Three days later, more than fifty disciples of the Bai family left in batches, silently and unnoticed.
No one knew they were leaving.
It was as if they had evaporated into thin air.
Each person carried a different identity and a different mission. They only had two goals – to strive for the rise of the Bai family and to strive to become an extraordinary force of Luo Tians.
Luo Tian left behind five disciples in Boundless City. These five people had talents in management, cultivation, business, and various other fields.
Their purpose was to improve the economy of Boundless City.
As of now, Boundless City was their base, their stronghold, and their most solid backing.
They had to do a good job!
Boundless City, East Gate.
There was Luo Tian, Bai Xiong, Bai Lingling, Lin Dong, and two examiners from the Misty Cloud Academy.
The two examiners were never told about their group having passed the first round of assessments. Luo Tian wanted to conceal that information in hopes that their trip to the Misty Cloud City would be safer.
All this was because the Hai family possessed unimaginable power in the Central Continent.
Their claws were spread throughout the continent.
Luo Tian had to be on guard.
The four stood by the city gate, looking at the people who came to see them off. Many of them were shop owners from Boundless City, as well as the original guards. They all felt reluctant to see Luo Tian leave. If it weren’t for Luo Tian, they would still be exploited by Yin Wuliang. It was Luo Tian who gave them a glimpse of hope in their lives.
In these short three days, Luo Tian had become the most popular person in Boundless City.
Luo Tian waved to all of them and said, “We’ll be back soon.”
“Have a safe trip, Boss.”
“City Lord, you must come back.”
“City Lord, we will definitely protect Boundless City while you’re away.”
Bai Xiong smiled naively and said in a low voice, “Boss is really popular. Look at all these people seeing us off, and there are quite a few beautiful daughters of those shop owners, too. Look at their eyes; each one seems to want to marry the Boss.”
Lin Dong said with a smile, “It’s because he’s the Boss.”
As soon as Bai Xiong said those words, Bai Lingling glanced over and saw that there were indeed many pretty girls, eighteen or nineteen years old. She immediately walked to Luo Tian’s side, extended two fingers, and pinched Luo Tian’s arm. She twisted hard and said with a smile, “Which family’s girl do you have your eye on? Do you want me to introduce them to you?”
Luo Tian didn’t dare to cry out in pain and only gasped sharply, “My City Lord’s wife, how would I dare have such thoughts?!”
“Humph~!”
“You better not dare.” Bai Lingling said fiercely.
After her hand loosened, Luo Tian rubbed his arm hard, “Hiss~… you’re too ruthless. Are you trying to murder your husband?”
Bai Lingling smiled and replied, “If I’m not a little ruthless, how would you remember that I still exist?”
Chen Dongfeng saw that it was almost time, so he said, “City Lord Luo, it’s almost time. We should set off.”
Luo Tian replied with an “en~!”
Immediately after, he mounted his horse, pointed forward, and shouted, “Let’s head to Misty Cloud City!”
Towering Cloud City, the Deng family’s manor.
The Deng family has now become a gold level force family.
Moreover, they had just sent off a very important person today.
The Misty Cloud City’s platinum level force, the Lu family!
Lu Changjin, the eighth elder of the Lu family.
The Deng family had successfully become an affiliated force of the Lu family.
After seeing Lu Changjin off, Deng Leigong felt a sense of relief. He smiled leisurely and said, “Luo Tian, oh Luo Tian, my Deng family is now an affiliated force of the Lu family. Even if you become a student of the Misty Cloud Academy, you won’t dare to touch me.” 𝐫𝓪ΝỖΒÊS̈
“Moreover, the second round of the assessment is about to begin. I refuse to believe you won’t participate. As long as you dare to leave Boundless City, humph~! You won’t be far from your death then!”
“You killed my son, so I will absolutely never let you off!”
Deng Leigong was furious after learning about everything that happened in Boundless City. Thinking about his son being killed by Luo Tian, the hatred in his heart became extremely intense. He directly accepted the Lu family’s invitation without any hesitation.
Of course, besides the Lu family, he also accepted the invitation of the Four Seas Devil Sect.
With the protection of these two major forces, he was even more relaxed and complacent.
He didn’t believe that Luo Tian could still touch him!
He wanted the Deng family to stand tall in Towering Cloud City for ten thousand years!
Deng Leigong didn’t give the Boundless City news to the Lu family, nor did he ask the Lu family for direct help. However, he did ask the Lu family to keep an eye out on Luo Tian. If they happened to encounter him one day, it would be best to kill him. This was Deng Leigong’s only condition.
The Lu family naturally agreed.
The force he gave the news to was actually the Hai family!
He knew very well that the Hai family hated Luo Tian to the bone.
Hai Yulong’s hatred is even stronger because he is humiliated by Luo Tian.
Moreover, the Hai family’s next move definitely wouldn’t fail again. They failed in the assessment’s spatial dimension and failed in the chase in the Boundless Mountain Range. The current patriarch of the Hai family, Hai Tongtian, would absolutely not allow a third failure. This time, Luo Tian would be hard-pressed to escape death even if he had three heads and six arms!
Misty Cloud City, the Hai family.
Hai Yulong had just come out of seclusion.
In less than half a month, he had broken through to the Great Diffusion realm. It must be noted that his cultivation speed was quite a bit faster than your average talented individual.
Having a super grade talent was not just for show.
Just as he came out of seclusion, he happened to encounter someone sent by the Deng family to deliver a letter.
He happened to intercept it.
Hai Yulong opened the envelope, and the muscles in the corner of his eye twitched slightly. He then narrowed his eyes before revealing a sinister killing intent. He clenched his fists before saying to himself, “Luo Tian, next time, I will not lose to you. I will definitely make you kneel before me!”
Immediately after, he entered the Poseidon Pavilion.
This was where the Hai family issued tasks.
This was also where the Hai family disciples on the Poseidon rankings gathered.
Hai Yulong wasn’t there to issue a task but to find some people.
————–
Misty Cloud Academy, a certain gravity chamber.
Yi Yunmeng was drenched in sweat, and her clothes soaked through. This revealed her exquisite curves, a perfect and incredibly sexy figure. But this was contrasted sharply with the face marred by black spots.
The Black Dragon-scorpion King’s Poison!
She didn’t cover her face but cultivated frantically in the gravity chamber in order to break through.
However…
“Fuuu~… fuuu~… fuuu~…” She suddenly sat down upon reaching the limit of her body. She was gasping for breath with eyes filled with unwillingness.
“My body’s ability to endure is getting worse and worse, and my cultivation is regressing more and more!”
In this short half month, her cultivation had already regressed to the Martial Void 8th rank.
Moreover, her yuan energy was still constantly dissipating from her body. If she didn’t detoxify the poison soon, she wouldn’t be able to stop the regression of her cultivation, even with her innate super talent. In the end, she would become one of the lowest realm martial artists on this continent.
“No!”
“I cannot rest!”
“The more you want to see me suffer, the more I have to persevere!”
Immediately after, Yi Yunmeng stood up for what felt like the hundredth time. She had been frantically cultivating in the quadruple gravity chamber, constantly pushing her physical limits. Her yuan energy dispersed, and she could no longer sense the energy of heaven and earth. She could only continuously train her physical body so that her body could reach a realm where it would automatically absorb yuan energy.
However, reaching this realm was extremely difficult.
But every time she wanted to give up, the image of Luo Tian would appear in her mind, and she would try even harder. She couldn’t help but think to herself, “Luo Tian, will you really come to Misty Cloud City?”
