhang Yu, although a "disciple who had been abandoned," was more valued and trusted by the sect.

After exchanging pleasantries, Deacon Wu inquired, "Brother Zhang, have you figured out Huang Tian's situation these past few days? Do we have any opportunity to ambush him?"

Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly, "I don't know if he has sensed something and become more cautious, or if he is really focused on cultivation and doesn't care about trivial matters."

Since taking office, he has never personally led anyone to patrol the neighborhoods. He spends his days practicing meditation in the office, and after finishing his duties, he goes straight home.

His residence is very close to the Zhenwuwei government office. If we make a move, it will be difficult to escape in time. In just a few breaths, the strongmen in the government office can leap out to support him and stop us.

Deacon Liu frowned. "Do you think he discovered something?"

"There shouldn't be."

After a moment's thought, Zhang Yu made a judgment: "If he had noticed anything, the Zhenwu Guard would have already sent people to protect him closely and searched for us extensively throughout the city."

It's no surprise that Huang Tian is now the darling of the Zhenwu Guard. If the Zhenwu Guard had known about the Flying Hong Sect's assassination attempt on him beforehand, the city would definitely not be peaceful right now.

Deacon Wu said, "It's good that we haven't found anything, otherwise we would have had to abandon this mission."

For the generous rewards promised by the Flying Flying Sect, they were willing to take on high-risk missions, but they naturally avoided missions with a high chance of certain death. No amount of elixirs or treasures was more important than their lives.

Deacon Liu asked, "Brother Zhang, do you have any ideas or plans?"

Zhang Yu replied, "There are two methods. One is to wait patiently until he leads his men to patrol the streets and alleys, then we can seize the opportunity to strike and kill him, and then leave quickly."

Deacon Wu pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I thought we should act as soon as possible and not just wait idly. Who knows when Huang Tian will go out on patrol? If he doesn't come out, won't we have to keep waiting? The longer we delay, the more things might go wrong."

Deacon Liu chimed in, "I also think it's better to act sooner rather than later; I feel uncomfortable staying in Baoqingfang."

After listening to their ideas, Zhang Yu continued, "The other method is much simpler and more straightforward. We can ambush him on his way back from the Hundred Household Office to his residence and suddenly attack him when he passes by. However, the section of his way home is not far from the Zhenwuwei government office, so we will have very little time to kill him and escape."

Deacon Wu thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's alright, let's choose the second method. The simpler and more direct it is, the more effective it will be. Trying to use tricks will only make things worse."

Deacon Liu nodded slowly. "We're in the shadows, he's in the light. He won't be on high alert. There's a good chance we can ambush him by the roadside and kill him in one fell swoop..."
