Chapter 439 – A Dungeon More Dangerous Than A Forbidden Ground (1/2)

Luo Tian didn’t make a move.

Because he wasn’t a crazy murderer.

While being escorted to the dungeon, he noticed that parts of Dark North City were in ruins. It was very similar to when Devil Monarch Skysoul almost destroyed Heavenly Sword City.

Thinking how he got captured right upon arrival, his heart was at a loss.

“Big brother guard, I previously heard you guys mention the Ghost Merman Sect. What kind of sect are they? With the strength that you guys have, even an immortal sect cannot easily take you guys down, right?” Luo Tian couldn’t help asking. His current mission was to refill his profound energy, search for large amounts of spiritual herbs, and then finally level up.

Therefore…

He needed a precise location to level up.

He was not familiar with the area around Dark North City.

The guard escorting found Luo Tian to be a rather honest individual and didn’t exhibit any resistance. The guard’s voice was a bit depressed as he said: “When the Titan race disappeared, the Ghost Merman Sect used this opportunity to rise up. Their fleshly body’s power has already reached an unimaginable level.”

“They suddenly attacked Dark North City and we were caught off guard.”

“And now they wanted us to hand over Princess Dark North within half a month. Those people of the Ghost Merman Sect are really damnable!”

“Yang Laosan, why are you talking about this with him? He’s just a fraud, and might even be a spy for the Ghost Merman Sect. We should blame those damn immortal sects for building a teleportation station in Dark North City just because they wanted to save some time. If it wasn’t for that, how would our city be so easily defeated?”

“That’s right; it’s all because of that damn teleportation station. If I had the strength, I would definitely destroy it.”

———

Teleportation arrays were set up everywhere by the immortal sects.

In the beginning, it was promoted as a form of protection for everyone and could stop sneak attacks by the devil sects.

As time went by…

The devil sects hid themselves and haven’t appeared in ages. These teleportation stations slowly became something that would be occasionally used to perform missions by immortal sects. And these teleportation stations only allowed immortal sect members to teleport here and back while the residents of Dark North City were unable to use it.

Luo Tian was quite knowledgeable when it came to teleportation arrays. Hearing the guard’s words, the Ghost Merman Sect must have teleported a group of martial artists, then attacked from both inside and outside. Dark North City was caught unprepared and thus defeated.

He then realized something and asked: “Since the teleportation arrays are setup by immortal sects, how did the Ghost Merman Sect teleport into the city? Could it be that the sect has its own teleportation array?”

“Huh?”

“Wait… that’s right! How come we didn’t think of that? The Ghost Merman Sect only rose up recently and shouldn’t have a teleportation array. Even if they do have one, it’s impossible to teleport over unless both teleportation arrays are connected together.”

“Yang Laosan, escort this kid to the dungeon and I will report this to our commander.”

“Go ahead then.”

They didn’t dare to take any chances.

Any new discoveries could change the course of a battle.

There wasn’t much time left for them.

Three days out of the half a month of time had already passed by. Within these ten plus days, they had to understand how the Ghost Merman Sect was able to teleport over.

Luo Tian shouted to the guard hurrying away: “Remember to tell your commander that it was me that raised this question!”

“So what if you raised this question?”

“A kid like you dares to commit fraud and call yourself a Mount Hua Immortal Sect disciple? How can it be possible for you to be an immortal sect disciple?” Yang Laosan said with disdain.

Luo Tian was too lazy to explain the whole situation.

After all…

Mount Hua Immortal Sect didn’t have any special prestige anyways so he was too lazy to use that identity.

While thinking of the teleportation array situation, Luo Tian said to himself: “Two teleportation arrays must be connected with each other for it to work, so something fishy must be going on. If it’s not an immortal sect supporting Ghost Merman Sect secretly, then the Ghost Merman Sect must’ve discovered a hidden teleportation array.”

“The Ghost Merman Sect is demanding Dark North City to hand over Princess Dark North. Did they attack Dark North City just for a woman?”

“It shouldn’t be, right?”

Not long after.

The guards escorted Luo Tian to the dungeon’s main entrance.
