"What should you remember in your next life?"
Jiang Yan chuckled softly.
"It's been a long time since anyone dared say that to me."
He didn't even lift his gaze.
With a single thought—
Twelve Thunder Prison Spear-Seals surged out from his Sea of Consciousness.
They moved like silent lightning, crossing space in an instant and piercing directly into the spiritual cores of the twelve members of the Black Cloud Society.
"AAAH—!!"
The moment they raised their weapons, all twelve clutched their heads and screamed.
Blood streamed from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths as their souls were torn apart from within.
In the next breath—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Twelve heads exploded simultaneously, bursting apart like overripe fruit.
Jiang Yan had fused a sliver of Space Law into each thunder spear.
The illusionist attack destroyed the soul.
The Space Law erased the body's final resistance.
No survival.
No chance.
Twelve headless corpses collapsed one after another, lifeless before they hit the ground.
Silence.
Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng all felt their scalps tighten.
Instantly killing star-level experts without even stepping forward—
This was far beyond what they understood as "combat."
"Babata," Luo Feng asked quietly,
"what kind of technique was that?"
Babata hovered in midair, expression complicated.
"You and Jiang Yan are both spiritual-type warriors," it said slowly.
"But your paths are different."
"You are a Controller."
"He is an Illusionist."
"In terms of soul attacks, illusionists are far more specialized."
"As for that technique—"
Babata paused, flipping through a tattered manual in its hand.
"It doesn't exist in any record I have."
"It's likely something he created himself."
The manual was Thunder Prison Suppressing Demons.
Even Hu Yanbo had only obtained its first three chapters.
Yet Jiang Yan had already surpassed what was written within.
Babata felt… depressed.
"Third Brother," Thor said cautiously,
"killing them won't cause trouble, right?"
"The Black Cloud Society isn't small."
"They're one of the Four Major Organizations."
Jiang Yan replied indifferently:
"They're just star-level expendables."
"They don't represent the Black Cloud Society."
Hong frowned.
"Then what about what they said—about you going against all the major forces?"
Jiang Yan briefly explained what had happened at the entrance to the Realm within the Realm.
Thor's expression tightened.
"That's practically half the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."
"Is it really fine?"
Jiang Yan shook his head.
"If star-level warriors could make decisions for Holy Lands and top organizations, the universe would've collapsed long ago."
Then he added calmly:
"Besides—"
"Even if I truly offended them…"
"They still can't do anything to me."
The strongest founders of those forces were merely Immortal-level.
Red Kite alone could erase them with a flick of her finger.
Hong and the others exchanged glances—then nodded.
They stopped worrying.
Instead, they began efficiently looting the corpses.
Old habit.
"Ha! We struck it rich!"
Thor suddenly laughed.
"There are Wind Horn Stones and One-Horned Iron Rhinoceros horns in here!"
Hong's eyes lit up.
"How many?"
Thor checked quickly.
"Over twenty Wind Horn Stones."
"Six rhinoceros horns."
"That's enough for all of us to complete the mercenary assessment."
He divided the materials and handed them out.
Luo Feng smiled as he stored his share.
"We spent days mining cosmic crystals and ignored the mission."
"Now we're done in one shot."
At that moment—
"Thunder Emperor!"
"I found the Thunder Emperor!"
An excited voice rang out from the distance.
Jiang Yan snorted.
Without even turning his head—
A thunder spear silently formed.
The distant figure let out a short scream.
His head exploded mid-air.
Dead before his body hit the ground.
Thor swallowed.
"This method is just… terrifying."
Hong looked at Jiang Yan.
"It seems you're officially wanted now."
"Every major force inside the Realm within the Realm will be hunting you."
"Good."
Jiang Yan smiled.
"Being wanted makes things interesting."
He turned to them.
"You've completed the assessment."
"Leave the Thunder World."
"What comes next—"
"I want to play with them."
As he spoke, Jiang Yan took out five C2-grade laser guns and handed them over.
"With these, you can leave safely."
Thor stared at the weapon in his hands, eyes gleaming.
"Third Brother, with this, we don't need to leave, do we?"
Jiang Yan shook his head.
"What I'm about to do—"
"You're not suited to be here."
Hong stepped forward immediately.
"Understood."
"Third Brother, take care."
Luo Feng nodded.
They had already harvested nearly twenty thousand cubic meters of cosmic crystals.
Their gains were enormous.
They turned and headed toward the exit.
Thor looked back reluctantly.
"Third Brother—"
"Help me get revenge."
"Kill the bastard who ambushed me."
"And record it."
"I want to see it with my own eyes."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly.
"No problem."
Once they disappeared, Jiang Yan turned back.
He looked at one of the corpses on the ground.
He raised his hand—
And crushed it.
In the next instant, his figure shifted.
Armor, features, aura—all transformed.
Demon Slayer Clan innate technique: Replication.
Even in his Earth body, with the golden finger linked to his main body, he could freely use it.
Jiang Yan rolled his neck once.
A cold smile spread across his face.
"Alright."
"The hunt begins."
