Chapter 1073: Changes of Hellfire City
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and a vast presence immediately began to radiate from him. It shook the surroundings with raw force, causing the entire mountain to shake slightly.
“Venerable Poisonsword, don’t worry. I am a person who keeps his word. I will do it since I’ve agreed to you. Once I take revenge for the devastation of the Bi family, my body will belong to you. I will not resist.” Determination flowed through the man’s eyes. He was not afraid of death.
“Kakakaka, alright, alright, good. I trust you, but I do hope you move a little faster, so that I don’t have to wait too long.” The horrible, husky voice rang in Bi Dao’s head again. It sounded impatient.
Bi Dao said nothing. With a wave of his hand, the sword in the ground immediately erupted with extremely great energy, which collided with the mountain. With a boom, the entire cavern collapsed. The rock was actually reduced to pieces by the supreme power that erupted from the ordinary-looking sword.
“My dwelling, my dwelling! Bi Dao you brat, do you know that I constructed this dwelling all those years ago with so much work? Y- y- y- you’ve actually destroyed by dwelling! You drive me mad!” The venerable Poisonsword hiding within Bi Dao’s head immediately bellowed out in anger with the destruction of the cavern.
“Venerable Poisonsword, you will be able to see the light of day again soon. Do you still care that much about a mere dwelling?” Bi Dao said coldly and emotionlessly. He had already grasped the sword tightly in his hand.
The sword was no ordinary weapon, but a King Armament left behind by a Saint King at Great Perfection. It was the Heaven-quaking Sword, the Saint Weapon of venerable Poisonsword who had once shaken up the continent twenty thousand years ago.
Venerable Poisonsword immediately shut up because of what Bi Dao had said.
Bi Dao remained silent as well. With the Heaven-quaking Sword in hand, he shot off like a cannonball, climbing up into the sky in an instant. He shot off into the distance after determining his directions and immediately disappeared into the dense mist.
Hellfire City was a king city in the Karl Empire. Regardless of size, area, or prosperity, it was only second to the seven capital cities of the continent.
Hellfire City possessed several tens of thousands of years of history in the Karl Empire. Its walls were entirely made from essence metal. They were extremely tough and could resist the attacks of Class 5 Magical Beasts with ease. Throughout history, the walls had fended off over a hundred magical beast hoards, allowing the city to come out unscathed each time.
Several millions of people lived within the city. Coupled with the everyday flow of people, the number of people that Hellfire City could accomodate was close to a hundred million. Many experts rose from Hellfire City since there was such a large population, along with countless clans of different sizes.
The Bloodcloud clan was the most powerful clan in the city. It was originally the second greatest there, but ever since the Bi family had been wiped out in a single night fifty years ago, they had completely replaced them. They were now unquestionably the greatest clan in the city.
This was because the Bloodcloud clan possessed a new Saint Ruler. He was not an ancestor of the clan, but a talented junior. With his supreme talent, he reached Saint Ruler in just a few hundred years, and he even became the disciple of an Imperial Protector of the empire. He was deeply valued and was raised as a pillar of support for the future of the empire, causing the clan’s status in the city to soar, becoming admired by everyone.
A vast presence suddenly appeared outside the city. A figure made its way past the great walls of the city in the form of a blur. Without any decrease in speed, it flew to the center of the city with a threatening presence, alerting countless people along the way.
The figure brazenly flew through a small portion of the city and descended before a large manor in the very center of the city. It was where the Bloodcloud clan resided.
The figure wore black robes and radiated with a presence so vast that it would make people suffocate. His long hair danced in the windless air as his robes fluttered as well. He stared at the manor in a daze as reminiscence filled his eyes. Deep sorrow was also present.
The four burly guards at the entrance of the clan stared at the man in shock. Without saying anything, they ran into the clan to report what had happened. They dared not stay for even a moment longer.
