Chapter 244 – Bastard, I’m Here (1/2)

Breaking through to the Profound King realm!

He had to break through!

Although he was able to defeat Luo Kun with a blade strike, Luo Tian could clearly feel the gap in strength between a Profound Spirit ranker and a Profound King ranker.

He had to breakthrough to the Profound King realm!

If Luo Kun was already this strong, then Du Yuansong’s strength could be easily imagined.

Moreover…

After entering Heavenly Sword City, Luo Tian felt his Profound Spirit 9th rank was really inadequate here. A random member of the Palace Guards was already at the Profound Spirit 9th rank, so how was he going to rescue An Chunchun’s mother with this little bit of strength of his?

Now that An Chunchun was kidnapped, he wanted to go rescue her.

He would go right now if he could…

But what was he going to use to rescue her?

Luo Tian was very clear this place was not like Jade Mountain City. This was Heavenly Sword City and a Profound Spirit ranker was no different than a lowly dog. Experts at the Profound King realm were crawling all over this place. If one wanted to establish themselves and make their name known to the world, one must have sufficient strength!

No one will show you leniency just because you’re a Profound Spirit ranker at a young age; they might even be more ruthless to cut off all future problems.

In the world of martial warriors, they don’t split people up by their age and only differentiated them by strength.

When Luo Tian suddenly asked him this, Tang Jiu’s heart sank. Seeing how Luo Tian’s gaze was so firm, he replied: “To the west of Heavenly Sword city, about 800 kilometers away is the Spectral Forbidden Grounds. Back then, it was a huge battlefield that had buried over ten million bodies. Those devil race members died but their souls didn’t dissipate, gradually becoming specters. But it’s extremely dangerous there because the devil race…”

“Ninth brother!”

“I have a request for you.” Luo Tian didn’t wait for Tang Jiu to finish his sentence.

The more dangerous the place, the higher the level the monsters were.

The higher the level, the higher amount of experience they would give.

This was exactly what Luo Tian wanted.

He needed experience points really badly. If he could, he would’ve killed his way to the so called Spectral Forbidden Grounds already. He would level up to the Profound King realm, kill his way to the Du Manor, and then rip Du Yuansong into thousands of pieces.

Tang Jiu replied: “Go ahead and say it.”

Luo Tian then said: “I have a little sister that was kidnapped by Du Yuansong. She’s… she’s of the demon fox clan.”

Luo Tian hesitated for a bit, but still revealed An Chunchun’s identity.

He didn’t want to lie to Tang Jiu.

Because Luo Tian treated him like a brother.

Tang Jiu’s expression change as he excitedly asked: “A demon fox girl? Idol, could it be that you came for her mother?”

He immediately thought of the huge auction in a month’s time.

There were already rumors abound that the auction would have a woman of the demon fox clan. Hearing what Luo Tian had said, Tang Jiu immediately connected it to him coming here for that demon fox woman.

Luo Tian’s expression also became a bit surprised. “So it is at an auction house… how much time is left?”

Tang Jiu replied: “There’s a little over a month. The location will be at the eastern city’s Dao Shang auction house.”

“A little more than a month!”

Luo Tian gulped and said to himself: “It’s about the same timeline for my quest. It looks like I can’t just breakthrough into the Profound King realm; I need to go a few more levels higher than that in order to prepare for the auction.”

The day of the auction will definitely be a tough battle.

Seeing Luo Tian’s expression, Tang Jiu was certain Luo Tian came here for that demon fox clan woman. His eyebrows faintly furrowed as he said in an unwilling tone: “The Dao Shang Alliance have businesses spread throughout every corner of the continent. They hold one-third of the combined wealth of the entire human race in Tianxuan Continent. Since they hold so many resources in their hands, their influence is no worse than my Great Tang Dynasty. Idol, I…”

He wanted to use his status as the Ninth Prince and bring that woman out of the Dao Shang Alliance for Luo Tian.

But…
