Chapter 921 - 919: Profound Dao Six Stars
"Ah? Another breakthrough!" Wu Mengting exclaimed, not as a question, but in surprise, and more so with excitement. For Chen Tianlong to break through is a great thing.
It seems I’m not entirely useless. I helped Chen Tianlong level up several ranks quickly. I need to work harder.
If Chen Tianlong knew this, he would faint straight away. He wouldn’t dare to use Wu Mengting to level up unless supervised in the daytime, and only for two or three hours to avoid extreme weakness again. Otherwise, it would be over.
Luckily, he was saved this time. Next time, it may not be so lucky.
"Yes, but I can’t use you for cultivation anymore," Chen Tianlong didn’t tell the truth.
"Why? This way, you can quickly level up and surpass them." Wu Mengting remained innocent.
"Hehe, let’s wait until you’re back to your peak state, okay? I would feel bad if you collapse." Chen Tianlong’s tender gaze melted Wu Mengting instantly, and she nodded without hesitation.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong’s body began to heat up, soon reaching its peak. He smiled wryly, "Mengting, you need to turn around again. I need to take off my clothes."
"Ah? Okay." Wu Mengting understood what Chen Tianlong meant, hurriedly hid under the blanket, and peeked outside with her eyes. This time, she wasn’t embarrassed but instead watched every inch of Chen Tianlong’s muscles clearly.
Chen Tianlong is her future husband, she’ll have to see him eventually; it’s better to get used to it now.
Chen Tianlong was in a tense breakthrough, while Wu Mengting’s heart was racing under the blanket, though not burning with desire, she was quite excited.
Boom!
A light sound, Chen Tianlong had obviously broken through again.
Profound Dao, six stars!
Coming to Ice City this time was the right choice. In just a week, he’d broken through five levels. Although not as heaven-defying as those inheritors, he knew their power was superficial and needed to be gradually solidified. He, Chen Tianlong, was leveling steadily, much stronger than them.
"Alright, you’ve seen enough, I’m putting my clothes back on." Chen Tianlong had long noticed Wu Mengting peeking out from the blanket. This little minx was too sneaky.
He used to sneak a few glances, barely able to stop his nosebleed. She, on the other hand, watched intently for over ten minutes.
"Ah? What are you saying? I don’t understand!" Wu Mengting pretended to be confused, but her blushing face betrayed her.
"Right, you don’t understand, it’s just that someone’s face is red like an apple." Having said that, Chen Tianlong jumped onto the bed, lifting the blanket as the two entangled once more.
That day passed with the inseparable couple, but after arriving here, they mostly toured East City, leaving two places they hadn’t visited yet—North City and Ice Hall.
Chen Tianlong wanted to take them to see those places, but he was worried about the trouble from those guys in North City.
Around after seven in the evening, Lin Kaifeng called Chen Tianlong, saying he wanted to reciprocate and invited them out for a feast. Chen Tianlong agreed readily; after all, these gals had been here with him so long without a proper treat.
Around eight o’clock, Lin Kaifeng and Lin Jun, with Chen Tianlong’s group of five, gathered around a big table and started a luxurious dinner. For East City, Lin Kaifeng was like an emperor—a meal cost was no concern.
The four beauties were delighted looking at the table full of food.
"Eat as much as you like, it doesn’t matter how much you eat." Lin Kaifeng said generously.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, thankful that Lin Kaifeng wasn’t high and mighty, allowing them to eat and drink so freely without complaints.
Unbeknownst to Chen Tianlong, his value far exceeded that. A master with originally only one star in Profound Dao, yet able to exhaust Fang Dali—is quite remarkable.
Lin Kaifeng was honored to have him join.
After the meal, everyone was happy, but suddenly, an out-of-breath subordinate rushed in and said, "Boss, something’s wrong, someone is causing trouble at East City’s border..."
"What? Which party?" Lin Kaifeng frowned, his face full of worry. East City differed from North City and Ice Hall; vast and rich, it lay between Ice City and Fire Domain.
Fire Domain and Ice City were always incompatible, yet neither bothered the other; however, recently, Fire Domain showed signs of aggression against East City’s border.
Petty disputes repeatedly annoyed Lin Kaifeng.
It was a stressful time—internal and external troubles. The three-city stalemate within Ice City, plus the looming threat of invasion, troubled him.
"It seems to be the Qilin Tribe from Fire Domain. Taking advantage of their Qilin mounts, they’ve been rampaging. It’s really shameless." The subordinate said angrily.
"Damn it, it’s those Qilin Tribe folks again." Lin Kaifeng cursed.
At this point, Chen Tianlong sensed something amiss and quickly asked, "Brother Lin, does the Qilin Tribe often oppose you?"
"Absolutely, those guys come trouble us every time. Their tribe has over eighty thousand people, and a formidable force of thirty thousand elite soldiers. They aren’t equipped with weapons, but they’re all advanced cultivators, over five stars in Profound Dao, while we have a hundred thousand men but only at Yellow Dao level. How could we compete?"
Lin Kaifeng felt like crying, though fortunately, the Qilin Tribe people weren’t bold enough to conquer East City outright. If they did, the other two cities in Ice City wouldn’t stand aside, gathering forces to strike back. Despite their strength, even thirty thousand soldiers couldn’t withstand twenty to thirty thousand men; the outcome was clear.
"They’re that strong, huh." Chen Tianlong felt troubled, though he’d fight one or two, someone with thirty thousand troops at Profound Dao five-star was quite formidable.
"Capture the leader first, do you know who their leader is?" Chen Tianlong asked directly.
"Apparently, he’s called Thunder Wolf, a younger brother of Black Alliance’s Second-in-Command Thunder Tiger, with a strength of Tunnel-level one star, similar to us, or he’d have invaded already." Lin Kaifeng explained.
"Black Alliance again!"
Hearing this, a wave of fierceness rose in Chen Tianlong, not so much against the Red-eyed Eagle, but feeling this organization was disgraceful, harboring forces in Huaxia, stirring up trouble everywhere.
"Oh? Brother Chen Tianlong, you know of Black Alliance?" Lin Kaifeng was surprised. Black Alliance was an international secret organization, and even Chen Tianlong knew of it—remarkable indeed.
