Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Chapter 1073: Targeting Luo Tian

Chapter 1073: Targeting Luo Tian

Towering Cloud City, a branch of the Misty Cloud Academy.

“Trash!”

“Trash!”

“A bunch of useless trash! I have no clue what kind of crap you people from the four great families of Towering Cloud City eat! You have so many people chasing after a single person, yet you still lost track of him? Did you guys not understand my words? I told you that no matter where he goes, you guys have to follow him! You bunch of useless trash! Getting scared by a mere cave? What use are you guys to me?!” Ao Sheng was furious as he shouted at them.

In front of him, kneeling, were the patriarchs of the four great families of Towering Cloud City.

Those four were trembling in fear with an ugly look on their faces. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of Ao Sheng’s anger.

Once upon a time, they were the overlords of Towering Cloud City. Who would dare speak to them like that?

However, their family’s power was only at the silver level, so they couldn’t afford to offend even a chore disciple from the Misty Cloud Academy, let alone a small steward.

Deng Leigong said meekly, “My Lord, it’s not like we didn’t chase after him. The disciples of our four families all chased after Luo Tian’s group, but everyone who came back alive looked like they had lost their minds. The Black Wind Cave has been a forbidden place in Towering Cloud City since ancient times, with a death rate of nine out of ten. The disciples of our four families all have higher cultivation realms than Luo Tian. Even if he is exceptionally talented, he won’t be able to hold out for long in there. He’s definitely going to die inside.”

“That’s right! That’s right!”

“Not many can come out alive from the Black Wind Cave. My Lord, there’s no need to worry about it.”

“I believe the kid has turned into a pile of bones by now.”

The other three patriarchs immediately chimed in.

However, Ao Sheng’s anger didn’t subside in the slightest, and he became more fierce. He glared at Ouyang Lie before giving him a heavy kick. “I don’t care if he lives or dies! I want the divine sword he has! You guys don’t seem to understand a thing!”

“Bang~!”

Ouyang Lie didn’t dare to resist, so the kick sent him flying out of the courtyard before smashing into the ground. His chest bones had cracked, his face was pale, and fear assaulted his heart. He didn’t even dare to make any painful cries.

Originally, Ao Sheng was going to move against Deng Leigong. However, Deng Leigong used to be a student of the Misty Cloud Academy, so his status was higher than the other three patriarchs.

Luo Tian’s life or death did not concern Ao Sheng in the slightest.

What he wanted was the Heavenly Sword in Luo Tian’s possession. The reason he sent someone to keep an eye on Luo Tian was that he didn’t want Luo Tian to leave his surveillance. At the same time, he wanted the disciples of the four great families to test and see if Luo Tian was really as powerful as everyone had been saying. Even a peak Martial Void expert wasn’t his match?

What he never expected was this outcome.

The disciples of the four great families entered the Black Wind Cave, and their yuan energy was devoured very quickly. Most importantly, they somehow walked into the depths of the Black Wind Cave without any defense, causing mental demons to appear inside their hearts.

Less than ten disciples out of sixty-something came out alive.

These were the elites of the four great families. For the sake of their survival, they didn’t dare to send anyone else in.

When Ouyang Lie was beaten, the three patriarchs immediately lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak.

Ao Sheng sighed heavily while his body sagged. “Is the Black Wind Cave really as terrifying as you say? Barely anyone who enters can come out alive?”

Deng Leigong replied, “That’s right. The Black Wind Cave is a forbidden area of our Towering Cloud City. It’s a place where we sentence death row prisoners to. No one has ever escaped from there except for Bai Qi. I heard the reason he was able to escape was because the Scorching Sun Poison in his body resisted the effect of the Black Wind Cave’s yin wind, which devours a person’s yuan energy. Luo Tian is only in the Condensation Element realm, so no matter how strong he is, he is unlikely to come out alive from there. Not to mention the fact that he has three burdens around him, making it even less likely that he will come out alive.”

“Sigh~…” Ao Sheng sighed.

He patted the chair with one hand while thinking to himself, “What a pity! Such a good sword is gone just like that, and that kid got off so easily. If he manages to get out alive, I will make sure he can neither live nor die.”

It was too late now. It is useless even if he vented his anger.

Even though he wanted to go into the Black Wind Cave to take a look, in the end, he dismissed the idea after hearing Deng Leigong’s words. The image of the Heaven Sword appeared in his mind, and he sighed once more. He then said to himself, “What a waste. But the kid’s death will be a way to explain things to the Hai family. Now, the Hai family’s envoy will be easier to deal with.”

For some unknown reason, the day after he wrote Luo Tian’s name as a participant, the Hai family sent someone over.

One has to mention that the Hai family was truly very powerful.

Although Ao Sheng was well aware of the Hai family’s power, he still broke out in a cold sweat when the Hai family’s envoy suddenly showed up.

Now that Luo Tian was dead, it was considered giving the Hai family an explanation.

Even though he was reluctant to part with the divine sword in Luo Tian’s hand, he had no other choice but to give up now.

Immediately after, Ao Sheng said, “Okay, there’s nothing else for you four here. You can all head back. Tomorrow, make sure your disciples show up on time. Also, if the other three Bai family’s disciples are dead, then each of the four families can send out one more disciple. As for the Bai family, don’t worry. If Bai Qi dares to act out of line in front of me again, I will make sure he bleeds out on the spot!”

When the four patriarchs heard those words, they were hiding their joy inside.

They immediately said in unison, “Thank you, my lord!”

When the four patriarchs left, Ao Sheng stood up and entered a certain room.

There was a young man inside that room.

Ao Sheng bowed his body, more respectfully than seeing his own ancestors, and said, “Lord Envoy, that kid Luo Tian has already…”

Before Ao Sheng could finish, the young man interrupted him and said, “I heard everything. There’s no need for you to repeat it again.”

Ao Sheng was taken aback before replying, “Yes.”

The young man walked back and forth a few times, revealing a contemplative expression that was not befitting of his age. He then muttered, “Would a person that even Young Master Yulong can’t deal with die so easily? Since everyone knows that the Black Wind Cave is dangerous, why did he still go in there? And he even brought his beloved woman and his two brothers in with him to die together? Is there such a stupid person in this world?”

Ao Sheng’s eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself, “That’s right! How could I not have thought of it? How could there be such a stupid person? Does that mean the kid is still alive?”

For some reason, Ao Sheng started feeling happy about this possibility.

As long as Luo Tian was still alive, the Heavenly Sword would eventually be his!

The young man frowned and said slowly, “Add my name to the examination as well. The Hai family won’t let any random person participate in the Misty Cloud Academy’s assessment. Even if the Heavenly Emperor was here, he cannot participate without our approval. No one in the Central Continent can oppose the Hai family!”

“If Luo Tian manages to come back alive, I will hunt him down in the assessment!”

Ao Sheng’s body faintly shuddered as he looked over, “Order received. I will do it right away. Except, Lord Envoy, what is your name?”

The young man replied, “Poseidon #990, Wu Sha!”
