They used Yang Ming's family to threaten him.
Yang Ming knew very well that based on these people's behavior, his family would have met with misfortune long ago.
Hence, he couldn't possibly speak.
These people used sorcery to forcefully separate Yang Ming's pet beast from his body and even sever his blood contract. With that, the heavily injured Yang Ming was no different from a cripple.
Later, Yang Ming fainted. He thought he was dead for sure, but when he woke up, he realized that he had been saved.
However, this could also be a ploy by the other party. Hence, after Yang Ming woke up, he remained silent and continued to observe.
Shang'er didn't know any of this. She asked for the other party's name, but when she saw the other party's silence, she wondered if there was something wrong with his brain. Shang'er didn't think too much about it. Since this person was awake, things would be easier. Shang'er went out for a while and returned with a fierce mountain tiger.
This tiger was quite unlucky. It was sleeping in the cave when it felt a strong gust of wind sweeping it up and landing outside the mountain god temple, causing it to see stars.
It got up and was about to unleash its dominance as the king of the mountain and roar. However, a slap landed on its face and the tiger immediately became obedient.
On the other side, Shang'er retracted her palm and stared at the ferocious tiger, "I can see that you have a bit of spirituality, so you should have developed some intelligence. You belong to the early stages of cultivation, so consider yourself lucky. Help me look after the person inside and don't let the other beasts hurt him. If anything happens, I will skin you alive."
Shang'er used a gentle tone to speak fiercely.
The tiger could obviously understand her. It was trembling in fear, thinking how unlucky it was. It was sleeping in the cave, so how could it expect trouble to fall from the sky?
It could smell the terrifying demonic energy from the woman in front of it. She might be small in size, but if they really fought, she could probably skin it alive in an instant.
Hence, the tiger quickly nodded in fear.
"I know cultivation isn't easy. If you do this well and I'm in a good mood, I might teach you some basic skills. If you don't, I'll use your bones to make wine."
After saying that, Shang'er immediately flew away like a fairy.
The big tiger looked at it enviously. It immediately reacted and thought to itself that this was an opportunity. At that moment, it did not feel that it was unlucky.
First, it poked its head into the Mountain God Temple to take a look and found a half-dead person lying on the ground, looking at it. The big tiger licked its lips, walked in, and lay at the side.
In fact, Yang Ming had heard everything that happened outside. He was surprised to see the tiger enter but as a Rank 4 beast appraiser, he had seen the world.
This tiger was indeed ferocious, and by the looks of it, it was already a rank two beast.
Among the wild beasts without a master, it was considered pretty good.
Most importantly, this tiger already had spiritual intelligence. It was obvious that it was exploring the path of cultivation. This was not strange. The world was vast, and there were many deep mountains. There were actually many ferocious beasts like this.
But what surprised Yang Ming was that the woman's means were actually so good. It only took a moment to go and return, and she actually caught such a fierce tiger.
Furthermore, he didn't even need a Blood Contract to make the other party listen to him. This method was incredible.
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Ming speculated that this woman should not be the group of people who harmed him, but he still needed to observe her.
On the other hand, Shang'er was a little disappointed to return to the manor after a day.
The manor had already been vacated.
Forget the people, even the corpses were gone. The manor had clearly been cleaned up and the bloodstains were wiped clean. It seemed like the people from the Demonic Appraisal Association were very decisive. They abandoned the place as soon as they realized it was attacked and left without a trace.
Shang'er sighed.
She had planned to capture Elder Ye and interrogate him, but it seemed like that wasn't going to work.
"I'm still too inexperienced." Shang'er was frustrated. Of course, she was only observing from afar and didn't enter the manor. At most, she could control a sharp sword and pass through the manor with her demonic aura.
Shang'er had been at a disadvantage against her enemies before, so she had learned to be smart.
If someone set up a trap here, she would be at a great disadvantage if she barged in recklessly.
Shang'er didn't return to the Mountain God Temple right away. Instead, she took a detour outside, afraid that someone would follow her.
When she returned, the big tiger immediately came up to her with a fawning expression.
Inside, Yang Ming was leaning against a pillar as he watched Shang'er walk in.
"Who are you?" Yang Ming asked. He could tell that this woman wasn't one of those people.
"Your savior," Shang'er replied coldly. She had failed to achieve her goal and lost track of the enemy. Now that she had lost track of the enemy, she would have to return to Maple City and continue waiting.
This obviously pissed her off.
She really wanted to look for Lin Jin, but now, she felt like this reason wasn't convincing enough.
Meanwhile, Yang Ming had figured out many things. Still, he was a smart man or else he wouldn't have become a Rank 4 beast appraiser.
"Yang Ming thanks you for saving my life. I hope you can help me with one more thing," Yang Ming said with a salute. However, Shang'er ignored him. Flicking her sleeve, she said, "I'm busy."
Yang Ming was humiliated but he continued, "Please escort me back to Tianxuan City. Once this is done, I will repay your kindness. This is very important to me."
He had to return. Firstly, he had left the token counter in one of Tianxuan City's residences. Secondly, he had a rough idea of who was trying to harm him so he had to report this to the academy.
"Why are you so annoying? I said I'm not …" Shang'er was in a bad mood so she blurted out instinctively. But halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized something.
"Wait, where did you say you're going?"
"Tianxuan City!"
Shang'er was overjoyed. Wasn't Master Lin at Tianxuan City? Perfect, perfect. I can use this as an excuse to go there. This way, Master Lin won't blame me.
Shang'er nodded. "Let's go now."
Yang Ming was speechless.
Shang'er was swift and decisive. Once she said she was leaving, she wouldn't waste a single second.
With a flick of her sleeve, a gust of black wind gushed out, sweeping Yang Ming and the big tiger into the air.
The reason why she brought the big tiger along was because Shang'er promised to teach it some cultivation methods. In addition, arranging for the big tiger to protect this person named Yang Ming was also a good idea.
His pet beast had been forcefully stripped away and his foundation was damaged. Even Shang'er could see that the possibility of this person forming a blood contract with another pet beast was very small.
It was almost impossible.
So, getting a tiger to follow him was a good deed.
Not long after Shang'er left with the big tiger and Yang Ming, a group of people arrived outside the mountain god temple. Some people controlled a beast to enter the temple and found no one. Then, a group of people rushed in.
The ones leading the group were Elder Ye and Zhou Weng. In addition, there were a few strange looking experts.
"They just left. Did they notice something?"
"Maybe. We didn't do a good job this time. Yesterday, I sent a letter to the Black Emissary to apologize. All of you are dismissed for now and wait for further instructions."
After Elder Ye finished speaking, the others nodded and immediately left.
Only Zhou Weng and Elder Ye were left.
The two looked at each other. The former said, "Elder Ye, who saved Yang Ming?"
Elder Ye shook his head. "It's hard to say now. The other party is very skilled. We still need Master Black Emissary to decide. Zhou Weng, let's go back together to apologize. I hope that Master Black Emissary will forgive us on account of our efforts."
After that, the two left immediately.
