A few hours ago. Raynare arrived in a settlement on top of a mountain. She asked where she was, and the people replied with Heavenly Fate Plateau.
Raynare looked around, and the place seemed reasonably safe from the Demon Beast that she had encountered earlier. One of the demonic beasts was a monkey, and the other was a horse-like demonic beast. Raynare wondered if it would be tameable if sent to Issei's Dimensional Farm.
While Raynare was thinking. A lot of the people of Heavenly Fate Plateau were staring at her.
"Which family do you think that young madam is from?" One of the people asked another person.
"Her clothes are quite exquisite," Another person said.
"Do you think she is someone from the clan?" A man asked.
"I don't think so. I've never seen her around the clan before," a woman near the man who asked said.
"With the way she's dressed, at least we know she isn't from the low lands," The man beside the woman said.
'Hmm…this place doesn't seem half bad,' Raynare thought. After all, there seemed to only be a single way up the settlement. That is, if you are incapable of flying. Looking around, Raynare realised that the people seemed relatively thin. 'Are they not getting enough food? That would make sense since they have only one way down the mountain, and it's filled with Demon Beasts'.
Finding a place to sit down, Raynare saw a congee shop. She took a sit on one of the empty seats.
"Old man, give me four of the best congees," Raynare said. The old man perked up after here Raynare's order. "Scratch that, make it five. I'm quite famished after travelling a few hours to get here".
One of the workers gasped after hearing Raynare say that she travelled a few hours to get to Heavenly Fate Plateau. That would make Raynare a traveller or a Demon Beast Fighter, which is impressive.
"Are you someone from the outside world?" The woman asked. Raynare nodded at her. "That's wonderful. I heard that the outside world is dangerous and filled with Demon Beasts".
"True, there are a lot of Demon Beast outside, but they are mostly at the foot of the mountain. If you get past that, there are a lot less," Raynare said. That was true, a lot of Demon Beast is congested at the foot of the mountain but get past them, and you'd be seeing far less Demon Beast. "By the way, what kind of currency do you use here?".
"We use copper coins," The woman said. She then took out a few to show Raynare. "Other than that, we do trades".
The coins that the woman showed Raynare were similar to the coins that she took from the dead bodies of the people she killed on her way to Heavenly Fate Plateau. Raynare didn't kill those people for fun. It was purely self-defence as they tried to attack and rape her. Too bad they didn't know how strong Raynare was.
"Here, can you check if these are the same coins?" Raynare asked. The woman then nodded at her, confirming the coins were the same as the currency. "Thankfully, I could find some on my way here".
Present time. Issei was resting in the inn when he heard people breaking in. Of course, they couldn't. However, Issei let them in. He wanted to see who dared to send an assassin to kill him.
Issei pretended to sleep. One of the assassins sent to kill him didn't hesitate to attack and stab Issei in the heart. However, the dagger snapped and ricocheted towards the assassin's head, killing him.
"What the hell is this kid's body made of?!" One of the assassins shouted. He was then silenced by one of the other assassins. He then whispered. "Sorry! I was just shocked".
"Whatever. We need to kill this kid," another one of the assassins said. "Do any of you have a higher ranks weapon?".
"I do. This one is a Gold-rank dagger," A black-haired assassin said. They weren't even bothering to cover their face. "I don't believe that this kid would be able to withstand the power of a Gold-rank dagger!".
The black-haired assassin stabbed Issei as the other killer did earlier, but the outcome was the same. The black-haired assassin was killed by his own blade after it snapped. All this time, Issei was trying to hold in his laughter. That's because not even a Legend rank weapon would be able to pierce his skin.
"Damn it! How is this possible?!" the previous assassin who asked for a stronger weapon said. "Seriously, what is his body made of?!".
"Hey, don't copy what I said earlier," one of the assassins said. He was peeved that he was scolded when he said those exact words. "What are we going to do now? We don't have any stronger weapons. Black Gold rank and Legend rank weapons are not easy to come by. Plus, we don't have the strength to use both those types of weapons".
"If we can't stab him, we drown him!" the assassin said. "I don't believe that he can breathe underwater!".
The assassins tried to pick up Issei, but they couldn't. He was simply too heavy. That's not true at all. Issei was just using magic to make it impossible for him to be moved. This spell is usually used on safes to ensure that it couldn't be stolen, but Issei thought this would be a good use for it.
"Oh my god! Why is he so heavy?!" The assassin said. He tried lifting Issei with all his might, but he wouldn't budge. "Damn it! I'll kill that Shen Fei brat myself after we complete this mission. He said that the target was only an ordinary person".
After the assassin said that, they all suddenly couldn't move. Issei then stood up from the bed. He stared at the assassin and smirked.
"Tell me, is this Shen Fei the related to Shen Yue?" Issei asked the assassin. None of them answered. So, Issei blew up one of them in a very gruesome way. "Now, are you going to answer, or do I have to force you?".
"Yes! Shen Fei is related to Shen Yue. He is the elder brother," The assassin caved in. No way! He wasn't paid enough to die! The kid didn't even move, and one of them died. "Please let us go. We are only doing what our young master has ordered us to do".
"It doesn't matter," Issei said. These people are lying. The Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils saw right through it. They weren't forced to assassinate Issei. In fact, they agreed to do the job as they enjoyed killing people. "I know when you lie, and I know when you're telling the truth. You, being forced to do this was a lie".
"No! I don't want to die! Let me go! Help! Help! Murder!" The assassin shouted. Not knowing that the room was soundproof due to one of Issei's spells. "Ha-ha-ha! I want to see how you explain this to people!".
"Are you dumb? One, this is my room. You're the one trespassing," Issei said. He raised an eyebrow at the assassin's stupidity. "Two, this room is soundproofed. No matter how loud you shout, no one will hear you besides the people inside the room".
Issei then gave a goodbye gesture toward the assassins. One by one, they popped like a balloon. When a single one remained, Issei once again asked his question.
"Where does this Shen Fei live?" Issei asked. The assassin knew that he was going to die. So, he decided to keep his mouth shut. Bad choice. Issei was a master potion maker. He can make potions that cause the pain receptors in the body to be heightened by Ten-Thousand times. He force-fed the potion to the assassin. "Now, I'll ask again. Where does this Shen Fei live?".
The assassin was wreathing in pain. Whatever he was made to drink was causing him immense pain. The assassin couldn't stand the pain after a minute.
"Make it stop! Make it stop!" The assassin shouted. He's never felt this much pain before. Death would be a blessing in this situation. "I'll speak! Just kill me already!".
"Good! Now, speak!" Issei said. The assassin spilt the beans on Shen Fei's whereabouts. Issei was no longer his problem. After all, Shen Fei was the one that hired them. After getting the location of Shen Fei, Issei snapped the neck of the assassin. For giving him information, Issei left his body intact. "Hmph! You want to assassinate me? Let's see how great of a person you are, Shen Fei".
Issei flew to the area of the Sacred Family after he cleaned the residue of the assassins that he killed. Once he arrived at the Sacred Family Manor, the place was filled with a bloody aura. Not a single person was innocent in this family. But since only a single person tried to kill Issei, he only planned to kill that person.
Oh, how the other people of the Sacred Family wished they were killed instead.
Issei looked for the room of Shen Fei, and when he found him, he created a soundproofing spell to make sure that his screams wouldn't be heard. Issei then grabbed the asshole's head and squeezed tightly.
"Ahhhh!" Shen Fei shouted. Issei's strength was enough to completely crush his head, but Issei was preventing that. Death is such an easy punishment for this turd. Issei took out the same potion he fed the assassin and forced Shen Fei to drink it. "Now, drink it all. Don't leave a single drop!".
Although this was the same potion given to the assassin, the quality was much different. The assassin was given a low-rank potion. The one Shen Fei drank was a legendary grade potion. Rather than Ten-thousand times, the pain, Shen Fei's pain receptor, was heightened by a Million times.
"Ahhhh! Who the hell are you?! Do you know who I am?! I'm the eldest young master of the Sacred Family! I'm someone that should not be offended!" Shen Fei shouted. However, when the potion took effect, he could no longer speak. All Shen Fei could do was scream for his life. "Ahhhh!".
"I don't give a damn who you are or what family you're from. You tried to get me assassinated. If I was any other person, I would have been dead!" Issei said. People like Shen Fei shouldn't exist in the world. They don't see any value in human life. "Besides, did you think I didn't know who you are? Bitch please! I walked into your family's manor. Did you really think I didn't know who I would kill?".
Shen Fei was dumb. He was sleeping on his own bed. Yet, Shen Fei didn't know that the man in front of him dared to harm him anyway.
Issei smirked at Shen Fei. Killing him would be too easy of a punishment. So, Issei destroyed his cultivation.
"Now, I want to ask you a question. I know you can't speak, but you can still nod your head no matter how painful it is," Issei said. To Shen Fei, breathing alone was painful. If he was to nod his head, it would be excruciating. "Did you try and get me assassinated after Shen Yue told you about me?".
Shen Fei nodded. There was no point in lying now. Doing so would only hasten his death.
"Good, I have another one to deal with," Issei said. Before letting Shen Fei go, He cut off the man's dick and balls. The amount of pain Shen Fei felt made him wail. "I won't kill you since death is too easy of a punishment for a trash like you".
After dealing with Shen Fei, Issei went to Shen Yue's room. The treatment that his elder brother got he got two-fold. Shen Yue, after all, was the one that instigated Shen Fei to come after Issei.
After all this, Issei was still not done. Although the people of the Sacred Family have done nothing to him, they are just too disgusting to let be. So, Issei burst his killing intent and aura throughout the manner. This goes for Shen Yue and Shen Fei.
The killing intent of Issei shocked everyone in the Manor, including the Patriarch, who was on closed-door cultivation. The old man puked blood, and his cultivation was destroyed due to a misstep when he felt the killing intent. But that's not all. Issei's aura then pressured everyone in the Sacred Family Manor. It was so strong that people's bones and veins popped. Their cultivation was destroyed. Issei showed no mercy.
In the Winged Dragon Family, Ning'er was cultivating in peace. She felt as if the pressure on her was lifted. She smiled and continued cultivating. Ning'er even gave a light chuckle. She didn't know why, but she was suddenly in a good mood.
