985 Wreaking Havoc in Lie Ban City (1/2)
Lie Ban City's architecture was very different from that of human cities. The physical sizes of the foreign clans were not the same. Some were more than a hundred feet tall, while some were only a few feet or even a few inches tall. That meant that some of the buildings were rather large and others were very small. There were even rooftops of huge buildings featuring small and intricate walkways with a group of pocket-sized figures living there.
A multicultural group had caused the city's architecture, food, beverages, and entertainment to also be multicultural. It was a much livelier place than human cities. The streets were packed and crowds flocked in endlessly. Creatures of all shapes and sizes could be seen everywhere.
Suddenly, in the sky above, a bolt of lightning shot past. The next moment, dark clouds covered the sky and enveloped the entire city. Thunder rumbled endlessly. It was as though the heavens were angered and were about to send down divine punishment.
”This is not the power of nature. What is going on?”
”This is thunder activated by the esoteric rule for thunder. Are there experts battling in the city?”
”Lie Ban City forbids battles. Who has the guts to ignore the authority of the Lie Ban Tribe?”
...
Lightning descended from the sky. The abnormal weather caused all of Lie Ban City to be in shock. The residents of the city all seemed to be cultivators. They immediately noticed that something was off.
The tallest building in Lie Ban City was the mayor's manor in the center of the city. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed on the tallest lighthouse of the mayor's manor. In the pillar of lightning, a faint silhouette stood tall and proud.
Next, a terrifying pressure expanded outwards. With the mayor's manor as the center, it instantly enveloped the whole of the city. Some of the residents in the city with lower cultivation were scared stiff. They were frozen to their spots and did not even dare to move. It seemed as though they would immediately be crushed under the pressure from the sky if they moved a muscle.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the city, a few silhouettes flew out. Those who dared to come out each had a rather powerful aura. Even the lowest was at the Primordial Soul Realm. They came in groups of three to five members, frantically flying towards the mayor's manor.
”Who dares to behave so atrociously in Lie Ban City?”
The members of the tribe in the mayor's manor naturally responded the fastest. A loud cry sounded, followed by five beams of light flying out of the mayor's manor. There were three men and two women. The leader was a huge creature that was thirty feet tall. He had a figure that was similar to a human's. He was covered in dark-red scale armor. The armor emanated an astonishing heat, and it seemed as though magma was flowing over the armor.
However, races of the preliminary ancient land were rather bizarre. Even if they belonged to the same race, their physiques would sometimes be worlds apart. Usually, bloodlines would be what directly determined physique. For example, the Flame Horn Clan had creatures of all shapes and sizes. The large ones were more than a hundred feet tall while the tiny ones were but a few inches in height. They both belonged to the Flame Horn Clan. One race was like this, and there were hundreds of tribes in the ancient land. Only if they had the same bloodlines would their physiques be the same.
The five creatures belonged to the Flame Horn Clan, but their physiques were all different.
From the pillar of lightning, a human silhouette slowly walked out. He wore a cape and a bamboo hat and his entire person was hidden in the shadows. His body emanated a mysterious but powerful aura. It was none other than Mo Wen who was deliberately in disguise.
Behind Mo Wen was Sa'anqi who had a bitter smile on his face. They were wreaking havoc in the Flame Horn Clan's Lie Ban City. Even in Sa'anqi's wildest dreams, he had never imagined that such an incident would occur. Although he was from the ten major races of the ancient land, he was only a small figure among his race. Not even their Worm Shark Clan Clan Leader would dare to simply bully a large clan like the Flame Horn Clan.
”Sa'anqi, it's you! What is your Worm Shark Clan doing here? The Flame Horn Clan has no vendetta with you. Could it be that your clan is planning to go to war with our clan?”
The living creature who was the leader of the team recognized Sa'anqi at a glance. After all, Sa'anqi had stayed in the Lie Ban City for a while before this. Moreover, he was a member of the Worm Shark Clan and had cultivation at the Primordial Soul Realm. Creatures like Sa'anqi could be counted as part of the upper echelons in the Lie Ban City. Therefore, it was not odd for members of the mayor's manor to recognize him.
”My trip to the Lie Ban City this time is of my own accord. It is not related to the Worm Shark Clan. Halina, I am here in spite of myself,” Sa'anqi said helplessly. His life was in the hands of others; he could only suffer in silence.
”In spite of yourself?”
The facial expression of the creature named Halina changed drastically, and he stared at the mysterious person in a bamboo hat and cape. As the manager of the mayor's manor, he was skillful at observing the situation and examining a man's language. He immediately figured out the situation roughly based on Sa'anqi's expression and his words.
So it turned out that Sa'anqi was in Lie Ban City because he had been threatened. However, not only did Sa'anqi have Primordial Soul Realm cultivation, but he was also a member of the ten major clans. Who would dare to threaten him?
”Sir, who are you? If we have a vendetta with each other, you can say it out loud. If our Lie Ban Tribe is at fault, we will surely apologize.”
Halina stared at Mo Wen who was hidden under the bamboo hat and cape, and his facial expression turned serious. This person actually dared to threaten Sa'anqi. This was enough to prove that he was powerful.
”We are not at odds with each other. I am here to visit the Lie Ban Tribe in order to acquire something. If you can fulfill my request, I will leave immediately and not disturb anyone,” Mo Wen said plainly.
Upon hearing Mo Wen's words, the facial expression of all five creatures from the Lie Ban Tribe changed drastically. This person was blatantly here to steal things from them! He had actually made it sound so natural. Could it be that he thought the Flame Horn Clan was a pushover?
”Halina, don't waste time babbling with him. He dares to bully our Lie Ban Tribe. I want to savor him slowly after I roast him.”
