Boundless Mountain Range.
It was one of the ten most dangerous forbidden grounds in the Central Continent.
It was extremely dangerous.
When Luo Tian’s voice faded, even Bai Xiong’s expression went taut.
Lin Dong’s face faintly paled before whispering, “Boss, the Boundless Mountains are much more dangerous than other mountain ranges. The demonic beasts there are exceptionally strong. I’m afraid with our cultivation bases, we won’t even be able to survive the outer periphery of the mountains. If that’s the case…”
Everyone’s faces were ashen.
They all knew about the dangers of the Boundless Mountains.
The Boundless Mountains were a living hell to the martial artists of Towering Cloud City. Even experts at the peak of the Martial Void realm wouldn’t go there.
Luo Tian learned about it after going through the Central Continent’s basic information.
The Boundless Mountain Range was filled with demonic beasts.
Moreover, there was once a force called the Boundless Sect there. The entire sect was somehow demonized, becoming killing machines inside the mountain range. They had lost all awareness and killed whoever they saw. This might be the most dangerous aspect of the place.
But Luo Tian had no other choices.
Entering the mountains was the only way out for them. If the people from the four great families catch up, all the people here will die. It was better to enter the Boundless Mountains and take their chances there than to die at the hands of the people from the four great families.
As long as they cross a portion of the Boundless Mountains, they will be able to reach Boundless City. The Bai family can catch their breath there. More importantly, Boundless City was less than a thousand kilometers from Misty Cloud City. Since he had promised Bai Qi to bring the Bai family onto the path of becoming a gold level force, this was his only option.
They will start their rise in Misty Cloud City!
Luo Tian spoke in a calm tone, “The Boundless Mountains are indeed dangerous, but they are much better than the four great families from the city. If you stay, they will only completely wipe you out. So, I hope that everyone can enter the Boundless Mountains with me. Once we enter the mountain range, they will not dare to pursue us further.”
“Naturally, I won’t force any of you because I cannot absolutely guarantee your safety in the mountains. Those unwilling can leave, but those who stay must listen to my commands. Otherwise, you might as well leave the family now.”
Luo Tian had to establish his authority.
“I have no intention of following you into the Boundless Mountains to die. I will leave the Bai family. The four great families won’t kill me after I’ve left the Bai family, right?”
“I’m leaving too. The Boundless Mountains are too dangerous. I have never heard of anyone who has gone in and come out alive. Luo Tian, you’re just a martial artist in the Condensation Element realm. What ability do you have to lead us through the Boundless Mountains? I have absolutely no trust in you.”
“I will stay. I believe in Luo Tian.”
“I’m staying too. My advice to those brothers who want to break away from the family is don’t think that once you leave the Bai family, the four great families will let you off. They will definitely kill you and not let any Bai family disciples off as a precaution.”
“I’m also staying.”
“I’m going to leave.”
Some were staying, and some were leaving.
Out of the 96 elite Bai family disciples, only 50 of them decided to stay.
This was actually a bit more than what Luo Tian estimated.
These people were staying because they admired the unimaginable strength that Luo Tian was about to display several times. They believed that he had a way out of this situation.
Luo Tian didn’t try to convince those who were leaving to stay behind. He actually felt the fewer people going into the Boundless Mountain Range, the better. The more people there were, the harder it would be for him to take care of them. Luo Tian looked at the disciples who were leaving and said, “It is best that you guys don’t go back into the city. While the people from the four great families aren’t hunting you down, you should leave Towering Cloud City as soon as possible. Otherwise, you guys will definitely die here.”
“Humph~!”
“Luo Tian, we are no longer members of the Bai family, so you should mind your own business. Go take care of yourself instead.”
“That’s right. Who do you think you are? I really don’t understand why so many people are following you to their death.”
“Let’s go, everyone! We can seek refuge with Elder Bai Kong. He will definitely accept me since I was his eldest disciple. Everyone can come with me.”
Luo Tian shook his head with a bitter smile.
He was too lazy to bother with it.
Luo Tian looked at the fifty disciples who remained. Including himself, Bai Xiong, Lin Dong, and Bai Lingling, there were a total of 54 people. Looking at each of their unfamiliar faces, Luo Tian clenched his fists and promised himself, “I will definitely bring you all to the top. Uncle Bai, please be rest assured. A gold level force is not my goal. My goal is to surpass a king level force, where the entire world will tremble at the mention of our name!”
“Set off for the Boundless Mountains!”
Bai Xiong waved his hand and shouted, “Let’s go!”
Around this time, a loud shout came from somewhere in the city. “Luo Tian, you damn dog thing! Let’s see where you can escape to!”
Luo Tian furrowed his brow as he said to himself, “Not good.”
Bai Xiong looked at Luo Tian and asked, “Boss, what should we do?”
Lin Dong ran over, filled with fighting spirit.
Luo Tian replied without hesitation, “Full speed to the Boundless Mountains. They won’t dare to chase us once we enter deeper.”
Bai Xiong immediately relayed the command, “Full speed forward!”
The 46 disciples who had broken away from the Bai family were overjoyed to see that the leader was Bai Kong, the ex-second elder of the Bai family. The disciple in front immediately ran ahead like he was meeting his ancestor, shouting, “Master, master, master!”
There were five of the ex-Bai family elders beside Bai Kong, and his expression changed from those shouts.
He was the vanguard in chasing after Luo Tian. When he saw a group of Bai family disciples, some of whom were actually his own personal disciples, he uttered, “It looks like Luo Tian doesn’t have everyone’s support. Brother Deng, these people are mostly my personal disciples…”
Before he could finish speaking, Deng Huolei shouted, “Spare no one! Kill them all!”
The expressions of Bai Kong and the ex-Bai family elders around him instantly changed. “Brother Deng, they are my personal…”
Deng Huolei interrupted him again, calling out his full name, “Bai Kong! Can you guarantee that none of them is a spy for Luo Tian? Can you guarantee none of them have thoughts of avenging their patriarch? You should understand the principle where an ant hole can eventually break down a flood embankment, right?”
The face of the lead disciple instantly paled before he knelt down and said, “Elder Deng! We absolutely have no second thoughts! We have completely severed our ties with the Bai family! We are no longer members of the Bai family!”
Deng Huolei harrumphed, too lazy to even look at them. He then said, “Isn’t your appearance here to help Luo Tian buy time to escape? Bai Kong, will you do it yourself, or do you want my men to do it? Luo Tian is right in front of us. If we let him get away today, neither you nor I will be able to bear that responsibility.”
Deng Leigong was already raging.
If the news of the Heavenly Soul Capturing Pill is leaked, what he will be facing is all the orthodox sects of the world. The Deng family was not even comparable to an ant when facing off against these powerful sects.
Bai Kong revealed a painful expression before saying, “Kill!”
Deng Huolei smiled faintly and whispered, “At least you understand the big picture. Since you are unable to make a move yourself, I will do it for you. Deng family disciples, listen up! Kill them all and spare not a single one!”
“Brother Bai Kong, you go ahead and chase after Luo Tian. I will take care of these mongrels first before catching up. Remember to delay him and not let them escape.”
“Once they escape into the Boundless Mountains, it will be difficult for us to catch them!”
