Arriving at Tianyun City, Lin Mo was furious at the unexpected changes!

Flying through the air, his speed was indeed incredibly fast.

Lin Mo only sped through the sky for about two hours before a city with a magnificent outline slowly appeared before his eyes.

Evidently, this was Tianyun City.

Considering that cities usually had anti-flight formations, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Mo consciously landed a distance from the city gate and then walked over.

Upon stepping through the city gate, the clamor of human voices and the bustling scene immediately assailed him.

To be honest, this was his first time visiting Tianyun City, and also his first time seeing firsthand what a city in this world truly looked like.

Thinking back then, before joining the Qingxuan Sect, he was just a Mortal living in a remote small village.

And the most prosperous place near that village was just an ordinary small town.

He had been to that town once or twice, but neither its scale nor its prosperity could compare to Tianyun City before him.

Later, after joining the Qingxuan Sect, although he shed his Mortal status, his talent was truly lacking; after three years of arduous Cultivation, he was only at the Body Tempering Realm. This level of Cultivation, when placed outside, was not much different from a Mortal.

So, naturally, he couldn't just go out and roam freely.

Therefore, after so many years, he had only heard the name of Tianyun City but had never set foot in the place.

Until today, by a stroke of Opportunity, he finally had this chance!

"Tsk, so this is a city in a Xuanhuan world?"

"Alright, quite grand!"

"And... good heavens, anyone you randomly pick on the street has Cultivation?"

Lin Mo walked on the wide streets, wide enough for horses to run, eagerly observing the passersby and the densely packed shops on both sides.

He noticed an interesting phenomenon.

That was, almost everyone here carried Cultivation fluctuations.

However, the vast majority were Body Tempering Realm Cultivators, with only occasional Qi Refining Realm ones, who were already considered experts.

As for Foundation Establishment Realm, they were even rarer; he only saw two or three after wandering for a long time.

And Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators?

Sorry, he didn't find a single one.

This situation precisely indicated that Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators in this area could already be considered formidable powerhouses!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt incredibly at ease.

It's stable!

At least in this city, it was basically impossible for him to encounter any danger.

He was now a great Cultivator of Spirit Sea Third Layer, so even walking sideways wouldn't be a big problem... The city was bustling, with a constant flow of traffic, and hawkers' cries rising and falling, giving it a taste of a prosperous ancient era of the Great Xia.

Lin Mo suddenly became interested and was no longer in a hurry to find any trade guild.

With his hands behind his back, he leisurely strolled around the most prosperous streets in the city several times.

Finally, he arrived in front of a resplendently decorated, five-story tall restaurant.

Tianyun Tower.

The name was simple and direct.

He stepped inside and, to the astonished expression of the waiter in the lobby, directly threw out ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones, requested a private room on the second floor by the window, and a table full of signature dishes.

Soon, he was seated in the elegant private room, pouring himself a pot of fine wine, slowly savoring the delicacies of this world while enjoying the bustling scenery downstairs.

Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators could long ago achieve Bigu (abstinence from grains), but he was simply interested and wanted to satisfy his appetite.

After all, what is living for, if not for enjoyment?

He had Cultivated for so long, what harm was there in enjoying himself a little?

Thus, Lin Mo leisurely and contentedly enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation... Meanwhile, in front of a steamed bun shop opposite the restaurant, a commotion suddenly erupted.

The commotion was significant and quickly attracted a large crowd of passersby to stop and watch.

Then, they saw this scene!

In front of the steamed bun shop, a dirty young girl was desperately shielding an even smaller girl in her arms.

The little girl was trembling with fear, while the young girl desperately comforted her sister, glaring at the man in front of her with hateful eyes.

The young girl's left leg was bent at an unnatural angle, clearly having been brutally broken.

And the culprit was the owner of the steamed bun shop, a man with a fleshy face, who was sneering at her.

Seeing that the young girl still dared to glare at him, the steamed bun shop owner immediately became displeased and kicked her already broken leg hard.

The young girl's body trembled violently, letting out a muffled groan, but she gritted her teeth and didn't cry out.

"Hmph, you stinking beggar, you have quite the tough bones!"

Seeing the young girl grit her teeth and not make a sound, the steamed bun shop owner spat and sneered, saying:

"I just wonder, if I break your other leg too, will you still be so stubborn?"

At these words, a trace of fear finally flashed in the young girl's eyes, but she still tightly protected her sister in her arms, not saying a word.

At this moment, someone in the surrounding crowd finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Chen Er, accumulate some virtue! What kind of skill is it to bully two young girls who fled here?"

The owner, named Chen Er, immediately glared at the crowd upon hearing this.

"Bah! These two little brats are light-fingered, daring to steal my steamed buns to eat. Am I wrong to teach them a lesson?"

Hearing these words that twisted black and white, the young girl with the broken leg endured the severe pain and immediately retorted loudly:

"We didn't steal anything!"

"It's clearly you who didn't keep your word!"

The young girl trembled and continued to shout:

"It was agreed before, my sister and I would work for you for a day in exchange for two steamed buns."

"But... but after we finished the work, not only did you give us nothing, you... you even tried to secretly sell my sister! You're not human!"

At these words, the entire place erupted in an uproar.

The expressions of the onlookers instantly changed as they looked at Chen Er.

In their daily lives, they all knew this guy was no good, not only was he arrogant, but he often engaged in forced buying and selling.

But they truly hadn't expected this guy's heart to be so dark.

For a time, shouts of condemnation rose and fell within the crowd.

"Chen Er, are you still human?"

"Is what you're doing a human thing?"

Seeing the crowd's righteous indignation, Chen Er not only showed no fear but instead looked at everyone with a gloomy expression.

"How I do things, what business is it of yours!"

"What are you guys, daring to lecture me?"

"Believe it or not, I'll call my cousin over right now and have all you meddlers thrown into jail?"

At these words, the clamor in the scene immediately ceased, becoming silent.

The reason Chen Er dared to be so arrogant was because he had a cousin who served in the Tianyun City Guard!

Seeing the previously indignant crowd instantly fall silent, the young girl with the broken leg seemed to understand something.

She no longer spoke, but simply gritted her teeth, dragging her broken leg, struggling to stand up and take her stunned sister away from this troublesome place.

However, Chen Er clearly had no intention of letting them go just like that.

He directly kicked the young girl, who had just managed to prop herself up halfway, back to the ground, a sinister smile on his face.

"Stole my steamed buns and still want to run? There's no such easy thing!"

"You stinking beggar, why don't you take a piss and look at your own virtue, are you worthy of eating my steamed buns?"

Facing Chen Er's insults, the young girl said nothing more.

Because she knew very well that whatever she said now would be useless.

She and her sister were just two helpless beggars, their lives as cheap as grass, and no one here would truly care about their survival.

But she still wanted her sister to live.

So, she gave up struggling and began to plead.

"Please, let my sister go. She's still small and not good at working, keeping her is useless to you. I can stay, I'll do anything!"

"Sister, no, don't! He's a bad person, let's go together, okay!"

Upon hearing this, the sister, who had been dazed with fear in the young girl's arms, finally reacted.

She cried, clutching her sister's clothes tightly.

The people around watched this scene, feeling uncomfortable, but still no one dared to step forward.

Because that Chen Er could truly use fabricated charges to send them to jail!

"Beg me? Haha, what a joke, a stinking beggar dares to beg me?"

Chen Er seemed to have heard the biggest joke.

"Don't worry, after I break your leg, I'll sell your sister to the Spring Breeze Brothel. By then, you'll be kneeling outside begging for food, and your sister will be lying inside making money, hahahaha!"

At these words, the surrounding people secretly cursed Chen Er as worse than a beast.

And Chen Er, in the midst of a deathly silence, walked towards the two sisters on the ground with a sinister smile.

At this moment, in the eyes of the two sisters, this man was like a demon crawled out of Hell, bringing them endless despair.

Finally, Chen Er reached them.

He ignored the young girl's hateful gaze, slowly raised his foot, preparing to completely crush the young girl's other intact leg.

Seeing this scene, some soft-hearted people nearby had already closed their eyes in distress.

The young girl was just an ordinary person, while Chen Er was a Cultivator of Body Tempering Fifth Layer.

It was foreseeable that with this kick, the young girl's leg would definitely be crushed into a pulp.

The young girl naturally knew this outcome, so she closed her eyes with a desolate expression.

"Brother Mo... you were right, the outside world is full of bad people."

"It's a pity... I'm useless, I couldn't protect my sister..."

"I've disappointed Mom and Dad..."

A stream of clear tears slid down the young girl's dirty cheek, dripping onto her sister's forehead in her arms.

This caused a strong ripple to suddenly rise in the little girl's heart!

"No, no one can hurt sister, no one can hurt sister!"

"No one!!"

As Chen Er's foot began to descend, no one noticed that in the depths of the young girl's sister's terrified pupils, a circle of deep red light eerily flickered at this moment.

An indescribably terrifying power was brewing, seemingly about to erupt from her frail and helpless body in the next second.

However, before this power could fully erupt, the Tianyun Tower next door first let out a huge roar!

Boom!

This huge sound startled everyone, and they all looked over at the source of the noise.

They saw that the wall on the street-facing side of Tianyun Tower had been crushed into powder by a terrifying, indescribable force, with wood splinters and bricks flying everywhere.

After the wall disappeared, all the astonished diners inside the restaurant were revealed.

But everyone's attention was not on them, but was attracted by a figure by the window on the second floor.

Around that figure, a terrifying aura of Qi and blood, visible to the naked eye like wolf smoke, was swirling, bringing an immense sense of oppression to everyone below.

And what frightened them even more was that the figure's extremely gloomy gaze was now clearly directed at them!

For a moment, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
