A Failure's hopeful Journey

The aura emitted by You Xi Wang was so strong that even a Core formation realm practitioner like You Naixin was surprised. She yelled, "Xiao Wang." and with a wave of her sleeves, the pressure dispersed. You Xi Wang clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He closed his eyes and calmed down a bit, but when he opened his eye, they were red. Everyone realized he was angry. Emily asked the maid who was shocked and scared after You Xi Wang erupted and she was standing really close to him.

Emily spoke, "Sharon. What is it?"

Before Sharon could speak You Xi Wang spoke in a calm voice, "Everyone, gather in the main hall. Excluding kids."

After leaving these words behind, he left towards his room. He changed his clothes into a black shirt and trousers. It all black. It was his subconscious reaction. He would go for dark clothes when having a surge of negative emotions such as gloom, anger. He left his room and was walking towards the main hall. You Zhichi caught up on the way and told him that Lena and her grandmother also wanted to stay for a bit. It turned out that the maid told everyone that the incident was related to dark dwellers and the old lady was an old council official. She was also a victim of these bastards and hated them from the depth of her bones. She wanted to stay in case they needed any help with this matter.

You Xi Wang did not speak and only nodded. A few moments later they arrived at the main hall and all the family members were present. Except for the kids. They were sent to their rooms. They all saw You Xi Wang and greeted him in unison, and You Xi Wang nodded. He stepped up and sat down on his throne. 

He glanced around and saw that people were looking curiously at him. You Xi Wang spoke in a sonorous voice. 

"Today, the family is called upon because I wanted to deliver a message to you all. The You Family does not bow down to the dark dwellers or any such scum. Is it understood?"

"Yes." the crowd shouted in reply.

You Xi Wang spoke, "Bring them in."

Four guards of the family wearing silver-black battle suits brought two people inside the main hall. The couple was kept at gunpoint. Their hands were cuffed and a very high-density puck was tied to their feet. Their cultivation was also sealed. They were just like ordinary humans at the moment. The guards made the couple stop in the center of the hall. They pushed them down on the knee. 

Then Robert and a servant came inside the hall they were carrying two children in their arms. The children were not breathing. Their eyes were open and there was a wound on their chest. They had scared expressions on their faces. The couple kneeling in the hall saw them come, and they licked their lips. They tried to charge towards the children's bodies but were kicked down by the guards. Robert came to the hall and stood there in silence, waiting for his young master to speak.

You Xi Wang spoke, "These two people are dark dwellers. The two kids held by Robert and Uncle Sebastian were originally from our family's Limao Foundation. These two came in and adopted the children a week ago, they were told that they have to visit the foundation office every week on Sunday for us to see if they are taking good care of the children they agreed. They missed two weeks in succession and when an invigilator of the foundation went to check on them, he found that this lot of scum had killed the children and were now preparing to run away with the corpses. After a brief investigation, it was found that they belong to the corpse sect and they refine corpse puppets. They dig out the hearts of the target, eat it in front of them, and then refine the puppet. Fortunately, the invigilator called the guards. They nabbed them before they could run away."

The whole hall was silent. You Shan Wang stepped forward and said, "Xiao Wang, kill them. They don't deserve to live." he unsheathed his sword but before he could slash You Xi Wang stopped him, "Big brother, wait. This death is too easy for them. They need to experience fear. I promise you all that they will beg for death."

Amanda, who was sat beside You Naixin looked at You Xi Wang. She nodded in approval. This slash would be too easy for them, and she looked forward to what he might do. Just when the crowd settled down, they heard a burst of creepy laughter. They found the couple was laughing.

The man looked at You Xi Wang and spoke, "You want to scare us? How, by torturing us? You are being a tiger because our cultivation is sealed. Dare you to release us and I will show you you are just a paper tiger."

You Xi Wang took a deep breath and said, "Release him." his two words triggered a wave in the hall. Elders stood up and said, "Xiao Wang, don't get provoked by his words. He wants to play mind games with you." 

You Xi Wang only looked at You Zhichi. You Zhichi saw her brother was confident. She stood up from her seat and said, "Release him."

The elders quietened, they realized that You Xi Wang was not hot-headed but quite the opposite. He was very calm at this moment. Susan and Emily have not seen You Xi Wang in any real battle and were nervous, Yuki who stood next to them smiled and whispered, "This guy will regret demanding freedom. Don't worry."

Her words were heard by several ladies in the family. They all realized that they did not know You Xi Wang other than being the youngest child in the generation, who was a pampered prince of the family. They also anticipated the progression of this event.

The guard on the side did not hesitate, they were totally sure to act if needed. He pressed a button on the sleeve of his suit and the shackles unlocked and the cultivation of the guy also got unsealed. The shackles injected a serum to seal the cultivation when the prisoner is suppressed. The antidote is released when the shackles are unlocked if commanded, or it will stay sealed. The surge of Dark Qi inside, made him cheer. He stretched his hands and tilted his head. He looked around and spoke to You Xi Wang in a provoking manner. 

"Kid, you have a lot of beauties gathered here. I wonder if there are also kids in this noble house. How about I refine them as well? Hehehe." his tone was very creepy and some kids with low-level cultivation felt their hair standing on the ends. You Xi Wang was very calm. He waved his hand and a pair of gloved appeared in his hands. He did not speak a single word and put on the gloves. He took a step forward, and he was already in front of the man. Given his physique, he was taller than him. He bent his head and looked down on the man. 

The dark dweller was surprised and before he could react he felt a strong pain in his gut. His body turned into a < figure and he flew into the marble pillar.

BAM 

He was spread across the pillar as if a poster. You Xi Wang moved again and came next to him, waved his hand, a needle appeared in his hand. He stabbed the man with him and stepped back casually. The entire hall was stuck to see this. They did not expect this boy to be so strong. You Xi Wang did not even give the other person a chance. Lena was shocked to her core. She could not imagine that this smiling, easy-going boy could be so domineering and cold. 

The man fell down from the pillar. He shivered and started screaming. He looked towards You Xi Wang and shouted, "Boy, what did you do to me? You devil."

You Xi Wang smiled. He started laughing. His laugh scared the people more than the dark dweller. He abruptly stopped and said, "Yes, I am a devil from hell itself and my job is to send you pieces of filth to meet King Yama. Oh, I just stabbed you with a needle covered with the poison of the Pain-inducing Leach. Come, let's dance."

Everyone understood what Pain-inducing leach was and how effective its poison was. You Xi Wang was really cruel to these dark dwellers. They all shook their heads and prayed that this guy to die early. 

You Xi Wang moved and came in front of him and jabbed the man. Before the man could even shout in pain, another fist flashed. You Xi Wang was punching this guy but not too hard. He would take a step back after every punch. He was jumping on his toes and hitting him according to the out boxing style he learned in his previous life. The man could do nothing but just scream and wail in pain. This style was effective in dealing with people quickly and confusing them. It also looked cool. Yuki was already busy clicking his pictures and share them later. Lena was shocked to see how elegant he was looking at this moment. 

Suddenly the youngsters in the hall could not help but started cheering, "WAR GOD, WAR GOD, WAR GOD" the elders smiled, and the man kept screaming. Amanda spoke to You Naixin, "This boy, why is he such."

You Naixin spoke with a sad smile, "He was a momma's boy a few months ago but his parents were killed by the dark dwellers. He suffered a big trauma, when he recovered it became a different story altogether. He has killed a few dark dwellers since then."

Amanda nodded, she could relate to his situation. She had lost her children to these dark dwellers. You Xi Wang came to the woman and dragged her by her hair, showing no gender discrimination, to where the man was screaming. He looked at the man and said, "I will give you an antidote. You just have to cut out her heart and eat it now."

The man was so desperate that he did not need a second nudge and quickly used his fingers and dug them inside the woman's chest. That woman kept pleading with him, she even asked him to stop for the sake of love. You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are feeding him your love."

The man dug out her heart amidst the building eyes of the onlookers You Xi Wang smiled. They did not imagine him to be so cruel. Lena and Emily even puked. The man took a bite on the beating heart held in his hand and the woman's eyes dimmed. You Xi Wang couldn't care less. He bent down and said, "Good." and gave the man the antidote. 

The man had just felt relieved when he again felt being stabbed. He saw You Xi Wang holding a needle. The man cried, "KILL ME, PLEASE KILL ME. YOU MADE ME EAT ANNA'S HEART. KILL ME ALREADY, YOU DEVIL." his voice was hoarse.

You Xi Wang did not bother and started punching him again. After five minutes he stopped again. The man crawled on the floor and looked around and begged the people to kill him, but nobody came forward. He looked to You Xi Wang and kept begging. The handsome devil smirked and said, "Dig out your heart and get free from all the pain."

The man looked at him and after a pause, he dug his bloody hands in his chest and tore it apart. The pain was too much after being poisoned, he died. The hall was silent.
