“Alright, I’ll quit joking with you.” The Old Prophet finally decided to tell Feng Tian Wu the truth. After that, he said, “Earlier, I said that the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation was left behind by the former successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect’s Fog Rain Progeny who is your Brother Duan’s master. Since he’s your Brother Duan’s master, do you think he will exclude your Brother Duan if there are benefits to him? There’s probably a reason why he doesn’t allow the successor of the First Absolutes, the Fog Rain Progeny, to enter Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation. So there’s no reason for you to worry about your Brother Duan.”
After listening to the Old Prophet’s speech, Feng Tian Wu finally understood that she had made a mistake. “I see.” Her face began to blush.
The Old Prophet abruptly changed the topic and said, “Alright, it’s time for us to go now… We’ll return to the Northern Region once we make another stop.”
Feng Tian Wu had calmed down. She was puzzled when she heard the Old Prophet’s words. “Where are we going?”
“We’ll be picking up my direct disciple, the current successor to the Seven Absolutes Sect’s Second Absolute, the Prophet Progeny!” When the Old Prophet spoke about his direct disciple, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed like he was extremely satisfied with his direct disciple.
“The current successor of the Prophet Progeny?” Feng Tian Wu’s eyes shone as she asked teasingly, “Senior Uncle Prophet… Are you planning to find a little charlatan to inherit your legacy?”
The Old Prophet was like an old charlatan in Feng Tian Wu’s eyes. It was only natural she would think of the Old Prophet’s direct disciple as a little charlatan.
“My disciple is as pretty as flowers and jade. She’s definitely not a little charlatan. In fact, in terms of beauty, she’s not inferior to you!” The Old Prophet said as he shook his head and shot Feng Tian Wu a disgruntled look.
“A girl?” Feng Tian Wu was stunned. She did not expect the Old Prophet would accept a female direct disciple to inherit the Prophet Progeny. Did it make her a female charlatan? She was, naturally, extremely curious about the Old Prophet’s female disciple.
What kind of woman would the Old Prophet select as the successor to the Seven Absolutes Sect’s Second Absolute, the Prophet Progeny? Although Feng Tian Wu did not spend much time with the Old Prophet, she could tell he was someone with high expectations and was very fussy as well! It would be difficult for one to catch his attention.
So, Feng Tian Wu followed the Old Prophet to pick up his female direct disciple…
…
Meanwhile, at the Central Region in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
After traveling for some time, Duan Ling Tian had finally reached his destination.
A majestic city that stood in the distance entered Duan Ling Tian’s sight.
From afar, the city seemed like a gigantic beast lying p.r.o.ne on the ground. It gave off an impressive vibe. As for the open gates, they resembled the mouth of a beast that seemed to devour those who were going in.
“It’s so lively?” When Duan Ling Tian was approaching the city, he could see many people going in and out of the city. It was extremely busy.
‘So this is Sin City? Based on its appearance, it doesn’t seem special apart from the fact that it’s bigger than the other cities I’ve been to…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
All of a sudden…
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The sound of wind whistling reverberated from Sin City, and Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned over to look. He saw three figures rapidly flying toward him.
The figure in the lead was an old man dressed in blue. He had an anxious expression on his face, and his eyes were tensed. It was obvious he was nervous about something.
This was probably due to the two middle-aged men who were chasing closely after him. Moreover, the two middle-aged men’s speed was far faster than the old man. They were quickly closing in on him.
When the old man was near Duan Ling Tian, the two middle-aged men finally caught up to the old man.
‘It seems like the two men are cultivators from one of the sectless cultivators alliances in Sin City…’ Duan Ling Tian came to this conclusion when he saw both the middle-aged men were dressed in similar long green robes with an ax embroidered in the chest area.
When Duan Ling Tian was in Clarity City, he had learned from w.a.n.g Yi Fo, the leader of the Sectless Cultivators in Clarity City, that there were many alliances for sectless cultivators in Sin City.
The sectless cultivators would band together since there was strength in numbers.
The average sectless cultivators who wanted to settle down in Sin City would usually join a sectless cultivators alliance to obtain shelter and protection. In turn, they would be expected to contribute something to the alliance.
“Old Man Xue, are you still trying to escape?” One of the middle-aged men flew to the front and blocked the old man’s path, effectively cutting off the old man’s route to escape.
The old man known as Old man Xue looked distressed. He quickly took off his Spatial Ring after taking a deep breath and threw it to the middle-aged man who was blocking his path.
Old Man Xue quickly said in a submissive manner, “My friends from Ground Axe Alliance, the thing you’re looking for is inside the Spatial Ring I’ve given to you. I’ve already removed my owners.h.i.+p on the ring. I only hope you’ll let me go since I’ve cooperated and given you what you want!”
Duan Ling Tian who was standing nearby could not help but stop and watch the scene before him. He was completely unaffected. At this moment, he did not realize that apart from him, no one had stopped to look. In fact, people took great care to avoid the two people from the Ground Axe Alliance and the old man like a plague. It was as though they would attract trouble if they lingered around.
‘Ground Axe Alliance? Among the sectless cultivators alliances that w.a.n.g Yi Fo mentioned, I don’t remember him mentioning this alliance. If that’s the case, this alliance must be a small and unknown alliance in Sin City!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He was certain w.a.n.g Yi Fo did not mention the Ground Axe Alliance.
Back in Clarity City’s Emerald Clouds Pavilion, when w.a.n.g Yi Fo was informing him about Sin City, he had spoken briefly about the powerful sectless cultivators alliances in the city. Duan Ling Tian had remembered the strong sectless cultivators alliances that he mentioned.
Since w.a.n.g Yi Fo did not mention the Ground Axe Alliance, so Duan Ling Tian was quite certain it was a small and unknown alliance in Sin City.
‘This Old Man Xue must have obtained something of value and attracted the two members of the Ground Axe Alliance… They finally caught him, and he has no choice but to remove owners.h.i.+p of his Spatial Ring and pa.s.s it to them.’ Duan Ling Tian could roughly guess the situation.
After the man who had blocked Old Man Xue’s path caught the ring, he inspected it for a moment before he nodded at his companion. “The thing is inside.”
“Hm?”
Duan Ling Tian saw the man from the Ground Axe Alliance’s eyes turned cold as soon as he finished speaking. The eyes of the other man from the Ground Axe Alliance had also turned cold.
Swis.h.!.+
Xiu!
In an instant, the screech of a blade and the cry of a sword rang in the air simultaneously.
Blood splattered everywhere. Old Man Xue was dead!
Duan Ling Tian was shocked by the b.l.o.o.d.y scene that unfolded before his eyes.
“So… this is what Sin City is like?” Duan Ling Tian finally witnessed firsthand the viciousness of people in Sin City who would kill over a minor argument. He no longer thought Sin City was just like any other city.
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he prepared to continue his journey into Sin City. However, as he was about to move, two Divine Consciousness shrouded him in unison, trapping him.
Sou! Sou!
The sound of wind whistling in the air sounded in unison.
In just a blink of an eye, two figures appeared in front of him. It was obvious they had no intention of letting him leave.
It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to figure out that the two Divine Consciousness belonged to the two men from the Ground Axe Alliance who had just killed Old Man Xue. The two men blocked his path as they stared at him as though he was their prey.
“I don’t know that Old man Xue.” Duan Ling Tian explained with a frown.
He thought the two men from the Ground Axe Alliance members had blocked his path because they thought he was acquainted with Old man Xue.
“We’re aware you don’t know Old man Xue.”
After Duan Ling Tian explained himself, one of the men from Ground Axe Alliance smirked and said, “Your cultivation base is at the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage… Boy, it’s your first time in Sin City, isn’t it?”
The two men from the Ground Axe Alliance had obviously probed Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation based with their Divine Consciousness.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened when he realized the two men from the Ground Axe Alliance did not stop him because they thought he was acquainted with Old Man Xue. “So what if it is?”
