The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 4: Luo Xing City

Luo Xing City, the, 

A young man in a black shirt carried a bag on his back and walked to the cheapest inn. In Luo Xing City, there was no such thing as a hotel. 

Luo Xing City was one of the places that had various race creatures mixed within. Luo Xing City was also one of the gathering places of cultivators of the various races. 

The place that had a stronger existence in Luo Xing City was Luo Xing Academy which was one of the best Academies that produced leading cultivators of various races. 

Among the six races, the human race had a minority number in Luo Xing City.

The young man in an ordinary black shirt, booked a room in the cheapest inn that was very quiet at a price that could be considered very cheap for the residents of Luo Xing City. The innkeeper did not look enthusiastic about the young man's arrival and felt disappointed in his heart. 

The young man in a black shirt climbed the stairs in silence and entered the room he ordered. 

After the young man in black shirt closed the door of the room, the innkeeper muttered, "Only a mixed blood." 

Inside the room, the young man in black shirt placed his bag on a very simple wooden chair. After which, the young man looked at his face in the mirror. His hands rubbed the skin on the edge of the face and then pinched his skin. With a single pull, the skin on his face slipped off and a handsome face was exposed. 

Unexpectedly, the face of the young man was exactly the same as the face of the person sought by government officials in the territory of the human race. Even the arrest orders on the internet offered a very high price for the one who discovered the existence of the young man named Yu Feng who had the same face as the young man who was staring at his real face in the mirror. 

And this young man was none other than Yu Feng.

Yu Feng rubbed his face and smiled coldly. In Luo Xing City, the government did not have the slightest bit of power. Even if anyone recognized him, they would not act against him because no one was interested in such a common mixed blood like him. The most important reason was that Luo Xing City had rules that forbade actions that made a random commotion. 

In a short time, Luo Xing Academy was going to recruit students, and Yu Feng was planning to enter Luo Xing Academy. With his current strength, he had already met one of the conditions. 

Yu Feng sat cross-legged on the bed and started cultivating. 

He just needs to wait.

......................

A skinny young man with an appearance that was no less attractive than BaiLi Yun Hua, was sitting under a tree in bloodstained clothes. Several corpses of ferocious beasts were scattered around him. The blood on his body came from the ferocious beast he killed. 

After getting enough rest, the young man left the place to look for a source of water in the middle of the forest. 

After walking for quite a while, the young man finally found a waterfall pool. Taking off his clothes, the young man walked towards the waterfall and let his body be moistened in water and cleaned up the remaining blood left on his skin.

The coldness of the waterfall could make one feel shivering and unable to bear, but the young man had no signs of coldness, instead he looked very comfortable under the waterfall.

After a while of standing under the waterfall, the young man walked to the edge of the pool and soaked. Perhaps due to being too tired or because the pool water was too comfortable, the young man involuntarily fell asleep.

When he fell asleep, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. A few sweat coats formed on his forehead along with his slightly quivering lips, looking like he was having a nightmare.

'Wei Lan's'

'Wei Lan's'

'Wei Lan don't hate them.'

Suddenly the young man opened his eyes and his breathing was irregular. His gaze was blank, as if the body had lost its soul.

The roar of a savage beast sounded from the distance, making the young man return from his dazed condition.

Wei Lan frowned with a turbulent feeling. The roar of the ferocious beast grew louder and the ground around Wei Lan trembled slightly.

A three-headed lion appeared behind Wei Lan at just seven meters away. The size of the lion is five times larger than the size of a normal lion. The three-headed lion stared at Wei Lan's back with a voracious look.

Wei Lan paid no heed to the lion getting closer to her, as if she was unaware of the danger behind her. When the lion was within three meters, Wei Lan touched the bottom of the pond with her index finger. The ground beneath the three-headed lion was shaking and dozens of vines were growing from the ground then wrapped around the lion's body tightly.

The three-headed lion did not anticipate this and its limbs were immediately restrained by the vines. The lion was Wei Lan's back with a cruel expression and roared loudly. As the lion roared, the lion's body grew so much that the vines were unable to wrap around it and were eventually destroyed by the lion.

One of the lion heads shot out a burst of purple flames at Wei Lan. Before the bursts of purple flames reached Wei Lan, the ground behind Wei Lan grew bamboo plants in a quarter of a second which acted as a shield protecting Wei Lan's back. The purple flames burned the bamboo streak into ashes.

Wei Lan jumped into the sky and avoided the rest of the purple flames. While in the air, green rays surrounded Wei Lan and formed green-colored clothes with carved leaves on the edge of her robe. The lion head that was in the middle, opened its mouth and blew a windstorm into the sky with Wei Lan as its target.

Stretching out his two hands, a dark green light gathered on both palms of Wei Lan. A dark aura enveloped him as Wei Lan's green pupils became as red as blood. The dark aura protected Wei Lan from the windstorm. As the wind storm subsided, Wei Lan's figure had disappeared from the sight of the lion. A gust of wind came from above the lion and a wisp of dark green light shattered the backbone of the lion.

The lion roared in pain and shook his body as hard as possible to throw Wei Lan off his back. The dark aura shrouded Wei Lan again and her figure disappeared again then appeared right before the lion with silver daggers in both hands. The three-headed lion stared at Wei Lan with reddened eyes full of killing intent. The pain in his back made him not dare to underestimate the prey in front of him.

After the contest of staring at each other between the two, the three-headed lion roared and pounced on Wei Lan first. One of the lion heads spouted out a ball of lightning and the other head spewed out bursts of purple flames simultaneously. Kicking his legs, bamboo plants grew around Wei Lan and formed a circle with Wei Lan as the center. The ball of lightning shattered the bamboo shield and left a jagged hole on it. Compared to the bursts of purple flames and wind storms, the destructive power of the ball of lightning was many times much stronger.

Wei Lan stared at his bamboo shield filled with giant holes and a dark aura reappeared to conceal his existence. Seeing his prey disappear, the three-headed lion felt extremely annoyed and angry. Whenever the other party suffered a loss, the other party would hide. The lion felt very eager to immediately tear off its troublesome prey and only knew of hiding. After going through several rounds of clashes, the three-headed lion felt tired. Compared to Wei Lan who had not expended much energy, the stamina of the three-headed lion had drained a lot.

Although Wei Lan did not suffer any greater losses than the three-headed lion, she still had some injuries inflicted by the demonic beast and the originally clean robe came back stained with blood. Wei Lan's gaze grew colder and her every move became even more cruel. He wanted to end this fight as early as possible. The three-headed lion grew increasingly overwhelmed until he was finally crippled by Wei Lan. Standing before the bloody lion on the ground, Wei Lan raised her dagger and intended to end the life of the three-headed lion. But before he landed his attack, his pupils suddenly shrank and he retracted his attack and intended to retreat. Before Wei Lan had a chance to get away, the body of the three-headed lion exploded and smashed everything within a range of several tens of meters.

After the effects of the explosion started to subside, Wei Lan spewed out a mouthful of blood. His right arm was covered with blood while the bamboo shield protecting him turned to ashes. When the three-headed lion blew himself up, Wei Lan used all her strength to build a layered bamboo shield. But his bamboo shield was reduced to ashes by the blast and his entire right arm was also affected by the blast. The three-headed lion was a level four ferocious beast so the strength contained by the explosion could not be underestimated.

If Wei Lan was late in forming the bamboo shield in layers, then there was no doubt she would enter the abyss of death and leave behind an incomplete corpse. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Wei Lan immediately stopped the bleeding in her right arm and swallowed some medicinal pills from her storage device. With the help of the medicinal pill, his spiritual strength was restored by half. Without delaying any longer, Wei Lan instantly activated her healing abilities and treated her already shapeless right arm.

After his right arm was restored to its original condition, Wei Lan again took out several bottles of medicine and swallowed several different medicines in one go. After which, he exercised his spiritual energy and healed the deep wounds from the explosion earlier.

Wei Lan had a very bad expression at the moment. He did not expect when victory was in sight, but in the end the losses that befell him. Who knew that the three-headed lion would blow itself up to drag Wei Lan to the grave with him. Not only did Wei Lan not get anything from the body of the three-headed lion, but she also suffered heavy injuries! Goddamnit! It really makes people angry to death!

Holding back her feelings of regret, Wei Lan concentrated on recovering her condition.

Hm...?

The aura around Wei Lan suddenly underwent a change.

Closing his eyes, Wei Lan began to concentrate completely and ignored his regretful feelings. The aura around Wei Lan increased with time. After spending about half an hour, the aura around Wei Lan completely broke through to a whole new level. He slowly opened his eyes.

4 Level.

Previously, Wei Lan's cultivation level was at level 3. But due to the excessive use of spiritual energy reaching its limit, Wei Lan's cultivation level progressed.

At least he's harvesting a little profit. Wei Lan's annoyed feeling was swept in half by this incident.

"It's back."

Wei Lan intended to return to the inn but she remembered her dirty clothes then looked towards the waterfall pond that had been leveled to the ground completely.

"..."

Wei Lan was again irritated.

The lion is overrated!

That way, Wei Lan ended up going around looking for a new spring to clean herself up.

......................

Each clan sent their candidates for the recruitment of disciples by Luo Xing Academy. Some had arrived in Luo Xing City and some were still on their way. Aside from the representatives from the clan, ordinary citizens also flooded into Luo Xing City to try their luck. Luo Xing Academy did not restrict anyone from studying in it despite being included in the list of the best academies. As long as the person meets the specified conditions, then the person is acceptable.

A group of people walked on the streets of Luo Xing City.

A woman in the group stared at the atmosphere in Luo Xing City and said, "Very crowded..."

A young man in the group laughed and replied, "Of course it's crowded. Every time Luo Xing Academy opened a recruitment this would happen."

"Chun Lan, Huo Feng, go find a place for us to settle down." Chun Lan was the woman who said that Luo Xing City was very crowded and Huo Feng was the young man who responded to Chun Lan's words.

"Xia Qing, Sui Ye, go find out the information related to Luo Xing Academy."

"Qiu Yun, Dong Ling, go find out the group information of each clan that has arrived."

"Feng Xi, Tu Xuan, Mu Qin, find out the news that spread recently, both big and small. Don't attract the attention of others."

That way, everyone is divided according to their group and split up. On crowded streets, the group's actions were inconspicuous. Only a young man who had previously given the order was still standing in his place.

The group was a group of Qing Yue Guards led by Lian Yi.

Lian Yi walked around a few places in Luo Xing City and arrived on a deserted street.

"Who?"

Lian Yi's voice was neither fast nor slow, but her voice had no emotions at all. From the very beginning, Lian Yi's group had realized that they were being watched. That was why Lian Yi assigned everyone and no one refuted. Even if the people watching over them heard Lian Yi's orders, the Qing Yue Guards did not care at all.

To the Qing Yue Guards, the group of people observing them were nothing more than dead people. A group of people dressed in black showed themselves and surrounded Lian Yi from all directions.

"Our master wants to see you."

One of the people dressed in black spoke up and declared their purpose.

"Rejected."

"Then apologize, you must die," said the group leader of the black-clothed people in a tone full of killing intent. After the leader's words fell, the group of people dressed in black instantly launched their murderous attack. Lian Yi was still expressionless, but a black dagger appeared in her hand and her figure disappeared instantly. The black-clothed person in the lead commanded in a solemn tone, "Retreat!"

But before some black-clothed people reacted, their necks had been cut off. The seven people dressed in black who were at the closest distance to Lian Yi had been lying on the ground into corpses. Seeing this, the rest of the black-clothed people did not hesitate to bring out all of their abilities. Dark energy coated their bodies, and the speed of each black-clothed person increased.

"Vampire cultivator?"

Lian Yi's figure appeared in front of several vampire cultivators and her dagger continued to obliterate the lives of her enemies. Looking at Lian Yi who was killing unhindered, the expression of the group leader of the black-clothed people became increasingly dark.

"Make formation!"

The remaining vampire race cultivators instantly formed a circle and imprisoned Lian Yi inside. Their hands formed a mysterious seal and the momentum of every vampire race cultivator grew stronger. Lian Yi stared at the actions of her enemy and her grip on the dagger grew stronger.

"Deformation Destruction? Still not enough..."

As soon as Lian Yi finished muttering, a powerful aura emanated from her body and disrupted the concentration of her enemy.

Level 5 cultivator?

The group of vampire race cultivators had horrified expressions on them, including their leader. The dagger in Lian Yi's hand turned into ice and shattered the formation core. Thousands of ice crystals formed in the air and attacked the cultivators of the vampire race.

Aside from the leader of the group of vampire race cultivators who were tier 3 cultivators, the rest were tier 2 cultivators. They were clearly unable to withstand Lian Yi's attack and turned into ice and shattered into melted ice fragments. Only the leader of the dying vampire race cultivators remained. Lian Yi did not intend to kill the leader of the vampire race cultivators before she got the information she wanted.

"Who sent you?"

Lian Yi's voice was still emotionless even when she had just finished killing. Lian Yi's attitude showed that actions like this had been done often.

The leader of the vampire race cultivators did not reply and intended to blow themselves up. But before he could do so, Lian Yi raised her palm and destroyed her cultivation base which made the vampire spit out a mouthful of blood. Once his cultivation base was destroyed, he was just an ordinary vampire.

"You..."

"Who sent you?"

"..."

"Well, I'll find out for myself..."

Lian Yi placed her index finger on the forehead of the leader of the vampire race cultivators and her spiritual energy entered through the soul of the leader of the vampire race cultivators. A collection of information flowed into Lian Yi's mind. After the final information, Lian Yi retracted her spiritual energy and took a step back.

"You..."

The voice of the leader of the vampire race cultivators trembled slightly. Betrayal is taboo and Lian Yi's actions make her an indirect traitor. The leader of the vampire race cultivators closed his eyes then took his sword and pierced into his own heart. Lian Yi did not stop the actions of the leader of the vampire race cultivators. He flicked his finger and burned the leader's corpse to dust.
