Chapter 1149: No Limits To Being Sinister (3 in 1)

The sun was setting over the western hills.

The sky gradually became dark.

There were only a few pedestrians at the city gates, and the guards were urging people from time to time to move along.

Boundless City was unlike other cities. At night, it would close its north gate, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. Now, there was less than half an hour before the gates closed. The pedestrians on the road quickened their pace so they could enter the city.

Luo Tian and his group weren’t walking that fast.

They didn’t know about this rule in Boundless City.

Of course, they were also too tired to walk fast. They wished they could just sit down on the ground and sleep for three days and three nights.

“Boss, look at these people. They’re all running so fast, like they’ve seen a ghost or something. Are they rushing to reincarnate or something?” Bai Xiong asked in puzzlement.

Luo Tian, of course, didn’t know the reason why. He merely smiled and replied, “Other people are running for their own reasons and have nothing to do with you. If you have the energy, you can run too if you want. Maybe they’re just doing some after-dinner running to lose some weight.”

Bai Xiong scratched his head and said, “I don’t even have the strength to walk now, let alone run. I just wish I could crawl into the city. These three days and three nights of trekking have exhausted me. My dantian is empty of yuan energy now. I feel even more miserable than when we were being chased by the Deng family into the Boundless Mountains.”

Indeed, it was the Deng family chasing them down last time.

They had been running non-stop. Under the stimulus of Luo Tian giving out elder positions, these Bai family disciples finally managed to escape into the Boundless Mountains. This time, the ones chasing them were not the Deng family but the Hai family, who were many times stronger.

After three days and three nights of continuous trekking, why would there be a trace of yuan energy left in their dantian?

Except for Luo Tian, everyone’s dantian was completely empty of yuan energy. It was as dry as cracked rice paddies! Right now, they needed time to rest, recuperate, and replenish their food supply.

Fortunately, there were still ten days until the second round of the Misty Cloud Academy’s selection exam. These ten days were enough for them to recover.

But it was best not to have any battles in these ten days and exhaust their yuan energy. Otherwise, it would definitely affect the results of the second round of selections.

Ever since they encountered Yin Feng’s team of guards at the foot of the Boundless Mountains, a bad premonition had been rising in Luo Tian’s heart. He felt that something was definitely waiting for them in Boundless City.

A passerby, hearing Bai Xiong’s words, couldn’t help but laugh mockingly and say, “It’s obvious you’re outsiders. You don’t even know the most basic rules of Boundless City. When the sun sets in half an hour, the city gates will close. Yet, you guys are still strolling along like you’re on holiday. You guys are definitely spending the night outside the city.”

After saying that, the passerby didn’t even wait for Bai Xiong to speak before he disappeared in a puff of smoke, not forgetting to shout, “Brother Guard! Brother Guard! There’s still one more here; wait for me!”

Boundless City was too close to the Boundless Mountains.

When night fell, it was the demonic beasts’ time to reign. Some foraging demonic beasts would occasionally come to the outside of Boundless City without any fear. In the past, when the city gates weren’t closed, demonic beasts would always break in, injuring many innocents. This was why the city gates would close at night now. Ɽ𝖆ɴÔBΕṣ

Luo Tian was dumbstruck.

If all fifty-plus members of the Bai family were to remain outside the city in the cold weather for another night, let alone recover their yuan energy, it would be good if they didn’t injure their bodies further. However, Luo Tian’s heart tightened when he looked at the listless Bai family disciples behind him who were struggling to walk. They were in no condition to run, and it was even more impossible for them to catch up with the last stragglers entering the city.

“We must enter the city to rest; otherwise…”

Their new talents had just been transferred over, and their bodies weren’t actually stable yet.

Niu Haishan instructed them that they needed to rest well after the talent transfer so that the transferred talents could fully integrate with the physical body. If they injure their yuan energy at this time, it would definitely affect the fusion of talent and damage the physical body.

Luo Tian’s brow furrowed as he said to himself, “I have to get them into the city.”

“Bai Xiong; Lin Dong…”

Bai Xiong and Lin Dong both shouted, “Present!”

Luo Tian then said, “You two take care of our brothers. I’ll go ahead and stall the guards at the city gate. I don’t want us to spend the night outside the city.”

Lin Dong immediately asked, “Boss, do you want me to go with you? I still have a bit of yuan energy left.”

Bai Xiong added, “I…I… although I don’t have any yuan energy, I still have a little strength. I can go with you too.”

Luo Tian smiled and said, “You two, stop trying to act tough. Just take care of the brothers for me. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be able to stall them.”

Luo Tian quickly jogged forward after saying that.

A few minutes later, Luo Tian, his face neither red nor panting, arrived at the north gate of Boundless City.

If they were talking about yuan energy, the amount of yuan energy Luo Tian had in his body was something even a peak Martial Void realm powerhouse couldn’t compare to.

The two guards looked at Luo Tian, who was staring at them. Their faces became annoyed, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and get inside. If you don’t get in, then stay out there!”

They were very fierce.

Upon seeing the symbols on their chests, there was no doubt they were guards of the Boundless City Lord’s Mansion.

Luo Tian was thinking to himself in surprise, “It seems like Boundless City is different from Towering Cloud City. It should be controlled by a single force. If a single force controls such a large city, then that force’s level must have reached at least the gold level in power.”

Luo Tian smiled and said, “Two brothers, could I ask how much time is left before the city gates close?”

One of the guards glared at Luo Tian and said impatiently, “It’s just a few minutes left. Stop with the babbling. Are you going in or not? If you’re not going in, then get lost, and don’t bother me. I want to finish work and go home to hug my wife.”

As the guard spoke, Luo Tian took out a money bag that he had prepared beforehand. The bag was filled with many xuan coins. He smiled gently and said, “Brothers, could you extend it by half an hour?”

There were at least a hundred xuan coins in the money bag.

For the two city guards, they wouldn’t be able to earn this much in a year.

Both of their eyes lit up.

Saliva dripped from their mouths.

One of the guards took the money bag from Luo Tian’s hand, snorted coldly, and said, “It’s not impossible for us to extend the time, but this little money is only enough for a ten-minute extension. If you want us to extend the closing of the city gates by half an hour, you’ll have to bring two more bags of xuan coins.”

Greed was human nature.

If the beams are not straight, the bottom rungs are bound to be crooked. If Yin Feng was like this, then the city gate guards would surely be the same.

Luo Tian then took out two more bags of xuan coins and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you two brothers.”

The two guards quickly took the xuan coins.

The two guards were overjoyed from their newfound wealth, but they still pretended to be superior, coldly saying, “We’re already violating Boundless City’s rules by extending the closing time by half an hour. It’s only because of these xuan coins. Otherwise, we wouldn’t extend the closing time for a country bumpkin like you.”

Luo Tian smiled and said, “Yes, yes, yes.”

For the sake of the Bai family disciples, so what if he had to swallow his pride?

If he was alone, he wouldn’t bother to be this humble.

Luo Tian then looked at the crowd in the dim distance, worried that something might happen. He said to the two guards, “I’ll be right back.”

“Go ahead.”

“Since we’ve taken your money, we’ll definitely extend it by half an hour. We still have that much credibility. But let me make it clear: if you’re not here within half an hour, then don’t blame us,” one of the guards said sternly.

Extending the closing of the city gate by half an hour wasn’t a big deal.

In recent years, there hadn’t been any attacks by demonic beasts, so they had quite a lot of power in their hands. They could control the closing time of the gates as long as it wasn’t too late.

Luo Tian smiled and said, “We’ll definitely make it!”

Half an hour was enough time.

They only had less than 500 meters left.

Having said that, Luo Tian rushed back to the group.

Watching Luo Tian’s figure disappear into the distance, the two city guards grinned from ear to ear. “Hahaha… that idiot actually gave us so much money. He must have shit for brains. I was kind of shocked when he took out that bag of xuan coins.”

“You were shocked just by that? If it weren’t for what I said, we would have only split that one bag of money. Now we have three bags, hahaha…”

“This is great!”

“We wouldn’t be able to make this much in two years, hahaha…”

“We’re rich! Tonight, we have to go out for a good drink!”

Right at that moment, there was a gentle cough from the top of the city gate.

The two guards looked up, and their expressions changed drastically. They immediately knelt down and said, “Greetings, City Lord.”

Yin Wuliang, dressed in black, was followed by several guards with strength above the Martial Void realm.

Yin Wuliang said coldly, “Close the city gates and hand over the ill-gotten gains you just received.”

The two guards didn’t dare to ask any questions and immediately did as they were told.

Yin Wuliang had been waiting for Luo Tian at the city gate tower for a while.

He didn’t recognize Luo Tian, but Deng Wumu did.

So when Luo Tian appeared, Deng Wumu pointed him out to Yin Wuliang. Yin Wuliang wanted to rush down the city wall at that moment and kill Luo Tian with one palm strike, but he suddenly changed his mind and didn’t want Luo Tian to die so easily. He wanted to play with him slowly, to toy him to death.

The instant Luo Tian was out of sight, he immediately appeared and ordered the guards to close the city gates.

“Clank~, clank~, clank~…”

A series of loud sounds came from the chains moving the stone gate.

Luo Tian was instantly dumbstruck. Watching the stone gate slowly close, he gave a bitter laugh, “Damn it, I was stupid enough to believe them!”

The feeling was very unpleasant when you realized you had fallen for a scheme.

Bai Xiong instantly cursed out, “Damn it! Taking our money and not doing the job! You just wait until tomorrow! If I see you two, I will definitely kill you two bastards!”

Lin Dong then asked, “Boss, what do we do now?”

Bai Lingling also walked over anxiously and said, “Some of the disciples have already fainted. If we don’t find a place to rest, they definitely won’t be able to hold on. Camping out in this wilderness will have a great impact on their health.”

Luo Tian was very clear about this.

When looking at the city gate not far away, Luo Tian’s brows were tightly furrowed. “Let’s go take a look first. See if we can get someone to open the gate.”

There was no other way.

The walls of Boundless City were several tens of meters high. With Luo Tian’s current cultivation, it was impossible for him to climb up. He couldn’t fly with his yuan energy either. Even if he were able to fly up to the city walls, it wouldn’t be of any use if he couldn’t bring anyone with him.

What Luo Tian didn’t know was that without the city lord’s order, no one would dare to open the gates.

Ten minutes later, Luo Tian led the fifty-plus people to the base of the city gate and shouted loudly, “Brother Guards, it’s me! Half an hour hasn’t passed yet! Why did you close the city gate?”

“Hahaha…”

“Hahaha…”

“Hahaha…”

Suddenly, a series of arrogant laughter echoed down from the city gate tower. Yin Wuliang, his eyes full of mockery, said with a smile, “I know it is you who paid the guards. Otherwise, why would I have closed the city gates early?”

Luo Tian didn’t recognize him. He then said, “Why is that? We don’t seem to know each other, and you wouldn’t benefit from targeting me either. Open the city gates and let us in. How about I give you a thousand xuan coins for it?”

If money could solve the problem, then it was no problem at all.

Even if he had to take out ten thousand xuan coins, Luo Tian would do it without hesitation.

His brothers were already exhausted. If they didn’t find a good place to rest, they definitely wouldn’t make it.

Yin Wuliang didn’t say anything, but another person leaned over and looked at Luo Tian. There was a sinister sneer on his face as he said, “Luo Tian, you should know who I am, right?”

Luo Tian looked at the speaker but didn’t know Deng Wumu’s name. But his face did look a little familiar as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Bai Xiong walked over to Luo Tian’s side with eyes blazing in anger. He then shouted, “Deng Wumu! Get down here, you bastard!”

Upon hearing Bai Xiong’s words, Bai Lingling immediately rushed over with killing intent. She wished she could fly up and pierce Deng Wumu with ten thousand arrows right now!

One of Deng Leigong’s sons.

One of the murderers of their father.

Seeing their enemy, those two naturally became exceptionally enraged!

Luo Tian’s heart sank. He understood why someone had been waiting for them at the foot of the Boundless Mountains. It turned out Deng Leigong had long known that they wanted to cross the Boundless Mountains and enter Boundless City. So, he had sent people to wait for them in Boundless City.

The flames of anger in Luo Tian’s heart began to rise.

They had already been forced into such a pathetic state, yet these guys still wouldn’t let go!

They had even set up an inescapable net in Boundless City to wait for them!

At this moment, the killing intent in Luo Tian’s heart became incredibly intense. “Deng Wumu, right? If you can still make it back to Towering Cloud City alive, please give a message to your father. Tell him that I, Luo Tian, will sooner or later fuck over all eighteen generations of your Deng family ancestors!”

His anger had reached a boiling point.

They were forced to risk death by entering the incredibly dangerous Boundless Mountains.

Yet they still wouldn’t let them go and continued to try and destroy them.

This hatred…

This grudge…

If Luo Tian didn’t avenge this, then he wouldn’t be Luo Tian!

At this moment, Luo Tian’s hatred for the Deng family was even more intense than his hatred for the Hai family. He just wished he could immediately turn around, recross the Boundless Mountains, and return to Towering Cloud City to obliterate the Deng family. He never expected that the Deng family would still not let them go. If he had known this…

“Damn it, I should have used the transformation card to kill them back then!”

Deng Wumu was smiling.

He had a smug smile hanging on his face as he said, “Luo Tian, I advise you to stop wasting your energy. You think a piece of trash like you can shake my Deng family? I don’t think you’ll even see the sun tomorrow.”

Immediately after, Deng Wumu added, “Uncle Wuliang, this is the guy who killed your nephew. We can’t let him live to see tomorrow’s sunrise.”

Yin Wuliang smiled coldly and said, “He is definitely going to die. Since that brat dared to kill my nephew, he should be prepared to die. However, just killing him like that would be too boring. Do you see that group of people behind him? They are all like stray dogs, without a trace of yuan energy left in their bodies. If they don’t find a quiet place to rest and recuperate, their bodies definitely won’t be able to take it.”

“Look at the damp and desolate grounds and the freezing cold weather. This is just perfect!”

“Hahaha…” Yin Wuliang laughed sinisterly after saying that.

Deng Wumu also laughed after hearing it. “Hahaha… brilliant, simply brilliant! Uncle Wuliang, your move can make that piece of trash, Luo Tian, lose his men without firing a single arrow! Let him watch his brothers become useless just like him! Hahaha… This move is so incredibly satisfying! Hahaha…”

Laughter.

The two of them laughed like crazy.

“Motherfucker!”

Bai Xiong’s anger soared into the sky while his clenched teeth made cracking sounds. He then shouted, “Deng Wumu, get down here, you bastard! I’ll fight you one-on-one!”

Deng Wumu said disdainfully, “You? A piece of trash like you wants to fight me one-on-one? Are you even qualified?”

Yin Wuliang also mocked, “One-on-one? What era are you living in? Still talking about fighting one-on-one? You’re just a child. If you want to fight one-on-one, then try flying up here! If you can’t fly up here, then be a good little dead dog down there.”

“Hahaha…”

The two of them started laughing like crazy again.

Bai Xiong was pissed off.

Bai Lingling was pissed off.

Luo Tian was even more pissed off.

The fifty Bai family disciples behind him were the same. They were extremely pissed off. Each of them stood up straight, their eyes bloodshot, and they stared intently at the two people on top of the city gate.

“Look at them; they are really like dogs.”

“Someone, come!”

“Throw a few bones down, and don’t let our watchdogs go hungry. Hahaha…” Yin Wuliang said with a hearty laugh.

Briefly after, a few guards threw down some bones.

Because they couldn’t dodge in time, several of the weaker Bai family disciples were hit, and their heads started bleeding.

Rage soared into the sky!

Luo Tian was super pissed off!

After being insulted to this degree and being forced to this degree, his fists clenched tighter and tighter as he constantly calculated the height of the city gate and the maximum height he could reach.

Bai Lingling pulled on Luo Tian’s arm and said, “Don’t be impulsive. Please don’t be impulsive. If you go up there alone, you definitely won’t be a match for those two. The Boundless City Lord’s cultivation broke through to the Great Diffusion realm ten years ago. You are no match for him.”

Bai Lingling knew quite a bit about the surrounding cities.

Luo Tian’s fists remained clenched. Let alone the Great Diffusion realm; even if it was the Myriad Illusion realm, he’d kill them the same if they pissed him off. So what if he had to use up a transformation card?

Luo Tian really wasn’t a person to take this kind of shit.

His current cultivation level was still at the Martial Void 4th rank.

At this level, he didn’t have the ability to charge up a city wall that was tens of meters high.

If he could reach the Martial Void 6th rank, he believed he could easily run up the wall. Then…

Bai Lingling was afraid that Luo Tian would act impulsively, so she said anxiously, “They’ll definitely open the city gates tomorrow during the day. We can endure for one more day.”

“Boss, we can still hold on!”

“Yeah, so what if it’s freezing and we’re starving? If we can’t even endure this bit of suffering, how are we going to avenge the old patriarch?”

“Boss, we just need to make it through tonight.”

If they survived the night, would this whole thing be over?

Of course not!

Yin Wuliang wouldn’t let them go so easily.

At this moment, Yin Wuliang smiled coldly and said, “Nephew Wumu, would you like to see a Beast Soul Lure?”

As he spoke, several guards were carrying a large wooden bucket over. The bucket was filled with pungent-smelling spiritual herbs.

Deng Wumu was briefly stunned before asking, “Uncle Wuliang, what is this Beast Soul Lure?”

Yin Wuliang smiled sinisterly and replied, “This is a spiritual herb that can attract demonic beasts. As long as the demonic beasts within a thousand kilometers smell the scent of this herb burning, they will come rushing over as if they’ve lost their mind. Then…”

Luo Tian’s heart tightened, and cracking sounds could be heard from his teeth clenching together.

Too sinister!

This guy wanted to use demonic beasts to kill them!
