“They’re here! They’re here!”
The crowd was suddenly in a commotion before slowly opening up a path.
Bai Qi brought Bai Lingling, Bai Xiong, Lin Dong, and several disciples forward.
The group looked anxious, with an unsightly expression on their faces.
When Bai Qi heard about the discussions, he beca even more worried.
At the main entrance, sitting on an ancient wooden chair, was Ao Sheng, slowly sipping so fragrant tea. When he saw Bai Qi appear, he revealed a cold smile and said, “Patriarch Bai, why do you have such an ugly look on your face? Did soone give your face a few slaps on the way here? Hahaha…”
The people from the other great families started laughing.
They were really enjoying the show.
They felt much more comfortable with one less Bai family competing with them, especially the difficult opponent, Luo Tian.
More importantly, the Bai family has offended the examiner, Ao Sheng. This ant all the disciples of the Bai family who were going to participate in the selection exam would not have a good ti. This also ant that none of the Bai family mbers would pass the first round of the examination this ti.
This was very good news for the other families in Towering Cloud City.
Bai Qi coldly harrumphed but didn’t say a word.
On the contrary, Bai Lingling said angrily, “Don’t be too happy just yet. The ti isn’t up. Luo Tian will definitely make a breakthrough and will definitely show up. When that ti cos, I’ll see how you can still laugh, humph~!”
Ao Sheng’s eyes narrowed, a brief light flashing through the slits of his eyes. “Do you want to raise the stakes a bit more? If that kid doesn’t show up, you’ll spend the night with . If he does co and wins the bet, I will return the 400,000 xuan coins to you guys.”
“What do you think? Do you dare to gamble?” Ao Sheng sneered.
When he looked at Bai Lingling’s bulging breasts, he unconsciously swallowed his saliva and revealed a perverted smile.
Bai Lingling was extrely angry and was about to retort but was stopped by her father. Bai Qi then said, “My lord, my daughter is ignorant, so please don’t lower yourself to her level. If you want to bet, how about we bet on our lives?”
Bai Lingling’s eyes widened in shock, “Father…”
Ao Sheng coldly sneered, “Bet on our lives?”
He stood up abruptly and looked at Bai Qi with a teasing gaze, “Bai Qi, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to bet your life with ? Even if you add up all the hundreds of Bai family lives together, it still won’t be as valuable as the tip of my finger. You are not qualified to gamble your life with !”
Complete and utter contempt.
Bai Qi chuckled, “Since you don’t dare to bet, then let’s forget it. I thought my lord would dare to bet on anything, but it seems there is actually sothing you are afraid of, humph~!”
Bai Qi showed a look of disdain as he was no longer giving Ao Sheng any face.
He was pissed off, and a surging fla of rage was burning inside him.
If he hadn’t been pressured by the Misty Cloud Academy and worried about the Bai family’s removal from Towering Cloud City, he would have been unable to hold back a long ti ago.
Ao Sheng’s gaze narrowed as a flash of killing intent appeared. He couldn’t make a move in front of so many people; otherwise, he would have made Bai Qi kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness at that instant. He then said with a faint smile, “There’s no need to be in such a rush. If you want to gamble lives with , wait until that kid shows up first. If that kid doesn’t show up, there won’t be any need to gamble because I will not spare a single life of the hundreds of lives in your Bai family.”
“Humph~!”
After saying that, Ao Sheng looked at the western horizon and saw the sun was about to fully set.
Ao Sheng’s expression beca even more smug, and said with a smile, “Ti is almost up, yet the kid still hasn’t appeared. It looks like he thinks he’s going to lose and has run away as a result. If that’s the case… heh heh…” Ao Sheng narrowed his eyes, and his expression turned fierce, “I have already said that if he dares to run away, I will make the Bai family disappear from Towering Cloud City. It was the kid who didn’t keep his words first, so don’t bla for being ruthless!”
He wasn’t really worried about Luo Tian running away because he had already stationed people around the eight gates of the city this afternoon.
Luo Tian hadn’t left Towering Cloud City yet.
As long as he was still in the city, Ao Sheng wasn’t afraid of not getting his hands on the Heaven Sword.
That’s why he wasn’t worried one bit.
Bai Qi’s face darkened as he clenched his fists. He was starting to be worried as he didn’t know how Luo Tian was faring. Luo Tian had gone into the Black Wind Cave, a forbidden ground of the Towering Cloud City. It was hard to say if he could co out alive or not, not to ntion breaking through to the Condensation Elent realm.
Bai Qi didn’t say a word.
Bai Xiong was the one who exclaid, “Why are you in such a rush? The ti isn’t even up yet.”
Ao Sheng did not even look at Bai Xiong and only stared at Bai Lingling with a lecherous face. “Little beauty, your little lover isn’t going to show up. He has basically sold off your entire Bai family. Don’t worry, though; I definitely won’t be killing you. How can I bear to kill such a beautiful girl? I should at least play with you until I’m tired before I kill you, right? Hahaha…”
“Do you want to save your Bai family?”
“If you do, you can try begging . If you manage to make happy, I might even spare your Bai family. Your father and your big brother won’t have to die.” Ao Sheng had a look on his face like Bai Lingling was already his.
He also acted like the Bai family was basically dancing on the palm of his hands. No matter how hard they tried to jump, they wouldn’t be able to escape from out of his five fingers.
Bai Lingling’s heart was itching with hatred, but she managed to hold her anger back. She was also wondering what would happen if Luo Tian really didn’t show up.
What would she do?
Ao Sheng said that he would make the Bai family disappear in front of so many people, and this matter wasn’t much of a challenge for him. As long as he declares it, he wouldn’t even have to make a move, and the elite disciples the Bai family had cultivated would imdiately leave the family to save themselves.
The Bai family na would be erased in less than half a day.
Who would follow the Bai family to their deaths?
Seeing how Bai Lingling had a contemplative look on her face, the smile on Ao Sheng beca even more intense. “No need to be anxious. I will give you so ti to think about it. Of course, there’s a limit to my patience. If you can accompany in my room tonight, maybe my patience will be much longer.”
At this ti, a scolding voice ca from the crowd.
“Accompany all eighteen generations of your ancestors! You dare to touch this daddy’s woman?!”
Ao Sheng’s face instantly contorted into anger as he shouted, “Which dog bastard doesn’t want to live?! Scram out here for !”
“Scram your fucking ass!”
There was a sudden movent in the crowd before a guy covered in blood appeared. His face was full of arrogance, dominance, and fury.
“Who is he?”
“Why does he dare to scold Ao Sheng? Is he really tired of living?”
“Eh? This guy looks kind of like Luo Tian.”
“No way! He really does!”
“It’s him! It’s him! Why is he covered in blood? Where did he co from?”
That person was none other than Luo Tian.
He had rushed over with all his strength, afraid that he would be late.
It was fortunate that he made it a few minutes before the sun fully set.
Originally, he only wanted to win a little money and then participate in the selection exam. As for the Hai family, he would slowly settle the score with them. But when he heard those insulting words toward the Bai family and Bai Lingling, he couldn’t hold down his fiery temper and directly started cursing.
Ao Sheng’s brow furrowed as he stared at Luo Tian stepping out from the crowd. “Kid, you’re finally here? I thought you were hiding in a dog hole already. So, are you here to deliver that divine sword to ?”
“Huh?”
“How is this possible?!”
“Impossible!”
“Sothing like this is not possible…”
Right after Ao Sheng sensed Luo Tian’s cultivation, his face looked as if he had seen a ghost. It instantly turned pale with disbelief!
Luo Tian sneered, “What’s wrong? Lord Ao, your face looks very ugly right now. Did soone just give you a few slaps to the face? Look at your horrified look. Isn’t it just a few hundred thousand xuan coins? You can’t afford to lose that or sothing?”
Luo Tian walked out from the crowd and stood in the center of the plaza.
Bai Xiong and Lin Dong exclaid in unison, “Boss!”
Bai Lingling almost cried when she saw Luo Tian.
A flash of excitent appeared in Bai Qi’s eyes as he slapped his thighs in laughter. “Hahaha… Kid, I was right about you! You really did it! You really created a miracle! You managed to break through!”
As his voice faded, over ten thousand people in the crowd were boiling in excitent.
“B, b, breakthrough?”
“His cultivation is in the Condensation Elent realm?”
“How is that possible?”
“Breaking through to the Condensation Elent realm in five hours? What kind of speed is that? You need to understand that no one can tell when they will break through. It usually happens all of a sudden. Who here can tell others the specific ti that they are going to break through? How did he do it?”
“Lord Ao has lost. That ans…”
“There’s going to be a good show to watch!”
The crowd was filled with discussions. They, too, had the sa incredulous look on their faces as Ao Sheng.
But the facts speak for themselves.
Luo Tian’s cultivation level was at the Condensation Elent 1st rank, and there weren’t any signs that he had used an elixir to temporarily boost his level.
Ao Sheng had been smug for half a day, thinking he was definitely going to win. But now, he felt like Luo Tian had given him several invisible slaps to the face. His face was so unsightly that they looked worse than if he had eaten shit.
It really feels good to slap faces!
Luo Tian said with a playful smile, “My lord, do you want to verify my cultivation? If you don’t need to, then you’ve lost. If you’ve lost, then you should hand over all those xuan coins you gained in the morning. Of course, you can also choose not to hand them over. But the Misty Cloud Academy will have gained a dirty lapdog, hahaha…”
Ao Sheng’s eyes narrowed as intense killing intent appeared on his expression.
But he knew he couldn’t do anything in front of so many city residents.
Especially when he was the one that lost the bet.
The yellow-robed old man stepped forward; his face was equally unsightly. Luo Tian had won, so his Epheral Sword was gone. Most importantly, they hadn’t accomplished what the Hai family had instructed them to do. Luo Tian was now going to participate in the exam!
The yellow-robed old man whispered, “Brother Ao…”
Before he could speak further, Ao Sheng broke out into a smile. He brought out the xuan coins he had gathered in the morning and said, “I, Ao Sheng, am a person true to his words. Since I’ve made a bet with you, I will abide by the agreent. You have won, and these xuan coins are all yours!”
“There’s also one other thing, and that is you are qualified to participate in the selection exam now.”
Bai Lingling imdiately cheered.
Bai Xiong and Lin Dong laughed and chanted together, “Boss is mighty!”
The yellow-robed old man still had an unsightly look on his face as he whispered, “You’re allowing him to participate in the selection exam? How are we going to explain this to the Hai family?”
Ao Sheng whispered back, “Don’t be anxious. He won’t live for more than a few more days.”
