659 : Conspiracy

Chapter 659

Conspiracy
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Returning to Xi Jing meant that they had to pass through White Bone Town.

Originally, they hadn’t planned on stopping, but You XiaoMo observantly noticed that the town didn’t seem quite right. The prospering town had a beaten down air to it, and there weren’t many people on the streets.

You XiaoMo thought he was seeing things at first.

He remembered passing through White Bone Town with Ling Xiao on their way to Dong Zhou. Back then, the streets had been bustling with people, and the entire town was filled with life. It was nothing like now. Business was bleak, and customers were few, like when first visited.

They went to boss Wang’s inn and found out what had happened while they were away from Xi Jing. The identity of the level twelve demon beast that had perched itself here had been figured out.

The reason why the town was so empty was because most people had run over to witness the show of Tian Dao coming to deal with that guy.

…

The Tian Gou were very careful in selecting their members. This was clear from the number of their members. If they really did plan on recruiting an army, then it wouldn’t be possible for them to only have less than twenty members after almost ten thousand years.

By now, Ling Xiao had accepted Tian Gou, and so Tian Dao and company looked to him as their leader. This wouldn’t change. Ling Xiao was also planning on developing Tian Gou as his powerbase, so if anyone wanted to join Ling Xiao, then they would certainly become a member of Tian Gou.

However, Tian Dao didn’t want to recruit a bunch of people with ulterior motives, so while Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo were in DongZhou, Tian Dao was investigating the level twelve powerhouse in the town, and he really did find something.

Though, on the surface, that person said they wanted to join Ling Xiao, after building up a his own base, he often pressured the other powers there in Ling Xiao’s name, forcing them out of White Bone Town.

Soon enough, none of White Bone Town’s groups were a match for him.

However, he didn’t stop there, instead doing a lot terrible things in town, like charging protection fees and town entrance fees.

White Bone Town was protected by Tian Gou. Cheng Yi took the position of a member of Tian Gou and often boasted without shame. Apart from that, he often bullied outsiders under the banner of Ling Xiao and Tian Gou’s name. With these incidents becoming known, the people no longer held the same worshipful and amiable attitude when Tian Gou and Ling Xiao were brought up.

Tian Dao had already confirmed that Cheng Yi was here to throw dirt on their names.

A few days later, after Tian Ming came back from his mission, Tian Dao sent him and Tian Hen to deal with Cheng Yi.

By now, Tian Ming was already a Sacred level one star. As for Tian Hen, his body had been destroyed before, and it was already lucky enough for him that he was able to recover it. Though his strength hadn’t been able to be improved much, he was already at the peak of seven star.

Both of them were battle-thirsty. Though they weren’t as crazy as Tian Gui, they were equally as good at challenging those levels above them.

Tian Dao thought that they were enough to deal with that troublemaker, but reality was always surprising.

Tian Ming and Tian Hen lost, and afterwards, they sent back important information. Cheng Yi wasn’t a level twelve one star at all, but two star. He just used something to conceal his true cultivation level, tricking others into thinking he was one star.
