Chapter 1365: Night Raid

It was an instant kill.

Bai Xiangdong was now dead.

Qin Fu was dead as well.

Luo Tian’s dominating aura shook everyone in the City Lord’s manor.

The eyes of every disciple on the martial arts field were filled with excitement.

“He is the City Lord?!”

“So strong!”

“He’s truly too powerful. He actually killed Bai Xiangdong in a single move, and I couldn’t even see his movements. That’s simply too terrifying.”

“Look at the people behind the City Lord. The aura on each of them radiates a suffocating killing intent that makes it impossible for one to get close. Their cultivation levels must be frighteningly high.”

Whispers and discussions broke out all around.

Luo Tian turned around and said calmly, “My name is Luo Tian. Perhaps none of you have seen me before, but what I want to say is that Boundless City is my territory. It is also the territory of the brothers of the Bai family, and doesn’t belong to any single individual. To think someone actually dared to ambush me. It seems a few months of wealth and luxury have made some people forget what happened in the past.”

His voice echoed outward, reaching the ears of everyone in Boundless City.

The Bai family disciples who had followed Luo Tian obviously heard it.

The hearts of every single one of them shuddered.

They could share hardships together, but was it that difficult to share wealth and status?

Bai Xiangdong was the perfect example.

Bai Dao immediately shouted at the disciples, “Why haven’t you paid your respects to the City Lord yet?!”

Instantly, those disciples knelt in unison and said together, “Greetings, City Lord!”

Originally, Luo Tian didn’t want them to kneel, but at this moment, he had to establish his authority. He never imagined that in just a few short months, the brothers who had once faced life and death alongside him would turn out like this.

Luo Tian felt a chill in his heart.

However, he didn’t have time to worry about that for now. He said to Bai Dao, “Call all the Bai family disciples staying in Boundless City here immediately!”

Bai Dao replied instantly, “By your command, Patriarch. What about those in secluded cultivation?”

“All of them!” Luo Tian shouted back.

Bai Dao replied quickly, “I’ll go at once.”

A minor character like Bai Xiangdong dared to act this way? Luo Tian didn’t care what others thought, but anyone harboring such ideas had to be intimidated. These were only second-tier disciples of the Bai family, so what about those disciples with super grade talents who had integrated into those king level forces?

Had their hearts changed by now?

The human heart has always been unpredictable.

No one can say they can see through it.

No matter how high your cultivation, even if you were a Creator God, you still couldn’t see through the human heart.

Ten minutes later, inside the City Lord’s assembly hall.

Around twenty-plus Bai family disciples had gathered.

Their cultivation levels had all improved significantly, all thanks to that talent conversion back at the Boundless Sect.

They were looking at Luo Tian, their eyes filled with shock.

Luo Tian looked over at Dongfang Shuo and said, “Uncle Dongfang, tell us about the situation with the Deng family in Towering Cloud City.”

He did not mention the matter regarding Bai Xiangdong.

Hearing him bring up the Deng family, the expressions of some Bai family disciples softened slightly.

It wasn’t that Luo Tian didn’t want to investigate the corruption. He knew that if he pursued the matter, many people would inevitably be implicated.

He had promised Bai Qi that he would ensure the rise of the Bai family and take care of the disciples who followed him. Luo Tian was acting out of sentiment for their past bond.

Dongfang Shuo was momentarily stunned, a look of approval flashing in his eyes. He then said, “According to reliable information, the Deng family of Towering Cloud City has publicly declared their allegiance to the Mountain Sea Devil Sect. Towering Cloud City has become an affiliated force of that sect.”

“The Mountain Sea Devil Sect is a peak second-tier power among the devil sects.”

“It should be considered a platinum level force.”

“This time, a super expert known as the Devil Supreme appeared out of nowhere. There are rumors that he is an expert in the Honorable Emperor realm, and it took him less than an hour to bring the entire Mountain Sea Devil Sect under his control.”

“Moreover, the Mountain Sea Devil Sect made a move that very day, instantly slaughtering several nearby cities with populations in the millions. The scenes were too horrific to witness. The next city to be ransacked is very likely our Boundless City, as this place offers a direct path toward Misty Cloud City. What I’m worried about is that Demon Supreme’s ultimate goal is actually Misty Cloud City.”

These events had all occurred within the last few days.

Dongfang Shuo did not hold any real power since arriving in Boundless City.

In fact, Bai Xiangdong had not taken him seriously at all.

He had just brought this matter up with Bai Xiangdong earlier, but Bai Xiangdong had completely ignored him.

Luo Tian nodded and asked, “What are everyone’s thoughts on this? Feel free to speak your mind.”

He wanted to know what these Bai family disciples were thinking.

“The Mountain Sea Devil Sect is too powerful, while we are merely a gold level force. It is difficult enough to deal with the Deng family of Towering Cloud City, but against the Mountain Sea Devil Sect? We wouldn’t stand a single chance.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“The Mountain Sea Devil Sect has a Demon Supreme stationed there. If we provoke him, I’m worried that Boundless City will end up in a bloodbath like the other cities. If that happens, everything we’ve done over these past few months will be in vain.”

“Patriarch, how about we just leave this place?”

“We can’t. The Patriarch worked hard to conquer this territory, so how can we just give it up? If we abandon Boundless City, where would we go? And if we leave, what about the people of Boundless City? Have you thought about what would happen to them?”

“We can’t even protect ourselves, and you have the heart to worry about others?”

“If the city is gone, we can always seize another one. But if your life is gone, everything is gone.”

The many Bai family disciples discussed amongst themselves, eventually breaking into a direct argument.

Their cultivation had improved significantly, but their courage had shrunk!

Suddenly, Luo Tian spotted Xu Feng at the city gate and said to him, “Commander Xu, let’s hear what you have to say.”

If it wasn’t his status as the new City Gate Commander, he wouldn’t have the qualifications to be standing here.

The hall suddenly went silent. All eyes turned toward Xu Feng, while a good portion of the Bai family disciples had sneers of disdain on their faces.

Xu Feng was also visibly nervous by the sudden attention. If it weren’t for Luo Tian, he wouldn’t be standing here at all. Looking at the many big shots of Boundless City, he forced himself to stay calm. He swallowed hard and said, “I don’t know…”

“Hahaha…”

“Hahaha…”

“What the hell could a little City Gate Commander like him possibly know?”

“…”

The Bai family disciples began to clamor.

Luo Tian felt somewhat annoyed and raised his voice at Xu Feng, “If you have an idea, just say it for everyone to hear!”

Xu Feng clenched his teeth and threw caution to the wind, replying, “I don’t know the City Lord’s cultivation strength, but if it is strong enough, why not strike first? We should first eradicate the Deng family in Towering Cloud City to settle old scores, then launch a lightning strike against the Mountain Sea Devil Sect to catch them off guard…”

Before he could finish, the crowd burst into laughter again.

“There are experts from the Mountain Sea Devil Sect stationed in Towering Cloud City. Do you think we can just wipe them out whenever we want?”

“You’re just telling people to go to their deaths.”

“Not mentioning eradicating the Deng family, someone like you couldn’t even make it out of the Boundless Mountains.”

Luo Tian’s heart turned cold again, but he smiled at Xu Feng and said, “From today onward, you are the Grand Commander of Boundless City.”

“I accept your proposal.”

“The operation begins tonight. A lightning strike to eliminate the Deng family and avenge the fallen disciples of the Bai family!”
