The people in the tavern observed Li Fan. Regardless of his combat strength, to easily kill a fellow Condensed Core Realm cultivator from dicine Cleansing Lake—such courage! Could he be an outsider, a powerful dragon?
Even if he was an outsider, daring to kill a disciple from dicine Cleansing Lake outside Liuyue City required courage.
They glanced at the two dead n again. Cultivators of dicine Cleansing Lake often practiced sorcery and consorted with demons, emanating a savage aura. Their arrogance today led to their own demise, so they deserved it.
After killing the dicine Cleansing Lake cultivators, Li Fan continued to sit there, casually drinking and eating. His calm deanor surprised the crowd. Did he not take the top forces of Liuyue City seriously?
At this mont, an old man brought another dish to Li Fan, and a voice entered Li Fan’s ear: "dicine Cleansing Lake in Liuyue City, the top power in the city, adept at demon control; many elders in the sect are Great Cultivators of the Sixth Realm, and there is an ancestor at the Seventh Realm."
"Divine Sense Transmission." Li Fan quietly tasted his wine, showing no surprise, but responded, "Who might you be, senior?"
Was this old man worried that I was unaware of dicine Cleansing Lake’s background?
"You should have soone by your side to protect you. Not only is Wen Ruyu wanted by the court, but you are also a key focus for them. Although there are more sects in Liuyue City, the court has deployed so power here too," the old man continued to transmit.
Li Fan paused at this, then smiled quietly, "Li Fan understands."
Knowing my identity and being aware of my junior brother, there’s no need to say more about my background.
Generations of Li Mountain have produced many heroes. Though it is now considered to have declined, even without Great Sword Cultivators who can challenge the Saint Realm, there are still nurous cultivators below the Seventh Realm scattered across the world.
This old man is probably one of them.
"Are you a Qi Cultivator, young hero?" soone nearby asked, looking towards Li Fan. "Where do you co from?"
"From the wilderness," Li Fan replied, looking up.
Hearing Li Fan’s reply, everyone thought he probably didn’t want to reveal his origins.
Li Fan was a Qi Cultivator, while Huang Xiong beside him appeared to practice martial arts, and the young cultivator behind him carried a sword.
If they co from the sa sect, top powers like the Da Li Dynasty are not many.
Could he be a student from a famous academy in the world?
"The cultivators of dicine Cleansing Lake are not to be trifled with. If..." that person paused: "If you leave now, it might not be too late."
"I didn’t provoke them. Could it be that dicine Cleansing Lake wants to bully the weak?" Li Fan laughed and said, "Since the court is in Liuyue City, there should be reason within the city, right?"
Saying this, he stood up indifferently, "Let’s go, we’re going into the city."
Hmm??
Everyone was stunned, looking at Li Fan in disbelief. Did they guess wrong? Was he not from a force that could contend with dicine Cleansing Lake but instead a newly entered genius cultivator to the martial world?
In the world of cultivators, reason?
If he has no strong backing, marching into Liuyue City so openly is tantamount to suicide, is it not?
This cultivator might be in the Condensed Core Realm, but he looks very young, just over twenty. Could he really be a reckless novice!
"Let’s go, let’s see."
Many people stood up to join, and the group headed towards the city gates of Liuyue City.
In the tavern, the old man shook his head at the wasted food on the table, then looked up at the departing crowd; in the martial world, there have never been a shortage of spectators.
As for dicine Cleansing Lake, perhaps it deserves its fate.
Liuyue City.
Upon entering the towering city gates, the broad avenue paved with bluestone was extrely spacious, demons visible everywhere. However, the demons in the city were enslaved by human cultivators, called demon servants.
After entering the city, Li Fan and his companions flew in the air. In the sky above Liuyue City, cultivators flew everywhere. As the gateway to Yongzhou, this city where sects stand side by side is no less powerful than Yongzhou City.
So even say that Liuyue City is not only the gateway to Yongzhou but also the central gateway to the Da Li Dynasty.
Stepping in here ans entering the inner circle of the Da Li Dynasty.
"Sister Liu, it seems there’s no need to worry about being brazen here. The cultivators here are just like this, look..." Li Fan said with a smile, looking at Liu Ji.
Liu Ji turned to look at him with a glance, then suddenly transford into a Jiao Dragon.
"Thank you for your efforts," Li Fan said, standing on the back of the Jiao Dragon.
"Where to?" Liu Ji asked.
"Anywhere, we’ll wait for them to co," Li Fan replied. He wasn’t sure who would co for revenge first; it largely depended on the status of those two cultivators in dicine Cleansing Lake.
Li Fan gazed into the distance, recalling what the cultivator said: dicine Cleansing Lake possessed a thod to evolve demons, and it was ho to many demons, including nurous powerful Six Realm Demons. Truly, it was a treasure trove.
The cultivator who had co with Li Fan outside the city followed closely behind, curious about Li Fan’s journey atop the Jiao Dragon. Was he relying on sothing, or was he genuinely naive about the world?
"What do you think of this young man?" soone discussed.
"He seems like a fledgling, oblivious to the vast heavens, yet there’s also a hint that he’s pretending to be weak," soone beside him quietly replied, unable to discern Li Fan’s true intentions.
Liu Ji, transford into a Jiao Dragon, wandered aimlessly through Liuyue City.
After a long while, from various directions in the distance, a grand procession of figures began to approach them.
"They’re here."
Li Fan, who had been resting with his eyes closed atop the Jiao Dragon’s back, opened them. Beneath the silver mask, his gaze turned towards the approaching direction, where he saw many cultivators also riding demons, blocking their path in no ti.
The Jiao Dragon ca to a halt. Li Fan scrutinized the opposition, noting an elder at the forefront, riding atop a giant python. The python’s eyes hungrily fixated on Liu Ji.
The elder, advanced in years, donned a coat made from snake skin, exuding a sinister aura. He squinted like a poisonous snake towards Li Fan, his subtle presence hinting at Ning Dan Peak.
Beside him were over ten cultivators, all arriving on various demons, their cultivation also within the Ning Dan Realm.
Though no Sixth Realm Dao Body cultivators were present, the ease with which so many Ning Dan Realm cultivators were mobilized attested to dicine Cleansing Lake’s strength, and showed the Da Li Dynasty’s inner regions’ foundation.
"I am Fan Xian, a steward of dicine Cleansing Lake. May I know the young hero’s na, where you hail from, and why you killed our lake’s cultivators?" the elder asked Li Fan, voice seemingly friendly.
"I co from the wilderness, having heard of the myriad great sects in Liuyue City, I ca for trials. However, outside the city, two people inexplicably attacked with killing intent, claiming to be from dicine Cleansing Lake, so I had to retaliate. Since you, elder, are a steward of dicine Cleansing Lake, I trust you will handle this matter justly," Li Fan replied.
"I see," Fan Xian said with a smile, squinting his eyes and nodding. "Rest assured, dicine Cleansing Lake is not unreasonable. Since there’s a conflict, I invite the young hero to accompany us to the lake, where the elder will make a judgnt."
Cultivators appeared around and below, to dicine Cleansing Lake?
People in Liuyue City knew well what dicine Cleansing Lake was. If one went, they might be fed to the demons there.
Li Fan hesitated briefly, then said, "What you said makes sense, elder. In that case, I’ll accompany you all for a visit."
Fan Xian was montarily taken aback by Li Fan’s easy agreent, but then his smile broadened. These young people seed promising, their cultivation not low, likely genius cultivators.
Yet, why did they seem so naive?
Was it really as he thought, rely so outsiders who hadn’t heard of dicine Cleansing Lake and, in a rash mont, killed its cultivators?
The cultivators who followed Li Fan also looked perplexed; this developnt was unexpected for them.
"In that case, please follow ," Fan Xian turned to lead the way, Liu Ji followed, and dicine Cleansing Lake’s cultivators surrounded them, firmly sealing Li Fan and his group’s retreat, seemingly worried they might change their minds.
However, the journey was smooth, without any anomalies from Li Fan and his group, as they followed all the way to dicine Cleansing Lake.
dicine Cleansing Lake was located to the west of Liuyue City, backed by the West Mountain, covering an expansive area.
This kind of large sect power spanned over a hundred miles, with a lake within the sect where water flowed from the West Mountain into Liuyue City — that was dicine Cleansing Lake, dotted with nurous buildings on either side of the lake, and demon energy wafted overhead.
Upon entering dicine Cleansing Lake, the lake’s water churned below, sending demon energy rising. Several pairs of eyes could be seen within, staring at Liu Ji.
"We’ve arrived," Fan Xian said with a smile, halting and turning to face Li Fan and his group. Behind them, a miasma rose, blocking out the sky and isolating dicine Cleansing Lake from the outside world.
"Elder, where are the elders of dicine Cleansing Lake?" Li Fan asked.
"Elders of dicine Cleansing Lake?" The old man smiled at Li Fan. "Even I can’t easily et them. Do you, soone about to be demon fodder, wish to see the elders?"
As he spoke, the sound of rushing water was heard, spraying up as demons leaped into the air from dicine Cleansing Lake, shrouding the sky in demon energy, encircling Li Fan and his group.
Fan Xian’s smile turned sinister. Before, he was concerned that outside the lake he might not capture Li Fan and the others, but now, here, he was at ease.
"These humans are all talented cultivators, and their delicate skin will be a fine feast for you beasts," Fan Xian said, looking at the surrounding demons.
