Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Bai Qi’s face was filled with anxiety.

The names had already been registered, so it was not possible to change the disciple’s names.

If they couldn’t participate this time, the Bai family’s influence in Towering Cloud City would plummet. And within a year, they will probably be driven out of Towering Cloud City by the other great families. In addition to facing the pressure of the four great families, he will also have to face the pressure within his own family.

The Elders will force him to give up his position.

The faces of the Elders standing behind Bai Qi were ashen, and their eyes were filled with resentment. If Luo Tian and the others don’t make it on time, they will immediately demand that Bai Qi abdicate.

In addition to that, they were going to face the pressure from the Misty Cloud Academy.

This was the source of Bai Qi’s strongest pressure. Once Luo Tian and the others fail to get here on time, Ao Sheng will immediately fly into a rage. He would probably say something along the lines of the Bai family being disrespectful to the Misty Cloud Academy and that they will not be given any quota in the future. This kind of thing has happened in other cities before.

The pressure was so great that others could not imagine it.

At this time, Ouyang Lie said with a sneer, “Patriarch Bai, what’s going on? None of your disciples have arrived yet. Could it be that they’ve all died somewhere out there? If they’re dead, then the Bai family won’t have any disciples participating in this year’s assessment.”

He hated Bai Lingling to the bones.

If it weren’t for Bai Lingling, his son wouldn’t be dead now.

Bai Qi coldly harrumphed but didn’t respond.

Ao Sheng gave a gentle warning, “There is still half an hour left. Patriarch Bai, have your disciples arrived yet? It doesn’t matter to me that we have to wait for the four of them, but I’m sure the other disciples won’t be too happy about it.”

After hearing those words, the disciples who were waiting immediately started complaining to each other.

“Aren’t that too full of themselves?”

“I think they won’t come. There’s twenty-something of us here and only four of them, so there’s no need to wait.”

“Patriarch Bai, how do you manage your family? You were given three days to prepare, but they are still not ready. I really don’t understand how you guys do things in your family. Could it be that they’re afraid of us and went into hiding?”

“That’s most likely it. That coward Luo Tian doesn’t dare to participate anymore.”

“Hahaha…”

Bai Qi’s expression slightly changed from the discussion, and asked, “Have you found Luo Tian and the others yet?”

A disciple hurried over and shook his head, “Nothing. I’ve sent people to all the city gates and also went out of the city to look for them, but they cannot be found. I have no idea where the four of them went. It’s as if they had evaporated into thin air. Patriarch, could it be that Ao Sheng…?”

He didn’t finish his words.

The entire Towering Cloud City knows that Luo Tian has offended Ao Sheng.

Luo Tian humiliated Ao Sheng in front of the entire city. He was the steward of the Misty Cloud Academy, so anyone who offended him would not have a good ending.

Since they still hadn’t appeared, Bai Qi couldn’t help but start suspecting Ao Sheng. He looked at Ao Sheng and asked, “Lord Ao, have Luo Tian and my son ever visited you these past few days?”

Ao Sheng’s face darkened.

It would be good if Luo Tian was dead because it would be an easy explanation for the Hai family.

Alive was good, too, since Wu Sha was here to take care of him. He did feel somewhat upset that Luo Tian’s Heaven Sword no longer had any relations with him. Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, he raised his voice, “Patriarch Bai, what do you mean by those words? Are you implying that I killed them?”

Bai Qi replied, “I don’t dare to. I am merely asking for some clues.”

Ao Sheng glared at Bai Qi and sneered, “I may have lost a bet, but I, Ao Sheng, am not a petty person. Besides, I don’t need to scheme against a Condensation Element piece of trash. I can kill him in front of everyone here if I want to.”

“Fuck! Who’s the motherfucker calling my boss a piece of trash?! Your whole family are pieces of trash!”

A scolding voice suddenly came from the crowd.

People quickly move out of the way.

“They’re here!”

“Luo Tian’s here!”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and all eyes were on Luo Tian’s group of four.

“Eh? The aura coming from them is different from three days ago. It looks like they have all become stronger!”

Some of the Elders looked shocked, “Their cultivation realms have improved!”

They had all broken through in three days. It wasn’t just a single small realm but two small realms. This was supposedly an impossible matter, even if one were to take a really good elixir.

Ao Sheng’s face twitched in shock before he exclaimed, “Damn dog things! You’ve finally shown yourselves!”

Among the disciples, there was a man who appeared unfamiliar. The moment Luo Tian appeared, his gaze never wavered as he stared at him. A brief glint could be seen flashing in his eyes.

Luo Tian’s heart shuddered as he could feel killing intent locked onto him.

The killing intent wasn’t normal and was monstrously strong. It was something the experts here in Towering Cloud City weren’t capable of.

However, the killing intent quickly disappeared.

Luo Tian swept his gaze past the crowd, pretending that he didn’t know anything. He then walked over to Bai Qi with a smile and said, “Uncle Bai, sorry we were late and made you worried.”

Bai Qi wanted to scold him but realized this wasn’t the time to say those words. Moreover, all their cultivation realms had improved, and there was no doubt this was Luo Tian’s merit. He weighed all of this in his heart and said with relief, “It’s fine. Just have a good match, and don’t let me down.”

Bai Xiong smiled and said, “Father, don’t worry. There won’t be any problems on our end.”

Bai Lingling added, “We will definitely pass the first round.”

She was filled with confidence after breaking through and felt like she couldn’t wait to take the exam.

When Luo Tian’s group appeared, the people of the four great families had ugly looks on their faces.

Luo Tian smiled while looking at the people from the four great families. He then said, “Was the Black Wind Cave fun? You guys must have had a great time after sending so many elite disciples there for a day trip, hahaha…”

The bodies of the disciples from the four great families were found in the Black Wind Cave, so it was obvious that they were there to kill them.

They probably never imagined that they would be killed by their heart demons before they could even find Luo Tian’s group. It was very clear that they had suffered huge losses.

Bai Qi’s expression changed, and he immediately asked, “Luo Tian, what did you say?”

Bai Xiong was the one who replied, “Father, you didn’t know? The four great families sent people to follow us in an attempt to get rid of us. What they didn’t expect was that the Black Wind Cave isn’t a place where anyone can enter.”

Bai Qi immediately turned to look at his good friend Li Yuesheng.

Who knew his good friend would…

His heart started aching.

Ao Sheng cleared his throat to interrupt everyone’s thoughts. He couldn’t afford to lose face if this matter was traced back to him. So many people had chased after the four of them, yet only a few people who had lost their minds managed to return alive. He then shouted, “It’s almost time. Everyone should be gathered by now. Let’s prepare for the assessment.”

All the disciples from various families instantly became quiet in anxiety.

Luo Tian’s group of four also joined the ranks while he thought to himself, “I will definitely pass the assessment! Silly queen, I will definitely save you!”
