White Dragon City Lord's Residence.

A pillar of spiritual energy shot into the sky, instantly drawing countless gazes.

The terrifying pressure of the Transforming Heaven Realm swept through the city.

An enraged roar shook heaven and earth.

"Who was it? Who dared kill my son?!"

Everyone was stunned.

How could they not know what kind of person Bai Dong, the White Dragon City Lord's son, was?

Within White Dragon City's territory, he had lorded over everyone and committed every sort of outrage.

Too many people had offended him and died miserable deaths.

Even if they could not stand the young city lord Bai Dong's atrocities, they could only pretend not to see them.

Not only did he have a gray-robed elderly attendant at the Transforming Heaven Realm by his side, but the White Dragon City Lord was also his father!

Within White Dragon Hill, even the other two major sect factions beneath White Dragon City dared not lay a hand on Bai Dong.

Everyone knew that Bai Dong was Bai Xuan, the White Dragon City Lord's, reverse scale.

Yet.

On such a bright, beautiful day, something so wonderful had actually happened.

That beast who preyed on men and women alike was finally dead!

Though they did not know who had killed him, anyone capable of killing Bai Dong surely possessed Transforming Heaven Realm strength.

Perhaps White Dragon City was about to see a change in its skies?

Quite a few people looked expectantly toward the White Dragon City Lord's Residence, where a figure of extraordinary bearing stood.

Bai Xuan spread out his spiritual perception, trying to find his son's killer.

Yet to his surprise, at the place where Bai Dong had died, there were only two beautiful women.

Don't tell me my son died on a woman's belly.

"Who are you? How dare you kill my son?!"

Bai Xuan had no time to think further. His icy gaze fell upon Luo Li and An Ran.

His figure flickered, and he had already arrived above the inn that had been reduced to ruins.

A little girl at the initial Fusion Heavenly Realm could not possibly have killed the gray-robed elder at the Transforming Heaven Realm beside Bai Dong.

That left only this black-dressed girl with distinctive silver hair.

He could not see through her cultivation, which could only mean that she was quite powerful.

When had Bai Dong provoked someone like this?

Bai Xuan cursed his disappointing son inwardly, but his face remained grim as he said in a deep voice,

"Believe it or not, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Killing the two women too easily would hardly soothe the hatred in his heart.

He had only this one son!

"Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy."

An Ran spoke first, saying coldly, "If you dare lay a hand on us, White Dragon City need not exist anymore."

She knew that White Dragon City had only been established for a little over ten years.

It was absolutely impossible for it to contend with the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Unless they were connected to the Dragon Demon Palace.

"Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy... damn the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!"

Bai Xuan was furious. He had not expected them to be from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Had he known that people from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were here, he would certainly have stopped Bai Dong.

Not stopped Bai Dong from making a move, but made him prepare thoroughly and deal with them outside the city.

White Dragon Hill was no peaceful place anyway. The deaths of one or two Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy students would not be anything unusual.

More importantly, he could not sacrifice the greater good for a minor matter and draw the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's special attention to White Dragon City.

After all, he was a man of the Dragon Demon Palace.

He had been specifically sent here over a decade ago to establish White Dragon City.

Under this guise, he had secretly searched for the various Spirit Treasuries that appeared throughout White Dragon Hill, hoping to find the White Dragon Supreme Legacy left behind by the White Dragon Supreme, who had once defected from the Dragon Demon Palace.

When the White Dragon Supreme defected, he had taken the Dragon Demon Palace's most important treasure with him.

The Spirit Treasury had to be found.

Only after that treasure returned could the Dragon Demon Palace destroy the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, once again become the overlord of the Northern Heavens Continent, and achieve the true unification it had failed to accomplish in the past!

Before he had even found the White Dragon Supreme's Spirit Treasury, he had offended the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

That meant his decade-long concealment would all go to waste!

His hopes of rendering great merit, returning to the Dragon Demon Palace, and rising through the ranks would vanish into thin air!

"Damn it! You must have murdered my son!"

Bai Xuan's gaze was icy. Even if this would provoke the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he still harbored a trace of hope that he could use this to muddy the waters.

If that happened, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would not dare act recklessly.

White Dragon City would remain standing.

And he could continue searching for the White Dragon Supreme's Spirit Treasury!

"I'll kill you and avenge my son!"

Vast spiritual energy burst forth, forming a giant palm of spiritual energy that viciously slammed toward Luo Li and An Ran.

No matter what, he absolutely could not let these two women go!

Bai Xuan's killing intent surged as he immediately followed up with another strike.

His right hand extended and curled into a claw.

"Demon Dragon Heaven-Rending Claw!"

The fierce, razor-sharp claw attack was several times more powerful than the giant palm of spiritual energy from before.

The sight made the scalps of many people in the city go numb.

Too ruthless.

Provoking the White Dragon City Lord was truly suicidal.

But soon, a scene that left the onlookers' jaws dropping unfolded.

The silver-haired girl raised her hand and slashed out with her sword, effortlessly cleaving apart the giant palm of spiritual energy.

Facing Bai Xuan's true killing move as it came straight at her, she remained utterly unmoved.

"From today onward, White Dragon City shall be renamed Luo God City. I, Luo Li, will be its city lord."

Luo Li had no objection to becoming the ruler of White Dragon Hill's strongest faction. She would simply treat it as an early experience.

Once she returned home, she would face immense pressure.

That was true of both internal conflicts and external threats.

"Anyone who refuses to submit dies!"

The moment her words fell, Bai Xuan, the White Dragon City Lord, was sliced in half on the spot!

A mighty expert at the middle Transforming Heaven Realm had died like an ant. It was simply too shocking.

The people of White Dragon City, who had been eager to make a move, all calmed down.

"Congratulations, City Lord Luo!"

Everyone knew that Bai Xuan had been the strongest person in all of White Dragon City.

Now that he was dead, no one could do anything to Luo Li.

"Don't let the Dragon Demon Guards escape. Uproot them all."

Zhao Chen deliberately offered a reminder, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

He had been used to saying that in the past, but now it felt a little unfamiliar.

"Alright."

Luo Li's figure flickered, vanishing from where she stood.

Miserable howls of pain rose one after another, while blood seemed to stain the sky red.

When she reappeared beside An Ran, the Luo God Sword in her hand was still dripping with blood.

"Th-then we..."

An Ran was so stunned that she could barely speak.

After killing so many people, Luo Li's expression had not changed in the slightest.

Her mental fortitude was simply too strong!

As expected of the girl who had even made her heart flutter!

"You're the deputy city lord."

Luo Li's simple arrangement made An Ran excited.

Back at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, she had once considered founding her own faction like the other experts on the Heavenly Ranking.

But after thinking it over, she had given up, feeling that she was not suited for it.

At the very least, even if she founded a faction, she would not have enough fame to attract geniuses to join.

Even with people, it would be difficult to keep it going. Her own Spiritual Value was not even enough to spend.

But following Luo Li and becoming deputy city lord in White Dragon City—no, Luo God City—was simply wonderful.

It would fulfill her wish while also bringing tangible benefits.

The former White Dragon City had at least been White Dragon Hill's number one faction.

White Dragon Hill frequently produced valuable treasures, and the City Lord's Residence would claim them first.

As deputy city lord, even getting a little of the leftovers would be enough to fill her stomach.

"The Dragon Demon Guards have been cleared out, and Bai Xuan is dead."

Luo Li remained highly vigilant.

She knew very well that they had merely destroyed the Dragon Demon Palace branch stationed at White Dragon Hill.

The truly threatening force was still the Dragon Demon Palace.

The Dragon Demon Palace possessed genuine Supreme Realm experts, and more than one at that.

If they attracted the Demon Dragon Son, it would be somewhat difficult for Luo Li to kill him and retreat safely afterward.

Only by activating the Nine-Colored Spiritual Value Token and having Dean Ta Cang intervene would they have a foolproof plan.

Zhao Chen's spiritual perception covered an even broader area than Luo Li's.

He clearly caught sight of the target's trail.

"The Demon Dragon Son is already here!"
