RETURN OF THE RULER
137. Turbulences.
"What...?" Yang Xuan was startled after checking the messages sent by his mother. He again examined it once again to ascertain whether his vision was not good due to the lightning hit misery. It turned out that it was true that the temple of the thunderbolt put up a fight, only that the members of the temple had too many casualties.
Yang Xuan wasn't surprised that the members of the thunderbolt temple were attacked, but he was shocked that Cao Ming was putting up a fight. The chief of the thunderbolt temple was seriously injured along with dozens of high-level elders, yet they managed to drive out the Hou clan group.
"Is it now that Cao Ming has come to the realization that he has made a grave mistake?" Yang Xuan actually already knew that the enemy side often appeared in the territory of the thunderbolt temple. He was waiting for the exact moment when Cao Ming betrayed, however, he did not expect Cao Ming to put up a fight.
Yang Xuan sealed the area of jing shang mountain, suddenly white smoke gathered and covered the top of jing shang mountain, having finished sealing the mountain peak area. Yang Xuan immediately put his spiritual awareness amidst the white smoke gathered before him to create a spatial formation, He continued to circulate his spiritual power to expand the space amidst the white smoke.
After finishing making a space that has an area of about thousands of meters. Yang Xuan again made the center point of the formation to create a time formation. He flew up into the sky within the space formation and then made the center point of the time rotation formation then made giant pillars to sustain the dimensional world.
After seeing the rotation at the center of the formation stabilized, Yang Xuan re-sealed the dimensional world in order to have a strong gravity. Yang Xuan again made a teleportation gate while taking out a high-level artevak then sealed it in the corner of the gate to prop up the teleportation gate to keep the teleportation path safe.
Yang Xuan made the world in order for Ilena to quickly complete her training, she made the time of one month in the dimensional world equal to one day in the outside world. Yang Xuan stared at Ilena inside the sun formation ball for quite a while then took out dozens of ferocious beasts and demons from the beast necklace to guard the girl.
Yang Xuan entered the teleportation gate while staring at the millions of lights within the teleportation passage colliding into each other even looking extremely beautiful. He stared at the perfect teleportation path. Yang Xuan smiled in satisfaction after seeing the teleportation path in the space and time dimensional gap already stabilized.
Although he created a short-range teleportation path, he was still afraid of space and time storms that would occasionally appear and damage the teleportation path. He was afraid of being thrown into the void because he had experienced it.
Yang Xuan appeared in the sky of the thunderbolt temple region and saw that the temple was still safe. He watched the entire region and continued to fly slowly in the other direction to check where the battle was.
"Is this the location of their battle." Yang Xuan saw an already ravaged hill, deep basins were created, the surrounding forest was already level with the ground, blood splattered everywhere.
Yang Xuan flew towards the thunderbolt temple feeling annoyed, he let the demon sword sect stand up to this moment because it had never been in conflict with the temple or with him. The wars in the east wind sect and the wars in the jing shang mountain, the demon sword sect were also not involved, so Yang Xuan had no intention to exterminate them.
Yang Xuan had not expected the demonic sword sect to attack the thunderbolt temple secretly, now there was no longer any reason for him to let the sect stand. After all, the distance between the demon sword sect and the thunderbolt temple was not too far away so it was very dangerous to let the sect stand.
"They are indeed pests in this region, it is very dangerous to let them roam. Just wait, you'll suffer the consequences." Yang Xuan was furious that the sect had already dared to play around with him even though he had deliberately not exterminated the sect.
Yang Xuan's anger one of them was directed at Cao Ming, he returned in anger after checking the incoming message. One thing that made Yang Xuan so angry that Cao Ming let the enemy roam the thunder temple territory, it would greatly endanger the surrounding villages.
Upon arriving at Yang Xuan's thunderbolt temple saw Cao Ming recuperating in the temple grounds with thousands of temple members. He immediately walked casually towards Cao Ming to give him a gift.
Dhuars
"Aarrgghh.." cried Cao Ming in pain. He was thrown far away because Yang Xuan's punch landed heavily on his chest. Cao Ming was again mortally wounded after almost finishing recuperating.
All the inhabitants of the thunderbolt temple were shocked and immediately shouted to save themselves. They had thought that the one who attacked Cao Ming was the black-robed man again, but after seeing who had come they instantly fell silent when they saw Yang Xuan's anger.
"Do you still deserve to be the head of the temple, even the disciples of this temple know that letting the enemy roam its territory is a very foolish act." Flinch Yang Xuan. He looked at Cao Ming with anger, especially after staring at the hundreds of bodies scattered in the temple courtyard and hundreds more severely injured.
"I'm sorry Young Master, give it a chance once more, I'll fix it." Cao Ming pleaded while prostrating. Even he felt his body almost explode after a heavenly level spiritual aura directed Yang Xuan specifically at him. He also spewed out fresh blood many times.
Cao Ming only realized that Yang Xuan was aware of the appearance of the demon sword sect head in the area of the thunderbolt temple. He now understood that Yang Xuan was even more intelligent than what he was thinking.Even obviously Yang Xuan could tell where he was to be humble as well as ruthless.
Cao Ming also realized that Yang Xuan was still hesitant to his loyalty, angering Yang Xuan not because many temple members were victims but because he doubted his loyalty, now that his life is on the edge of the horn is not a possibility with his family.
Seeing that, all the members of the thunderbolt temple shuddered in fear, all this time they heard their Young Master was very kind and gentle but after seeing firsthand they realized Cao Ming's mistake was enormous.
"Are you still trustworthy, all the chiefs of the temple are trying to be strong including uncle Liang of the sun hill temple, but uncle Liang can still develop the southern region of the jiang empire, but, look at this region even far behind from the rest of the territory, even I have never asked any member of this temple to join the fight." Yang Xuan said no matter how Cao Ming kowtowed before him.
Cao Ming clearly knew that Xuan Liang was much weaker than him, but Xuan Liang was able to develop the southern region of the jiang empire well when Yang Xuan had never helped him. Even the temple of the sun hill is equivalent to the basar sect even though the region is a remote region, let alone a small town big city does not exist around the temple of the sun hill but the temple can still develop.
Unlike the thunderbolt temple, the area of the thunderbolt temple was a resource-rich region there were even several small towns around. Previously the east wind sect and dozens of other sects as well as the cao clan were in the region but still advancing. Now that only the thunderbolt temple controlled the region, it had yet to be developed by Cao Ming so Yang Xuan was enraged.
"Young Master, believe me. I was too afraid to protect this region so focused on practicing, I promised to develop this region with all the abilities I had and would not let the enemy roam around again in this region." Cao Ming continued to plead while holding Yang Xuan's foot.
"Well, I will hold your word, I give you one more chance because I respect you so much. Recover yourself, bury them properly, two more days we will attack the demon sword sect." Yang Xuan said firmly. He wanted to search for the demon controller first after it had only attacked the demon sword sect.
"Thank you, Young Master" Cao Ming said as he prostrated himself.

Black Mountain.
"What...?" Bright shining golden eyes stared at the mountain before him. Yang Xuan was shocked that the mountain before him had a barrier wall so strong in the form of black smoke that his golden eyes could not penetrate through it.
Yang Xuan had already gone back and forth several times around that vast black mountain to search for the stealth controller and search for the existence of the forbidden seal artevak. He was sure the demon controller was a seal master or illusion master and there was no possibility of having a stealth dimension so the temple group was having a hard time finding traces of him. He was also a little surprised why on the mountain there was no trace of a demon or a savage beast.
Yang Xuan went back and forth around the black mountain in search of the forbidden artevak. He didn't care if the demon controller was in the region or not. He suddenly recalled the words of the people in the northern sea city that the black mountain was a black hill. Only the temple group said the hill was a black mountain.
To the east of the black mountain, loud explosions continued all the time, the battle between the temple group and the black sea sect had already lasted several hours, the tremors from those explosions even to the black mountain made Yang Xuan astonished,
"Has the strength of the temple group been weakened so that destroying the black sea sect took several hours?" yang Xuan grumbled as he thought about what the difference of a black hill to a black mountain was. Why do older men in the black sea city call the black mountain a black hill. Though it is clear that the black hill is very high and not right if the name is black hill. Yang Xuan was convinced that the black mountain was a high-level artevak so it looked so real that even his golden eyes were unable to discern whether it was an illusion or not.
"What...? how could there be a demonic aura in the region of the black sea sect!" Yang Xuan felt a sinister aura emerge from the location of the temple group's battle with the black sea sect despite a few seconds. Yang Xuan was convinced that the demon that was the opponent of the temple group was indeed the demon-controlling pet. Although all he saw was a weak demon, he was sure the stealth operator had yet to unleash a powerful demon.
Yang Xuan missed towards the east of the black mountain to confirm it.

Hou Clan.
You are useless!" The Hou clan's chanted patriarch was furious when their alliance failed to execute a plan to take over the thunderbolt temple. He looked at the six remaining people who had suddenly appeared before him. He did not know how to perform his alliance so failed to infiltrate the lightning.
The six of them did not expect their failure to turn out to have a big impact on their alliance. Now not only them but their entire alliance was at a horn. Even the patriarch of the Hou clan had to destroy some of the surrounding materials.
"Not that we could not infiltrate the patriarch, we had just set foot in the wind valley city but our existence was already known by the temple. Cao Ming suddenly appeared and did not want our presence there." said one of the old men nervously.
"True patriarch, we had no chance to infiltrate, Cao Ming even balked at our presence there." The others continued trying to calm the anger of the Hou clan patriarch.
"really... " The patriarch of the Hou clan stared at them one by one and he could see no aura of lies. If it was true that what they said was still a problem, the problem for their alliance was that it had awakened a monster. They clearly knew that even the monster had never given a chance to the people who had cooperated with the demons.
Even the monster was far more powerful than the Ancestor of the Hou clan and the other clans who were already at the divine level and the heavenly level. So now the patriarch of the Hou clan thought of how the solution was to avoid the anger of the monster.
Although the reason they were right or wrong was no longer important, now the main problem was that they had completely failed to carry out the plan so as to wake up the monster again. Moreover, Cao Ming already knew a lot about the information of their whereabouts and the strength of their alliance. Now there were only two options after their plan failed, facing the monster to the point of its final blood and escaping to hide.
"You still want to find another reason, it's too late" said the Hou clan patriarch very angry at the failure of their plan.
Seeing the fury of the Hou clan patriarch, they were terrified as it turned out that the plan was very important for the continuity of their alliance. Now they realize they've awakened the real monster.
"Indeed the base is useless, finish them all." while raising his hand.
Hearing the words of the Hou clan patriarch and seeing the appearance of the high-level elders from the Hou clan, the instant the six of them prostrated themselves so that their lives would be released, they promised that they would not make any more mistakes.
Of course the patriarch of the Hou clan did not care anymore, they were left alive or dead it would not change anything. Right now their alliance was already on edge, the only way to survive was to hide for a while and then escape if the opportunity arose.

crashes
The heads of the six of them were detached from each other's bodies. They were killed by the high-level elders of the Hou clan, the bodies of the six of them were immediately thrown into the cages of wild animals to be made into food for the wild animals themselves.
Although the patriarch of the Hou clan killed him secretly and lost track. Naturally the patriarch of the demon blood clan and the demon sword sect knew their members still had managed to survive the battle in the thunderbolt temple. Before the six of them headed for the Hou clan, they first stopped by the demon sword sect and the demon blood clan.
"Gather all the clan members, we will be hiding for a while." the patriarch of the Hou clan ordered to all the elders of the Hou clan. He did not want the demon blood clan as well as the demon sword sect to suddenly appear in the Hou clan before Yang Xuan's appearance. The patriarch of the Hou clan was sure that the demon blood clan and the demon sword sect would know about it, even though he lost the evidence.
