Chapter 107: The Great Harmony Tomorrow
"What should we do? Right now, we’re only in a latent phase. Wanting to challenge the noble families without enough power is simply seeking death."
The crystal flames surrounding Yun Ye’s figure faded, revealing his true self.
Tong Huo Yang’s eyes went wide.
This person!
Yang Shi?
"It’s you! Your target… is me! Why? We have no grievances or grudges!"
Shi Baiyan gasped, recognizing Yun Ye, the boy who had smiled at him before the mission.
He had found it strange and had even investigated it. In the end, he discovered that Yun Ye had no connection to him and was not an enemy fleeing.
For years, nothing went wrong, so he stopped worrying about it.
But today, seeing Yun Ye’s face, his memories surged back, and a chilling sensation lingered in his heart!
"No grievances or grudges? In reality, is that truly the case? The land, resources, and knowledge of Baishi Town are all held by you; as a newcomer, if I don’t want to become a slave, I must have grievances with you."
Yun Ye sighed.
"Senior, this has nothing to do with me. I’m just an insignificant pawn, merely doing the dirty work. Compared to those noble families, I have nothing. If you’re seeking revenge, go after those great families; their crimes are too many to count!"
Shi Baiyan pleaded loudly, but Yun Ye remained indifferent. His heart sank, and he glanced at Tong Huo Yang, compelled to make the most drastic choice: "Senior, let me join you. Since Tong Huo Yang can join you, I should be able to as well, right? I’m willing to serve you with my life!"
"Join us? It seems I haven’t made our organization’s nature clear enough and has given you false hope. In truth, our main goal is to settle accounts with the old world and topple all injustices. Though this is merely an ideal and impossible to achieve completely, it doesn’t prevent me from doing what I can."
Yun Ye said lightly, "Tong Huo Yang, this man before you is the enemy who killed your father and slaughtered your village. Killing him will serve as your token of joining us."
He raised his hand and hurled the Nether Fire towards Tong Huo Yang, suppressing the Spirit Law chains.
Tong Huo Yang had already made her decision; she drew her sword and thrust it into Shi Baiyan’s chest, flames exploding.
This strike nearly incinerated Shi Baiyan, but he broke free from the Spirit Law’s constraints, his expression twisted as he grasped the sword’s blade, desperately suppressing the flames with his spirit energy.
"Boom!"
Tong Huo Yang executed a high kick, sending Shi Baiyan flying upward.
Relying solely on his willpower, this kick made Shi Baiyan completely lose control of his spirit energy. In mid-air, the spirit fire on the Spiritual Sword burned a large hole in him, nearly scorching his internal organs.
He fell to the ground, unable to spit out anything, pointing weakly at Tong Huo Yang, "Just some kindling…"
Flames engulfed him, consuming Shi Baiyan.
The cycle of karma is profound.
Eighteen years later, the tides have turned—how exhilarating!
"Senior Yang, since Shi Baiyan is to die, what about Tong Kun? I wouldn’t mind making the token of joining even more convincing."
Tong Huo Yang glanced at Tong Kun, who lay quietly on the ground, her intent to kill quite evident.
Compared to Shi Baiyan, she despised Tong Kun, being part of the direct lineage.
She had long known she had been forcibly brought into the Tong family by Tong Yuan, but without childhood memories, no additional emotions were stirred up. Whether Shi Baiyan had killed her parents was of no concern to her.
However, as a direct descendant, Tong Kun had continually robbed her of resources and wanted to make her a concubine, draining her strength to raise a powerful next generation.
If it weren’t for the imminent great disaster, the Tong family would need enough Spiritual Law masters. She would have already become a breeding machine like other talented women, exhausting her vitality until she died for her children.
"I leave him alive to interrogate for knowledge. As for who kills him… no, let me handle that."
Considering that Tong Kun was a direct descendant of the noble family, Yun Ye did not let Tong Huo Yang take action.
He replicated the method, using Nether Fire to destroy the Spirit Law chains.
He quickly extracted the information controlled by Tong Kun.
"What kind of fire is this? It can actually destroy Spirit Law?"
Tong Huo Yang stared in shock at the scene.
The Nether Fire, as a soul-based Extreme Flame, was truly terrifying, having a clear advantage over the Spirit Law chains.
As long as it wasn’t a Spirit Law that exploded the head instantly, it would be prevented.
The reason was simple.
The Spirit Law chains created by Qi Lian only had a restraining effect; once triggered, they would surface on the body and lock it in place. In such cases, as long as the Nether Fire was used to block them before they exerted force, it could render such restraints ineffective.
By the time Yun Ye consumed the Spiritual Herbs, the Spirit Law chains would be unable to judge. Even if the Nether Fire were removed afterward, they would not trigger again.
This was the basis that allowed Yun Ye to gradually erase the Spirit Law chains.
Similarly, the Spirit Law that restrained clan members from revealing secrets worked this way; it wasn’t possible to make it explode with a single interrogation, as that would create a fatal weakness. Once the opponent had Spirit Law, they could trigger the oath and achieve a quick kill.
Usually, oaths were divided into three levels. The initial trigger was defensive, not allowing interrogation.
The deep trigger caused a sharp pain in the head, interrupting the interrogation or allowing a way to escape from Spirit Law control.
If it remained ineffective at this point, it would indicate an essential difference in strength, resulting in the explosion of the head, severing the information at its source.
During the first two stages, Yun Ye could use the impenetrable Nether Fire to block and render the Spirit Law chains completely ineffective.
Moreover, after gaining the Nether Fire, he could adjust and create the unique Immortal Flame.
This meant he could burn the soul directly, allowing the Nether Fire to penetrate the body and clear the Spirit Law.
This tactic was something the Spiritual Law practitioners of Baishi Town couldn’t possibly fathom; it exceeded their understanding.
Interrogating Tong Kun indeed granted Yun Ye numerous gains.
Even though Tong Kun was easily killed by Yun Ye, he actually possessed half of the Tong family’s practices.
The Metal Element practices were useless to Yun Ye but could be recorded as foundational knowledge!
He did not miss the various other insights and listened to them all, which was a valuable gain.
Furthermore, Tong Kun also had a spatial artifact, a cube of four cubic meters filled with various Spiritual Herbs, another remarkable resource.
After wrapping up everything, Yun Ye handed a Halo Book to Tong Huo Yang.
"This is a communication tool for the organization. During the latent phase, develop your own connections without needing to rendezvous," Yun Ye said.
Tong Huo Yang nodded, silently learning how to use it, her Halo Book named ‘Notebook.’
As his daughter from a previous life, even without recognition, Yun Ye treated her well.
Considering the time Tong Huo Yang had joined the group, she must have taken part in the slaughter of various villages, committing heinous acts. However, this clearly could not be a reason for Yun Ye to abandon her.
In reality, surviving in the cracks of society and treating captives kindly to transform enemies was a fundamental operation; otherwise, the number of followers would dwindle.
Tong Huo Yang had been brainwashed from a young age. Although the noble families were enemies, she had to serve them. If she did not abandon the darkness for the light, who would?
Blaming everything on the noble families was the right approach; Tong Huo Yang could atone for her past actions.
After all, Yun Ye could not impose the idea of fearing death on everyone…
In this world, the price of choosing freedom was death.
After passing the information about Tong Huo Yang to Yang Shu and his wife, as well as Wang Yao, Yun Ye prepared to head to the Stone Tablet.
With the Nine Bone Spiritual Body complete, he was ready to continue challenging the Thunder True Feather.
"Senior Yang Shi, what is the name of our organization?"
As Yun Ye moved forward, Tong Huo Yang remembered this crucial detail and casually asked.
Yun Ye was taken aback.
Indeed, he had not thought of a name for the organization yet. As a secret organization, the name was undoubtedly very important.
It should reflect the organization’s principles and ideally carry some depth.
"Our organizational philosophy is to clear the old world. It’s likely we will labor for many years without any hope or reward… doesn’t that sound like the sun? Rising in the east and setting in the west, illuminating the world, it doesn’t demand payment from us like the noble families."
"So, our organization derives its name from the sun, from eternal hope, thus… we are ‘Tomorrow.’"
"Tomorrow will bring the great harmony of tomorrow!"
"The great harmony of tomorrow—?"
Tong Huo Yang chewed on the words, and somehow, an extraordinary spirit emerged within her.
Just saying those few words stirred her emotions; this was the charm of language.
It truly made one feel…
Unequivocally clear!
