Chapter 985: Wreaking Havoc in Lie Ban City

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

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.

The male and female creatures of the Flame Horn Clan were easily distinguishable. From their attire, one could tell them apart at a glance. Of course, in terms of physique, there were rather large differences between males and females.

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.”

A shrill female voice sounded from among the five creatures. It was from a foreign clan female with a bizarre appearance. When Mo Wen saw her, he could not possibly make the connection between her and the female sex.

She was a blue-skinned creature with a relatively petite figure. The surface of her skin was uneven and like a crocodile’s skin, with bone spurs protruding on her skin. The bone spurs emanated a faint blue glow; they were clearly poisonous.

Compared to the other four, she obviously had the shortest temper. She attacked immediately without discussing it with the rest.

A blue light flashed, and she appeared before Mo Wen in an instant.

All five members from the mayor’s manor had Primordial Soul Realm cultivation. Even the weakest among them was at the intermediate stage of the Primordial Soul Realm. The tall creature who was the leader was at the later stage of the Primordial Soul Realm. Besides, he was close to achieving great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm.

Even though the blue-skinned creature was short-tempered, her cultivation was extraordinary. She was a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator. She traversed a distance of a hundred meters in an instant and appeared right in front of Mo Wen. Her claws, which were covered with blotches, went straight for Mo Wen’s throat. A glint of cold light flashed past her sharp nails.

The other four saw the blue-skinned creature attacking, but they did not stop her. They merely stared intently at Mo Wen. They also wanted to see what abilities this person had.

Rumble!

There was a huge rumble, Before the others could figure out what had occurred, the blue-skinned creature was sent flying backward, collapsing seven to eight tall buildings on her way. Dust and debris immediately swept up in the city, filling the air.

“What?”

“Impossible!”

…

The expressions of the remaining four creatures changed drastically. They frantically retreated a few steps and looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. He had actually sent Focher flying outwards with one blow. Calling this battle one-sided was an understatement. It really wasn’t a battle at all. Instead, it was like a giant bullying a small child.

Although Focher’s cultivation was not the strongest, it was enough to be ranked among the top three among them. With later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivation, she was even only second to Halina.

Sa’anqi was also staring wide-eyed. He knew that this human called Mo Wen was very powerful, but he had never imagined that he had such ability. Focher was a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator. Her ability far surpassed his own. In the entire Lie Ban Tribe, she would probably rank among the top ten. Even the Lie Ban Tribe Chief would not necessarily be able to send her flying so easily.

It was not just Sa’anqi and the four members of the mayor’s manor. The spectators in the streets around Lie Ban City were also staring wide-eyed. The mysterious person was extremely powerful. He most likely could put up a fight against the Lie Ban Tribe Chief.

The spectators in Lie Ban City were mostly cultivators that had no affiliation with the mayor’s manor. Most of them were not even members of the Flame Horn Clan. In such a situation, they would not foolishly stick their necks out. However, the members of the mayor’s manor were different. One by one, the foreign clan cultivators flew out from the mayor’s manor and surrounded Mo Wen. The soldiers in the city also swarmed out rapidly. While maintaining order in the city, they also sealed off all the major exits of the city.

“Immediately send word to the Lord Chief. The Lie Ban Tribe is being invaded by an outsider. Please request that Lord Chief return to handle the situation,” Halina said with a sullen expression. The situation at hand was already beyond his abilities. The Lord Chief might be the only one who could deal with this.

Coincidentally, the Lord Chief was out hunting in the Red Hot Desert and was not in Lie Ban City.

Among the five creatures, an ugly creature that was jet-black from top to bottom and that had a pair of huge fleshy wings immediately turned around and flew out of the city. He was so fast that he broke through the sound barrier. He flew out of Lie Ban City in an instant.

He seemed to be very afraid that Mo Wen would catch up with him, so as he flew at high speeds and also kept cautiously looking behind him.

Mo Wen had no interest in pursuing him and allowed the ugly creature to leave. He had long since sensed that the Lie Ban Tribe Chief was not in the city. Hence, he had begun to wreak havoc in Lie Ban City, with the goal of “inviting” the Lie Ban Tribe Chief to come back.

“Sir, what exactly do you want?” Halina asked with an ugly expression. This person had come to wreak havoc in Lie Ban City with such fanfare, just to take something from them?

“Rumor has it that the Flame Horn Clan produces Fire Leaving Stones. You only need to give me three Fire Leaving Stones, and I will leave immediately. I will certainly not trouble you further,” Mo Wen said.

“Three Fire Leaving Stones!”

Halina was so mad that he almost laughed. His facial expression was distorted, revealing his extreme anger. For the Flame Horn Clan, the Fire Leaving Stones were not only treasures, but they were also sacred items. In the entire ancient land, the Flame Horn Clan lacked Fire Leaving Stones the least. It was because they had the most Fire Leaving Stones. However, they were also the race who were most in need of the Fire Leaving Stones. It was because the Fire Leaving Stones were the most important treasures for the Flame Horn Clan.

Everyone knew that the Fire Leaving Stones were treasures that the Flame Horn Clan would never trade. There were only a few times where an exception was made. Across history, the Flame Horn Clan had offered a few Fire Leaving Stones as a tribute to the Three Great Kings of the ancient land before. As for other races, they couldn’t get any even if they offered a huge amount of money.

This mysterious person had asked for three Fire Leaving Stones at once. It was hard to say whether their entire Lie Ban Tribe even had three Fire Leaving Stones. This mysterious person was practically challenging their limit.
