Chapter 1369: Cutting Grass Down To The Roots

Luo Tian showed not a bit of mercy.

All the disciples of the Deng family and the other three major families were killed!

As for Deng Leigong, who had escaped…

To cut grass, one must eradicate the roots.

Luo Tian was very clear on this principle, but he needed a guide.

He didn’t know where the Mountain Sea Devil Sect was, and Liu Zhan and the others knew even less. Therefore, Luo Tian needed Deng Leigong to lead the way for them.

Given Deng Leigong’s personality, he would definitely run off to the Mountain Sea Devil Sect to ask for reinforcements. He was dying to get rid of Luo Tian and would never let Luo Tian leave Towering Cloud City alive.

The Deng manor.

There was a strong bloody odor.

Liu Zhan, Kailin, and the others got off the roc.

They didn’t ask a single question about everything that had just happened in the Deng family, nor did they think Luo Tian’s actions were too cruel.

The only thing they knew was that whatever Luo Tian wanted to do, no matter what it was, they would support him with all their might.

Luo Tian said calmly, “A few months ago, the Bai family to which I belonged was hunted down until only fifty-some odd people were left. Back then, we fled like dogs. From the moment I left this place, I swore to myself that I would definitely return.”

In his heart, he silently added, “Uncle Bai Qi, only Deng Leigong is left. Rest assured, he won’t survive past tomorrow.”

Liu Zhan asked, “Boss, what are the plans now? You aren’t just going to let that old bastard get away, right?”

Luo Tian smiled and replied, “He will lead us straight to the Mountain Sea Devil Sect.”

“Huh?”

“The Mountain Sea Devil Sect?” Liu Zhan was momentarily stunned.

Luo Tian then added, “I am going to destroy it!”

The reason was simple: What did the four major families of a mere Towering Cloud City amount to? They were nothing more than a gold level force. With the strength of the Mountain Sea Devil Sect, they could easily churn out a whole bunch of such forces. Once the four major families were gone, another four major families would replace them. And they would still do the exact same thing, which was attack Boundless City!

To cut grass, one must cut it down to the roots.

The root to be cut down was exactly the Mountain Sea Devil Sect.

Boundless City was currently like a young seedling that had to be protected with all their might, just so it could grow sturdy and strong.

Moreover, Luo Tian had no intention of letting Boundless City take any risks.

Liu Zhan smiled excitedly and said, “Seeing you looking so majestic by yourself just now made my hands itch. When it comes to dealing with a devil sect, you have to let me make a move!”

“Hahaha…”

“Lord Luo Tian, count us in too. We didn’t follow you just to stand on the sidelines and watch the show,” Kailun said with a smile.

“That’s right, trivial matters like this should naturally be left to us.”

“…”

Luo Tian smiled and said, “Just now it was my personal business, but against the Mountain Sea Devil Sect, you guys naturally have to step up. The Mountain Sea Devil Sect has quite a few experts, and I heard them discussing that the sect indeed has a guy calling himself Demon Supreme.”

“His cultivation has probably reached the Honorable Emperor realm, so he’ll be difficult to deal with.”

An Honorable Emperor realm expert could instantly elevate the strength of a sect or a family to the king level!

An Honorable Emperor realm expert was an extremely terrifying existence!

However, not a single one of them was afraid at the mention of an Honorable Emperor ranker. Instead, excitement was written all over their faces.

“So what if he is?”

“Is an Honorable Emperor realm expert all that great?”

“Lord Luo Tian, our current strength is not weak at all.”

“Exactly.”

“Even Hei Yue was trampled by us, so what of this Demon Supreme?”

Each comment was more arrogant than the last.

Luo Tian looked at them and smiled knowingly because arrogance was precisely what he hoped to see.

“Boss, stop talking. That old fellow is about to run out of the range of my spiritual senses,” Liu Zhan suddenly said.

Luo Tian’s eyes widened before saying, “Catch up to him!”

Deng Leigong was running for his life!

He even exerted the milk strength when he was nursing back when he was a baby!

Looking at the blaze engulfing the Deng manor in Towering Cloud City, he knew the Deng family was finished. Towering Cloud City was finished, and everything he had was gone. Half a lifetime of effort was reduced to nothing, and all of this was because of one person, Luo Tian!

He hated him!

Extreme hatred!

He nearly ground his teeth to dust as he glanced back in the direction of Towering Cloud City. As if his words were steeped in blood, he muttered, “Luo Tian, I will make you pay a thousand, ten thousand times over. I will make you wish you were dead. No matter how strong you are, you can’t possibly be a match for the Sect Master of the Mountain Sea Devil Sect. Nor can you be a match for the Demon Supreme. You will die, and your Boundless City will be wiped from this world. Just you wait!”

After saying that, he turned around and sprinted madly in the direction of the Mountain Sea Devil Sect.

——————

The sky was just beginning to grow light.

After a whole night of sprinting, he finally arrived at the Mountain Sea Devil Sect as day broke.

It was located in a secluded valley.

If someone hadn’t led the way, it would have been impossible for a regular person to find this place.

“Help!”

“Help!”

“Lord Sect Master, save me!” Before even reaching the mountain gate, Deng Leigong started shouting for help.

He then made his appearance look disheveled and thoroughly wretched, crying out at the top of his lungs, “Experts from the Misty Cloud Academy have attacked! Save me!”

“Save me!”

The expressions of several devil sect disciples guarding the valley gates became startled.

They all knew Deng Leigong, having frequently taken bribes from him in the past. Seeing him run up in a state of panic and shouting that experts from the Misty Cloud Academy had attacked, their brows furrowed. The leader shouted, “Mr. Deng, is what you’re saying true?”

“Could he have been scared out of his wits by someone?”

“I don’t think so. Look at how terrified he is; it doesn’t look like he’s faking it.”

Several disciples muttered among themselves.

Deng Leigong ran up to them, panting heavily, and said, “I need to see the Sect Master! I have an important matter to report! Quickly, quickly, take me to see Lord Sect Master! If we’re any slower, it’ll be too late!”

He had to see the Sect Master, and he had to persuade him.

As long as the Sect Master of the Mountain Sea Devil Sect was willing to step in, a hundred Luo Tians wouldn’t be a match for him.

Deng Leigong was willing to sacrifice anything as long as Luo Tian could be killed.

But before those disciples could even speak, a dark cloud drifted over from the sky.

A voice seemed to have smashed down upon them.

“No need to report anything. I already know what happened.”

Before those words faded, the dark cloud dispersed. Several figures descended from the sky, landing directly beside Deng Leigong.

One of them was the Mountain Sea Devil Sect elder who had suddenly vanished the previous night.

The one in the center was the current Sect Master of the Mountain Sea Devil Sect, Huang Wanjian!

Deng Leigong had only seen him once before, but he immediately knelt down and said, “Lord Sect Master, you must grant me justice! Towering Cloud City has been breached by experts from the Misty Cloud Academy, and the Demon Supreme’s plan…”

Before he could finish, Huang Wanjian flicked his right hand.

“Pak~!”

An invisible force slapped Deng Leigong, flipping him over on the spot before his body slammed into the ground. Huang Wanjian let out a cold harrumph before saying, “When you defected to the Mountain Sea Devil Sect back then, you were just afraid of the Misty Cloud Academy’s retaliation, weren’t you? Humph~, useless piece of trash!”

“You couldn’t even handle a mere trash at the Myriad Illusion realm, and you dare mention to me about Lord Demon’s plan?” Huang Wanjian said angrily.

Then, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked into the distance and sneered, “A bunch of fools who don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. You guys dare to run wild on the territory of my Mountain Sea Devil Sect? I’ll make sure none of you make it back alive!”
