Chapter 797
Even after killing City Lord Qin Sheng, Yi Tianyun wasn’t satisfied at all. For him, it was only the beginning of his goal to purge the Evil Spirit Race from Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower! But he has already taken a significant step now as only a City Lord could challenge the higher level City Lord! Furthermore, the City Lord couldn’t refuse another City Lord’s challenge regardless of the circ.u.mstances!
The City Lord challenge was different from the regular challenge! The City Lord could reject the regular challenge as long as they provided a certain condition to the challenger, for example, defeating certain people before earning the right to challenge the City Lord. This was a given provided that the City Lord bore the responsibility to take care of the city they were in charge of. Yi Tianyun didn’t know who bore the City Lord position in a higher layer, but he speculated that all of them would be Evil Spirit Race cultivators! This position provided so many benefits that there was no way the Evil Spirit Race would let such an advantageous position fell into other races’ hands!
Yi Tianyun was very lucky that Qin Sheng charged straight at him without thinking earlier. If Qin Sheng kept his composure, Yi Tianyun had to wait for a certain amount of time before he could deal with Qin Sheng!
“Now, let’s continue our fight!” Yi Tianyun said as he turned his attention to the guards that attacked him earlier. He expanded his aura and covered the entire room. The guards immediately felt a foreboding shadow of death and thus immediately tried to escape, but unfortunately for them, their decision was a little too late! Yi Tianyun flashed in front of them and blocked their escape route.
“Stop! Don’t kill me!” The guard screamed while a.s.suming a defensive position as they subconsciously tried to protect themselves. But once again, their action was futile as Yi Tianyun easily cleaved them in two with the big axe that Qin Sheng used earlier.
Yi Tianyun got the guard’s Flame Imprint, and he successfully upgraded the 4th Flame Imprint while the 5th Flame Imprint started to show itself faintly. Surely, it would be hard to upgrade the 5th Flame Imprint as the guard was only at the 3rd Flame Imprint. It surely would be far easier to just go up another level instead of challenging the guards on the 3rd Layer City to upgrade his Flame Imprint.
But when he checked the City Lord status and found something that might be useful later. He found that the City Lord had the authority to judge anyone they deemed a sinner regardless of whether they really violated the rules, as it was up to City Lord’s decision whether to punish the cultivator to duel or not!
But still, the trials for the sinner only worked on those with the same level of Flame Imprint as the city that the City Lord managed, meaning that Yi Tianyun’s privilege as the City Lord wouldn’t work on those that had 4th Flame Imprint or above! The most useful thing was that the City Lord privilege could ignore the rule that prohibited challenging those who had just partic.i.p.ated in another duel recently, meaning that there was no time given to the sinner to recuperate!
But it was understandable as the City Lord was supposed to set a trial instead of challenging the sinner. The City Lord had a chance to hold three trials each month, meaning that Yi Tianyun could kill three cultivators of his choice each month without evoking the tower’s punishment.
Yi Tianyun then rushed towards the cultivator that Qin Sheng toyed around with earlier. He equipped the Longevity Necklace and Longevity Ring to help the poor cultivator. The female cultivator was badly injured as Qin Sheng also damaged her soul! Her Blood Essence has already depleted, meaning that Qin Sheng has feasted on her for quite some time.
Although Yi Tianyun has equipped his best equipment to save the female cultivator, it didn’t mean he was omnipotent! Furthermore, the female cultivator was dying! This was beyond him unless he had the full set of Longevity Set!
“Thank you for killing that monster!” The female cultivator said with a smile on her face. Even though she didn’t want to die, at least she could see her enemy met the end he deserved! After expressing her grat.i.tude to Yi Tianyun, she died on his hand. But she died with a smile on her face.
Yi Tianyun sighed and covered the bodies in the room with his Immortal Fire. He didn’t want the odor to spread further. Besides, he did it to honour the female cultivator to make sure no one could see her badly injured body. Yi Tianyun then walked out of the throne room as he didn’t have anything else to do in this place, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw that many cultivators had gathered on the bottom of the stairs as they heard the commotion on the City Palace.
They heard that someone was challenging the City Lord, but they thought there was no way the challenger would win as the City Lord was a very powerful cultivator! There was no way someone on 3rd Layer City could defeat such a man, but once they saw Yi Tianyun coming out of the throne room and the blue ring on Yi Tianyun’s arm, they knew that the previous City Lord had been killed!
“City Lord!” The cultivator shouted in surprise as they didn’t want to get into the new City Lord’s bad side. They were terrified as the situation changed so fast, and they didn’t even know the young man who successfully killed the previous City Lord in such a short amount of time!
Yi Tianyun stared at the cultivator coldly, but since he didn’t feel any Evil Spirit Race’s presence among the crowd, he ignored them and started to walk towards the stairs that would bring him to the 4th Layer City. But suddenly, a man rushed towards Yi Tianyun with strong killing intent. “I challenge you, young man! How dare you kill City Lord Qin! Do you realise what you have gotten yourself into?” the cultivator shouted coldly.
The Iron Necklace on Yi Tianyun’s neck started to glow red, meaning that the cultivator that rushed towards him right now was part of the Evil Spirit Race! Yi Tianyun looked at the cultivator coldly, and as soon as the cultivator rushed close enough to where he was, Yi Tianyun split the cultivator in two with the big axe that he got from Qin Sheng earlier!
His goal was to slaughter the Evil Spirit Race, so there was no need for him to hear anything they have to say!
