When the tall, big man saw Lou Mu Yan cast the ‘you’re a fool’ look, his tightly clenched fists made a [crack] sound.
Seeing the several people strutting away, the yellow-clothed woman behind the tall, big man asked with cold eyes: “Boss, we’ll just let them go like this?”
She hated women who were more beautiful than herself and what she loved to do most was to scratch open their faces and watch them suffer.
The purple-clothed woman violated her baseline just now. She just wanted to peel that face off to make a human skin mask.
“There’s a clear rule in the city that no fighting’s allowed. Otherwise we’ll be disqualified from the competition. Why else do you think they dared oppose me? I’ll see how they’ll be arrogant after leaving the city.” The tall, big man snorted coldly.
He thought inwardly that Lou Mu Yan and the others dared to offend his prestige because they knew the rules of this city. A sinister smile rose on his lips. Tomorrow, he would definitely make them kneel and beg for mercy.
“Boss, you have to leave that woman to me.” The yellow-clothed woman stroked her lips with her fingertips and said softly.
The tall, big man knew her addiction and there was a smile on his grim face: “No problem. I’ll give her to you after the three of us play around with them first.”
“No problem.”
Lou Mu Yan still didn’t know that those people had already schemed against her, not only wanting to kill them, but also bully and humiliate her. The yellow-clothed woman even wanted to peel off her face and make a mask.
Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn’t have much reaction. She didn’t pay attention to these people at all to begin with.
After going up to the third floor, Lou Mu Yan and Yun Zi Mo were in a separate room each, Fu Chen and Lou Mu Bai were in one room, and Chi Yi Xuan and Yun Lan were in another.
After the few people cleaned up and left the inn, they went to a restaurant for dinner and to inquire about any news.
Not only were inns popular, but restaurants were the same. The private rooms had long been booked, but they didn’t arrive too late either as they found a quiet table by the window and sat down.
“The group of people who wanted to snatch the keys from us in the afternoon will definitely not forget this easily. When we leave the city tomorrow, we need to prepare for battle.” Lou Mu Yan took a sip of the Spiritual Tea that the waiter just brought up.
The Spiritual Tea was expensive, but it tasted average. It seemed that this year would be filled with snatching from people.
“They bullied people too far and we won’t just yield our keys either, so we were bound to have a fight.” Chi Yi Xuan looked at Lou Mu Yan with gentle eyes, softening his stern face a bit.
Lou Mu Yan was accustomed to Chi Yi Xuan’s cold face and cold eyes. The change now really made her feel a little indescribable, but it definitely wasn’t joy.
“When the time comes, let’s just kill them.” Fu Chen said with a smile on his face as he held a teacup.
Lou Mu Yan raised her head and looked at Fu Chen, who appeared delicate with a scholarly aura and usually felt like an invisible man, in surprise.
This person rarely spoke ever since the Trial in the Glacial Mountain Range, and he basically didn’t say a word when they entered the competition space, so who knew he’d surprise them with his words now.
One really couldn’t look at a person’s appearance when judging. People like Fu Chen confused people too easily. In fact, his heart was also a ruthless one, it was just dependent on who it was towards.
“Fu Chen, who knew that a taciturn person like you would also have a moment where you’d be so domineering.” Lou Mu Bai and Fu Chen’s relationship wasn’t that bad, so he joked with relaxed brows.
“If one does not offend me, then I will not offend one. They took the initiative to provoke, so how was there reason to allow them to bully?” Fu Chen replied in a refined, bookish manner.
Lou Mu Yan chuckled: “That’s right, and the scent of blood on those people are very strong. There were definitely many people whose lives were severed by their hands. If they dared to take the initiative to ambush us, then killing them could be considered as a good deed.”
Although the strength of the other party seemed to be relatively high, but the six of them really weren’t afraid at all. After all, they all had their own means.
Yun Zi Mo was regarded as the leader of the several people, and he didn’t object to this point. In fact, the killing intent in his heart was no weaker than them.
They chatted a little more, then sat quietly and listened to the conversations of the people at the tables beside them.
“Have you looked at the rankings on the jade tablet?” A person at a table beside them asked his companion.
“I haven’t looked at it, what’s wrong?”
“Two abnormal monsters have already earned more than a thousand points, and it’s only been half a day.”
“What? That amazing.” The people beside took out the jade tablets for a look.
“So it turned out to be Mo Ling and Yan Jun. It’s said that they are the two people who have the best chance to compete for the first place in this competition.”
“Indeed. The two who come from superpower kingdoms not only have a very deep background, but they’re also very powerful in their own right. The two of them are already Advanced-Phase Sword Monarchs right now. During the finals, they’d probably have broken through to Sword Sovereign by using the resources here.” There was envy and a hint of respect in this person’s voice.
Lou Mu Yan swept the jade tablets of the few people and found that they were all blue, indicating that they were pupils from medium-sized kingdoms.
These people had been revolving their conversation around Mo Ling and Yan Jun, so Lou Mu Yan noted down the two that they kept mentioning, then focused on another table.
“I wonder if there’ll be a Beast Tide coming tonight?” A woman with an ordinary face asked worriedly.
One of the companions replied: “There shouldn’t be such a coincidence right? I heard that the Beast Tide usually comes every few days or even more than ten days.”
“Who knows? There’s nothing to worry about. As long as we don’t take the initiative to leave the refuge city, even if a Beast Tide attacks, we wouldn’t need to be afraid of being engulfed.” Another said with a smile.
“I haven’t seen a Beast Tide yet!”
“I heard that the Beast Tide in this competition space is very ferocious. Generally, it’s commanded by Tier 6 or Transformation Stage Demonic Beasts. If you go to the central areas, there will even be Tier 8 Demonic Beasts appearing.”
“That’s only natural. Dozens of Tier 3 and 4 Demonic Beasts aren’t scary, but if thousands, tens of thousands of them attack, even if we’re Sword King cultivation bases, we wouldn’t be able to resist their huge numbers. Not to mention Tier 3 and 4 Demonic Beasts are only just the front line, there are many Tier 5 or 6 Demonic Beasts in ambush behind.”
“Really? No wonder the Elders in the Imperial Family always insisted that at night, no matter what, we must go to the refuge city to hide. So that means if we go out at night and encounter a Beast Tide, we’ll surely die.”
“It’s true. Otherwise why would there be refuge cities built in the competition space, each separated approximately a day’s travel away.”
Listening to the tone of fear these people had towards the Beast Tide, Lou Mu Yan stroked the teacup in deep thought.
After their meal, the several people strolled around the commercial street and Lou Mu Yan once again swept up the Spiritual Herbs sold in the city, causing many people to cast curious glances at her.
“Lou Mu Yan, are you buying so many Spiritual Herbs to refine pills with?” Yun Zi Mo found that she was simply too crazy—she basically bought all the Spiritual Herbs in the pill shops.
Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: “Otherwise I’m buying it to toss around to play with?”
Yun Zi Mo looked at her speechlessly and said: “You’ve used up your money so quickly, you’re not going to participate in the auctions?”
“Let’s talk about it when it’s time for auctions. Money will always come again once they’re used.” Lou Mu Yan smiled vividly, her jet-black eyes sparkling.
Just earlier in the restaurant, she heard about the Beast Tide. She just so happened to have a few pill formulas that were made from Demonic Beast Crystal Cores. These Spiritual Herbs weren’t considered too expensive either. The most important thing was that it wasn’t available outside, so eventually she could make a lot of money by selling these pills she refined.
Hearing her confidence, with lively brilliance all over her body, Yun Zi Mo smiled lightly and said no more.
After returning to the inn, Lou Mu Yan quickly entered the state of cultivation. The Spiritual Force here was several times denser than that outside. Her cultivation base was indeed a little low, so she had to hurry up and improve.
In the middle of the night, suddenly, a few roars of Demonic Beasts broke the original calm of the city.
Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes that were filled with fighting intent: “The Beast Tide has come!”
