Nighttime
The sun had already dipped beneath the horizon, signaling the end of evening.
Everything was still, everyone going on and on in their daily life, except for the three people just outside of the courtyard of Jiang He.
"Boys, Its time for *that*" one of the goon said, his smile curling up as the other two goon showed up beside him, equally matching his energy with crooked smiles.
"Hell yeah, it is!" The second goon chimed in.
"Haha yeah— let's do it."
With all three of them rejoicing the time it was, it was time for them to move.
And in the next moment, they disappeared from where they were previously standing, disappearing into the dark night with one goal— ending the cursed bastard known as Lin Tian.

Servant Courtyard
It was nighttime, every servant had already went inside their own room, sleeping peacefully without ever knowing what was happening in the courtyard they were in.
But suddenly, the air stiffed, the bushes around the courtyard slowly wiggled a bit, as if affected by somebody's speed.
And just then, on top of trees, three shadow loomed over, looking down on the sleeping ignorant servants with cold eyes.
But they didn't stay there for more than 2 second, their objective was clear and to do that, they reached onto the shack, the place also known as the room of the cursed one.
The room had no lock, a testament to how lin Tian was treated to be placed in a room with no lock, no security.
"Ah, our little lamb is sleeping so soundly!" One of the goon smiled with evil intention as he approached the soundly sleeping Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was sleeping on the floor, his one arm curled against his chest.
His face was still bruised, still a faint tint of redness.
A faint eye bag clung beneath his closed eyelids.
As all three of them were foundation establishment realm cultivators, no-one in the way to this place sensed them, maybe the elders, sect leader did but they didn't know their intention and it would be rude to call a disciple and stop them from their daily activities even if they were the elders.
"Keke! Let's make it quick! Even though I feel no pity or sadness for him, it's just pathetic to torture our punching bag that we've been using for so many days." One of the goons, who had a bit of sense of morality said, which made the other two nod their head in agreement.
And quickly enough, the first goon took out a silver white dagger from his robe, the dagger shining under the moon light coming from the window.
"Do it!" The third goon said, and without any hesitation, the first goon shoved the dagger into the brains of Lin Tian.
It was so sudden and fast that Lin Tian, who was sleeping didn't even felt anything.
No screaming, no twitching— NOTHING!
He died without ever opening his eyes, not knowing who killed him, for what reasons.
Bloods started spilling out of his head like a leaking tap— continuously as if he has a unlimited supply of blood.
"Alright, you— carry him, and you— clean this shit up! Use aqua Cleansing technique!" The goon that did the killing ordered, as the other two goon nodded their head— before getting to work.
"Yeah, yeah!" Both of them said in unison, but neither their tone nor their expression changed, as if what they're doing is just a daily life activity.
Then, one of the goon got closed to the dead body, before he grab him by his waist and then putting the dead body on his shoulder.
He then went outside of the shack, letting the other goon do the cleaning.
"Alright, it seems it's my turn to shine, heh!" The goon smirked, and in a pinch, he activated the Aqua Cleansing technique, a water Qi based technique that cleans up anything, dust, blood, water, making it as clean as it gets.
Qi gathered around his palm, before a burst of translucent light came out from his palm.
Shuaaa—
And the moment the translucent light faded, there was nothing!
No trace of blood, no trace of dust! As if it never existed.
"Heh!" Seeing his work, the goon let out a prideful humph before walking away.
***
"You done?" As soon as he came out of the room, the other two goon questioned him.
"Yeah, it was pretty easy since he didn't have anything, poor motherfucker lol!" He replied, his sarcastic remarks made the other two laugh but they quickly stiffen their laugh, as to not draw any unnecessary attention.
And with a swift movement, the three of them disappeared, their next motive? To bury the dead body in a quiet location.
They moved through the trees scattered around the sect, not even their shadow could be seen as they were using a spirit level movement technique, that basically enhance their speed by a lot, making it harder for ordinary people, and even those at the 1st level of foundation establishment to find it hard to keep track of their movement.
And in a matter of seconds, they had already left the sect, and arrived in a secluded place surrounded by huge trees. The sect was surrounded by a large forest, so it was pretty easy for them to discover such location.
"Oye, dig up a hole— let's get this done... I already wanna get to sleep!" One of the goon said to the other, yawning.
"I wanna sleep too!" The guy the goon told replied, yawning at the same time as it was pretty late.
Right after yawning, the goon got into action, his Qi surging as a 9 foot tall giant surged up from Literally nowhere.
"Earth Avatar Manifestation," the goon said with a smirk.
And right after materializing, it took out a large amount of mud from the ground, which resulted in a hole big enough to fit a person on the ground.
"Good work!" The goon praised with a smile to the giant, which smiled in return while making a sound—
"Gurrah!" It said something in it's own langauge.
"Good," the goon who told him to dug a whole nodded in satisfaction as he brought the dead body and threw it into the hole.
"Fill it up!" The goon who summoned the giant ordered, his eyes cold while looking at the dead body of the boy they used to bully.
'Dont blame us— it's your fate to die! From either our hands or from the others... Instead, be grateful we gave you a quick and silent death.' the goons thought as the giant filled him up with mud, making the hole disappear as if it never existed.
"Let's move! No point in staying."
"Yeah! Let's go, I wanna crash into my bed already, haha!"
"Yeah, me too" all three of them laughed, as all three of them went back to their room to sleep.
***
However, right after they went back, a streak of white light — moving at the speed of light hit the place where they had buried Lin Tian.
Right after that, Another streak of red light, faster than even the laws of this world could comprehend, crashed into the ground where Lin Tian's corpse lay buried.
