Misty Cloud City, Hai family’s main hall.

    Hai Yulong was quietly standing to the side, not daring to make a sound.

    Ao Sheng had shrunk his body down the best he could, not daring to even breathe loudly.

    Sitting at the top was the Hai family’s current patriarch, Hai Tongtian.

    He was an expert at the Holy Spirit 8th rank!

    He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with no expression on his face and no ripples in his eyes. It was as if he were air, completely non-existent.

    But the tiny bit of aura escaping from his body was able to completely suppress everyone in the main hall.

    Beside him was a scroll.

    It was the scroll that Ao Sheng brought back from Towering Cloud City.

    This scroll was something only the person who refined it could unfurl.

    However, opening such a low-level scroll was not difficult for the Hai family. This was because the Hai family had three sorcerers whose heaven’s chosen power was extremely strong, so it was very easy for them to lift the restriction from the scroll.

    But Hai Tongtian never called for the Hai family’s sorcerers out.

    After a while, Hai Tongtian said calmly, “You have handled this matter very well. I am very pleased that you are putting the Hai family first.”

    Ao Sheng’s heart relaxed, but cold sweat had already been dripping down his back. Hearing Hai Tongtian’s words, he immediately replied respectfully, “It is my honor to be able to work for the Hai family.”

    Even though he was a steward of the Misty Cloud Academy, when meeting the Hai family’s patriarch, a person right beneath an Honorable Emperor, Ao Sheng looked like he couldn’t wait to lick the guy’s toes.

    Hai Tongtian’s eyes were still calm as he said, “Take the scroll back and give it to the people who will be reviewing it. There is a message that I want you to pass along: I want Luo Tian and his group of people to pass, regardless of whether they have violated any rules or not. All of them must pass.”

    Ao Sheng immediately said, “Order received!”

    He didn’t ask and didn’t dare to ask why Hai Tongtian was doing this.

    The second round of the selection for the Misty Cloud Academy will be held in Misty Cloud City. Once Luo Tian arrives there, it will have a very negative impact on the Hai family if people find out that a disciple on the Poseidon leaderboard was killed by him. Moreover, Wu Sha was killed by a martial artist who had a lower cultivation base and a shattered dantian where he couldn’t even absorb the yuan energy from heaven and earth. This would be even more humiliating.

    “You may go now,” said Hai Tongtian.

    He then waved his hand, and without touching the scroll on the table, the scroll flew out by itself and landed in front of Ao Sheng accurately.

    His voice was very hoarse, sounding like it was coming from the depths of hell. There was also an evil aura emanating from his figure.

    Hai Tongtian shook his head and said, “I am very curious to know what kind of person can use their Condensation Element cultivation to kill someone at the peak of the Martial Void realm. I want to know everything about him. Ghost Servant, help me gather all the details about him. If possible, go to the low level world where he is from. I think it’s the Tianxuan Continent. Go investigate and find out what kind of person this Luo Tian is.”

    A voice replied from under the black robe, “Order received!”

    As the voice faded, the black robe seemed to collapse into the ground and disappear.

    Hai Tongtian continued staring at the darkening sky and muttered, “Luo Tian...”

    The outer periphery of the Boundless Mountains.

    “Achooo~!”

    “Achooo~!”

    “Achooo~!”

    Luo Tian sneezed three times in a row, spraying out all his snot. He then cursed, “Fucking hell! Who the hell is scheming against this daddy?!”

    “Boss!”

    “I received news that someone saw the disciples of the four great families stop chasing after us. We can relax for a bit now.” Bai Xiong said with a smile.

    Luo Tian already knew this would happen.

    The Boundless Mountain Range was too dangerous, so the people from the four great families didn’t dare to enter.

    If Deng Leigong forced his people to come in, their group would most likely end up dying.

    Luo Tian immediately ordered, “Tell everyone to rest for a day. Tell our fellow brothers that they should still maintain their vigilance while restoring their yuan energy. We still have a long way to go.”

    Bai Lingling then asked, “Where are we going?”

    Luo Tian stared at the high mountain range in the distance before saying with a heavy breath, “Boundless City!”

    Bai Lingling replied in shock, “That would mean crossing the Boundless Mountain Range! Can we get through it with our strength?”

    Luo Tian grinned and pulled Bai Lingling into his arms before saying, “I will take care of everything.”
