Late at night, the entrance to the Black Wind Cave.
A gust of eerie wind blew out of the black hole that was extremely painful to the skin. The wind whirled around the entrance and made a strange howling sound. It was like the ghosts of hell were crying to the living. The sound was so frightening that it made people’s hair stand on end.
“Are we really going inside?”
Bai Lingling, who was originally the most enthusiastic of them all, couldn’t help but shiver when she looked at the dark hole that was constantly emitting a cold aura. She then said in a soft voice, “Why don’t we go in during the daytime? It’s so dark right now, and it’s so dangerous inside…”
Luo Tian replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, I am here with you.”
Bai Xiong immediately smiled and said, “That’s right! With the boss here, everything is not a problem anymore.”
Lin Dong also looked like he was full of confidence, all because Luo Tian was present.
Luo Tian quietly let out a breath before saying, “Follow behind me later. It’s a bit complicated inside and easy to get lost. When I tell you to stop, you must stop. In short, do whatever I tell you without question.”
“Order received!”
“Of course!”
Right after that, the four entered the Black Wind Cave.
A few minutes later.
An Elder of the Ouyang family walked out of the darkness and muttered, “They entered the Black Wind Cave? Aren’t they afraid of death?”
“Third Uncle, should we follow them in?”
“That’s the goddamn Black Wind Cave! Listen to the eerie sound of the wind blowing. Just hearing it makes my legs shake. They’re definitely going in to look for death and can forget about coming out alive. Who in Towering Cloud City doesn’t know that the Black Wind Cave has a 90% mortality rate?”
Ouyang Wu’s face was a bit unsightly.
It was the same for the several elite disciples of the Ouyang family behind him.
It wasn’t just the Ouyang family. The disciples of the other three families were there as well with unsightly expressions on their faces.
Upon receiving the order from Ao Sheng, they immediately rushed over here.
They all knew how strong Luo Tian was, so when they saw him standing at the entrance to the Black Wind Cave, none of them rushed toward his group. They all wanted to see what Luo Tian was trying to do here.
When they saw him enter the Black Wind Cave, their expressions all changed in unison. They were filled with a collective doubt, “Isn’t this kid afraid of dying?”
The Black Wind Cave was a forbidden ground strictly off-limits!
Ouyang Wu’s face darkened as he didn’t want to enter the Black Wind Cave either. But when faced with Ao Sheng and the conditions he had set, he could only furrow his brows and look toward a certain dark area. He smiled and asked, “Li Yucheng, what do you think?”
A man emerged from the darkness with a smile and replied, “Ouyang Wu, what do you make of this? I just came to see where they were going and didn’t expect them to enter the Black Wind Cave. I don’t see a need to follow them. Can they even come back out alive?”
Ouyang Wu chuckled before saying, “I was thinking the same thing.”
Right after that, Ouyang Wu whispered to his nephew, “Tell Lord Ao about the situation here and see what he says.”
No one dared to enter.
It was the same with the other two families.
After half an hour, the messenger returned.
The command given was a death order!
Ouyang Wu frowned as he cursed up a storm inside his heart. He had no other choice and could only shout, “Enter!”
At the same time, the people of the other three families followed.
“Brother Li, Brother Deng, Brother Zhou; Since we’ve all received the same order from Lord Ao, that means our goals are the same. Why don’t we form an alliance so that we can help each other in the Black Wind Cave? What do you think?” Ouyang Wu asked.
The three of them looked at each other before nodding, “We can do that.”
“Hahaha…”
“This is the first time our four great families have formed an alliance!”
“If none of the Bai family disciples participate in this year’s Misty Cloud Academy selection, the Bai family’s influence will definitely plummet. At that time, there will no longer be five great families in Towering Cloud City and only four great families.”
“Hahaha… I agree with what you’ve said!”
The four great families formed an alliance.
There were a total of 60 disciples who had entered the Black Wind Cave, each family contributing 15 people. The lowest cultivation of these 60 people was the Condensation Element 3rd rank, while the Elders of the four families were all in the Martial Void realm. The collective strength of these people was many times stronger than Luo Tian and his group of four.
Most importantly, Luo Tian and his group didn’t know that they were being followed by 60 people. These 60 could be said to be the elite of the elite of the four great families in Towering Cloud City.
Who would dare to disobey Ao Sheng’s words? He was the person who decided who could go further in the selection exam of the Misty Cloud Academy!
The Li family, who were old friends of the Bai family, had to send out their best troops as well. Even brothers can betray each other in the face of enormous benefits.
A small troop of 60 people entered the Black Wind Cave.
When the four families finally decided to enter the Black Wind Cave, Luo Tian and his group were already fast approaching the deepest part.
Luo Tian suddenly stopped at a certain corner before warning, “Guard your heart. No matter what kind of voice you hear, don’t pay any attention to it. If you don’t guard your heart, you will lose yourself very quickly. At that time, even I won’t be able to save you.”
“Do you guys understand?”
The three nodded in unison. After seeing how serious Luo Tian was, they didn’t dare to lower their guard.
Luo Tian’s heart fluttered as he became scared just from recalling the voice filled with temptation. He guarded his heart, and slowed down his breathing, before walking forward one step at a time.
“Hahaha… I knew you would come back.”
“Who in the world can resist my temptation? Who can resist the temptation of the seven corpses of the powerful Honorable Emperors of the Black Wind Sect?”
The voice suddenly sounded off in Luo Tian’s mind. It sounded like it knew what Luo Tian wanted.
Luo Tian dared not relax in the slightest. He looked at the three people behind him, all of them with brows furrowed. He then said to himself, “It looks like the voice can see through people’s hearts and knows what each person is thinking.”
It was easy to tell from the expressions of those three.
What surprised Luo Tian was that Lin Dong’s expression was the calmest out of the three. It was as if the voice wasn’t a big deal to him.
It wasn’t because Lin Dong had a higher level of cultivation, but because he completely followed Luo Tian’s words and guarded his heart. Regardless of any external sounds or temptations, there was only one goal in his heart: the pinnacle of martial arts, and repaying his gratitude to the boss.
In the meantime, Bai Lingling’s cheeks flushed red, making her look especially adorable. She looked like someone falling in love for the very first time.
A surge of anxiety appeared in Luo Tian’s heart. He walked over to Bai Lingling and gave her butt a big slap, before shouting, “What are you thinking of?! You’re blushing like crazy! You’re not thinking about rolling in bed with me, are you?!”
Luo Tian put a lot of strength into the slap.
Bai Lingling’s little butt almost split open, and the pain was so bad that she almost broke into tears.
When she finally recovered, cold sweat broke out on her back. If it weren’t for Luo Tian’s slap, she really wouldn’t have known what the consequences would be. Thinking about the images in her mind just now made her cheeks turn red like a tomato.
The images in her mind were too disturbing, causing Bai Lingling to feel ashamed about it. It was fortunate that no one knew, or else she would really have to find a hole and hide inside of it.
