"What a boring competition. This kind of competition is meaningless, even though the strong are respected in this world."
Ye Hongtian murmured as he entered the City Lord's Mansion through a small door. He had seen the portrait of the City Lord when he came to the Dark City. He found that the Dark City Lord was not on the martial arts field at the moment. The people on the martial arts field seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the Dark City Lord.
Ye Hongtian was not very satisfied with the competition among the City Lords on the martial arts field, so he wanted to try to make the current Dark City Lord form an alliance with him.
In front of the City Lord's room, Ye Hongtian released his soul force to probe the interior. He scanned the entire room briefly and found that there was no sign of living beings.
Then he felt a human-shaped thing on the ground. He couldn't help but frown. After a little more careful observation, the image in the room appeared in his mind.
At this moment, the Dark City Lord Ye Hongtian was looking for was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. There was a shocking wound on his neck, but there was no blood flowing out. The ground was covered in blood. It seemed like the Dark City Lord had been dead for a long time.
"Hehe, anything can happen to me. The competition for the position of the City Lord has yet to begin. The City Lord died. Although the blood on the ground was dry, the remaining aura in the house was left not long ago. It's not easy to make the blood of a semi-sage expert dry up so quickly. " Ye Hong Tian stood outside the door and calmly analyzed.
He tore open a spatial crack and entered the room. He wanted to capture the remaining aura in the room. However, that aura was very strange. It immediately assimilated after coming into contact with Ye Hong Tian's aura. It seemed that it was some kind of special method.
If someone entered the room now, they would only see the scene of Ye Hongtian killing the City Lord of Dark City. Even if Ye Hong Tian wanted to explain, the remaining Qi in the room had already assimilated with Ye Hong Tian's Qi. This aura would make him speechless.
"Good move! Good technique! I didn't expect that someone would be able to execute an assassination so perfectly! Is it someone from Blood Fiend?"
Ye Hongtian didn't care if he was wronged. Instead, he started to care about those assimilated auras. Those auras were exactly the same as his own. Even Ye Hongtian himself couldn't tell.
He waved his hand and wrapped all the auras in the room with all kinds of laws, forming a pigeon egg-sized sphere. Then, Ye Hongtian tore open the space crack and left the room.
Returning to the training field, Ye Hongtian played with the ball in his hand. He really wanted to know how the aura inside the ball was formed. He couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he wanted to find the person who killed the Dark City Lord.
The death of the Dark City Lord was the most beneficial to the competitors of the City Lord. In the following period of time, Ye Hong Tian would observe the competitors in the martial arts field.
A man of the intermediate stage of the semi-sage realm rushed to this place when Ye Hong Tian thought that he only needed to keep an eye on these competitors.
Ye Hong Tian was greatly startled by the appearance of this man. Then, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had focused all his attention on this man who had just arrived. It was because this man was the City Lord of Dark City who had confirmed his death!
"I'm really sorry. There are some urgent matters that have delayed me. I won't say those opening remarks anymore. Now, please follow the competition rules and look for members in the Dark City. Gather here when the sun sets. Let's do the statistics. " The Dark City Lord said with a smile.
The martial artists in the training field did not blame the Dark City Lord for being late. They all left the training field. The Dark City Lord was the last to leave, while Ye Hong Tian followed the Dark City Lord closely.
"Senior Chu, can you sense that the Dark City Lord is different from the dead Dark City Lord?" Ye Hongtian asked Chu Shikun, who was in the dark.
Chu Shikun immediately replied, "Their auras are very similar, but there are some slight differences. This person's disguise technique is very powerful. If I wasn't in the Sage State, I might not be able to tell."
"Is the disguising technique very powerful? Hehe, it's only interesting if it's strong. This disguise technique is almost the same as the Breath Concealing Divine Art. " Ye Hong Tian laughed evilly.
Then, Ye Hong Tian used the 'Restraining Breath Technique' to disguise himself as a beggar in ragged clothes. He simulated the strength of his cultivation to the initial stage of the semi-sage realm. This was the highest realm he could simulate at the moment.
Ye Hong Tian had already followed the City Lord of the Dark City to a remote street in the Dark City. There weren't many people here. However, the experts who had set up stalls on the roadside were very powerful. A middle-aged woman who was selling jewelry on the roadside was at the seventh level of the Awakening Realm. Moreover, the jewelry that they sold were not ordinary items. They were all made of some natural treasures that could help people cultivate.
The City Lord of the Dark City seemed to have come here to find his own team members. Ye Hong Tian found an opportunity and used Instant Transportation. In an instant, he arrived in an alley 30 feet away from the City Lord of the Dark City.
The Qi of the initial stage of semi-sage realm that had been simulated on his body wasn't concealed at all. It was soon noticed by the approaching Dark City Lord.
However, the Dark City Lord merely glanced at him for a moment. Then, he left. Ye Hong Tian hadn't expected this.
"Don't tell me that the experts of the initial stage of the semi-sage realm aren't interested in him?" Ye Hong Tian said in surprise.
Ye Hong Tian stood up from the alley. He followed the City Lord of the Dark City. He didn't conceal his whereabouts. He went forward to stop the City Lord of the Dark City.
"You are the City Lord of the Dark City, right? I am sure you will need me." Ye Hong Tian imitated a very old voice and said.
The Dark City Lord's own path was blocked. He slightly frowned and looked at Ye Hongtian who had changed his appearance. He asked, "What is your purpose?"
"I am being chased by the Lan Family. I need a safe place to live."1
Ye Hong Tian casually made up a lie. His face was not red, and his heart was not beating. In addition to his beggar attire and the wounds on his body that had changed his appearance, it was not obvious that he was lying.
"Could it be that you are the person who blew up the Lan family?" The Dark City Lord was silent for a moment before asking.
Ye Hongtian didn't answer. He seemed to have acquiesced, but at the same time, he seemed to know something. No matter how he looked at it, the fact that the Lan Clan had been blown up had something to do with him.
"Since you're being hunted down by the Lan Family, why are you hiding in the Dark City? Don't you know that the person behind the Dark City is actually the Lan family? And if you're really being chased by the Lan family, I wouldn't dare to help you. After all, the Lan family is a large family."
After staring at Ye Hong Tian for a while, the Dark City Lord said that he would go around Ye Hong Tian and leave.
This time, Ye Hong Tian did not pester him anymore. The other party did not intend to recruit him to help him compete for the position of city lord. Perhaps he had already chosen his teammates, continuing to pester him would only make it seem more suspicious. After the Dark City Lord had walked far away, he removed his disguise. Hiding his figure, he followed.
