Death Without Understanding; Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower Changes Hands

Bai Tianyu destroyed Lei Hall with a single slash, displaying absolute strength.

After today, he would be the Tower Lord of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, and information about his identity would gradually be unearthed.

He needed enough strength to cow everyone in Qingcheng City.

Then he could take charge of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower and help Su Chen unify Qingcheng City.

Of course, bringing a Refining Soul Realm expert like Bai Tianyu into Qingcheng City at this moment was like putting a shark into a river, sure to stir up wave after wave.

After the dust settled.

The hall of Lei Hall had been cleaved in two, leaving nothing but ruins and broken tiles.

Lei Mu and the others lay dead in front of the collapsed building, their hearts pierced by Bai Tianyu's Blade Qi.

Their faces were all frozen in shock.

But beneath their shock was a sense of confusion.

Why would such a mighty Refining Soul Realm expert attack nobodies like them, who were only at the Xiantian Realm?

"Take all the valuables from Lei Hall!"

Bai Tianyu's deep voice rang out.

The men Ling Tianhe had arranged earlier quickly charged into Lei Hall.

Those inside Lei Hall who still showed signs of life were finished off with a blade.

Soon, box after box of gold, silver, and jewels was carried out and piled up outside Lei Hall.

In just a short time.

Quite a crowd had gathered outside Lei Hall.

They stared at the collapsed hall, their eyes wide with shock.

Then they couldn't help looking toward Bai Tianyu, standing at the entrance with a long saber in hand, and felt fear rise in their hearts.

"That's a Refining Soul Realm expert. How could Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower have a master like that? Could he have been sent by Zitan Palace?"

The young man in a brown robe who had come with Ximen Muye of Gathering of Sages Hall spoke gravely.

"Come on. We'll talk once we're back!"

The young man didn't linger. He turned to Ximen Muye and spoke.

Ximen Muye didn't dare say much now.

Bai Tianyu had destroyed Lei Hall with one slash. He might turn on Gathering of Sages Hall next, so they had to hurry back and make arrangements.

The people from Canteen Hall took one look as well, then quickly left.

As for everyone else, they weren't publicly affiliated with any of Qingcheng City's five major forces, so they didn't need to concern themselves with this.

"Third Grandpa, that man just said he was from Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower!"

"How could Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower have an expert like him?"

Mu Qingxue watched Bai Tianyu's back as she spoke.

"That's something you'll have to find out. But he's very strong. His realm may be a little below mine, but if we fought, I might not be his match."

"I never expected a small place like Qingcheng City to have such an expert. It seems things have been getting unsettled here lately!"

The old man spoke softly as he watched Bai Tianyu.

Perhaps sensing the old man's probing gaze,

Bai Tianyu looked in their direction.

His gaze was sharp, carrying an air of invincibility.

He had sensed the aura coming from the old man. This was someone who could stand against him.

Bai Tianyu was known as Invincible Divine Blade, and he himself carried an invincible aura.

"What domineering Blade Qi. This man certainly won't remain unknown!"

Sensing the domineering force in Bai Tianyu's gaze, the old man thought to himself.

"Let's go. We'll leave for now!"

Avoiding Bai Tianyu's gaze, he led Mu Qingxue and the burly man away.

They needed to learn more about the situation in Qingcheng City. Earlier, they had thought there would be no need for him to show himself in a place like this.

Who would have thought that, upon arriving in Qingcheng City, he would encounter such a fierce Blade Qi?

And after showing himself, he had even come across a saber expert this domineering.

The people from Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower soon carried everything away.

Bai Tianyu also turned and left, heading toward the Lei Family.

Things at Lei Hall were settled, but there was still the Lei Family.

After they left, not long passed before, amid the ruins,

a figure crawled out, his face covered in blood and his expression terrifyingly savage.

Only one hand managed to claw its way out of the rubble.

It was Qin Hao, who had been so full of himself earlier.

Cough, cough!

A mouthful of blood spilled from his lips.

Looking at the ruins all around him, Qin Hao was utterly bewildered.

He had been recovering from his injuries in a secret chamber when, all of a sudden, a terrifying Blade Qi appeared.

Then the chamber he was in collapsed.

Fortunately, he had reacted quickly and hidden in a corner of the chamber, escaping death, though he was still injured. He had struggled out of the collapsed room.

What he didn't know was that

he had survived only because Bai Tianyu had chosen not to kill him.

Otherwise, the Blade Qi would have pierced him, or the members of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower who rushed in would have killed him.

They still needed him to help bring the Blood Demon Flower to maturity.

Since the people from Northern Commandery were hiding in the shadows, they were unlikely to show themselves.

So they still needed Qin Hao as a pawn.

Daring not to linger, Qin Hao quickly turned and left, not even bothering to tend to his injuries.

"Who was that?"

"Looks like Third Young Master Qin from the prefectural manor. They say the Lei Family had pledged itself to him."

Some people whispered among themselves.

"Let's go. Now that Bai Tianyu has revealed himself, Qingcheng City is in for a change of winds."

After saying this, some people quickly left, no longer paying attention to the ruins of Lei Hall.

That day, Lei Hall and the Lei Family both vanished.

All the wealth of Lei Hall and the Lei Family was sent to Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

In the end, some of it went to Su Chen, while the rest was kept at Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

Inside Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

Bai Tianyu and Ling Tianhe appeared in Su Chen's room.

"Where is Qin Hao now?"

Although they had let Qin Hao go, they still needed to keep track of his every move.

"He's temporarily staying at an inn. He seems to be waiting for someone."

Ling Tianhe replied.

"How are the other forces reacting?"

"Everyone except Vajra Temple has strengthened their defenses, including Gathering of Sages Hall and Canteen Hall."

"Also, Gathering of Sages Hall has made contact with the Yang Family of the prefectural manor."

"But the person who came was a collateral descendant of the Yang Family named Yang Jie. He's always been with Yang Muchen, a direct descendant of the Yang Family."

"Yang Muchen will probably come to Qingcheng City soon."

"The Yang Family. Things are certainly lively, but the Blood Demon Flower does have that kind of draw."

"Keep a close watch on the other forces entering Qingcheng City. Investigate every one of them!"

The people from Northern Commandery were hiding in the shadows. No matter how well they concealed themselves, they were bound to leave traces.

What was more, now that Bai Tianyu had appeared, the waters of Qingcheng City had been muddied. The people from Northern Commandery would surely be unable to sit still; someone was bound to show themselves.

This was their chance to find them.

Su Chen intended to beat the mastermind behind this plot to death.

"There's one more thing. Announce that I'm stepping down as Tower Lord of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower and that Bai Tianyu is taking over as the new Tower Lord."

Su Chen spoke to Ling Tianhe.

"Yes. I'll take care of it at once!"

Ling Tianhe bowed and left the room.

After Ling Tianhe had left, Bai Tianyu spoke. "My lord, while destroying Lei Hall today, I noticed a Refining Soul Realm expert. His realm was probably a little higher than mine, but in a fight to the death, I could kill him."

Bai Tianyu was very confident about this.

The other man was old. Though his inner force was strong, his blood and vitality were fading. He couldn't withstand Bai Tianyu's successive strikes.

"A Refining Soul Realm expert?"

Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly at this.

He hadn't expected a Refining Soul Realm expert to appear at this point.

"Let's wait and see."

Su Chen spoke.

Having given these instructions, Su Chen left Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower with the Fine Rain Blade, looking rather down on his luck.

This was also meant to show the outside world that he was no longer the Tower Lord of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

After Su Chen left, news that Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower had changed hands spread quickly.

Bai Tianyu became the Tower Lord of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.
