116: Bai Family of the Ancient Holy City
Hearing this, Tu Qiang was also stunned, stroking his smooth forehead, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
The Big Yellow Dog also spoke up, "That's right, Xiao Qiang, what do you say? Will you follow Dog Master to broaden your horizons, or return to your Green Wolf Mountain?"
Tu Qiang glanced at Lin Yan and the Big Yellow Dog, and with a thought, he quickly smiled and said, "Of course, I'll accompany Dog Master and Senior. How can there be no one to serve you? Even just fetching water for your feet would be good."
Tu Qiang was not foolish. After witnessing the methods of the man and the dog, he had long secretly decided to cling tightly to them. How could he give up halfway?
As for the brothers on Green Wolf Mountain, don't let their simple-minded appearance fool you; they're all quite cunning. Without him, there shouldn't be any safety issues.
"Good!"
The Big Yellow Dog said with an approving look, even patting the other's shoulder with his paw.
Just for that keen insight, Dog Master will lead you to success.
Afterward, the group walked into the spatial rift torn open by Lin Yan, and this secret realm completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
Ancient Saint City, a magnificent giant city capable of accommodating hundreds of millions of people, was an extremely rare city even in the Heavenly Domain, ranking among the top fifty.
Within it, there were four major forces, and the Bai family was one of them, though they were at the bottom. However, as a powerful force with a Venerable overseeing it, its foundation was not to be underestimated.
Lin Yan and the others appeared above the giant city, looking down at this vast and boundless city, which lay dormant like a giant beast on the ground.
"Whoa, what a bustling city. It's been a long time since I've been here."
The Big Yellow Dog was excited; he firmly believed that wherever there were many people, there would be fun.
Where there are people, there is a martial world. Moreover, their purpose for this trip was specifically for the Bai family.
Tu Qiang also looked like he had never seen the world before. Although his strength at the God-Emperor Realm Late Stage was not bad, it was insignificant in this giant city.
Seeing Ancient Saint City, which was dozens of times larger and more prosperous than Tianyuan City, he was even more shocked. There was no harm without comparison.
He realized that even if he gained nothing else by following the man and the dog, this experience alone was enough.
"Grand-master, below is Ancient Saint City. Legend has it that a Saint Realm Expert once emerged from here thousands of years ago!"
Bai Junhao introduced to Lin Yan with a somewhat complex expression.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yan nodded, his divine sense briefly sweeping over the city, giving him a general understanding of its structure, and he said to everyone.
Flying was forbidden in the giant city; otherwise, the countless cultivators within the city would have long been in chaos.
Upon arriving at the city gate, one could truly appreciate the grandeur of this giant city. The thick outer city wall was a full ten thousand feet high, and its dark color added to its deterrent effect.
The massive city gate was wide enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people entering and exiting simultaneously.
The group walked into the city, and after paying some source stones, they successfully entered.
There were towering buildings, pavilions, and palaces, with countless cultivators bustling about, making it extremely prosperous.
Randomly grabbing anyone, even a small vendor, would reveal at least a cultivation of the Spirit Pill or Divine Origin Realm, and Spirit Kings were commonplace.
The group had no intention of concealing themselves and walked directly towards the location of the Bai family.
The city was vast, and the four major forces each had their designated areas; the eastern side was the area managed by the Bai family.
At the easternmost point, a divine mountain stood on the ground, piercing the clouds, surrounded by some lower peaks, like stars circling the moon.
This was an extremely vast mountain range, specially raising many spirit deer and immortal cranes, resembling a fairyland.
The core of the Bai family resided within this continuous mountain range. The current family head had even ascended to the peak, building a palace shrouded in immortal light atop the highest divine mountain.
The Big Yellow Dog led the way, walking alongside Tu Qiang with an arrogant stride, his face utterly brazen, as if afraid others wouldn't know they were here to cause trouble.
Outside the mountain range, a group of Bai family powerhouses were stationed, each of them strong and imposing, with astonishing presence.
When they noticed a group of people approaching, more than a dozen powerhouses immediately surrounded them, a hint of killing intent on their faces.
Who didn't know that this was one of the forbidden areas in the city? Yet, someone was so blind as to come here.
This wasn't their first time dealing with such matters. Those people were either killed on the spot or had their cultivation abolished, meeting a very tragic end.
"What are you doing?"
The leader, a God-Emperor Realm Mid Stage powerhouse, who seemed to be a squad leader, shouted at the Big Yellow Dog and Tu Qiang with a murderous expression.
The others around him were all at the God-Emperor Early Stage. This was just the most basic defense; who knew how many more powerful cultivators were in the mountain range.
Tu Qiang noticed that the opponent's cultivation was not high. A rusty battle saber appeared in his hand—the divine weapon Lin Yan had bestowed upon him.
"My great saber is already thirsty for blood!"
Tu Qiang showed a look of excitement, and with that, he suddenly charged forward.
"You're seeking death!"
The leading God-Emperor Mid Stage powerhouse said coldly upon seeing this.
He was about to take him down with his subordinates.
But then came a series of screams, and even he was not spared. One by one, they spat out fresh blood, looking at the opponent with horror.
Tu Qiang merely moved swiftly, slicing through the crowd. Streaks of saber light cut through the void, and in a few breaths, he completely defeated them all.
His face was full of pride. He couldn't beat the strong, but bullying the weak was his specialty. He looked down at everyone and proudly declared, "Have your Bai family manager come out!"
He didn't need to say it. In fact, as soon as he moved to instantly kill the group of powerhouses, someone had already rushed into the mountain range to report.
"Villain, don't be so arrogant! I'll cut you down!"
Sure enough, a domineering voice came, and a burly man, exuding a terrifying aura, flew from within the mountain range.
Hearing this, Tu Qiang looked towards the source of the voice and, upon realizing it was a God-Emperor Realm Late Stage powerhouse, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"A mere Late Stage? Take this saber of mine!"
He swung his saber again, catching the opponent off guard, who could only hastily defend.
"Ah!"
A sound rang out, and the burly man fell from the sky, creating a huge crater in the ground, with dust filling the air.
Meanwhile, Tu Qiang maintained a very flamboyant posture, his single knee slightly bent, striking a pose.
After standing up, he didn't forget to run a hand through his hair, seemingly forgetting that he no longer had any locks.
He also noticed this problem, chuckled awkwardly, and shouted into the deep pit, "With such meager strength, you dare to boast? Is there anyone else? Bring one, I'll cut one down; bring two, I'll cut a pair!"
His tone was extremely domineering, causing many weaker Bai family powerhouses to narrow their eyes. This person's cultivation realm was not low, a thought that arose in all their minds.
In their opinion, to be able to instantly kill a God-Emperor Realm Late Stage powerhouse, he should at least be at the peak level, right?
"You are very strong, but you should never have offended my Bai family!"
A disheveled figure emerged from the deep pit, clutching his chest from which blood continuously flowed. He spoke in a deep voice, his tone full of killing intent.
"I did offend you. So what? Are you going to bite me?"
Tu Qiang became somewhat carried away for a moment, cursing.
"Your Excellency is far too arrogant. Let this old man teach you a lesson!"
An aged voice rang out, accompanied by waves of terrifying pressure.
