1136: Chapter 436: Tianhe City 1136: Chapter 436: Tianhe City Chapter 436
Half a month later, Mo Jiuli and the others finally emerged from the Wanshou Forest and arrived outside Tianhe City.
By then, the sky had already darkened, and they went directly into the city to stay at an inn named Henan…
Tianhe City is a relatively small city, located near the Wanshou Forest, hence it’s mostly populated by cultivators on training journeys.
There are no significant forces, and it’s considered a lawless area where all sorts of people are mixed together…
Therefore, the city naturally follows the rule where might is right.
Whoever has the biggest fists is the boss!
It is said that the city lord was replaced just last month.
The previous lord was a Level 7 Dark Supreme, who was defeated and succeeded by the current lord last month…
The current city lord is also a Level 7 Dark Supreme, but he is domineering and unreasonable, taking joy in using his strength to bully men and oppress women!
In less than a month, he has already caused much resentment among the people of the city…
While Mo Jiuli and his companions were dining in the hall, they overheard many people discussing and complaining about the city lord, Wang Baitian…
“Wang Baitian?
Just hearing the name tells you he’s no good, and sure enough, his actions are disliked by people!” Guyan said with a sneer.
Mo Jiuli smiled without saying anything.
Such people existed everywhere, and in a world where might is king, the law of the jungle is the rule for survival…
The weak have no capital to elicit sympathy; every weakling is someone who has been too covetous of comfort and ease!
The dark energy on Haotian Continent is several dozen times denser than on Lingtian Continent.
If one dedicates oneself to cultivation, even with poor talent, one would not be subject to harassment…
After they finished eating, they ordered some tea and snacks and sat in the hall, listening to people’s discussion to learn more about the affairs of Tianhe City…
Although they had been in the Wanshou Forest for nearly half a year, they trained when they had to train and rested in their Space when they needed rest; thus, they did not suffer…
Just then, a commotion arose at the inn’s entrance.
A man dressed in a green robe, with a sly look in his eyes, walked in with a big man…
“City Lord Wang, the little girl you’ve taken a fancy to is the innkeeper’s daughter of this Henan Inn named Li Huanhuan.
She’s just under 400 years old, and it’s said she’s still a virgin,” the man in the green robe said lewdly.
“Hahaha, I must say, Qiao Shan, you really get what I want.
I was thinking of posting a notice today to offer a reward for that little girl, and you’ve already found her for me.
Good job!
Rest assured, if today’s business goes well for me, you’ll definitely get your share of the bounty…” the big man laughed loudly.
“Ah…
who would have thought that the innkeeper’s daughter would catch the city lord’s eye too; truly pitiable!”
“Yeah, you don’t know, I’ve lived here a long time; the innkeeper’s daughter is beautiful and kind-hearted.
To avoid the city lord, she has always been afraid to step outside!
Who knows how the city lord came to fixate on her…”
“Such a pity!
Look at the change in the innkeeper’s complexion…”
The voices of the crowd’s discussion reached Mo Jiuli and the others’ ears.
Only then did Mo Jiuli and Guyan turn their eyes toward the entrance and indeed saw Wang Baitian approaching the counter, glancing at the innkeeper inside and asking, “Are you the innkeeper here?
Is Li Huanhuan your daughter?”
“Yes, that’s right!” the city lord said with a pale face.
“Good, the daughter you’ve raised suits my eyes.
I’ve decided to take Li Huanhuan as my Ninth Concubine.
What do you think?” Wang Baitian asked arrogantly.
