Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Chapter 1098: All-out War (3 in 1)

Outside the spatial world, Ao Sheng’s face was uglier than a pig’s liver.

His eyes looked like they wanted to eat Luo Tian alive, and killing intent surged out of him as he shouted, “You, you, you…”

While glaring at Luo Tian, Ao Sheng couldn’t say anything else but the word “you” a few times.

The rage inside him was practically erupting like a volcano, but he didn’t dare to make a move against Luo Tian. The main reason is that if Wu Sha, who was ranked #990 in the Poseidon rankings, couldn’t deal with Luo Tian, could he?

Definitely not!

Ao Sheng had a feeling he was not a match for Luo Tian.

When he saw Luo Tian come out of the spatial world with an arrogant smirk, he held down the deep-seated hatred he had for him.

It took a while for Ao Sheng to suppress the hatred in his heart. He then finally smiled and said, “Luo Tian, congratulations to you!”

Luo Tian replied with a smile, “It was all thanks to you, Lord Ao. If you hadn’t made us go in late, how could we have beaten this round of the exam? Lord Ao, you are really too kind to us. Hahaha…”

Ao Sheng’s face twisted into anger.

His gaze darkened as he whispered, “Did you really kill Wu Sha?”

Luo Tian pretended he didn’t know anything and replied, “Who is Wu Sha? I have never heard of that name. Is he or she a disciple of the four great families? Or a disciple of a smaller family in Towering Cloud City? Lord Ao, I really haven’t heard of this person you are asking of.”

“You…”

Ao Sheng narrowed his eyes. He had never recorded Wu Sha’s name in the participant roster because he didn’t want to be involved that much on paper. The Hai family was the Hai family, while the Misty Cloud Academy was the Misty Cloud Academy. Both behemoths had their own rules, and Wu Sha was sent to kill Luo Tian.

Once Luo Tian dies, Wu Sha will quickly leave the spatial world and not delay the assessment of the Misty Cloud Academy.

What Ao Sheng never expected was this current outcome.

When he heard some of the disciples from the four great families, who had escaped first and narrated the details, he still refused to believe Luo Tian had the ability to kill Wu Sha. To him, this was an impossible matter. No matter how strong Luo Tian was, he could not be a match for Wu Sha.

One needs to know the Poseidon ranks were only for the strongest Hai family members.

The one thousand Hai family disciples in the rankings were all beyond strong.

Even though Ao Sheng refused to believe it, he still had to accept the details within the spatial world. No one else had come out from the spatial world, which meant Wu Sha had indeed died in there.

The words from those disciples were true. Wu Sha was killed by Luo Tian. He was killed by Luo Tian, who had transformed into some demonic entity.

Luo Tian said foolishly, “What’s going on? Lord Ao, why are you asking about this Wu Sha? I really don’t know this person, so why are you asking me about him or her?”

Ao Sheng knew Luo Tian was pretending to be dumb but didn’t want to publicly declare Wu Sha’s identity. Otherwise, his position in the Misty Cloud Academy could be affected. He furrowed his brow and reprimanded in a low voice, “Luo Tian, don’t be too smug. You and I both know what his identity is. You should know the consequences of killing him. Even if you somehow manage to become an Honorable Emperor powerhouse, you still won’t be able to escape death on the Central Continent!”

After saying that, Ao Sheng flicked his sleeves, furled up the scroll, and went back into his courtyard.

Bai Xiong walked over and asked, “Boss, what did that old thing talk to you about?”

Luo Tian replied, “Nothing much. He was just saying some congratulatory words, haha…”

Seeing Ao Sheng’s back disappear, Luo Tian clenched his fists inside his sleeves. He then said to himself, “I won’t be able to escape death? I really want to see who will be trying to escape death later on. Motherfuckers, I have to die after offending the Hai family? For those that offend me, they won’t be able to escape death even if the Heavenly Emperor comes to help them out!”

Luo Tian didn’t tell the truth because he didn’t want Bai Xiong to worry about it.

This was a matter for him alone to deal with.

He wanted to use his own ways to take care of this.

After being treated so unfairly by Ao Sheng and now being threatened by him, Ao Sheng’s name was already on Luo Tian’s death list.

Apart from Ao Sheng hating Luo Tian to the bones, the people of the four great families were also glaring at Luo Tian with hatred.

The disciples of the four great families were considered completely wiped out because not a single one of them passed the first round of the assessment!

Moreover, most of them had died inside. The only surviving ones were the disciples who made the decision to crush their identity tokens right from the start were spared. There was no doubt that all of them died at Luo Tian’s hands. The eyes of the patriarchs of the four great families were bloodshot because of this. They wanted to chop up Luo Tian and dice his meat into minced meat!

Bai Qi had a rosy complexion on his face as he walked over with a big smile. He stopped at Luo Tian’s side and said, “Good son-in-law! You really didn’t let me down, hahaha… So what if you suffered a lot of injustice? So what if the people from the four great families allied themselves against you? They were still routed by you! What a funny joke!”

“Hahaha…”

The elders and disciples of the Bai family all sighed in relief.

It felt like they had vented their anger upon seeing Luo Tian and the other three. They all walked closer and stood behind Luo Tian. They stared back at the people from the four great families, who were all staring at Luo Tian with a predatory gaze.

Everyone was on guard at this moment.

“Humph~!” Deng Leigong gave a deep harrumph.

Even though Yi Yunmeng warned him not to make things difficult for Luo Tian, he felt that Yi Yunmeng no longer had the high status she had before after the incident with Hai Yulong.

Misty Cloud Academy’s number one iceberg beauty had become the number one ugly girl.

Since that was the case, then there was really nothing for him to worry about. After harrumphing, Deng Leigong said, “Bai Qi, even if all four of your family members passed the first round of the assessment, so what? We don’t know how your people passed the assessment, but their actions are clearly recorded in the scroll. With such heavy bloodshed, I doubt your four family members will be able to pass the review of the Misty Cloud Academy. You just wait and see!”

He used to be a student of the Misty Cloud Academy, so he knew the first round would be reviewed by the academy.

Since so many disciples from the four great families were either dead or injured, there was no way Luo Tian could pass the first round.

Bai Qi’s eyes showed some startlement as he forgot about this momentarily. But he didn’t want morale to fall at this time, so he sneered, “Deng Leigong, even if what you say is true, so what? Even if my family members fail the first round, it is still enough to show that the four families joined forces against us but were still defeated by the Bai family. Hahaha… Besides, just because you say they can’t pass the first round, does it really mean they can’t? Are you the examiner? Deng Leigong, you’re getting old. Do you think your standing is still the same as before? And you know everything about how the Misty Cloud Academy works? Humph~! You really must think you are still something special!”

Bai Qi was not giving him any face at all.

He made Deng Leigong, the Towering Cloud City’s number one expert and the patriarch of the number one family like he wasn’t even worth a penny.

Deng Leigong was so angry that his face turned red. The aura from his body instantly surged out as he glared at Bai Qi, “Presumptuous!”

Bai Qi showed no fear and said, “I like being presumptuous, so what can you do about it? If you dare to make a move against me here, that means you are not giving the Misty Cloud Academy any face. I would really like to see what you can do to me.”

Those words were arrogant and domineering!

This made Luo Tian look at him differently.

The patriarchs from the other three great families immediately came over to dissuade him. “Old Man Deng, this is not the place to fight. There are many people from Towering Cloud City present, so we can’t look like a joke in front of them.”

“That’s right!”

“Old Man Deng, the Bai family won’t be able to jump around for long.”

When those patriarchs spoke, they were all glancing at Luo Tian.

They weren’t too afraid of him before, but now, they were quite wary of him, especially after what happened inside the spatial world and his breaking through four small realms in just a few days. This kind of cultivation speed was inconceivable to them. If they hadn’t known about Luo Tian’s cultivation realm prior to entering the spatial world, they would never have believed it, no matter what anyone says.

Deng Leigong gave another heavy harrumph and flicked his sleeves. He then loudly proclaimed, “Bai Qi, since you are implying that even after our four families formed an alliance, we are no match for your Bai family… Today, I will represent my Deng family, the Ouyang family, the Zhang family, and the Li family in declaring war against your Bai family. I would really like to see how strong your Bai family is!”

“I agree.”

“I also agree.”

“I… also agree.”

Even Bai Qi himself did not expect this outcome. He had thought that the Bai family would showcase their prowess and the entire family would celebrate for trampling on the other four great families. He never expected that Deng Leigong would suddenly declare war on the Bai family.

And it wasn’t just one family but all four of the strongest families in Towering Cloud City!

Bai Qi’s heart instantly felt as if it had fallen into an abyss. His face looked a bit unsightly as he stared at Deng Leigong and asked solemnly, “Deng Leigong, are you sure you want to do this?”

Deng Leigong replied with a smile, “I am definitely sure I want to do this. Didn’t you say that the joint alliance of all four of our families couldn’t deal with your Bai family? That’s why I really want to see exactly how strong your Bai family is! Humph~!”

“Bai Qi, we will start now.”

“Us four families will join forces to suppress your disciples, your allies, and your businesses in Towering Cloud City. We will spare no effort until the Bai family is completely eradicated!”

After saying that, Deng Leigong turned around sharply and looked at the people of Towering Cloud City, especially the members of the second-rate clans. “From today onwards, anyone who dares to help the Bai family is opposing me, Deng Leigong, and opposing the four great families. The outcome of that will be death!”

The crowd was shocked upon hearing this, and no one dared to say a word.

Those smaller families either nodded or bowed, not daring to make a sound in case it was considered a form of defiance.

In an instant, the Bai family had been isolated in Towering Cloud City.

Bai Qi’s expression darkened.

At this moment, it wasn’t just Bai Qi, but all the Bai family disciples and elders had unsightly looks on their faces. None of them imagined Deng Leigong would form an alliance with the other three great families and declare war on their Bai family. This had completely caught them off guard!

At best, the Bai family’s strength was comparable to the Ouyang, Li, and Zhang families. However, after the coup by Bai Yuan, the Bai family’s strength suffered a big setback. They were now weaker than the Ouyang family, not to mention the Deng family, which was like a juggernaut.

The Bai family was not their match!

Bai Qi was so angry that he couldn’t even speak.

This move was extremely brilliant.

The Bai family had four disciples who passed the first round of the assessment, while the other four great families had no one. So, it would be best to suppress the Bai family as soon as possible. The Bai family’s influence in Towering Cloud City will definitely increase rapidly, but this will take some time.

Deng Leigong wasn’t going to give the Bai family any time to grow.

This was a sudden declaration of war!

Thus, the Bai family was instantly plunged into a crisis.

Bai Qi had an ugly look on his face as he felt the enormous pressure on him. This kind of pressure was something he had never felt before, not even when Bai Yuan tried to take over. He was completely suppressed by Deng Leigong.

Luo Tian watched this play out and walked forward with a sneer. He stared at Deng Leigong and the other three patriarchs and said, “Declaring war, huh? Exactly the way I like it. That will save me from going to one family at a time. All of you came at me together.”

“That’s right!”

“Since you guys declared war, then let’s start right away!”

“This daddy would like to see what the joint alliance of the four great families can do. Inside the spatial world, your disciples all died in front of me. So, if you want to take revenge, then come at me together.”

“Let’s fight!”

Luo Tian was incredibly arrogant.

His domineering momentum was blocking Deng Leigong’s momentum!

Bai Xiong also shouted, “Let’s fight!”

Lin Dong added, “I had an unpleasant experience inside the spatial world. Since the four great families are so sinister, we should just fight right now!”

The momentum was flipped, and the people from the four great families were being suppressed by just three people.

The main reason was that Luo Tian had exploded with a terrifying power within the spatial world. In the eyes of the four great families, Luo Tian was an alien who had cultivated countless powerful martial skills. No one could say for sure if he would suddenly bring out an even more powerful ability.

As for Luo Tian, he just wanted to start the fight right away because he needed experience points, yuan energy, and those very useful sin points!

However, Deng Leigong smiled with narrowed eyes, “No need to be in a rush. We will fight eventually. Bai Qi, you just wait and see.”

After saying that, Deng Leigong waved his hand and said, “Head back and prepare!”

“Luo Tian, you are only one person. I want to see what qualifications you have to protect the Bai family and how you’re going to contend with all four of our families at the same time.”

“Let’s go!”

The people from the four great families quickly left.

The declaration of war wasn’t a joke.

They needed some time to come up with a plan to deal with Luo Tian.

Luo Tian was their biggest problem. If he wasn’t present, they would’ve started fighting right then and there.

Just because of Luo Tian’s existence, they had to hold back and couldn’t move recklessly.

In reality, if the war broke out right then and there, the Bai family would most likely be defeated, and everyone would die. The Bai family would be disbanded by the four great families in a single day, and their status as a great family would be removed from Towering Cloud City. Allowing the four great families to go back and discuss a countermeasure had actually given the Bai family a chance to catch their breath.

Bai Qi looked at Luo Tian, feeling that they had gambled too big.

Luo Tian looked at Bai Qi and said, “Uncle Bai, let us return first.”

Bai Qi immediately proclaimed, “Let’s return home!”

The branch of the Misty Cloud Academy.

Ao Sheng was anxiously pacing back and forth with the scroll in his hands. He didn’t know whether to hand it over or not. Once he handed it over, Misty Cloud Academy would discover that he had broken the rules by allowing Wu Sha to enter the assessment location. This was considered a serious violation.

If he doesn’t hand it over, how is he going to explain this to the Misty Cloud Academy?

This was an examination ground that a sorcerer had refined, so he had to hand it over.

Once handed over, he will definitely be punished. Moreover, the Hai family will definitely be unhappy with his performance. He didn’t know what to do because this would result in him losing favor with both factions. “Luo Tian, you son of a bitch! You really deserve to die!”

“What number 990?! What Wu Sha?! You couldn’t even get rid of a piece of trash in the Condensation Element realm, yet you dare to tell others you are on the Poseidon rankings!”

“What a piece of trash!”

The old man in the yellow robe saw how anxious Ao Sheng was, so he said, “Brother Ao, I think it’s best to report this to the Hai family first and let them decide. After all, we’ve done what we were told to do. It’s not our fault that Wu Sha couldn’t kill Luo Tian.”

“Moreover, even if the senior leaders of the Misty Cloud Academy see what happened in the scroll, they may not necessarily offend the Hai family for an unknown kid like Luo Tian. And the Misty Cloud Academy has leaders from the Hai family, too, so maybe they will take care of it.”

Ao Sheng’s eyes shook before a glint appeared in them. He said with a smile, “Thank you for the advice, Brother Huang. I will immediately head back to Misty Cloud City and notify the Hai family so they can decide what to do. I can also pass along some updated information on that dog thing Luo Tian.”

By doing this, he would be less likely to be punished.

The old man in the yellow robe replied, “That would be best.”

“Oh, right… Brother Ao, the Deng family has already allied with the other three families and declared war on the Bai family. I’m afraid after one night’s preparation, they will start fighting the next day. There’s no way the Bai family can resist them, so that kid Luo Tian might die under the combined attack of all four great families.”

“Will this affect the plans of the Hai family?”

They didn’t care if the five great families fought each other. It wouldn’t affect them one bit, even if a lot of people died because of it.

However, they were worried Luo Tian’s death would make the Hai family unhappy.

Ao Sheng thought for a bit before saying, “This matter isn’t our concern. Even if the Bai family has four disciples who have passed the assessment, their lives have nothing to do with us. They have only passed the first round of the assessment, so the Misty Cloud Academy has no obligations to protect them.”

The old man in the yellow robe nodded, “So we will just let them fight?”

Ao Sheng smiled and replied, “Let them fight to their heart’s content. What does that have to do with us?”

——————

Bai family.

The main hall was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

No one expected something like this to happen.

It wasn’t easy for the Bai family to reach what they have today. It took them nearly a hundred years before they became a silver level force. They were considered to have a stable foundation in Towering Cloud City. But now, they had to face the combined pressure from all four great families.

Moreover, it won’t be long until the army of the four great families attacks them. What was the Bai family going to use to stop them?

“Reporting!” A disciple suddenly ran into the main hall.

“Speak!”

With sweat dripping down his face, that disciple said, “Reporting to the patriarch – the Bai family’s pharmacy, blacksmith stores, restaurants, and two-thirds of various shops have all been wrecked by a group of martial artists at the Condensation Element realm. Basically, they cannot open for business now.”

No one spoke in the main hall after that.

Another disciple suddenly ran in.

“Something bad has happened!”

“Something bad has happened!”

“Patriarch! Over half the outer sect disciples want to leave the Bai family! Most of them are saying they don’t want to die with the Bai family. What should we do? We don’t have the manpower to stop them from leaving.”

Bai Qi’s expression changed as he muttered, “It’s started already?”

One of the elders stood up and said, “This is just the beginning. It will definitely get more turbulent later on. Patriarch, we are not the four great family’s match. How about we compromise with them? There has to be a way for us to appease them.”

While saying those words, his gaze unconsciously landed on Luo Tian’s figure.
