Misty Cloud City, the Hai family.
Hai Tongtian was very unhappy.
Extremely unhappy.
The anger he was feeling reached the point of making him speechless.
He had watched a large number of life lamps go out and remained indifferent.
But Ghost Servant’s life lamp actually went out.
That meant the mission to assassinate Luo Tian had failed.
A dignified powerhouse in the Holy Spirit realm, a super assassin ranked in the top fifty on the Poseidon rankings, had actually failed. And failed twice in a row. This made the Hai family lose a lot of face!
“Trash!”
“Trash!”
“They’re all trash! So many people can’t deal with a Martial Void ranker Luo Tian?! I really don’t know why the Hai family is even feeding you guys!” Hai Tongtian finally erupted. His eyes narrowed, and his expression became extremely ferocious.
He was extraordinarily angry.
In the secret room, several elders stood aside and said nothing.
A while later, an elder said, “Patriarch, Luo Tian is only in the Great Diffusion realm. He does not pose a threat to our Hai family. What we must do now is find the secret training ground for those super grade talents in the Misty Cloud Academy. The academy seems to be much stronger than we imagined. Huangfu Jue’s daughter, Huangfu Ya, has also awakened a space-time bloodline. There’s also Tang San, and that little fat guy Liu Zhan. These people will be the pillars of the Misty Cloud Academy in the future. But they still need time to grow, so we don’t need to spend a lot of time on them. How to take down Huangfu Jue is the most important thing right now. There are also the other king level forces in Misty Cloud City. They are obedient on the surface, but if a major event occurs in the Hai family, especially if the Crown Prince fails to break through to the Honorable Emperor realm, the Hai family may suffer a very heavy blow...”
Luo Tian currently did not pose a threat to the Hai family.
Hai Yulong’s death made Hai Tongtian speed up his pace, and at the same time exposed the Hai family’s ambitions.
Every step had to be taken perfectly.
If he took a wrong step, the suppression he would suffer might make the Hai family unable to recover.
Another elder said, “The Essence Devouring Insect in the valley of the First City can confirm one thing: the Abyss Academy has long wanted to attack the Misty Cloud Academy. We can ally with the Abyss Academy. In half a year, it will be the day of the exchange between the two academies. At that time, we can send people to negotiate. If we can have Huangfu Jue lead the team, perhaps... that would be a great opportunity!”
“Patriarch, the two elders are right. Luo Tian is like a clown. Without Huangfu Jue, he can’t even climb onto a stage. He is merely a piece of trash in the Great Diffusion realm. No matter how strong he is, he is no match for a powerhouse in the Honorable Emperor realm. Killing him is just a matter of minutes. There’s no need to waste any more time on him. What we need to do is further consolidate the Hai family’s power, thereby expanding.” Another elder added.
The three elders were all peak powerhouses from the Hai family.
Among the three, two were powerhouses in the Honorable Emperor realm, and the third one was a peak Holy Spirit realm powerhouse.
Their words carried a lot of weight.
Their words also put pressure on Hai Tongtian, telling him not to waste too much energy and time on Luo Tian.
Hai Tongtian suppressed his anger and said, “I will take care of the matter of having Huangfu Jue lead the team to the Abyss Academy. I will also take care of the other king level forces in Misty Cloud City. As for that dog thing, Luo Tian... Humph~!”
After harrumphing, he then said, “I’ll let you live a few more days. After my Hai family consolidates everything, it will be the date of your death!”
“But...”
“Luo Tian, you wish to join the Misty Cloud Academy, right?”
“I won’t let you get your way, hahaha... You just wait and see. When the time comes, I want to see if Huangfu Jue would still protect you!”
The Misty Cloud Academy.
Huangfu Jue was holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Ren Xiaoyao, who was behind him, was excited beyond compare.
“Hahaha...”
“Now I want to see how arrogant the Hai family can be! They’ve lost a lot of face! Even Ghost Servant Number Two was killed by Luo Tian in one move! Hahaha... How great would it be if I could see that scene with my own eyes!”
“Dean, this kid is indeed not ordinary. I like him more and more now, hahaha...” Ren Xiaoyao didn’t hide his excitement and continued, “Dean, the Hai family has openly violated the agreement. We should go to them immediately; otherwise, they’ll really think we don’t exist.”
The agreement clearly stipulated that the Hai family was not allowed to send powerhouses in the Holy Spirit realm to assassinate Luo Tian.
Huangfu Jue waved his hand and said, “The Hai family suffered a hidden loss this time. Based on my understanding of Hai Tongtian, he will definitely not let it go. However, the Hai family will not waste too much energy on Luo Tian for now. The other king level forces in Misty Cloud City are obedient on the surface, but I think they are not willing to be subordinate to others. The Hai family also knows this, so the following time is an opportunity for Luo Tian to catch his breath. We can’t push the Hai family too hard; otherwise, it will backfire.”
Ren Xiaoyao then said, “So, that’s it?”
Huangfu Jue replied, “That’s all we can do for now. However, I hope the matter of Luo Tian obtaining the inheritance of Ancient Power must not be leaked; otherwise, Hai Tongtian will eliminate Luo Tian at all costs.”
Ren Xiaoyao’s eyebrows twitched as he became excited again. He then said, “The inheritance of Ancient Power... that means Luo Tian has the Ancient Tree in his body! The Ancient Tree has been missing for tens of thousands of years in the Ancient World!”
“But can he cultivate the Ancient Tree? We all know that thing is a bottomless pit. Even powerhouses in the Honorable Emperor realm can’t handle it. Can he do it?”
Huangfu Jue shook his head and said, “If it were me...”
After a few minutes of silence, Huangfu Jue was still not sure. He exhaled before saying, “Luo Tian should be clear about the Ancient Tree’s matter of devouring yuan energy. I believe he should be able to do it.”
The Ancient Tree was an entity that required ten thousand yuan energy every three days. It was really not something ordinary people can handle.
Even Luo Tian had to pay attention to his yuan energy points at all times.
It was precisely because the cultivation of the Ancient Tree was very difficult that the ancient power disappeared from the Ancient World for tens of thousands of years.
It was simply too difficult to cultivate.
Luo Tian had only cultivated it to half a person’s height right now. To make it take shape, it still needed endless yuan energy. Having yuan energy alone wasn’t enough. He also needed the souls of strong people for the Ancient Tree to devour. Only when the two are combined can it grow quickly.
“There’s something I want you to do.” Huangfu Jue suddenly said.
“Regarding the Essence Devouring Insect, investigate which powerhouse of the devil sect cultivated it. The death of the Essence Devouring Insect may attract the devil sect’s attention to Luo Tian. On the surface, Luo Tian isn’t too much of a danger to them yet. But when he reaches his peak and he becomes stronger and stronger, the devil sect, the Hai family, and the Abyss Academy will all attack him. We cannot let him be in any danger.”
Ren Xiaoyao immediately said, “I understand. But there is a very strange matter currently.”
Huangfu Jue asked, “What matters?”
Ren Xiaoyao replied, “I have received reliable information that two elders from the Azure Dragon Clan have disguised themselves and entered Misty Cloud City. They may have transformed into young disciples and infiltrated the Misty Cloud Academy. What they are planning to do is still under investigation.”
The Misty Cloud Academy was stronger than others imagined.
Its intelligence organization alone was extremely powerful.
Being able to know that two elders from the Azure Dragon Clan had entered Misty Cloud City showed its strength.
“Huh?”
Huangfu Jue’s brows tightened, “The strongest clan of the Four Divine Beasts Continent, the Azure Dragon Clan. What are they doing at Misty Cloud Academy? Could it be that they are going to launch another continental war? That shouldn’t be the case. The Holy See hasn’t made any moves, the Buddhist Continent is also quiet, not to mention the Frozen Plains Country. Could it be... could it also be for Luo Tian?”
He couldn’t find a reasonable explanation.
Because they appeared after Luo Tian came to Misty Cloud City, he had to consider the chance of them being related.
“If they’re really here for Luo Tian, then...”
Huangfu Jue’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the dim sky. He then muttered, “Luo Tian, who exactly are you? It’s getting harder and harder to see through you.”
Huangfu Jue then said, “Just do whatever Elder Tian had you do. Continue to stay in the academy and pay attention to the movements of those two elders of the Azure Dragon Clan. Don’t disturb them before knowing their purpose.”
Ren Xiaoyao immediately replied, “Got it!”
Time passed by silently.
In the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of the second round of the assessment.
Luo Tian and Liu Zhan finally climbed out of the First Sea.
Being in the sea for three consecutive days nearly suffocated them.
Liu Zhan looked excitedly at the front and said, “We’re at the exit, hahaha! The second round is about to end!”
Luo Tian was momentarily stunned and said, “There’s still a third round left, so don’t be so quick to be happy.”
Liu Zhan revealed a look of contempt and said, “The third round is a dueling competition. I won’t have to ally with you again. Following you all day is way too nerve-wracking. What makes me even more unhappy is that I can’t even pick up a girl! My perfect image has been ruined by you!”
“Luo Tian, if we meet in the third round, I will definitely not let you off lightly. I will challenge you. I challenge you in the name of chivalry! The losing party must never have any further involvement with Huangfu Ya!” Liu Zhan said this very seriously.
He had a feeling of heartbreak whenever he thought of Huangfu Ya.
But Luo Tian had a look of indifference on his face, which made Liu Zhan unable to stand it.
Luo Tian smiled and said, “Fatty Liu, shouldn’t you call me boss?”
Liu Zhan pretended to be clueless and said, “Why should I call you boss? I’m older than you. Logically, you should call me big brother.”
Luo Tian coughed and said, “Oh heavens, I am willing to do it with the ugliest woman in the world...”
“Brother! Big brother!”
“Boss! You are my boss, I am your little brother! Is that enough?” Liu Zhan suddenly had erectile dysfunction. Thinking of that oath, he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground since it was simply too embarrassing.
Luo Tian laughed and said, “That’s more like it.”
“Don’t waste time and head out quickly. We haven’t rested these past nine days. Let’s go out and have a good rest. The third round of assessments starts the day after tomorrow,” said Luo Tian as he walked towards the exit.
In another area.
Misty Cloud City, the platinum force Dongfang family.
Dongfang Xiong smiled triumphantly and said, “My Lord, you can rest assured that I will handle this matter. I will definitely take care of that dog thing, Dongfang Shuo. I will make him regret coming into this world for daring to collude with Luo Tian!”
