Chapter 1076: Blank

The disciples from Towering Cloud City who were partic.i.p.ating in the a.s.sessment were all present.

The only ones not present were the four disciples from the Bai family.

Bai Qis face was filled with anxiety.

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

If they couldnt partic.i.p.ate this time, the Bai familys 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 dont 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 Qis 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, whats going on? None of your disciples have arrived yet. Could it be that theyve all died somewhere out there? If theyre dead, then the Bai family wont have any disciples partic.i.p.ating in this years a.s.sessment.

He hated Bai Lingling to the bones.

If it werent for Bai Lingling, his son wouldnt be dead now.

Bai Qi coldly harrumphed but didnt respond.

Ao Sheng gave a gentle warning, There is still half an hour left. Patriarch Bai, have your disciples arrived yet? It doesnt matter to me that we have to wait for the four of them, but Im sure the other disciples wont be too happy about it.

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

Arent that too full of themselves?

I think they wont come. Theres twenty-something of us here and only four of them, so theres 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 dont understand how you guys do things in your family. Could it be that theyre afraid of us and went into hiding?

Thats most likely it. That coward Luo Tian doesnt dare to partic.i.p.ate anymore.

Hahaha

Bai Qis 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. Ive 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. Its as if they had evaporated into thin air. Patriarch, could it be that Ao Sheng?

He didnt 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 hadnt appeared, Bai Qi couldnt 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 Shengs 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 Tians Heaven Sword no longer had any relations with him. Upon hearing Bai Qis 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 dont 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 dont need to scheme against a Condensation Element piece of trash. I can kill him in front of everyone here if I want to.

f.u.c.k! Whos the motherf.u.c.ker calling my boss a piece of trash?! Your whole family are pieces of tras.h.!.+

A scolding voice suddenly came from the crowd.

People quickly move out of the way.

Theyre here!

Luo Tians here!

There was a commotion in the crowd, and all eyes were on Luo Tians 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 wasnt 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 Shengs face twitched in shock before he exclaimed, d.a.m.n dog things! Youve 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 flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.

Luo Tians heart shuddered as he could feel killing intent locked onto him.

The killing intent wasnt normal and was monstrously strong. It was something the experts here in Towering Cloud City werent capable of.

However, the killing intent quickly disappeared.

Luo Tian swept his gaze past the crowd, pretending that he didnt 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 wasnt the time to say those words. Moreover, all their cultivation realms had improved, and there was no doubt this was Luo Tians merit. He weighed all of this in his heart and said with relief, Its fine. Just have a good match, and dont let me down.

Bai Xiong smiled and said, Father, dont worry. There wont be any problems on our end.

Bai Lingling added, We will definitely pa.s.s the first round.

She was filled with confidence after breaking through and felt like she couldnt wait to take the exam.

When Luo Tians 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 Tians group. It was very clear that they had suffered huge losses.

Bai Qis expression changed, and he immediately asked, Luo Tian, what did you say?

Bai Xiong was the one who replied, Father, you didnt know? The four great families sent people to follow us in an attempt to get rid of us. What they didnt expect was that the Black Wind Cave isnt 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 everyones thoughts. He couldnt 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, Its almost time. Everyone should be gathered by now. Lets prepare for the a.s.sessment.

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

Luo Tians group of four also joined the ranks while he thought to himself, I will definitely pa.s.s the a.s.sessment! Silly queen, I will definitely save you!
