Chapter 72 - 72 City of Sin, Disgraceful

72 City of Sin, Disgraceful

“Li Zangtian pays his respects to the master.”

Thump!

As a cold and emotionless voice sounded, a man who was nearly ten feet tall and as strong as a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus knelt respectfully at Lin Wudao’s feet.

His face was cold and his eyes were fierce. His entire body was exuding a monstrous murderous aura.

[Name: Li Zangtian]

[Identity: Leader of the 12 mourners]

[Cultivation: Early-stage of the Heavenly realm]

[Remarks: 1. Invincible within a major realm.]

[2. Undying and indestructible physical body.]

[3. Loyal only to Lin Wudao and will not listen to anyone else’s orders.]

…

So these were the so-called mourners?

They were indeed powerful.

Lin Wudao couldn’t help but sigh in admiration as he glanced at Li Zangtian and the eleven mourners behind him.

The system’s products were definitely top quality.

The twelve mourners were born to kill. Their indestructible bodies, coupled with their terrifying combat strength, made them simply invincible.

They were the sharpest blades in Lin Wudao’s hands that could clear all obstacles for him.

“Get up,” His calm voice sounded.

Then, Lin Wudao thought for a while before he passed the Imperial Dao spiritual weapon, the Xuantian Ancient Sword, to Li Zangtian.

“You can use this sword first. When there’s a better one in the future, I’ll change it for you.”

“Thank you, master.” Li Zangtian bowed and received it.

Upon seeing this, Lin Wudao nodded in satisfaction.

These mourners were no different from the living beings of the world. They had feelings, wisdom, and their own understanding and judgment of everything in the world.

Those were the most basic and most important things for living beings.

“Time to go back. Now, as the threshold of corpse collection has been raised, I have to re-plan my future development route. The level of the Demon Subduing Division is still too low. Perhaps I should consider taking a bigger step?” Lin Wudao was deep in thought.

The Demon Subduing Division was restricting his development. It was time to make a change.

Thinking of this, Lin Wudao pondered for a long time before he beckoned to Li Zangtian and the others. Then, he steered a spiritual boat and left the Xuan State at lightning speed.

…

Half a day later, he returned to Yuan State.

However, Lin Wudao didn’t go to Yuan State’s Demon Subduing Division, but to the Eight Desolate County under the jurisdiction of the Demon Hunter Hall.

Before this, he had asked Han Qingshan and Zhao Mang to go to the Eight Desolate County in advance to understand the situation. He wondered what progress they had made now that so much time had passed.

The most vicious people in the Li Dynasty, the surrounding regions, and even the entire Jiuzhou were gathered in the Eight Desolate County. Although the place was under the Demon Subduing Division in name, they did not take the Demon Subduing Division seriously.

Over there, the Demon Subduing Division was just a decoration. Rather, anyone with some strength could easily control the Demon Subduing Division.

Given such a complicated situation, Lin Wudao decided to go and take a look himself.

Whoosh!

The spiritual boat tore through the void, carrying Lin Wudao and his 12 mourners to the City of Sin in the Eight Desolate County.

The City of Sin was the fiercest and most evil place in the entire Eight Desolate County. It was where the most terrifying people in the entire Dali Dynasty and the surrounding areas gathered.

Whoosh!

When Lin Wudao led Li Zangtian and the rest into the City of Sin, a strong demonic aura shot up into the sky like a storm.

With a single glance, one could see fights and killings everywhere on the streets of the City of Sin.

Blood and corpses were everywhere.

The people here were not to be trifled with. All of them had fierce looks on their faces. If things didn’t go their way, they would kill each other crazily without any scruples.

“It’s indeed a place where evil congregates,” Lin Wudao sighed inwardly.

Hmm?

Just as he was looking around, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His eyes were fixed on the city tower not far away.

Two familiar figures hanging high up on the tower. They had been stripped of their clothes, leaving only their underpants, and their bodies were covered in wounds.

It was a shocking sight. Crimson blood had already solidified on the surface of their bodies.

“Hmph!”

Lin Wudao’s face instantly turned extremely gloomy as he looked at the two men hanging on the city tower. A cold and fierce light burst out from his eyes.

The two people were Han Qingshan and Zhao Mang.

At this moment, they had been stripped of their clothes and hung on the city gate tower. It was obvious that this was done for him to see.

It was to humiliate him and the Demon Subduing Division.

“The audacity.”

Whoosh!

Lin Wudao put two fingers together, and his spiritual energy turned into a sharp sword, cutting off the iron chains binding the two.

Thump!

Thump!

Han Qingshan and Zhao Mang fell from the sky.

Although they had suffered inhumane torture and injuries, they were not dead and still retained a part of their vitality.

Seeing this, Lin Wudao fed them a restoration pill each.

Not long after, the injuries on their bodies recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Both their vitality and blood energy became vigorous.

“Gov… Governor.”

“Young master?”

Feeling the changes in their bodies, Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan instantly stood up.

However, when they saw Lin Wudao, they lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look him in the eye.

At the same time, Lin Wudao’s sudden actions attracted a large crowd.

All of them sized him up with surprise and curiosity. Their eyes were filled with ridicule and inexplicable gloating.

“Who is this person? Who gave him the courage to do that?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Well, according to the information I have, this person should be Lin Wudao, who has just been promoted to the position of Deputy Governor of the Demon Subduing Division in Yuan State. He is also the son of the previous Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall, Lin Daoshan.”

“Oh, it’s him. No wonder he saved Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan.”

“Hehe, Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Lin Wudao actually dared to send them to the City of Sin. He’s just overestimating themselves.”

“I heard that some big shot wanted to give Lin Wudao a taste of his own medicine, so he kidnapped Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan, Lin Wudao’s subordinates, to embarrass him.”

…

Discussions came from the surrounding crowd.

After hearing this, the two lowered their heads even more.

The emotions of humiliation and shame in their eyes were extremely strong.

At the same time, Lin Wudao’s face turned even darker.

“Who did this?”

“We… We don’t know,” Zhao Mang replied, his voice trembling.

Hmm? They didn’t know?

Hearing this answer, Lin Wudao’s eyes turned cold. Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan were so frightened that they immediately knelt.

“Young master, we’ve embarrassed you. However, we really don’t know who did it. The other party was too strong, so before we came to our senses, we were… were…”

At this point, Han Qingshan’s voice stopped abruptly.

He felt his cheeks burning, and he hoped he could bury his head in sand,

One word, embarrassing!

“Hehe, you’re really a piece of trash. You don’t even know who hung you on the city tower, yet you dare to come to the City of Sin?”

“You’re overestimating yourself. You’re simply seeking your own death.”

“This Governor Lin seems to be nothing more than this.”

“Since he’s such an embarrassment, he should just die.”

…

Many sneers and taunting voices sounded one after another.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao’s eyes instantly turned cold.

“Li Zangtian, kill everyone within a thousand-foot radius.”

“Yes!”

Boom!

Mourners were born for slaughter.

With Lin Wudao’s order, Li Zangtian waved his hand and the eleven mourners under his command immediately surrounded the area within a thousand feet.

Whoosh!

A 1,000-foot-long sword light streaked across the sky, killing everyone within its range.
