Tainted will

Bai Ming stood on top of a two story house, staring coldly at the scene unfolding at his stall.

Bam!

A large crowd of cultivators were gathered around a stall in the eastern part of the Teng city, a smashing sound came from the tiny stall.

Thereafter, a coarse and arrogant voice resounded, "Hmph, what sort of formation is this? This is but a third rate formation, you dare sell this to me at this absurd price?"

"Hmph!" Bai Ming's gaze shone with coldness as he moved closer to the scene.

He had just received a message from Yang lai saying someone had come to find trouble at his stall.

Bai Ming immediately understood this problem was not so simple, he right away connected this issue with red lotus sect and thinking of how Lu Yunjie had readily sold him the formation flags, he was certain this was the city Lord's doing. People who do business hate these kinds of problems, but Bai Ming on the contrary was happy.

And more importantly the person who had come wasn't someone half-assed cultivator, he was an prestigious Yin-Yang void ream master.

How terrifying were yin-yang void cultivators, even if hundreds of regular spirit realm cultivators ganged up on just one yin-yang cultivator, the grand expert could annihilate them without breaking a sweat. It was not just the fact that Yin-yang void cultivators had spiritual essence reserves hundreds of time bigger than spirit realm cultivators, but their every attack contained the strengthening of the formless Yin and yang spirit essence, making their strikes truly dreadful and menacing.

Even in the Teng city there were only five Yin-Yang realm cultivators. Excluding Lu Yunjie the others where all part of the Teng bloodline and were pretty well-known figures.

Yang lai's face was pale, as if his one foot were in the grave already. His eyes were darting around searching for Bai Ming, without a shred of doubt he wanted nothing to do with this madness.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and an ugly smile formed on his unsightly face, within the crowd he saw a youngster silently moving forward. Without any other thoughts Yang lai shouted, as he ran towards Bai Ming like an excited dog, "Senior Yun, I have done nothing wrong and have followed your instructions with unwavering sincerity and honesty. But the current situation is totally out of my hands." saying this Yang lai immediately gave a deep bow.

Immediately countless gazes filled with mockery, disdain and pity fell on Bai Ming.

Under these piercing gazes Bai Ming still had an indifferent expression, as if he couldn't care less.

Bai Ming placed his hand on Yang lai's shoulder, "Why haven't the city guards come yet?"

"The city gaurds had actually arrived some time ago, but seeing that the person making trouble was a Yin-yang void cultivator they quickly ran away to call for reinforcements." Yang lai spoke in a single breath, not daring to waste Bai Ming's single second. After all it would only take a throught for Bai Ming to shatter his soul.

Bai Ming retracted his hand and began to slowly walk forward while unsheathing his sword.

Yang lai saw through Bai Ming's intentions and immediately felt a surge happiness assault his heart, he screamed inwardly 'Die, you evil motherfucker!!'

Bai Ming took dozens of strides, walking forward and stood tens of meters away from the Yin-yang void cultivator.

He saw that an old man dressed in black attire had his right foot stepping on a plaque which had the words 'Unrivalled' written on it.

His body was slightly short, but his arms and waist were thick. He had tiny grey eyes and a thick white beard, extending downwards from his cheeks to meet at his chin, his body emitted a strong aura of ferociousness.

The ground near him had broken wooden fragments, and many of the Bai Ming's portable formations for sale also had been destroyed. Only forty or fifty formations were intact.

"It seems this customer has some issues with my formations." Bai Ming spoke in a calm voice while secretly thinking, 'This guy's image doesn't match to any of those four yin-yang cultivators of this city, did he purposely put on a different appearance. But more importantly there is also something strange about his aura, unlike that Lu Yunjie there's a fundamental difference in their aura, if any thing it's somewhat similar to those evil dao valley members, is he a member of that force or a puppet of the city Lord or both.'

"You are that Yi Yun right. Junior, your stall is cheating my money with your degraded formations. I don't want this formation, your formations are all trash. Why did you even open up this shop. Compensation, I must be compensated! My good mood was ruined by you guys, you have to compensate me at least five million spirit stones!" Yan Shi demanded a ridiculous amount.

"Hahaha, looks like the owner has finally gotten a taste of his own medicine. He made us buy formations at such an outrageous price, he got what he deserved."

"Shut up! you idiot if the owner gets looted we will also suffer, don't you think that he will just raise the price of the formations to make up for his losses."

"More importantly isn't that senior afraid that city Lord would arrive any moment and chop off his head."

"They still haven't fought, have they."

"That's right, even if city Lord is taking care of the peace in the city, times have changed. The resources in this world are limited. Everyone can only get a small piece of the pie. How can he, enjoy such fortune at his young age? Preposterous!"

"Is this senior trying to anger the owner into a duel? If they had a fight in the death arena, he might be able to get a piece of the pie."

Someone nodded, "Could be true. The Teng city's policies are there, haven't you guys understood from all these years? To a degree, they allow us to compete, the strong should get more resources, isn't that right? If the weak cannot protect their assets, they would have to give it up and why would the city lord take sides with a spirit realm cultivator, just because he owns a huge collection of tier-3 formations? no chance in hell."

"Mm, makes sense. Let's see first. There's something fishy going on here." someone suppressed his voice and said.

The surrounding Cultivators conversed among themselves, very few cultivators walked away not wanting to get involved in this. But majority of them spectated from a good distance, enjoying the show.

"Purely here to find trouble!" Bai Ming upon seeing this scene, his face was emotionless, but his eyes glinted with cold light.

Yan shi continued to stare at Bai Ming, "However, since you are a newbie, I'll give you a chance to repent and apologise in public. If not others will say that I, Yan Shi is bullying a junior with my status. Hahaha!"

Yan Shi laughed loudly, "As long as you get down on your knees and apologise, and compensate me with just two million spirit stones this matter will be over. I walk my talk, I will do as I promised!"

He patted his chest in thunderous volume, showing an air of magnanimity, but his intention could not lie to the surrounding cultivators.

"What a bastard move."

"That's right, If Bai Ming apologised, he would no longer be able to raise his head, and anyone would come over and step on him and bully his weakness. But if he does not apologise, the consequences are going to be just too much."

Bai Ming coldly glared at Yan Shi before turning towards the crowd, he asked in loud voice, "Everyone, I hope you will be witness to this man's bullying. Later when the Teng city elders come, please back me up to get justice and punish this evildoer. This the duty of us righteous path members."

Yan Shi heard this and immediately revealed a look of disdain, he coldly spat out two words, "How naive."

As for the crowd, some just scoffed at Bai Ming. While some avoided his gaze, others secretly cursed at him and some individuals with a bit kindness in their hearts felt shame inwardly. But not a single one of them agreed to help Bai Ming and the little bit of pity which they felt for Bai Ming disappeared like thin smoke and was replaced by pure disdain and mockery.

These cultivators were neither fools nor idiots to simply offended a yin-yang void cultivator for someone else sake, they might not even stand up for their own family members in such situations much less for outsiders.

Suddenly a person from the crowd yelled, "We haven't witnessed shit, we have all gone blind. And fuck you and you're dog shit justice!"

Many in the crowd started to viciously scold Bai Ming, not worrying of offending Bai Ming a spirit realm cultivator any more, they were instead trying to please the yin-yang void cultivator.

'Hehehe, such bliss! Ah, I could just orgasm from this..' Yang lai's breathing was rough, his pupils almost rolling back from the sick pleasure.

Bai Ming stood like a sculpture, indifferent to the mockery and curses thrown at him. Only his divine sense was constantly scanning the area.

Only after a whole minute had passed, did he finally speak.

With a pained look on his face and a cruel smile in his heart. Bai Ming uttered, "Since that is the case. Then for the sake of justice, I shall endure this unbearable pain and exterminate every single one of you!"
