The Way of The Dao

Chapter 514 Young Master?

?A group of people quickly arrived at the area where the waterfall was located.

The leader carrying a gleaming sword, approached and looked at the place all shattered.

"The celestial tiger is dead!"

Soon, they noticed a huge beast split in two on one side of the waterfall, still flowing with a bit of blood as the obvious but faint energy flowed from its dead body.

"It's dead?"

"How can that be?"

"Was it another beast that killed it?"

The group quickly muttered in fear as they saw the corpse of the Celestial Tiger in the middle of the entire ravaged place, evidently the product of a fierce and intense battle.

It should be noted that the Celestial Tiger was at the pinnacle of the Golden Core realm!

It was the most powerful animal in the Nightmare Valley!

And this place was its domain...

If another more powerful beast could have killed this Celestial Tiger that ruled the place, wouldn't it be a beast that had entered the Nascent Soul realm?

Then they were in danger! They would have to quickly escape from the place!

Although the Celestial Tiger was very powerful, it would not leave this place and had always lived in this Nightmare Valley. It was as if it didn't want to leave its place where it lives.

"No, it doesn't seem to be the result of a beast encounter." The leader who had the highest cultivation quickly spoke as he observed the corpse once he approached.

"It's been sliced in half... it looks like the slash made by a sword." The man whispered with some nervousness.

The Celestial Tiger had been killed by a sword!

Who could have killed it with a sword?

There wasn't a powerful man who had entered this place these days!

Besides, the ancestors of the city families were only half-step from the Golden Core realm!

It would need at least 5 ancestors to face this Celestial Tiger!

Let alone being able to kill it. And to be able to kill it in one cut with a sword, it would be impossible...

"Will the expert still be around?" One of the men clenched the spear in his hands, his eyes looking everywhere in search of the mighty man who might be nearby.

If there was such a strong man in the region, why didn't anyone in the city know about it?

They would have to respect him and give him the utmost welcome!

Even the ancestors of the great families of the city would have to give him respect!

The various spirit senses spread carefully through the whole place, looking for traces of anything strange or perhaps to find some sign of the expert who killed the Celestial Tiger.

"Behind the waterfall!"

"There's someone coming out!"

The men shouted as they nervously, fearfully and carefully focused their spirit senses on the figure that was emerging from the waterfall, revealing itself to them.

"Huh?"

Then, they all frowned as they saw a young man calmly coming out of the waterfall, who was also looking at them but with an indifferent gaze.

"Kid, what are you doing there, don't you know this is a dangerous area?"

The leader shouted when he noticed the young man in front of them, fearing that he was lost in this forbidden place. The others also looked confusedly at this young man.

What was a young man doing in this place?

Didn't he know that this place was forbidden zone of the Nightmare Valley?

Could it be that this young man had killed the Celestial Tiger?

They didn't believe it!

He's a Junior who hasn't grown any hair!

Or could it be that this person had a higher cultivation level than them, and that's why they couldn't see or feel it?

Everyone shook their heads; there was no way a young man like him would have a very high cultivation base.

How could a boy in his early twenties have a higher cultivation than the Celestial Tiger?

It's impossible!

The men scanned this young man unscrupulously through their spirit senses, effectively proving that he didn't even have a cultivation base.

He even looked like he was completely crippled!

Besides the fact that this young man's appearance is extremely handsome and attractive, there was nothing else about him that would make them think that he was the one who killed this beast. Although his body showed several light and some serious wounds and it looked like he had been rolled and dragged all over the place in a big confrontation against someone else, this was not the result of a battle against an animal, especially against the ferocious Celestial Tiger.

So how could a complete cripple kill the legendary Celestial Tiger? He didn't even have a hint of energy in his entire body!

The person of course was Ling Tian.

Ling Tian simply looked undeterred at this group of cultivators who had arrived and rudely scanned him, noticing that they were dressed as what appeared to be guards. Their cultivation bases were between of the Chi Gathering and the Foundation Establishment realm. The leader was the one with the highest cultivation level - Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

"What place is this?"

Before they said anything else, Ling Tian asked nonchalantly without answering the questions he had been asked.

Ling Tian precisely walked out of the cave with the intention of knowing what world they had arrived in; with great possibility, it could be one of the great Cultivation Worlds he knew!

The place where they were although it had a large amount of spirit Chi and obviously more of a wild Chi, it still did not come close to being like that of the great places of a Cultivation World. But Ling Tian didn't deny it, since in Cultivation Worlds there are also places with low spiritual energy where one can practice and cultivate quietly and the people there leave after a while to continue increasing their cultivation, since in those places they wouldn't be able to advance any further.

"Huh? Junior, you don't seem to know how to respect your Seniors!" One of the men scowled in annoyance and yelled at Ling Tian when he saw that he had not answered them and instead he asked them something; moreover, that look of his seemed to be filled with obvious indifference when speaking to them, as if he really did not care who they were.

Ling Tian gazed indifferently at this man, not being bothered by the way he spoke to him. Rather, Ling Tian didn't give a damn about being spoken to like this, these people simply didn't enter his eyes.

Could a fierce and mighty Dragon be bothered by a few small and weak ants?

Of course not. Besides, Ling Tian didn't care what these people thought of him or where they came from. He simply needed to know where they were.

However, this was a big problem for the group of guards present.

How many people did not respect them for the fact that they were the watchmen and guards of the Nightmare Valley?

Even the great experts of the city had to give them a point of respect for simply being the guards of this great place. Although their cultivation levels are not as high as those great cultivators, they still have a great backing and no one dares to offend them easily.

The City Lord also has a strength half-step from the Golden Core, he is even the one who has the best chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment realm and advancing to the Golden Core realm officially.

With this simple fact, the entire city had to give them even a respectful treatment.

"Who are you? What family do you come from? Don't you know that this is the Nightmare Valley?" One of them said arrogantly, feeling envious and jealous at the sight of this handsome young man who would surely attract many women just by strolling around the city.

The others were likewise watching Ling Tian in detail, wondering which great family he belonged to because of that mysterious temperament he exuded despite having no cultivation strength, making them feel a strange mysterious feeling that made them not move any further. Such a young man could not go unnoticed in the city because of that temperament, besides the simple fact of having an attractive appearance and a handsome face that would charm every woman.

Could it be that this young man does not come from the city but from somewhere else?

That would explain why he doesn't know who they are...

"Y-Young Master?"

Just as the leader was about to say something else, a nervous and expectant voice was heard from one of the guards.

A guard holding a small emblem of a sword and a star together took a few steps with obvious shock in his gaze, focusing on Ling Tian, precisely on the book he held in his hand.
