The Battle Through Heaven
Competing for Wormhole
Xiao Yan and Lin Yan walked towards the city when a majestic city wall, which carried a foreboding aura, appeared in front of them. Men came and went under the towering gates of the city. The entire place was filled with a noisy atmosphere.
The two of them smoothly entered the city. They saw a wide street and in the shops and endless buildings on both sides of the road. The black mass of human heads and the noise they created on the streets turned into huge sound waves that spread out, flooding the clouds.
’’ Tianhuang City is really excited. It might even be comparable to some of the most prosperous cities in the Black-Corner Region. ” Xiao Yan involuntarily flicked his tongue and praised as he looked to the mighty city and human traffic.
’’ This is the Central Region of the Central Plains, the central area of the entire continent. Although the Black-Corner Region was also quite powerful, how could it compare to this place? ’’ Lin Yan laughs. He immediately identified their route and led Xiao Yan to the location of the Liu clan house. He had lived in this place for a period of time. Hence, he was quite familiar with Tianhuang City.
Xiao Yan followed behind Lin Yan. They walked on several long streets and took several turns before an extremely wide manor appeared before their eyes.
This manor is huge. Moreover, there were several guards with weapons in their hands currently outside of the manor. Their watchful gaze swept around them.
Xiao Yan was startled when he saw the tight defense of the manor. He said in surprise, ” Is there a need for so many guards in broad daylight? ’
Lin Yan was also stunned. A moment later, he frowned and softly said, ’It seems that something is wrong. The Liu clan had not posted so many guards in the past. Wait a minute .. ’’Once Lin Yan says this, his eyes wander before he stops a man hastily walking past. He cupped his hands together and smiled as he asked, ” Friends, may I know what has happened in this Tianhuang City? Why is the Liu clan acting like this? ’
The person that Lin Yan had stopped glancing at him doubtfully before asking. ’Did you come from somewhere else? Currently, the Liu clan and the Cheng clan were fighting for the Wormhole management rights. The two clans had led quite a number of people to an open area in the middle of the city. Everyone in the city had been running around to watch the show. ’
Lin Yan once again knit his brows when he heard this. He cupped his hands to the person in front of him before turning around and walking to Xiao Yan's side. In a soft voice, he whispered, ” Sorry, I remember that/it should be the Liu clan's turn to have the Wormhole management rights this year. Why did the fight happen? ’
Xiao Yan had also heard what that person had said before. He immediately grinned and said, ” Don't we know if we're heading to the middle of town and see? ‘
Lin Yan nodded. He immediately laughed, ’’ Looks like Liu Qing is not easy being the clan head. Follow me, such a fight is unusual .. ’
After saying this, Lin Yan turned around and led the way. He quickly walked to the middle of the city. Xiao Yan also smiled and followed behind.
………….
In the middle of Tianhuang city was an extremely vast area made of green stone. A stone platform was located in the middle of the open ground. On it was a huge dark-black Wormhole that was slowly rotating. Surprising spatial ripples spread from it.
Currently, the area around the open ground was occupied by a dense sea of humans. The sound from it was like the sound of a demon, causing one's eardrum to feel pain. Countless numbers of curious eyes were watching the middle of the open ground. There were two groups of people facing each other in that place.
’’ Chen Yao, Wormhole should be managed by my Liu clan this year. What do you mean by your actions today? ’
The one leading the group on the left side was a well-built man. He frowned and there was an aura of strength even without anger. This kind of face was somewhat familiar. If one looked carefully, one would realize that/that person could not be anyone other than Liu Qing.
The current Liu Qing no longer had the spirit he had back then. Changing that spirit was a kind of calm. After all, the Liu clan needed a qualified clan head, not a young and impulsive child.
There were two white-haired old men behind Liu Qing. These two people stood up randomly, but they had majestic auras that were quietly rippling. No one dared to underestimate them as a result. Moreover, there was a large and beautiful figure standing at the side. This woman was wearing red clothes. Her face was like a peach flower and was filled with allure. Any man who sees it will be interested. This face is familiar too. He had an alluring name, Liu Fei. Back then, he had a minor conflict with Xiao Yan in the Inner Academy.
However, after a few years, the now-appearing Liu Fei grew even more alluring. He was like a ripe peach that caused the eyes of quite a number of men to involuntarily drift towards him.
” Hee hee, Liu Qing, if we talk about it, you are the younger generation than me. You should not speak in an impolite manner to the senior. ’
There was a large group of fierce-looking similar people across from Liu Qing's group. Their leader was a middle-aged man. His eyes glanced at Liu Qing in an evil way before he let out a strange laugh.
Liu Qing's face revealed a cold smile when he heard this. He was just about to say something when the voice of the old man sounded on the open ground.
’’ This is the latest order from my Burning Flame Valley. ’’
’’ Elder Chi Huo from Burning Flame Valley? ’’
The open ground emitted many exclamations as people looked at this old man. The expressions of Liu Qing and the two old men behind him changed slightly. Immediately, they cupped their hands and said politely, ’’ That is actually Elder Chi Huo. May I know what the reason for this new order is? According to the rules in the past, now was not the time to give up the management rights of the Wormhole. ’
’’The Valley Chief has given the order. He needed some high-level alchemists to go to the Burning Flame Valley to help his elderly self refine medicinal pills. However, he had not found a suitable person until now. Therefore, he had issued this order. Any clan that could find a high-level alchemist would obtain the Wormhole management rights. It will be effective for three years. ” The old man called Elder Chi Huo spoke in a weak voice.
’’ The Cheng Clan has found a tier 6 alchemist who has been recognized by the Pill Tower. If your Liu clan can also find one and invite him to follow me to the Burning Fire Valley, this Wormhole will be handed over to you. In addition, the rights will be extended from one year to three years. ’’ Elder Chi Huo pointed towards the Cheng clan. There was an old man in a purple-colored alchemist robe, who was standing with his hands behind him.
’’ A tier 6 alchemist? ’’ Liu Qing's expression changed when she heard this. Their Liu clan did indeed have an alchemist. However, the best was only a tier 5 alchemist. They never had a tier 6 alchemist. After all, an alchemist at that level would be able to obtain good treatment from a faction like the Burning Flame Valley. Who would come to their clan, which was neither big nor small?
’’ Elder Chi Huo, this matter happened too suddenly. Can you give our Liu clan a few days. We will definitely go look for a tier 6 alchemist. ” Liu Qing's expression changed quickly before she spoke in this manner.
Elder Chi Huo shook his head. His voice was monotonous. ’’ This is an order personally given by the Valley Chief. Who would dare to delay? Forget about your Liu clan, even the old me did not have that ability. If your Liu clan fails to invite a tier 6 alchemist today, you will hand over the Wormhole management rights to the Cheng clan. ’
Liu Qing's expression was very bad when he heard Elder Chi Huo not giving them the slightest face. He clenched his hand. Where would he go and look for a tier 6 alchemist in a day? Do they really think that/that tier 6 alchemists are as common as cabbage? An alchemist at such a level was a power near the top even within the Pill Tower.
” This old man, who will not die, must have been bribed by the Cheng clan! ” Liu Fei gritted her silver teeth behind Liu Qing as she spoke with great displeasure.
’’Shut your mouth!’ ’Expression Liu Qing sank. When he heard it, Liu Fei could only stomp her feet while feeling aggrieved. He stopped talking after that.
” What should we do, Elder? ” Liu Qing turned his head, looked at the two old men behind him, and sighed.
The two old men could only laugh when they heard this. They said, ‘’We also heard vague information about Burning Flame Valley looking for high level alchemists. However, we didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly .. Fei-er may be right. One had to tell the Cheng clan beforehand. I have also heard of this tier 6 alchemist. It was rumored that/that he was a high rank alchemist who advanced to the old tier 6 level. It was extremely difficult to find someone of a higher level in Tianhuang City. ’
Liu Qing's heart sank when he heard the two of them talking in such a manner. His fist clenched tightly until it let out a cracking sound. Wormhole was too important to the Liu clan. This is a huge source of income for them. Only with this income as a foundation would their Liu clan be able to hire people who were more capable of expanding their faction. However, if it was snatched away by the Cheng clan, their rate of development would end up slowing down if it did not stop.
’Ke Ke, Liu's nephew, you shouldn't continue to have bees on the hood of your car. Just calmly handing over the management rights of the Wormhole. If I am happy in the future, I might allot a little profit for the Liu clan to enjoy. ” The middle-aged man named Cheng Yao involuntarily laughed in a strange way when he saw Liu Qing's changing expression.
Liu Qing's face had turned much greener when he heard the calm scorn from the other party. However, he was currently the head of the Liu clan. Every action was necessary to consider the entire clan. He immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and clenched his teeth with great unwillingness. Afterwards, he spoke in a deep and dark voice, ’’ Cheng Yao, you can consider yourself cruel! Let's go!”
After saying this, Liu Qing could only wave his hand with a green face before turning to leave.
” Hee hee, Liu Qing, this is not like you. You're going to give up this way. ” A figure suddenly rushed out from outside the open ground and laughed at Liu Qing when he had just turned his body.
’’ Lin Yan? ’’
Liu Qing was surprised when he saw the person who had arrived. He immediately sighed as he said with a bitter smile, ” Forget it. Lefs go. You are not a tier 6 alchemist and cannot help me. ’
Hearing this, Lin Yan laughed in a strange way. He said, ” I may not be able to help you, but someone can help you. ” After saying these words, he turned his head, and shouted to the sky, ” How long will you stay there? ”
Liu Qing, Liu Fei, and the others were shocked when they saw Lin Yan's actions. They immediately raised their heads, only to see a young man walking in the air, heading. Immediately, the young man landed gently on the ground.
’’Walk in the air, an elite Dou Zong?’
The hearts of Liu Qing's group felt a chill upon seeing this scene. He was just about to cupped his hands together and say a few polite words when a familiar laugh, which he could not forget, suddenly sounded. This laughter caused his body to suddenly stiffen.
’’ Liu Qing, it has been several years since we last met. Are you okay?” If you find any errors (broken links, non-standard content, etc.), please let us know so that we can fix them as soon as possible.
